MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 7. Why Not Appoint Committees To Get Augustans To Buy Cotton? BUYING COTTON IS A FINE INVESTMENT If M. & M. and Cotton Ex change Should Appoint Com mittees Great Deal Could Be Accomplished in Short While MOVEMENT SPREADING THROUGHOUT SOUTH Cotton at Eight Cents a Fifty Per Cent Investment, and Cost of Carrying is Very Small---Thousands of Bales Can Be Sold in Augusta Barrett & Company, cotton fac tors, are determined to make a success of the "Buy a Bale of Cotton" plan and this firm has already received a large number of orders from small investors to buy cotton for them. Barrett & Company have the equipment to bay and store it at reasonable rates and will issue bonded ware house receipts against it. With the facilities of the Atlantic States Warehouse Barrett ,fc Company can handle any amount of cotton for small and large in vestors. They announce that no order is too smalt and none is too large. The buy a bale of cotton" move ment is assuming larger and larger proportions and it is believed that sev eral million bales can be taken off the market throughout the South. In Way nesboro today a. meeting is being held for the purpose of seeing just how many bales the p o le of that town can be induced to ouy so as to take them off the market. ft is believed to be the most effective and. indeed the only way just ai present to keep cotton from going still loner In price. Since the plan was first suggested in The Herald last week it has been con sidered more and seriously by the people of this city. People with money saved, ranging from $lO up. are asked to buy cotton find Tbe Herald learns from various sources. that a considerable amount Is being bought. Local cotton factors are being asked by various peo ple to buy cotton for them and it will be stoved in warehouses until the price goes up. 50 Per cent Investment. Cotton at eight cents per pound is a 50 per cent investment certain and pos sibly an even greater one. If the Eu ropean war continues until the summer of 1915, ami little cotton is planted next year, by next fall cotton should be ls» rents per pound, which would be nearly 100 per cent investment .on an eight cents purchase basis. Would it not be a good idea for the Mfvehants & Manufacturers’ Associa tion and tlie Augusta Cotton Exchange and Hoard of Trade to get together on the proposition and appoint committees to see just how many bales of cotton Augustans can be induced to purchase? In tAlania such a committee has been formed and hundreds of bales are being sold. Hundreds of bales are also being sold in other Georgia towns and cities and these hundreds will run into thou sands before very long and when the movement gets spread all over the South millions of bales should be taken off the market. One Augusta business man Is reported to have said that he would' put fn.ooo in cotton .and hold it In a bonded warehouse; others will put sev eral hundred dollars, while still others have the price of “only one bale and w ill purchase it. It is believed that an organized can vas of the city by committees of the M. A AJ. and Gotton Exchange would result in thousands of bales being sold within a short time. There could be no bet ter investment. The insurance and storage will amount to but very little and the profit on the investments are great. Sweeps Georgia Like Wild Fire. Atlanta, Ga.—Tiie “buy a bale of cot ton" movement Is sweeping over Geor gia like wild fire. Atlanta citizens have bought 4i!o bales, mostly in one or two bale lots. The town of Winder earn* forward with bale* purchased and Go ington Mrs taken 310 bales. From Home and Eastman and dozens of other towns have corne telegrams showing in terest in the movement and pledging many bales. The Atlanta committee named at a conference Saturday meets today to complete the final details of the plan for purchasing and storing the cotton ns fast as the money rimes In. in Washington. Senator Hoke Smith ano other Southerners formed a “Buy « Bale lub" among the Dixie members of the senate, and in the house a simi lar movement wa z begun today. one problem before the workers is a practical plan for curtailing the cotton crop next year. Ts the planters raise a full crop in 1913 the efforts of this sea son will, come to naught, and some posi tive and effective manner of curtailment Is imperative. Until tin* public Is assured that tlfe farmers will pot flood the market next season buying for the sake of tho farmers will certain ly lag DEATHS °OUNDB- MISS MARY, died yeser day morning at 11:15 o’clock at the home of her aunt.

