this opportunity to learn a trade or vo- cation that will enable them to earn their own living and make themselves independent.
 As an indication of what this board is expected to do. farm work may be cited. The board has created what it terms a brand new profession, that of farm mechanic, and it figures that any farm of more than 100 acres can very well afford to have man of this sort. The men being qualified for this work are disabled soldiers who before injury were farm boys. With this background of agricultural knowledge these men are being taught to operate modern tractors which do the work of many teams and men. They are being taught operation, care and up- keep of motor trucks and other gas en- zines. They are being given geu- eral course in looking after machinery used on modern farms. Farm hands who before the war could not hope to make more than s25 or s30 month az laborers can, by becoming proficient as farm mechanics qualify for posi- tions paying from s100 to SIPS month with steady employment the year round, the board states.
 In other lines of industry the train ing is suited to the requirements of the particular line the soldier wishes to take up.

 Assailant Killed ~

W. D. Evans, one of the most active members of the Birming- ham police force, is dead; Of ficer A. w. Phillips, who worked with Evans, is in a critical condition, and Albert Brown, negro soldier, is dead as the result of a shooting af- fray that occurred between the officers and two negroes at Thirty-third street and Fifth avenue, north, at 8:10 o'clock last night.
 The shooting occurred about block north of where the Tidewater car line crosses the Louisville and Nashville railroad, on Fifth avenue, and Officer Evans, who was still alive when found, was lying about 10 feet from the ne- gro, who was dead. Both of the men were lying between the railroad tracks.
 Officer Phillips shot through the breast with .3S calibre pistol, strug- gled to a telephone at a store approxi- mately three blocks away, and tele- phoned to headquarters what had hap pened He was in such a weakened condition that he was unable to give the location of the shooting, which was given by people in the store after Off, ficer Phillips had sank mortally wounded to the floor.
 WERE CARRYING GRIP
 The shooting began when Officer Evans was searching the negroes who had emerged from a house alongside the railroad They were carving a small grip, and the officers stopped them. in quired as to their business in that To- cality and told them that they would have to search them. While Officer Evans was searching one of the ne- groes, who was dressed in civilian clothes, Brown drew a pistol and fired upon Officer Evans, who fell fatally wounded, and then turning fired a shot at Officer Phillips, which took effect in his breast. Although the officers were mortally wounded they both emptied their guns at the negroes, several shots of which took effect in the body and head of Brown. The oth- CT negro made his escape and it is not known whether he is wounded or not

COTTON GROWERS OF THE south
WILL Be STRONGLY Y ORGANIZED

Atlanta Ga. August 13.-The Amer
ican Cotton Association, which is to
stand back Of the producers of the
South upon the basis of "a reasona-
bic profit above the cost of produc'
ton" has inaugurated rapid and
determined membership campaign to
cover the entire cotton belt.
In few days organizers will be
in the field. and every county in
Georgia Will have it's own organiza
ton. Heading the Georgia Division
are Judge Fl. A. Boykin. of Sylvia
MIA. President. and J. A. Davis, bank
tary Treasurer. Both of these expect
to take the field.
Assistr- them in the work in Geor-
gia will be the Central Campaign
Committee. composed of c. H. Kit
trelI. of Dublin; 4. S. johnson. of
jefferson: E. c. Teasley, of Toccoa: ::
}. w. Williams. of Sylvania, and Min
ter Wimrerly, Of Macon, in addition
to the officers who are ex-officio mem
bers.
To Organize Every County
Wei! known citizens in every coun,
ty in Georgia will assist in the work
ef forming the county organizations
4 similar work will be done in each
of the twelve Cotton States until there
is formed for the first time in the
history of the South, an organization
which will not only speak with au
thority for the producer. but stand
ready to assist him in the marketing
OF his product at a price that will
yield him a living wage.
With regard to the necessity for the
American Cotton Association and the
service it is to render. President Boy
kin has Just made this statement:
an 1914, when war was declared
cotton was selling at Is cents a pound
Fluctuations followed, and within ten
DAYS it had slumped to as low as six
cents. The result was a loss to this
producer of $4S5.000,000. The bust
ness of the entire South was stagnated
and bankruptcy and ruin confronted
business in this section.
"ln 1917 the Cotton States Advis
or Marketing Board was organized at
Nnw Orleans. Cotton was then selling
at II ana 18c. An Investigating disclos
"a that, by comparison, and or basis
nt cost Of production, cotton should
he bringing around 30 cents, and the
producers we're so advised. Th ose who
Eeedpd the advice got SO to 33 cents
tin the beginning Of the season OF
1918. cotton was bringing around its
market values aud middling rose on
the New York exchange to as high
as wa per pound. At this time, the
President appointed the price fixing
board whici. attempted to fix the price
Of cott0n. but it was found the Pres
ideiu had no authority in this direc
ton. nor could his commission do thii
without legislation.
The Brunswick news., 1919-08-23
Selling BeIoW Cost

Following this attempt to fix til
price. an investigation as 20 the COS
OF producing cotton showed that til
price of 1liddling cotton with a re-
sonable profit to the producer. shout
be 35 to 81 cents a pound.
when these facts were disclosed b
the investigation, the price fixin
board announced that they were hand
off, and that cotton would be left I
the law of supply and demand. In th
face OF this statement. the war indu
tries board was resolved into a pui
chasing agency for the benefit of til
Allied Nations. AS the Allies were til
only ones outside of the America,
spinners who could purchase cotton
competition was Immediately de
stroyed
THE promise that cotton would no
be interfered with was further cloud
ed by the licensing for export as wei
as the statement that if cotton ros,
to an unreasonable price. legislatio.
would be asked to put it under th,
control OF the food administration.
These conditions. together wit
subsequent embargoes, destroyed tn,
cotton market. Speculation was elm
mated by reason of the uncertaint,
OF the attitude OF the governmen.
Spinners and manufacturers woul.
only buy their running supplies. Hence
the market became congested and raj
idly declined to a price far below th
cost of production.
Holding Movement HeIped
about this time there was inaue
urated the great holding movement b,
the Southern States. This was prac
tical and necessary for the reason tha
the banking and financial interest n
the South had underwritten or loane,
millions on 35 and 81 cents cotton
and to have sold at the market q,
18 to 20 cents. would have mean
bankruptcy to many Of the best farm
ers of the South.
"The farmers, backed by great fl
nancial and business interests of IN,
South, were in position to hold tbei
cotton, and the result is that in los
than six months cotton has dr;fto
1
back to its former level of 35 and .
cents.
THE unsettled conditions of co,,
merce as well as peace still leave n
/ cotton industry threatened by dis.,
ter This can only be ayerted h
perfecting an organization to assist n
producer and others in keeping II :,
tho market ThOrouph ara e..
organization must be had in orde, th.
financial institutions may be IN
position to lend the needed assistanc.
In no other way can it be done
"The American Cotton Associatio
is the only answer. We of the Sou,,
must not only organize 1t, but see IN;
it grows and lives for the future Sc
ice it will render every man, "
