NEWNAN, FRIDAY, AUG. 28.
LOCALS BROUGHT FORWARD.
Mias Georgia Atkinson, who accompa
nied a party of Atlanta friends on a
trip to Europe eight or ten weeks ago,
and was caught in the whirl of the war
excitement which blazed forth so sud
denly in that unhappy country, reached
home Wednesday. She was in Paris
when the war broke out. but together
with Mrs. Curtis Arnall North and Miss
Lyle, of Atlanta, succeeded later in
reaching London. After being ma
rooned in the English capital for two
weeks they finally secured passage on a
steamship sailing for New York on the
loth inst., and landed at that port on
Sunday last. Miss Atkinson’s party
endured many privations and hardships,
whose recuuntal would fill a good-
sized book. Her many friends are re
joiced to have her at home again.
The meeting called for Saturday
morning last by Mr. R. D. Cole, presi
dent of the County Chamber of Com
merce, to consider the problem of hand
ling the cotton crop the coming season,
was well attended Dy farmers and busi
ness men. Mr. Cole presided, and sta
ted the purpose of the meeting. Messrs.
H. A. Hall, W. A. Brannon and H. C.
Arnall, sr., took part in the discussion
which followed, but no definite plan of
action waB decided upon. Messrs. W.
A. Brannon, R. D. Cole and Arthur
Sewell were chosen as delegates to a
State meeting held yesterday in Macon
to consider the same question, which
not only affects vitally the interests of
the farming class, but every business
interest as well. Messrs. H. C. Arnall,
sr., H. C. Arnall, jr., H. A. Hall and
T. B. McRitchie attended the meeting
also.
Mrs. Nancy Peek, whose illness we
have mentioned several times recently,
died at her home 3 miles west of the
city Wednesday at 10 o’clock. She was
nearly 82 years of age, and died at the
old home-place of her father. For
quite a while she had been in declining
health, and those near and dear to her
could see that the end was rapidly ap
proaching. She was a good woman,
had many warm friends, and will be
greatly missed. She is survived by
one brother, Mr. E. T. Peek, and three
daughters, Mrs. T. W. Methvin, Mrs.
Joe Nixon and Miss Della Peek. She
is a daughter of the late Leonard Peek.
The interment will take place at Tran
quil cemetery this (Thursday) after
noon at 4 o’clock. The services will be
conducted by Rev. H. S. Rees and Rev.
J. G. Davis.—Senoia Enterprise-Ga
zette.
Under a law passed by the Legisla
ture in 1913 the fund derived from the
tax on automobiles was to be oppor-
tioned by the State Treasurer to the
different counties of the State, the dis
tribution to be made in proportion to
the total mileage of R. F. D. routes in
operation in each county. State Treasur
er Speer had no reliable data at hand
upon which to base the apportionment,
and consequently the distribution was
not made. In order to secure Coweta’s
pro rata of the fund thus held up the
County Commissioners have employed
Mr. F J. Flannery to measure the sev
eral R. F. D. routes in the county and as
certain the total mileage in operation.
He started out Tuesday, and expects by
the end of the week to have the survey
completed. There are twenty-four
routes in the county, as follows: New-
nan 7, Senoia 4, Grantville 3, Turin 2,
Sharpsburg 2, Haralson 1, Raymond 1,
Moreland 1, Sargent 1, Madras 1, Mc
Collum 1—a total of nearly 600 miles.
Emergency Funds Soon Available for
Georgia Farmers.
Special to Atlnnta Constitution.
Washington, Aug. 27. — Emergency
currency is soon to be available for
national banks to loan to cotton far
mers.
Secretary McAdoo, in a formal state
ment to-day, said the Treasury De
partment would accept from Notional
Currency Associations commercial pa
per backed by warehouse receipts for
cotton and tobacco at 76 per cent, of its
face value and issue thereon emergency
currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland
act. *
Only national banks may organize a
currency association, but the associa
tions are already in existence in Geor
gia prepared for emergency, although
no currency has ever been issued
through them. Notes for their use
have been printed, and a half billion
dollars of this currency has been stored
in Washington.
State banks can receive no direct re
lief under this plan. Secretary McAdoo
is opposed to national currency being
issued through the State banks.
I am convinced that there is ade
quate power under existing law,” he
said, ”to issue through the nationnl
banks all the currency to meet any
reasonable demand that may develop in
any part of the country, and that it) is
not necessary to extend the note
issuing privilege to State banks.
“The Secretary of the Treasury al
ready has the power to issue one bil
lion dollars of additional national bank
currency if it should bo required, but I
cannot imagine a condition when any
such need will arise.”
Secretary McAdoo warns the country
that this emergency currency is not to
be used for speculative purposes. He
also cautions mutual co-operation
among bankers, merchants and far
mers to help tide over the present
war crisis. In discussing the system
whereby emergency currency will be
issued, he said:
"The plan ought to enable the far
mers to pick and market the cotton
crop if the bankers, merchants and
cotton manufacturers will co-operate
with each other and with the farmers,
and will avail themselves of relief of
fered by the Treasury within reasona
ble limits. Such co-operation is earn
estly urged upon all these interests.
“The farmer cannot expect as high
a price for cotton this year because of
the European war, yet he should not be
forced to sacrifice his crop.
The banker and the merchant should
not exact excessive rates of interest,
and the manufacturers should replenish
their stocks as much as possible and
ay reasonable prices for the product.
' this is done, and it can be done if
every one displays a helpful spirit, a
normal condition can be restored and
there ought to be no Berious difficulty
in taking care of the cotton problem.
' This is a time when the entire coun
try expects that purely selfish interests
shall be subordinated to the common
rood; that undue advantage shall not
oe taken of each other. I am happy to
say that this spirt seemed to animate
those who attended the so-called cotton
conference held at my request in
Washington on Aug. 24 and 25.
It is not my purpose to prescribe
the character of warehouses in which
cotton and tobacco may be stored. The
banks will be relied upon to see that
warehouse receipts issued by responsi
ble warehousemen or warehouse com
panies alone are accepted, and that the
cotton and tobacco stored in such ware
houses is covered by adequate fire in
surance and is protected against injury
by the elements.”

