THE FARMERS ANI) THE COT-
TON-HOLDING I‘LA N.
Peter Radford, National Lecturer of
the Farmers' Union and agricultural
expert, has Riven out an interview on
the $135,000,000 cotton-holding plan, in
which he presents the farmer’s view
point of the subject. Mr. Radford
wants to know what has become of the
money, and invites the co-operation of
the business interests of the nation in
warehousing and financing the crops of
the future.
“The value of the 1914 crop is 6 cents
less per pound, or $480,000,000 less than
the value of lust year’s crop," said Mr.
Radford. “This is u greater financial
blow to the South than the freeing of
the slaves.
“The Farmers’ Union asked Congress
to meet the emergency by lending mon
ey on cotton, so as to enable poor far
mers to hold their crop, but the request
was rejected -or, rather, modified by
the Government agreeing to join wifh
bankers in providing a fund of $135,-
000,000 for lending on cotton. The anti
trust law had a special construction
placed upon it, the patriotism of hunk
ers was appealed to, and headlines full
of hope were flashed across the col
umns of the lauding newspapers of the
nation for a few months; but —where is
the money?. No farmer has ever seen u
dollar of it.
“There is nothing quite so destruc
tive to those in distress as false hopes,
nnd if this movement, which has been
so persistently heralded to the world,
hus failed, we are entitled to know it,
“I want to call attention to the fuct
that the farmer was never consulted in
the transaction. The story was told
him ns children nro told the story of
Arabian Nights and the bedtime story
of the rainbow with the pot of gold,
and it seems to be about the same sort
of literature. The farmers were never
taken into the confidence or the coun
cils of the business men und the Gov
ernment officials engaged in the trans
action. We do not know why.
“It is perhaps sufficient to say that a
business movement having for its com
ponent parts the most powerful forces
on the American continent made an
honest and strenuous effort to help the
farmer and failed, and the farmers of
the South are now drinking the bitter
dregs of that, failure. Approximately
three-fourtl;s of the cotton crop is now
out of the hands of the producer, and
the poor farmer who most needed nit n-
ey has already squared accounts and
begun the struggle to overcome the def
icit that hus taken school books from
his children, shoes oir his wife, und
threatens the shelter of his fumily.
“The Department of Agriculture es
timates the 1914 cotton crop at 15,969,-
000 bales. This is the largest, produc
tion in the history of the cotton indus
try. The 1911 crop held the record up to
the present year, with a production of
15,1190,701 bales. It is estimated that
there is at least 2,000,000 hales in the
field, much of it deserted by discour
aged fanners, and which will probably
never be gathered. The 1914 crop also
ranks among the largi st in production
p r acre, averaging 20S pounds, and
reaches the low water mark in price.
The price officially estimated for the
1914 crop is <! cents per pound, against
un average price of 12 cents per pound
in 1913 and a production of 182 pounds
per acre.”
TURIN.
We wish for the readers of The Her
ald and Advertiser a prosperous and
happy New Year. To iiltnin these
blessings it will he necessary to employ
tie forces of both body and soul. As
tne wise man said, “What thy hands
find to do, do it with all thy might, for
there is no device nor work in the grave,
whithet thou goest.” During the year
now closing many dear friends have
passed away, and it is reasonable to as
sume that like sorrows will be experi
enced during the year to cotne. The
toll of death is taken from rich and
poor alike; therefore, we exhort you in
the language of the Master, who. in
His farewell address to His disciples,
said; "What 1 say unto you 1 say unto
all: ’Watch!’ ”
The holidays passed off quietly, with
fewer drunks than has been observed
half of Leo Frank, the alleged mur
derer of Mary Phagan. We know noth
ing concerning the case except what
has appeared in the newspapers, and
therefore declined to interfere in the
matter. If the condemned man is inno
cent it would bo wrong to deprive him
of his life, hut if guilty he should hang.
Revolting crimes such as that with
which Frank is charged deserves the
penalty of the law, ke the culprit Jew
or Gentile.
A letter received from Miss Louie In
graham, formerly of Senoia, informs
us that she is now teaching at Lake
Park, Lowndes county.
The writer was kindly remembered
during Christmas by Miss Mary Sum
mers, of Vienna, Ga., with a nice gift,
which he highly appreciates. She is the
accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Drury Summers, formerly of Coweta.
Hut few people in our section are
changing homes this winter—upon the cotton. The farmer had gone in debt
There Are Others.
Dawson New*.
It is being insisted in some quarters
that the farmers ought to pay their
debts.
Vt by the farmers any more than the
men of other vocations?
Of course, the farmer should pay as
as much as he is able to pay of what he
owes, but it is up to other men who
may chance to owe money to meet their
obligations as much so as the farmer.
The farmer has been held up as an ex
ample with morn of insistence than
seem fair or desirable. The obligation
to come up to 'he scratch rests on all of
us —for few people are fortunate enough
to he entirely free of debt.
This thing of making the farmer the
pivot on which the whole scheme
hinges grew out of the fact the cotton
season came on with the war and de
pression of business. The farmer had
theory, we presume, that one place is
about as good as another such times as
these.

