Cotton A Failure.

From many sections of the county and state, if
first hand reports may be fully accredited the cot
ton crop this year is losing proposition 1t is
true cotton is bringing around % cents, but when
it takes from to Is to produce bale, price
of so cents would not make the farmers very rich
From reports, the boil weevil has taken very
heavy toll and all efforts to combat his activities
have proven of little value
A farmer from the lower section of Cobb county
stated this week that he would only get 500 bale
off of twelve acres. Whether or not this wohld be
reasonable estimate for the production of other
sections we are not able to say, but do know
that it will take larger production for any farmer
to make profit by raising cotton.
AS rule the farmers planning to plant a
different crop next year and this the most
logical solution Of the situation 1t is certain that
more effective means will have to be found to fight
the little pest if cotton is to be grown in Cobb county
at a profit in the future.

A highly interesting program was
carried out at the meeting of the
Junior Health Organization for this
county at the court house last Sat-
urday. Many members were pres

instructive paper on "The Ellis
Health Law" Mr.. James R. Hasty,
also of the 7th grade, read a paper
on the Ellis Health Law showing how
in every way, if this law was proper
ly carried out, how vast would be the
benefits to the state. Miss Roberta
Sylvester's topic was 'The Cobb
County Junior Health Organization"
In addition DR.. Todd, county health
officer, gave some valuable informa-
ton in regard to first aid. Movies,
consisting of Meath Polan's Harvest
Skies" and ain Lonesome Hollow
furnished the recreational part of
the program.

Sheriffs in the country seem to be amazed at the
trouble they have in getting women to serve on
iuries They say that women have many excuses
and most of them are illegal In considering these
we should realize that this is very new custom to
women and were the tables turned and men serving
as jurors for the first time would undoubtedly
find them giving quite as foolish excuses. Also we
must consider that great many men are exempt
from jury service because of professional duty We
men certainly should have the privilege of exemp
ton if they are mothers or housewives for it is quite
as essential for the country that their business
should continue uninterrupted as that OF PROBES

brought about by the boys employed In
the trade, and when the change was
made to this system now in operation
the manufacturers themselves congratu-
lated us, some Of them saying 1t is the
best that has ever been done in the
carpet trade.
1.-THE change asked for by the carpet
manufacturers Is nothing else than an
attempt to increase the number OF
learners in our trade. 1t would be un-
fair to the learners and to ourselves to
change the system and have three or
four men for each loom.
AT present we have one spare
hand or apprentice for every six weav-
ers, and at this ratio we are making
more than 100 weavers every year,
which is larger number than needed
TO supply the vacancies occurring In the
business, and the only reason for the
suggested change is the desire of the
manufacturers to create further SUR
plus of wcavers.
"A statement in the EVENING PuB..
LILO LEDGER of January II credited
Mr.. Magee. of the Hardwick & Magcc
Co., as saying that the weavers at that
plant have averaged $50 per week for
the last year and half and that some
men have averaged $50 for the last
eight months, can best be answered in
Mr.. Magee's own words, I'VE do not
intend to pay any attention to any such
nonsense as that
"Thc manufacturers argue that the
| cost of living has come down 20 to ~
per cent, but that also is nonsense, as
! the reduction in the cost of living up TO
| the present time is hardly noticeable.
We claim that in view of the above :
stated facts relating to the price or
| ~. l.N 80, Af
! and rugs any slight reduction in the
| living costs, to again quote the manu-
| faCturers. is None of their business.
The only plant engaged in the man
ufacturc Of Wilton and Brussels car
/ pets and rugs at present in operation
/ is one Of the largest plants in the Coun-
trv. and this plant has not offered any
reduction in wages to its employees. The
explanation Of this may be found in the
! faCt that the firm in question is not a
member of the Wilton and Brussels
Manufacturers Association.
Henry ]. Magce. who is secretary
Of the Association of Wilton and Brus-
soils Manufacturers of America and a
member of the firm of Harwick X
| Magcc, of this city, said today that
| none of the Wilton and Brussels mills
| were operating.
| Mr.. Mngce characterized the general
statistics relating to wages paid textile
/ workers and the earnings of their en-
I ploycrs during the war period, given
out several days ago by the textile
| council. as ridiculous.
"Understand that l am in n position
( to speak only for the Wilton MANI
| facturers," said Mr.. Magce. Ih'
( figures in regard to wages which am
| able to give out concern only the wcav-
/ crs. Our contention is with them
/ solely. In the Wilton trade weavers al
over the United States in the FIRST fiHht
months of 1920 averaged $50 a week.
Some crackerjack wcavers here made aS
much as $50 week.
THE Textile Councils statement IN
regard to large profits made by tn"

mills during the war period Ia ridicu-
lous on the face Of it. What is the
source Of the councils information
How did they arrive at those fguresY
Certainly Il was not by examining the
books Of the 625 textile mills they say
are operated in Philadelphia.
Profits Went to Government
Furthermore, the council seems to
have overlooked the fact that the more
money the manufacturers made the
greater the amounts they turned over to
the government. These sums have been
enormous. The workers do not take
that into consideration. There Is no
reason why the manufacturers should
make any answer to the gratuitious as
sertion of the Textile Council that
enormous profits have been made.
"a comparison of the cost of living
as it gradually increased from 1913 to
1920, with the increased wages paid In
the textile trades during the same
period, will show that the weavers in
the Wilton trade, about which ] am
best qualified to speak, were able to
force the manufacturers to pay an cx-
cess in wages of about 35 per cent over
knows that the Wilton weavers made n
nice living before the war.
This being the case, why should the
manufacturers be forced to continue to
pay them this excess now that the arti =
fetal condition has passed which made
it possible for the weavcrs to demand a
rate that was unreasonably high? II
they are getting 35 per cent too much
why should they object to n reduction
Of 25 per cent?
1.-THE fact of the matter Is that the
Wilton weavers have an extremely
strong union and have had things their
own way during the war; Now they
are trying to force us to comply with
their wishes. The war is over now and
we don't intend to stand for it.
