The next time you think you

;HE PRICE OF COTTON AND
THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
cignificant Relation Between Tariff
Activity and Losses of Cotton
Growers Arouses the
-
A.. South.

In the appointment of delegation
Of cotton growers at the North Caro-
lima state fair recently. with instruc-
tons to attend the meeting in New Or
leans having for Its purpose the hold
ing by farmers and others of con
siderable proportion of this years cot
ton crop and the curtailment of next
years acreage, is to be found one OF
many Indications Of dissatisfaction ex
listing over the present political rela
tionship to the price Of cotton.
1t is said that President Taft's reel
procity campaign and the Underwood
tariff bills not only adversely affected
general business during the year 1911.
but specifically caused the cotton man
ufacturers to lose, by shrinkage and
decreased volume Of trade. between
$jO,OOO.OG0 and $100.OOO.OOO.
Crippled and with a prospect o!
more tariff agitation In 1912, cotton
manufacturers have naturally been
unable to make purchases Of cotton
IN CDe usual way, Will Tie result luitt,
with full crop, political agitation has
created a decline in the price Of the
staple thus far from IA cents per
pound to 9 cents per pound. with many
predictions from well posted quarters
thnt a much lower range will be ex
perienced.
1t is further claimed that without
the extra session for the discussion of
reciprocity the Underwood tariff meas
ures would not have been introduced
and in consequence there would have
been but little probability that cotton
would have declined under the force
of full crop lower than II cents per
pound instead Of registering in price
the low water mark for years, as II
does today.
The farmers in the south and the
manufacturers Of cotton generally are
charging up loss on this years crop
tf not less than S175,O00,000, which
loss they claim Is directly traceable to
political Influence.

in four world famous races, two OF
which are the acknowledged blue I'D

Race and the Vanderbilt Cup Race.
Drivers of international fame have
pronounced the Savannah course the
finest in the world Yet there are
many people in the South Atlantic
states who have never seen 1t. from
all parts of the world people come
to these races 1t seems this time
that the folks living right at Savan-
nahs door have made up their minds
that they are not going to let another
opportunity pass to witness these eX'
citing, hair-raising events, and, re-
Numbering the two Grand Prize races
held in 1908 and 1910, when the win
ners nosed out the next men by mere
seconds in races extending over 400
miles, they have evidently decided
that they are certain what they are
going to get this time, for from every
hamlet, town, city and metropolis

largest cities in the country. Those
who come will probably see all pre-
1ious worlds records lowered. The
course will be patrolled by the local
military, who made a reputation Tor
efficiency in the past two races. All
Of the net profits Of the races Will
lie given to the military organizations
There will lie telephones all around
the course, and the folks at the grand
stand will be continuously advised Of
the progress Of the leading cars.
There will be two large score boards
on which the time of every lap Will
lie posted in large figures. Every one
will know at any time where any car
is and exactly what its standing in
the race will he Many times will

will accommodate $4,000 persons
there will be $50 boxes, each accom-
dating six persons, the price of which
is $50 each. There will be over one
hundred parking spaces. A ticket en-

sion tickets, emitting the holder to

Z. {. Roach

A few week ago the Josey Shoe
g. Clothing Co., closed out its bust
ne S on east Pine street. For five
years the business has been run
successfully by the resident partner
of the business, Mr. E. E. Roach.
The Fitzgerald branch Of the bust
ness was not closed out because it
was not a success, but on the other
hand it had done a most satisfact-
DRY business.
And now Mr. Roach has opened
u in the same building, a brand
new line Of clothing, hats, shoes
and gents furnishing and is already
doing a splendid business.
AT first it was thought that pos
s.bIy Mr.. Roach was planning to
leave Fitzgerald, and many regrets
were expressed by his friends, but
the facts bear out the suggestion
that he has no thought of leaving
good thing, and that he is here to
stay, and to prosper we hope.
We bespeak for him a liberal
share of patronage from the public
that that has so willingly sustained
a good trade record for the Josey
Shoe & Clothing Co.

Prize and light car races at Savan-
nah on November 81 and 80 will be
considerably larger than ever before.
This is attributable to the fact that
such a large number of cars have
been sold during the past year and
so many will motor to the races. The
run to Charlotte also served to slim.
ulate interest. For several days be-
fore the races at least a thousand
cars will be headed for Savannah
from every hamlet, town and city in
these states and Georgia to see the
greatest automobile race event the
world has ever KNOWN, for the in
terest is not confined to the cities
this time, as has been the case here
tofore. Savannah is preparing to cor
daily receive and entertain them.
