FLUCTUATIONS IN
COTTON MARKET
Will BE GREAT
THE MARKET is STRONGER
And Higher Range Of Values
Expected

New Orleans, La, Sept. 15.-Wide
fluctuations were brought about in the
cotton market during the week, ad
vances being caused by the more fav-
orable news from Washington regard
ing legislation against future trading
and the downward movements by the
heavy rains in the western half OF
the belt which effectually put an end
to the drouth and caused talk of top
crop. The net results were an adj
vance of 80 to SO points. The hign
prices were made on Tuesday and the
low on Friday. At the highest the
trading months were GO to 60 points
over last weeks close; at the lowest
they were / to points over. The
range of 81 to 81 points.
The course of prices his week in the
cotton market will depend principally
on two things-weather conditions
and the spot demand. There is a pos
sibility of course that developments in
Washington in relation to proposed
legislation concerning future trading
may arise but that is not generally eN.
pected by traders.
The spot demand thus far this
season has not been brisk and this
fact has been used by the bear side to
some advantage. The situation in the
spot department will be watched very
closely and indication of further
holding off on the part of the buyers
would cause renewed confidence on
the part of those bearishly inclined
while any improvement would stimu-
late buying of futures for the long ac-
count. k4

4 WHAT A LAWYER

Located in the lower part of middle
Georgia, just above the fiat lands of
the state, the City of Americas, from
a climatic standpoint has the advant-
age of perhaps any other city in the
state, knowing neither the rigors Of
the northern winter nor the sultry
days of the extreme southern part of
the state She is the queen of perhaps
the richest farming section in the En-
pire State of the South, her lands be-
ing adaptable to all kinds of agricul-
tural products, and from the standpoint
of area ranking first among all the
counties of the state in agricultural
products. With her matchless climate,
her fertile lands, her excellent water
and above all the high class of her
citizens, we'll may Americas and Sum-
ter county claim the title of the Queen
City of the grandest state in the Amer
lean union.

Heading OFF The Boil Weevil.


The plans that have been suggest
ed for the control of the boil weevil,
since it has made its appearance in
this country, have been numerous and
varied. Ons that has been suggested
from time to time has recently been
given new life by Senator Smith, OF
South Carolina. 1t is the simple one
(on paper) of prohibiting the growth
of cotton in belt of varying width, but
sufficiently wide, in the opinion o.
those making the suggestions, to pre-
vent the weevils crossing it. Senator
Smith proposes to stop the growing
of cotton in belt 80 miles wide i'm
mediately east of the area now infest-
ed with weevils This might or might
not prevent the weevils advance east
ward. They have Travelled eastward
for more than 100 miles in one year
in south Mississippi, and it is proba-
BILE the belt would have to be twice 80
miles wide to stop their advance.
In fact, the plan is pleasant
dream, but entirely impracticable. This
belt on which no cotton is grown
would have to be permanent
somewhere. If made stationary, the
balance of the cotton belt now infested
would remain infested, or if the belt
was made twice the distance necessary
to stop the weevils and annually NOV
ed half the difference westward il
time the Mexican border would be
reached and then the belt in which the
growing of cotton is prohibited would
have to remain permanently in that
location in order to prevent invasion
from Mexico. If it be granted that
such a plan would prove effective t.
rigidly enforced and that it would be
profitable, it is still impossible of ex-
ecution. 1t would require many mill
lions of dollars and not much less than
a million soldiers to enforce such a
restriction. Such plan could only
be successful when the growing o.
cotton was absolutely prohibited over
an area wide enough to prevent the
weevils crossing it. How wide such
a belt would have to be no one knows
but we do know that they have over
come every obstacle placed in their
way and we also have the established
fact that such belt 20 miles wide on
The western Louisiana border offered
no serious obstruction to their marcn
eastward.
The plan is simply impracticable, be-
cause it would be impossible to carry
it out--Tait Butler, in The Progress
i've Farmer.

Three of the banks occupy perman-

selves. These are the Planters Band,
whose handsome four story building is
the only Office building in the city OF
anv size: the Bank of Commerce,
which purchased the former postoffice
building and reconstructed its lower
floor last year into one of the most at

section. and the Commercial City
whose beautiful edifice is an ornament
to Americas, and tribute to the pro-

other two banks, having comfortable
