dashed into dry goods store here.

asked change for one hundred dol

The cashier handed him fifty dol
lar bill and began counting out some
change in ones, twos and hves. Dur
ing this performance the young man
talked profusely. Slipping the fifty
dollar bill in his pocket he asked the
girl for another fifty dollar bill for
the fifty dollars in change. She
handed it to him before he returned
the change.
Still disserting glibly he suddenly
said, "Oh, never mind the change,
give me my one hundred dollar bill
back and rendered the second fifty
dollar bill and the fifty dollars in
change, keeping the first bill in his

The girl smiled and the man was
gone. When the cash was counted at
night fifty dollars was shot. But a

NOT TO FIX PRICE
ON THIS YEAR CROP
NO ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE
BY GOVERNMENT TO FIN
COTTON PRICES FOR THIS
YEARS CROP.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. l5.-President J..
!. Brown. OF the Cotton States Off
cial Advisory Marketing Board, has
received definite Geographic advices
from Washington. through f. A. Cal
win, the boards representative there,
that there will be no attempt made
by the government to FIX cotton prices
for this years crop.
The same advices state. however,
that the present plan is to have a
committee appointed from the war in
dustries board, to investigate the
whole cotton situation with a view to
fixing prices for the crop of 1920
The position of the marketing
board" said President Brown, "is
equally opposed to the latter step as
to the former. We do not want cot.
ton prices fixed now or in the future,
because we believe the cotton pro-
Queer should be left alone with his
product responding solely to the law
of supply and demand
ITO prevent any action being TAX
en- in this direction, it is vitality inn
portant that cotton producers and
merchants and business men over the
state and the South, should write or
wire their congressman and senator's,
"upplying them with any information
they may have, in order to enable
them to keep up the fight for free
and open market for cotton.
1T is now apparent that the pres
ent crop will be around only l1,000,-
600 bales We are in possession of
data showing that this crop has cost
the producer an average of more than
80 cents a pound to grow and market
it.
At the New Orleans meeting of the
marketing board recently, we passed
unanimous resolutions Urging the pro-
Queer to market his cotton gradually,
not offering more than 20 per cent
of it in any one month. We reiterate
that advice now. as the best possible
course the producer can pursue, for
we do not hesitate to say that upon
basis of comparison of values of raw
cotton and the manufactured goods,
cotton is today worth 40 cents a
pound, and would be cheap at that
price"

MY GARDEN WITH WALL

My heart garden is, garden walled;
And in the wide white spaces near the
gates
Grow tall and snowy flowers, sun-lov-
ing flowers,
Where they are seen of every passer-
by;
Who straightway faring on doth bear
the tale
How bright my garden is and filled
with sun.
But there are shaded walks far, from
the gates, -
SO far the passer-by can never see,
Where violets grow for thoughts o.
those afar,
And rue for memories of vanished day
And sweet for-get-me-nots to bid me
think,
With tendernes-lest I grow utter
cold ;. =;
And hard as women grow who bAves
weep.
And then some times | fear that Love
is dead
And sorrows rules as king the worlds
white way
| go with friends love among these
beds.
Where friends and flowers do speak
alike to me,
Sometimes with silences, sometimes
with words
lis then thank my God for those
high walls
That shut the friends within, the world
without,
That passers-by may only see the sun
That friends | love may share the
quiet shade.
