Efficient Service Requires
Sufficient Facilities

To meet these requirements it is
essential not only that there be at all
times sufficient cable facilities, under
one control, but that they should be
operated interchangeably with each
other and IN close physical connec-
ton with land lines as one system.
Ample spare facilities are necessary
to provide against the very frequenr
cable Interruptions.
Neither the Western Union nor any
one of the companies of the Western
Union group has, indep endently of the
others, facilities enough TO handle
the business which at times any one
company might be called upon to take
care of, because of some particular
rush of business, or because of some
cable interruption. Nor could any one
company furnish all the direct circuits
necessary for efficient service, al
though the combined facilities of
these companies are ample if they
could be used supplementary to each
other and INTERCHANGEABLE.
AS it is, each company operates its.
own cables through separate and dis
tinct Offices and under separate and
distinct management. All interchange
of business is by actual transfer of the
business from one company to the
other, with the consequent delay and
interruption of a service in which
seconds are valuable.

cotton FIELD RUINED,

Must Use Staple as a FGrtil-
izer.

Ono hundred bales cotton, to be
-,ouohed under as fertilizer for the
novt crop. will be an experiment
tried this year by Mr.. G. w. Heron on
his plantation several miles below
Amerjcus. Cotton, as a rule, is not
esteemed as fertilizer, but Mr.. He
ron can do nothing else with this
hundred bales now.
The cotton is open in the f1eld-one
big field of one hundred acres-from
which not a pound of seed cotton has
ever been picked. 1t cannot be pick
ed now. and he will plough under the
entire crop in this field later on.
The cotton opened early in Septem-
her much of it that would easily
produce a bale per acre. Mr.. Heron
had other cotton fields, and owing to
the scarcity of labor, did not get 20
this particular hundred acre tract
III seems d plIy " PAOuSoh ~ uAhNSA'
but there is nothing else to be done.
Mr.. Heron is a thrifty South Caro-
lima farmer. He laughingly said yes
terday that he never dreamed that the
lands here would produce greater
crops than could be gathered, but is
convinced of it now
This same condition prevails in
others localities near Americas. There
is still great deal of open cotton,
and while a portion of it will be
picked, in damaged condition, when
the weather settles, it is fact that
the greater portion of it will be aban-
doned, as not worth the cost Around
DeSoto, and Leslie, especially, is
there a great deal of cotton left in the
fields The crop last year was just
too big to be handled by the farmers.

The Trans Atlantic Gable
Situation and Competition

The trans Atlantic cable situation
is as follows:
The Mackay group of seven ca
bles, including the German cables,
owned by or worked in physical con-
nection with the telegraph lines of
that company form one system.
The French cables comprise an in
dependent system, using both the
Western Union and the Mackay land
lines for their United States connec-
ton.
In competition with these is the
Western I~lion group of cables, eight
in all, owned by three separate COM
panies, two of which are British
companies owning five of the eight
cables.
TtUo only of the British oWned
cables terminate in the United States
and all of them are entirely depen-
dent on the Western Union for their
connection With any telegraph system,
or for their reaching any centre OF
business, and are noW worked exctu-
siUeLy, so far as business is concerned,
uith the Western Union.

Monopoly of Gable
Business impossible

There is no cable monopoly pos
sible. The three systems-the
Western Union, the French and tbs
Mackay-will continue to exist.
The Mackay Companies is a hold
ing organization with no physical
property, but exercising through stock
ownership, lease or contract, operat-
ing control of various companies
owning land lines and cables which
make up the Mackay System. Through
this control all the various properties
are operated as one system to great
advantage in service over what could
be given by these same companies
if operated separately.
The French cables form another
system.
The Western Union System, under
the proposed arrangement for one
operating control over the present
segregated units, will be enabled to
make two distinct advances in the
trans Atlantic cable business:
1-BETTER SERVICE. This will be
insured by more efficient and econom-
zeal working resulting from single
direction over the operations of both
cables and land lines.
2-PUBLIC ADKANTAG ES. The
greater part of the cable capacity has
been and is now untitled. II will
continue to lie dormant and unutilized
under existing conditic0s ard tradi-
tons. The Western Union purposes
to make these wasted facilities useful
to the public by means of new kinds
of cable service.
In addition, the Western Union in
tends to nationalize its land lines by
opening them to all TRANSATLANTIC
cable companies.

