Wiae Dry Goods Company, this morn
ing, “On Saturday wo had a better
day than wa had on tha same day the
pravioue year. Hard timet or good

I am having tha biggest season on

PLAN TO SAVE COTTON CROP.
"If th* option farmer will plpnt

of prop roduction. As soon as
this fact io officially known
through tho doportmont at Wash

WEEMS A. SMITH.
FINANCE GRAIN PLANTING.
The fallowing pledge lias been
planed bjr over two thousand bank I
president* In the South, among whom
Are at tho least four hundred ami i
sixty-five In the stale of Georgts
"My policy will ho to extend
financial aid to those who reduce
N.U ,i ISIS cotton crop one-half, and
to dlacourage In every proper way
the planting of more than half this
year's acreage Ip cotton, the other
half to be planted In gttiln ami
food crops. I will confer with the
supply merchants of thl* comma
rtlty and urge them to adopt the
same policy.'* *
There Is greater potency in this
nitasure for freeing the Kunlhcrn stairs
from the one-crop delusion than in a
resort to Irpinlatton, either by federal
or by state authority. The merchants i
and the banka have this situation In
their handa more than the farmers.
When we realise that almost all of
the cotton In the South ta raised under 1
the tenant ajateui and that a great
number of the tenant* are negroes, get
ting advance loans from their land

ehanta for thetr prospective cotton, we

In ih# Boqth who will be ren

out protecting himself against loss
through very satisfactory assurances
that the cotton acreage will not he

But the problem ta broader and big

DON'T TALK WAR—TALK BUSI
NESS.
it is encouraging to hear so many
people these days tell you business
is good ami getting better every day.
DON'T TALK WAR TALK BUSI
- is the advice given by many
a business man who Is busy himself.
It's good advice for all of us. Don't
talk war, talk business, especially to
a business man who is busy and work
ing harder to get busier as the days
go by.
This section has raised magnificent
crops, the country Is In splendid con
dition. Don’t get worried. The
problem Is to live at home, keep at
work, raise food stuffs Hint livestock,
and store your cotton until a market
springs up.
If not now. one of these days the
world will want every pound of this
| year's cotton crop and will pay a good
! price for 11. Already Kngland Is be
ginning to look ut the South's prob
lem almost as her own. She Is send
ing business men to talk over the sit
uation. She Is sending more ami
more ships to lake the South's cot
t! II
Tin l world cannot get along much
longer on the small takings of the
South’s crop The demand is bound
to come some time for a 1,000 bales
where the demand now Is for 10 bales
Fortiinaisly the South can watt.
She cun treat her cotton crop as so
much money In the hank. Stic can
i pay her debts with cotton and cot
ton warehouse certificates. She can
land will wait until there Is a market
for her cotton amt at fair pricea.
Keep your mind off the price of cot
ton. It doesn’t Interest you <;et
I busy with oats. Prepare to feed cat
tle this winter, meal and hulls are
cheap.
DON'T TALK WAR TALK BUSI

