make their meeting q success
For instance. one energetic COM

the hot week In an effort to raise
funds for the entertainment Of the
visitors As a result Of their consCt-

Manufacturers Association sees lts

City Statesmen Take
Outing; Truce Kept

City statesmen will be conspicuous
by their absence this week The gro
Ger or dry goods merchant who needs
to replenish his stock must telephone
TO his jobber The jobbers have
agreed not TO solicit business for the
week, but Just TO take what comes
to them in the natural course of
events.
The reason for this strange pact is
that the jobbers are on their annual
outing at the Isle Of Palms, near
Charleston, S. c.
In order not to take advantage Of
their absence, fifty or more jobbers
signeo a formal agreement of neu-
trality for the week. and O. r. Camp
president of the Retail Grocers and
Butchers Association, sent letter
to all members OF his organization
acquainting them with the state of
affairs, and asking that they fill urg-
ent needs only. by using the tele-
ers have taken this construction in
good quantities.. and as a result Of
curtailed production by the mills the
supply has fallen somewhat behind
the demand.

LUMBER SALES
SHOW BUILDING
KEEPS UP WELL
Dealers in Supplies Tell of Big
Things in Prospect for the
Coming Autumn.

Dealers in lumber, brick cement
plaster and building supplies report
that Atlanta is going straight ahead
in its expansion.
Unanimously they report good
trade. One particularly encouraging
feature, according to their express
sions, is the steady increase in the
number of small residences, homes
costing between $4,000 and $4,000,
seeming to predominant.
Furthermore, building supplies
dealers are unanimous in saying that
there are great plans in store for
fall If all rumors are to be believed
property owners are contemplating
improvements at almost a boom"
rate as soon as summer is past.
Paint dealers also are cheerful
They report contractors figuring on
work far ahead, and also general &C
tivity in refurnishing buildings which
are not new, but which are being re-
modelled TO meet the city's growing
needs.
Expressions from dealers in these
lines follow:
V. H. Kriegshaber: "Our observa-
ton is that there is a good deal Of
building contemplated-in the wind,
so to speak. When conditions settle
down this fall, We look for an excel
lent trade in building supplies"
Randall Bros: "Our business is
better than 1t ever has been in lum-
Der and building material. The in
crease has come from the increase
in medium priced houses, residences
to cost between $4,000 and $4,000.
1T is hard to tell about the fall
but we look for good trade. Prices
are a little lower This always is
the case in June and July. There
will be reaction in August and Sep

stronger. This is the history Of ev-

JORDAN THINKS
SOUTH IN NEED
Of LAND BANKS
Cheap Loans on European Model
Spell Financial independence
for Cotton Growers, He Says,

Special Cable to The American.
BY COLONEL HARVlE JORDAN.
Member Of the American Farm
Credits Commission and President
of the Southern Cotton Association
OLDENBERG, GERMANY. June
2S-The capitalization CT Southern
cotton growers through the mortgage
bank system, giving them mortgage
loans at low interest with easy pay
ments, would completely reorganize
the cotton growing industry of the
South | am convinced that the land
mortgage business in America can be
systematized along the lines of SINH
lar mortgage systems in Europe.
If this is done it will bring a new
era of prosperity to the South and
greatly increase the cash returns
from cotton, which now represent
practically the entire balance OF trade
Of the United States.
Southern cotton growers to-day are
just one year behind financially. They
have been behind since the Civil War.
The curse of the cotton farmers is
the store lien system, under which
they are obliged each spring to pur-
chase their supplies on credit from
the supply merchants. Frequently
farmers pay so per cent or more in
excess of the cash price of goods for
the privilege Of this credit More
over, the supply merchants secure
absolute control over the farmers.
The cotton crop has to be marketed
as soon as harvested. Farmers have
practically no control over the mar
ketlng. This is because they have no
financial independence The Ameri =
can commission has studied the mort
gage systems which place European
/ farmers in far stronger positions as
borrowers than our own farmers. In
America we still are clinging to the
/ Anticipated practice Of forcing short
| time loans. on the Agricultural
European farmers borrow through
an Intermediary society and enjoy az
strong positions as any railroad or
municipality. If our Southern farm
ers mortgage their land they must
pay back the entire principal in lump
sum in few years, else pay a costly
/ commission for renewal. So long as
| this e true naturally the farmers
| won't mortgage their land until &C
| tually pressed to the wall.
! In contrast to this European farm
! ers repay their loans in small annual
/ installments. So long as they meet
/ their interest payments they can new
/ er be sold out Their entire payments

are required to pay for interest alone

1t is too bad that u. S. senators

Crawford, we mean. The eccen-

his poor memory in the Hyde case
was one blow which killed faith

have its effects; that is, to place

way of democratic tariff revision
Under Taft the tariff schedule in
its entirety was reduced about
one-third, altho politicians cried
that it was not reduced This ad-
ded reduction will tend to. unload
the burden off the nape of the con
sumner. 1t has been predicted
the tariff is the reck upon which
many a party has been wrecked,
but we now know that a rational
lowering Of the tariff with u view
to the welfare of our millions of
workmen is preferable to free
trade. The democratic party has
not fulfilled its pledge to the letter
of it's platform, because it was
drafted under conditions where
victory seemed impossible. How
ever, up comes one colonel from
Oyster Bay and victory was fore
ed upon the democrats; They now
have the power and are using it
in a rational way. The people ex-
pect much from President Wilson
and they are getting at least some

BAILEY MAY RUN
FOR governor TEX.

Austin, Texas, July 31.-Something
of a stir was caused in state Demo-
e1atic political circles by the state
mefH of close friends of former SEN
ator ]. W. Bailey that he has decided
to make the race for governor next
year and that formal announcement
of his candidacy will probably be made
by him in a public address that he
will deliver at Pilot Point on August
g.. Coincident with this development
came the announcement of former
Congressman Thomas H. Ball of Hous-
ton, that he has retired from the race
for governor. Mr.. Ball and Mr.. Bailey
are warm political and personal
friends. Mr.. Ball says, in part:
Conditions have arisen which ne
cessitate the abandonment of my pur.
pose to retire from the practice OF
law and become a candidate for gov
ernor, subject to the action of the
Democratic primaries in July, 1914
AS some candidates have already an
nounced and others have the matter
under consideration, deem 1t proAel
to give this fact publicity, that al
who feel an interest in my candidac,
may align themselves as they SCI
