Biggest Money Crop in Years Believed To Bej

mules, in past years he has done this, hut this year he will not.
Georgia this year produced the largest corn crop in its history.
The hay and oat crops also were good. It would be ruinous to
spend the proceeds even from 14-eent cotton for 77-cent corn. For
tunately, in 1913 Georgia will not.
There is some difference of opinion just now as to the proba
ble size of the crop In this State.
* rentlemen otherwise calm and serene
are wont to gTow purplish of fare
and thump desks when the subject Is
argued.
J. D. Price, Commissioner of Agri-
ulture for the State, says Georgia
will gin 2,000,000 bales of cotton. He
believes dry weatjier has lopped
400,000 to 500,000 bales from the early
prospect.
A. P. Coles, who has made the es
timate for the Central Bank and Trust
Corporation for seven years and
missed it not more than 50,000 bales
In the seven, puts the crop at 2.600,-
O00 hales. A favorite estimate 1h 2,-
500,000 bales. Other figures stand in
order between these two extremes.
GREAT PROFIT ASSURED.
Just to stay out of the argument,
2,250.000 bales has been selected as
the basis for computations given hero.
It does not affect the argument. If
the crop is 2,000,000 bales, Georgia
still will make an enormous profit.
If Georgia’s crop Is 2.600,00 bales
ail the better.
As to 14-cent cotton—it is not
an impossibility, but a probability.
Thirteen cents now is being paid at
Savannah for middling That part of
the crop which has been ginned is
being sold freely. Although little has
been said about it, there undoubtedly
Is a good deal of ‘‘distress cotton” on
the market cotton sold to pay debts
which are pressing. With continued
reports of bail weather In the West,
or anything like an early frost, and
consequent shortened yield, the mar- I
ket may jump again.
And there Is little cotton left for
the mills of the world to use. The
visible supply at the end of the cot
ton year, August 30, was In round
figures only 2,000,000 bales. The crop
has been estimated at 12,900,000 bales.
That leaves 14,900,000 bales for the
world to use, and the mills of Eu
rope, Japan, India, China and the
United States want 16,000,000 bales
yearly now, the best authorities
agree.
It looks like a ‘‘hull” year.
Georgia has been through the test
of fire The year has been an ordeal
But harvest time finds sagacious
business men in jubilant mood.
Cheerfulness amounting almost to
exultation Is the keynote of senti
ment to-day among the shrewdest
Expressions of the city’s recognized
leaders are unanimous In their fore
cast of prosperity.
Georgia Is To Be Envied, Declares Governor Slaton
G
BOIO i 1A is to he envied. The season now opening will bring
to this most favored State the blessings of plenty and pros
perity dispensed with lavish hand. Every circumstance is in
collusion to make this a record year.
. (ieurgia this year will make a reasonable cotton clop. The
other States will have short yields. (Jeorgia’s, then, will be big
in relation to the total, and every Georgian should get good
prices for his cotton.
But that is not all. The best part of it is that not all the mil
lions which come into the State for cotton will go out this year
for hay, corn and oats. Georgia this year raised what seems con
ceded to be the largest corn crop in its history. It has hay and
oats in large quantities as well, while the nation’s yields of all
these feed stuffs is short, because of drouth.
Georgia has every climate from the cold winters of North
Georgia, which serve to perfect the apples ol Habersham ( ounty,
to the almost tropical mildness of the coast, where you can see
rice tie Ids. Between are corn and cotton, oats and hay, peaches
and melons, sugar cane, yams and potatoes. Me depend, not on
ditches which may go dry, but upon the kindly rains from the
Almighty, and are not disappointed. And in this wonderful

