Savannah's Mayor Says Cotton
Slump Will Help South.

NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-The low price OF
cotton ultimately will prove blessing to
the South Mayor Richard ]. Davant, Of
Savannah, declared at the Hotel Mar
Unique today. He said that huge cotton
loss was about tho only thing that would
bring about a complete reorganization of
the agricultural methods of the Southern
States.
Most farmers in the South are small
farmers" he said. "They have found 1t
easy to raise cotton, and they raise little
else. Now that the market for cotton has
been seriously impaired. they will be
forced to diversity their crops. Thus they
will not only improve their lands, but
they will have something to fall back on
when there is no demand for cotton"

cities" said Leo Shubert today, 'the
shows that are unqueStionably worth
while are doing a big business, but even
here many a play which in an ordinary
year would get by is doing no business

failing his activities"
