new PLAN PROPOSED
FOR SELLING COTTON
Outlined By Southern States
Corporation

A new plan for the marketing of
cotton is proposed by the Southern
State Cotton Corporation, wa3e ad-
Vertlsement appears elsewhere in this
issue of The Times-Recorder. The at
tention of every one who sells cotton
is directed to this advertisement
which has something of interest in ii
to every farmer.
Briefly, the plan is to sell the 1912
crop for Is cents per pound, II cents
to be paid in cash and cents in six
per cent. interest bearing scrip. The
farmer may, if he elects, have the Il
cents in six per cent. interest bearing
scrip, due in ninety days
Several of the cotton growing states
have already been organized in favor
of the plan, which is considered right
in principle and backed by good busi-
mes men if the South The support Of
every farmer is asked in carrying out
the plan.

TO Demonstrate
OVERLAND CARS
Come Out Tomorrow And Be
Shown

In order that every one who intends
to buy new car may see the virtues
of the Overland, the new cars just
received at Statham's garage will be
demonstrated today and throughout
the week, especially the new full
floating axle, which is marvel If
neatness, convenience and durability
Special demonstrations will be given
to show the difference in strength,
service and convenience between the
new axle, used in the 1912 models, and
the axles in the old models. The new
axle may be removed in an almost in
credibly short time, thereby making
the matter of repairs, etc, greatly
simplified. In addition to this the
transmission of power is largely in
creased, the axle is relieved of a great
part of needless wear and will, there
fore last almost indefinitely.
The wonderful Improvement in the
gull-foating exile is only one of the
many that the new Overlands possess.
The self-starting apparatus for these
cars has been sent out from the fac
tory so that these cars may be aquip-
ped with this device without extra
charge. This one convenience Of
not having to bother about cranking i
car eevry time one wishes to start a
car is one that is indispensable, es-
pecially when this improvement may
be had in the new 0verlands at no ad-
ditional expense.
When one has ridden in the new
noiseless, 45-horsepower Overland,
the price of $3.50, which is all that
is asked for this car with its complete
equipment, seems most reasonable in

negro REFUSED TO
EAT FRIED CHICKEN
Modern Miracle Happened
In Atlanta

Atlanta, Feb. 24-The age of mira
cles is not past. Atlanta has a negro
who refused, for sentimental reasons
to eat tender fried chicken when the
dish was placed before him-and de-
spite the fact that he was hungry.
The negro is named Jim Pendleton,
and he a servant in the family Of
Col Lowry Arnold, solicitor in the
Atlanta City court Col Arnold re-
Gently purchased a half dozen young
chickens which he put on his country
place and had one fried every time b..
went out there to spend the night
Yesterday he telephones out to jim
to kill and prepare the last Of the
chickens-that he and Mrs, Arnold
would be out there for supper. Later
in the day Col Arnold found he would
be detained in the city and phoned out
to jim, who was alone on the place,
that he might just go ahead and have
the chicken for his own super.
This morning into the city came jim
with tears in his eyes and a basket
under his arm. In the basket care
fully swathed in a linen napkin, was
the fried chicken, not a piece missing,
untouched.
Without comment, Jim deposited il
on his masters desk.
"Marse Lowry, he sobbed 81 jes'
couldn't bear to eat this chicken Yo'
didn't know it but it was a pet. II

In an effort to reach some definite
arrangement for the playing of the
two games scheduled between the Mer-
Ger and Auburn teams for Memorial
Day, Manager Willingham Tiff, of td9
Mercer baseball team, was in Ameri-
Gus yesterday.
While he was here Manager Tiff
was in consultation with Manager

baseball management last season AMI
who will doubtless serve in that ca
pacity again this season, The mat
ter of definite terms for the playing
of the games here was discussed fully
by the two managers, with the result
that final decision in the matter will
be reached at an early day
From the conversation had with
Manager Tiff it was learned that the
Mercer management wishes to play
the two games either here or in AL
bany, and that Americus has so IA
made the more favorable terms for tn
games. Manager Tiff left for Alban.

ascertain what the Albany fans woul
have to offer in the way of induce
meats for the games.
1t was learned after Manager Til
reached Albany that the main induce

agement were the use of the baseball

If the proper financial backing is
assured, Manager Ford believes that b

supporters can come down on the early
