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 cotton. . ....... iiiurps*if min m j I 1 | 1 T, #:L-. \|j i§§!l! i Him — J PMOwt /A. the j Ou'OiPE ro Tip o*o(= ovjE-R, W' 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. (Copyright, 1914, *»' the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.

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 A TRIUMPHANT TRIO Augusta, Ford and Lombard Are Three Big Factors in the Progressive South. Ford Motor Car Co. Pays Tribute to Augusta and to Augusta Agency. Augusta, Ford, and Lombard —a triumphant trio of the Southland. Famed far north of Mason and Dixon’s line, far south of the equa tor, far east of the Atlantic and far west of the Pacific, because of the prowess and heroism of her Illustrious sons, and noted among her sister cities of the South for her progressive spirit, Augusta, Georgia is the Ideal first member of the triumphant trio. Ts there be any who live so far away from the world of marching events as not to recognize Augusta's claim to a niche in the Hall of Fame, it is but necessary to say that this proud city is the home of T.vrus Ray mond Cobb, swatter extraordinary and game-grabber plenipotentiary of the Detroit Club of the American League of Professional Hasehall Clubs. Another of Augusta's sons. Major Archie Butt, of the official family of ex-president Taft, endeared himself to the hearts of Americans by meeting death like the good soldier and hero hr was, when the ill-fated Titanic plunged under the icy waters of the North Atlantic. A memorial bridge has recently been placed in Augusta in honor of Major Butt. One of Augusta's old families is the Lombards. Both socially and com mercially this family is most promi nent. Way hack in December, 1869, Mr. George O. Lombard commenced busi ness in Augusta. In April, 1870, he took in as partner his son, George R. lamibard. then about fifteen years SPORT DOPE Win Frisco Tournament. San Francisco.—William M. John ston. Pacific coast tennis champion.

It is today the most ex tensively grown peach in Georgia. It attains large size, Is unusually showy, and stands shipment well. The Georgia Fruit Exchange reports the industry grew, until in 1912, 7,15- cars were shipped from Georgia. Peaches are shipped in 6-basket cao riers, each holding nearly one bushel. A car contains an average of 525 car riers. The average selling price in 1912 was 97c per 6-basket carrier and in 1913 the average selling price was $2.02. Prices are F. O. B. cars ship ping station. From the thirteenth census of the United States taken in year 1910, it is learned that the number of Georgia's peach and nectarine trees was 10,609,- 119, yielding 895,613 bushels, in the year 1909. It is estimated that there are in Georgia 18,000,000 peach trees. The bulk ol the peach business is in the counties southwest of the central portion, the greatest shipping points being Fort Valley and Mar3hallville. of age, and the firm name became 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 bard. The business today is estimated to be worth a half-million dollars, em ploys about three hundred hands, and is recognized as one of the most sub stantial companies of the state. The Plants of the Lombard Iron W T orks & Supply Co. covers about three city blocks. When you link up properly a progressive city and a progressive family something is bound to happen. And the proper link in the qite was the Ford Agency and that wlm-h was hound to happen is happe'hing. Au gusta and vicinity is getting its share 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 perous. It has grown until the com pany is one of the largest agencies do ing business tinder the Atlanta branch of the Ford Motor Car Co. Mr. George S. Lombard devotes ail his time to handling the Ford busi ness. It has grown until it became 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 ber that the other ends have been growing since 1869. 3000th Hit. Philadelphia.—Hans Wagner, vete ran shortstop of the Pittsburgh Na tional 1/oague team, yesterday made his three-thousandth hit in seventeen years of major league baseball.