THE MACON CONVENTION.
Special to Atlanta Constitution.
Macon, Ga., Aug. 27.—Georgia far
mers and bankers gathered here to-day
to discuss the cotton crisis brought
about by the closing of European cot
ton markets by the war, formed the
Georgia Cotton Congress, with John D.
Walker, of Sparta, as president, and
adopted resolutions imposing a 3-cent
production tax on 1915 cotton, and
agreed to curtail the crop by 50 per cent.
The new-born organization will affil
iate with the Southern Cotton Growers’
Association and will be known as the
Georgia division.
Great enthusiasm was manifested
when the organization sprang into exis
tence. It will have the support of the
National Farmers’ Union and other
powerful bodies. Organization will be
perfected soon.
To insure curtailment of next year’s
crop, the convention adopted a resolu
tion urging creditors, when making
contracts with cotton farmers for ex
tension of credit, to enter into an agree
ment that the farmer curtail his crop
to the extent of 50 per cent, in 1915.
As a means of giving the farmer im
mediate relief, the convention adopted
a resolution calling on bankers, mer
chants and other creditors to advance
the necessary money to harvest cotton,
otherwise a large portion will be lost in
the fields and entail a great loss.
Other resolutions advised farmers
not to sell at present prices, w henever
possible; urged.creditors to accept cot
ton from farmers, to be credited on ac
count, cotton to be held for the account
of the farmer, and when the price ad
vances the farmer will benefit from the
advance.
The convention alsH urged creditors
to make interest charges as low as pos
sible.
Other resolutions adopted were:
That farmers use caution in harvest
ing this year’s crop, so that it shall be
the highest grade and command highest
price.
That merchants and bankers advance
necessary money to harvest the crop to
prevent waste in the fields.
That bankers and other interests be
assured of the appreciation of farmers
for their interest and co operation in
the present crisis.
That farmers and laborers co-operate
with merchants and bankers in har
vesting the crop.
A sub-committee of three will be ap
pointed to secure legal advice and pre
pare resolutio s to be presented at the
convention of Governors to be held in
Atlanta on Sept. 3.
Hon. Hewlette A. Hall, of Newnan,
urged the convention to adopt a resolu
tion demanding that Congress pass im
mediately a bill authorizing the Govern
ment to buy 5,000,000 bales of this
year’s crop at an average of 12 cents,
which is the estimated cost of produc
tion.
The convention authorized Mr. Hall
to confer with Senators Smith and
West and the Georgia Congressmen
and make a report to the association.

