Macon as a Cotton Market.

That Macon is the best cottol
market IN this section is evidenced
by the fact that merchants ani
planters bring cotton here from
competing points and when ready
to sell not only try the buyers
here but those in adjacent towns
which inyaribly results in the Ma.
con buyers having the best price.
An instance of this kind occurred
no later than last week when a
hundred bales of cotton were put
on the market and buyers from
West Point and Meridian put in
bids, but with the usual result
that the Macon buyer hal the
best price. We do not mean to
claim that the Macon buyers have
better connections than buyers at
other points but we do claim that
they have their business so well
systemati2ed that they can handle
cotton at a smaller cost than the
buyers at other places. This
means a good deal to the seller as
every item Of expense has to be
deducted before bid is submit
ted.
During the past year Macon has
put in a fine system Of water.
works and consequently a mini
mum insurance rate has been re-
ceiyed by the installation OF water
main in the cotton yards, aud in
addition Macon has as fine volun-
teer fire department as can be !
found anywhere which will bring
the fire loss to minimum. The
compress and warehouse ia
cilities are strictly up-to-date,
SO that if you ship cotton here it
is no trouble to have it handled
at Il moments notice and there
will be no delay when you are
resdy to pat your cotton on the
market, The yards also have
ample camping facilities. Our
banks are amply able to make adj
vsnces on cotton and are as lib
eral as possible. Our merchants
are a set of hustlng, up-to-date,
straightforward business men who
only seek for a moderate profit.
We can'tell you frankly that
you cannot do better anywhere
than to ship your cotton TO Ma

WOULD UNIoNIZE DRIVERS

c.. P. Shea, president of the Interna
tional Union of Transfers and leader
during the great Chicago strike, is in
the twin cities to see to the reorganl-
zation on strong Ebasis OF. the team
drivers Of Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Mr.. Shea spoke briefly to a gathering
of teamsters and other union me- at
Alexander g hall last evening. His dis
course was more in the form Of the re-
marks Of leader in an, informal dis
cussion on the subject Of labor organ
ization than it was an address. He
elected considerable information as to
conditions existing among transfers il
Minneapolis, expressed his surprise .
the lack of strength, of the local organ
ization, and his intention Of spending
some time here in endeavoring to place
the organization on Its feet. He asked
questions as to who could be secured
to push the new organization Of the
transfers, and the general opinion
seemed to be that D. Bremen, vice
president and business agent Of the
Minneapolis Teamowners union, was the
best. man if he could be had. Mr.. Bren-
ner was approached on the subject, but
will not make decision until he dis
cusses the matter more fully in con
ference with Mr.. Shea as to just what
will be expected Of him and what sup
port he will receive in such an under
! taking.
Mr.. Shea figures out that there: are
$500 men eligible to membership in a
/ Minneapolis union Of Transfers. Mr..
Shea spent most Of stoday in st. Paul
| looking up conditions among the team
! sters Of the sanity city.

STATE G. A. R. DATES SET
THE DEPARTMENT ENCAMPMENT
WILL BE HELD IN MINNEAPOLIS
MARCH 1922. &. r. Z

Minnesota G.. A. R. Men are looking
forward to a pleasant time in Mime
apolis on March 81 and %, the occa-
sion being the fortieth annual depart
ment encampment. The call has been
issued by Department Commander G..
F. Macdonald, and there is every indi-
cation that che encampment will eclipse
all others.
The great topic Of interest at the en-.
encampment Of the G. "A. r., to DE held
in Minneapolis in August. Pressing and
urgent invitations have been issued to
General James Tanner, commander-in-
chief Of the order, and his staff. No
definite answer has. been received as
yet, but the invitation was informally
extended and accepted when the COM
mander-in-chief and his staff were in
the city last December. :z>.- ~. r..
The Minnesota department. is plan
ming great things for the national en-.
campment. These plans will be dis
cussed at the coming department gath.
ering and the campaign of the Mime
sofa veterans mapped out. Another
important question that will come up
for discussion will be the proposed
changes in the date of the department
encampment.
It has been the custom in the past to
hold these department gatherings IN
February or March. It is now proposed
to change the time to some more ia
vorable season, either in the early sum
mer Or fall. The weather in February
and March is generally unfavorable
and as the veterans become more ad
vanced in years, it is believed that the
latter date will be better.
I The regular routine business of the
department will be taken up at the
sessions. Reports will be submitted by
the officers and suborganizations of the
department. and officers will be elected
for the coming year. It is believed thai
the attendance will be heavy and tha
in addition to full list Of delegate.
there will be many visitors Mime
apolis posts are planning a big CAM
fire for Wednesday evening, March 81
at which stories and "reminiscences o:

who were there. ~
