He Says Sell and Settle and
Business Will Open
The following is from the Atlanta
Constitution:
The Constitution has received serv
ers! rfjrpiests from members of the
Rotary Club to publish the letter that
was read at the recent mid-day lunch
eon of the club by Mr Charles P. King
of Atlanta, general southern represen
tative pales agent of tho American
Iron and Hteel Manufacturing Com
pany. of Pennsylvania The letter was
from Mr. Charles K. Nash, president
of the Nsah Hardware company, of
Fort Worth. Texas, one of the strong
est business firms In the southern
states.
Mr. Nash, president of the company,
wrote a general letter to the retail
trade of the south, copy of which ho
sent to Mr King, his representative In
Atlanta When Mr. King was called
on at Tuesday's meeting for his views
of the situation generally, he said that
he could not hope to make a clearer
cut presentation of conditions than
that made In the letter of Mr. Nash,
the reading of which was listened to
with Intense Interest by the assem
bly.
President Nash's Letter.
The letter Is as follows:
To the Retail Trade: We are not In
the cotton business, but we know
enough to say that an article or a
Commodity Is only worth what It will
bring when It Is offered for sale. If 8
cents per pound, or even 7 cent* per
pound, Is fill that a farmer can get

for cotton, then that Is all cotton 1*
worth, regardless of what It costs to
raise It.
It. Is said that a farmer cannot raise
cotton at less than ID cents per pound,
yet a great many farmers got rich, or
at least Independent, raising It at 7
cents per pound, and that was when
everything else that he raised was sold
at a very much lower figure than Is
ruling today. Besides this, he didn't
get $7 per bale for seed, as he gets
today.
We give you the following compari
sons:
He buys a hoe for 50 cents that used
to cost 75 cents.
He buys a file at 15 cents that used
to cost 35 cents.
He buys a singletree at 35 cents that
used to cost 60 cents.
He buys a sweep at 8 cents that used
to cost 15 cents per pound.
He buys a plier at 76 cents that used
to cost $2.
He buys nails at 4 cents that used
to cost 5 cents per pound.
He buys wire at 3 1-2 cents that
used to cost 10 cents per pound.
He buys hames at 50 oents that used
to cost 75 cents.
lie buys traces at 45 cents that used
to cost 76 cents.
He pays 60 cents for picking, where
he used to pay ss!.
He borrows money at 8 to 10 per
cent, where he used to pay 12 and 15
per cent.
He sells wheat at. $1 that used to
bring 60 cents.
He sells oats at 80 cents that used
to bring 18 cents.
He sells corn at 75 cents that used
to bring 16 cents.
He sells hay at sl4 that used to
bring $4.
Ho sells turkeys at $2.25, and some
times $4. that used to bring 60 to 75
cents.
He sells chickens at $3.60 that used
to sell at $1.25 to $1.50 per dozen.
He sells a horse at $l5O to $225 that
used to sell from SSO to SIOO.
When he was confronted with the
above conditions he bought land on
time, cleared It, fenced it, and soon
paid for It, raising catton at 7 cents
pgr pound. But if. indeed, he Is mak
ing less profit this year than formerly,
tho same condition Is true with you,
and with us. and with the business
world at large. He ought not to put
himself In the attitude of a mendicant
or, os the Indian, a ward of the gov
ernment. He ought to he a good sport.
He ought to take hts losses just as
manfully and as gracefully as the rest
of ijh are doing.
While the above figures are not ab
eolutely correct, nevertheless they are
accurate enough to demonstrate that
the fanner Is getting the best ot the
situation and 1* enjoying life, while the
balance of us are sweating blood. The
retail merchant owes it to htmself to his
Jobber and to his hank, to Insist on the
fanners selling at least a part of their
cotton. A man has an unquestioned
right to speculate on his own money,
hut he has no right to speculate on
the other fellows’* money. The fanner
has a right to hold his cotton till
doomsday. If he does not owe any
thing luit he has no right whatever
to hold hts cotton to the financial em
barrasament of the retail merchant
who alnce spring has clothed and fed
hi* wife and children and furnished
him with the means to make that cot
ton It Is hard on the farmer to ha
disappointed about the price, which
he thought he was going to get, but It
la a whole lot harder on the retail
merchant to go broke because the
farmer won’t sell his cotton and pay
hts honest debts. The conditions are
not half as hard on him as on the re
tail and wholesale merchants who
are losing hundreds and thousands of
dollars because the farmer, by holding
his cotton, has stopped the entire ma
chinery of business Nor It Is quite as
hard on him as on the thousands of
hungry men and women which his had

