short STORIES and none will be contin-

fortunate i'll being the ,nly
paper in the county that will publish

When you took it all for granted and

folly wisdom bought,

Deal for Consolidation Of Steel Prop
critics In South Seems cinehed.
Definite form has been given to the
NEGOTIATIONS for the merger OF south
ern iron companies through the inter
vention of the project Of the leading
houses Of Blair & Co. and Ladenburg,
Thalman & Co of New York.
The banking houses would not dis
cuss the progress which the transac-
ton has made, but said that some ar-
rangements through them for the con-
solidation might be reached. One OF
the bankers said that all reports OF
a completion of the transfer were pre-
mature.
Besides the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company, the Sloss-Shefield and
the Alabama Consolidated, it is ex-
pected that the Pioneer plant Of the
Republic Iron and Steel company and
possibly one or two smaller concerns
will be included in the merger.
The capitalization and liabilities OF
these three properties is in the neigh
borhood Of 100000, and it will
be on this basis with additions Tor
working capital that the capitalization
Of the new company will be formed.

THE WORK OF TRAITORS.

A Few Merchants and Bankers Ara
Attempting to Hoodwink Farmers.
Additional schemes are being re-
sorted to by some few merchants and
some few bankers, so It Is understood,
by which they are urging their Gus
toners to plant more cotton than, ever
before, because of the fact that the
acreage is going to be reduced all over
the south. They tell the farmer that
now is his chance to make big thin8
for, as everybody else is going to
cut down his crop, why, he can 90
ahead, plant big one and reap the
profits of the high prices.
Now, Of course, If the farmers took
this advice, there would be no reducs
ton Of acreage this year. But, for
tunately, there are only a few farmers
who have such little patriotism or.
such little regard for his neighbor
who will take advantage OF them in
such a mean way.
People who are giving such advice
are being branded as traitors all over
the south.
