TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 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.

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." FIRST PICTURE AT GRAND WILL DRAW LARGE CROWD Mary Pickford, Motion Picture Star of Unequaled Fame, to be Seen in “The Eagles Mate” Augusta lovers of real high-class photo-plays, few of which have be<V, seen here In the past, are waiting anxiously the presentation of the first of the Paramount Pictures at the Grand next Monday afternoon, 8:30, and night, 8:30.

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. By Law. He also called attention to the fact that In Brazil, when an over production COLUMBIA COUNTY FARMERS TO DISCUSS COTTON SITUATION Will Hold Mass Meeting at Harlem on Wednesday Morning at Ten O’clock. Judge E. H. Callaway Will Make An Address. The financial situation arising from the lack of a cotton market will be discussed at a meeting of the farm ers of Columbia County at Harlem on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. 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 termined not to sacrifice their cotton and inasmuch as they have been un able to get advances on cotton so that they may hold It until the prices get 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.

Washington.—An effort to assure early action in the house on the sen senate bill to Issue emergency curren cy on cotton warehouse receipts, up to seventy-five per cent of their value, and to admit state banks and trust companies to the federal reserve sys tem, was blocked today by Repre sentative Henry of Texas. Representative Tribble of Georgia, asked that Thursday be set for a vote, declaring that southern farmers were In Immediate need of such re lief.

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.

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. 1. FRED PERM IS NOW IN FRANCE Mr. Perroux Reached the Other Side Two Weeks Ago and Writes of Interesting Trip. 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 army has been heard from In a letter written from the steamer and post ed at Lo Havre, and subsequently !n a postcard -»nt from Paris. He reports an uninterrupted and pleasant passage on tho great French boat, on which were 1,200 reservists 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 tho capital on September 2nd. Alx les-Halns Is the home of the Perroux family, and It Is probable .that ho will be consigned to forces enlisted In that quarter. FUNERAL MRS. PRONTAUT FROM ST. PATRICK CHURCH Conducted by Rov. Fr.

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.
