Monroe Sets 8 Cents
As Cotton Minimum

Monroe, Ca, August 81. The
merchants and cotton buyers of
Monroe county met here today
and passed a resolution agreeing
to guarantee the farmers 8 cents
per pound for their cotton on COL
lections, this to be the minimum
price. 1t is believed this will
stimulate the farmers bringing
in their cotton for their obliga-
tons to store their cotton and
turn over the warehouse receipts
to their creditors and enable
them TO borrow money on the
receipts.

an engagement of one day Gus
Hill will present for the first time
the fourth edition of Bud Fishers
great cartoon success, "Mutt &
jeff entitled "Mutt & Jeff in

this remarkable attraction will offer
an entire new entertainment for
the coming season, retaining moth
ing but the title and those two

his little friend "OthelIo Mont
gomery Jefries''. The fact has
been conceded by the best news
paper authorities in the world.
that SMUT & Jef'' cartoons, and
likewise the play of the same title,
are the most remarkable successes
IN the history of the Press and
Iheatricals. In a number of cities
where this attraction has played
four and five times in the last two
years, their last engagement was
better than the first and the first
was to the capacity of the theatre.
This seasons offering will show
an entirely new scenic and electri-
cal production, consisting of sew
eral sensational mechanical effects
never before attempted in musi-
cal comedy. A new book, by a
famous author, added to which is
the benefit of the entire theatrical
experience Of that dean and wizard
OF cartoon production, Gus Hill.
Every real cartoon success IN the
last thirty Years has been under
the direction of Mr.. Hill. His sue
cess with Mutt & Jef'' is now
the talk of the entire theatrical
world and his judgment in select
ing the cartoons as the material for
play has made him fortune. No
expense has been spared to make
the new edition even more attrac-
tive than the original production.
An entire new musical score has
been furnished. Don't fail to see
"Mutt and Jeff in Mexico" at the
Grand. The laughs are all new.

COTTON TO TAKE
PLACE OF MONEY
IN FIXING CLAIMS
The Merchants Will Give
Credit on Basis of 8
Cents a Pound.

Acting on the advice Of Savan-
nah bankers a number of merch-
ants will this week send repre-
sentatives into the territory tri-
butary to Savannah to call on the
retailers and arrange to accept
cotton on a basis Of eight cents
the pound in settlement of out
standing accounts. The cotton
will then be stored in the ware
houses Of Savannah and used as
collateral for loans.
To BE Held.
1t is believed eight cents will
be satisfactory price for the
staple at this time. The merch-
ants will receive a credit on the
books of the wholesaler for the
amount and when more health
full market is found the cotton
will be sold to a better advantage.
If price in excess Of eight cents
is obtained the country merchant
will get either a cash return or
will be credited with the differ
ence for future accounts, accord
ing to the terms of the contract
made with the emmissary of the
wholesale firm.
Slow.
Since the development Of the
European crisis collections from
the retail merchants in the coun-
try have been materially curtail-
ed, the country merchants have
in turn found it almost impossi.
BILE to collect from the planter
and a great many of them have
been taking cotton in payment.
Some cotton is taken every year
by the country merchants, but
the amount this year is to be
much larger than ever before.
according to the lookout now.
Broker.
By this arrangement the coun.
try merchant will act as broker
for the planter, giving him his
proper credit at so many cents a
pound, with the understanding
he will be given a return for any
thing in excess, and in this way
there will be a general straighten-
ing out of accounts. The same
plan, it is understood, is being
worked by the fertilizer interests,
who have large country claims
outstanding.
The bringing of the cotton to
Savannah and storing it in the
warehouses will give the whole
sale merchant here a collateral
satisfactory to the banks and a
borrowing power which would be
an asset even under normal con-
ditions. This money can then be
sent North and West to adjust
the claims of the manufacturer,
whose accounts with the whole
salers are correspondingly over
due.
Mr.. Jacob S. Collins, president
of the National Bank of Savan-
nah, stated today the plan would
work satisfactorily and was prob
ably one of the few ways out of
the present difficulty.
At Ten.
Il have advised every merch.
ant who has spoken to me of the
situation to arrange to accept cot
ton on account from the merch-
ant in the country, he said.
Ten cents, l considered, would
be a fair price to credit them
with, but that it is matter for
them to determine. By doing
this it looks as if there can be a
general adjustment of accounts
all down the line and the situa-
ton will be considerably relieved.
Savannah and the Savannah
banks will be we'll able to care
for the cotton and the loans on
this basis. "-Savannah Press.
