Ginners Warned to
Stop Operations Until
Cotton Price Improves

TOCCOA, Ga, Oct. Some of the
ginners in the section between Toe
Goa and Hartwell were surprised
one morning recently to find post
ed, in conspicuous place notice
asking the ginners not to gin any
more cotton while the price remained
at it's present low level. The notice
also contained a warning, that If
they continued to gin after due no.
tice had been given, thew would ne
visited again and would be left
the previous warning. 1t is not
known what steps have been taken,
if any, but some of the ginners said
they would continue to gin as long
as people brought the cotton to
them, regardless Of the warning but
a close watch will be kept about
the gins during the night.
The cotton situation is far from
satisfactory to all concerned in Toe.
Goa. In conversation with one of
the buyers Monday, the subject was IS
brought up concerning the small
Quantity Of cotton being offered for
sale on the streets now, and upon
investigation. it developed that on
the same date last year, there was
around a hundred bales sold on the
streets. as compared to only four
Monday. Cotton is later than last
wear because of the lateness of the
spring, but the main reason for so
small quantity being marketed Is
the farmers are not bringing 1T TO
town while it is below thirty cents
There seems to be no disposition on
the part of the farmers to sell at
the present price.

Limestone for Georgia Farms
Can Be Manufactured at Home

buying machinery stationary plant
may be installed which should pro-
duce limestone at a low cost per
ton. AS each case is a business
proposition which will have to be
considered by itself. it is difficult
to advise as to which type of outfit
is the best purchase.
Limestone ground to pass through
ten-mesh screen, all finer particles
included, is recommended by the de-
partment of agriculture for cne
common application of two tons to
the acre. Either very finely pulver-
lied limestone or burnt lime is rec
commended where an application of
only few hundred pounds to the
acre is to be made. For general
use in the more humid portions of
the country it advises an applica-
ton of one to two tons Of ground
limestone to the acre. or one-half
that amount Of burnt lime, once in a
rotation of not more than five years
unless actual test proves this I'M
necessary.

COTTON EXPORTS
TO BE STRESSED
IN SPEECH HERE

Governor Richard 7. Manning, of
South Carolina, in his address to
the conference of Atlanta bankers
and business men to be held Fri
day afternoon for the purpose of
devising ways and means of meet
special attention to the cotton eX-
port situation and it's bearing upon
the present demoralized condition of
the market.
He will show that central Europe,
which normally uses more than a
market completely because of the
very heavy depreciation of the cur
rency of those countries. He will
show that the stoppage of exports
to central Europe is one of the main
factors in forcing down the price
of cotton. He will further show
that central European countries are
anxious to buy at least three MIL
lion bales if the necessary financial
accommodations can be extended to
them. This involves the formation
of cotton export corporation with
the aid of the war finance cor
poration. Just at this point the cot
pressed by Secretary Houston that
there is no necessity for the war
finance corporation to function.
either in aiding cotton exports or
other exports. without the assist
ance of the war finance corpora
ton, the cotton leaders contend. ex-
ports of cotton cannot be financed.
All indications point to a large
and representative attendance at the
conference Friday afternoon. which
is to be held in the assembly hall
of the chamber of commerce, at
$3.50 o'clock. 1t is one Of a series
of conferences called by the finance
committee of the American Cotton
association, of which 3. F. Mcleod,
a prominent Charleston business
man, is chairman.
The association is striving to
bring about policy of co-opera-
ton between the cotton growers, the
merchants and the bankers. 1t is
the desire of the association to pre-
vent the farmers from sacrificing
themselves by dumping their cotton
on the present market below cost
of production, and on the other hand
to forestall a propaganda which
would sacrifice the creditors of the
farmers by stopping the gin houses
night riding and other radi-
cal measures.
The Atlanta bankers and business
men are thoroughly alive to the i'm
portance of the cotton situation and
are cooperating heartily with the
cotton association officials to make
the conference a success.

Joking An Indian.

Ii is dangerous to joke with an
Indian. His sense of humor is so dull
that he may think himself insulted,
when he is merely made the butt of a
bad joke. Mr.. Alexander was a decay
ed Scotchman, who, having strayed
into Fort Carlton, served the Hudson
Bay Company as clerk, at one hun
dred and twenty dollars year and his
food. Life was very dull at the Post,
but one day "White Cloud" the Sioux
chief, arrived here with seventeen war
riors. The chief, an Indian Apollo,
stood over six feet in his moccasins,
and was proud of his courage and
strength.
One day White Cloud was in Alex
ander's room, who, thinking with
Julius Hare that "the next best thing
to a very good joke is very bad joke"
put on pair of boxing gloves, and told
the Indian that with these the white
men learned to fight. Showing an
other pair, he asked White Cloud if
he would like to put them on. The
Indian, not knowing what would hap
pen-for Indians never hit with the
hands, and consider a blow from the
fist gross insult-said he would.
Alexander first took away the chiefs
knife and pistol and locked them up.
Then putting the Indian in the middle
of the room, he showed him how to
stand on his guard. With one blow
Alexander knocked the chief down. He
rose, rushed at the clerk, and was
az in knocked down.
The maddened Indian tore off his
gloves, and tried to get his knife from
the drawer, but the drawer was lock-
ed, and he GAINED Ioy.n and demanded
to be let out.
"What will you do when outside p
asked Alexander.
ATTACK the fort and kill every man in
it," said the chief
Alexander, seeing what his foolish
joke had done, resorted to a desperate
measure. He took his revolver from a
drawer, and told the chief that un-
less he promised to give up his pur-
pose and make friends, he would
shoot him on the spot For minute
or two White Cloud was obstinate :;
but Alexander produced two bottles of
whiskey and promised him these.
Then the chief shook hands, and re-
ceiving his knife and pistol, left the
room, carrying the present for which
an Indian will do almost anything. He
kept his word, though he never again
treated Alexander as friend.
