Reports Heard
Saturday At Noon
From Townships Where Drive in In.
terest of Cotton Association Has
Been in Progress-Pres.
Nickles Makes Talk

A meeting which was well attend
ed, was held in the court house at
noon Saturday where reports from
the various township committees
were received of the drives which
have been put on during last week in
the interest Of additional member
ships for the Abbeville County
branch of the American Cotton as
sociation. Miss Lois Erwin, field Sec
retary of the association was present
for the meeting. It is due largely to
her hard work and activity over the
county that so many new member
ships have been secured FOR the as
sociation. Of the townships reporting
Saturday the result is:
Abbeville-69 memberships, COL
lected s324.75.
Due West-s3 memberships, col
lecCeQ 9l1l.UV.
Antreville-72 memberships, COL
lected $4,000.
Cedar Springs-14 memberships,
no report.
Long Cane-28 memberships, no
report.
Neither was any report received
from Smithville, Donalds, Or Cal
houn Falls. 1t will probably be the
18th of the month before any final
report can be expected from the
whole county. The gentlemen in
charge of the drive feel optimistic
about the final outcomeAs the asso-
citation was practically unknown in
the county thirty days ego, there
being only 81 memberships in the
whole county at that time.
Before the reports. were heard
Saturday Mr.. G.. N. Nickles, county
president made a timely talk to the
so farmers present along the lines of
advantages to be secured from ally
ing themselves with the American
Cotton association and the erection
If sufficient warehouses to store cot

deputies returned to the city after
waiting until midnight the deputies
returned to the city after receiving
the assurance of Mr.. Radcliffe that
he would bring, Callahan 20 the city
when he returned home. This Mr..
Mr.. Radcliffe did Sunday morning
and Callahan was placed in Jail i'm
mediately after the jury returned the
verdict charging him with reckless
driving.
Callahan states that he was not
rinking and had not been drinking
during the day but that he simply
could not stop the car although he
used every effort he knew to use. He
couldn't explain why he passed Mr.
.Uldrick's buggy on the wrong side
of the road nor could ne remember
about any woman walking off from
the scene of the acciden. with him.
Mr.. Radcliffe and Chief johnson
both of whom have known Callahan
for a number of years give him an
excellent name for honesty and hum
bleness.
Older readers will recall that Mrs.
John Knox lost her life many years
ago in this same place by the surrey
in which she was riding beng run in
to deep gully which used to paral-
lei the road down what was then
known as Parker hill.

CAMPAIGN FOR
HIGH COTTON PRICES
CONFERENCE TO FIX PLANS
FOR HANDLING CROP BOTH
IN HOME AND FOREIGN MAR.
KETs. MEETING IN. sEPTEM-
BER OF GROWERS AND 9TH.
ERS INTERESTED IN PRoDUc.
TON OF STAPLE.

Washington, Aug. Cotton
growers have begun plans for the
maintenance Of high prices for the
incoming cotton crop. Some growers
are hoping for prices around 40
cents per pound because of the re-
dueed acreage.
Congressman J. Thomas Heflin
of Alabama, who has been .nomina-
ted by the Democrats Of Alabama
to succeed the late Senator Bank
head, said today that a conference
of the leading cotton growers asso-
Citations anil others interested in the
maintenance of a profitable produc-
tion for cotton has been arranged
for early in September.
At this conference plans will be
perfected for handling the cotton
crop both on the home and on for
eign markets, definite knowledge
will be obtained as to the demand
and requirements and transporta-
tion facilities will be studied and
provided for as far as possible.
1t is believed the. cotton growers
and those interested in the returns
from this distinctively southern
crop that if there is organized sell
ing and a par Of the crop held off
the market until the offerings can
be absorbed gradually good prices
car be had for the entire crop.
The legislation enacted at the last
session Of Congress establishing ad-
ditional standards for cotton, regu-
Iating deliveries on cotton ex-'
changes and curbing speculation in
futures will prove of advantage to
the growers, it is said, in the mar
keting of their crop.

