$75,000,000 IN HANDS OF.
FARMERS UNION TO HOLD
BACK COTTON CROP UNTIL
PRICE MOUNTS UP HIGHER
•
PRESIDENT BARRETT AND OTHER FARMERS’ UNION OFFICIALS
IN PRIVATE MEETING WITH REPRESENTATIVE OF BIG
FRENCH-ENGLISH SYNDICATE ARRANGES FINALLY FOR UN
LIMITED MONEY TO FINANCE COTTON HOLDING SCHEME.
Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 13 The Farmers’ Union played its biggest
card here yesterday and won.
While all the talk and stir of the cotton conference was going on. a
quiet meeting was held, in a local hotel, between President Barrett and
jther Farmers’ Union officials and thhe representatives of a French-English
■ oney syndicate, at which final arrangements were perfected for a practi
cally unlimited amount of money to finance the cotton holding scheme.
The representative of big money interests came especially for the pur
pose, and it is understood that any amount up to $75,000,000 is available.
While the plans are difficult to learn it is understood that this money is
to be turned over to a committee to handle. This committee is to consist of
C. S. Barrett, national president of the Farmers’ Union, one Southern bank
er and two members of the Farmers’ Union, all of whom are to lie announc
ed by Barrett. He will probably announce this committee at once.
The money is to be loaned at 6 per cent, and cotton stored in ware
ionses to be the collateral.
This is really the biggest financing scheme ever undertaken in the
South and it is said that it will enable farmers to hold for 15 cent cotton.
Tt may be stated authoritatively that the scheme has been perfected
and the only detail to arrange is Barrett naming a committee satisfactory
in the syndicate. None of these facts came out in the cotton conference,
in fact, no publicity is supposed to attend the transaction.

What promises to be an interest

o’clock.
A game has been arranged between
two bantam-weight baseball teams of
the city, and the friendly rivalry
which has long existed between the
two teams will be settled on the dia

The Tom-tits, under the captaincy
of Louie Buchanan, are grooming
themselves for the fray, while the
Wrens are being daily coached by j
their captain, Pharis Gregory. Both 1
fodes are determined to win a decis

large crowd will be out to encourage
the charitable spirit of the young ath

A Classy Detail of What Her Cotton (
Crop Will Do if Woven, into a Sheet.
An enterprising Georgian has been
doing some figuring about Georgia’s j
annual cotton crop and something
about her hogs. Here is what he has
doped out:
“If all the cotton that Georgia 1
produces in one year were made into ]
one sheet, it would cover the entire (
face of America and lap over on the (
toes of Europe. If all the catttle she (
raises in one year were one cow, that
beast could browse on the vegetation
along the equator, while her tail
would switch icicles off the north
pole. Her milk would float a cargo
of her butter and cheese down the
Satilla and across the Atlantic to
Liverpool. If all the hogs she pro
duces were one hog, he could root the
Panama canal at three roots and his
grunt would jar the cocoanuts off
the trees in the canal zone. Ain’t
that raisin’ ’em some?”
Not the Right Sort of Raise.
After having served three years in
the office of a Chestnut street broker,
says the Philadelphia Times, a young
man went to his boss, who is known
as tight-fisted, and said, in a most po
lite way:
“I have come to see yon sir. to ask
if you do not think that the faithful
service I have rendered during the
years I have been with you does not
entitle me to consideration. I would
respectfully submit, sir, that apprecia
tion be shown by a slight raise.”
Not at all impressed by the speech,
the broker turned upon the young
man and said sternly:
“Young man, you will find the ele
vator just outside that door, to the
right. Go get the raise you desire;
1' go to the top bf the building,, and get
ag many raises as you like.”

THE CHEROKEE JUDGE.
’
a- **■
“The state court of appeals has done
more to encourage crime in Georgia
than any other innocent agency in
it,” declared Judge A. W. Fite, of the
Cherokee circuit, at the capitol Tues
day morning, discussing the impend
ing gubernatorial campaign and the in
jection of the prohibition issue, says
the Atlanta Journal.
“And I will add,” continued the
judge, “that a member of that court
is now stumping Georgia, telling the
people the law cannot be enforced.
He should either resign from the
court or get off the stump.”
Jude Fite's reference to a member
of the bench of that court applied to
Jude Richard B. Russell, of Jackson
county, who is a candidate for gover
nor. and who has declared himself
for local option as opposed to the
state-wide prohibition law now in
force in Georgia.
Judge Fite Not Personal.
In his criticism of the court of ap
peals Judge Fite showed no personal
feeling for any member of the bench,
but his frank declaration will be read
with much interest over the state. It
is not often that a superior court

EVIDENCE BY SIGNS.
Deaf and Dumb Boy to Testify in a
Murder Case.
Somerset, Ky., Sept. 13 —Special
bailiffs left here yesterday to sum
mon a venire of 100 men in Lincoln
county from which to select a jury
tq try Fount Helton and James Ellis,
charged with tthe murder of Magis
trate A. J. Beally and Constable W.
F. Heath, at Burnside, Ky., in July.
At Monday’s session of the regular
Pulaski county panels were exhausted
without securing even one juror. El
lis and Helton are heavily guarded
in the jail here, having been brought
from Danville, where they were held
for safe keeping. Mob violence is
feared.
The feature of the trial will be the
evidence of a deaf and dumb boy who
is alleged to have seen the killing of
the two men. It will be the first time
in Kentucky, that evidence has ever
been given by signs.
A Delusion.
John Kirby, Jr., the president of
the National Association of Manufac
turers, was talking to a reporter dur
ing the association’s recent meeting
in New York, about certain tendencies
of modern life, says the Topeka Cap
ital.
“These tendencies,” said Mr. Kir
by, smiling, “look very harmless now,
but that is only because we misun
derstand them. They are really evil
terMencies, and in our indulgent out
look on them, we are deluded as a lit
tle Dayton girl I know.
“She took up one morning, a muff
that was sadly moth-eaten.
“Moths, she said, ‘are so nice. It
is so easy to feed them. They eat
nothing but holes.’”
ONE DOLLAR A YEAI
■ He continued with the statement that
the prohibition law should be enforc
ed to the letter all over the state, and
if its enforcement appeared impracti
cable in certain localities it should be
amended to meet the local
“But,” said he, “there is no rhyme
s nor reason in declaring that it can
not he enforced anywhere in Georgia.
The right sort of officials could enforce
it if they wanted to do so.”
The judge declared that none of the
breweries operating in Georgia had
any more right to make beer than the
Cureton distillery had to run in Dade'
county, and it was when referenct
was made to decisions of the court of
appeals applying to the “near beer”
traffic that he declared the court of
appeals had done more to encourage
crime than any other innocent agency
in the state. j
Judge Fite’s statement concerning
the court of appeals and his reference
to Judge Russell’s activities on the
stump was the one interesting de
velopment of the day relative to the
gubernatorial campaign.
It is regarded as significant as re
flecting the fast crystallizing opinion

The ladies of the Dug Gap school

(express their gratitude to the peo

For 40 years children have been at
tending this school without desks,
1 having only church benches. It has
been impossible to teach writing
