In an Interest lng article In a recent ißsite of the “Country Gentleman," on cotton liy Barton W. Currie, tho writer declares then urn six known profits in cotton which ho describes us fol lows; First—l’roducera' profit. Second- Merchant s' profit. Third—Factors' profit. Fourth —Buyers’ or exporters’ profit. Fifth—Selling brokers' prdflt (Liv erpool). Sixth—Buying brokers’ profit (I.lv jerpnol) and "then nt lust the Kttgllsh spinner has Ills American cotton and can go abend and make his manufac turer’s profit.” ThlH Interesting article of Mr. Bur rle's Is well worth reading, in the light of recent events, and what tho South must faco for tho future. This year the South has ma.lo a magnificent crop of cotton, one of the largest on record. Costing, ns the government estimates II cents a pound to raise cotton and nt present Helling prices around 7 l * cents the producers’ profit Is eliminated and showß a loss. However, with the exception of tha producer there Is no reason why the other five profits that attach to the handling of the cotton crop should not be made this year as usual. They may he delayed In the taking, but there Is no reason why they shouldn’t i.e made ns usual by the middleman before this cotton reaches the English apt nner. The merchant who hns made ad vances to the farmer or producer <an at least get paid In cotton, and tills cotton In turn Is finding Its way to the factor's warehouses day after tlnv, to serve as collateral for the advances made to the merchant and f irmer. Augusta Is going to handle more cotton this year than last year mid Is going to make a bigger profit out of It Augusta along with other ware house town of the South Is storing enormous storks of cotton which are being gradually marketed, as the de mand permits. Augusts will make In addition to the tisusl commissions ns this large stock of cotton Is sold, an additional storage charge of from I>*.ooo to >IO,OOO a month over the usual chnrges for handling the cot ton crop of this section. More cotton Is stored In Augusta nnd will he hold longer than ever before. Augusta factors have secured lib eral advances for the farmers and country merchants on this lari e stock of cotton which has turned loose at lease SIOOO.OOO In this section. Most of this money has come from other sections of the country -as very lit tle money Is loaned by the local banks for storing and holding purposes Over >O,OOO bales of this season’s receipts have been oold In the A«t guata market and thla repreaents ap proximately another M.OOO 000 of for eign and oulalde money that has been turned loose In this section. In other words Augusta nnd th’.s trade territory has received the actual cash benefit. In aales nnd loans on Its cotton, of approximately >*,*oo.o*o. which has gone Into the channels of local trade, to liquidate debts, pay ac counts, adjust hnlances. etc. The panic Is over, times are getting better every (lav As soon ns the far mers of the South demonstrate that they have cut the arreage. cotton Is going up for then this year’s crop will have to he called upon to supply the deficiency of next year's crop The South can carry thla year's surplus without difficulty and mnka a profit on It when it demonstrates that It has cut 'he screefor next year i I l ooww/i -rvtr\l VOO ■ M u alv*j*~w „oboon j I JftfcaD oß*rfT- A Trtfc 6*m£ - A/Nr- hAJ BOW A 3 \ BUTW e B I!

The Mir.i.ah Circle of the King's Daughters had for some years several old women under their care for whom they paid house rent. Mrs. C. A. Rowland was leader of this circle and Mrs. \V 11. Warren, vice-leader. Mrs. Howland while talking with Mrs. War- Ten one day, said she wished they could own a home where these women could bo placed and all cared for to gether. Mrs. Warren at once com menced to set* what could be done. The first thought was a lot on which to hulhl a home, so Mrs. Rowland and Alls. Warren called on the mayor of the city, at that time. Mr. Alfred Alur tln, and talked with him In regard to this. The result w»s, that a lot was given on upper Broad street They then commenced to sec about getting contributions of money and building materials toward building a home on this lot, and a sufficient amount was given to warrant their cummeitclns to build a home. A public appeal was then made thmugh the city papers, August 3rd, 1895. The first contribu tion after this appeal was from tho Y M. C. A baseball club. Other amounts followed, and soon there was quite a snug little sum in the bank. Many of the elttsens contributed but Dr Eugene Foster, Mr. .lohn W. Dick ey, and Mr James Dawson were spe cially Interested nnd were very gen erous 111 their gifts. Mr. H. H. King, Mr. James Tobin. Mr. Jacob Phtnizy, Miss Lewellyn Goodrich, mid Mr John R. Schneldef were also liberal contributor*. Vary material help waa given In donations o< building materials from Mr. W J. Rutherford, McCoy Brick A Tile t’o„ Merry Brothers, Hagler. Hanklnson