that his words were intended to as

main to occupy Mexican territory, but

BUMPER COTTON
CROP SWAMPS
RAILROAD

Cold type and figures don't tell you
much about the cotton crop that Geor-
gia is marketing just now.
But the lively term, "embargo," with
its semi warlike tang, may warm up
the figures especially If you live in
Atlanta, which is the object of a reg
ular cotton embargo" ordered Sun
day by the Southern Railway.
There simply was too much cotton
to handle. 1t was coming too fast.
On the tracks of Atlanta yards Tues
day morning were 500 cars, crammed
with cotton-60 to 65 bales in every
car-nearly 10000 bales.
In the vast Atlanta warehouses of
the Atlantic Compress Company was
nearly as much more cotton, await
ing its turn under the presses to fl
1t for export
Atlanta was crammed with cotton
the early part of this week. The "em-
barge" was the only remedy.
Embargo 10 Put On.
So the embargo went on Sunday
morning. Orders were issued in the
most impartial manner that the
Southern Railway agents should not
accept cotton from connecting lines
at any point for shipment to Atlanta;
that they should not accept cotton
even from the little dealers at the
small stations for shipment to At
lanta.
They might divert it, by agreement
with the shipper, to Macon or to Sa-
vannah where the big plants of the
Atlantic Compress Company are still
managing to keep up with the game.
But not to Atlanta. Atlanta was
submerged by prodigious tidal wave
of the prosperity on which rides a
crest of the great white staple.
w l.. Peel, Of the American Ma
tional Bank, and a keen observer of
big business, laughed little in sheer
good humor as he talked of the en-
barge this morning.
Banks Can Handle Crop.
mo trouble about the money! he
said. Atlanta banks and the banks
Of the South are in the fittest condi-
ton Of their history to handle this
bumper crop. But it seems the rail-
ways are swamped The crop is
bumper crop, and the price, instead OF
falling off, has held up so that every
body is marketing his cotton as fast
as it can be ginned. Big times In