Country Banker Expects
Moderate Crop, Big Prices
'By F. S. JACOBS
T HERE was a time when kissing in the good old-fashioned way
Was altogether ruled by what the lady had to say;
If she said “Yes,” the couple didn’t ask for better right.
Hut fell into a close embrace and smacked with all their might.
Hut times, it seems, are changing; loving couples when enclinched
Are apt to be disturbed thus wise: “Hey, stop it; you are pinched.”
40 CITIES WILL ’GHOSTLt LIGHT
FI
Looks for Huge Crop,
Easily 2,600,000 Bales
It is interesting to know what the
country banker thinks of all this. P.
D. Rich, of Colquitt, was in Atlanta
the past week.
The country banker, as typified by
Mr. Rich, does not believe Georgia is
going to make such a wonderful crop.
He doesn’t think it will go to 2,500,-
000 bales. He does think prices for
cotton will he high and that Georgia,
with two million, or, nay, two million
and a quarter bales, will get more
money than it has in some years for
huge crops.
The country banker finds himself
able to get all the money ho needs in
New York and Atlanta at a rate
which is not excessive.
He believes that the remarkable
ginners’ report of September 1 does
not spell a great crop so much as it
does an early movement.
A. P. Coles, of tho Central Bank |
and Trust Corporation, is convinced
here will he a huge crop in Georgia,
and he never before has missed it
lar. He writes to the country banks:
"We have made careful inquiry and
onslderable personal inspection of
ihe crops of Georgia. Information
t ompiled from reliable sources leads
us to believe that we are on the eve
of harvesting a bunjper crop in Geor
gia, not only of cotton, but of corn.
We believe that with an open fall and
a reasonably late frost the cotton crop
in Georgia will easily reach 2.600,000
bales and that the corn crop is prob
ably by far the best that has ever
been produced in this State, nil of
which means prosperity in Georgia,
at least temporarily.
“There is no reason why a suffi
cient amount of funds can not be ob
tained to move the cotton crop, pro
vided the bankers, farmers and mer
chants work in harmony. Country
bankers, especially those located in
the cotton districts, should endeavor
to educate the farmers to the habit
of depositing checks received for the
sale of cotton and paying their debts
by check. This would go a long way
toward relieving the currency strin
gency during the cotton-moving pe
riod.
“Wo confidently expect a prosper
ous fall and good business.”
Crushers Foresee Busy
Season in Southeast
City Banker’s Views
Give Cheerful Analysis
“I see no reason,” says Robert F.
Maddox, vice president of tho Amer
ican National Bank, “why 1914 should
not find the whole United States en
tering upon a period of unsurpassed
prosperity.
“Now, Just take stock of the year
lust closing Notwithstanding the
fact that the cotton crop for 1912 was
1,000,000 bales short of the 1911 crop,
there have been no failures of im
portance among banks or business
houses. The failures were few and. in
Georgia, of comparatively little im
portance. That shows the banks and
mercantile houses were In good shape
financially and could take care of
their customers who have gone
through a period of depression which
was more or less world-wide.
“The fall season opens with every
assurance of a cotton crop 500.000
bales larger than last year and raised
at less expense than any previous
crop ever grown; better and more
scientifically cultivated. From every
point of view this augurs a splendid
trade for fall.
“If the crop experiences no backset,
-ve can reasonably expect excellent
fall collections. The farmers will be
able to pay their obligations to the
country merchant. He will bo able
to pay the wholesalers in*the cit
ies, and the wholesalers in turn will
reduce their indebtedness to tho city
banks.
“This Is euro to make money easier
after the crop moves, and all lines of
business are bound to feel tho good
effect of the splendid period of pros
perity now so promising.
"I believe tho further consideration
by the Senate of the currency bill and
the expressed desire of the Senate
committee to get all the facts con
nected with the proposed legislation
is certain to lead to the passage of a
wise and conservatively planned
meo sure.
“If this is true, and such a bill is
passed, it will eliminate for all time
the danger to the country which
arif»es every fall from the fear of
having insufficient currency to move
the crops. This will, therefore, be of
special benefit to the South and the
West, and I see no reason why 1914
should not find the whole United
States entering upon a period of un
surpassed prosperity.”
Cotton weed crushers are prepar
ing for one of the greatest years in
their history in Georgia. They ex
pect a crop of 2,500,000 bales, and ex
pect to crush, in round figures, 900,-
000 tons of seed, or Just about the
same amount as was crushed in 1911,
when the banner crop was grown.
I-*. G. Neal, vice president of the
Empire Cotton Oil Company, one of
the largest corporations in the Geor
gia cotton seed trade. Hays the Em
pire's mills in South Georgia, number
ing seven, have been operating about
ten days.
“Seed now is bringing about $20 a
ton,” said Mr. Neal, “and is yielding
about 39 gallons of good quality oil to
the ton. With the exception of the
fact that there is considerable mois
ture In the seed, there are no unto
ward factors to be considered this
year. Wo look for an excellent sea
son.

Wholesalers Are Busy
Replenishing Retail Stocks
Willis E. Ragan, one of the city’s
prominent wholesalers and holder of
extensive real estate, believes tho
South is entering upon one of the
most prosperous eras it has known
for years.
“We have a splendid ‘house trade,”’
said Mr. Hagan. “Buyers both from
the city and country are thronging
into the wholesale houses to Replen
ish stocks with the advent of fall re
tail buying.
"It seems to me the South Is en
tering upon one of the most pros
perous eras In its hialoiy. The cot
ton crop looks fine, and the price
does, too. All indications are that
the farmers are selling ns quickly as
possible and paying their debts. Ev
eryone is feeling good and looking
forward to the best business in many
years. The outlook is excellent.”
"Business is good. It has increased
greatly this season, and shows every
promise of growing even more,” says
Ernest L. Rhodes, wholesale milliner.
“The Atlanta houses in our line
have had a remarkable volume of
sales. How much of tins is due to
general business conditions and how
much to the energy and enterprise of
Atlanta jobbers, continually invad
ing new territory, territory which al
ways has been conceded heretofore to
other cities, I can not tell without
close analysis of sales records. But
in all probability, the greater business
is due to both factors.
“At any rate, sales are larger.
That’s the main thing, after all.
“If the farmers, the retailers and
the merchants who sell to them will
now only take advantage of theb
prosperity to liquidate their obliga
tions, then we shall have ideal condi
tions. And I believe this will be
done.”

