TRADING IN SOUTH
HINGES ON COTTON
Business is Maintained on Safe and
Stable Basis When Profitable Price
is Received For Staple.

Misunderstanding to officials. of
the Georgia Division of the American
Cotton Association, the price of spot
cotton in the South bears very
close relationship to the success of
every big business trading in the south
II the price of cotton can be maintain
ed at profitable prices to the growers,
business in the South is maintained
upon safe and stable basis.
The extent to which waste is elm
mated in handling of the crop, and
economic forms adopted in the mar
letlng OF thestaple, the safety of
southern business is to that extent
further safeguarded and protected,
says R. w Mattox, president OF the
Georgia Division of the cotton asso-
cation. All classes of business con-
nected with southern interests IN aov
way, therefore, regard the financial
support of the American Cotton Asso-
cation in its efforts to protect the
price OF cotton and apply economic
and efficiency. to the handling and
marketing OF the staple, as being both
sound and necessary at this period of
the Associations development. The
subscription of three-year member
ship lii the association is an invest
ment which will be used to make bus
mess safe for the subscriber.
SUSTAINING memberships, according
to President Mattox, are now being
subscribed by large farmers, bankers
merchants, jobbers and manufacturers
operating IN the various states. and
by large jobbers and manufacturers in
various sections of the country doing
business in the South.
In addition to taking these men,
bersh1ps, officials Of the association are
at work increasing the membership
roll IN Georgia Plans have been per
iected to cover the entire south. Gen
eral Nathan B. Forrest, son of the
noted Confederate general of that
name, and +. r. Beckwith, a promi-
nent young business man, have recent
ly joined the forces of the state d.
vision, being placed in charge as di-
fectors general Of the membership de-
partment.
The slogan of the association is
Every Georgian member of the
cotton association" AS pointed out
by the cotton association officials and
business men here, the organization is
DONG and will continue to do more
Tor the state and the south as a whole
than any similar organization Ahat
mas been formed during the last o,,ar.
ter of century. 4D"A~

FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Following the solicitation of friends
IN this county in every walk of life
eXcept those whose hold on high paw
and little work is maintained by strik-
es and mobs of strikers, believing that
the voters of this county should have
at least two candidates for Repre-
sentative from whom to select, and
being in a business which will in no
way interfere with my making this
race nor with my giving my entire
attention to the office if elected, I
announce as candidate for Repre-
sentative from Ben Hill County.
l am IN favor of state and nation
demobilizing at once their armv of
civilian workers, who were necessary
IN war, but who are now an unnec-
essary drain upon the tax payer. I
favor rigid economy in government
during the continuance of these abb
normally high prices.
l believe our state and nation should
cease meddling with your private
business and with mine combining the
activities of government to its only
three legitimate branches, the 1egis-
lativc, the judicial, and the executive.
The rabid element now in control
OF the unions, the only people l know
OF who combine to reduce production
and increase prices, supported by
ceaseless strikes and by mobs which
refuse you your constitutional1v
guaranteed right to work on jobs they
have quit, are small minority of our
people. What they gain, you lose
Yet in their executive Council of Feb.
9th, 1920, arrogant over their many
victories wrenched from you while
you were winning the war they, boldly
announce that they will defeat any
candidate who does not offer them
more than simply justice. 1 accept
their challenge in Ben Hill County. l
am agin 'em.
If elected, I shit fairly represent
those who trust me to do the Job.

es ME to state my position on such leg
isaton in which the people of my

alton on behalf of the state and such
legislation as may come before me

laboring people of Georgia shall

Cor the laborer is due his hire" and
I couldn't do less than guard the
legitimate interests of this large

ment
In other matters of local interest
which may come up during my term
of office | shall use my influence in
behalf of the people of my county.
