WELDON MEETS WITH
 ENCOURAGEMENT
Will Have No Trouble Put ting Rock Hill Plan Into
 Operation

Atlanta, February S-(Special. )-Frank Weldon of Atlanta, recently designated state superintendent to put the Rock Hill plan for reducing the cotton acreage into operation in Georgia, is receiving much gratifying encouragements from many sections of the state.
 Judging from the letters I have re- ceived," Superintendent Weldon said. "the situation resolves itself into matter of simple effort, to secure signatures to the pledge for 25 per cent acreage reduc- ton, of practically every farmer in Geor- gia.
 We are taking up at once the work Of getting county committees organized. These committees will be composed Of some of the foremost business men ana farmers in each county. They Will ar range for the necessary funds and em- poy canvassers to secure signatures to the plan.
 q confidently believe the result is going to be reduction of Georgia's cotton acreage this year by fully 20 per cent, and if the result is anything like that in other states cotton will go this year to 12 to IA cents That means S15 to S25 bale more than the last seasons crop brought"
 Leading farmers and officials of farm CTS organizations all over the state nave given the plan their unqualified indorse- ment. But with all the enthusiasm over the plan, it's success is going to depend very largely upon the cooperation or the landlord, the banker and the merchant, In at least accepting part payment in corh
 This is a phase of the problem of which Superintendent Weldon is taking hold Tn the belief that the ultimate result aimed at is so important to all of these inter ests that they will readily lend their as sistance to this extent.

ATLANTANS PLAN ID
 REDUCE FAILURES
Leading Wholesalers Back Movement to Minimize
 Bankruptcy

Atlanta. February s.-tSpecial) l)-Plans
 have been practically perfected for an
 organization here to minimize bankruptcy
 among retail merchants. A number of
 leading Atlanta wholesale houses are back
 of the movement. It is proposed to begin
 with a capital stock of s25,oOO and to work
 in conjunction with the Credit Mems
 association.
 Investigations instituted here through
 the Washburn-Crosby company, a large
 milling concern, and the Earnest Fain
 con.p pany led to the conclusion that
 large number of the failures among re-
 tail merchants in this territory could be
 avoided with a little financial assistance
 at the proper time. It was shown that three creditors, with aggregate claims of $500 could force into bankruptcy an honest and deserving merchant, even though he might not be nsolveht, and that the ex- penses of administration are such that the average dividend paid to creditors is around 10 per cent. Numerous cases were
 cited in which a little well placed finan- cial aid would have tided over such mer- chants and enabled them ultimately to
 meet their obligations in full as we'll as to continue business.
 It Is the object of the organization
 to meet principally those cases in which the merchant cannot secure loans on collateral because of the lack of it; thus. in a sense it is to be operated somewhat on the plan of the Atlanta Loan and Saving company, the Atlanta organization designed to relieve the money shark sit- nation by taking care of the small bor- rower who cannot patronize the banks. w. O. Stamps of Fain X Stamps will probably be president of the organiza- ton; Alfred Kelly first vice president, and c. B. Logan of the Barnes Fain company, chairman of the loan commit- tee It Is expected to have the organ izatior ready for business by March 1.

COUNTY ATTORNEY BILL

a fair chance and that when bidder got stuck on the wrong side of the market lie was permitted to select better grade of cotton.
 Colonel Taylor, president of the board of trustees during the time this crooked work Is said to have been done, states he courts the fullest investigation, that they have alwayo done the best they could for the state in the sale of cotton. and that there has never been anything akin to grating.
 One thousand bales of cotton on the Parchman farm was sold yesterday at IL cents, and several bales on the Rankin farm, very short staple, was sold at 10 cents, which the trustees considered good prices. There always was more politics mixed up in the affairs of the penitentiary than in all the other departments of the state put together, and that is supposed to be at the bottom of this charge Of crook edness.

The operators urged the increased
cost OF mining owing to the many new

Tottenville again last night. While
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles II. Higbee, OF
1871 Main street. were at the recep-
ton OF the Philemon Literary and

their residence and after ransacking
every drawer and box III the house
they secured a small sum OF money,
about s2, is 1sa1 50 Gould be iearn-
ed. Mr.. Higbee, who is an optician
and jeweler. had several hundred
dollars worth OF tools and some
lying around, but they were
not disturbed. The thieves gained
to the house by breaking a
rear window and removing the latch.
When Mr.. Higbee returned home
shortly after IL o'clock he found the
house In generalNdisorder and burnt
matches lying about the floor. A
kitchen lamp had been lighted and
left burning. The lamp was turned
up so high that 1t smoked the CHM

This case. like the others that
