The hero is rather unusual young

Turner reaches the summer resort where
he is to rest he has met The Girl and has
become involved in a land deal in which
he tries to forestall the actions Of the

so that the reader at no time feels any
resentment toward him for the many oc-

temporarily: but the girl very naturally
does feel resentment and she gives him

PLAYED great ingenuity in arranging that
the hero shall be inevitably forced TO
make a choice between the two pursuits
in which he is engaged and In thus mix
ing thoroughly throughout the story two
discordant elements.
This ingenuity Is the most striking
thing about this striking story. That two
interests so diverse as love-making any

2l5,208 BALES OF
COTTON IN NEW YORK
No Port in the World Ever
Had So Much Cotton
on the Move

NEW YORK, Aug. with z15,2os
bales OF cotton in warehouses and on
piers, all Of which must be moved with
the greatest possible dispatch, New
York is today the greatest cotton port
in the world. Brokers, who say that
cotton is not being sold on specula-
ton and that they are more occupied
these days in signing bills of lading
than in stock accounts. declare that
such q situation has never existed here
before, and that no port in the world
ever had so much cotton ''on the
move"
In south Brooklyn the bales can be
seen piled mountain high. At a single
terminal there are 10000 bales. The
supply now on hand is made up large
ly Of July and August cotton, though
{ Is said that May staple is also in
evidence to some extent.
The Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, or
the North German. Lloyd line, will
leave here tomorrow with 2,127 bales
in her hold. The Caroline, OF the
French line, will take 5,571 bales on
Saturday. Other steamships have been
booked by cotton men for cargo space
throughout this month. On the other
side those operators who are short on
the market are engaging freight for
10000 bales, and this means that the
fight between those who now hold the
cotton and those who will have to de-
liver it is not ended.

CORN SHOW SHOULD De
NOTABLE CROP DISPLAY
Chamber of Commerce Plans
Great Exhibition for Atlanta
in November and December

The corn show which the chamber Of
commerce is urging for Atlanta In No
vember or December, will be one of the
largest agricultural displays of any sin
gle crop that has been made in tho
south, If the general tentative plans
Of the chamber can be carried out.
The corn crop in Georgia this sea-
son will be the most plentiful in years,
and preparations are already being made
In about 40 counties for local displays.
The corn show in Atlanta would be held
after these local shows. and it is planned
to have the exhibits at them displayed
here This fact, together with the con-
dition of the corn crop should make the
exhibition in Atlanta notable.
The show will be held at the audi
torium. Preparations will be made for
a complete display and efforts will be
put forth to have every county in the
state send a specimen of its corn crop.
To stimulate interest, two or three thou
sand dollars in prizes will be offered.
The principal object of the show will
be to encourage the cultivation of corn.
According to a United States report, the
corn crop in Georgia has shown little
increase during the last 30 We.
the average yield in Georgia is only 10
bushels an acre. At the show at Al
bany last year 1t was established that
four FARMERS nad raised 100 pushels 10
an acre: The show in Atlanta would
set such examples before the state, and
encourage the individual farmer to strive
after similar accomplishments.
The agricultural committee of the
chamDer of commerce has recommended
that corn show, participated in by
the entire state, be held in Atlanta in
ovember or December, and this recon-
mendation has been Endorsed by the d.
rectors Of the chamber of commerce. II
the movement meets with popular en-
couragement. other steps will be taken
as soon as possible.
