Helping Along

There are always many
chances to improve this vale Of
tears, as a delegate advances
down the highway of the years.
There are burdens you might
carry, to relieve some weary jay,
who would like to rest and tarry,
for a season, on his way. There
are luckless gents a-plenty who
are deep in divers holes, and
some kind words, nine or twenty,
we'll, might stimulate their souls.
Oh, some little chunks of kind
ness bring relief to those who
sigh, and we walk in moral
blindness if we let a chance get
by. Just a pleasant morning
greeting, as we strut along our
way, to the citizen we're meet
ing, brightens up that fellows
day. Just gossip with kiddy
as to school she tolls along, in
her tucker and her MILDLY, fills
her youthful heart with song.
Oh, a mug that's always pleas
ant, with fve-by-fourteen
smile, makes the future and the
present seem to jaded gents
worth while. We can make this
world a daisy as we toddle to
the tomb, if we're not too all
fired lazy to dispel some yards
of gloom.

BUSINESS MEN URGE
RALLY FOR COTTON
Leading Organizations Send Special
Invitations to Convention Called in
Atlanta Next Friday and Saturday.

ATLANTA, Oct 13.-Following
the proclamation of Governor Dorsey
for the statewide cotton convention
to be held in Atlanta next FRIDAY
and Saturday, leading business organ
| lzations of Atlanta today mailed spec
lal invitations to leading citizens in
various sections of the state empha-
sizing the Importance of the conven-
ton and urging large attendance.
The invitation is signed by the
Georgia Bankers Association, the At
lanta Retail Merchants Association
the Southeastern Shoe Retailers AS
ISOLATION, the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce, the Atlanta Retail Mer-
chants Association and the Atlanta
Automobile Association.
The organizations stress the fact
that the convention has been called
to discuss and suggest remedies to
relieve the present serious condition
Of the cotton producers and the eff
feet that condition is having upon
every business of the State.
The meeting will be held in the
house of representatives, in the state
capitol under the auspices of the
Georgia Division of the American
Cotton Association. Both President
r. w. Mattox and Secretary Treas
urer w. H. Lathrop, Jr., of this di-
vision, have been busily engaged for
more than week perfecting the de-
tails of the big gathering. Delegates
and members of the association from
every county in the state will be in
attendance. 1t will probably be one
of the most representative gather
ings Of its kind ever held in Georgia,
ais the association includes in its mem
bership not only cotton farmers, but
bankers, merchants, warehousemen,
ginners, lawyers, doctors; in fact, ev-
cry line of business and profession
identified with the business and agri-
cultural development of the state
DSildlOl iOlIldS !. VI Ala
bama; Senator E. D. Smith, of South
Carolina; Hon. J. S. Wannamaker,
president of the American Cotton
Association, will be among the speak
ers
The Importance of storing cotton
in bonded warehouses, as disting-
uished from non-bonded warehouses,
will be a leading subject of discus
sion at the meeting For several
months the cotton association with
cooperation by the state market bu-
reau and the state department of
banking has been advocating the use
of bonded warehouses by farmers
storing their cotton. A bonded ware
house receipt makes better piece of
collateral for bank loan than a nom
bonded warehouse receipt.
Other subjects to be given a prom
inent place on the program of the
convention are county organization,
cooperative marketing societies, ware
house construction and other matters.
