THE SOUTH’S COTTON—THE
WORLD'S BANK.
In a recent address at Richmond,
Richard H Edmonds. oT The Manu
facturers' Record, spoke of the part
the South's cotton plays In the mar
ket of the world.
Declaring the South the World's
Greatest Hank, he aald:
"The world draws upon this bank
for $1,000,000,000 worth of cotton »
year. And the time Is not far dis
tant when the worlds requirements
wdll lie at least $2,000,000,000 a year
We draw upon the same soil »nd the
same climate to give the farmers of
the South worth than 2,000,(too.000 of
other products.
’Tototn. the klngllest crop known
to man, the moat important crop in
all the wide ramifications of the
world's business, dominating, as It
has done for three-quarters of a cen
tury. much of the financial and com
mervial interests of this and other
lands, la vital to the very life of the
world's trade The South, however,
could abandon cotton growing and
turn its attention wholly to diversi
fied agriculture with far less loss to
itself than to Europe. Without the
South’s cotton crop the very business
life of Europe would stagger to a fall.
Europe calls upon us annually for
permission to draw on this cotton
bank for nearly $600,000,000.
The total flguret- which tell the
fctorv of the South's cotton bank In
Its relation to rite worlds trade are
staggering. When undertaking to talk
about this crop we must learn to
think, not In millions, but tn billions.
Since iB6O the total value of the
South's cotton crop' ha» been $17.-
4Mt.000.0p0 During the aante perlol
the total production of gold and sil
ver throughout the world has been
$11.674.000,000. Thus in that third of
a century the value of the South's
cotton crops has exceeded the value
of the world's gold and silver output
by $3,7776 000.000.
•'Consider the Influence of cotton
upon our foreign commerce and Its
Itniiortance in maintaining the bal
ance of trade In our favor. Since
1880 we have exported more than
$10,000,000,000 of cotton In the same
time the world's output of gold has
been $6,000,000,000 If Europe had
been able In that 34-year period to
ahlp to us in actual gold every ounce
mined on earth It would still have
fallen abort more than $2,000,000,000
In paying its Indebtedness for rsw

