A., B. & A. Strikes
Securities Snag

Receivers of the Atlanta, Birming
ham and Atlantic railroad have been
unable TO make arrangements to re-
tire the S4.7OO.O0O of 5 per cent re-
ceivers' certificates which fall due
Tuesday, July l.
II is believed the certificates will
be made to bear per cent from ma
turity until paid, which may be for
some time, in view of the condition
Of the money market.
H. NJ. Atkinson and r. T. Lamb left
Atlanta early in the week for New
York, where they now are endeavOr-
ing to arrange for refunding the Sc
curities, which in effect are notes
made one year ago.
In the absence of these men, rep
resenting respectively majority and
minority bondholders, no one in the
A. b. and A. offices here was able
to say just what progress has been
made
The notes in question were sold to
retire an issue of $3.50, 900 receivers
obligations and equipment trusts, and
to provide for certain improvements
The road went into the hands of a
receiver January 2, 1909.

I. COTTON CROPS
1872 VALUE
Federal Report Shows the South
Produced 14,313,O15 Bales.
Less Than 1911 Production.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The
Southern cotton planter should wor-
~. According to a bulletin soon to
be issued by Director Durand, Of the
Bureau of Census, Department of
Commerce, the cotton crop for the
United States in 1912 amounted to
14,3l3.015 bales of 500 pounds each,
and was worth the trifiing sum of
1920. $50, 900.
Although the crop last year was
ll.9 per cent less than that of the
previous year. It was worth $50, $780,
600 more than it was in 1911. This
almost equals the banner year for
cotton, which was in 1910, when he
crop amounted to but 1905. 6SS bales,
1907 1927 bales less than it did this
year, but was worth 1868, $50, 900 the
most valuable crop ever raised in
this country. While 1910 led in value,
1911 led in amount, the crop that
year being 16,250,276 bales.
The statistics show that the cot
ton crop for the past foUr Years has
increased 80 per cent When II Is
considered that, of the totaI area 81
the countries from which returns of
cotton ginned were made, only about
one eleventh was devoted to the pro-
duction of cotton in 1911 and 1912, the
figures afford some idea of the pos
sibilities of cotton production in the
United States.

Miss Lalla B. Cannon.

Miss Eulalia Bright Cannon, the
Atlanta girl who was designated by
Professor Sergei Klibansky as pos
SCISSOR of the great American voice"
and awarded a S3.00O-a-year grand
opera scholarship, win be heard at a
free concert of the Atlanta Music
Festival Association at the Audito
rum at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
She will sing the aria, 20 Don Fa-
tale" from Don Carlos" the song
that won her the greatest honor, per-
haps, ever accorded an American vo-
cal student
Miss Cannon, who prefers to be
known as I.alla B. Cannon, is spend
ing her vacation with her mother,
Mrs L. c. Cannon, OF SAT Peachtree
Street. She is a dramatic soprano
with a truly wonderful range, and
unless her friends prevail upon her to
give a benefit recital this viii prob
ably be her only appearance In At
lanta this summer. In August or
early September she will return to
New York to resume her operate
studies under Professor KlibansSy. as
holder of the scholarship given by a
wealthy New York woman.
81 always have aspired to grand
opera" Miss Cannon told a Georgian
reporter yesterday. 81 think il is the
grandest career in the world l have
accepted the scholarship Professor
Klibansky win say how long l must
study in America and when l must
go to Europe and whether l shall be-
come an opera singer. l shall do just
what he says. and l do so hope he
will think l am fitted for opera"
Gives Her Mother Credit.
Since it all depends on Professor
Klibansky's dictum. 1t can be assert
| ed dogmatically that Miss Cannon
| VIII become a grand opera star. In
selecting her over 400 competitors,
men. women and girls Klibansky said
| her voice undoubtedly was capable of
as wonderful development as any OF
| the great sopranos now heard in
! Wagnerian opera.
To her mother Miss Cannon owes
| and freely gives the credit for the
! fairylike fortune by which she rose
to fame overnight and her sparkling
! prospects Tor a future career. A
singer from babyhood. Miss Cannon
always thought she was a mezzo, and
| her teachers. even until few months
ago in New York, shared her belief
| She wanted to sing all the time, but
| her mother prevailed upon her to de-
| sist, that she might not waste her
powers by untutored efforts. When
! she went TO New York to study she
scrupulously refrained from vocal ex-
ertion. and although the strain of
| practice taxed her strength. her vocal
/ capa bilities were conserved until she
sang before Klibansky and was pro-
nounced not a mezzo. but a dramatic
| soprano Of rare quality and power.
Since then she has sung before
/ Madame Gadski. and the peerless
diva has expressed the wish to hear
her again when next she visits Amer
| lea. To her acceptance Of her moth
er's advice. Miss Cannon ascribes the
preservation of her voice till the for
tunate meeting with Klibansky
Fortune Came by Accident.
And here IS how she sang for Xiii
banslly and won the scholarship. as
she told IT to The Georgian:
"A girl friend saw in The New
York American an advertisement for
the great American voice inserted
by Professor Klibansky He had
taught in the Berlin Conservatory,
and was then an instructor in Dam