BE SURE TO COMF TO THE
GEORGIA CAROLINA FAIR.
Augusta Is going to put on tills year
one of the best Fall I’slrs In the hls
tory of the Georgia-Carolina Fall
Lair Association, and thl* section of
Georgia and South Carolina will find
at the Fair more to Interest and In
struct thHii ever before.
Aside from the amusement features
without which no fair ta complete,
and which are particularly strong this
year, as announced liy the manage
ment. the Georgia-Carolina Fair Is
going to make a allowing of agricul
tural development, of atock raising,
poultry and pej stock raising, corn,
and grain and hay. that will convince
the moat akepitral that the farmer* of
the South at last sre aide to live at
home, and to live well.
In view of the fact thst cotton pro
duction must he reduced one-half
next year, farmers are going to turn
more and more attention to diversi
fied farming. One of the best places
to get I ntouch with what this sec
tion ts doing will he at the Augusta
i Fair this year
Don’t Rock the Boat
Row! Row! Row!
Just Fitting tight in squally weather won’t do — a
firm pair of hands at th*? oars ia much better.
When the ground swell from Europe hit our in
dustries, the wise men did not merely ait still.
They glimpsed fair water ahead, and saw still fur
ther on the harbor of prosperity.
They began to row and they are getting there.
One of the best pair of oars a business man can
use when things begin to slacken up is definite, con
structive. business building advertising in the daily
newspaper.
Can we tell you how?
INDOOR SPORTS
FARMERS ATTENTION
THE PRICES WE SHOULD RE
CEIVE FOR OUR COTTON SEED
If the oil mills are right, that thev
cannot aftord to pay more than sl2
to sl4 a ton for cotton seed, then cot
ton seed meal should sell for S2O a
ton, hulls at $5 a ton, oil at 30 cents
n gallon and llnters at 1H cents a
pound. On that basis the following
shows cost and profits:
• Receipts.
»00 lbs. meal, at S2O a ton $ R.OO
700 lbs. hulls, at $5 a ton 1.75
300 lbs. or 400 gal's oil, 30c gal. .. 12.00
100 lbs llnters, 1 tyc lb 1.50
Total $23.25
Cost.
! ton seed at sl4 $14.00
Expense of working ton seed.... 6.00
Profit 3.25
Total $53.2.7
We have reliable Information from
a mill that worked Its seed last year
for $4.40 a ton and no one believes
that cotton seed meal will sell for S2O
a ton, or that hulls will sell for $3 a
too. when all other feeding stuffs are
going higher. Cotton seed meal Is as
cheap a cattle or horse feed at $25 a
ton ns corn at 40 cents a bushel, and
It is therefore perfectly ridiculous to
expect cotton seed meal to sell for S2O
a ton when corn Is selling at present
prices.
There Is no escape from the conclu
sion that the mill* are wrong 1n try
ing to depress the price of seed be
low sl6 « ton, and they sre worth S2O
at the present prices of oil, meal and
hulls.
But whether the pdlls are offering
as much as they can" afford to pay, or
less, should make no difference to the
farmer so long as that price la less
than sl6 to S2O a ton. Cotton seed are
worth sl* a ton to the farmer as fer
tiliser and S2O a ton for feeding and
he should not sell a pound of seed for
less than these figures.—The Progres
sive Farmer.
A COTTON GOODS SALE WEEK.
Cities all over tha country are mak
ing preparations to put on a Cotton
Goods Display Week in tho hope of
arousing a greater Interest in the
Wear Cotton Goods Slogan that is
going the rounds. 1 .orally It would
lie a good Idea for the Augusta stores
to co-operate In such a display.
Already one of the Augusta mills
has announced that It will make a dis
play of "Made In Augusta Goods" at
the Georgia-Carolina Fair, and more
and more of these displays ought to
be made at all the Fall Fairs, not only
In the South, hut throughout other
sections of the country.
With foreign Imports falling off,
and with serious Intemipttrß* threat
ened to foreign mills. American mills.
North and South, must soon he called
upon to supply the big domestic trade
as well ss take osre of their share
of the Increased foreign demand that
must soon start up.
This Is ths opportunity for the
American manufacturer, and especial
ly for the Southern mills.

It sat on the organ a minute, and
then that nurse said to my little
mother, ’Give the monkey a piece of
your cookie - ; but when she saw the
monkey’ reach out his long arm and
try' to reach the cookie she was fright
ened, and dropped it right on my lap.
"Then. Bobby Jones, what do you
think happened?”
Bobby shook his head and stared.
“That horrid creature took the
cookie and then he grabbed me, and
before you could breathe he ran up
the side of the house and put me on
a window sill."
“But how did you get down?" asked
Bobby, his eyes very big with excite
ment and wonder.
"That was another adventure,” said
Drusilla. "The window where he put
me was closed, or I might not have
been here to tell you about It. When
he put Tre on the window sill he sat
down beside me, but a dog on the
other side of the glass saw him, and
the way he Jumped about and barked
was something awful. The
monkey ran down to hts master, and
left me Bitting there, with that dog
barking and Jumping at the window,
trying to get at me. Oh! It was Just
dreadful.
“Well, by and by someone came in
to the room where the window was,
and drove out the dog and opened the
window It was a nice-sweet-faced
lady, and she took me in carried ■**
down to my little mother, who was
crying as though her heart would
break.
“That nurse thanked the lady for
bringing me and then said, ‘You
would think this old doll was the
finest doll In the world, she makes
such a fuss over It. She has had sev
eral new ones, but she does not care
for any but Drusilla.’ ”
“But what made you Jump so w’hen
I came out tonight." asked Bobby.
“I guess you would Jump. Bobby, If
a monkey grabbed you up and car
ried you up to a second story window
and left you all alone with a barking
dog. I am nervous." said Drusilla

with the clothes.
