Will Enforce the Law.
‘‘Georgia lias a new game law,
Col. Jesse Mercer,of Fitzgerald,has
been appointed state game warden
and he declares he is going to en
force the provisions of the act.
Here’s hoping that he will suc
ceed in his undertaking. The law
should be enforced, else before
long Georgia will be destitute of
game. There is not a great deal
now, and if the slaughter contin
ues a few years longer as it has
been going on in the past, there
will scarcely be enough left for
seed.
And just here we desire to call
attention to the fact that it is the
duty of every law abiding citizen
to help the commissioner and the
wardens who will be under him,
in the discharge of their duty. For
years past hunters have been call
ing for a strong game law. At
la6t they have succeeded in get
ting one through the legislature,
the governor has approved it, and
it is NOW, the law.
In order to reap the benefits
from it, it must be enforced. If
every hunter will do his duty he
will be a great help to the game
wardens.
In the first place every one of
them should determine that he
will not violate the law under any
circumstance. We know that as
a rule they are not going to do it.
They wont take their dogs and
gun out for a regular days hunt
until the open season for hunting
arrives. Not one in a hundred will
go as far as to do that. Once in
a while one might be found, who
would not do it if he were positive
that he would not be found out.
but this kind of hunter is not
very numerous.
But there are a few, perhaps
who would violate the law under
some circumstances and really not
regard it as a violation. For in
stance one may be going along the
public road, haviug his gun with
him and his dog may have follow
ed him. This dog may point to a
covey of partridgesjnear the road
side.
Now the man is’nt out hunting.
Hedid’nt leave home with the in
tention of shooting partridges.
And yet here is a temptation that
it takes a strong man to resist,
particularly if he thinks no one
will be the wiser.
But hunters in Georgia, in order
that the game law may be enforc
ed as it should be, should resist
such temptation as this. If they
will do s they will contribute
very much to the proper enforce
ment of the law. The man who
yields to a temptation of this kind
is as guilty, technically, as if he
had shouldered his gun, called his
dog and gone from home with the
announced intention of hunting
all day.”—Columbus Enquirer

Wake Them up.
A clergyman one warm Sunday
seemed to bring his sermon to
somewhat ot an abrupt and illog
ical stop. Then he said, “The con
gregation will rise and sing the
third and fourth stanzas of the—
psalm.”
The general deduction was that
the minister realized the irksome
ness of the heat and was cutting
his sermon short. Everybody look
ed for the benediction at the con
clusion of the singing, but when
it was ended he said.
‘‘The congregation will be seated.
When I was expatiating upon
my text I noticed that ten or fif
teen persons were asleep, and I
thought it beet to arouse them.”
Then he resumed his sermon.—

The Out-look for Cotton.
During the pastthirty days the
wnather conditions have been
injurious to the cotton crop
throughout the whole cotton sec
tion. In some portions of the
South, especially in Oklahoma
and Western Texas, the weather 1
has been too hot. Further east >
the weather has been too moist
and in other sections still the boll
weevil has appeared and the plant
is not maturiirg as it should do
during August, consequently the
estimates of the crop, always too
large, must, ‘be radically reduced.
The markets, a months ago,
were talking of a crop of 15 mil
lion. The,y are now talking of a
crop of 13 million. If 15 million
was not too much, 13 million is
far too small to meet the needs of
the world,and the different manu
facturing countries will have to
bid against one another for their
cotton supply.
Senator Williams, of Mississip
pi, Senator Burleson, of Texas,
representing a conference of Sena
tors and Representatives of seven
cotton-growing States, urge the
State Banking Association to co
operate against the bearish move
ment of the speculators in the cot
ton market. This committee is
sues a statement to the effect that
there has been a preconcerted ef
fort, through the New York Cot
ton Exchange, to break the price
of cotton. These gentleman set
forth the fact that even a 15 mil
lion-bale crop of cotton would
still fall short of the world’s de
mand, as advices from Egypt, In
dia and China indicate short crops
in those countries.
Those gentleman are sending a
letter to the president of the
Farmers’ Union and to other cot
ton farmers’ organizations asking
them to advise their local unions
and other subordinate bodies to
advise the farmers generally to
hold their cotton for 13 cents and
to continue to demand that price
, till by convention or agreement a
different price is agreed upon.
Thirteen cents, say these gentle
men, is seemingly less than that
justified by the condition of the
market.
Rains in the Southwest during
the week ending August 26th were
said to have greatly improved
cotton prospects in Texas and
Arkansas, and they checked the
advance when the markets opened
Monday, August 28th. The gov
ernment report made public Fri
day, September 1, shows a
marked decline during August all
over the cotton belt.—Southern

Our Bank Statement Explained, j
ILTo. S. I
THE BANKING HOUSE. j
” Most every well established bank owns its Banking House, just I
1 ; as nearly every well-to-do citizen of family owns bis home. A man
of means can properly enjoy for himself and family such comforts as
” are supplied by the substantial, roomy and well-appointed residence.
;; Likewise, a bank of some magnitude, being permanently in business,
II seeks not only to house its affairs becomingly, but to have for both
11 its officers and employees, and its customers and the public generally,
;; such reasonable quarters and oonvencies as the day permits.
11 It is important ihat a bank invest only a reasonable portion of
11 its Capital Stock or Resources in a Banking House, and circumstan-
H ces vary greatly. No rule cun be laid down. Prudence suggests that
<« allowance be made for loss by fire, and that the fourth value of im
-11 provements, that cannot be insured, be charged off (gradually if K
;; need be.) r
Five of the largest banks in New York city, according to their
11 recently published reports, have an aggregate of $18,279,899,10 in- B
;; vested in their Banking Houses, including Furniture and Fixtures in
<> two cases. The National City Bank and the Hanover National Bank
11 each have more than $5,000,000,00 so invested. City banks are obli- II
11 ged to have the best locations, and such sites now-a-davs are quite ll
<> generally improved with the buildings of the sky-scraper type.
