GEORGIA SETS PACE
SOUTH'S PROSPERITY
Mr.. R. {. Allison Talks of
Recent Trip.

Mr.. r. E. Allison, President of the
Allison Furniture Company, returned
Thursday from a six weeks trip,
with his wife, through Texas, Louis
lana, Mississippi and Alabama. Visit
ing a number of points, meeting with
business men, and keeping ears and
eyes open as he travelled, Mr.. Allison
returned home satisfied that Georgia
has the best crop of cotton in the
South and the most prosperous peo-
pie to be found just at this especial
time.
I'VE covered considerable territory
in Texas, said he to Times Recor-
der representative yesterday. "The
cotton crop down there has undoubt-
eddy been a tremendous disappoint-
ment to the people, and they clearly
show it in their talk and business. A
half crop even at 10 to IL cents does
not compensate them for the tremen-
dous shrinkage in production, and
they are inclined to be somewhat
gloomy. Texas, though, is a vast
state, it has enjoyed great prosper
ity, and one bad season, after all, can
have but a passing temporary effect
on its general business affairs. The
feeling of disappointment will speed
lily wear off and the people there
will be as buoyant as ever. That
is their natural tendency. Next year
they may have a great crop and roll
in money, as it were.
ASSISTING Local Banks
Mississippi has a good cotton
crop, so far as we could learn, and
there was a general air of satisfac-
ton on the crop and price questions,
although business men were a trife
uneasy about the money stringency
North, fearing that it might affect
values and hamper the movement of
the crop. There was a general dis
position, l found among business
men who understood the situation to
do all in their power to assist the
local banks in the matter of cur
rency, and the feeling was becoming
more confident as we neared home
and the situation North seemed to be
easing up.
over in Alabama the people re-
ported a fair crop, but not a Georgia
crop by any means. Over there ev-
erybody is talking about prohibition
now as much as about cotton and
money. The Cunningham election set
the whole state talking. Alabama is
in pretty good shape throughout.
Georgia ON Velvet
But it is when you get into Geor-
gia that you strike genuine prosperity
and universal confidence" said Mr..
Allison in conclusion. Our people
are certainly on velvet. All we need
is the easing up in the currency sit
uatiOn that is being brought about in
the North by the imports of gold and
the general cooperation of all finan-
cial institutions. | don't think l ever
found the people of this State more
sanguine than they have been this
fall, or with a better basis on which
to build their hopes Of continued good
business"

very emphatic no, and the mare was
gone. A tall bank was Immediately in
front of her, with the water up to the
top of it, all the pulling, and saving on
the reins that Melvin could do, would
not restrain her. She reached the bank
without any check up, and went over.
The water was at least twenty feet
deep, and horse and rider went to the
bottom In less time than it takes to
record it, they came to the surface,
and after blowing the water from their
nostrils, went under again. After a
series of plunges, and jumps they came
out on this side of the river, thorough
ly drenched. The cold bath had had no
effect to cool the ardor of the high fly
er, and she started on her homeward
road. 1t was cool November morn
ing, and Melvin being thoroughly wet,
soon began to feel the pain of cold, but
it made no difference with the mad
beast. The sun was shining, and the
rapid transit, combined with the suns
heat, served to dry him off rapidly,
and before reaching Camp Knox, he
was entirely dry and the mare was
somewhat checked in her mad career,
and they had very pleasant trip for
the balance of the journey.

history. He figures no more in this

he had joined Capt. j. Newt Coffey's

The last, and most serious run, was
made in Green county. Melvin was
teaching school somewhere in the vicin-

his school had arrived, he rode the gray
nag down on this, his last trip. On Sat-
urday morning, he started homeward,
after bidding adieu to his many friends.
There had been much rain, and the
river was very full, out of its banks in
many places. There was no bridge in
those days, and the ferry was not very
reliable. When Melvin reached the
vicinity of the river, he met man of
whom he enquired the condition of the
ferry. The man told him the river was
dangerous full, and much heavy drift
was passing. Melvin asked if it would
be safe, in his opinion, to undertake to
ferry it. The man answered with a