pectally, pressing the farmer to tell his
cotton and pay hts debts, that the re
tail merchant may pay hts debts, and
that we may also pay our debt*. These
remarks may appear to you somewhat
gratuitous, at the same time they are
wall worthy of your thoughtful con
sideration.

DREADFUL PAINS
GREAT SUFFERING
Was the Lot of This Lady Who
Tells The Story of How She
Recovered Her Health.
Dallas, N. O.—Mrs. Thomas Davis,
of this place, says: "About two years
ago, when I was eighteen years old, I
was in a bad condition from womanly
troubles. I fell off until I weighed not
more than 85 lbs.
I suffered dreadful pains In my hips,
sides and abdomen, for about 5 days
out of every month.
I couldn’t sleep at night, and the
pains were so dreadful X couldn't lie
down for the blood would seem to
rush To my head.
I felt I must have some relief, for
it seemed that the awful suffering
would surely kill me.
I had read of what Cardul had done
for others, and thought I would try It.
After the use of one bottle, the
pains had entirely stopped and I was
able to sleep.
After using four bottles, I was a
well woman, I was regular, I got back
my flesh, and I now weigh 126 lbs.;
and am able to do all my work with
out any trouble.
I certainly recommend Cardul to
suffering women, for I know it cured
me.
My friends who saw me when I
weighed 85 pounds and would see me
now, would know what Cardui had
done for me."
Try Cardul.

Southern Football Command
ing a Wider Interest and At

Previous Time.
Atlanta, Ga—Southern football today
commanded a wider Interest and atten
tion than at any previous time during
the present season. With the last of
the "conditioning" games played and
th* various elevens whipped Into shape,
today s contests on a majority of th*
gridirons of the South assumed the im
portance of major events.
Interest chiefly centered In the North
I'oroltna-Vanderbilt game at Nashville
and that between Georgia and Vander
bilt at Charlottesville. Of ecarcely less
importance wrt-e the Tennessoe-Alabama
contest at Knoxville, the Auburn-Missis
sippi A. and M. clash at Birmingham
and the battle between Texas and Okla
homa at Dallas. (
Cooler Weather.
Generally cooler weather over the
South gave promise of fast football
everywhere.
Other Important gomes In the South
today Included:
Georgia Tech vs. V. M. 1. at Atlanta.
Sewanqe vs. FltS-ida at Jacksonville.

TECH FOR FIRST TIME
Atlanta, G».—For the first time in the
history of the two Institutions the
elevens of Georgia Tecta and the Vir
ginia Military Institute wore to meet
on the gridiron here today. Because
the V. M. 1. team has not previously in
vaded this section, little was known In
advance as to th* relative strength ot
the opposing elevens. Fbothall experts
however, predicted a spirited, hard
fought game.

England Says Belgians Will Be
Looked After, But Gigantic
Scale Required in Holland.
London, 3:35 a. m.—" England can
and will look after the Belgian re
fugees In Great Britain,” say* the
Daily Chronicle in an editorial today,
"but our duty does not end here, Hol
land Is a small country and. with the
heavy burden imposed by the war it
is not right that she should be left to
struggle unaided with the problem of
housing and feeding a million refu
gees. We hold it is obligation of
honor for Great Britain to come to her
rescue.
“As for the problem of the Belgians
left in our own country the need for
relief operations on a gigantic scale
is self-evident. We rejoice that the
American people have taken the lead
in the organization of funds to deal
with this tremendous problem. This
compassionate movement deserves
generous support In England as well
as America.”
