MOVE To STRING
OUT DEBTS ON
COTTON

Prominent bankers, fertilizer deal
ers and commission merchants IN
every part of Georgia have been APP
preached by the Georgia Chamber Of
Commerce in an effort to ascertain
the feasibility of changing the system
of rural credits now in vogue in the
State whereby the debts of the farm
ers of the State which mature at the
cotton picking season could fall dus
in equal parts in September, Jan
uary and April.
Could such a system be worked out,
it is thought that the present depres-
sion caused by throwing great guam
titles of cotton on the market at
picking time could be largely avoided.
Farmers Could Hold Cotton.
Under the proposed system the
farmer who now has to market
practically his whole crop at picking
time could hold the larger part of 1t
for better prices.
To ascertain the attitude of the men
who extend the largest amount Of
credit to the farmers of the State the
State Chamber has sent out 500 let
ters to bankers, fertilizer dealers and
commission merchants asking that
they answer the following questions:
81. Would it be practicable for the
bankers, fertilizer dealers. Supply
merchants and others who give credit
to the farmer to Jointly agree as fol-
lows: To have notes, taken in pay
ment, mature in three equal portions
at different dates, say one-third in
October, one third in January and
one third in April?
"2. To adjust as far as may be
possible, their own financial arrange
ments to conform TO the foregoing
plan Of extended credits that it might
not work hardship to those making
loans and advancing supplies?
"3. Do you think such system
could be established, and if so, would
it tend to strengthen the cotton mar
ket by giving the growers greater
range of time in which to sell?'
The Georgia Chamber of Commerce
hopes to get a consensus of opinion
from those actually engaged in eX-
tending rural credits, in order that the
feasibility of a readjustment of the
present system of credits on this
basis may be ascertained.

ture of the dry goods situation and
one that promises continued mill aCtiv-

by our mills so far this season. the sup
ply of dry goods is relatively light.
our market gained few points in the
early trading, but soon experienced a
little reaction on realizing. While opin-
ion is bullish for the future, trading is
cautious on the ground that pessimism
and bearish designs Still exist in other
quarters and become active on short
notice.

MEMORIAL OF HEALING MARTYR

NEW YORK. Feb. 5.-ln St. Pat. ricks Cathedral and in many other Catholic churches in this city there was observed today a quaint annual custom, which has been handed down through many centuries, commemor- ating the miracles in healing throat diseases. wrought by St. Biasius, or Blase. bishop and martyr St. Bias. ius was bishop of Sebaste, a city in Lesser Asia, and during his retire ment in the hills near the city he attsined such degree of sanctity that he was enabled to cure ailments of the thrca al merely by the laying on of his hands. He suffered martyrdom in the year 3l6 in the reign of Dlo- cletian. On his name day the still faithful flock to the church tried to invoke bis aid in securing relief from maladies of the throat. The cere- monies consist usually in holding to lighted candles in the form Of an angle about the throat of the afflicted person while the priest repeats brief ancient Latin formula, in which the aid of the saint is invoked in preventing or curing the malady.

TAX COMMISSION ISSUE
 RAISED BY GOVERNOR
 IS MAKING A STIR
Politicians Now Believe That
 the Outcome Will Be the Election of a Full Board

Phoenix Bureau cf the Review, PHoENIX. Ariz, Feb. 5.--That Ari. zma will elect a complete tax com mission of three members next No vember is the opinion of many alter neys and political observers: at the capital They are of the opinion that Commissioner Charles R. Howe is not soing to be allowed to held over till lsl7. that if he desires to remain on the commission he must make a cam paign and be elected.
 1t all hinges on the power of the governor to appcint a man 10 an elective office, to serve therein after the following general election. Re gently the supreme court of Califor- nia decided that the governor of that state had no such authority. A cer- tain perscn had been appointed to q newly created office. and had been appointed to serve beyond the time of the next general election. The court decided that his term could not extend beyond that election.
 The Arizona constitution, 1t is claimed. gives the governor nc more power than the California chief exc. cutive enjoys. If this contention is upheld, Howe will be disappointed. He was appointei by Governor Hunt to the long term on the commission. r. j. Miller drew the short term and C. M. Zander the intermediate. As there was no general election Tn i9I2, Miller is boldlng over till 1915. The places of himself and zander certainly will have to be filled at the the November election. Zander and Miller will be candidates for re-elec' tion. so will Howe, if his term does net extend to 1917.
