Col. S. D. Dell of Hazlehurst, was in
Alamo a few days ago, and was inter- ,
Viewed by a representative of the Ea
gle regarding the movement the farm
ers of Jeff Davis county have on foot i
relative to handling the cotton crop.
A meeting recently held by the farm- ,
ers and business men of the county re
sulted in the call for another gathering ;
when Asa G. Gaudier was expected to be
present to help in promoting the move,
which had been advanced by Col. Dell
which is believed will result in the for
mation of facilities of handling the
cotton of the county to a great profit to
the farmers. He made the following ,
statement: |
“The farmers of the south have a
golden opportunity in front of them if |
they will only, Jake charge of thesit
uation. When I make the statement, ।
I make it because of the fact that
China and South America are cotton
goods using countries, and the cotton
goods going to these countries, statis
tics chow that Germany, France, Bel
gium and England furnish four-fifths 1
and the United States furnish one-fifth, ’
while the United States furnishes
about two thirds of the raw cotton sent
to Other countries. One bale of raw
cotton is worth about S3O, one bale of !
cotton cloth of equal weight is worth ,
about $127. It takes about $27 per bale i

to put the cotton into cloth, therefore
leaving a profit of about SIOO,
The port of Savannah is 907 miles
nearer South America ports than New
York and 2000 miles nearer China than
New York. There are ships in thel,
port of Savannah anxious to take a caJ- (
go to any neutral country. Uncle Beu- ,
ben, there is at least one mill in Geor- ।
gia that will make your cotton into
cloth, and for the service, wiil take toll ,
the same as the miller takes toll of
your corn.
The proposition is, you can come to- ,
gether and pool your cotton and ship
cloth instead of raw cotton, realizing
17 to 20 cents for your cotton on the
pound, This was fully discussed at
a meeting of the farmers of my county, i
and we hope to put the first shipment
on the briny deep bound for China. The
farmer has been skinned so many times
<hat he is naturally suspicious, but Un
cle Reuben, your cottan is as good as
worthless in its present shape, there
fore you are running no risk in tins
plan, and if you take hold of it you will
win out. Now is your chanee. Don’t .
wait. The minute that Jeff ijavis
county puts the thing into operation,
you will begin to see the price of cot
ton climb up. But when it does don’t
be a fool and sell your cotton to the
mill mon or his agent, push this prop
osition and the farmers of the south
will command a big price for this crop
and can by co-operation and contribu
tions, construct one of the largest mills
in this grand old state to be used
to make their cotton into cloth. When
you do that, by every farmer contrib
uting from one to five dollars each you
will be in a position to tell the mill men
of America to go to h—l. The mill men
know of the sale of cotton goods in
these named countries, and, no doubt
have orders, but tney want your cotton
for nothing, so that they will realize
more to put into their coffers.’’

Storage for Cotton.
Bankers can perform a valuable ser
vice at the present time by using every
resource at their command to force
cotton into storage. Large quantities
of exposed cotton is now subject to
great damage. In a letter to President
L. G, Council, Mr. Mills, of Savannah,
says:
“It is our opinion that the planter
will be as great a loser on account of
damaged cotton next Spring when he is
ready to sell as he is damaged by low
prices now. I believe it would do more
good if the Association could bring
about a campaign to make the farmers
protect their cotton than anything they
have ever attempted.”
Commenting on Mr. Lane’s letter,
President Council says:
“I fully agree with Mr. Lane. I
certainly think that it would be well for
our Association to get busy along this
line, and try to prevail upon our far
mers and producers of cotton to store
their cotton in the warehouses and
out of the weather. It is certainly sure
to damage if continued out the weather
and if our banks will take hold of this,
and thoroughly get in behind the mat
ter it will in my judgment help very
materially.
“I might also say further that the
farmers, as 1 see it, should bring their
cotton into the warehouses, if for no
other purpose but to turn over their
receipts to their creditors. In our sec
tion I find many of them are holding
back their cotton on the farms, when
they have obligations that should be
secured at least with the warehouse
receipts for this cotton until finally
sold ”

In memory of Annie Crawford, little
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. E.
Crawford, who died Oct. 22, 1914, mak
ing her stay on earth ten years. She
leaves a devoted father, four sisters
and six brothers.
We feel that our loss is her eternal
gain. She said several times before
she died she wanted to go and be with
her mamma. We feel sure that she is
with her. We hope to meet her some
sweet dav where there will be no more
parting.
Annie was loved by all who knew
her. It is so hard to give her up, our
' loved one we loved so dearly. But we
do not weep as those who have no
hope, for I believe that Annie is rest
ing in the arms of Jesus.
' Little Annie has gone to rest,.:
To reign with God forever blest.
Her li.tie tongue will always praise
A Savior’s redeeming grace.
God needed one more angel among his
shining band,
go he reached down for her and clasped
her little hand.
We can’t see why she had to go and
leave us here behind,
But we can only bow to God.
To ease our trouble mind
We go mourning every day,
' We cannot help but weep,
■ Our hearts are so sad and lonely sines
Annie fell asleep.
1 would say to her dear father, sis
ters and brothers, weep not for you can
. go to her some sweet day where you
wiil never have to part May God rec-
i J oncile them to his holy will.
Mrs. D. L. Oqiinn.
