SAVED STATE $50, 600, 600
is CLAIM OF GEORGIA DIVISION
OF COTTON ASSOCIATION.
The Grounds for Appeal to the People
for Aid in Carrying OH the Work
of the Association.

H Following his recent call for volun-
tary subscriptions for carrying on the
work of the Georgia division of the
Southern Cotton Association, Presi-
dent M. L. johnson has given out a
statement demonstrating the results
which have been attained in this state
as a reason why Georgians who are in"
Eerested in the prosperity of their state
should respond to his call. President
johnson has received number of re-
8sponses from various sections of the
state with checks enclosed, but the
result has by no means been such as
ne felt justified in expecting.
''It is my purpose" he said, Ito
publish a roll of honor of those who
nave responded to this call for volun-
5ary subscriptions, and l trust that
while there is yet time the people of
Georgia will see to it that this roll is
a long and interesting one.
zone writer who enclosed his check
said: Whether your association has
accomplished all you claim for it or
not, it is nevertheless true that we
must organize, remain organized and
press the work, if we are to accomplish
anything
Claims Millions Have Been Saved.
LET me present a few facts. l
claimed that we had saved Georgia be-
tween 10000 and $4,000, GOO.
Let's see. In 1897-98 and 1898, 80 the
south produced a total of %, Ala, 1874
bales. The average New York price
for the two crops was ell cents. The
crops of 19O4-O5 and l9O5-O6 total ap-
proximately "a, 100000 bales, about
1,5O0, 900 bales more, and for these we
will average practically l03 cents
middl'ng, New York.
THUS the last two crops will aver
age more than 4 cents per pound over
the first two named. Who did it? The
people under the banner and organ
.ization of the Southern Cotton Asso-
citation. 1t is true that Providence
smiled on Georgia in giving us
abundant returns from the field, but
would the crop ever have been mark
Ieted to such advantage had it not
been for the work of the Southern
Cotton Association? In my opinion
this would have been impossible.
''Supposing we have added only
four cents a pound to the price-$20
bale-what is the result in Georgia :?
.Georgia's estimated crop for these
two years is 1851, 600 bales. A simple
process of multiplication shows that
the result has been saving to Geor-
gia of $72, $40, 900! Think of that i'm
.mense amount of money brought into
the state through the work, in large
part at least, of the Southern Cotton
Association.
why the People Should Contribute
81 understand we have friends who
say they would like to help us fnan-
cially, but that they think ten cents IS
enough. The crop of 19O4-05 did not
average that price, and does not,
therefore, furnish an excuse. That
crop and the last one together aver
aged so little over ten cents that, | am

EDITOR PARAGRAPHS.

THE late Marshall Field, who was
one of the worlds greatest merchants,
laid down and adhered to certain sim
pie rules for the conduct of his bust
ness. Some of the rules were never to
borrow, never to speculate, to buy
and sell for cash, to try to sell more
quickly than others, to aim to give
better quality for the same price than
others, and the same quality at lower
price, and to hold customers to strict
meeting of their bills. Good rules, all
of them.
