F IE [ I Dixie’s Merchants Take Important Step in Convention—Geor gia Man President. Convinced of the value of their an nual gatherings, the merchants in convention at the Auditorium Friday morning organized a permanent body, the Southern States Merchants’ Asso ciation, which will perpeuate these meetings and “co-operate in all ways calculated to advance the interests of its members.” J. W. Vaughn, of Cartersville, Ga., is to be president of the association, at least until the next convention in February, 1914. Other officers are: Vice presidents, R. O. Crouch, of Grif fin, Ga,, and T. E. Smith, of Greer, S. C.; secretary-treasurer, H. T. Moore. Resolutions binding delegates to re fuse credit to farmers who will not diversify’ their crops was not adopted. In modified form, simply indorsing diversification, the resolutions were passed. Stock Raising Indorsed. The convention further indorsed the raising of live stock and the improve ment of the lower Missippi River. The bills fathered by the Georgia Re tailers also were approved. There will be one more session ol the convention Saturday. Entertain ment features, however, continue an other week. "The farmer’s not has proven so good in 100 country banks and 1,000,- 000 transactions that we are almost ready to say that we have lost more money’ on the obligations of the United States in the recent decline of its bonds than we have lost in deal ing with the farmer,” said W. S. Witham, resenting the "prevalent condescending and patronizing” atti tude toward the farmer. Mr. Witham explained and praised the farm loan banks of Europe. Jones on Store Discipline. Boling H. Jones, chairman, took the subject of store discipline and management. His suggestions were eminently practical. For eight years he ran a chain of six retail stores, and ■’from this experience cited seevral lessons in storekeeping. Failure of clerks to charge goods sold, through lack of system, he be lieves is responsible for a 3 per cent leakage in many stores. A test con vinced him of this, he sa^d. Mr. Jones preached strongly against price cutting. The remedy is close buying, and manufacturers wouid prefer small and frequent orders, he said. “Give your clehks responsribilitv. Let them do their own buying, and they’ll work harder to do the selling, Back up your clerks. Never quote a lower price than you allow them to make,” he concluded. Complete Bookkeeping Urged. “You need ne expert to supervise your accounts,” said C. E. Pollard, of the American Audit Company. “What you need are records so complete and so simple that they speak for themselves. I plead for complete books, to show costs of every kind in detail. * Very seldom, indeed, can too many details be shown. Uusually, too few details are shown.” L. C. Upshaw, of Douglasville. Ga., talked on credits and collections. At the start he made many amusing oharacterizations of various “poor pay” types—“movers,” “scientific” cranks of no real judgment, and “pony sawmill” men. Of the sawmill men, he said: “Here is a safe rule. If a pony sawmill man owns one outfit, sell him cash. If he aowns two outfits—don’t se.i him at all.” Fire Insurance Needed. H. E. Choate reminded the delegates that the United States pays $690,000 daily to the “demon fire’’—about $2.50 per capita per year. “No merchant can be without fire insurance,” he said. “We hear deal ers say rates are too high. Rates are high because hazard iss great, which is the best reason for insurance. We call many men unfortunate when they really are improvident.” He concluded with a plea for fire prevention. C. W. McClure urged the value of organization, and advised delegates to form associations in every small town to watch credits and study mer chandising. He suggested farmers’ conventions on the lines of the retailers’ conven tion. Why is the soda cracker today such a universal food? People ate soda crackers in the old days, it is true—but they bought them from a barrel or box and took them home in a paper bag, their crispness and flavor all gone. Uneeda Biscuit—sola crackers better than any ever made before —made in the greatest bakeries in the world—baked to perfection —packed to perfection—kept to perfection until you take them, oven-fresh and crisp, from their protecting package.

Pratt extended a hand filled with gold certificates. "I’m George Pratt,” he said. “Here’s $1,500. Stick it in your jeans. I struck it rich in the Klondike.

Herod’s heartlessness— His cruel indifference had killed them. The children had displeased Herod— But the hog—he was alive. When Herod died his hog and gold went not with his soul. To-day the heart of Georgia stirs— Not with the lust and greed which brought shameful fame to Herod of old— But with the pity— The tenderness— The love which nineteen hundred years ago began to flow from Christ crucified, our Lord. You will not return to our great Mother, the State, and say: "Behold, this we have done for our fields, our cows and hogs— "For our girls and boys— "We had neither the time to consider, "Nor the funds to provide.” For to-day Georgia holds flesh and blood as of greater value than swine and kine— To-day the tears and suffering of one little girl whose life and honor might have been saved had you made the provision—these are worth more to your State than all the money, about which we chatter and talk forgetting that liVes are being lost. And you are Georgia. Your heart is hers— Her heart is yours, as is her power. And you will not neglect— You will take the time. You will never whine: "WE HAVE NO MONEY FOR THESE.” When you are spending money on cows and hogs. You will provide. THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE MEN AND RELIGION FORWARD MOVEMENT
