The South Cannot Afford the Loss.
The farmers and the business
men can save many millions for
the South by a concerted action.
The developement of the South
for the last few years has brought
a discussion of its possibilities
from ever section of the World.
Different things have had a part
in this developement. The prin
cipal thing, however, has been the
fact that the farmer was securing
good prices for his products
It is of first importance to every
business interest in the country
that this degree of developement
be continued, but the South can
not expect this rate of develope
meut to be maintained unless she
does her part in finishing the nec
essary basis for such develope
ment.
Everywhere heavy investments
have been made, and in order that
the obligations may be met and
that the country may not be em
barassed, it is necessary for the
South to have this Fall, in the
neighborhood of a thoueaud mill*
ion dollars for her money crop. A
thousand million dollars turned
Joo6e among Southern cotton
growers v i ssist the South in
pushing hei developments rapid
ly-
If we should, however, be forced
to sell cotton at 10 cts. a pound
instead of the legitimate price—
-15 cts. —the South would lose 337-
600,000. Georgia would lose from
forty-five to fifty million dollars.
The question to be asked is whose
loss is this? Does the farmer
alone sustain the loss? Is it not
a loss to every business interest
in the South. We think that it is
aud it is upon this basis that we
are working.
Mr. Farmer it comes to you first
to the South second. It is up to
you to take the lead in making
the Btand. It is up to the business
man to follow your example by
permitting you to put up extra
collateral and renew your accounts
aud notes. The cotton is being
as rapidly gathered as help can be
secured to do the work. The gins
are crowded to their capacity.
The bulk of the cotton is open.
At the present rate of gathering
the fields will be practically Lure
by December Ist
The price of cotton will go up,
If the farmer sells now somebody
else will reap the benefits of the
increased pnc9. The farmer who
holds his cotton will receive iron:
$lO to $25 per bale more than the
man who sells. Mr. Farmer, you
can afford to strain a point for
this extra $lO to $25 per bale.
It is the general impression that
the result of the coming election
will have no effect on the cotton
market, even if some jack has
waged his whole crop on it.
The man who preaches ioving
kindnefls sevendays in the week w 1!
not find much time in which to
think up meanness, even if he is
bent that way.
The total lumber production oi

Big; Circus Savannah
The Great Adam Forepaugh and
.Sells Br«>t hers’circus will give two
1 performances in Savannah on
Thursday, Oct. 19
In New York City this show is
considered the best of all Ameri
can amusement institutions. For
nearly fifty years it has held first
■ place in the esteem of the public
—in fact of the world, for there is
not a country on earth that is
civilized where at some time or
another it has not pitched its
nianv acres of tents.
The sensation with the Bhow
this vear is the automobile double
somersault in mid-air, accom
plished by a young French woman
not yet out of her teens. For ut
ter recklessness and apparent dis
regard of death this act stands
pre-eminent. The heavy car
shoots with lightning spepd down
a slender incline, leaps high in
the air and while the audience is
gasping it turns two complete
revolutions in space, then drop
ping with terrific force to a steel
platform. This is the most thril
ling of the world’s thrillers Cir
cuses in the past have exploited a
tame affair billed as a double som
ersaulting automobile act, but
when the truth is known but one
and one half revolutions were ac
complished. This is the only act
of genuine character that has been
Been in this country. It is a
French importation.
Other thrills are added by the
Ty-Bell ‘’Human Butterflies.”
They are three beautiful French
girls who, clinging by the teeth
to slender Bteel wires, are drawn
to the dome of the tent, where
by means of hidden mechanism
they are made to dive, dart, and
pirouette like birds while a bat
tery of electric spotlights and cal
ciums bathe them in fantastic
colors. The act is the most sensa
tional and at the same time the
most beautiful aerial spectacle
ever devised.
The parade which the show is
giving is three miles long and ab
solutely new in ideas from start
to finish. Over 1,000 people, 550
horses and three herds of ele
phants are seen in it,. The entire
equipment of the show is new and
the menagerie is the most com
plete collection of rare animals in
America.
Home, Sweet Home.
Home! What a hallowed name!
How full of enchantment aud hew
dear to the heart! Home is the
magic city within which thewear
,iest spirit finds refuge. The word
home touches every fibre of the
soul. Ask the lonely wanderer who
plods along his way, bent with the
weight of age and white with frost
of years, ‘‘What is home?” He
will say it is a green spot in mem
ory, a center about which the
fondest recollections of his grief
oppressed heart cling with all the
tenderness of youth’s first lovel
Home has an influence which is
stronger than death. It is law to
our hearts and binds us with a
spell which neither time nor
change can break. Not merely
friends and kindred render that
home so dear, but the very hills
and streams throw a charm
around the place of one’s nativity.
It is no wonder that grandest
hearts are tuned to sing of ‘‘Home
Sweet Home.” No songs are sweet
er than those we heard among the
boughs that shade our parent’s
dwelling, when some evening hour
f und us gay as the bird that war
bles o’er us. We may wander and
mingle with the world’s strife,
form new associates and fancy we
have forgotten the land of our
birth; but as we listen to those
summer winds, the remembrance
of other days come over the soul
and fancy bears us back to child
hood days and home.
We may find climes as beauti
ful and friends as dear, but they
will not usurp the place of
‘‘Home, Sweet Home.” —Flor-
ence Morehouse.

