Finds Farmers in the Delta
Have Plenty of Money for
Supplies-Are Hold
ing Cotton

Not only is business good in Mississippi
according to J. Jessel of the Marzstein
Brothers Millinery company. but there is
cash business in that territory. Mr..
Jessel travels Mississippi for the Mark
stein company. He says that the outlook
for the spring. trade was never better and
that there is plenty of money in the
Delta, where nothing but cotton is raised
"Of course, there has been practically
no market for cotton" said Mr.. Jessel
but the people In the Delta have money
they have been saving for years. The
cotton In that section is being held for q
better market, and the people are living
as well as they always have. I happened
to be in grocery store a few days age
when an old negro farmer came in for the
purpose of purchasing supplies. He placed
ten dollar gold piece on the counter to
pay for his purchase and was asked by
the store-keeper where he got 1t.
Why, boss, replied the negro. I has
been a-savin' that money for the las ten
year and L got enough to last me till
can sell my five bales
And that same condition exists throug-
out the Delta. 1 believe our spring trade
will show up exceedingly well. The pros
poets now are excellent"

REGARD DONOVAN
AS ONE OF C|TY'S
EXPERT GOLFERS
+. w. Blackboard Tells Good
Story of His Partners
Initial Game on
the Links

William f. Donovan of the William f.
Donovan Provision company is one of
the most expert golfers in Birmingham.
Most business men have hobbies and in
solf Mr.. Donovan seeks solace from busi-
ness cares. Last week at the Roebuck
club course Mr.. Donovan played one of
the best games of his career, according
to his accomplish in the provision bust
ness f. W. Blackboard.
Mr.. Blackford says Mr.. Donovan be-
gan with good stroke at the first hole
and continued to improve until he reached
the eighteenth hole. He made this in a
very few strokes and then made the
nineteenth in seven This is considered
teenth hole especially after Mr.. Dono-
van had played such hard game on
the first round of IS holes.
Mr.. Blackford tells story of Mr.. Dom
ovan's embryonic golf playing that is
worth repeating. 1t seems, according to
the story, that Mr.. Donovan had received
elaborate Instructions from the man en-
aged for that purpose as to the value OF
keeping ones eye on the ball while
swinging the club for the stroke. Mr..
Donovan tried 1t three times increasing
Inc HeiSHl u the Sduu upon WHICH iiS
ball rested each time. After the third
trial some officious person told him to
keep his eye on the ball. Shades of
Caesar!
Il put my eye on it, said Mr.. Dono-
van, but when I bring the club down
the blamed thing moves
Finally, however, he got the ball off
the teeing ground only to lose it. When
he finally located the ball it was resting
between a tuft of grass and pebble the
size of an egg. Mr.. Donovan called his
caddie, changed clubs, and addressed the
ball. In fact, it is said, he delivered
lecture to it which delved not only into
the personal life of that particular ball,
but went back to the anteeedents of all
golf balls, with especial reference to the
ancestors of that particular golf ball he
vas attempting to remove from its rest
ing place without touching his hands to it
After much delay the first game was
abandoned. Mr.. Donovan at the present
writing, however. can give most Bir-
mingham golfers a handicap and win.
Some day he will challenge Francis
Ouimet and things'll happen.

says that reports from statesmen indi-
cate that there Is a gradual improve

1.-THE situation throughout the cotton
belt is beginning to improve, owing to
the fact that the holders of cotton are
more inclined to dispose OF it at prices
ranging from to cents pound said
Mr. Ewing. According to the travelling
statesmen for Roberts & Son the actual
cash market for cotton throughout the
territory at the present time does not
exceed cents. However, many advanc-
ing merchants, to cooperate with their
customers, are paying over cents for
1t. This is encouraging liquidation, which
is a good sign and should help busi-
ness.
II Is pretty Wcl uiutiSlOOQ anu COI-
ceded that cotton is not going to bring
more than 8 cents a pound within the
next six months, at least, and, therefore,
If farmers can liquidate at that price,
it would be a wise policy for them to
do SO. 1t would encourage business,
too.
ut required big jolt to the farmers
to bring them to a realization of the
value of crop Investigation and the pres
ent situation is the outcome of that jolt
The work has been done, however, and
there is an evident tendency ON the part
of farmers to plant food crops next
year. They are going to raise more
corn, oats, hay, peas, beans. cattle and
hogs than ever before, and but little
attention will be given cotton
THAT existing conditions, together with
the advent of cold weather, means that
business is looking up is not doubted.

1.-THE city with the pay roll of mil

reply.
And it is a fact about the few 9TH
ers" Birmingham is overburdened with
slogans, and statesmen when questioned
by rival statesmen in other cities are at
a loss to say what really is the slogan
of Birmingham.
Assistant Secretary Oliver Cox of the
Rotary club suggested sometime ago
that it would be we'll for Birmingham
to have one slogan to which every
one in the city could point with pride
He suggested also that the entire city
be invited to submit solgans, from
which the most fitting could be Sc
lected and used as a synonym for Bir-
mingham. Hence this article.
Trade in Birmingham
The Board of Trades Birmingham
Slogan is TRADE in Birmingham" The
Chamber of Commerce says it is "The
City with the Pay Roll of Million
Week. Others give various and sun
dry slogans ranging from "The City
of Beautiful Homes and 1.-THE Tour
lists City to THE City of Conven-
lions" and THE Pittsburg of the
South" Now, where are We?
A phrase or an epigram expressive
of any particular city or locality is a
contemporaneous adjuct to civic life.
1t is said that Chicago was the first
city to adopt slogan, using two
words: 81 Will" In the middle west
this phrase has become synonymous
with Chicago
According to Town DEVELOPMENT
slogans for cities are divided into five
classes, as follows: The casual slogan,
which is a genial Introduction to the
entering stranger: the persuasive, slo-
gan, cordial invitation not only to en-
ter but to share in the imminent pros
perity of the city, the assertive slo-
gan, full of pride and sublimely con-
scious of its truth, directed at the out
slider, who knows not the advantages
of patronizing that particular city; tho
descriptive slogan, which is calculated
to impress the stranger with the de-
STABILITY, beauty or prosperity &C the
city for which it stands; the eXhor-
tative slogan, different from all the
others, being directed not to the out
slider but to the people of the city
themselves.