NEWNAN, GA,, AUGUST 28, 1914
No. 21
The War and the Price of Drugs
Farmers' Union, strongly urged the
bill in a spirited address.
Commissioner of Agriculture Price
urged the holding of cotton in the seed.
Following the session of the farmers
and merchants, the bankers met to
formulate plans to give the farmers
immediate aid along the lines suggested
in the resolutions.
While the convention took no action
on the suggestions urging that 15 or 20
per cent, of the present crop be sold
immediately, it is apparent that the
county organizations will follow out the
plan. This will give the farmers be
tween $15,000,000 and $20,000,000.
More than 1,400 bankers, farmers and
merchants in attendance were stirred
when John D. Walker, of Sparta, chair
man of the conference, declared that
the Government statistics show that
Georgia farmers alone have already
contributed $25 a bale as toll of war,
and that the cost to Georgia has been
$40,000,000.
"We must have immediate action,”
Chairman Walker urged, “and unless
the farmers take action now the situa
tion will not be relieved. The toll of
war charged against the farmer is fig
ured on the basis of cotton sold at 13
cents before the war was declared, and
now selling aL 7 cents.
"Farmers cannot pay their debts on
the present price of cotton, and while
our Government is doing all in its pow
er to help us, we must realize that we
have got to get into tho fight and help
ourselves.”
Chairman Walker urged that at least
15 or 20 per cent, of the present crop
be disposed of, and that by curtailing
next year’s crop and imposing a 3-cent
production tax, the surplus of 1914 and
next year’s crop will restore prosperity
throughout the South.
Indications at the morning session
were that it is the sentiment of farmers
and bankers here that the holding
movement be discouraged.
“What must be done now is to organ
ize the farmers into a permanent body,”
said W. J. Walker, of Screven county.
After that we must look to the imme
diate financing of the present crop, and'
make it certain that the overproduction
of 1915 will not be sufficient to hurt the
market.”
New York bankers sent to the conven
tion a telegram declaring that drafts
drawn on cotton stored in warehouses
will be acceptable in New York. This
assurance came through a representa
tive of the National City Bank, the lar
gest and one of the moBt influential
banks in the United States, and iB ta
ken as an indication that other East
ern and Northern bankB will take the
same stand, and the tense situation will
be relieved.
Fertilizer manufacturers of the State
who have accounts against the crop will
also aid in relieving the situation by
authorizing their banks to accept ware
house receipts on cotton to be held as
collateral on loans. Cotton turned over
to them as collateral will not be taken
from the control of the farmer. On the
contrary, it will remain his property,
and he derive the benefit of any ad
vance in price.
Chairman Walker briefly outlined the
"rescue measures” which are now be
ing discussed in Washington.
He urged that the farmers and hank
ers of the South discourage the holding
movement. He explained that at least
15 or 20 per cent, of the crop should be
placed on the market and sold.
“This will bring us about $15,000,000
or $20,000,000,” he explained. “This
money will be freBh money, and will be
available for immediate use.”
The European war is causing a heavy and rapid
advance in the prices ofall drugs, chemicals and per
fumes made abroad, as well as many oilier kindred
lilies, many of them having doubled in price, an:’,
some impossible to obtain at any price. Germany
is the greatest foreign manufacturer of chemicals,
while most of the perfume supplies come from
France. China, fancy goods and glassware from
Austria. Tooth and hair brushes come largely from
France. Prices have been withdrawn by many
houses.
We are trying to safeguard your interests in a
price way. We are not advancing prices, unless
forced to do so, and then as little as possible. We
are fortunately carrying a large stock of goods—
much heavier than is usually found in a store in
a town no larger than this—and are therefore in
position to save our customers money on purchases.
We recommend that our lady customers take
this opportunity to lest the merits of some of the
very fine American toilet goods which we have ex
clusive agencies for. We believe that Bouquet Jan
ice and Violet Dulce products will compare favor
ably with any of the French makes. These goods
are produced in the finest perfume laboratory in
the world, and the head of this perfume laboratory
is the only American perfumer that has ever been
awarded a gold medal by the French government.

Summer Constipation Dangerous.
Constipation in summer-time is more
dangerous than in the fall, winter or
spring. The food you eat is often con-
taminate’d and is more likely to ferment
in your stomach. Then you are apt to
drink much cold water during the hot
weather, thus injuring your stomach.
Colic, fever, ptornain poisoning and
other ills are natural results. Po-Do-
Lax will keep you well, as it increases
the bile, the natural laxative, which
rids the bowels of the congested poison
ous waste. Po-Uo-Lax will make you
feel better. Pleasant and effective.

Resolutions on the Death of Frank
H. Hubert.
Whereas, Bro. Frank H. Hubert hav
ing been a faithful and loyal mem'-ier
of the Cotter Bible Class of the First
Methodist church of Newnan, both as a
student and in an official capacity, and
having lived an exemplary life of kind
ness and fidelity to duty, always punc
tual and mindful of others, always dili
gent in the advancement of his church,
popular among his fellows, and highly
esteemed by all who knew him, and
having departed this life on Aug. 9,
1914, therefore be it resolved—
1. That the Cotter Bible Class of
the First Methodist church has lost one
of its most useful members.
2. That we tender heartfelt sympa

3. That these resolutions be Bpread
upon the minutes of the Cotter Bible

Length of War Depends
nition.
Hanlon TranHcript.
In the opinion of Hudson Maxim, the
inventor of smokeless powder and an
authority upon the equipment of most
of the great powers, the length of the
present struggle will be determined not
by the loss of life, hut by the exhaust
ive cost of the operations and the am
munition available. He says that En
gland, France and Germany have each
about a half billion pounds of gunpow
der, and while the war may last till
this is gone, the stupendous character
of the operations is likely to make a
single great battle cost more, outside
of the lives lost, than any of the warH
described in modern history. There will
he little chance, according to the pres
ent prospect, of rallying from the ef
fects of each successive engagement.
The French have better made field guns
than the Germans, but not so many of
them. Still they can Bhoot farther and
are more easily handled. “But if the
gunpowder outlasts the money to pay
for carrying on the war, it would be a
great surprise to me," be adds.
