PROGRESS.

And yet I know It etretrhrr on before.
Behind, lorr»-er, lire what I have trod

If I should linger, crouched upon the

Waiting the coming of a day more

I might hold back the etepa of thoM

So 1 muat Journey steadfast through

What If the rond Is dark, the way un

HAS WILLIAM EVER
BEEN CROWNED KAIBER?
That Emperor William has never
been crowned as Kaiser I* one of the
etorlea now going the rounds. Al
though not a new story It Is neverthe
less Interesting In view of recent
events It ts said that the (lerman
ruler wished to be erowned Emperor
of Her many after the manner nf Char
mlemagne and was not content with
the title of Herman Emperor, borne by
his two predecssors. When the rulers
of some of the smaller Herman states,
ever Jealous of Prussian dominance,
refused him the title he had set his
heart on, William II refused to be
crowned at all. There la another story
going the rmitwla, that he postponed
the ceremony until tt could take place
tn Westminster Abbey. While this
•lory makes Interesting reading It Is
probable that tt possesses no other
merit.

So far thero has been no concerted

Is nut to say that the patriotic sen

Already several Individuals, banka

All Co-operating to Help Farmer,
From the beginning of the European
war and the attendant crippling of
business In the country the business
houses of Millen have been doing all
In their power to alleviate the dis
tress of the farmer growing out of a
depressed cotton market because of
the war and because of overproduc
tion. Here, ns elsewhere, there has
been manifested a splendid spirit of
co-operation. There has been no dis
position on the part of any one to en
force payment of maturing accounts.
Though the banks of which there aro
three the First National, the Bank
of Millen and the Jenkins County
Savings Hank have advanced a great
deal of the money with which this
year’s crop In this section has been
made, they are willing to wait. Ware
house receipts deposited with them
carry the farmers' paper along indef
initely while Un» farmers hold for
belter prices Even advances hnve
been made all along and are still
made wherever It Is possible. Daniel
Sons & Calmer, the C. Parker Com
pany, Corbett A Wilson and other
large mercantile houses are taking
cotton off the handa of their custo
mers, lit trade or when applied on ac
count, at a premium over and above
the market price, 10 cents being the
prevailing basis. The First National
Hank has applied for Its tjuota of the
emergency currency.
Conditions Show Improvement.
While never at any time have there
been any panicky signs, the farmers
were until a few days ago less hope
ful than at the present, not so de
termined to fight the battle through
and win their victory. The situation
held out less hope than at present.
"The Improvement not only In
the market price but In the feel
ing of the farmers and the people
generally Is very apparent." said

Hank of Millen "l think that all

Footwear With a Clearly Defined “Air” of Distinction
Woman has never seen grace and beauty of line combined so effectively as in the
new fall and winter footwear. So long as the “Moyen Age” prevails in stylish dress so
long will makers of fine shoes bend all effort to combine beauty with an air of distinc
tion in their productions—cleverness, smartness and beauty. For the street, house and
“occasions” there is a wealth of attractive, new models to select from here. Correct,
but modestly priced.

now take the view that Just what
has happened has been the great
est thing that could have be
fallen us, though it makes us
suffer. Not a farmer in this
county who will need legislation
to force him to cut his cotton
acreage next year—from now on,
they are going to raise food crops,
home products, and think more
about filling their smokehouses
and corn cribs than about how
many bales of cotton they can
possibly depend upon.
"What do l think about the
'Huy-a-Hale' movement? 1 think
it is the salvation of the country
In the present crisis. What im
provement there has already been
noted Is due to nothing but the
'Buy-a-Bale' movement, for the
farmers holding their cotton off
the market could not have forc

had not the distress cotton been
taken care of. Then It has put a

Warehouses Rapidly Filling.

Nothing like 25 per cent of the

far In Millen has been sold by
those with expensive farming in
terests; that the average small
farmer has been held off and still
has practically all of his 1914 crop
either ginned and stored at home
or in the warehouse or in the
field. The wisdom of his course
has already been demonstrated.
Cotton has already begun to ad
vance, and he could sell today if
he did not see a betetr day ahead
and realize a few dollars more per
bale than did those big farmers
who turned loose at least a part
of their crop at the market's low
est ebb.
But the total sales in Millen have
been comparatively small, considering
the large production in the section
for which Millen Is the market, and
big farmers and little farmers are
alike tightening their hold now that
increasing demand for the staple has
begun to advance the price.
Tuesday It was practically Impos
sible to buy cotton at 8 cents at Mil
len. A week previous several hundred
bales were sacrificed at nearly a cent
a pound less than that figure. Tues
day Mr. J. D. Lyons, one of the lead
ing cotton buyers located here this
season, succeeded in buying just
twelve bales at 8 cents. He was
rather discouraged over his day’s
work or would have been had not his
public-spirited habit forbade.
New Bank Building Going Up.
If, though cotton Is being held off
a war-depressed market, anyone
should think things are at a stand
still In Millen. he la mistaken. Bus
iness Is as a matter of course off in
volume compared with normal years,
but It Is still going on uninterrupted.
People are living Just the same as
usual. And even building Is In prog
ress.

month, but will be made a permanent
institution
While the Idea behind the Five
County Fair was originated before the
European war disturbed business and
farming conditions and depressed the
markets in this country, after the
situation it thrust upon the South
was realized, there was no let up in
the plans, making for the fair. Rather
there was seen to be a more urgent
reason why the fair should be held,
because the prime purpose is to teach
the cotton farmer to depend less upon
cotton, to make the most of his op
portunities, to raise food products,
livestock and cattle, and to raise grain
and hay crops—to live at home on the
farm and make cotton a surplus
money, rather than a ready money,
crop.
Public-Spirited Farmers.
One of the most ardent supporters
of the fair movement is Mr. C. Parker,
president of the C. Parker Company,
a progressive farmer who incidentally
has produced this year In addition to
his cotton enough corn, oats, hay, po
tatoes and hogs to feed his farm,
man and beast, for the next twelve
months. Mr. Parker runs about 250
plows, and while he raises a great
deal of cotton, he raises everything
else In proportion. He Is a strong ad
vocate of diversified farming, and
when he saw In the Five County Fair
an opportunity to demonstrate to his
brother farmer the common sense of
cutting the cotton acreage and to take
advantake of present conditions and
help teach living at hime, he Joined
heartily In the movement.
To Give Away Seed Oate.
Another progressive and public
spirited farmer is Mr. E. G. Dan
iels. of Daniels Sons & Palmer.
Mr. Daniels has profited by rais
ing oats. This year he made a
splendid oat crop. He is deeply
Interested In the fair and has
agreed to give away during the
five days of the fair county
show enough Fulgum seed oats to
get all the farmers In this section
started tn raising them.
Premium lists for the fair are now
being printed and will be distributed
within the next few days. At the fair
particular attention will be given to
the livestock Industry.
