Il believe the business men will
realize that loss to the cotton grow
ers ultimately means loss to the
bankers, merchants and professional
men. Cotton is the backbone of
Georgia and we farmers refuse to
have our backs broken, which will
surely be done if big, strong deter
mined organization of the cotton as
ISOLATION is not perfected and main
tanned. The cotton association, with
its present membership - which
should be many times as targets
doing more to help the cotton far
mer and his neighbor, and all allied
interests, than any organization that
has been started in the South in
half a century. Members should
not only pay the small dues promptly
that are necessary to maintain the
organization, but help to bring in
members. The power of the cotton
association has been shown in many
WAYS and it will be the salvation of
the cotton producer when it reaches
the proportions its organizers have
proposed. AS has been truly said
in unity there is strength. Organl-
cation will win
The movement initiated by the
American Cotton association to meet
the unusual conditions in the cotton
market by holding large portion OF
the crop, and then to market grad
ually, has taken strong all over the
South, and the result in Georgia Is
far more effective than had been ex-
pected. :,
In some parts of the South, feel
ing has been running high on the
question, as the farmers have seen
the labor of a whole years come to
naught but added debts, and drastic
steps have been taken in some sec
tons to enforce compliance. These,
of course, are only sporadic express
sions and represent only the action
of the people in thos immediate
neighborhoods. The American Cot
ton association has condemned gin
burnings in no uncertain terms.

JOHN W. THOMAS

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Regarding this man O'Connor's charges that Birmingham has mum ber of "Jclly Beans" on the corners ogling the women, and a number Of lewd women passing by 10 be ogled at both charges are true: but If any one will take time to investigate he will learn that nine out of ten of this ele- ment came from Illinois or adjoining states. north of the Mason Dixon line, into the south, and to some extent have corrupted the morals of some people here to just the extent to which they have fallen.
 I know personally of a number Of cases where these women of lax nor als have married and destroyed the happiness forever of well meaning young men of the south. I do not mean to charge that all women of the north are bad. nor all women of the south good, but any one who knows any thing, knows that the moral standard of the south has always been much higher than that of the north.
 As to the liquor to be bought in Bir- mingham, any one who is familiar with the situation knows that liquor can be bought and served openly in the old familiar way in Chicago. and other cities of the north today There are literally thousands of places where it can be had in this way, served in res taurants in small glasses under police protection.

 To Include Improvement
 Amendment For Jefferson
Call to Provide That People of County Vote On Desiraby of County Standing Back of Its Own Greater De- velopment, Entailing More Employment,
 and Surer Growth

vigorously participate, will be outlined.
 H. Key Miner, chairman of the local inland waterways committee. wired the governor of the action of the two civic bodies, and it was following this that the governor promised 10 issue the call.
 MT. Milner calls attention to the fact that the alignment of the Chamber of Commerce and Civic Association in this common cause means the enlistment of more than 4,000 citizens of Birmingham in the one purpose, the first time in the history of the city that such a force has been brought together. He believes it to be invincible.
 TO EXPLAIN
 The principal aim of the campaign will be to enlighten the voters of Ala bama as to the amendment. It will be fully explained to them that it does not affect any other county, and that all 1t does is to grant to citizens Of this county the right to spend some more of their own money, If they seq fit, for their own purposes.
 The principal object of the
 amendment is the development of
 the Port of Birmingham. which is
 being offered several times the
 present form.
 It will be urged that port aid and the Jefferson county amendment not ,nly do not conflict, but are part and parcel of the same plan.

Jelly Beans;" that doesn't half de- scribe these measley loafers who gather about every corner, about the theatres-in fact, every public place where there are lots of pedestrians, namely girls.
 Now, my point of view Is this, some of these little old painted frilly, fluffy ruffles, porch walk dolls should not be allowed to appear in public. They are in all cities. of course, but worse here than any city I have visited recently. To think they are the future genera ton! They give these so-called jelly beans lots of room to flirt with them and they make ugly vulgar remarks about them. Why, it has become so bad that a real good little lady cannot receive the respect she is entitled to, but instead unjust insults.
 Your city council should enforce q keep walking law" like in Chicago and all real cities, then there wouldn't be much room for the jelly beans. Then, maybe, these baby dolls would find other means of enjoyment be- sides parading the streets.
 I think it's a sin to close the shows on Sunday What harm is there in op- erating them on Sundays, anyway?
 We are only doomed to stay here another week, thank goodness, then we are bound for home. Very sincerely.

FRED J. BAK FER


 To Editor of The AgeHerald:
 Mir O'Connor hit the nail on the head with a sledge hammer. How ever, 1t was a little too light. Too bad he didn't walk on Fourth and Fifth avenues near the Terminal depot or Twenty fourth or Twenty fifth streets. He would have seen sights that would make Armour avenue in Chicago think it was an amateur.
 Did he see the poles, gutters, sewers. or the streets? Why it looks like No Mans Land, Only a large auto can stand the strain. Whats the trouble? Get that hay seed commission out of office and get somebody in there who will do. One way to wake up the sleep CTS and dreamers would be to give them ride on the whip at East Lake. It would at least jar their frames a lit- tie.

ARE CONSIDERING
 FARE REFUND|NG Chamber of Commerce May Reimburse Railway Expense
 of Buyers In City

The wholesale committee of the Chamber of Commerce is mapping out plan for attracting trade to Bir- mingham by refunding the fare of visi- tors who make purchases while hers of volume sufficient to justify this re- bate.
 The idea is about this;
 Wholesalers and jobbers who are members of the chamber, will be or ganized into special unit of ths chamber with this end in view.
 The names of the members of the unit and the nature of their business will be printed on a card, each mem Der to be provided with plenty of copies.
 The visitor to Birmingham who makes purchase at one of these es- tablishments will be presented with a card or it the amount of his purchase, certified by the merchant
 The visitor will take this card about with him. making various purchase from other merchants whose names ap- pear on the card, and each merchant in turn will certify the amount of pur- chase on the card.
 When the visitor has completed his shopping and is ready ts return home, he will present his card to the secre- tary of the chamber, who will foot up the totals and refund the visitor the amount to which his purchases entitle him.
 Much enthusiasm Is reported as al- ready aroused in the proposition, and it is understood to be coming to head. It is thought it will soon be in opera tion.
 It is probable that membership will not be confined to jobbers and whole salers, but any member of the club de- siring to be a member will be allowed to do so.
