PRESIDENT WILSON JOINS
BUY BALE OF COTTON CLUB

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 9.-President
Woodrow Wilson has joined the Geor-
gia movement to buy bale" of cot
ton, and forwarded $50 to the Atlanta
committee, asking that his name be
entered among the subscribers. His
bale will be bought, placarded and
given prominent place in the city.
The President gladly joined the
movement when Senator Hoke Smith
sought him at the White House and
showed him the Importance of the sit
uation in Georgia. congressman of
the Georgia delegation also entered
the movement gladly and telegraphel
their orders to Atlanta.
The movement is growing rapidly.
The Atlanta committee yesterday af-
ternoon had a total of SOP bales pur-
chased, and the system had hardly
been perfected The Atlanta district
will be thoroughly organized tomorrow
and canvassing begun A conference
of representative from the ten con-
centration points in the state will also
be held tomorrow in the chamber OF
commerce building.
Commissioner James D. Price of the
department of agriculture, is sending
out letters to the state press asking
the editors to aid in a campaign for a
reduction Of cotton acreage and diver
sifcation of crops.
In order for the farmer to pass
through this trying period without ma.
terial loss it will be necessary for
him to post himself as to cotton ana
the manner Of handling it," wrote Mr.
Price. eve see now our crude system
of handling cotton and it is opportunt
for the press of the state to post tn;
! farmer not only for handling the pres
ent crop but making improvements TO!
the future
"In addition to this, Georgia mus
produce more food crops. Therefore
we should conduct a general campaigl
! to arouse the farmer to fully appre
ciate this"

to ignorance and faint-heartedness Of
the people, for the properties are
there and some are indestructible. But
just the same the warning nations
will lose credit and purchasing power
and will be subjected for an in
definite period to sufferings and pri-
vations, all of which must be inter
preted as loss of so much money.
Lcsses in Industrial Pursuits.
"Second-AIl losses, individual and
collective, causes by interference OF
war with wheelwork of manufacture,
industry and commerce. These reflect
particularly on the market value Of
negotiable securities which consti-
tute from 20 to 80 per cent. of the
whole national wealth. For obvious
reasons they are apt to be very large,
arc the shrinkage may easily amount
for the above period to $1O0,OO0.OO0 a
day.
"I'hird-Specifc losses due to de-
struction of existing private and pub
lie property, including implements
and Materials of war. These will
greatly depend on the circumstances,
but may be placed at from $5O,OOO,OO0
to $75,OOO,OOO a day.
"Fourth-Loss of life and disabling
through wounds and disease. Judging
from the data of the Balkan war, the
casualties cannot be taken at less
than Is per cent, making the total Of
100000 Assuming an average ST.
500 per individual, this waste will be
nearly $14,OOOOOO a day.
"Fifth-Daily cost of military
operations, which may amount to
from $25,OOO,OOO to $3O,OOO,OOO.
According to this rough estimate
the total waste cannot be much less
than $7O,0OO,O 100000, making almsot q
per cent of the total wealth of the
countries in the world. In the best
circumstances it will take from 40 to
80 years to repair the financial dam
age, not to speak of the injury to the
races and retardation of social pro.
gress in all directions"
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-09-10

tician such a war, far from being
costly, would be the very means Of
creating wealth.
1T is equally unreasonable to de-
fine the waste of international conflict
as the excess of waste in time of war
over that in time of peace. A guam
tity "b" may be deducted from 4
quantity "a" and the difference will
be "a-b" on supposition, however,
that the quantities are composed OF
identical units. q
'Now, while the same human beings
are concerned both in peace and war
these two states bear no resemblance
to each other. In one, reason and So
Der sense, a feeling of safety and de-
sire to do justice prevail; in the other
these beneficial influences are weak
ened, and folly, fear and greed assert
assert themselves. War changes in
diyiduals as well as values.
Enormous Losses.
"A true appreciation of the enor-
nous losses which are likely to result
from this unprecedented calamity caH
only be gained by taking into account
its effect on all phases and conditions
of individual and national existence
Stated in the order of their magnitude
these losses may be enumerated as
follows:
First, temporary or permanent
shrinkage of wealth of nations as dis
tinct from negotiable securities. The
total wealth of the countries involved
is about three hundred billions of
dollars. Assume only a moderate pro-
duction of ten per cent. and suppose
further that the war should last from
six to seven months or about 200
days, as forecast by experts, then the
daily shrinkage will amount to $780,
100000. To be sure such depreciation
of physical possessions is mostly due

MUNICIPAL PARADE AND

Baltimore, Md, Sept. 9.-Among the
leading events of the Star SpangleI
Banner Centennial cerebration are the
municipal parade and the electrical

partment of the city hall will be rep
resented in the big parade, which will
be lead by the visiting mayors and gov

This item of food is just one of the
many which are proper subjects for

Georgia Chamber of Commerce and

New York, Sept. 9-Taking issue
with other statisticians more moderate
in their estimates, Nikola Tesla, the
famous inventor of electrical cOntriV
ances, said today the total cost Of the
general war now going on probibly
will not be less than $70,0O0,OO0, 900.
The present war may easily involve
20,000000 combatants," said Mr.. Tesla.
Il have seen an estimate of total
cost of $5O,O00,OO0 a day. This is too
low. The number of those disabled
through wounds and disease was re-
Gently placed at 100000. This, also,
is too moderate. 1t would be less
than two and one half per cent, and
it must be remembered that in the
most recent great war preceding this,
the Balkan struggle, the casualties
were ten times greater, or twenty
five per cent.
observe that it is reported Belgium
lost $3OO,OO0,OOO in two weeks fight
ing, while there were no large cities
in the path of the Germans.
"The difficulty with most statisti-
clans of war losses is that they simply
consider the cost of military opera
tions. This is a small fraction of the
whole waste.
Measure Losses.
"To measure the losses due to war
merely by statistical standards is
absurd. An example will make this
clear. The strain imposed upon i
country in a state of siege is com
polling of strict economy. The saw
ings thus affected go to offset the
drain of war. theoretically it is pos
sible for nation, by living on bread
and water and curtailing all expenses,
to accumulate enough for not only
meeting the most of the military oper-
ations but leaving surplus besides.

His older daughter, who had a

put her hand on his shoulder.

said. "Saucha was not unhappy
a moment until she died. She
loved Mr.. Symone very dearly,

and deed simply because he puts
her on pedestal too high above

she, that he reverences and

BLOWS TOP OF HEAD OFF

&
Homer Palmer committed suicide
at 6 O'Clock Friday morning last week
by shooting off the top of his head at
the home of Y. L. Willard at Sheldon
Junction, where he had boarded for
the past four years while he was
working on the railroad section. Pal
mer was "a years of age.
Early Friday morning Mrs. Hattie
Clark, who is employed by Mrs. Will
ard, heard Palmer call to her. She
went to his room and saw him stand
ing in the middle of the floor. Pal
mer told her he was going away and
wouldn't be down for breakfast. Mrs
Clark told him he better get break
fast before he started and then left
him and went down stairs. Present
ly she heard the report OF gun.
The other members Of the house
hold were aroused, and Oh going to
the room of Palmer they found his
body stretched across the bed with
the gun resting between his knees.
The top of the head was blown off.
Evidently the man fired the weapon
by using a cleaning rod of the gun.
II is said that of late Palmer had
been drinking considerably. He had
no relatives, so far as known.