THE SANDMAN STORY
FOR TONIGHT
By MRS. F. A. WALKER.
THE HUNCHBACK PRINCE.
One upon a time there lived a king
who had two sons. One was a tall,
handsome boy, named Roger, and the
other wan a poor little hunchback
named Otto.
Now the king was very proud of
Roger and wanted him to marry u
rich princes* named Ina, whom ne
had selected for his wife.
Poor tittle Otto was a sore trouble
to the King, and also a drawback to
his handsome brother. Roger.
When It came time for Roger to go
Tor the Princess Ina. who was to re
turn witli ‘him as his bride, he said
THEY ROLLED A STONE IN
FRONT OF IT.
to his father. "What shall we do with
Otto; wc cannot have him around the
castle when lna comes here to live?
"The very sight of him will make
her miserable, and she will want to
return to her father, and then wo
shall lose ail the wealth she will
bring to us."
So Ihe King sent for Otto and told
him he had built a castle for him do
live in, sn.i that his brother was to
he married to the Princess lna, and
would live in the castle where they
now lived
"So 1 have built one for you.” he
told Otto, "where you can live in
comfort and not ho where people can
see you."
Poor Otto had long known that his
father and brother had thought him
in the wav. and had no love for him.
When he heard his father had built
a castle for him he thought he was
kind after all, so Otto thanked his
father and kissed his hand.
"There Is one thing you must do."
said the King: “your eyes must be
covered so you cannot see where you
are going, because I want you to he
surprised when you see your new
home."
Poor, unsuspecting Otto agreed to
this without a murmur, tor he knew
that he would have to submit anyway,
When the covering was taken from
Otto's eyes he found himself tn a
tower amt when he looked out of the
window he saw that he was sur
rounded by water
The King had put him here so far
from land that no cry could be heard.
Otto found In the tower plenty of
food and a bed of straw hut there
was no one living with him, for the
attendant had disappeared as soon as
the covering had been removed from
his eyes
After the Princess lna had lived at
the castle a month or more the Prince
and the King wanted the money %he
had brought to the castle with her,
but she w-ould not give them the key
to the chest which held her gold.
"If she will not give it willingly
then we must take It by force," said
the King to his son
So one night when the Princess
was asleep the King and the Trlnce
went to her room and took the key
from the chain which she wore
around her neck
“Now. we must get rid of her," said
the King, or she will tell everyone
we have her gold "
Then they carried the Princess off
to the forest and put her in a cave
They rolled a stone in front of It and
left her to b?r fate. But this time
INDOOR SPORTS st dt 4 By Tad
they had gone too Tar, for the cave
was that of a witch, and when she re
turned some hours after the King and
Prince had left she rolled sway the
stone and found the poor frightened
princess.
“Do not cry, my pretty,” she said
to her, after t'he Princess had told
her story, "we will make them sorry
for all their wickedness and get back
your gold as well."
The next morning the witch took
the princess out of the forest and
down to the water where there was
a boat.
“Get in, my pretty,” said the witch.
“We will go first for another victim
of the King's wickedness.”
The boat shot like an arrow through
the water and soon they were along
side a high tower, the one where
Prince Otto was imprisoned.
The witch got out of the boat and
went into the tower through a little
room and soon reurned with Otto,
who was thin and so weak he could
hardly walk.
The food which was left when he
was brought here was gone and no
one had come to bring him more.
Again the witch sent her boat over
Ihe water and soon they were back
at the place from which they had
started.
“We must get this poor boy to my
cave." said the pitch "and then I
will tell you his story.”
When they reached the cave the
witch began to boil some herbs in a
kettle, and while she was stirring
them she told Otto's story to the
princess.
"Tilts mixture which I will give him
will make him well again and his
Imck straight." she told the princess
"Then we will take hint to the castle
and he will he ahlp to fight for your
gold and his own rights. Tor he is the
cider son and should have been your
husband and the owner of the castle
after his father."
The next morning a big, handsome
man came to greet l*rlncess lna as
she was eating her breakfast.
"This is Prince Otto," said the
witch "He has taken the mixture 1
browed for him and he's strong and
well. Now we will go to the castle.”
The witch, Princess lna and Prince
Otto each mounted a horse and start
ed on their way to the castle.
When the King and ills son saw
who was at their door and saw the
angry look on Che face of the old
witch, they dropped on their knees
and begged for mercy, but the witch
stretched out her hands and raid:
For your wicked deeds you must
atone.
And both of you must turn to stone.
And there by the doorway of the
castle were two huge stones where
the King and his son had been.
"Now you can marry the Prince
you should have married at first,"
said the witch to Princess lna, "and
you will find your gold saved as
well."
She turned her horse and rode
away. *nd before the Princes* or the
Prince could recover from their
astonishment a cloud of dust had hid
den her from sight. The Princess
lna and Prince Otto lived yong years
and were happy. Just as the witch
had predicted, and they were known
always ss the good King and Queen,
for Otto, of course, became King In
hts father's place.

GEORGIA FACTS-No. 2
The Georgia Peach is a Recognized
Queen Among Fruits, and Peach
Growing is a Big Industry for
the State,
The Georgia peach is queen along
with cotton as king. In coloring, taste
and lasting qualities this fruit has
become famous throughout the Union,
and today the markets of the North
and West consider the Georgia pro
duct as absolutely the best.
The growth of Georgia’s peach in
dustry has been remarkable. Fifty
years ago the only peach orchards in
the state were small groves near Au
gusta. With improved transportation
facilities and methods of packing, the
industry grew in importance. In 1871
intelligent organization of this indus
try was attempted. The Alexander
peach was introduced in Georgia from
Missouri, and ten years later the fa
mous Klberta peach was produced.
This peach has done more to promote
the industry than all other varieties

the industry grew, until in 1912, 7,15-

Peaches are shipped in 6-basket cao

George O. Lombard * Co. In 1894
George It. Lombard incorporated the
business under the name of Lombard
Iron Works & Supply Co. and took
into the firm his son, George S. Lom

The business today is estimated to
be worth a half-million dollars, em

is recognized as one of the most sub
stantial companies of the state. The

of Fords. It was in 1909 that the
Lombard Iron Works & Supply House
took the Ford agency. Every year
since then the automobile end of the
business has been increasingly pros

of the Ford Motor Car Co.
Mr. George S. Lombard devotes ail
his time to handling the Ford busi

necessary to build the fine structure
to serve exclusively as a salesroom
for Fords. It has growu until the
Ford end of the Lombard business is
equally as important as any other end
of the Lombard business, which is
considerable growth when you remem