Jones, .who was standing on the cor ner in front of the house. lie went quieljy around to the back and saw two negroes at work on the window, evidently trying to effect an entrance. Realizing that it would he impossible for him to catch them Hlngle handed, lie notified the bar lacks and had a squad of ten )|en sent to his assistance. Meanwhile he watched tlie men work. When the ten policemen arrived and surrounded the house, each in a strategic position, a signal was given and they “rushed” the two negroes. These fought to the last. Seeing that they were caught in a trap they at tempted to barricade themselves In tin* wood house. The police had to break open the door of the btliiding to get them. When taken to headquarters the negroes gave their names as Walter Williams and Jhn Henry Woodson. One of thorn, it appears, was an em ploye of the near beer saloon. They are now in jail under a burglary charge. ASK TO TAKE OFF TWO TRAINS ON G. & F. Railroad Commission Petition ed by Gen. Mgr. Kirkland to Allow Road to Discontinue Trains Nos. 0 and 7 General Manager D K. Kirkland of the Georgia and Florida Railway has petitioned the Mate railroad commis sion to allow the road to take off its two night passenger trains between Huxlehurst and Augusta. Poor busi ness on the road due to the European war is the reason assigned for desir ing to take off the trains. General Muagcr Kirkland on yes terday made the following statement regarding the petition to the commis sion: "\\ e have suffered, since the out break of the European war, a 25 to .'in per cent reduction in the passenger service and after such consideration and putting the public on notice it is our plan to lay before the railroad commission our intentions of taking off these two trains, which we tiro operating at a tremendous loss. “With the lack of business in the section that the Georgia and Florida Railroad traverses, .together witli our agreement with the Augusta Southern Railroad to handle no passengers as far as KeysvlHe, we can easily see tnu. the day passenger trains cun well handle the demand for a carrier at the present stage. "If conditions change and show Im provement enough to warrant the rail road to continue with the night aer/- tce tjefore the date of the hearing It is very likely that we will draw down our plans and eontlnue with the pree dit schedules.” There was a slight wreck on the G. & F. yesterday Hear Swainsboro. Pas senger truin No. 4 was derailed, ail of the cars going off the track. No on« whs hurt, so it is said. FUNERAL OF* MR. S.

Impressively Magnificent Was Labor Celebration (Continued from page one). Dozens of Floats. There were dozens of floats in the parade, each one peculiarly repre senting' a craft. Very impressive were tlie floats of the farmers, the ma chinists. the blacksmiths, the carpen ters, the car workers, the Amalgamat ed Association of Street and Electric Railway Employes, the woodworkers of tlie Perkins Manufacturing (Com pany, the painters, musicians, retail clerks, the tinners, blacksmiths amt others. There wore thousands of white union men in the line of march und there were many hundreds, and probably thousands of negroes. The tinners and blacksmiths’ unions are composed almost entirely of negroes, while there is also a negro hod car riers’ union and other negro organi zations. The neatness in appearance of the various members of the unions and the appropriateness of their costumes cannot be over emphasized. The car penters were attired in the neatest suits of white, while the machinists, blacksmiths and other organizations wore suits of overalls, the same as they don each morning when they take up their daily tasks. All in ail. the Labor Day celebration of today was the most impressively magnificent affair Augusta lias ever seen. Started at Nine. The Labor Da> parade started this morning at !i o’clock promptly, going down Broad to Monument street, where it turned find proceeded up tile north side of Broad to McKitipe street. Tims is passed the judges twice, on the 700 block of Broad street. J. W. Johnson, chief marshal, headed the parade of horseback, followed by MeVshal Robert Wiggins. Next came the mounted police and the August;i Military Band. The mayor and city council, the heads of departments and speakers followed in carriages and automobiles. The fire department was an ex tremely impressive sight. Chief Rey nolds, in his Red Devil, headed the line, and behind him camo the three auto mobile engines, abreast, creeping along in second speed, with the solid pavement tvenibling under their enormous weight. Six hook and ladder trucks, and the three steam fire engines, abreast, fol lowed In the rear, with all the lesser craft of the department. The stre ts and drains department and the scavenger department brought up the rear of the first section of the pa rade. Second Section. Following IJ. 1,, uimis, marshal, and beading the procession came the banner id “Augusts Federation of Trades, ’ car ried by Mr. Frank White. The.v float avhh tremendously effective and original. Thirty boy* dressed in red. white and blue, walked In ttie form of a large sipiare holding ribbons of red, white and blue which hung from a tall pole carried along in tin- center of llie squaVe. Tire effect which this gave was delightful, a sort of wandering may pot**. It called forth shouts of approval from tire people standing on tile side walks. N The Augusta Federation of Trades’ float was, as It were, the Mother Float, all tlie others representin'; individual trades, inetnVH of tiie Federation. The carpenters came next, with a float composed of a small wooden house, com plete in every detail, bannisters, roof, chimneys window blinds, on which tin fir islrittg touches were being put try mail with plane and sand-paper. It was fol lowed bv a huge number of carpenters, dressed