The Herald and Advertiser 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.” Mothers Tell of Mother’s Friend Experience Is or should bo our bent teacher.

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. Charles S. Barren, president of tbe Cates’ Drug Bulletin Items ol Interest and Seasonable Offerings From John R. Cates Drug Co. Vol. 1 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.

Camp, Committee. Adopted Aug. 23. M. A. Tyus, Sec’y. 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.
