Foreign Cotton
Production Shows
A Slight Decrease
Foreign cotton Production,
exclusive of China and Russia.
for t lie current season is now
estimated at 8,842,000 bales
which is slightly smaller than
l he 1933-34 crop in those coun¬
tries, now estimated at 8,862.
000 hales. This is about 10%
larger than the average pro¬
duction in those countries for
llie ten years ended with 1932
-33, but 100.000 hales below
the previous peak of 1925-26.
The area of foreign cotton,
exclusive of Russia and China,
for the current season is esti¬
mated at a little less than 34,
100,000 acres which is approx¬
imately 1,200.009 acres less
than the estimate for the pre¬
vious season and 2,200,000 acres
below the peak of 1922-26. The
estimate of foreign acreage for
1931-35, not including Russia
and China, is about 5 percent
larger than the average for the
10 years ended 1932-33.
These estimates are present¬
ed in a preliminary report on
foreign cotton production pre¬
pared hy the U. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economies at the
request of Secretary Wallace.
This report is part of a compre¬
hensive study of the world cot
ton situation, intended to
show the competition of for¬
eign cotton with American;
factors infecting demand and
pr< d iction in the U.S., and the
effect of the adjustment pro¬
gram upon cotton production
and the income t o cotton
growers.
Cotton acreage in foreign
countries, as in the U.S., tends
to increase or decrease annual
ly with material changes in
actual cotton prices within
these countries or with signifi¬
cant changes in cotton prices
relative to prices of alternative
products, it is staled.
Acreage in India next sea¬
son is expected hy the Bureau
to he increased about 5%, but
it is stated that Egyptian acre
age may he reduced. The
Bureau says the acreage in
Brazil, partitularly in the sou¬
thern states, is likely to con¬
tinue upward unless cotton
prices decline materially or
coffee prices increase material
ly. As to Russia, the Bureau
says it seems probable that fur
ther expansion will be slow. In
China, it is stated, “it is not
improbable cotton product¬
ion will continue to increase,
although perhaps at a rather
slow rate. Chinese and Russia
cotton do not en ter internation
al trade in material volume.
1 he most significant cotton
areas from the standpoint of
international competition are
first, the U.S.; second, India;
third, Egypt; and fourth, on
the basis of 1934 pesformance,
Brazil”.

-TALLULAH FALLS, GA.—Dr. S.
| V. Sanford, Chancellor of the Uni¬
versity System of Georgia, will
deliver the Senior night address on
Friday, May 24th, at Tallulah Falls
School thus completing the hit torical
cycle which has been widely fea¬
tured through 1934-1935 as part of
the celebration of the school’s 25th
anniversary.
On June 30, 1909, Chancellor David
C. Barrow of the University of Geor¬
gia and State Superintendent of
Schools, Jere Pound, officially ac¬
cepted in behalf of the educational
system of Georgia, the one ; mail
school house built and offered by the
Georgia Federation of Women’s
Clubs for cooperative service with
state and local school authorities.
The 25th anniversary of Ibis
dedication in 1909 has been wide¬
ly celebrated all over Georgia
and throughout the country by
Tallnlah-minded friends inter¬
ested in this unique experiment
in all-round development of per¬
sonality through widely varied
occupation under instruction.
THE SILVER JUBILEE CYCLE

