Are you a conservative optimist or a habitual pessimist? Farmers these days are developing into pretty good active business men. Augusta’s territory In Georgia and South Carolina has the Se6t crop prospects in years. Cotton is selling at a big round figure. Buy ers are eager and ready to engage the growing crop for Fall Delivery and the good business men and farmers in this territory are making these sales at good prices and in increasing number. At a reasonable calculation the farmers of this section have already sold for Fall Delivery, in the past few weeks, some 60,000 bales of cot ton. In round figures this is something like 3 and 3-4 millions of dol lars that will come Into the hands of the farmers of Georgia and South Carolina who have sold ahead these 60,000 bales of cotton. Nearly four million dollars worth of cotton, raised in this territory is no small sum but this is hardly one-fifth of the actual cotton and re ceipts that will pass through Augusta this Fall. At these same fig ures and ratio there will bo a business in cotton alone this Fall of near ly t 9 millions dollars that will come into the hands of these farmers who trade with Augusta. MR. MERCHANT AND MR. BUSINESS MAN, it looks like Augus ta is going to have its hands full in properly catering to and caring for this immense volume of trade—the best that Augusta has had in years- AND THE TIME TO DO THIS BUSINESS, is to prepare for it now. The wise farmers are already marketing a portion of their crop, selling it ahead at the present high prices, they have plaoed some 60,000 bales and have contracts for nearly four millions already in their pockets, and the indications are that a great deal more will be sold In the near future. oust as the farmers are marketing their crop ahead, just so surely is it up to Augusta to prepare herself in all lines of trade to fill the big and generous orders that are hers if she hustles. AND THE TIME TO DO BUSINESS IN 30 DAYS OR SO IS TO GET READY FOR IT NOW. SEVERAL PLEAS IN CITY COURT pleas were entered in the city [ a rt Saturday afternoon.
