Situation From Cotton Factor’s Standpoint
fIDGUSTS COTTON FACTORS SHI THEY ILL HOLD
GOTH FOB CUSTOMERS UNO ADVANCE ENOUGH
MONEY FOR THEM TO PICK REMAINDER OF COOP
No Factor Forcing Customers to Sell Cotton Who Bring in
Enough to cover the Advances to Them
COTTON ON WHICH FACTORS ADVANCE
MONEY SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO THEM
Majority of Factors Believe it a Good Idea For Those Need
ing Little Money to Sell Some of the First Pickings---The
Views of Augusta Cotton Men
The Herald is presenting today some
views on the cotton : ituation from the
standpoint of the cotton factor. The
factors are the people who advance an
nually large sums of money to the fann
ers to have their crops made. In the
spring of the year thousands of farmers
throughout this section of Georgia and
South Carolina, from the one-horse ne
gro venter to the planter who makes
several hundred bales, goes to his factor
to make financial arrangements for the
year. The factor advances him money
and guano in sufficient quantities to
make a crop and in most instances
takes a crop mortgage as security.
in the fall of the year the farmers
bring their cotton to the factors and,
after deducting for the advances in
guano and money and the costs of
handling the cotton, the farmer gets the
proceeds. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars are annually borrowed from Au
gusta banks by cotton factors to Ad
vance on the crops.
The opinion of Augusta factors is for
farmers who owe money to bring their
cotton to the factors for it is not tne
property of the farmers until they pay
back the money which has been ad
vanced. However, Augusta factors are
• not forcing the farmers to sell their
cotton. They say that they will hold
the cotton for them, but must have it
in the warehouse so that the factors can
make a showing to the banks. The farm
er owes the factor and the factor owes
the bank, so the factor has no showing
whatever unless the farmer brings in
his cotton and stores it.
The advice of AugYista factors to
farmers who do not owe any money on
their cotton is to hold it. It does nt mat
ter much where they it. If in a
warehouse it is safer from fires and is
not liable to be stolen or damaged by
bad weather.
Many of the factors, and indeed, pro
bably a majority of them believe that
the farmers who -need a little money
should sell the first few bales because of
the uncertainty as to how long the wai
will last and also because t-e cotton is
green and heavy now.
Duration of War Uncertain.
is what one factor said:
are not forcing our customers to
sell their cotton and we are glad to h™ l
it for them when they bring us enuogh
to cover our advances to them. We
are. of course, advancing enough money
for the farmers who deal with us to pick
out the remainder of their crop.
count of the uncertainty as tc> how long
the war will last we believe it 10 lie a
good idea tor those needing any money
to sell a few bales.;’
Another factor said:
"We are willing to hold cotton for
customers who owe us money. Provided
they cover amount due us for advan
made during the spring and summer
with which to make the crop.
“Most of farmers will have to be Po
vided with funds to gather the crop,
some are using seed for this purpose,
but so long as we can do so,
advance enough to pick the cotton and

whether the creditor be merchant, bank
er or cotton factor. it is in this way
only that we can work together and the
common interest .conserved. It is unec
essary to state that self interest, if
nothing else, will prompt every factor
to co-operate 10 his tulle extent in
keeping all the cotton possible off the
market at this time. *
‘‘We stand ready to advance sufficient
funds to gather the crop, it our farmer
friends will send the cotton to us as it
is ginned and baled.
“In view of the fact that no one knows
how long the war will last we believe
that any one needing a little money may
do well to sell some of the first of his
crop. Cotton just now is green and
heavy and will lose one cent per pound
in weight in a few months.”
This is from a factor:
“I dm nett forcing any one who
brings his cotton to me to sell it and
I shall hold it indefinitely. I am ad
vancing as imuch as ten dollars per
bale on it so that the farmers may
pick out the remainder of their crop.
As long as I am able to I shall ad
vance $lO per bale on cotton shipped
to me whether by my customers or
r.ot, and will hold this cotton until
the price goes up.”

NEGRO IS JAILED FOR
STEALING TOBACCO
THE SECOND TIME
Took From Detective’s Office
Yesterday a Caddy of To
bacco Which He Was Con
victed of Stealing Six Months
Ago
Antone Williams, colored, a well
known character to the police, took
from the detectives’ office yesterday
morning a caddy of tobacco for which
he seems to have an uncontrollable de
sire? About six months ago he was ap
prehended. charged, and sentenced for
stealing this identical caddy of tobacco!
Yesterdav he was to be a witness in the
recorder’s court, and while waiting for
his case to be called, was sitting on the
steps of the detective room. Apparent
ly he saw and recognized the old familiar
caddy of tobacco, and while not>ody was
looking, slipped in and got. it. He was
caught later in the day by Detective
Glover trying to sell the thing to the
very same Chinaman to whom he sold
It before. He is locked up again in
consequence. He seems determined to
have that caddy of tobacco. No other
will answer. Let’s hope that he will
be able to get off with it next time.

were ablaze with lights and adorned
with slender palms, delicate terns and
pure white roses. Arching the chan

TELEGRAMS SENT MRS. CHERRY
AT NASRIIILLE, GIL, UNANSWERED
Believed That Missing Salesman Informed His Wife of Inten
tion to Leave---Young Married Woman Who Left at Same
Time Said to Have Been Seen Up Georgia Railroad
Developments in the mystery of the
disappearance of John <'. Cherry have
been very alow.
It seems that Cherry left Augusta
on Baturday. He was seen accom
panying his wife and child In the di
rection of the depot, carrying a suit
case, hut It was not ascertained If he
took the train with them. But as far
as Is known he was not seen here after
Saturduy.
It Is thought now that Mrs Cherry
knew beforehand of her husband's in
tention to leave here, Mr. Fred Gehr
ken, Cherry's employer, having no
ticed that Cherry was bringing in leas
money from collections than bethought
ought to he coming In, had expressed
his Intention of going over Cherry’s
route himself on Monday. Cherry,
knowing as he did that the shortage
would then be discovered, must have
told Ills wife that he had to clear out,
and sent her back to her father in
Nashville, Ga, Letters and telegrams
have been sent to her repeatedly there
but she has not replied.
The disappearance, also on Saturday,
of tbs 17-year-old married woman
whose name had been associated with
Cherry's, naturally led to the assump
tion that they had gone off together,
but so far no direct proof of this has
turned up. It is reported toduy that
the young lady ha* been seen, alone.
In a station up the Georgia road and
that her husband has gone up to look
for her and bring her back.
The fact that Cherry’s letter to his
employer, confessing the shortage arid
saving he hoped to pay it back In the
course of time, was posted from Mi
con, I* of course certain proof that
Cherry himself 1* not In Macon. He
would undoubtedly have got somebody
to post the letter somewhere else than
where he was. Ho that he may have
been in the same town with her when
Society
with the bride’s and groom's initials
daintily encased and tied with pink rib
bons, were presented the guests and

will be at home to their friends at
their apartment on the Thirteen hun
dred block of Broad street.
Mrs. Knuek is the eldest daughter
ot Mr. and Mrs Frank J. Sherman
and is a strikingly attractive and
charming young woman with a mag
netic charm, a sweet, generous na
ture and a most lovable manner. She
enjoys a very flattering popularity
with all who know her and is very
generally beloved by young and old
alike. Mr. Knuek is one of Augusta’s
enterprising young commercial men
who Is in business for himself. He is
Immensely popular and merits and
receives the esteem of all who know

Many gifts were sent the bride,
among them being several substantial
( berks, silver and cut glass, chairs
and other fancy pieces of furniture,

that they could lock her up If they
