LITTLE COTTON IS OFFERED FOR SALE AT 31
AUGUSTA RECEIPTS 2,718 BALES,
SALES IRE DULY 363 BALES
Cotton in Strong Demand at 8 1-4 Cents. Farmers in
Greater Concert Than Ever Before and Are Holding It.
At . 4 cents per pound for middling
cotton there was a very good demand
In Augusta Tuesday. The receipts weVe
2.706 bales and the sales were only 363.
This indicates the effectiveness of the
holding movement.
The farmers appear to be acting in
greater concert- than ever before and
are determined not to sacrifice their cot
ton. The general holding movement, in
addition to the “buy-a-bale-plan” has
4ore much to help the price.
The announcement that Montgomerv-
Wnrd & Co., of Chicago will take 10.0(H)
bales at 10 cents per pound will cause a
•Treat deal of pleasure throughout the
South. This means an investment of
half million dollars for this one firm.
A Detroit concern with 400 agencies in
the South has agreed to “buya-abale"
for each of these, which means 400 ad
RIVER IS LOWER
THAI FDR OVER
FORTY YEARS
As a Result Only 3,000 of the
12,000 Horse Power Fur
nished by the Canal is
Available.
The river is lower, according to
city and government officials, than
it has been in over forty years. There
has been very little rain for the past
month and before that there was a
considerable deficiency in precipita
tion for the year.
Mr. Chas. A. Maxwell, superinten
dent of wa. rworks, stated on Tues
day that only 3,000 of the 12,000 horse
power in the canal is now available,
owing to the low water. As a result
the Augusta Factory and the Enter
prise Mills were the only ones run
ning after noon Tuesday and they
were not running all of their ma
chinery.
Various mills along the canal have
had to shut down part of their ma
chinery all of the time and all of their
machinery part of the time for some
days, but on Tuesday matters be
came worse than at any time in many
.years. There seems to be no pros
pect of rain until the weather gets
f):».rmer.
MEDICAL DEPT:
11, OF CL OPENS
WEDNESDAY
Will Have Formal Exercises in
Assembly Hall at College at
Noon. Year of College Work
is New Required.
..The 1914-15 session of the Medical
department of the University of
Georgia will be formally opened Wed
nesday, September 16th, with appro
priate exercises at noon in the gener
al asembly hall. Dr. W. H. Doughty,
the dean, has requested all members
of the faculty, the adjunct faculty
and assistants as well as the students
to be present for the opening exer
cieses.
An enrollment of one hundred or
more is expected, including something
like twenty new men. The registra
tion will not ocGur till Wednesday.
Tuesday, Prof. J. 8. Stewart, of
Athens, was here passing on certifi
cates and holding examinations.
Different Circumstances.
The Medical College opens this year
under quite different circumstances
than ever before in its history. It
is now ranked among the Class A
Medical Colleges of this country, and
beginning this session no student is
entered unless he has satisfactorily
completed at least one year of college
work or its equivalent. This puts a
strict entrance requirement on the
Medical College and positively, ac
cording to Prof. Stewart, no student
is being allowed to enter unless tie
can meet this requirement.
Use New Hospitals.
Another new and particular en
couraging feature regarding the open
ing of the Medical College this year,
is that the new University Hospitals
which are now being completed will
be put into use for the first time
this year. The new' hospitals repre
sent an outlay of a half million dol
lars, and used in connection with the
Medical College, as they will be, they
will be an asset and a credit to Au
gusta, at the same time making com
plete a plant for the Medical College
unequalled anywhere In this section.
New Instructor.
The only change noted on the fac
ulty Is In the chair of Chemistry, Prof.
C. H. Maryott, Ph. D., Succeeding
Prof. Dow, resigned.
The classes wil begin their regular
lecture routine on Tuesday.

CESSATION OF
P, D. WORK IS
TEMPORARY
Stopped Tuesday to Make
Tests of Piles for Govern
ment. Will Require Not
More Than Ten Days it is
Believed.
Work on the new Postoffice and
Federal Courthouse on Barrett Plaza,
is temporarily suspended in order for
the government to make certain tests
of the piles used for the foundation.
It was stopped Tuesday morning by
Construction Superintendent Lepper,
for the government, following the re
ceipt of a wire from the office of the
supervising architect at Washington,
asking that the tests be made before
more piles are driven.
The work, according to Superinten
dent Lepper, will be resumed as soon
as enough of the piles to make the
required tests are sufficiently set.
The piles are of the concrete pedestal
type and it will be a week or ten days
before the first that were driven sev
eral days ago are in proper shape for
the tests to be made. They will be
tested at fifty tons each. The distri
bution of the weight of the stone and
marble building, however, will not
place as much weight as this on each
pile.
Mr. Lepper stated that the work
has simply been going ahead a little
too fast, and that the cessation of
work is brought about for no other
reason that to test the piles before
more are driven. Seventy-five have
been driven up to the present.
Mr. Lepper further said that he has
absolutely no doubt that the piles will
fully stand the tests.
CONDITIONS SEENI
TO BE IMPROVING
General Manager Spofford, of
Augusta-Aiken, Back From
New York is Optimistic Over
Situation.
General Manager R. W. Spofford, of
the Augusta-Aiken Railway and Elec
tric Corporation, has just returned
from New York, where he has been for
two weeks. Mr. Spofford returns
considerably more optimistic over the
general business situation than he
went away.
"Conditions appear to he getting
much brighter,” he says, "and I be
lieve that the worst is over. The peo
ple in the North think that the Amer
ican cotton mill interests should reap
a rich harvest by reason of the Euro
pean war and think that the mills
should be running overtime.
"The fact ttiat America has annually
imported large quantities of cotton
goods from Europe, which cannot be
secured this year, and the opportunity
offered for export trade to South
America, which trade has been held by
Germany, France and Great Britain,
should cause the American mills to
be in clover, so to speak."

