ing States Now

Safe and sane cotton is the
slogan now sweeping over the
south" The souther cotton farm.
ers and business men are being
called to arms, as it we're, to de-
crease the crop in the future. 1t
is being pointed out by leaders
that large crop in 1919 will mean
that the people of the south will
have to 90 back to the old econ
omic slavery of the past.
Cotton raisers claim that the
crop cannot be produced pro6tably
at 30 cents per pound. Conserva-
tive authorities have shown that
the 1918 crop cost even more than
this.
AS result farmers, merchants
and bankers are getting together
and organizing a safe and sane"
cotton production in the south.
February Is has been proclaimed
as a cotton holiday 10 the cotton
growing states by governors. Meet
ings will be held to take steps to-
ward cutting down the crop this
year and increasing the food crops
throughout the south. These meet
ings will be held at the county
seats in each state.
A publicity campaign is now be-
ing conducted to have cotton rails
ers hold back their last years crop
until a fair price can be secured
and to cut the crop for this year
by one-third.
1t is now predicted that the
south will not raise any more large
crops of cotton to be sacrificed at
ruinous prices which the results of
the 1918 crop show.

After reading of so many people
in our town who have been cured

statement of this Camden resident
leaves no room for doubt on this
point.

SPECTATORS TRY
TO GRAB LIBERTY
BONDS AT BARGAIN
People Urged Not to Sell Government
Securities at Sacrifice or Exchange
Them For Questionable Paper.

Atlanta Reports are reaching the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta that
many owners of Liberty Bonds are
selling them at prices lower than
their market value.
Investigations show that shrewd
spectators are active in trying to
induce people to part with their Gov
eminent securities. Many of them
are offering to take Liberty BONDS in
exchange for some other so-called
security which promises a higher
rate of interest than Liberty Bonds.
1t is pointed out by Treasury Of
ficials that Liberty Bonds are worth
every dollar paid for them. one evi-
dence of their value is the eagerness
of the Spectator to get possession Of
them. He knows what they are worth.
Their Liberty Bond owner does not
know the value Of the stock" or
''bond" he is offered in exchange for
his Government security.
Liberty Bonds have back of them
the entire resources OF the United
States which makes them worth their
face value. The person whv exchang-
es them for some other kind of paper
risks losing the money invested in
his bond as we'll as the interest.
Other people are selling their bonds
because they feel that the wars
over" and they are no longer oblig-
ated to hold them. Although fighting
has ceased, the war will not be over
until the peace treaty is signed and
our soldiers are home. A Liberty Bond
il certificate of service and the per
son who sells them at a sacrifice is
deserving the cause. He is rejecting
on his own judgment and patriotism
and surrendering an investment that
never will fail to pay returns.
1t is recognized that there are times
when investors are compelled to seek
relief from financial distress. Often
their first impulse Is to dispose Of their
Liberty Bonds.
In such cases the bank is the place
to go. Banks will lend money on LIB
erty Bonds. The borrower is helped
out Of his difficulty and does net lose
possession of his Government bond

referring to the gas question.
Continuing he said u noted with
pleasure this morning that, while the
mercury had not fallen as low as the

were working overtime, and burning
just as merrily and baking biscuits as
brown and looking just as cheerful
as when the mercury was behaving

"Of course our thermometers did
not get anywhere near the danger

they did two weeks ago, when the gas

mercury by a good neck in the race for
freezing, but l am willing to give
credit where it is due and am glad
to state that if the Consumers Light

present speed, the kicks will be reduced
to the minimum, especially if its Off
