Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 31-A plan
to take care of the southern cotton
crop in the face Of Englard's con-
traband order and other prevailing
market conditions, has just been
put forward by the Fourth Nation
al Bank of Atlanta, which pledges
itself to do what it can toward
coping with the situation in Geor-

The bank announces that it will,
until further notice make approx
ed loans on cotton to such farmers
and merchants, customers of cor
respondent banks, as these latter
banks will recommend.
Loans will be made for any time
that may be desired up to a period
of six months, at discount rate

WELCOME TO FITZGERALD"

NelCLer OF US looked very pre-
sentable; in fact dust-covered
and travel-weary am not at all
sure but that we very properly
could be classed, at least for the
moment, as closely akin to the
vagrant species.
But scarcely had we reached
the waiting room of the Seaboard
station when young lady smil-
ingly advanced to my wife, held
out her hand and with unafect-
ed genuineness and grace, said:
Welcome to Fitzgerald"
| do not know if it is the Fitz-
gerald way to have charming
young women meet all trains and
bid honest welcome to the strang-
er, but l do know that this graci-
Gus courtesy on the part of the
lady, whose name I unhappily do
not recall, made my wife and |
feel right at home. And we are
right at home in Fitzgerald.
On the way to the hotel my
wife, the tired expression re-
placed by the recollection of a
pleasing incident, turned to me
and said: Il now know what
you mean when you recently
said, Fitzgerald is different,
very, very different. And it is,
isn't it."
Early in July it was nv pleas
ure to visit Fitzgerald for the
first time. I was here just six
hours, but the impression I then
gained was so vital that I de-
termined to come back if | could
prevail upon the gods to so d.
rect. And they have.
At that time l attempted to
give in one of the state papers
my impression of Fitzgerald as
gathered in half a dozen hours.
1t is evident to me now, after
two days survey, that but poor
ly reviewed the subjects of my
skit Fitzgerald and Ben Hill,
the wonderful resources of each
and the brilliant opportunities
each offers.
In the course of that article |
frequently referred to Fitzgerald
as a different city, different from
any city I had ever known or
heard of. And last night at the
library I received further evil
dence of this tremendous differ
ence. Prof. Richie must have
keenly felt the poignancy of
the regret that fills the hearts of
the fathers and mothers of Fitz-
gerald at his leaving, and, by the
same token, DR.. Ford assuredly
greatly appreciated the honesty
and spontaniety of the welcome
accorded the newcomer. DR..
Ford, in the course of his felicit-
GUS little talk, took some of my
own thunder when he said, in
effect, that the difference of
Fitzgerald was even reflected in
the very atmosphere. And there
is no sort of doubt about it.
There is one thing l am quite
prepared to accept now, and that
is the man or woman who fails
to acquire in Fitzgerald life's
most desirable assets, happiness
and prosperity, will find that the
fault rests with them and not
Fitzgerald and its people.

Enter the Camel.

The sad, ill-tempered camel, who
has borne so long the burdens of the
desert. is forced once more to make
his appearance on the field of honor
AS he has been appearing there for
countless centuries, without doubt
he is used to it, but this does not pre-
vent his remaining unpleasant. "The
camel" says an Oriental proverb,
curses it's parents when it has to
go uphill, and it's maker when it goes
down." This is hardly to be won
dered at, for it is a. well-established
fact that even young camels never
play. They are born sad, and there
after their life is one long protest
against being made to work, though
work has always been their portion.
How largely they have been domesti-
Gated from the earliest times, we
know from the statement that Job
possessed six thousand camels.

PROBLEM FOR THE PARENT
Just When and How to DispeI the Ill.,
sions of Childhood Calls for
Serious Consideration.

The illusions which youth entertains
about the things of the world are at
once the most appalling and the most
delicate things with which older per
sons have to do, says the Indianapolis
News. There is no lodging the fact
that the illusions must go. The con-
scientious mother who has taught her
son that to lie is to sin knows quite
well that when he grows older he will
learn that lies are of two kinds, white
and black, and that the time will come
when he will have to tell white lies,
and, because they are SO like the black
lies against which his mother admon-
ished, he will find it hard. And the fa-
ther who looks upon his daughters
innocence with pride will shudder
little at the thought that time will
bring to her some cold examples of the
duplicity of mankind. If he is fearful
1t is not without reason, for on the
parent devolves the duty of guiding
the disillusioning process. AS this is
done well or ill, so will the child's
view of life be Influenced.
II, for instance, child reared in a
home where kindness is master is sud-
denly confronted with the spectacle of
two drunken men brawling in the
street the child's illusions are treated
to an assault altogether beyond it's
power to combat. In the course of
events 1t would naturally learn that
men get drunk and fight, but that is a
revelation which should come to a
mind whose rules of conduct are pretty
we'll established. In this case the
parent may we'll be moved to anguish.
To unfold the world to a child is a
matter for meditation and ingenuity,
and the parent who leaves it to chance
is no less guilty of maltreatment than
the parent who wantonly exposes a
child to a contagious disease, for the
mind of a child is a delicate instru-
ment OF SURPRISING sensitiveness.
