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 Help Us Improve Your Service It i* impossible, we realize, to attain perfection. We do em ploy every reasonable means known to the art of telephony to approximate perfection) to our service.

During emergencies and dis asteis the operators are some times unable to answer all calls, but such occasions are rare, in deed. A slow response from the operator is seldom more I than a few seconds and the average call is answered in five seconds. We ask your-co-operation. SOUTHERN BELL TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH CO. 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 Judgment and rebellion at fat* has thrown out of employment and. In many cases, on the charity of the world. We suggeet to merchants generally, and we Inalat on our customer*. «•- 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. GHARI.ES F. NASH. President Nash Hardware Company.

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. ON THE “GRID" IN THE SOUTH Southern Football Command ing a Wider Interest and At tention Than at Any Other 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. 1* S. U. vs Jefferson at Baton Rouge. Randolph-Macon vs. Hampden-Sydney at Richmond.

TACKLES GEORGIA 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.
