INFORMATION CONCERING
CLAIMS FOR COTTON
SEIZED IN 1865

The following letter from Hon. }. u.
Watkins will furnish some valuable in
formation to those who hold claims
given for cotton seized in the year 1865
by the Federal authorities:
Room Sc, Home Life Building
18th and G Sts N. w.
Washington, D. G.
October 10, 1921.
Mr.. 7. H. Mosely, Ringgold, La.
Dear Tom: In your letter of the 18th
instant you ask whether a claim for
cotton, which was taken by the FEEDER
al authorities in 1865, can be collected
In answer I will state that the Gov
eminent throws every possible obstacle
in the way Of collecting claims and
it appears difficult now to collect these
claims, although when I first became
a member of Congress I began work
to procure the passage Of a law pro.
viding for their payment.
Finally the law was passed and be-.
came operative in 1911, providing that
all claims for this cotton which was
taking after June list, 1866, should be
paid, where the proceeds of the cotton
were in the Treasury.
The Attorney for the Government
interposed the objection that the claim
ants were not loyal at all times to the
Government. This prevented the
claimants from proceeding in the COL
lection of their claims.
This contention was decided to be
untenable by the Court. In the mean.
time six years elapsed and the Attor.
ney for the Government now pleads
the six year statute of Limitation
against these claims.
This plea is still pending in the
Counrt.
1t appears as if the claimants will

A POWER THAT HELPS.

The factories are reopening. Men are

ing and buying soon will resume their
normal activity. Contentment will
supplant unrest throughout the land.
All to a large degree because through
out this period Of slackness and stag
nation one force has remained hope
fully on the job. Do you know what
that force is? 1t is advertising.
We will refrain from emphasizing,
as we justly might, Advertising's d.
rect service to the public in lowering
the price Of goods, maintaining quality
among products, and promoting cor
rect, convenient, valuable, buyer
knowledge. We will overlook for the
moment Advertising's powerful contri-
button as a sales factor to the indiyid.
ual success of the business that EN-
ploys it. These things are generally
known and realized. They need no
particular urging to arouse recognition
in the public mind. The great and out
standing fact for laymen and advertis-
ing men to grasp now is that Adver.
tising by its own demonstration is a
valuable and vital factor in the pro-
motion Of the whole national good. No
man is outside its sphere of influence
It embraces all and affects all. The
layman accustomed to look doubtfully
or indifferently upon advertising as an
instrumentality solely for the benefit
of the fortunate few, now suddenly
sees it power intimately and INSOFAR
ably linked with himself and his own
interests. This young and vigorous
force has helped lift business back in.
to the saddle, the worker back into his
job.
Advertising has kept alive hope. 1t
has shamed and shattered pessimism.
1t has encouraged industry, fostered the
gradual recovery Of the buying i'm.
impulse and at last created a firm mar
ket. Now it will go forward to assist
in the development Of good business
and in the restoration Of satisfactory
political and economical conditions
throughout the country.-San Fran.