FOR CURTAILMENT OF
1915 CROP OF COTTON
Conference of South's Governors Called. No Solution,
Says Senator Hoke Smith, Except by Cutting Down
Next Year. Nine States of the Forty Eight Are Affected.
Washington, D. C. —A conference of
governors of the cotton states on the
situation confronting the trade through
closing of foreign markets are requested
today by Southern members of congress.
Acting on instructions from congress
men from tae nine states principally af
fected, Senator Sheppard, of Texas, sent
telegrams to the governors of those
states asking them to meet in Washing
ton to discuss particularly the curtail
ment of next year's crop. The decision
to call the conference was reached last
night at a meeting of Southern senators
and representatives.
Georgia’s Senator.
“It was the view of all present at
last night’s meeting.’’ said Senator Hoke
Smith, “that no solution of the cotton
difficulties could be accomplished except
by curtailment of next year’s crop.” He
pointed out that nine states out of the
48 are those chiefly affected by the lack
of a cotton market and said the opin
ion had been freely expressed that it
would be impossible to obtain from the
representatives of the 39 other states
their support to any except general leg
islation which would aid the situation.

He also called attention to the fact

The financial situation arising from
the lack of a cotton market will be
discussed at a meeting of the farm

Judge E. H. Callaway, of Augusta,
one of tho largest land owners of Co
lumbia County and a man who has
always been much Interested In the
development of Columbia County, will
make an address.
The farmers of Columbia are de

THEATRICAL
Notes ol Interest || j
“ADELE.”
What Is said to be somthing dif
ferent In the way of a musical show
Is the descriptive matter that quali
fies “Adele” the well known operetta,
which after a run of one whole yeat
in New York, will he presented bj
Jos. P. Bickerton, Jr., managing di
rector of the New Era Producing
Company, Inc., for a return engage
ment at the Frand Friday evening.
In one respect at least, there is a
vast difference, and that it that
"Adele" possesses a renl story. Though
it is farcical in character, it is told
in rbight sparkling lines and epigra
matic dialogue, and enhanced with
the unusual enchantment of remark
ably clever situations. The story is
that of a young girl wlio is unable to
wed the son of her father’s business
rival on account of parental objec
tion. Being under age, she conceives
the idea of marrying the fiance of her
friend, who is the Baron de Chan
tilly, and then divorcing him. This
sort of marriage would free her from
the Irksome parental yoke, leaving
her at liberty to marry Robert, the
man of her choice. However, while
merely playing In love, the parties to
this marriage of convenience compli
cate things by actually falling in love
with one another.
It will be recalled with much pleas
ure by those who witnessed "Adele"
on Its first engagemesft that they lwll
once more have an opportunity to
see their favorite players In the same
yoles, as Mr. Bickerton has held to
gether the same organization that
was here last season.
Miss Carolyn Thomson will be seen
again as Adele; John Park as the
baron; Mae Phelps as Myrlanne;
Stephen W. Bcott as Robert; Felix
Haney as Parmaceau; Bottle Vincent
as Babiole; Jules Epllly as Frlenur,
and Ralph Nairn as Jacques. Others
in the cast are Lawrence C. Knapp,
Louise Burpee, Dorothy lietts, Jean
Mann, George L. Willson, Mabel Bil
over, W. J. Reynolds, Sydney Davis,
Bee Hughes, Edna Orth, Will Collins,
Lena Vogt and Marie Barrett.
A chorus of rare beauty and good
looks, known as a chorus of "prlma
donnas," will he In evidence and will
be clothed in new French gowns,
which Manager Bickerton brought
hack from Paris last summer, and
w-hlch were executed from the design
of Paul Poiret.
“Very Gratifying.”
Washington.—Administration offic
ials today expressed gratification over
the result of the Maine elections.
"That state, previously rock-ribbed
republican, may now be classed os
doubtful," said Secretary Daniels.
"Very gratifying,” was Secretary
Bryan's comment.
One of the first things President
Wilson did when he returned to tho
White House was to examine the
Maine returns. He expressed his sat
isfaction to the cabinet as it as
sembled.
STEAMER AGROUND.
Norfolk—The steamer Vansciver,

