' ‘ ACT AND GOSSIP IN MANY MARTS I Every One Must Jump When His Own Particular Bell Rings. ■ By B. C. FORBES. NEW YORK. June 24. Do you ever F » *®el iliat if only you were In some one -Ise’s shoes you could do as you liked. ' that you would have to submit to no 1 bossing, that you would be entirely “free?” Have you ever envied the mil lionaires. whom you supposed to be mas ters of all they surveyed? Or. to put it differently, did you not when a child fancy that all power resided in your parents. that they were supreme, un trammeled, absolutely free-will agents? And then did not the teacher also become an autocrat, a being to be envied? Later It was learned that these had to submit ’n certain restraints, but there were the rich who beyond question had to bow the neck to nobody. And are there not some among us who still imagine that there are thousands of the financially elect who have no masters? The truth is that no one but a cipher least of all the big people -can boast of immunity from overlordship of some form, We are all, from the least to the greatest, servants. Not one of us is a master ungoverned, unchecked, answer able to nobody. • ♦ • Long ago I preserved a newspaper cut ting with the caption, “The Endless Chain f<f Authority.” I have repeatedly meant to write on the subject, for if employees could only realize . that their employers * are no more free perhaps much less so— than themselves they would harbor fewer feelings of resentment, of dissatisfaction over, the sceme of things and of un charitableness toward those “higher up.” Then yesterday I read an article which expressed the right sentiment so forceful ly that I could not refrain f»om discuss ing it. Here is the pointed extract: There is one thing that servants do not seem to appreciate, namely, that while they must jump at, the ring of the bell, all of us must jump it o the rings of our bells. We all have some others pressing the hutton for us. no matter how comfortable and luxurious our environment may seem. That statement comes from whom, think you? From the acknowledged leader of New York’s fashionable society, from the head of the Four Hundred, from Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish. Fancy a lady oc cupying such station frankly admitting that she must jump at the ring of the bell, just as the humblest of her maids must do! How many house servants, bow many shop girls, how many tele phone operators, how many married women in poorer circumstances ever con reived that even the greatest of society / headers had io jump at the ring of a bell? Yet if is eternally true. And not k ~ one whit more true of plutocratic ladies ,k . than e ’l” aJ, y plutocratic men. | The bell of* public opinipn is today mak r * Legal Notices.

PJ-W**' ATLANTA RISK FIRM TO INCREASE CAPITAL STOCK TO $1,000,000.00 Officials of the Empire Life Insurance Company are preparing for an increase of three-quarters of a million dollars in their capital stock. • Application for per mission to increase the amount from $250.- 000 to $1,000,000 will be made to the state officials within the next few days. The addition to the capital was author ized by a meeting of the stockholders of the company late Saturday- afternoon, when over three-fourths of the outstand ing stock was represented at a meeting held in the company's offices in Atlanta. At the session a new hoard of directors was als»» elected, to serve one year. The Atlanta members are: W. \V. Reid, presi dent: S. C. Callaway, vice president: J'. M. Callaway, secretary; F. A.

Melkleham, resident manager of Mas sachusetts mills in Georgia and chair man of the Eloyd county Democratic executive committee, would abolish the county- board of commissioners and vest all the powers and rights of this body with the ordinary. Mr. Meikleham has served notice that he will nave a meas ure introduced in the legislature to bring this about. hilt class jump. Nor are the strongest of our corporations immune. The rail roads have had to jump pretty lively, and certain gigantic industrial combina tions are also being put through their nates. • * ♦ You are as much J. P. Morgan’s boss as he is yours. "Tn theory only," you may reply. Well, it is your own fault if you are not so in practice also, for you are responsible for law-making and no capitalist can defy a law which the mass of the people insist upon being obeyed. If through your laziness, your indifference, your neglect of civic duties matters have gone awry, then <l<> not seek to transfer the blame to another's shoulders Happily, ine people are coming to realize their rights. Bui let them not. forget their responsibilities. And -this is the point I would seek to emphasize—do not act on the assump tion that the capitalists, the directors and presidents of railroads, the man agers of industrial corporations live in a world different from your own. that they have no bells to bother them, that for them life is one long, sweet song. More, if they do not answer the bell satis factorily they can not hold their jobs. If they do not faithfully SERVE lhe public, the,'* are elbowed aside sooner or later. In these latter days it Is sooner rather than later. » ♦ ♦ Millions filched illicitly from the public do not yield satisfying dividends. If the bell rung by conscience be not answered, no walls of gold are thick enough to keep out the sound. So that those who “get away with it" need not be envied by the rest of us who are servants. • • • Some who are given to growling and whining, to foolishly thinking the man higher up has no boss, may find com fort in this description, by a railroad president, of the endless chain of author ity: “When I was a brakeman I thought (bat when I got to be conductor I cer tainly would have something to say. But when I became a conductor I discovered that the trainmaster had the say. So. I aspired to he a trainmaster. In that position I found the superintendent block ing my self-assumed authority. As a superintendent, 1 was answerable to (he general manager By the time I arrived at the latter position I surely believed that my sway would only be limited by my desire, but there was the president as my supreme boss. In good time I be came the head of the road, and then it was the board of directors that passed upon my actions About the only thing left was to become a director. Now 1 am on the board of several corporations and the powers still higher up often play the Hines to which directors fiance." « ♦ ♦ Have you forgotten what happened when Hie Lord, moved by ceaseless com plaining. summoned all the people and told them to throw their troubles on one heap? Each one was then told to pick out the lightest be could find. And. to the last man. every one selected his own! THE ATLANTA G COTTON MARKET SHOWS DECLINE Good Weather. Lower Cables, and Selling Pressure Com bine to Pud Prices Down. NEW YORK. June 24.—Disappointing Liverpool cables and liberal selling, oc casioned by the weather map, affected our market on the opening with a tiecline of 3 to 9 points. Liverpool cables market declined in consequence of favorable weather and selling orders from the con tinent. During the first half-hour the market developed a/firm tone on the report Is sued by Cordill. who is out with report on piwt of Georgia, noi so good as ex pected. After the vail, scattering covering and buying tor the New Orleans accounts brought about a rally, carrying prices 1 (o 6 points above the opening. This rally only lasted a few minutes and the mar ket became weak, due to the favorable weather condition over the belt, and the government predicting another week of good weather, and the market shown a backward trend with prices sagging back to the opening. The bears anticipate still lower prices before the close. The buy ing power was moderate and scattered. Spot houses shown good demand for spots, however, there was very little for sale, the belief is that spots have almost petered out. At the close the market was steady with prices unchanged to 5 points lower than the Saturday’s close. Warehouse stocks in New York today, 135,378: certificated, 115,924.

