Atlanta, Ga., April 24—(Spe

of the Georgia Division, Southern
Cotton Association, addresses a
Mr. Colley was born in Wilkes! communication to the farmers of
county, Feb. 13. 1825, more than Georgia today in which he urges
81 years ago. He was deprived of upon them the importance of put-
a father’s tenderness and care, as ting themselves in a position where
his father, James Colley,died when ; they can “bull" the cotton crop of
he was only 4 years of age. Nov. I their own motion when the neces-
18th, i860, he was married to Miss
Maria June Garrett, of Newton
county, who departed this life
July 29, 1885. One child was born
to them—James W. Colley—who
died Sept. 28, 1902.
Mr. Colley was a Confederate
veteran; enlisting in 1863 under
Capt. Burris, of Columbus, in the
5th Georgia regiment; he served
to close of the war. vVas in fierce
battles at Tannis Ferry, Lookout
Mountain and Missionary Ridge;
was captured in 1864 at Pocotalago,
near Charleston. After the sur
render he marched home with
thousands of others in defeat and
not in victory, in sorrow and not
in joy; bought land in Coweta
county and stepped from the
trenches of the battlefield into the
furrows of the harvest field, where
by his diligence and prudence he
amassed a fortune.
For him the last trumpet has
sounded. He will answer no more
sity for it arises. Here is what
President Johnson says:
“To the farmers of Georgia: Let
me urge upon you the importance
of putting yourselves in a position
where you can “bull” the cotton
crop whenever the necessity for it
may arise. The most advantage
ous time for |this is between Sep
tember 1 and January I, when the
new crop is coming from the fields.
That is the time to get the best
prices for your crop. It is then
that the mills are shortest of sup
plies and their needs are most
pressing. It is then that the farm
er should be in a position where he
cannot be forced to sell, and where
he will not sell until the price fixed
has been reached.
“To put himself in this inde
pendent position the farmer must
be practically free of debt. Debt
is the curse of the farmer, of his
family, of his country. Incur no
debt, or it you must borrow or buy
„ ,, u • „ on credit, be sure you make no
roll-calls on earth. Being a good I 7
.... . , „£„ ■ 1 j. debt which you cannot meet with-
soldier he was not afraid to die.
His death was the result of heart
disease following an attack of la
grippe.
Being left an orphan at an early
age, his heart was moved with
sympathy lor others so afflicted,
and many orphan children were
indebted to him and his wife for a
home and education. In 1902 the
relentless hand of death carried
away bis only son, James W. Col
ley, with whom he resided. Wince
that lime he had made his home
with his daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Colley Leigh, where his gentle
voice and thoughtfulness of others
made him greatly beloved. To the
home circle and friends his death
brings inestimable loss. His de
clining years were made brighter
and purer by the deep devotion of
his eldest grandson, Charlie Stew
art Coliey, who, in the sadness of
his heart, will 'long “for the touch
of a vanished hand and the sound
of a voice that is still;" but the
I ord knows best. Your grand
father has gone to the land where
there is no pain or sorrow. He
was one of Coweta’s oldest and
best citizens; esteemed by all who
knew him; quiet and unassuming
indisposition. He leaves an estate
valued at $85,000, to his three
grandsons. Charlie Stewart, Thos.
Nelson and James William Colley.
The funeral services were con
ducted Tuesday afternoon at 3
o’clock by Rev. V. A. Ham, as
sisted by Rev. A. H. S. Bugg at
the residence of Mrs.Colley Leigh,
after which his remains were car
ried to the country and
out selling your cotton to do it. If
you do you are sure to sacrifice
your own independence. A peo
ple with only one money crop
must steer clear of debt. The
creditor always, of course, makes
the debt due when the crop is
ready for market, and therein he
has the advantage by which he is
able largely to control the price of
the product, an advantage which
the farmer should and could have
if he would only insure his own in
dependence by making no debt
which he is compelled to pay in
cotton.
“If you will heed this advice and
secure your own independence,you
will be able to control the price of
cotton next season. Let the coun
ty organizations suggest what they
think is a fair price for the prod
uct, and through their delegates
let each state association say what
the staple should bring. Then let
these state organizations tell the
Southern Cotton Association what
should be the price of the crop,and
when that price is fixed let us all
stand shoulder to shoulder and see
that it is paid. You can do this if
you are in a position to hold and
control the cotton that you make.
Ultimate success depends at least
upon the combined efforts of in
dividuals. Let’s all work together
for that success.