Carriers To Receive
ISL, 900, A Year
Income BY Rate Increases More
Than Standard Return Allowed
BY Government Experts
Busy on Schedule

" dallinStoHI @Au6oSt AAA
creases granted the railroads by
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion are declared to give the car
riers an annual net income of ST.
$4,000, 900 or $241, 100000 more
than the standard return allowed by
the government based on the aver
age of the period Immediately pre-
ceding federal control.
This sum is $34,000,000 more
than the roads made in their recoru
year of 1916, but is $99,000,000
less than the total of $1,2S3,0O0,-
900 net operating income which
they sought in presenting their ap-
plications to the commission.
Rate experts of the carriers will
set to work tomorrow on the tre-
mendous task of preparing the new
tariff schedule which it is planned
to file in time for the increased
rates, freight, passenger and Pull
man-to become effective Septem-
Der 1. On that date the government
guarantee of the standard return of
S893, 100000 annually will expire
under a provision of the Transpor-
tation Act limiting this guarantee
to six months after the carriers
were returned to have the control.
Rate Increases Granted
Experts of the commission and
the carriers also will undertake to
figure the actual money return
which will accrue to the roads from
the rate increases granted, which
are about 33 per cent on freight
rates, 20 per cent on passenger, ex-
cess baggage and milk rates and so
per cent on charges for space in
sleeping and parlor cars.
The actual increased amount to
be received by the roads has been
roughly estimated at s1,500,000,
but until the new tariffs are put in
operation the exact amount is
problematical. With passenger fares
increased one-fifth and Pullman
charges advanced one-half passen-
ger travel probably will be reduced:
Based on the present passenger
traffic these increases are expected
to yield the roads return of S277,-
100000, all of which was sought to
help absorb the wage advance to
railroad workers which the railroad
labor board has informed the COM
mission will work out at $685.
100000 instead Of the s6OO,OOO,-
900 first estimated. The carriers
have figured the increase at $685.
100000, but for the purposes of the
rate case the commission used the
boards figures.
Southern Roads
Southern. roads were valued by the
commission at S2,0OO,OO0,OOO so
that their net operating income
would be s12O,OOO,OOO. This is
$16,OOO,OO0 less than the standard
return of $13S,OOO,OOO. The COM
mission explained that the finan-
cial condition of the Southern car
riers as a whole was more favorable
than that of the roads in the other
groups.

The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-06-09

Back in 1900, when I was training Jim Jeffries, took. stroll one after noon that landed me in Allaire, very small town nearby. It was hot and dusty and together with Al Sanders, who was my companion on the hike, l dropped into a little hotel for refresh ments and rest.
 Sanders happened to know the pro- prietor who rushed over and greeted him. Al introduced me. but just at the moment he was pronouncing my name the door was slamme ed by some new arrivals and the name was lost to the hotel owner.
 What brings you here?" asked the proprietor of Sanders.
 .'Oh, I was over to Jim Corbett's camp to watch him work and came along this way for little exercise, replied Al.
 Say, ain't that fellow joker" burst out the hotel man.
 "Oh, I thought he was pretty good, retorted Al.
 Don't make any mistake like that was the come back. T guess you fel- lows don't object to making a little soft money do you?" We'll, that being the case, you can stick the whole bank roll on Jeffries to win. Why, that Corbett is nothing but dude"
 Have you seen him work?s asked Al, while I remained perfectly quiet
 BATTING
 "I've been over there every day and he looks worse all the time, said the proprietor. Hell be just a mark for Jeffries. I tell you--iust a mark And think of it--that guy Corbett eats ice cream sodas nearly every night. Think of it-a fighter training on ice cream.'
 But" baited Al. T thought he was doing pretty well with his training
 Don't you be a sucker-and don't let your friend be a sucker, AL" said the hotel man, turning to me. Cor betts just a dude--thats all He'll be whipped in a round. Take my advice -bet all you've got on Jeffries.''
 Do yo uknow Corbett personality I asked, assisting Al in kidding the proprietor.
 "Certainly,' he said And I've seen him work nearly every day. too. Might have been a fighter ten years ago just joke now Don't let any one tell you otherwise. He thinks he's going to win but he is crazy when he thinks that"
 Just at that moment a party en- tered the room. One of the fellows was an old pal of mine. He came over to our table bringing his friends along.
