IS OPTIMISTIC
International President of As
sociation Tells Press in At
lanta Will be Boom in Busi
ness in Six Months.
Mr. Frank L. Mulholland, of Toledo,
International president of the Asso
ciation of Rotary Clubs, was in At
lanta yesterday as a guest of {Tie local
Rotarians, and predicted confidently,
according to Monday afternoon’s
Georgian, a boom in six months in the
financial situation for the South and
the entire country.
“Optimism is the keynote of the
Rotary Clubs, and it must be for trade,
organisations in the United States,”
declared Mr. Mulholland. “Already
X think the business situation is great
ly Improved, and I predict that in six
months we shall enter" upon a period
of the greatest prosperity in our his
tory.
"The world has got to be fed, cloth
ed and sheltered, and the United
States is in a position to supply the
demand. The South especially is for
tunate in the possession of cotton,
which will be needed in great quanti
ties to clothe the soldiers of Europe.
“One of the best signs that the
South will prosper almost immediate
ly is England’s declaration that she
will hold up no cotton at sea, intended
either for the Allies or for hostile
forces. England's mills are bound to
open, and soon a steady stream of cot
ton will find its way to them, and I
do not doubt at good prices.
"In six months this country will re
cover entirely from the war, and we
shall gain tremendously. I don’t con
sider the present situation oven a
temporary loss. It is simply a post
ponement. Up to this year I had
never seen more than one bale of cot
ton in Toledo, and new there are 60
in front of a single store. The East
and West are willing to help their
neighbors in the South and they don’t
consider it charity.
“As an evidence of prosperity I can
also point to the tretnendous business
reported by the Overland Automobile
Company of Toledo, which is turning
out 295 cars a day and giving employ
ment to 13,000 persons.”

“We are now advised by Brazilian

ACADEMY [[EVEN
GOES TO SPARTA
To Play Tenth District Aggies.
Game Here Saturday With
Savannah High School Ex
pected to be Hard Fought.
The announcement of the game to
be played Saturday botween Rich
mond Acadentp and Savannah High
school has already aroused a great
of Interest. The rivalry between
these, the two oldest high schools in
the state, Is especially keen and any
athletic contest in which the two
teams engage each other is certain
to be hard fought. In 1913 the count,
so sap as regards number of games
won and lost stood 2-2, Savannah win
ning two fotball games the locals both
baseball battles.
The 8-7 Game Last Season.
Those who saw the football game
here between these two teams last
year will long remember It. The
Academy had been defeated 20-7 in
Savannsh and were thirsting for
vengeance. This meant that the game
was for blood all the way through.
Savannah scored In the early part
of the game, failing to kick a goat,
giving them 6 points. In the early
part of the third period, the locals
pushed one over, kicking goal, and the
score stood 7-8. From this time for
ward neither side seemed to be able
to gain any advantage. With about
one minute to play, Davis’s punt was
blocked by a Savannah lineman and
George Shea fell on it behind the lo
cal's goal line, giving the opponents
(wo points and the game.
Savannah Defeats Piedmont Institute.
Saturday the Savannah aggregation
played the heavy Piedmont Institute
hunch to 0-0 tie on the grounds of
their opponents. Reports are to the
effect that'the team is stronger that
last year, practically every old man
being returned. “Money” Hutton, who
played such a star end for Tech some
time ago is coaching the team again.
Hutton Is a most capable coach, and,
given any sort of material, can turn
out a good team. ,
Academy goes to Sparta Tomorrow.
The Academy team goes to Sparta
tomorrow for a practice game wi’h
the Tent:, district Aggies. The aggies
have not shown up nearly so well as
last year, the team being built up
from new material entirely. The tea-n
Is reported to be heavy—about 150
pounds average—but Inexperienced.
The game was scheduled for the pur
pose of trying out some new defen
sive formations. Several weak spots
in the defensive play were noted In
the Riverside game and the coaches
are determined to cover these up. No
effort will be made to pile up a score,
the team playing on the defensive as
far as possible. It is likely that there
will be one or two shifts In the line
up the coaches not being altogether
satisfied with the way some men
showed up Thursday. Coach Learned
will acompany the team and direct the
style of play.

COTTON THIS WEEK
New Orleans.—The price of cotton
again dropped to lower levels last week,
middling spots closing at cents a
pound, the lowest of the week, and the
lowest In several years, whfj. January
contracts at one time stood at 6.95,
closing at 7 cents. In the Interior prices
at the cheapest markets went down
around 6 cents, Dallas quoting at that
level after the middle of the week,
A contributing factor to the decline
waa the refusal of Insurance companies
to take wav risks on cotton shipped In
neutral bottoms to neutral ports. The
Influence of this was seen In the week's
exports, which were smaller than for
the preceding week, the figures being
62,190 bales against $7,636 last week and
145,643 the corresponding week last year.
Exports for the season now amount to
197,471 balsa agalrqa 2.079,616 balsa dur
ing the same perlom two years ago.
This week the conference between the
leading financier* of this country and
England will be watched by the cotton
trade with the greatest Interest because
of the growing belief that they will lead
to plana that will accomplish the re
opening of the future markets.

