Bros, the great cotton merchants
are advising their thousands Of cor
respondents in the West and North
west that the cotton investment is
safe as bond, and urging purchase

them will buy bale. or more.
If tae Southern farmer could az
ford to hold his cotton until the war
is over there would be no problem.
But to thousands o.: Southern farm
ers the sale of their cotton means
the money to pay their bills! If
these farmers cannot sell their cot
ton they cannot pay their bills.
When the farmer cannot pay his
bills the merchant suffers, and tne
doctor and tne schoolmaster, and the
preacher and everybody. And when
everybody suffers in the South every
body suffers that the South owes
North, East and West-manufactur-
ers, merchants and capitalists.
A National Question.
SO it is directly national ques-
ton.
Buy bale of cotton and prevent
this national misfortune.
The New York American and the
Hearst newspapers begin today an
efforts to nationalize this splendid
Georgia movement. At the Park
Row oficce, the Thirty-eighth street
Office, the Fifty-nintn street Office Of
The American there will be found a
bale OF cotton labelled to buy, and
inside these Offices the purchase of
one or more bales can be made
through the Atlanta Daily Georgian,
Of Atlanta, tie Southern newspaper

plan will prevail in Boston and Cli-

Cotton Insurance.

Tie eleven county mutual fire in
surance companies in this State are
being urged to insure cotton by In
surance Commissioner MeMaster.
These companies principally insure
property Of farmers.
il this regard, Commissioner Nc
Master today gave out the following
statement:
'There are eleven mutual fire in
surance companies doing business in
the following counties O.: this State:
Oconee, Anderson, 'Abbeville-Green-
wood, Cherokee-Spartanburg, York
Lancaster Chester, Fairfield Union,
Newberry, Darlington and Marlboro.
These companies insure farm dwell
ings, tenant houses and household
furniture
Commissioner McMaster is urging
them, either separately or by union
of their forces, to provide for the In
suring of cotton. To observe the
equities cotton should be put in a
special class and subject to special
rates. Furthermore, the companies
should require that it be stored in
particular manner in order that the
equities among the various policy
holders may be observed.
These mutual companies have
been insuring farm property hereto
fore at rates varying from about %
cents to 50 cents per hundred dollars.
These rates are very much less than
those charged by tie stock companies
and the commissioner feels that if
these companies would organize to
insure the cotton of their policy
holders that they would be Of great
benefit to the farmers

'sBuy a Bale of Cotton" after the
great impetus given the movement
by Mr.. Hearst is coming to be a
rallying cry of national prosperity.
The South is rallying to it with
admirable faith and loyalty-with
Atlanta and Georgia leading the
way.
The splendid national spirit OF our
country is illustrated in the prompt
approval and practical sympathy of
American citizens East and West.
Armour, of Chicago, buys 700
bales at 10 cents a pound, one bale
for1eac1 of his 700 agencies.
The great Western financier knows
that a bale of cotton is as good as
a government bond, and that the in
vestment is safe one with a sound
promise of good profit at an early
day.
The people in Berlin are paying
Is cents pound for every bale of
cotton they can get.
If Berlin is willing to pay this
price in war times, think what Ber-
lin will pay when this war is over
and the eager race for recuperation
begins.
