PLAN FOR MARKETING COTTON
CROP AND HOLDING BACK PART

Atlanta, Ia, August l-NSpSclall
Prompt action has been taken by the
Georgia State Bureau of Markets in
organizing the various counties of the
state for the gradual marketing of
the cotton crop under the plan sug-
gested by the Cotton States Official
Advisory Marketing Board in its re-
cent New Orleans meeting.
An active man has been secured in
each County of the State as Chair
man for that County and the Bureau
is now ready to take the matter up
with each County Chairman for the
purpose of bringing about local or
ganization and securing pledges.
The County Chairmen will be re-
quested next week to select three &C
/ tive farmers in each district or town.
ship of the County, whose duty it will
be to canvass his district and secure
the signatures of all possible farmers
to the following pledge:
81 do hereby pledge that / will not
offer for market more than 20 per
cent of my 1918 cotton crop in any
one month and to hold over for
twelve months, or until such time as
shipping facilities are ample to move
the surplus freely, one bale out of
every three.
IN. B. The signing of this card
carries no legal obligation and only
expresses the desire of the signer to
market his cotton gradually"
The work of securing these pledges
will be begun within the next week or
ten days, so that before the end of
August it is believed and hoped that
practically every district in the State
will be signed up
This plan, it is confidently believed,
will lead to far more gradual sale
of cotton than has ever been known
before at the opening of the season,
and will serve better to protect the
crop against any attempts at price
depression.
President ] J. Brown, of the Cotton
States Advisory Marketing Board,
states that the Board has now won
its point in the matter of preventing
Government action in fixing the price
of cotton.
The Committee sent to Washing
ton by the New Orleans meeting to
handle this matter, has succeeded IN
it's work and it is announced by Presl-
dent Simpson of Oklahoma, mho is
member of the Cotton States Off
cial Advisory Marketing Board, also
a member of the Washington Com
mittee, that there will be no price
fixing of raw cotton, either leglsla-
tive or executive.
81 am very much gratified over the
successful efforts of our committee"
said President Brown, and feel that
cotton growers all over the South will
rejoice in the splendid work it has
done.
81 am informed that in addition to
preventing any action looking to
price fixing, the United States Ship
ping Boadr has agreed to furnish the
bottoms for the expectation of one
or two million more bales of the 1918
crop than of the 1917 crop. Further,
it is stated, that the War Industries
Board will consume two million more
bales or the low grade 1918 crop
than of the crop of last year. This
will take care of three to four million
bales in excess of those consumed
from the 1917 crop. There is every
indication, therefore, thatwe are or
better basis than heretofore, and
the cotton growers of the South have
every reason to congratulate them
selves over the outcome.

OUR FRlENDs-AND OUR ENEMY.

OUR FRIENDS-AND OUR ENEMY.
Teutonic propaganda in its constant
effort to embroil us with our allies III
the Far East and with our neighbors
to north and south, has failed TO
achieve its aim. Even Prussian in
trigue could not hide forever the truth
that our enemy was not Britain, not
Japan, but Germany herself
IL was the Prussian spirit of AFRO
gance, embodied in a pig-headed Ger
man King who spoke English only
6roIenly, against which we fought for
freedom in 1916. Pitt and Fox and all
the leaders of liberal England were
opposed to the senseless war. Their
opposition carried such weight that
the King had to hire Germans to fight
tine Americans because enough British
could not be got to enlist
For hundred years the long 4,000,-
mile border has stretched between us
and Canada, undefended by a gun, a
tort, ship of war. If Canada had
oeen a colony of the Kaiser would we
have slept so peacefully with no
thought of danger? Or would the bor-
der have bristled with cannon? Would
we not, against our will have been
forced to become a militaristic ma
ton?
Our Navy knew long before the Eu-
ropean war broke out that the British
Heet was defense toNus, the German
one a menace. If the Germans had
possessed the greatest navy on earth
is it snpposable that the commerce Of
the open ports would have continued,
the policy of fair field to all? In
such case would the Prussian power
have lined up side by side with ours
to maintain the Monroe Docerine, or
would it have been the greatest dan
ger to that policy? The German Navy
ever since it became ponderabIe
power, has been a threat to the United
States. 1t has been arrogant and bull
lying TO us. The incidents at Samoa,
at Haiti, at Venezuela, and at Manila
Bay are guideposts to warn us agains+
the sea domination of the Teuton.
During a long record of dealings
with Japan and China the United
States has shown no disposition what
ever TO despoil these countries or rob
chem of their rights. On the other
hand, Germany has been the most
ruthless menace to the "open door in
China, the one country most eager for
partition of China by means Of
spheres of influence
When we look at the map of North
America and read the story it tells us,
we know how absurd it is for us to be
duped by German propaganda about
the designs of England upon us. When
we look at the present map of Europe
we know how foolish it would be to
neglect the lesson it teaches. At last
we have found out who are our friends
and who is our enemy.

AMERICA FIRST.

The Turnverein Club, of Joplin,
Mo-, has voted to disband forever and
TO give its property, valued at $4,000,
to the American Red Cross Society.
The words with which this organi3a-
sion has put itself on record ringing
with patriotism. They ought to be
framed in the home of every foreign
born citizen:
I'VE must realize the vastness of
the change of conditions. 1t is
a unique situation, but it is a surpris-
ing clear and plain situation. We
left one country. Why? Because we
were not satisfied with our condi-
tons. We entered another country
with the, full knowledge (unless we
were lunatics) that we had to abide
by the rules and conditions imposed
by this new country. The new coun-
try was very lenient with us. We
hardly knew that we were being gov
darned To us this war comes like
bolt of lightning out of a clear sky.
We are awakened from dream, awak-
ened from a dream, awakened to tue
realization that when we changed
countries it was also our duty to
change our sentiments and sympa-
thies. The object of the Verein is 10
advance German customs, German
habits. and the German language. This
is, under the conditions which have
arisen. intolerable and impossible. Our
.<.<e41y,t rvrnpn oan not and will NOT and
should not be expected to countenanee