AUGUSTA PLANS
FOR BASEBALL
NEAT TEAR
Enthusiastic Meeting Last
Night of a Number of Local
Fans-—Tenor of Pledges As
sures Baseball _Lea gu e
Meeting Wednesday.
A godly number of Augusta's base
ball fans met last night with President
E. G. Kalbl’leisch, of the Augusta
Baseball Association, at the new Plaza
Hotel at 8 o’clock.
President Kalbfleisch will represent
the local club at the league meeting in
.Savannah Wednesday, which meets for
the purpose of winding up all of last
season’s business. Before Mr. Kalb
fleisch goes down to Savannah he
had to know just how the local fans
stood on the subject of baseball in
Augusta for the 1915 season.
Judging from the meeting, which
was enthusiastic, “get-to-getherlsh”
and all-in-all rather moneyistic, it Is a
settled fact that Augusta will be rep
resented In the Sallie again next year.
Just as an example of the confidence
of having baseball here again, Presi
dent Kalbfleisch has already mailed
three contracts (try-outs) to young
sters who are quoted as cracker
jacks. In regards to a manager:
Several prospective ones are being
communicated with.
A few of the trials of the club last
year, In regard to dropping several
valuable players because of insuffic
ient funds, were brought up. Tho.->a
present did something more than Inti
mate that the club of 1915 would
have sufficient financial backing.
With more experience, several ball
players owned by the club, a fence
that is also owned, and which will
bring something in the advertising
line, a grund-star.d that cost SI,OOO to
repair last year, and therefore will not
tost very much this year, club uni
forms and many other assets, why
there's nothing to keep Augusta from
having a progressive ball club during
the 1915 season—once more there ,1s a
promise of the financial backing.
That little meeting last night was am
undeniable success.

Degrees. Is First Energetic
Cold Wave of the Season.
Washington. Winter's .first
warning touch in the country cast
of the Great Central Valleys was
felt and promised killing
frosts in the middle Atlantic
states and in South probably as far
as the Gulf States and northern
florida. A tropical disturbance
several hundred miles east of
Florida was accompanied bv low
pressure northward to the Gulf
of St. Lawrence.
The first frost of the season is pre
dicted by Forecaster E. D. Emlgh for
Tuesday night, with a temperature
between 86 and 40 degrees. Tho
weather conditions will remlan fair,

day morning from many places
throughout Oklahoma, and also from
some parts of Texas and Arkansas.
In Oklahoma the temperature drop
ped as low as 26 degrees and In Texas
and Arkansas as low as 28 degrees.
Tuesday morning’s Cotton Region
Bulletin, issued from the local weath
er office, said: "Decidedly cooler
weather prevails in all districts, kill
ing frost reported from many Okla
homa stations tills morning and tho
temperature being neur the frost
stage in all middle and western dis
tricts, excxept near the gulf coast.”
Clear Weather.
In the Augusta district the obser
vations made at 8 o’clock Tuesday
morning, as shown by the bulletin,
indicated clear weather prevailing in
every place except Allendale, where

9th, and the earliest date a killing
frost has ever been recorded here was
October 21st, in 1891. The latest
killing frost ever recorded here was

CITY AUGUSTA
BONDS
Clerk of Council, Wililam Lyon
Martin Being Asked for Infor
mation by Bond Houses,
Showing Market is Not Dead.
Mr. Win. Lyon Martin, clerk of coun
cil, Is receiving some inquiries regard
ing the sale of $260,000 of city of Au
gusta bonds, bids for which will be
opened on the 121): of November. It
is believed that the bonds will bring a
good price, considering conditions. City
of Augusta bonds under normal con
ditions are sold at a premium and
while it is, of course, not expected
that the bonds to lie offered now will
bring a premium, still a good price is
anticipated.
The fact that inquiries are coming
in for details concerning the bonds Ih
very gratifying to tlie city officials. It
shows that the bond market is not
dead by any means.
The bonds are being advertised in
the Chicago Tribune and the Wall

FORM KILPATRICK
BAPTIST ASS’N
Meeting is Being Held at
Thomson Tuesday. Fifteen
Churches Have Withdrawn
From Hephzibah Association.
A meeting Is being held In Thom
son for the purpose of forming the
Kilpatrick Baptist Association. A
story to the effect that shell an asso
ciation would he formed appeared In
The Herald recently. Fifteen churches
In the Hephzibah Association have
withdrawn from the Georgia Asso
ciation. The reason for the formation
of the new association Is because the
two associations in this section of
Georgia have grown so large as to
be unwieldly and the distances from
one side of these associations to the
other are so great as to render it very
inconvenient for delegates to travel
to the annual meetings.
Then, too, there is a pretty senti
ment behind the formation of the Kil
patrick Association. Dr. Washington
R. Kilpatrick, of Hephzibah, and Dr.
J. H. Kilpatrick, of White I’lains,
were moving spirits In the Hephzibah
and Georgia Associations, respective
ly, and it is planned to honor their
memories. These two Baptist minis
ters, sons of a pioneer Baptist divine
in this section of the Empire State
of the South, probably did more for
the Baptists of Georgia than any ottier
two men ever within the boundaries
of the state. They led consecrated
lives and were powers for good.