Efficiency Increased,
Waste Prevented

The proposed arrangement between
the Western Union, the Anglo Amer
lean and the Direct U. S. companies
will bring the eight cables of the three
companies under one operating con-
troll. The consequent increase in
effectiveness and economy will place
the Western Union in a position to
offer certain advantages in cable
service not now enjoyed by the public.
The other way open to enable
the Western Union to make such i'm
provements and introduce such new
services as it proposes to do, would
be to lay new cables. This would
seem to be the height of folly.
Duplication of the existing trans
Atlantic cable facilities at a cost of
many millions, when there are more
than ample facilities for all business,
would put an unnecessary financial
burden upon an already fully burdened
business and would probably postpone
the reduction of rates OF introduction
of new services.

Limited Business Hours
and Idle Facilities

AS at present carried on, the trans
Atlantic cable business is practically
all fash service, /. E. instantaneous.
Owing to the difference in time, there
are only a few business hours of the
day common to both sides and during
these hours at least 7s% Of the cable
business is done. This is demon
strated by the accompanying chart.
In the interests of international
business nothing should be done to
interfere in any way with the so-called
fash or instantaneous service, and
the lines should be kept clear to &C
commodate such messages during the
few business hours common TO both
countries; but TO continue TO confne
the cables to this class of service, as
at present, will utilize only about ISL
of the existing capacity Of millions of
property and places on that limited
service all the capital, maintenance
and operating charges.

of the business, if best results are to

THIS MANS CLIFTON
BROUGHT HIM lac.
Raised Long >tapIe in Inter-
Tor Of.CarOliRa.

Fayetteville, n c., January S.-M-.
H. p. Davis, of Flea Hill township,
shows a bill for four bales of cotton
which he sold this year to a Charles
ton firm. For two bales he received
IA cents per pound; for one bale he
received 10 cents, and for one bale
(blue cotton he received u cents.
After deducting 1911 for freight and
commissions, his four bales Melted
him $228.65.
This cotton was raised from Column
bian long staple seed. Mr. Davis says
it was ginnedein a saw gin and that
he believes if it had been ginned in 4
long staple gin the price would have
been still better.
This should set farmers to think
ing" says the Observer, "as to the
ACCESSIBILITY of raising long staple cot
ton. Now we know nothing about
raising cotton, and there are many
things to be considered. In the first
place, it is natural that long staple
brings an extra high price this sea-
son on account of the generally in
ferior quality of the crop. In the
next place. it NAV be that long sta
pie is not so prolific in yield and s
more extensive to raise. Then again
We are told that the staple is apt to
grow shorter every year if great
care is not taken in the selection of
seed and conditions are not just right
Newt if the crop is generally long
STABLE, of course, the law of supply
and demand comes in and the price
falls off.
"All these things have to be consid-
cred. But for all that We have the
fact before us that Mr.. Davis got this
year from ~ to IA cents for long sta
ple cotton, while stort stable is bring
ing only to cents This fact IS
worth serious consideration.

Proposed Modification Of
Existing Arrangements

A provisional modification of an
arrangement which has existed for
many years has been reached between
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, The Anglo-American Gable
Company and the Direct U. S. Gable
Company, under which the cable sys-
tens of these companies now worked
exclusively in business connection
with each other, but operated and
maintained separately, will be oper-
ated in direct physical connection
with each other and with the Western
Union land system.
Two objects are to be attained by
this arrangement:
First, more efficient and economi-
cal operation.
Second, the introduction of nesU
forms of service to the advantage OF
the public.

he viii certainly be Judge Russelks
successor when he retires
There may or may not be truth ia
the report that Judge Russell will
leave the bench. But it is certain that
he cannot be suaded to divulgs
his intentions until he is ready to do
so.
If the vacancy does occur, Judge
Ross appointment would be a logical
one from every standpoint. He is q
Central Georgia man, has had expert
ence on the bench and stands high at
the bar. And no man did more effec-
tive work for Governor Brown in his
