4 KEEN FORESIGHT
Displayed by Dealer Who Held
His Cotton IA Years for
an Increase.
FINALLY GETS Is CENTS

Jackson. Ca. April aa.--.I will get
sixteen cents for this bale of cotton or
will never sell it, WAS the declara-
tion made by T. H Greer thirty-eight
years ago. He kept his promise and
got his price. but 1t took him thirty
eight years to do it.
Back in 1S13- December 10, to be ex-
act-T. H. Greer, prosperous farmer
OF Butts county. ginned bale Of cot
ton by water power, the gin being the
Griswold. then in use. and the old hand
lever press was used. The war had
not been over long at the time and cot
ton was high-higher than it has. been
since then. with one exception.
The market was sixteen cents that
season. but as this bale was late in be-
ing turned out from the press the mar
ket had slumped. and after loading
the bale on his wagon Mr.. Greer took
It to Griffin, only to be refused sixteen
cents. Whereupon he would not sell
for less than that figure. According
~ he carried the bale of cotton back
home, where 1t had remained until last
month.
Mr. Greer drove to town and an offer
OF sixteen cents a pound was made to
him and he accepted It. The cotton
was bought by Etheridge, Smith 4 Co.,
well known local buyers. They have
placed the cotton In the front of their
store, and it is being viewed by hun
dreds OF persons.
When first ginned the bale Of cotton
weighed sos pounds. Only one time
since 1t was first packed has it been re
packed, and that was In 1905. when II
was found to be perfectly sound. Sc
, far as known. this is the oldest bale Of
| cotton on record.
Local cotton buyers have had theil
eyes on this bale of cotton for Ions
time. During the Louisiana Exposi
| ton at st. Louis, Mr.. Greer was offer
ed a fancy price for his cotton. it being
| desired for exhibition purposes. but hi
would not part with 1t. During thu
| Sully boom few seasons ago cottor
went above sixteen cents. the first time
since 1872. when the cotton was frs
ginned. At that time he could hav,
sold the bale for sixteen and hal
cents pound, but he thought 1t would
| go to twenty cents pound, aud 81
missed his chance of selling. for thu
market soon went down.
Mr.. Greer Is now an old man. He i
a familiar and well known figure ant
belongs to the well known family o
i Greers, who have lived in this count.
since Robert Greer wrote his famoul
almanac, back In the first part OF thu

In Huntington, Ind, comprehens-
i've campaign was begun recently to
make that a Sanitary City" This
was adopted as a motto by the city
board of health. The chief Of police
and his deputy, working under the SUI
perintendency OF the secretary Of the
city board Of health, made an inspec-
ton of alleys. lots bordering on al.
lcys and Of lots on which are located
billboards, behind which may collect
rubbish or other unhealthful material.
Owners of such lots were called upon
by the authorities and notified to be-
gin thorough spring housekeeping.
The campaign was one of cooperation.
Inspectors made regular reports. All
tin cans or other unsightly rubbish
had to be removed. All bakeries and
restaurants were visited by the health
officers and owners of all premises,
which are not found sanitary were In
structed in sanitary conditions. The
secretary of the city board of health
| thanked the Woman's Civic Improve
| ment League for their suggestions In
regard to lettering conditions and
they were requested to continue inyes-
| tigating the same and to cooperate
with the department as heartily az
heretofore. We have yet to realize as
a nation what an influence lovely or
unlovely surroundings have upon our
| lives and products.
Times are changing and new altru-
istic spirit is in the air Men are be-
ginning to think of the "other fel.
