Twenty Million Bales More Likely
Than Twenty Cents Pound,
Says Hastings.

Atlanta, Ga.-(SpeciaD-That 1917
is a danger year. for the south, and
that there is dynamite in the pres
ent cotton situation fer the cotton

words used by H. G. Hastings, presi-
dent Of the Southeastern Fair Asso-
citation and the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.
Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at
planting time in spring." he says, lis
the bait that will lure hundreds of
thousands Of farmers in the south to
each put in few extra acres, and
should nature smile on the crop as in
1914, We will come nearer a twenty
million bale crop than 20 cents per
pound, for evidence multiplies daily
that they are planting right up to
the graveyard as it is sometimes ex.
pressed.
"On the Hastings farm we don't ex-
pect to put in an acre more of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think 1t time above all others to
play safe. What we will increase to
the limit Of our ability will be food,
grain and forage, beef cattle and |
hogs.

One Cent Postage

One cent drop" letter postage
will probably become reality a:
a result of legislation which it is
expected the present session OF
congress will enact, as a first stel
in the movement for general
rate of one cent for ordinary let
'ers.
An active campaign has been in
progress for the last five years
Hooking towards one cent letter
postage. 1his has eliminated in
a definite agreement on the part
of legislative authorities at Wash
ington to grant a one cent local
rate in all cities and towns where
deliveries are made. This is the
first step, the one which counts.
according to those who are prose
cutting this campaign towards Sc
curing a general rate for the entire
country.
In connection with a one cent
rate for local first class mail de-
hveries it is planned to have a
zone system of rates for second
class matter, which is expected to
increase the charges on all period
icals of nation wide circulation.
The proposition has been put in a

ing for lower rate than now
, charged, The committee has held
a number of sessions and made q
very careful survey of the situa-
ton, and believes that a lower pos
tage bill can be passed by con-
gress. Chairmen of the various
committees and members of the
committees themselves have in
many instances expressed their
hearty approval of the proposed
changes, and it is not expected
that much difficulty will be found
in securing the lower rate.
For over five years the National
One Cent Letter Postage Associa-
ton, which has its headquarters
at Cleveland, O., has been vigor-
ously fighting fer the lower rate.
The association has members in
every city in the union, amount
ing into the thousands, and has
for the past several years been
conducting an active educational
campaign.
There is every prospect, accord
ing to officials of the association, j
that the drop letter proposal will
be passed by the present session OF |!

congress and put into effect very
shortly. This will mean a saving
of many millions of dollars on the
part of letters users of the coun try
who are now required to pay twice
the cost of carriage.
1t has been expressly stipulated
that newspapers having a circuIa-
tlon within a 800 mile radius are
not to be affected by the proposed
change, as it is felt that their edu-
cational influence is too valuable
to have them affected in any way,
particularly as they sell for a very
small price, much less in proper
ton than many of the national
magazines, which are carried sew
eral thousand miles to their des-
tination.
Last year first class mail made
q profit for the government of
over SIS, 100000 per year, while
second class or periodical mail lost
a sum equally as large, thus off
setting the biggest item of profit
which the post office department
shows. 1t is confidently expected
that an increased business created
through the lower rate in cities
and towns will make uD the rev
enue saved to letter users.

AT LEAST TWO ENEMY
PLANES BROUGHT DOWN

London. Dec. 19.-One OF the Ger
man airplaneS which took part in last
nights raid over England was brought
down and another is believed to have
been destroyed, the war office an
nounces. From sixteen to- twenty
raiders, divided into six groups, en-
deavored to reach London, but only
five succeeded in dropping bombs on
the city.
There Is reason to believe another
raider dropped into the English chan
mel. says the report.
A British pilot fired two drums OF
ammunition into a raider as 1t was
dropping bombs on London from a
height OF $4,000 feet.
After the main attacks OF the raid
ers ceased, a single airplane flew over
London at about 9 O'Clock.
The raider known definitely to have
been destroyed was hit by the fire OF
anti aircraft guns and finally dropped
into the sea off Kent. Two OF the
crew of three were captured alive by
an armed trawler.
