BIG CORPORATION
is FORMED TO
FINANCE COTTON

ATLANTA, August 11.-An ac-
cepted corporation, capitalized at $2,-
100000 formed in the South for the
benefit of the Southern farmers in
marketing or holding their cotton,
is now in process of formation in
Atlanta, under the patronage of the
Federal Reserve Bank, and with the
endorsement of the newly formed
American Cotton Association
The capital of the new concern will
be drawn from bankers, merchants
and farmers. A committee is now
being organized to forward the move
ment, and complete plans are looked
for during the present week.
If such an acceptance corporation
becomes reality it will be of the
greatest aid in financing the cotton
crop. 1t will relieve the banks of
much of the strain put upon them
in the midst of the cotton marketing
season, and will provide for large ad-
ditions of credit in the South which
will be provided by Southern men
and Southern money.
In this way, the pressure on dis
tressed cotton in the fall would be
relieved, and the small farmer would
be allowed to get money on his cot
ton and hold it the same time for
a more favorable market, while the
fall slump in cotton prices would al
so be done away with which has al
ways resulted from the dumping of
distress cotton on the market as soon
as the crop was gathered.
With this and the effective or
ganization of cotton growers into an
association of their own, the Ameri-
can Cotton Association the destiny
of cotton will in the near future
shift from New York to the place
where it is grown, and the money
spent for cotton will go into the pock-
cts of the growers rather than to the
spectators.

LENNOX, Mass, Aug. 1f.-(By

gle died 1t his summer home "Sha-
dow Brook" here at Z o'clock this
morning from bronchial pneumonia.
His death was so sudden that his

Andrew Carnegie, who was one of
the early steel kings, amassing tre-
mendous fortune in the steel indus
try, was a native of Scotland, and a
most unique character. His benefac-
tions were widespread, and today
thousands of American cities enjoy
splendid free public libraries due to
his munificence. He was liberal in
his gifts to the little town where he
was born in Scotland, and was re-
garded as one of the greatest public
benefactors America has yet produc-
ed Although he had frequently ex-
pressed the wish that he might ''lie
poor" his fortune at his death to-
tailed many millions.

Meeting at First Baptist
Church Last Night
Well Attended
BIG GATHERING
AT MACON SOON
Smith Interest
ing and Entertaining
Speaker

Americus Baptist, members of
First Baptist and Central Baptist
church, along with anumber of citi-
zens, members of other denomina-
tions heard the Rev. Jack Smith at
First Baptist church last night fire
the opening gun of the $75, 100000
campaign, soon to be waged among
Sumter Baptists' to raise the sum for
missionary purposes. The service
last night was wholly information
and inspirational and was in charge
of Rev. Carl w. Minoor, though DR..
Smith and DIR. Lansing Burrows
were the principal speakers. A
splendid musical program was great
ly enjoyed by the large number who
attended, despite the inclement
weather.
The Baptist of Georgia, and the
friends of the denomination through
out the state, will be delighted to
know that the organization for the
big rs million campaign is rapidly
materializing, and that by the time
this paper is in the hand of the sub
scribers, the entire state will have
been covered by the district crganiz-
ers with the result that there will be
and assoc1ational organizer, associa-
tional publicity director and associ-
ational w NJ U. director.
The state has been divided into
twelve districts with well known
Baptist leader over each district. Am
ericus is in District l, and the work
here will be directed by Rev. A. j
Smith, whose headquarters win be in
Macon.
The next outstanding stage of the
big campaign will be a meeting at
Mercer University in Macon on Aug
ust 13 and IA, when the associational
workers will meet with the state Of
fcals and the district organizers for
a two-day conference.
At this conference DR.. L. r.
Scarborough, director general for the
South, will deliver an address and
will discuss with Georgia workers the
big aspects Of the campaign. 1t is
expected that there will be two hun
dred and fifty leading men and wom-
en- at this Mercer meeting.
After that meeting the association
al workers will go back and set up
the campaign in each association of
the state. This will amount in real
ity to the county unity of the war
drives.

AMERICUS FANS TO
VISIT LESLIE TUESDAY

Tomorrow afternoon at 4:3O
O'Clock will be called the first
game of baseball between Americas
and Albany that has been played in
a good, long time. And Americus
folks will go there in crowds to at
tend the event Jupiter Pluvius is
due to be kind and permit the event
to come off in grand style. All you
fans be not afraid, if a little rain
should fail in the forenoon, for the
Leslie diamond is one that will drink
water, and the game can easily be
PLAYED an hour after a heavy DOWN
pour.
1t is hoped that the servicess of
Jno Wagnon can be procured to ham
die the umpire's indicator. This as
sures the game to be fast and crap
py contest, with little, if any guar
reling, because we all can remember
just how much Jawn expected of the
umpire and We will expect just as
much from him.
The latest addition to the Ameri-
Gus nine is Little Near' Ray, who
will hold down the position of mascot.
He will appear tomorrow afternoon
in comic costume and will have en-
tire charge of the stick work when
thev are not in active use. Little
Boy has not had much experience
along this line, but he shows signs Of
a marked success. He will attend
practice this afternoon in order to
learn which of the two sticks to give
each batter as he approaches the
plate, with the avowed purpose OF
swatting the old pill
The team has had two practices
and the third will take place this
afternoon at o'clock. Pantone,
who is with the Richland club at pres
ent. will return to Americus Tuesday
to pitch the game. Pantone is in
fine shape, as he has been pitching
for the fast Eastman club, which
recently has disbanded. Barney Ball
will also be on hand and will pitch
Thursdays game in Albany.
Albany beat Leslie two games last
week and Americus realizes that a
hard fight is ahead of them. They
will look like ball club at least, and
if vouSwant to see more pepper than
has ever been displayed around these
parts, drive down to Leslie. The
crowd will leave here about $3.50