In white duck tvousers, white Irats, and blue shirts. As far as could lie counted, there were 155 men in this procession, walking three and three, more than twice tin* number represent ed in any other tvadc. On Itrelr wagon head was a steamer bearing the inscrip tion: "Pioneers of tlie Movement.” Following them came the flour ot the shopmen of Perkin* Manufacturing t’o. The fiout was on the same order, an un paintcil house. Just finished, equipped with Hashes, frames upd every detail o house-finishing matin at tire shops. It would Ire Impossible to draw a compari son between tills and the. Carpenter*’ in,use. except to sav that each wxielled the other! It was followed by about SO workers, dresse.d In whit r with black neck-ties, walking two by two. The Painter*. Thirty-six painters followed, drawing a car which reiiulres a lot of description. Around the lloat, which wus a high structure of white cheese doth, deco rated In orange-colored flowers, were arranged si niches, t M which six young ladies stood like Mat lies. In classic white roties, we.urlng broad blue rlb buna diagonally on which were printed “Retail Clerks' Local Onion." Tbe car was most spectacular and wpil turned out and was one of the favorites. The Musicians' float, which came next, was a beautiful sight. A platform twelve feet square end uiiout five feet from the ground was wafted along by invisi ble nieuns and bore an ally 'loin** sup ported on pink columns. Tbe whole was decorated Iri chrysanthemums and ferns and gave an linfftresalon of lightness uiul fr. gbits. ITider tiie dome *ai little Mies Daryl Hilton, dressed In pink, playing on a large harp, and on tho corners of the final sat four other love ly children, surrounded with flow***. The float drew forth groat applause. A street car decked In red, white and I,bi , represented the Motortnen and <'onductors* of tire a. arid A It, R. (•„,[). and was followed by a number of members of tire union. .Tire brewery Workers produced one of tire serv finest Bird most beautltnl Hoots tn the parade, a purple and white dome borne aloft on a great purple and whit* •#r full of children, with streamers of the same colors held out on all sides by men ilresses In white with purple ties, t'pward of fifty men attended tills float, two by two. It produced an effect of magnificence perhaps unequaled by any other float in the parade. Thirty Electrical Workers followed In procession, dressed In white with blue shirts. The International Assn, of Machin ists, turned out a most impressive float, displaying on an auto truck the different operatlonrfof their trade. Ma chine* of various kinds wore seen In motion, and sparks flew In all dlrec tlons. Th'-re followed about a hundred men In overalls and caps. The H. R of A. had eighty. Ten blaokmlths, following their float where anvils and bellow* were In full operation, wore Instead of leather, red velvet aprons which made a fiiu* sight. Tho iur bore their da v|e* with the letters T, 11. R, tl. The ( 'oca - Cola float was a mnstar plo* c of decoration, exhibiting all the hull murks of coca-cola with which everybody is familiar. The Metropolitan Life ' Insurance Company was represented wltli a de lightful float on which slood a min iature model of the great Metropolitan building in New York. Sixteen liisqr- a nee men walked behind, dressed in Palm .Beach suits. The Wood lawn Lodge, No. 41, of the International Association of Gar Workers, turned out 82 members who followed a float consisting of a model of a passenger car, on which (\ & YY. C. was painted in large letters. The Brotherhood of R. R. Train men followed a float built onto the caboose of a box ear. This brought up the roar of the sec ond section of the parade. Third Section. Local No, 727 of Rock Farmers Un ion headed the third section with a hand. Followed agricultural implements, reapers, etc., in the most modern pat terns. and wagons with exhibits of j watermelons, wheat, cotton, am; nil the produce of the farm. It was a significant fact that the bale of cot ton displayed was marked with a large placard “Ice.” One was gk d to note that, tlie price of cotton has gone up again. Or perhaps, ns some incon inconsistent person was irreverant enough to remark, that was the price of the whole bale. O’Connor and Schweers turned out one of the very best flouts of all. On an enormous wagon was placed an exact replica of a paint can, about 15 feet high and 12 feet in diameter. ’Phis could be seen approaching from a great distance, and u ade people Won der what it could be. The front of the wagon was occupied by a sort of pavlllion with children seated under over-hanging vines. A colored band preceded the negro carpenters' union, where 70 men walked two and two. Slushy's Hoofing was- represented by a small house where tin work was going on In al llts processes, and which men were roofing with squares of the material advertised. II was fol lowed by tlie tin workers, who con stituted what was without doubt the feature of the parade, a procc? aion of colored men wearing tin hats, of all shapes and descriptions, and carrying tin parasols. The plasterers union had a float around which they were building a brick wall. The International Hod carriers turned out in full force. Maxwell’s Furniture Store had a most ingenious and original exhibit, consisting of an Iron bed, all made up with shetfl and pillows, whose bed posts wore equipped with rubber tired wheels a foot in diameter instead of rollers. The driver sat at the head of the bed with his legs hunting out in front through the bars of the head board. J. Golden, Shoes, wns roprosent'ed. YV. B. Hignon had an exhibit of coal and wood. | Th«' Ohoro-cola Go. hn<r a float dis playing their wares. E. M. Grozler & Go. turned out n very good float on which was display ed a fine array of men’s and boys’ clothes.
