Buy a Bale of Cotton
Movement spreading.
The “buy a bale of cotton”
movement, started in Atlanta a
few days ago. seems to be spread
ing like wild-site through Geor
gia and into the other cotton
states. It has been suggested
that if the cotton so purchased
is stored in cotton warehouses,
insured and a warshouse receipt
taken, instead of each individual
storing his bale in the basement
of his home or the back yard,
the receipt will be negotiable
security of high-c'ass on which
money may be borrowed to buy
more cotton or for other purpo
ses, and that the purchasers may
borrow on such receipts in the
aggregate an almost unlimited
amount from business friends in
the north and west., thus avoid
ing the drain of funds from local
banks.
Information from the most re
liable sources, collected by the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
shows that the cotton warehouse
facilities alrerdy existing in
Georgia are sufficient io store al
most one million bales of cotton,
or about forty per cent of the
crop of the state.
If the cotton crop of 1915 is
greatly reduced, as it probably
will be, and the production of
foodstuffs and feedstuffs vastly
increased, as they must be, much
of the cotton warehouse space
will be used for the storing of
non perishable food and feed
crops and the handling of perish
able crops. The Georgia Cham
ber of Commerce is bringing to
the attention of the owners of
the cotton warehouses the fact
that cold storage facilities an
nexed to these warehouses will
prove of great value in next and
succeeding years both in provid
ing for the preservation of
perishable crops and by enabl
ing them to use cotton ware
house space for the handling,
grading ana packing of perish
able crops
As a result of the conference
between the governor and the
Macon delegation, it is probable
that Governor Slaton will invite
the chief executive of every cot
ton growing *tate to meet in
Atlanta at an early date to con
fer over the situation regarding
the enton conference. For
Georgia to move alone w r ould not
bring about any generally
effective developments, it is
believed, hence the importance
of getting all the states interest
ed for united action along some
definite plan. The gravity of the
present situation is being urged
upon Governor Slaton, and it is
believed that a special session of
the general assembly could take
such action as to afford both
temporary and permanent relief.

Our War Problems.
A similar action to the one
taken by the town council at
Barwick, of which we publish in
this issue, could be used to a
great advantage in other towns.
We are not up against the hard
side of life any more so than
these people are. Only the pro
bability of such is evident, if
conditions do not improve before
very long. It is with some like
crossing a bridge before it is
reached. Had you stopped long
enough to think how much bet
ter off we are than the people
are in war ridden Europe? There
are no regiments of hostile
armies marching through otar
countrv, seeking whom they
might devour. Our surroundings
are not to be compared with those
that exist in the war stricken
countries. We have plenty, so
to speak, for the present at least,
and the fact that some of us be
come so much exercised over the
future prospects that it has the
effect of demoralizing those who
would not otherwise be affected.
It is true that practically all of
our business enterprises are
closed down and many are
thrown out of employment and
they will be compelled to endure
it for a while, but their condition
has not reached an alarming
stage. Our fields are white with
cotton—hundreds of acres in
Wheeler county that have never
been picked over, yet the farm
ers are offering an average price
for picking. It is an acknowl
edged fact that the scarcitv of
labor is responsible for this state
of affairs. When conditions
that we hear spoken of so fre
quently really strike this country
conditions will be different to
what they are now. Labor will
not feel its independance as it
does now. We may as well
reconcile ourselves and make the
most of what destiny brings our
way in a time like this.