“When menimdeu or herring are
driven upon the beach by hlucflsii, as
they often nre, so that they enn be
carried off by the cart load." said a
fisherman, "there Is very seldom found
among them one of their pursuers, and
If one Is found It Is likely to he a tlsli
that Is diseased or that has been hurt
In some way. The bluetish follows to
the very verge of the water, but there
It stops, ninl It Is so powerful Hiid
alert a swimmer that, close ns It Is, It
still easily keeps clear of the land.
The menhaden or herring nre no menu
swimmers. They could come ns close
and keep off the shore as easily ns the
bluellsh do, hut not when the bluetish
nre after them. Then they are like
men pursued to the edge of a preci
pice. It Is almost certain death to
jump, hut they must do that or turn
and take the chances of breaking
through the pursuing line.
“When the bluetish—there may he
3,000 or 4,000 of them together—sight
a school of menhaden, they go for It
like 11 brigade of heavy cavalry, cut
ting and slashing, snapping and lilting
right nml left. The menhaden are sim
ply overborne by superior weight, and
there Is nothing for them to do but
llee. If they are driven toward the
shore, the land Is to them wlml the
precipice would he to the man. They
must take it or they must turn and try
to light their way through. Many do
turn and try to swim under or over
or around the savage bluellsh, ami
some escape In this way. and some are
snapped up. and some are maimed and
then east ashore, and many of them,
crowding together, are so closely press-
oil that they are practically forced
ashore.

The four old cuptnlna of Halt Marsh
after carefully studying the attractions
offered by the mind reader who was to
hold forth In the town halt decided lo
attend the entertainment.
“Wo cun go right from the post office
when mall’s In," said Captain Gregg,
most adventurous of the four, "and
there doesn’t seem to he any need to
consult our women folks, so far as I
know. Most likely we shan’t stay
more'n a few minutes.”
They were all agreed as to the ad
visability of this plan, and the next
evening saw them seated ill the last
row, with Interest written on their
faces.
After a few preliminary exhibitions,
which caused the scattered audience to
i gasp and wriggle, the mind reader said
I in a solemn tone:
"There is one person In this audience I
who has been thinking ever since ho

haps the strongest Influence In Ids life

At this point the four old captains
rose as If moved by a single spring and
tiled from the hall. When they reached
the safely of the steps Captain Gregg
turned to the others and spoke In a
hoarse whisper:
"Which one of us do you suppose he
meant?”—Youth’s Companion.

The Sultan’* Official*.
The Iuwh of the Turkish empire are
based on the precepts of the Koran,
and the sultan’s will Is absolute when
not In opposition to accepted truths of
the Mohammed religion us luhl down
in the sacred book of tho prophet. The
legislative and executive authority Is
exercised under the sultan’s direction
by two high dignitaries—a grand vizier,
who Is head of the temporal govern
ment, and the Sheik ul Islam, head of
the church. Both of these officials are
appointed by the sultan, the latter with
the nominal assent of the ulema, a
body comprising the clergy and chief
representatives of the law. The prin
cipal civil functionaries bear the title
of effendi, bey or pasha. After the sul
tan the most influential person Is trie
bead eunuch of the Imperial harem,
who has the rank of marshal of the
palace and stands above the law.
So powerful is this personage that he
if offended, box the ears of any
rant minister who ventures to
his authority.
The Most Singular Chain of Marino
Accident* on Record.
The most singular series of ship
wrecks on record began with the loss
of the English merchantman Mermaid,
which was driven 011 tho rocks of Tor
res strait tu October, 1821). 'Hie officers
and crew clung to tho shattered vessel,
which was held fast upon a sunken
ledge, until, a few minutes before tho
doomed ship went to pluces, a passing
frigate picked them up.
The Hwlftsuro, as the latter craft
was called, resumed her northward
course, to he foundered In a terrific
gale three duys later.
Her combined crews were saved by
the wurshlp Governor Ready, en voy
age to Iudin, Muy 18, 1830. The last
named, overtaken by n storm, was
stranded on u barren count, her throe
crews to it man succeeding in reach
ing the shore.
After Htuylng a week on tho Inhos
pitable Island thuy were taken off by
the revenuo cutter Comet, which u few
days later sprang a leak mid sank In
spite of ull efforts to save her.
Fortunately 11 rescue ship whs again
on hand, tho four crows being saved
by the Jupiter.
Even then, however, tho chain of dis
asters was not broken, for the Jupiter
Just ns she was entering tho harbor of
I’ort Itnlllc turned turtle and went
down with scarcely 11 moment’s warn
ing. Her crews barely escaped with
their lives, to he picked up by boat
sent to their aid.
Thus the crew of the Mermaid was
wrecked five times in one voyage, that
of the Wwiflsuro four times, of the
Governor Ready three times and the
Comet twice.
The rescues had been purely acclden
tal in every case, none of the ships
having been sailing as a consort or
even to the same port..
Though the weather had been tem
pestuous and the escapes Imrely made,
uol. a life hud been lost.