BOARD AID
FOR MARRIAGE
BILL ASKED
State Board of Health Depart
ment Already Has Endorsed
Hixon Measure.

Efforts to obtain from the State
Board of Health an endorsement of the
pure marriage" bill, introduced into
the Senate by Senator ]. T. Hixon,
will be made by friends Of the meas
ure according to an announcement
made by Senator Hixon Saturday
morning. One physician employed in
the offices Of the Bvard of Health al
ready has sought out Senator Hixon
and assured him he would lend his
personal support to the measure
Senator Hixon said the work of
bringing the attention of the Board
of Health to the bill probably would
be under the direction of DR.. B. l..
Emory of Villa Rica, Ga, author Of
the bill, and at whose request it was
introduced by Senator Hixon.
DIR. Emory, it is said, personally
will present the bill to the Board Of
Health and ask cooperation in OBJ
tanning it's passage. The bill was en-
dorsed by the Carroll County Medical
Society before it was brought to At
lanta Senator Hixon is using this
written endorsement of the measure
as a lever to swing votes for it.
Expects Bill to Get Attention.
Senator Hixon is confident his bill
will be taken seriously and that 1t will
receive the careful consideration of
the Senate. II raises the marriage
age limit in Georgia from IA to Is
in the case of the woman, and for
bids any man marrying who is less
than IS years Of age
By far the most important features
Of the bill, in the opinion of SEN
ator Hixon and its friends, are the
provisions prohibiting the granting of
marriage licenses to persons VINO are
afflicted with tuberculosis or other
chronic and contagious diseases, and
to persons who are habitual drunk
ards or addicted to the drug habit.
Will Help Prevent Disease.
Senator Hixon is anxious to see his
marriage bill become a law. He de-
clares the passage Of such a bill will
do more to stamp out disease than
all other kinds of legislation that
might be passed.
Several of the most progressive
States in the Union" Senator Hixon
declared. have laws similar to this
bill. and they have worked wonder
fully we'll
II expect to live to see the time
when such a law will be on the stat
ute books of every State, and when
that time comes there will be fewer
| lunatics and less contagious and
hereditary diseases than now"

rosch's Conservatory, known as the
Institute of Musical Art My friend
told me about the advertisement, and
went to see Professor Klibansky
that afternoon. There were so many
other singers there that it was late
when / sang The Birth of Morn a
simple song, for him. He told me
to come back the next morning, and
did. l sang % Don Fatale,' the aria
from Don Carlos, and as you know,
won the scholarship"
When it is considered that the
honor of being declared possessor of
"the great American voice" and re-
ceiving the $4,000 annual scholarship
had been promised to another girl
before Miss Cannon sang for Kliban-
sky, it readily is seen her recital be-
fore him must have convinced him
she was another Jenny Lind or AIDE
lima Patti in embryo.
The other girl was Miss Jean Vim
cent Cooper, of Jackson, Miss. Pro-
fessor Klibansky told the wealthy
patroness 1t would be a shame for
either of the girls to miss securing
the best instruction obtainable, par
ticularly when Miss Cooper was a
mezzo and Miss Cannon a soprano
and each was without a peer in her
own field. The patroness then agreed
to duplicate ner offer and Miss Coop
er and Miss Cannon each were
awarded the honor and the prize
Asked what she thought of the
opera as a career for aspiring girls,
Miss Cannon replied, Really, can't
say. To tell the truth, don't know,
for l myself am not in opera yet. But
I want to try 1t, for l think 1t will be
splendid"
