White Fields of Sumter Get.
ting HOafy

Americus cotton receipts for the
current month will far exceed August
receipts in any previous year. Already
more than 1000 bales-perhaps 1900
have been marketed here, the major
portion still remaining unsold in the
warehouses, for lack of a market Buy
ers for mills in this country are here
and would pay the market price-pro-
badly nine cents-if the cotton was of
the quality wanted, but most of it has
thus far been packed damp from re-
cent rains and is, therefore, gin-cut
and unsaleable. Farmers would, no
doubt, be glad to sell a small portion
of their cotton for immediate necessi-
ties, holding the main part of the crop
for the better price that is sure to
come when conditions generally i'm
prove. Sumter county has fine crop
and should easily market forty thous-
and bales cotton this season.

Austin, Tex, Aug. 24.-The Texas
legislature assembled here today in
extraordinary session, having been
called together by Governor 0. B.
Colouitt to pass a warehouse bill to
facilitate the holding of cotton. The
hulk of the Texas crop is marketed on
the Eastern hemisphere, and as the
war has closed the European markets
the Texas crop must either be held
until the war is over, thrown upon the
American mills or sold to spectators.
A warehouse bill is proposed to enable
the farmers to store their Gotten in
bonded warehouses, and for the issu-
ance of negotiable receipts under state
supervision. The bankers, 1t is under
stood, will, if desired, loan money on

Meeting Monday in Washing

In Americus, as elsewhere through
out the cotton growing South, all eyes
were turned yesterday upon the ma
tional capital, where was assembled
the convention of Southern representa-
tive farmers and merchants asking
aid from congress in the harvesting
and sale of the present crop. That
some tangible plan would be threshed
out was the opinion or many cotton
dealers here and the result, therefore,
is awaited with keen interest.
AS rejecting the feeling locally, and
in Georgia, Mr.. Lee G. Council, Of
Americas, president of the Georgia
Bankers association, sent the follow
ing telegram yesterday morning to
Senator Hoke Smith, at Washington:
Americus, Ca, August "a, 1914.
Hon. Hoke Smith, Washington, D. C
THE solid Democratic South is facing
financial disaster unless the cotton
crop now being harvested is financed.
Shall the cotton states hold their own,
or suffer serious reverses that will be
felt for ten years? With twenty-five
years experience as a cotton ware
houseman and banker, I see in gov
ernment aid, quickly perfected, the on

and the price may go even lower

Following this important meeting in
Washington yesterday which was at
tended by representative men from all
Of the cotton producing states, each
Southern state will hold this week
state convention at its capital or other
city, for the purpose of further consid.
Grafton of the cotton situation. The
Georgia meeting will be he'd next

central point, and every county in the
state will send three delegates.

the cotton so stored at a low rate OF
interest, enabling the producer to
keep possession Of his cotton.
The Texas crop is estimated at
three and one-half million bales, val
ued at approximately $250,000, 1000.
Texas produces one-fourth of the cot
ton crop of the world. The American
mills are capable of handling about 80
per cent Of the production of the Unit
ed States, leaving 100000 bales to
be exported and of this amount the
English spinners take 100000 bales;
Germany, 100000 bales; France, L.
100000 bales; Italy, 100000 bales, and
the remainder of the exports go to
the mills of Spain, Belgium, Russia,
Japan and other countries.

COMMITTEE WILL
PROTEST ACTION
ANNULING TRAINS
AMERlCUS SENDS DELEGATION
To Appear Before Railway
Commission

committee of Americus business
men will appear this morning before
the State Railway Commission to enter
protest against the granting OF the Pc
tition filed there recently by officials OF
the Seaboard railway, requesting per-
mission to annul the schedules of the
two night passenger and mail trains
on this division of the Seaboard, and,
instead, to convert these through trains
into 'shoofy" trains out of Savannah
and Montgomery, run exclusively in
the interest of these terminal cities
and the nearby territory. The Ameri-
Gus delegation went to Atlanta last
night, and it is understood, will have
the cooperation of some of the other
towns along that part of the Seaboard
that will be affected in the removal of
these through mail trains. 1t is un-
derstood that notification has already
been given by the postoff1ce department
at Washington that if these mail
trains are taken off the Seaboard, as
proposed, that the action may be con-
sidered as final, as the department will
not again re-establish this mail SER
vice. Besides the loss of two import
ant through passenger trains, Ameri-
Gus and other points between Richlani
and Helena, a distance of 125 miles,
will lose permanently this mail service
if the schedules now in operation are
annulled.
