ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 27.-A compre
hensive plan to aid cotton brewers and
merchants holding cotton in Georgia
and parts of Alabama and Florida is
announced by the Fourth National
Bank of Atlanta, and is attracting
widespread interest.
In view of the prevailing market con
ditions, and the possibilities in con-
nection with the British blockade on
cotton, the pank has announced thai
as a measure to help general business
in this section, it will until further
notice make approved loans on cotton
to such farmers and merchants, Gus
toners of correspondent banks, as
these banks will recommend.
The discount rate will be six per
cent, and the maximum time llI1lt Will
be six months. The amount will be
seventy-five per cent. of the marke.
value of the cotton.
Provision is made that the cotton
must be insured and stored il Atlantic

Atlanta, Augusta Columbus, Dawson

The unusual advantage of this plan
is that it allows the owners to store
in some nearby warehouse, without
putting them to the necessity of ship

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug 27.-Nude toot-
ties and bare legs are a great aid to
speed in swimming, according to Al
lanta girls who have tried the differ
ence. More latitude, though always
within the bounds of mo1esty, has
been allowed in bathing suits at the
country lakes around Atlanta this
summer, and the women swimmers say
that it would be mighty good idet
to abandon stockings altogether,
since they are very tiresome to the
limbs after they become soaked.
In addition, they say, they interfere
with a natural free movement of he
muscles, particularly in the scissors
stroke, which is about the only stroke
now used for speed by good swim
mers. &.

One sufficient answer to this is that
the appearance of child labor in those
states in which there is as yet little
or no manufacturing must be fore
stalled. and national committee is
needed to this end. Anti-child labor
laws must pre-empt the ground before
a greedy industrialism can stretch

is a sixteen year limit for mines and

has never before set an age limit for
the children who might be employed
in their production.
Now that a sixteen year limit has
been adopted no fourteen or fifteen

was the case in West Virginia last

the cause of disasters in which others
are killed, as it sometimes is where
