The Herald and Advertiser NEWNAN, FIRMAY. OCT. HO. CnmnuiniCAtni. Mr. Shedden Offers Some Sugges tions on Cotton Situation. To tho Farmers in ami Around Ray mond: It strikes me u» very itrqortatit that you good m ntlctnen should meeti quite often 10 Study out tin* heat way! to *,jt*t around llu tJivm ni situation. aV' it uifocis our m ijjhhfrhond. There are very tew eonunuruiji.a that are not ;»e-1 tiwly co-opeirtUoK tor the ttutut of ev- , erybudy. nmi espefial'y those who are in the greatest iroutde. below I «ive a ! copy of an advert !u*meot which strikes ’ me us a very tit risible out*. and one rnal| eou d he reproduced possibly from Ra\- tnond a lew times in tin* New York and Chicago papers. ■’PISTKEcSSKt) COTTON i'lllt Al.K UY l \U- MKItS "All orders received he re for on** or m >re bales of cotton at In cents pound. We insure and store it free (vr,- until March 1. Address Central NAatchouse. Send checks to Third National Hans, Fitzgerald, Ua." Toere are hundreds ot individuals i throUKhout the country who would he I perfectly willing to help out the cause j by buying a $5o bale of cotton, (nil they ; do not exactly understand what n j means, hsvine never liad occasion to! look into the matter. They naturally I do not want cotton sent to them. it. they know about a warehouse ticket, ! they do not knew where to write, utul i where cotton will he absolutely secured. | I will be glad to send out u large i number of circulars myself to New I Y ork and elsewhere, if our league wdl I get them tip. As I am actively interested in the 1 "Buy-a-Rale” movement, 1 have al-1 ready ir.iluenced directly or indirectly | the purchase of quite a number of bales.! An active campaign, in which 5,000 or i 10,000 circulars might, tie mailed to NY u I York, should produce results, and if some large concern should give an or der for, say, 5(H) bales, they would be able to take up twist of the cotton which farmers will have to hold in our county. As you know, 1,000 men organized are worth more than 10,000 unorgan ized; so 100 rntn in Raymond, organized and actively interested in this vital matter, can do a groat deal for them selves. All of you probably read an account of the large meeting of bankers in At lanta, who are interested in what is called the St. Louis plan, to raise $150,- 000,000 to lend on cotton. This plan, briefly stated, is to raise the above amount and loan it for 12 months on middling cotton at 7 per cent, interest, on a basis of b cents, finch Southern bank is to receive from the pool X2 for every $1 it puts into the fund, so mat if the Bank of Raymond subscribes §5,00(1 for one year, the farmers who have cotton in the warehouses can borrow §10,000, etc. There will undoubtedly he other means of relief, which must come if the business of ihe country continues i<> run. I feel that you gentlemen can do your part: and make the suggestion that every one, who wants to, deposit every dollar he can rake and scrape to gether in the bank, and write to all his friends and business connections, urg ing them to make long-time loans of any amount, which the bank can put in their savings department, and pay good interest on. "The Lord helps those who help themselves;’’ and at your first meeting, if you will elect, a strong com mittee, I believe they can take charge, and, with meetings every week or two, plans and schemes can be devised to ease the situation, so far as our partic ular community is concerned. It is idle to sit around and wait for the Government or the hankers to pull us out of the hole. We, of course, hope they will do so; but in the meantime you can send out circulars, or do some advertising in the Ncnth, and if you sell only 100 bales on a 10-eent basis, you will have done your share. If you succeed in selling *1,000 bales, or iind some rich man who will lend us all we want on cotton as an investment, you will not have to wait on the possible action of other /armors, bankers. Gov ernors, and Washington. Every man can do something. R. F. Shedden. W. T. Hutchens. Nicholson, Ga., had a severe attack of rheumatism.

