BUSINESS MAN AND BANKER IS FACING THE WAY OUT Herr or* the fact* Ihftt are waking th* South up to n revolution In Its farming, biulmt, anil banking system: "The laat renaua," Mr Hotiaton point* out, "aliowa a lamentable neglect of llv.. stork In the Houth. The average hov.t hum haa *lx milk Cowa; In North Carolina nnd Alnluunu It hit* lean than two; In South Carolina one. "The average lowa farm haa 85 hog*; In North Carolina nnd Ala bama It haa |e*a than five; In South Carolina lean than four. "The average farmer In lowa haa more than 10k head of poultry; In North Carolina and Alabama he ha* Iras than 30; In South Caro lina lea* than 17. "An Investigator recently nnld that the average farm In Georgia produces lean than two egg* a week; lea* than two-thlrdn ounce* of butter, two-third* of a pint of milk; one-third of a hog; 1-13 of a beef; 1-100 of a sheep a year for I #»eh member of the family, nnd the cotton crop of the Mate doea aot pnv the Mate's food and feed MU. "Twelve Southern state* Import fl7k 000,000 worth of wheat, corn and oat* The same Mate* Import Itk.ooo.noo worth of meat, milk and poultry' product*." The South can grow rattle. »heep ■ and hog* a* well e* any other section tof the United State*. There la enough land In the Routh i to grow alt the cattle, hog*, sheep and ! all the feedstuff for hog* that the Southern people could consume. There ore enough fence corner* and unused scrap* of notion patches where the plowman doe* not run out to the end of hie row to produce vegetable* sufficient to feed the Southern people. The labor of one men In the Routh. equivalent to 10 days' working from i sunup to sundcWn. will produce enough ! potatoes, cab hag a tomatoes bean* and I enton* to supply vegetables to the average family. There Is enough waste pasturage In the South to gmr* during the summer cattle sufficient to give us milk and to eat, and bogs sufficient for pork. The ootton seed meal mixed with a ration of other stuff w* could grow In the South would fatten enough hogs and cattle to make us enormous ex porters. If Ilia South went Into diversified farming, there would he work at good wage, lor ever)’ negro on the cotton plantation 300 days In the year. Instead of about 1M days In the year. If the Southern farmer nnd farm la borer* consumed half of their Idle time In giving attention to corn, oat* and live stock, they could produce In this half of their Idle time enough to aupply the South. The Question of dlveralflcatlon la Just as Important If cotton were 1& cent* a pound s* It Is when cotton it now seven cent*. The time will come In this country vnles* the South Itself goes In for live •dock end grain, when the diminished supply grown In the West and the North will command such a high price that we can no longer grow cotton even at It cents a pound and have any money left when we buy mevt and flour at the price* that will prevail. fAt ALA* I FTEJ*- 0M WLI THAT 7HC WES w UPflrj T*tr OLO GAcr 'W'Thl* I IrUOS »TT M oTWCIA niwt ukG AMT- <f 's,\o\ .ii “iA,y* wfm* -» sizz~-\ «* 1 x\X -■ /;|l V<i 01*M£ A Gwv W \ M OCWAJ'.C PuTTWe J fc, krur sfftu J'v/A Awo WANe \ rofc m-VIA/Cr- VI IU.B6TSHCT /\ „ N 0 TtrKTf / % ' / \SUPMtAAT>^PABC.HI A E>J' r J VOVJ FNOW fi J/Cg: AMO J l £ pUNNtWCjOP / , BILLY PIG MEETS MR. DOG AGAIN Part I. When Ihlly Pig awoke and found Mr. Dog asleep you remember he rail away *o he would not have to make any exeunea to Mr. Dog about that dinner hi Mr. Rabbit's houae. He did not have any drees-eult raae or bundle now, and he could run along very fast, so by the lime It wax night Hilly Pig wna neur a farmhouse. lie had lost his cap nnd his elothes did not look very neat, and when the dog who lived there spied him he began to hark, und Billy Pig waa frightened. He crawled under a fence Into a very muddy place, hut he was *af<> from the dog became' the dog waa too large to crawl under as he did. But he harked until Hilly Pig trern hied no he could hardly ntand, and Just aa he was looking about to find a way to escape he heard "Ugh, ugh," right behind him. "W hat I* the matter here?" and Billy Pig turned around and saw u Mg AA/v/y r*OK’£ r/Ve:T> MV mother pig coming toward him. Maybe lie did not run and get close to her "Oh, madam," he exclaimed, "that dog chased me and tried to Mte me. Plea*e let me go home with you for the night; I am on my vacation and I am tired and hungry." "Why, you are In my yard now," eahl the mother pig, walking toward the harking dog, and grunting at hint to tie off don’t look very tidy," said Billy Personal Service Every advertisement In thia newapa ppr is a distinct and definite messenger of personal service.