was next to Christian grace,
And so his fathers saddle tree
Was made to supply the place.
He gave some cloth he'd bought in town
The proper cut and stitch;
Thus made hood and tackled it down,
Then coated it with pitch.
When he proudly claimed it would
A pressing need supply,
AS well as any saddle hood,
Then hung it up to dry.
When Moses thought the pitch well dried,
One fine April morning,
To see his Susie, he did de,
Every rival scorning
To dress himself he ne'er forgot,
In clothes both neat and new,
And when old roam began to trot
Then Moses troted too.
AS now adown the road they go,
Both are in a daddle,
For roam and saddle fit you know
And Moses fit the saddle.
10 make his happiness complete
With thoughts of love and wooing,
Fair flowers bloom beneath his feet
While turtle doves are cooling.
Although the bee and butterfly
So sweetly kiss the roses,
His Susie's kisses would supply
Far better sweets for Moses.
But JOY may oft times turn to grief
Without timely warning;
Alas! The sticky pitch beneath
Poor Moses now is warming.
With swaying limbs to speed advance,
His way is now pursued;
Till sad to tell the hood to pants
Is quite securely glued.
IT'S thus, he nears her quiet home
Maintaining his position,
Applying whip and spur to roam
Not needing his condition.
There was his Susie, prinked and prim
All smiling in the door,
Waiting now to welcome him
AS she had done before.
Just come right in and do not fear,
Pray why do you not come?
That ugly beau of mines not here
And papa's gone from home.
But Moses has grave excuse,
For like sticking plaster
The more he tries to pull it loose.
The more he sticks the faster.
Although he tries to freedom gain
By efforts Oft repeated,
His every effort is in vain;
He can not be unseated.
His Susie sees him there remain
And does this; truth discover,
Although he is loving swain
She has stuckup lover.
And thus she sees her beau depart
With mirth beyond control,
While he with true love in his heart
But anguish in his soul.
And now poor Moses takes the swoons
Whenever the bad boys
Ask if his counting pantaloons
Have dropped the latter clause.
He makes his vows to man and jove
That roam he'll ne,er Desirable
And ride to see his lady love
Upon tacky saddle.

THE EARLY HISTORY OF MELVIN
WHITE.
By u. L Taylor.
Number XII Conclusion.
By u. L Taylor.

When the company reached the mule
bot where Melvin was supposed to be
. dead. he was no where to be seen. The
fence was very much demoralized, and
there was a similar break in the fence
on the opposite side, and the gray mare
and Melvin were both gone. While
gazing around in search of the fugitives,
Jesse Stone came by and said he had
met Melvin and the mare just this side
of Gadberry, going in full speed, and
he spoke to Melvin, but he made no re-
ply. Stone watched him until he was
out of sight, and there was no let up as
long as he could be seen. Melvin was
not heard of for several days, but he
and his gray animal made their appear
ance in Columbia on the next Saturday,
and on his way home he fell in company
with Miss Ella Garrett, on her way
from neighbors's house, Melvin rode
along with her home. They passed
down the lane to the house, through a
large gate at the mouth of the lane
Melvin hitched the young ladies horse
without dismounting, and Ella invited
him to get down and go to the house.
No, said Melvin, but the nag waited to
hear no more, she had her head set to-
wards that big gate, and she went. She
made one grand jump and was off like
lightning, she struck that gate square
in the center, and paused not, but pass
ed through and scattered the debris on
either side. Melvin did all in his power
10 check the mad rush, but had no effect
on her whatever.
The young lady stood on the stile and
watched the mad flight, perfectly
amazed, and chagrinned at the treat
ment that Melvin had given her, and
resolved that she would never have any
thing to do with him henceforth and
forever. She saw nothing more of
Melvin for several days, and when they
met it took all his eloquence and per-
sausive powers to convince her that the
gray beast was altogether uncontrolla-
BILE. How many of these spells Melvin
had to endure when he was alone, we
have no means of knowing, but as she
never took one without hearing a word
that sounded like "go," we presume
that when alone Melvin had no trouble.