Outsider Named as Fulton’s Warden.
Atlanta, Oct. 2—They are turn
ing the laugh on the State Game
Commissioner, Jee»e Mercer, of
Fitzgerald, for having appoiuted
as game warden for Fulton coun
ty, J. W. McCord, of Crawford
ville, Taliaferro county, seventy
miles from Atlanta.
It is stated that the only con
nection Mr. McCord has ever
had with Fulton county, is that
his brother, H. Y. McCord, a
prominent merchant, lives here.
Just why a resident of Craw
fordville, seventy miles from At
lanta, should have been appoint
ed game warden for this county,
has nDt yet been explained, ex
cept it be on the ground possibly,
that it is a pretty good job, and
the warden can delegate his du
ties to someone else and ‘ whack
up’ with him .
This is the only suggestion re
garding the appointment that has
been forthcoming so far. Probably
there are more hunters iu Atlanta
than any other city of the state,
because Atlanta and Fulton coun
ty have more population. Then
most all of the Atlanta hunters do
their hunting outside of Fulton
county, so that they will have to
buy state licenses at $8 each in
stead of the $1 license which is lim
ited to a single county. Many
non-residents, too, desiring to
hunt m Georgia would come to At
lanta as a central point for their
license and these must pay $25.
The county warden get 9 a good
percentage out of these fee 9 and it
is figured that his income in this
county will be something like
$3,6.6 a year or nearly double the
salary of the state warden.
Local aspirants for the office are
therefore, naturally somewhat sore
over the appointment of an out
sider.
The State Game Warden is not
making many mistakes in making
appointments. He has appointed
M. A. McQueen for Toombs, a
good mau every way, but Mr. Mc-
Queen travels for the Vidalia Cof
fin factory and he is out of the
county a great deal of his time- If
he will remain in the count} and
give the position his attention, he
is as good a man a9 could be found.
We want to see tho law enforced as
we think it a good law.

Perhaps you have never given much con=
Bideration to their purchase, but think for a minute of the long days
the little ones must spend in using them, and how muh pleasure and
satisfaction it means if everything is just like they want it.
Something that does not suit is a keen dis=
oppointment, and now is the time that your children are formiu
habits and ideas that will have a great influence on their futures.
Failure to equip them with the proper supplies is an actual
handicap.
We have taken all of these features into consideration in buying
our school supplies, and the children will receive the same prices, if
they come alone, as you do.