INDOOR SPORTS - - By Tad Pig. an he walked Into the house of his protector, hut Madam Pig told him ha need not mind, nnd they waded into more mud Inside the houae. "There Is a little supper left." said Madam Pig; "Just help yourself,” she said, leading Billy Pig to a trough where several little pigs were feeding "I do not feel hungry," he said to Madame Pig, "1f you will give me a candle 1 should like to go to my room. I am more tired than hungry.” "There la only one floor to this house,' 1 explained Madam Pig. "Go right over In the corner nnd curl up. YVe will all he there In a few min utes." He could not sleep, and when the lit tle pigs and Madam Pig crawled close beside him and began to push him against the wall he was more uncom fortable than ever. Madame Pig breathed so loudly that he could not sleep and there he laid until morn ing, wide awake. Billy Pig heard steps outside, and up Jumped all the little pigs and their mother and ran out Into the yard. Billy Pig was glad to get tip and he followed, hut before he could get out there all the breakfast the farmer had given them was eaten. Billy l’lg wna hungry and tired, and he was anxious to tie off, so ho thank ed Madam l'lg for her kindness and ran along behind hushes so the dog would not spy him, and was soon on the road again. When Billy Pig came to a hrook. he waded In with his clothes on, for they could dry on him and he would not have to wait Just as he was coming out of the water lie saw Mr. Dog coming along with leaps and bounds. ‘Well, you hav,. given me a nice chase,” he said. "Why didn't you wait for me?" Billy Pig was o surprised nnd con fused that he did not nnswer for a minute and Mr. Dog asked, "Ha# your breakfast?" Billy l’ig confessed that he had not, and Mr. Dog said. "There is a farm house back a little way, come along and see what w* can get.'* "No; I rather go hungry than go bnek there. I slept In a bed of mud lnstnlght . ami the food was so had I could not eat It, besides that thero is a very cross dog there, he chased m* last night." "Well, I think you better travel with THE AUGUSTA HEHALU, AUUUSTA, GA. me," said Mr. Dog, “you need some one to protect you. Come along; we may find another farm house down the road. O-O-O,” he laughed, suddenly, noticing Billy Pig's wet clothes; “don't you look funny!" As they walked along Billy Pig was thinking how he could be rid of Mr. Dog for good, for he did not want to take him home, and he knew that his vacation must end soon. When they came to the farm house Mr. Dog ran Into the yard and barked a good-natured bark, but no one ap peared, and he grew bolder and went to the door, but that was closed; then he went to the pantry window and found It open. Back he ran to Billy rig, "Come quick," he said, “the pan try window Is open and all the folks away. Now I guess we will have a feast.” Tomorrow I will tell you what hap pened. (Continued Tomorrow.

BUSINESS Henry Clews «& Co., says: Despite the war, conditions here affecting American securities are improving In a most encouraging fashion. There is a better feeling In both banking and financial cir cles hating its foundation in posi tive changes for the better. The credit situation has much Improved. Money is redundant and promises to continue easy for some time to come. There is no lack of funds to good borrowers; the accumulation being duo to dull trade, to the return of crop money, to the lowering of reserve requirements front 25 per cent to IS per cent, and to the fact that we nTe In position to draw gold from abroad. Today wo are loaning money to Russia, Canada, Argentina. France. Sweden and else where. The war in Europe and our own strong financial position 'have caused striking shifts In the currents of fiance and trade, which will great ly strengthen the prestige ami pow er of New York as an international credit and money market Many of the transactions now’ taking place here are of course the Immediate consequence of the disturbance in foreign credit, and when the war Is over these factors win disappear, not without, however, leaving New York in a position of advantage consider ably greater than existed before ths European conflagration.

A BIG WAVE OF*PROSPERITY IS COMING. Take Courage. (FYom the Manufacturers’ News.) At the dinner of the Illinois Manu facturers’ Association last week, Con gressman Cannon said, "If you want to know hat is most needed by the people of this country at this time it is courage.” One wishes the venerable statesman had said more upon this subject, but after all, it was enough. Two words would have been enough—take cour age. It Is all that is needed by the busi ness men of this country if they would achieve the greatest prosperity they and their employes ever have known. Notwithstanding the present unsci entific tariff, our exports—thanks to the war overseas —are much greater than our imports. We are retaining our gold, our plants are gradually re suming operation—many of them are being operated at greatest capacity. European nations are eagerly buying our food stuffs and our manufactured products. THE REDUCTION IN ACREAGE. The reasons why we expect a great reduction in cotton acreage next year are cogently and circumstantially stated in the following letter from Moreland, Ga. It is written by Mr. W. A. Brannon, known to us to he a conservative, reliable and successful merchant. To the Editor: The farmers of this section feel muchly encouraged by the manifest interest of the press, trade bodies and business men in establish ing markets for diversified farm pro ducts. Large acreage has been plant ed to wheat and oats, winch will he followed in duo time by vastly in creased planting of corn, peas, etc. It is casually admitted that cotton is selling below cost of production, but does the outside world have much idea how far below cost? I beg to illustrate by a case in point giving name, actual facts and figures, viz.; Mr. J. K. I’olk, a model, industrious farmer of this community, started out January Ist out of debt, with SI,OOO in bank and ample supply of corn, oats and meat for the year. He hired one man at S2O per month to run one plow. Mr. Polk plowed furrow for furrow with the other plow. They made twenty bales of cotton and re placed corn and other supplies, cot ton being hts money crop. After pay ing cash for his fertilizer, labor and incidental expenses, not guess work, but correct bookkeeping, Mr. Polk finds, counting his cotton at 7 cents per pound average, he has received Just sl6 for his year's work, without allowing anything for rent of land, mules and implements, no charges for repairs, taxes, etc. Now lmnglne the condition of tho man who had rent to pay, credit prices for supplies, fertil izer, etc., and you have a correct con ception of the situation. Many renters and croppers are as yet homeless for another year, some from this section goin* to your city hoping to find employment. I do not write this merely to indulge In a vein of pessimism, hut I write with the hope that the efforts of every econo mic statesman and farmer who read* will be stimulated to do his part to ward bringing about the chnnge that roust he made In our agricultural en deavors.

Two men who last week sold Christ mas toys in Kf'v street stood at the rear of the stock exchange. One of them was devoting painful attention to the financial page of a morning newspaper. •"What nre you looking for. Yus* tin?" asked his companion. "For a stock what sells for SO.” Yustin replied.
