glad that Mr.. Watson gives the Cous-

I think he is a good man for print

fail to see your letter in print, do
not fall out with him, because he
receives SO many letters that he can
not print them all. Christmas time

ms, what did Santa Claus bring you

President Georgia Alabama Business
College, Macon, Ga.
"We advise you to write to Mr.
Anderson at once if you are ambitious
and have good character.
Clinton, S. c., Feb. Is, 1911.
We have learned during the past
year to esteem it a pleasure and a
privilege to do business with a man
of the Georgia-Alabama Business
College at Macon, Ga. He has ideas
and aspirations far beyond the COM
mon crowd, and we are always glad
when we can contribute to the sue
cess of his great institution, for it is
not in the class of those which know
nothing and care nothing for the
higher standards in business educa-
ton. 1t ought to be a matter of con-
graduation to President Anderson
that his work is being widely recog-
nized and appreciated by the most in
telligent element of society,"
We admire the institution for the
high standards which it has already
set, and we have seen ample EVIL
dence of President Anderson's de-
termination to continue to raise
those standards. We have found that
he is not simply theorist, but that
he knows how to weigh the practical
points in connection with the attain
ment of his ideals.
The time is no doubt approaching
very rapidly when business colleges
like some other educational institu-
lions, will have to rest their claims
for favor on high standards of ex-
cellency and efficiency. We are i'm
pressed with the idea that Mr. An
derson stands prepared for the ar
rival of that day, and his present
great work is fastening it's approach.
Some of the features of his work
have already attracted attention
throughout the various sections of
the nation. Yours very respectfully,

1t is we'll known fact that all

ton for the purpose of holding for
higher prices, and at the same time
is attempting to induce each farmer
to plant 20 per cent les acreage in
cotton than they did last year.
"These two propositions should
receive the immediate support of
all classes of people in the south.
| believe that there will be con.
tinued holding of cotton to the full
ability of the grower in most cases,
and as | feel assured that the
question of reduction of acreage
will be looked after, | desire, as
one of the thousands of citizens of
the state, to call especially atten-
tion to the buying of all cotton

cotton that the stress of circum-
stances forces to be sold at once.

south, together with the different
Chambers of Commerce, Boards of

forth concerted action in support of
this buying movement. If this is
to be effective, 1t must be done at
once, so the bankers, merchants
and all leading spirits in the differ
ent business communities, should
fall into line at once.
"Every farmer and planter in
the south, whether cotton purchas-
er or not, who can command the
price Of bale or more of cotton,
should step into the breach at once.
The buying of this cotton is of
vital interest to all who will be dis
astrously affected if the crop goes
out OF the country at the ridiculous
ly low prices that it now sells for.
Il believe further that this
movement should be of especial IN

movement and offer my full support

GOVERNOR FAVORS
COTTON HOLDING

Governor Donaghey has agreed to
use his influence to forward the
movement for the holding of cotton
and the reduction of the acreage
next year as started by the Farmers
Union. The campaign, which has
just been inaugurated, includes a
new feature. An effort is being
made to include men who are able
to do 50, to buy cotton that is now
offered for sale and hold it until the
price reaches the level fixed by the
Farmers Union. Governor Dona.
ghey endorsed this new idea by
pledging himself to buy so bales of
cotton at once and hold it until the
price reaches the point agreed up.
on.
Blank pledges are being sent out
from the Office of the Farmers
Union at Rogers, Ark, to every
subordinate organization in the
south and to prominent men not
connected with the Farmers Union.
The signers pledge themselves first,
TO hold their cotton; second, to buy
and hold cotton; and third, to re.
dSce their acreage in 1912.
Governor Donaghey will send out
letters to county officials and COM
mercial organizations throughout
the state urgiug that they support
tbis movement. He expects to
inaugurate an active campaign in
support of the plain.
Speaking of the new movement
yesterday, Governor Donaghey said;
'sThere is every indication that
the cotton, holding movement, inaug
urated by the Farmers Union and
nearly all of the other business In
terests of the south, will prove a
success, The small producer seems
to have grown tired of selling his
cotton merely for the cost of pro
duction, and thousands have deter.
mined not to sell at all until a
profitable price can be obtained.

| was informed that there was al
least twenty two ball grounds in
the county, and at least thirty-six
men were in attendance at each,
which equaled seven hundred and
ninty two men losing one-half day
each, eqauling three hundred and
ninty.six dollars, multiplied by
seventy.fve, the number of counties
In the state, and we have twenty nine
thousand and seven hundred dollars

overdrawn? | think not. That is
quite a little sum just to sweat and
bruise away in one-half day and be
a hundred times more wearied and
bruised than to have plowed fast

does that appeal to your common
sense, boys? See you have thrown

pal course taught. Say, boys IN

Tulsa, Okla, put up a bonus of
twenty thousand dollars to have the
closing ball games of the season this
year played there. Who Is to pay
t his twenty thous9nd dollars?
Why, sirs, 1t will be paid by poor
deluded people who have been taught
that it is patriotic to sacrifice at the
shrine of our great national games.
Yes, ball playing is a national sport,
so is whisky drinking, and 50 was
bull fighting once in Spain.
1t is very, very common in these
modern and fast days to hear a col