roqentatives from the Federal Board
of Vocational Education have been
sent to each of the district Offices
to explain new regulations in the adj

those suffering with tuberculosis. The
Federal Board is given the entire
responsibility of determining the

tirely the responsibility of the Fed
eral Board during his period of train
ing. The scale of payments made to
men in training range from $50
month, for the man with no depend
ents, to $3.50 for the married man
with six or more children.
A schedule of graduated payments
is also made for the widower with
children and for the man with de-
pendent father and mother.

Quarters of Century
At Present Home
CAME TO SUMTER
WITH FIRST WHITES
Three Generations At
tended Celebration
Near Plains

Surrounded by his children, grand
children and great-grandchildren, Mr..
], w. F. Murray Saturday celebrated
his eighty-sixth birthday, at his. plan
tation home down below Plains in
Sumter county.
Since he was eighteen months old
Mr.. Murray'has resided there. All of
his eight children were born there:
it was from the same. old home that
he told his mother, father and wife
goodbye, back in 1861, when he of
fered his life to the great cause of
the civil war.
'The night before father left for
the 'front.'" one Of the children said,
"my grandfather carried father out
over there to the grave yard. They
sat under that same old tree you can
see from here. Grandfather said for
him to go and do his full duty as a
man and Southerner."
The old log smokehouse was visit
ed. where for generations now the
home-raised and cured meats have
hung in an abundance. always
there is years supply of meat ir
there and as far back as / can renlem-
Der there has been plenty there, .
said one of the children.
A rose bush that has stood in one
place for more than so years was
pointed out. One land mark after
another was visited.
During the afternoon stories OF
bygone days were told and old and
very dear remembrances again came
INTO being. when my grandfather
came here" Mr. Nathan Murray said
this was a wilderness. Often NV
father has told us of the deer, wild
turkey, bears and panthers that were
to be seen from the house. Gar1e
was plentiful"
Among those gathered about the
table were Mrs. Willie Goodwin. Mrs.
Llzzy Anderson, Mr.. and Mrs /. l..
Balkcom, Mr.. and MRS. W. T. Mac
key, Mr.. and Mrs D. P. Murray, Mr..
and Mrs. A. C. Murray and Mr..
Nathan Murray, the children of Mr..
J. W. F. Murray; there were abou.
thirty grandchildren and five or six
great-grandchildren, besides fifteen
or twenty friends
The long table was piled high with
fried chicken, barbecued pork, pies,
cakes, jellies, preserves and every
other good thing that this country of
abundance affords.
The Rev. R. H. Jennings, of Daw-
son, offered a most appropriate
prayer, asking Gods continued bless.
.ings on the happy gathering of kins.
folk and friends.
Eighty-six years have passed light.
ly over the head of Mr. Murray. He
is hale and hearty, and as one of his
guests expressed it-"I'm not mar
ried yet; haven't even found the girl
but you'll live to see me come here
each 9th of August, bringing the old
lady and five or six boys"
And he expressed the wish that was
IN the hearts of every ona present.
These birthday celebrations out ON
the Murray plantation are a. yearly
ahalr, and each 9th of August the
children, grandchildren and the great.
grandchildren and friends of Mr. !

Americas machinists, boiler-mak-
er5, car repairers, yardmen and other
mechanics who had been on strike
during just a week, returned this
morning to their tasks at the Sea-
board Air Line shops here.
The action of the men followed a
meeting of union men Sunday after
noon, when, according to the best in
formation obtainable today, a res
olution was adopted providing that
they would return to work upon a
plan similar in some respects to that
adopted by the striking shopmen at
Macon.
At the Seaboard shops today it was
stated that the men had returned
and that activity here was again in
evidence, but officials of the company
issued no statement touching the sit
uation. The embargo on freight, ex-
cept on foodstuuffs suitable for hu-
man consumption, had not been call
ed off early this afternoon, though it
was anticipated this would come at
any time.
Efforts made to communicate with
A. M. Thayer, financial secretary of
the shopmen's union, and also with
V. c. Milton, corresponding secre>
tary of the workmen's organization
here elected the response from the
Thayer home that he had gone to the
shops, but Millions phone remained
unanswered. Other union men, how
ever, confirmed the report that the
men had returned to their tasks, and
citizens generally expressed salts
faction that the men had agreed to
the principle laid down by President
Wilson, believing that the resulting
negotiations will soon result in
complete and agreeable settlement of
the points at issue between the COM
pany and the men.