HAYWARD 4 CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. June 24. Weather conditions over Sunday were favorable Dry, warm weather prevailed in the east ern states, while light to moderate scat tered showers covered central and west ern states. The dreaded heat wave did not materialize, on the contrary, Wash ington predicts another weak of favorable weather: generally fah with norma) tem peratures. Liverpool was about 5 points lower than due. but promptly followed the rally In New York. Spots 3 points lower. An old farmer and glnner, over 80 years in the same locality.‘writes from a point in south Texas: "Crop immense; best of my rec ollection. Already many half-grown bolls and blooming all over, while growing continually. Already 2 to 3 feet high. No insects at all. Not a weevil can be found. An English buyer who left for Liverpool Saturday offered 50 cents for a weevil during the whole week without getting any even after raising his limit to sl. Think of over five-million for Texas assured. Plenty of old cotton in our com presses yet, which people now think of selling.” A farmer writes from Arkansas that a six-hundred-acre place which, on April 17 was overflowed, now has a good crop. The market opened easier, but was soon strongly supported and rallied. The fact that the least apparently unfavorable crop report even if unimportant, is being given preference over the volume of good reports and facts, shows bullish indica tions prevailing.

Longview, l.amaster; scattered light rains east. Oklahoma, •Tear to partly cloudy and cool." The Memphis Commercial-Appeal says: Rains over the western part of the cotton belt and clear open weather in the East J made the past week a good one on the cotton crop. Progress was made, general I ly speaking, both in plant growth and cul- ! tivatfon. although, in plant, growth, some- 1 what retarded, (he former by unseasona bly low temperatures and the latter by rains. In the west, where most of the rains of the week fell, lhe soil was al ready at a high state of cultivation and the fields were clean. In that part of the belt the week was unusually favora ble, as the moisture the crop received was just the one thing that is needed. All over Oklahoma. Texas and Arkansas, heavy rain fell, and good general rain fen in Arkansas. Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. In all these states, cultiva tion is well advanced. In the east progress was made, due to open weather, although temperatures were too cool for the best results of the plant. Following are 11 a. in. bills: July 11.14. October 11.45.

STATE EXPERTSAYS COTTON CROP WILL BE SHORT THIS YEAR E. Lee Worsham, state entomologist, who has just completed a trip over the state, is not impressed with Georgia's prospects for a good, big cotton < > p. Mr. Worsham took a decidedly pes simistic view of cotton conditions in general today, asserting that If the August, influx of the cotton caterpillar proves as damaging as usual. Georgia will be lucky to get away in the fall with a 65 per cent crop The recent Intrusion of the army worm, however. Mr. Worsham said, nad been checked to a large extent. A. C. I.ewia, assistant entomologist, who has been In the field since the army worm appeared in south Georgia, reports the situation well in hand at Tifton. Bax ley, Hazlehurst. Pelham and Thomas ville. P.

He points out that Mr. ('onen’s re port finds that instead of Byrd owing the state, the state owiv Byrd $69.98. the difference between underchargt-it and overcharges. Mr. Cohen also finds that Byrd couldn't use "small plea" as specified by law. because there Is none of that type now In existence. Ko Mt. Byrd was perfectly justified.