It is h convenience to rnsny people, including houseke pfs. to do their shopping and order their house hold sup plies on ihe monthly or weekly account plan. This custom is really not a credit system, und those w ho buy goods with the understanding that the account i*. to he rendered and paid on the first of the month do not cook.dvr that they are buying on credit. Nor dues the mer chant or dealer consider that he is sell ing on credit. When the oil! is ren dered nnd not promptly paid, however, what was intended ns a mere con veil ienee not only becomes a system of credit, but usually takes on an element of uncertainty that soon constitutes a menace to business. There is entirely ton much laxity and indifference witn reference to the pay ment of monthly bills, and there hiis been great complaint ill local business circles recently with reference to col ! ctions. fhe flimsiest sort of excuses for putting oir ihe psvment of hills are nlfered, end tin* experience of ihe av erage collector is that the longer he is put elf with excuses and the old r a hill ge's the hauler it is to collect. Through failure to collect even a mod erate percent ge of bis monthly ac counts when they arc due a small mer chant or dealer soon accumulates more accounts than he can afford to carry, and then his own credit is liable to be ulfected an«l his business begins to suf fer. The truth of the whole mn'tor is, that too many people, inc'udiug sala ried men, are living beyond their means and spending their Hmiud >nc ones in advance. There are iusiooces, of course, where misfortune imposes ex traordinary expense upon those with limited incomes. In such cases, how ever, failure to nay t ills can be readily explained and will usually be apprecia ted and indulgence willingly extended; but it ia a different, thing when one’s failure and mabilby to pay is due to extravagance and on abuse of the credit that has been extended. The payment of one bill may enable half a dozen others to pay their bills with the same money in the course of a single day. and if we were all more punctillious in settling our debts, great and small, much of the wear and tear and worry that now attach to nearly every business would be eliminate*!. Toned up Whole System “Chamberlain’s Tablets have done more for me than I ever dared hone for.’’ writes Mrs. Esther Mae Baker, Spencer- port, N. Y. "I used several bottles of these tablets a few months ago. They not only cured me of bilious attacks, sick headaches and that tired out feel ing, but toned up my whole system.” For sale by all dealers. Cotton of 1013 and 1014. I.Millville (Gil. * News nnd Farmer. The report, of the Government os to the number cf bales of cotton gmned up tr> Sept. 25 is as follows; For Ifll”, 401,511 bales, and for 1014. 750 005 bales, being an increase of 275 587 bales. This j is a heavy increase, and is having a hig j impression on the price. And when we take both the war and the hig cron into consideration, the farmers wi I be forced to greatly reduce the 1015 crop if they expect a good price on that part of the 1014 crop they will have to carry over. And they will have to begin at once to show that they mean to reduce the crop. Oats, wheat, rve nnd barley will have to be planted with no sparing hand. Next spring a hig corn crop and other food crops will have to be put in as a further proof that the cotton crop of 1915 will be cut down greatly. We do not see why it should be' eon- sidered a hardship to reduce the cotton crop. To continue to make u big crop will prove a much dearer herrlshiu. Cotton has been put to the test and found wanting. Why, then, persist in the. way that has bankrupted the South? It. is folly to depend upon one crop to buy all of the necessities of life, espe cially when the other side has the pow er to set the price on cotton, and then chnrge what they please for what they sell to the farmer. The other side would be poor traders if they did not make a profit out of the farmers when they have all the power in their hands. The only way for the farmer to succeed and be independent is to produce first what he needs, and then he can sell and buy to some extent when he pleases, anil have some voice in the prices to be received and given. The old plan has worked poverty, and we think it ia time t.o try another way. And a change will aid in solving another great problem— the labor question. It requires so much labor to produce a cotton crop that the farmers now get nothing but high, and yet very poor, labor. As long ns the demand for labor is so great and men are running over each other to get it. we may expect it to be expensive, and equally poor. The labor we get now is not worth half what it costs. Drop so much cotton and you will soon see cheaper, or, what is prefera ble, better labor. Some years ago an English lady di vorced her German husband and married an English officer. The child of the first marriage and that of the second are with the mother, while the two fathers are in the war on opposite sides. The two little girls say their prayers together every night. But while Evelyn says: "{’lease God. don’t let Sybil’s daddv kill my daddy."

The librarian hunted tt op in a cookbook and read it to her over the telephone too And the one who asked for a brief sketch of the French revolution over the telephone.

Wn are told by the textbooks on light that rod glass Is red boonusi* It absorbs all the other rays of the spec trum nnd transmits only tho red; that bine glass absorbs nil except the blue, nnd so with glass of every other color The fact that red glass superimposed npon blue glass transmits violet light seems in contradiction of this leaching, according to which the red glass would absorb all tho blue and green light and transmit nothing but red to the blue, which, in turn, would absorb ali the red. The reason for the violet light Is that no red glass made is of sufficiently pun.* color to absorb all tho blue and green waves and no blue glass 1s suf ficiently pure to absorb all tho red and orange rays. Ho the red transmits a certain amount of tho bluo nnd green and the blue transmits a certain amount of tho red and ornnge. Enough of tho blue rays cornu through the red glass and enough of the red rays through the blue glnss to make n nice violet or pnrple when tho glasses are superimposed. The Scientific American describes o simple experiment by which you may prove the truth of the theory. Dis solve red aniline in amyl ulcohol and copper chloride in dilute hydrochloric acid. The one will give you a trans parent red liquid that will actually ab sorb all the rays but the red; the other will give you a transparent greenish blue liquid that will absorb all the red and orange rays. If you mix the two liquids and shake them up they will turn black. But they will not stay mixed and will quickly separate again. Hard to Pronounce. One of the hard names to pronounce Is that of the central Russian govern ment culled Nijnl Novogrod. The first “1” has the sound of **e;" the second is short.
