ROYSTER HOLDS BUSINESS
HE FORMED ,33 YEARS AGO

We are carrying in another column
the advertising of the F. S. Register
Guano Company and our readers will
be interested to know that in 1886 Mr..
F. S. Register started this business and
still retains the ownership and con-
troll of it, although it has grown to
such proportions that it take thirteen
large factories to supply the present
demand for the Register brands. 1t is
rare that such business is built up
by individual effort and the results
speak well for the ability and integ-
rity of the manufacturer and for the
unvarying merit of the goods.
The record of the past is the best
guarantee of future results and the
success of the Register goods has al
ways been built upon the success OF
its users.

The Public Mind

Editor Times Recorder: In the
ONES of the readers of this newspaper
there are many musical instruments,
such as mandOlins, ukeleles, violins,
accordeons, etc, which are not being
used nor particularly cared for, yet
which would be immensely valuable to
the men in uniform aboard a ship or
in a camp Victrolas, too, could be
sent out to a number of places where
they would enliven theG last few
months of the temporary soldiers and
be kept for permanent use by the
regulars.
If any person wishes to make such
a use of any musical instrument, we
shall be glad to have it sent TO us at
Savannah, and we shall send it 70

Fort Screven, or TO any If a number

that touch port here
We hope to receive generous sup

BIG RECOIL DUE
IN COTTON, SAYS
MARKET WRITER
BY Victor Barron.

ATLANTA, Jan. 18.-CottOn exhibit
ed great nervousness and weakness
this week, with the bears hammering
values down with ringing success.
There was nothing in the weeks
developments to account for the raid
on the market. 1t just simply was a
well carried-out attack on the market
by the professionals, which was fol-
lowed by heavy liquidation of long
lines and selling for Southern and
foreign account.
UncOvering of stop orders also in
creased the supply of contracts. De-
mand was more or less light and of a
half hearted character until next fall
delivery contracts crashed through
the 20-cent level at New Orleans and
fell to even 20 cents in New York
October option
Bullish fundamentals were not
changed in the least by the drastic fall
in prices. In fact, the heavy decline
greatly strengthened the technical po-
sition of the market, which combined
with the much brighter export out
look and continued strength of South
ern spot markets, places the market
in an excellent shape for responding
materially to the first streak of strong
demand
All options struck the lowest levels
of the year during the week, with de-
liveries from May on to October
breaking to new lows for the season.
October option in New Orleans We'd
nesday fell to 1949-the first time
since early in 1917 that cotton future
contracts have sold below the 20-cent
level October option in New York
fell to 20 cents Friday, but recoiled
to 20.46 before the close.

days of IA to 204 points. From the
closing prices of January 2, the break
in New York represented a loss of
344 TO 404 points-S17.20 to $20.2G a
bale, while the list at New Orleans
exhibited slump of 235 to 40s points
-$1175 to 5000 a bale.

Unpaid For Cars
Subject To Seizure

ATLANTA, Jan. II. - Automobile
dealers in north Georgia who have
been inserting in their sale contracts
a special provision relieving them of
responsibility for the use of cars to
haul liquor. must now devise some
other methor of protecting themselves,
for Judge w. T. Newman, of the Unit
ed States district court is holding that
unauthorized use of an automobile in
the transport of liquor is not an eX-
cuse on which the seller of the car can
protect himself, these rulings being
in conformity with decision recently
handed down by the United States
circuit court of appeals.
The Georgia law makes it crime to
use an automobile, or any other We
hicIe or vessel, in the transportation
of liquor, and provides that all such
vehicles so used may be seized and
confscated and sold. The automobile
dealers selling cars on divided pay
mems and retaining title to the cars
until the same are paid for, have been
trying to protect themselves by the
special clause in the contract above
mentioned. Several cars to which
they held title have recently been con-
fiscated by federal officers and they
are now attempting to recover the
cars by Court procedure.

NEW YORK.

day; d-Friday.
A better demand for trade houses
was in evidence at the lows than for
some time. There was some French
and Liverpool buying. Domestic spot
firms also were credited with buying
freely and advising mills to enter the
market for their supplies, but the lat
ter baked.
New York attributed much of the
selling to the belief that this seasons
acreage will be an increase and that
with improved fertilizer condition it
will spell a big crop, but it is en-
tirely too early to talk cotton acreage
and it is absurd to hammer next
years cotton future options to and
below 20 cents pound in anticipation
of big acreage and consequently big
yield. Prospects last year at the first
of the season promised a record crop,
but the world knows the ultimate
story-11, 100000 bales, against early
prospects of 15,325,O00 bales of lint.
Even with a crop of say 100000
bales next year off of 100000 acres
weather permitting--it easily could
be disposed of, owing to the world
shortage of the staple.

spinners' takings, strong spots and
prospects for greatly increased ton
mage in the near future and talk of
further cuts in ocean freight rates,
failed to steer the sliding market But
opinion in conservative circles is I'M
animoHs that the bottom has been
touched and that the market is due for
a big recoil.
The writer is about the only one in
this section who Is fighting the bear
attacks on the market and he can not
put too much emphasis in his appeal
to merchants and holders of spot cot
ton to clamp their grip tighter and to
ignore the future markets and abso
lutely refuse to sell at current levels.
He also urges every farmer in the
South to cut the cotton acreage down
to a minimum this season and diver

into planting big acreage by the false