I trick Go, Rossignol & O'Keefe, Au gusta Brick Co., Youngblood Lumber Co, I’rrMns t.umber Co., Woodward Lumber Co. A. It. McDaniel, F. C. Meyers, iVveny, Hood ft Co. li is certainly a pleasant retrospect to recall the names of so many who n ade II possible for this home for the aged to be built. When the lot was given no deed was given. Mrs. A\ht rrn and Mrs Howland realising the Importance of securing n deed called upon the mayor In regard to this. There had been a change In the ad ministration by that time nnd It was found that Mr. Jacob Phlnlry who was llie mayor at that time, through some misunderstanding had sold the lot An animal was then made to tha mayor and ettv council for another lot. which was promptly given. This was April 26th. 1901, A deed to this lot was given May 4th. 1901, with the plat of the lot attached. Tilts had to be used by tho contractor and was lost by ht-m, so another ri«v*d waa given June 2Mb. 1904. The house was moved Hnd plans wore Iw'lng made for repairs when Mrs. Warren died It was found that Mrs Warren had left In her wilt, a sufficient amount, wilt) what had been already given, to build a new home, nnd the plan that she had sug gested was used for the building. This plan was drawn by Mr. I- F. Goodrich without charge and he also superintended the building of the homo without any remuneration The de voted love ail the members of the Mls poh Circle had for Mrs. Warren made I them decide at once to call the Home for her. feeling It would be a beauti ful memorial, and It was named The Mary Warren Home for the Aged. The building of the Home was commenred 1n July. twit, and completed In Oeto- I tier of the same tear. The first two I Irwntes of the Home moved In eoon I after Its completion The next two I Initiates Airs Sarah and Miss Klvy Evans, well-known and Iwdovcd by I o any In the city for their beautiful I lives, moved Into the Home December j Ist, 1903, and tt was a singular coinci dence (I tat tt was Mr* Warren’s birth day.* <*n December 20th, 1993 there whs a formal opening, when there was religions services hv Rev John Chlp otan followed by an address bv Pr Plunkett, It wits cause for Ihanks xlving it it rejoicing that u'ter eight >ears sinoe the building of the Home was first conceived, hopes hnd been realized atvl brought to fruition. INDOOR SPORTS The cost of building the original Home of fjve rooms was $1,491. After Capt. Warren’s death It was found that he had left a bequest to the Home and with that two other rooms were added at a cost of $550. When the Home was completed, Mrs. Rowland wrote a letter to each circle in the City Union and the Summer ville Circle, asking If they would like to unite with the Mi/.puh Circle In the support of the Mary Warren Home for the Aged, hut all replied that they would he unable to assist, with the exception of the Lucy Alexander Me morial Circle, and this circle, with the Mlxpah Circle, hns since then assumed the support of the Home. The hoard of managers are equally represented by members from these two circles. The original hoard was composed of the following members: Mrs, S. J. Pinkerton, honorary president; Mrs C. A. Rowland, president; Mrs. W. M Butt, vice-president; Mrs. D. Shaver, secretary; Mrs. Addison Wolsiger. treasurer; Mrs. J. L. Bowles, Mrs. Abe Ellis, Mrs. J. 11. Hollingsworth, Mrs. H. M. North. Mrs. Wareon Duvall, Mrs Mannle Walton. Miss Genevia Garrett, Mrs. J. W. Wallace. The Home has been supported hy voluntary contribution and from en tertainments that have been given from time to time. God has certainly watched over nnd blessed this work. It would not be known one month where the money would come from for the next month’s expenses, hut His loving care provided the needed amount and the money nlways came, sometimes in an unexpected way. The Home has been Messed by be quests from Mrs Dowdy, Atrs. Hall, and Mrs. Pinkerton, the Income from which has been most helpful. Resil l/.lng that the Inmates were too feeble to do their own cooking, the thought of building a kitchen and having some one to cook for them was considered. The necessary amount was raised and the kitchen built in 1909 at a cost of $409.70. Mrs. Bentley, the first matron, had charge for nine or ten months. After she left Mrs. Itoscher anil Miss Sadler each for a month or two, then the present matron, Mrs. Thurmonij, who has been In charge since December 13th, 1905 Mrs. Tourn.ond Is very efficient and faithful, guarding tho In terest of the Home with a watchful eye and Is devoted ot her care of and attention to the inmates of the Home. The present board of directors Is: Mrs. (\ A. Rowland, president; Mrs. Mannle Walton, first vice-president: Mrs, I'. Shaver, second vice-president: Mrs Waroen Duvall, third wt-prut* dent; Mrs. J. H.

AN AMERICAN MADE CHRISTMAS A 111 i i i Christmas novelties and especially Christmas Toys have hitherto come from abroad in large numbers.