Silver Jubilee began on Senior night

speakers. The address of Dr. San¬
ford on May 24, 1935, will appropri¬
ately round out the historic recapitu¬
lation of the school’s dedication in
1909.
It is interesting to note that on
that occasion Chancellor Barrow was
both Chancellor of the State’s Uni¬
versity system and President of the
University of Georgia at Athens. At
the time of Dr. Sanford’s acceptance
of the invitation to close the Silver
Jubilee Cycle, of Tallulah Falls
School’s history, Dr. Sanford was
President of the University of Geor¬
gia and since acceptance he has be¬
come Chancellor of the University
system of the state. Thus the his¬
toric recapitulation of the Tallulah
Silver Jubilee becomes entirely com¬
plete. Both at the 1934 and 1935
commencements, County Superin¬
tendents Claude Purcell, of Haber¬
sham, and S. F. Ledford, of Rabun,
represent Superintendents Grant and
Chastain, who accepted the school
at the 1909 dedication.
CLUB WOMEN ON PROGRAM
I>-, Sanford win be introduced by
Jlrs. H. B. Federation Ritchie, President of the
Georgia Women’s Clubs,
whose recent proclamation of April
20th as Tallulah Falls School Day
brought wide response from the
women’s clubs of the state as an his¬
toric tribute to Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb,
the school’s founder, who first pro¬
claimed this day for Georgia clubs
in 1910.
Mrs. Lamar Rucker, of Athens,
will serve as Trustee Sponsor for the
Senior Class of 1935 and will deliver
the diplomas to the High School
Graduates. Mrs. Rucker is one of
Borgia's most distinguished club
women and the daughter of the late
Mrs. Nellie Peters Black, President
of the Georgia Federation at the
time of her death, and a devoted
worker for the Federation’s school
Tallulah Falls. Mrs. Rucker will
be Introduced by Mrs. S. V. Sanford,
a former President of the Federated
Women’s Clubs of Georgia and trus¬
tee of Tallulah Falls School. Mrs.
Rucker and Mrs. Sanford have been
especially associated in the adminis¬
tration of the Club Institute which
has been for a number of years a
feature of the summer school of the
University of Georgia.
STUDENT CHOBUS OF 300 VOICES
Music for Senior night will be fur¬
nished by ensemble singing of 300
students who love to sing.
The commencement sermon will be
delivered on Sunday morning, May
19th, in the Isma Dooiy Chapel by
Rev. J. B. Smith, Pastor, Clarkes-
ville Methodist Church. A feature
of this service will be the school’s
rendition of its favorite song, “My
Great Unchanging Friend,” sung on
this occasion as a special compliment
to the author, Adjutant S. E. Cox, of
the Salvation Army, who will be a
special guest at this service.
Tera Connolly said in her Tal¬
lulah Sllier Jubilee article in
1 i Good Housekeeping: “The
twilight mountain side rings with
the sweetest singing in the
world—t hat of fresh young voices
raised in songs they love. I
shall never forget how they

King Alcohol Making a

We’ve fried flu* iinJ.inilcd license system; the local option
system and the prohibition system. No one wants the unlim¬
ited license, but some wish lo vole for the return of the local
option system. This we found a sad failure, as many of our old
people know. I have lived under all three systems, and the
prohibition system has been a panacea, and our county a par¬
adise in which to live, compared to the hell we had under the
other two. I saxv under each of these more drunk men, young
and old, on our public square in a day than have seen all to¬
gether in ten years under prohibition. I am certain that there
are many children in the county ten years old and older who
have never in their lives seen a really drunk man.
There is a clamor for repeal of this law because, they say, it
cannot he executed. Is the individual greater than the state?
Do you not think it would he just as sensible to repeal all the
other laws, man made and (rod’s,because they are not perfect¬
ly obeyed and executed, and let each individual do just as he
pleases, ami “it's nobody’s business?”
The beer interests are advertising that lo legalize beer would
promote temperance. Temperance is the last thing this octo-
phis wants, and you know it; it would put il out of business,
and without much delay. Every state trying this change is
having an increase in drinking, drunkness and crime. Even
the “wet sheets” are reluctantly recording this fact. Beer
drinking nation* are not more temperate, as has been asserted,
hut, most intemperate nations on cart h; war-torn almost con¬
tinually. and are this very day. Tennessee had beer one short
year and not satisfied with a 3.2% kick, made it 5%. Will it
stop here? No, this is the way an alcoholic drink promotes
temperance. Drink beer and you create a desire for hard liq¬
uor. Mix these two in a man and you have a beast.
This beer interest, so solicitous of our children’s welfare, are
telling us in box ear letters that 97 , of the tax received on
beer would go to buy free school books. It has been figured
that if we guzzle around thirty million dollars worth of the
stuff, our children would, perhaps, gel a free spelling book
apiece.
The young people af this county are wholesome and happy;
they are NOT debauched. Let’s keep them so, no matter how
wet the rest of the state is, or may become. I can’t believe that
the people of this county arc going to crucify their young peo¬
ple on llic pyre of a beer tax. This offer is an insult to the intell¬
igence of heathens even.
An old fable relates of who had the choice which of l
a man
three sins he would commit—drunkness, adultery or murder.
He chose drunkness a* apparently the least, but when intoxi¬
cated he committed both the others. But it is argued that
beer won’t mak ■ you drunk, and, it will be sold in sealed pack¬
ages to he taken ami drunk al home. The drunkest drunk
is a beer drunk, and when we make saloons of the American
homes, then the hand that wrote Belshazzar’s doom will write
ours.
Would you want to put a grog shop beside your own home or
your neighbors’?
Parents, wives, mothers, of course you’ll vote May 15. Using
