MACON MEETING
TO PLAN CUT IN
COTTON ACREAGE

A mass meeting of Georgia farmers
and others interested in the price of
cotton will be held at Macon next
Thursday, February 6. The meeting
has been called by Commissioner of
Agriculture ]. J. Brown, who states
that he has received replies from eV-
cry section of the state, not only ac-
cepting his invitation but stating that
large delegations of farmers and bust
ness men were coming.
The meeting is primarily for the
purpose of perfecting a statewide or
ganization to work for a reduction in
the Georgia cotton acreage in 1919, and
to continue the present holding move
ment. Mr.. Brown believes that the
acreage must be materially reduced if
the 1919 crop is to be sold at price
that will pay the farmer Tor raising it,
and that the cotton now in the ware
houses must be kept off the market I'M
til the present prices have advanced.
This meeting will give everyone in
terested in the matter an opportunity
to present their views, and to form an
organization that will be able to work
together toward a definite end Ev-
cry farmer, bank president and cash
Ter, every newspaper editor, supply
merchant, chamber of commerce secre-
taries and presidents, ETC., have been
invited to attend Several from Amer
icus are planning to be present, among
them C. C. Hawkins, Crawford Wheat
ley and Joseph Perkins.
The subject of cotton prices, both
present and future, is of very great
Importance to every man doing bust
ness in the cotton-growing states. Cot
ton prices can be protected by the CO.
operation of the farmers and business
men of the South, but Mr.. Brown be-
lieves that unless it is possible to get
these farmers and business men or
ganized upon mutually satisfactory
basis, cotton prices will fall to point
that means nothing short of disaster
to the South

Then Bill got an idea and he and Beck
stole home to where Bill's car rested
for his wife won't let him take 1t out
after dark. They opened the garage
door noiselessly, pushed the car out
and down the street for n block ana
then, stepped on the starter. They
rot to Beech Grove before the rest
of the club did.
Bill and his friend Beck drove home
after the club meeting and repeated
tlle performance in getting the car
back in the garage. Then he went into
the house. Presently the crowd came
along and yelled at Bill through the
window. or course, that entailed ex-
plantations on Bills part TO his wife as
to how he got home first. The other
members of the club say Bill has not
vet been able to explain to his wife
how he beat them home.--lndinnapolis