Largest Crop Made Except
That of 1911-12. Secretary
of Augusta Exchange Re
ceives Report N. Y. Cotton
Exchange.
Mr. W. S. Lanier, secretary of the
Augusta Cotton Exchange, received
yesterday a copy of the annual report
of the New York Cotton Exchange
on the cotton season of 1913-14 which
ended August Slst, last.
The report In part as as follows:
The cotton crop of the United States
for the year 1913-1914 counts up 13,-
921,203 bales. Add to this tho pro
duction of cotton linters, 1. e„ 631,153
bales, giving a total of 14,652,456
hales, the largest commercial crop
produced except of 1911-1912.
The crop had a late start, partly
owing to drought in portions of the
Atlantic states in May, but the favor
able weather conditions during the
months of June and July following
did much to bring the crop forward,
especially In the region east of the
Mississippi. A drought prevailed dur
ing August in portions of the terri
tory west of that river, notably In
Oklahoma and parts of Texas, which
reduced the yield In the sections af
fected. Storms, which later swept
over tho South Injured tho open cat
ton and resulted in lowering the grade
of a considerable portion of the crop.
An early frost throughout the cotton
growing region practically put an end
to the crop growth.
As a result of the early frost many
Immature bolls of cotton failed to ful
ly open. Formerly such bolls were re
garded ns of no value, but more re
cently, stimulated by the high price
for cotton, machinery lias been de
vised for tho thrashing out the seed
cotton contained in such bolls, this
is afterward ginned and baled. Ap
proximately 320,000 bales of "bolly
cotton" 1h Included In tills crop. Its
value depends largely upon Its char
acter.
The price received for cotton dur
ing eleven months of the year, (until
the outbreak of the war In Europe),
was on the whole satisfactory.

TAKE COTTON OR
A BASIS OF
8 CERTS
Savannah Merchants to Take
Cotton in Payment of Ac
counts or for Goods Bought
at 8 Cents Per Pound.
Says the Savannah Morning News:
Approval of the Retail Merchants
Association’s plan to assist In the so
lution of the cotton problem was ex
pressed yesterday by bankers mid
prominent business men who were In
terviewed by the Morning News on
the subject.
It appears to be the concensus of
rplnton that the plan mapped out by
the merchants is a thoroughly prac
ticable one and that It will help take
cotton off the market, at the same
time providing tho farmer with funds
in order that he can meet his obliga
tions. There can be no objection to
the plan from any source. It was
pointed out.
Bankers state that nny plan de
signed to relieve tlio situation will bo'
welcomed, and that they stand ready
to co-operate with the business peo
ple In every practicable way. They
recognize the gravity of the situation
perhaps as no other cliihh of business
'iron, and appreciate fully their re
sponslbilties.
"This iilan of the retail merchants
strikes me as being a capable one,"
said William F. McCauley, president
of the Savannah Bank and Trust
Company. “The plan should, In my
Judgment, be encouraged, ub It prom
ises to be of great assistance In the
solution of the problem which con
fronts us. There appears to be noth
ing Impracticable about the plun and
I think the merchants are to he com
mended.
“As I understand their plan they
propose to take cotton direct from
the producer for Merchandise bought
or lu payment of account, and that
the transactions are to be made on a
basis of 8 cents a pound for good
middling f. o. b. Savannah. The mer
chants seem to have got at Ihe prob
lem in a very reasonable and satis
factory manner.” The cotton Is to
be consigned to the Retail Merchants
Association, and the producer will not
be compelled to deal with nny one
merchant, but may patronize any that
lr uliled with the association.

Mr. Frederick Perroux, of Perroux
A Jones, who left Augusta on August
24th and sailed from New York
aboard tho steamer La France on the
26th, as a reservist, to Join the French

a postcard -»nt from Paris.
He reports an uninterrupted and
pleasant passage on tho great French

Ambassador Sharp, on his way to
take up his new post at Paris, was on
board, and also Cardinal Gibbons, on
his way to the Conclave at Rome. The
cardinal said mass on board for tho
reservists, who, Mr. Perroux writes,
were more like a party on a pleasure
trip than an army going to the front.
Mr. I’erroux stopped In Paris on
his way to Alx-lea-Baina, arriving in

People are Looking
For “Buying” News
In days of rising prices and fluctuating values
people are more inclined to shop than in ordinary
times.
Ordinarily prudence makes all of us want to buy
to the best advantage—with many it is today an act
ual necessity.
In times like these people are eager advertising
readers because they wunt to know.
It takes little observation to demonstrate that
they are newspaper readers.
And it is not only logical to assume that now is
the time to advertise in the newspaper, but it is a fact
demonstrated by results on every hand.