West Point Schools ! Immortals to Hear
Break Roll Record Lecture on ‘Tango’
‘Flush ' Year Is Time
To Learn Economy
Whitehall Street Filled
With Autumn Shoppers
Frank Hawkins, president of the
Third National Bank, is not given to
hyperbole. Yet he waxes enthusi
astic when drawn Into conversation
about the crop outlook and the busi
ness prospects for Georgia thin* sea
son.
“There is a general cheerful feei
ng,” he explains. "Some of the coun
try merchants and the city whole
salers report the best business they
!iu\e had for several seasons, and, of
ourae, they expect to do even hotter
•vhen the cotton crop moves.
‘Outstanding obligations sonic of
them, to tell the exact truth, older
than they should be- will be wiped
out by the present crop and settle
ments passing from hand to hand up
the line should make money easier all
ground.
But this Is tiie time when I would
preach thrift. It is something of an
absurdity to preach thrift to a man
who is ‘broke.’ But now that the
Georgia farmer and the Georgia mer
chant have money in their pockets,
or at lean have money in sight, they
should practice thrift. They should
fortify themselves for the possible
lean years. I hope there will be no
lean years, but history teaches us to
believe there will be.
“Remember recent history. That is
all 1 would ask. Remember the ban
ner crop of ]9H, the extravagances
which followed, and then the short
crop of 1912, and what befell. If only
the farmer will keep his money from
burning a hole in his pocket, this sea
son will result in permanent good for
Georgia.”
Along Whitehall street, the center
of city retail trade, tho sentiment lias
been brighter throughout the year
than in some other localities. City
retail trade has held up unexpectedly
well. Atlanta lias not felt the de
pression reported from smaller cen
ters. But the advent of fall weather,
or perhaps just a foretaste of it, has
put life into business in a way which
has surprised even these merchants.
"We are reordering certain lines
already. That, to any one acquaint
ed with the retail business, is the
most emphatic presentation l ('an
make of business conditions in White
hall street.” said W. H. Brittain,
president and manager of High’s.
“Our September business to date is
much larger than it was at this time
bust year. People are eager for new
things. Mail orders have started
coming in rapidly. It is a regular
revival of trade.
“Shoppers are numerous. It is not
a question of going out after them.
They are coming to the stores. Peo
ple are anxious for the new things,
for the better class of merchandise.
Stocks have been low. Every one
lias bought sparingly since the first
of the year, and the result now is an
active movement all along the lint*."
Must a little more cool weather,
such as we have had a few’ days this
past week." said J. P. Allen, “and
fall business will surprise every one.
People are anxious to buy. The
stores are crowded. The salespeople
are busy. The retailers have every
cause to congratulate .themselves.”

ASHEVILLE, Sept. 13.—Ghostly in
appearance, a strange light, seen al
most nightly, Is gaining materially in
brilliancy and has so greatly excited
the people of Burke County, in the
mountains of Western North Caro
lina, that an official request has beer
made at Washington for an invest:
gation by an expert.
R. T. Claywell first saw the strangt
light about a month ago when he and
a party of friends were spending the
night at Cold Water.
“There is something uncanny about
that light. The folks up in that neigh
borhood can not fathom it, and we
want a Government scientist sent to
solve the mysterious glow,” said
Mr. Claywell.
Arose From Mountain.
“The night I first saw the strange
light I was out in the onen on Rat
tlesnake Knob, it was exactly 10:05
o’clock. I remember that well. What
first attracted our attention were two
hazy lights across the valley on
Brown Mountain.
“We* watched it with wonder and
awe. In a few minutes we saw u
brighter light appear at the foot of
Brown Mountain, where Upper Creel,
cuts it at Joy. The light appeared to
be swinging, pendulum-like, and then
went upward a distance of about 200
feet.
“When it first appeared the light
seemed to be round and yellow. It
gained steadily in brightness, becom
ing red as it went upward. When it
reached its greatest height it appeal
ed to be like a ball of fire.
Did Not Shed a Ray.
“But the strange thing about it was
that the freak of nature did not cast
off one ray of light. The space around
it was as dark as ever. All this add
ed to its ghostly appearance.
“It was across the valley from us
at a distance of about twelve miles
It had rained that day and there wen
a few clouds still hanging about.
When the strange light reached a
height of what seemed from our dis
tance to be about 1.200 feet it went
behind one of these clouds .and we did
not see it any more that night.
“It was a strange experience and
many of those in our party came near
fainting.”