to produce the cotton. As a rule he had
to do that if he wanted to raise cotton.
Cotton is cash when ready to market.
Perhaps it was entirely natural that
everybody turned first to the farmer as
the man who could relieve the situation
of stress by selling his product. With
one accord everybody wanted the far
mer to unload, to sell his cotton, no
matter what the price. The effect
would have put money in circulation and
helped the situation, but some people
seem to have lost sight of the fact that
the farmer is not the only man who
owes money. At all events, he is the
only man who has been put in the lime
light as the man everybody had a right
to look to in the emergency that has
developed. To pay what is possible is a
duty that rests on one man us much as
another—on all of us.
Keep It Handy For Rheumatism.
No use to squirm and wince and try
to wear out your rheumatism. It will
wear you out instead. Apply some
Sloan's Liniment. Need not rub it in-
just let it penetrate all through the af
fected parts, relieve the soreness and
draw the pain. You get ease at once
and feel so much better you want to go
right out and tell other sufferers about
Sloan’s.' Get a bottle of Sloan’s Lini
ment for 25c of any druggist and have
it in the house—against colds, sore and
swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and
like ailments. Your money buck if not
satisfied, but it does give almost
instHnt relief. Buy a bottle to-day.
Warning Against Alfalfa.
Hamilton Journal.
if you don’t want lots of trouble
don't sow alfalfa. Along about the
middle of June, when eorn needs culti
vating the most, we had to stop and
cut the darned alfalfa. It was in bloom
und three feet I igh. We had to haul in
twenty loads of hay off of it.
Early in July the folks in town invi
ted us to spend a week and attend the
chautauqua. Suppose they were glad
when they received my post-card an
nouncing that we could not come, be
cause we had to cut that blamed alfalfa
patch again. Gee! hut it was hot haul
ing in that hay!
Worse still, l was such a fool as to
sow five bushels more of alfalfa seed.
The only rest we’ll get hereafter from
hauling alfalfa will be on Sundays and
rainy days.
It rained in September, and the first

The Pious Boarder.
National Monthly.
It was one of those cheaper hoarding
houses on the north side in Chicago and
the hoarders soon noticed that the new
est hoarder had a very regular habit.
At each meal, as he came in, he
would stand behind his chair for a mo
ment, look down at the table and say,
"The Book of Hebrews, thirteenth
chapter, eighth verse.’’ Then he would
proceed to do justice to the meal.
This continued for several weeks,
during which time the newest hoarder
continued the habit, the other boarders
remarking sotto voice what a deeply
religious young man he was.
Then, line day, a boarder happened
to note the young man always said the
Book of Hebrews,

Money spent for the old style, ready

only 2 to 2J ounces is very largely
wasted, because most of them are com

Yet you have to pay the same price as
if it was all medicine. Stop wasting

cough medicine at home at one-fifth
the cost. Merely go to John R. Cates
Drug Co.'s and ask for 2 ounces (50c.

of boiling water, which makes a full
