With the idea of ascertaining what

volumes in support Of the movement.
The bankers are certainly in a
position to know whether or not pro-

The Record put the following ques-
ton to the bankers: Can you say

From the dry States in the South
came no answers. OF these ga or

been received by the farmers, mostly
those in Lowndes County, for their
cotton. And they have not hesitated
to use it to good advantage. Most of
them went first to the banks to de-
post their money, so that they could
check out as they needed It. One Of
the banks here took in on deposit one
day this week s26s.000. 1t requires
six banks to handle the money that
comes into valdosta. and they all do
good business. The combined deposits
of all these banks runs pretty close to

Is, 600 people ranks ffth in the State
in banking resources, only Atlanta,
Savannah. Macon and Augusta being
ahead of it
AS soon as the farmers deposited
their money they began to think OF
something to eat Many of them had
long been living on short rations. and
they decided to lay in supply Of
good things for the inner man All
of them had from ten to twenty-five
cotton pickers and other hands, for
whom they had been buying rations
on credit. They paid their bills and
then bought new supplies for cash.
This started a boom in the grocery
trade. and then many began to pay up
their guano bills, and that branch OF
business struck a double quick trot-

that's a mistake. Within the last
week l had several negroes come in
and pay up IN full bills they owed
for guano bought in 1910. They didn't

formerly spent much of it for whs-
key"
You are right" added a drys goods
merchant, Il sold an old negro 5000

able 10 pay cent on the bill, and
when We balanced our books at the
close of last year. considering the
bill worthless. we charged 1t OFF on the
profit and loss account. The old man
has been buying little ever since,
for which he has always paid cash.
This week he bought bill for cash,
and then counted out $50 more to put
on the old dead account. 1t was like
picking it up in the road"
The negroes will not soon forget the
fall of 1916. They are having as good
a time as II 1t was Christmas. Every

SEVEN SUGGESTIONS For
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT

% Post on some sort of school
bulletin board the average grades
of your students each week.
ca Arrange to have your local
newspaper print each month the
names OF those making a grade of
90 or over.
(3) Post a list of students who
have not been tardy or missed a
day for week: for month; two
months: three months, and so on
through the whole school year.
Also have your local newspaper
print these lists monthly.
t4) Have tripping in your
spelling classes. organize debat-
ing society also, and arrange for
a series Of spelling matches and
debates with neighboring schools,
getting the parents to attend.
(5) Give your cards each month
to students who have been on time
each morning. who have not miss
ed a day, who have given good de-
pertinent, and who have made
above certain standard average
grade. For example: This is to
certify that James Brown has not
been absent or tardy during the
month OF October. that he has
given good department, and has
made an average grade of 90"
(s) Devote each Friday after
noon to recitations, songs, debates.
exhibits, etc. giving nominal prizes
to the boys and girls who do best.
Invite the patrons OF the school
to attend these exercises once each
month and try to develop their
interest.
60 See the local merchants
near your school and get them to
give prizes. They will be glad to
do SO in most cases.-The Progress

1.-THE great prosperity that high
priced cotton has brought to Georgia
farmers is Interestingly told in letter
herewith from Valdosta. AT the time
the letter was written Sea Island cot
ton had sold at "a IA cents pound.
or sl7l.25 a bale for lint alone, and
these prices had brought to the en-
tire community a wave OF prosperity
greater than ever before known, Since
that time the price has advanced still
further. 40 is cents, or over 5000 a
bale. having the highest price reached.
and still higher prices are expected
by some.
In the story related significant
point is made of the thrift of the peo-
pie under prohibition. Money that
negroes and others heretofore squand-
cred for whiskey is now being applied
to paying off old debts and TO provide
the comforts and even the luxuries
OF living.
The writer. Rev. Alex. w Realer
is pastor of the Baptist Tabernacle OF
Naldosta, Ga. He writes that whiskey
is doing so much harm among the
laborers that the people. before pro-
hibition came to Georgia generally.
voted the whiskey traffic out of the
town and county. The story shows
the good use under prohibition to
which people are now putting the
fruits of prosperity.-Editor Man
ufacturers Record.1
Valdosta, down among the wiregrass
and pines of Lowndes County. one OF
the first towns in Georgia to outlaw the
whiskey traffic. is on the crest of a
tidal wave of prosperity greater than
1t has ever known. Business in all
lines is booming. and there is more
money in circulation than has been
turned loose before in the last twenty
years Indeed several OF the popular
stores have kept the office force so
busy receiving and receipting for
money that it reminds one Of the last
day for paying taxes to the official
appointed to handle the money.
This great flood of prosperity Is all
due to the sea island or long staple
cotton. This is the biggest market in
the world for the staple. and the
good Lord has sent such favorable
season upon us that it has opened
rapidly. and as fast as 1t opened black
fingers were waiting to pick 1t out and
gins were running to separate the
seed from the lint. Today bale of
sea island cotton Is worth almost as
much as bale of silver certificates.
