COTTON BONDS
GETAPPROVALOF
BUSINESS MEN

A plan Of issuing cotton bonds
with which to meet pressing obliga
tons in place of using money fol
that purpose, has been worked ou
by W. J. Walker. farmer ant
business man of Sylvania, in Screw
en- county, and has been submitted
by him with favorable results te
prominent business men Of Atlantis
and other cities.
Briefly stated. the plan is as fol
lows:
bankers in a county form a cottor
bonding corporation, and name 6
trustee to hold their cotton and is
sue their bonds.
FARMERS desiring to obtain
cotton bonds place their cotton in
ethe hands of the trustee. who de-
posits the cotton in a warehouse
r. weighs it, grades it. insures it, an6
issues bonds to the owner. accord,
ing to the amount of cotton so de-
posted, and according to the basis
of value upon which the security is
hypothecated.
S-The farmer then uses his cot.
ton bonds. which are split up into
small denominations. for the pur-
pose of paying his pressing. obliga-
tions to his merchant. banker and
4-These, in turn. pass the bonds
along. to larger creditors. such as
fertilizer companies, supply con-
Germs, large banks, ETC., which hold
them until the redemption date.
5-The period for which the bonds
run is six months.
According to Mr.. Walker, the cot
ton bonding plan. substantially as
outlined above. was used very eff
sfectively in Screven county in the
cotton crisis of 1914. when the sud-
caused temporary paralysis in the
cotton market.
Cotton then was selling. when it
pound. The, cotton bonds were is
sued on a basis of z cents a pound,
good middling, and before they ma
tured in six months the price of
cotton had gone I'D to 10 cents, and
the bonds were redeemed promptly
with g. margin of cash for the
to the cotton until the bonds were
redeemed. Thee bonds would be Sc
cured. first, by the cotton in ware
house: second. b ythe note Of the
tion. issuing the bonds:
At redemption date. if the cotton
had not reached the value for which
it was bonded. the owner would
have to pay the difference. But in
this connection. Mr.. Walker argues,
a farmer is vastly better off with
his pressing obligations paid and
his cotton retired from the market,
than with his creditors waiting and
his cotton unsold on a stagnant
market. Further. Mr.. Walker ar
CUES that the sale of cotton now at
very low prices may yield a farmer
less than he owes. and the dump
ing of cotton on the market will
sink the price still lower
The cotton bond plan has been
considered bv the directors of the
Georgia division of the American
Cotton association. and they think
well of it and indorse it. Mr.. Wal
ker is making his headquarters for
the present in the offices of the
Georgia division in the Kiser build
lpg. He will put the plan before
the bankers, merchants and farmers
of the entire south. He has pre-
pared prospectus in pamphlet
form to be given wide circulation.
The South Carolina division of
the American Cottons association,
according to Mr.. Walker. has also
Endorsed the cotton bond plan, and
he expects to see a number of coun-
ty bonding corporations launched in
that state in the near future

will get so they will stop trying to
kill Herman Raspe, of New Orleans,

done. Raspe's latest accident was
being struck on the nose by rivet
plunger, the blow being equivalent to
$50 pounds. Hfs nose was split, but
hospital surgeons say he will recover
A few weeks ago Raspe fell fifty
feet from a scaffolding and escaped
with minor scratches on one arm.
While serving on the Mexican border
he tried to saddle Maud, the regi-
ment's fightinest mule. When Maud
finished the first round Raspe had
scared through the air forty-siX feet
by actual measurement. The prints
Of two hind mule shoes were clear
on his chest. But he got his wind
back, took drink of ammonia and
saddled Maud.

Representatives OF twenty one stea NJ

yesterday assured Frederick a. Wallis.

were busy times ahead for him. The
rate Of immigration for the next five
years, they told him, would be limited
only by the mmodations If the
passenger steamships.
lone of these steamship representa-
tives told me-" the Commissioner said,
that so many requests for passage to
America had been received from Ger
many that it looked as though the en-
tire country was trying to come here.
The steamship men say our weekly
average will soon hit $4,000 and prob
ably will exceed that figure.
"The representative of an Italian
line told me that in Italy alone there
are 1000 goo applications for pass
ports to America, while an agent of
the Hebrew Sheltering Society said
that arrangements had been made to
receive 1000 Jewish immigrants a week
for the next tifty-two weeks. Another
steamship man said that foreign ap-
plications for passage to America had
been SO heavy they could have booked
their steamers solid for the next ten
years"

LUCERNE, Switzerland, Aug. 49,
Premier Lloyd George of Great Brit
ain arrived in Lucerne this afternoon
He told the correspondent Of The AS
sociated Press that the only official
meeting that has been arranged was
one with Signor Giolitti, the Italian
Premier. This probably will take
place next Monday No visits from
Dr.. Walter Simons, the German Chan
cellor, or Prince Feisal, King of Syria,
had as yet been arranged, he said.
The private secretary of Mr.. Lloyd
George asserted to-day that there was
no truth in the report that the Pre-
mer intended to visit the United
States and Canada in October. He
said, however. that Mr.. LLOYD George
hoped to make visit there next year
if the European political situation is
improved.
BERNIE, Aug. l9.-Ashed by Swiss
newspaper men for his opinion on Ger
many's attitude toward the peace
treaty, while passing through Basel
on his way to Lucerne, Premier Lloyd
George replied:
"Well, when the Germans have to
choose between Bolshevism and the
Treaty Of Versailles they certainly will
choose the latter as the lesser evil"
