bitration of the Butts county tax

has addressed a note to the Panama
government charging that the pro-
jected closing down of all business
on Labor day as an expression of
public mourning for the loss of the
Coto district, on the Costa Rican
frontier, is "anti?American propa-
ganda." Governor Morrow states
that this attitude on the part of the
government might lead to disturb
ances next Monday throughout the
republic.
Proposals that there be erected a
monument commemorative the Cote
affair are described by Governor
Morrow as a hostile act toward the
United States and one that would
engender Il-feeling between the two
peoples" He points out the strong
ties linking Panama and the United
States. and declares it is necessary
to maintain amicable relations. Dis
turbances, he declares, would bring
about the policing of the cities of
Panama and Colon by American
forces.
Secretary of Foreign Relations AL

Panaman government is animated by
a desire to maintain amicable rela-
lions and that the anti-American

Townsville Boys
Go 200 Miles Down
River in a Canoe

BROWNSVILLE. Ga, Sept. a.
Two Thomasville boys, John Searcy
and Jack Cox, who decided to take
a trip down the Ochlockr.ee river in
a canoe, have returned and report a
lnost successful and enjoya BILE trip.
They started out, on the river just
below brownsville, and went 20U
miles to the mouth in seven days,
which was pretty good going.
They made a camp rear the banks
every evening. They did not take a
tent along, but swung their ham
mocks from trees and spread mos
quito nets over them. Fortunately
for the boys, they struck dry spell
and had no rains at all at night.
They didn't mind a little wetting in
the daytime-they were not enGurR-
bered with enough clothes to be
damaged by a shower. They took
the train back home. as it would
have been stiff work returning up
stream.
Nobody else here has ever made
this trip, and the boys have been
kept busy telling all about it and
the wild animal. and alligators that
they didn't meet UP with.

COTTON BRINGS 10
CENTS IN AUGUSTA;
PROSPERITY IS SEEN

AUGUSTA, Ga, Sept. 4-With
cotton selling at IS cents a pound
here Friday, business men and farm
ers were forecasting a new era of
prosperity for this entire section.
Augusta has been drunk on cotton
cent cotton coming as the climax.
Rev. j. c. farrell, pastor of the
leading Methodist church here, was
an interested and excited visitor On
change Friday. Pointing. dramati-
cally at the new cotton figures on
the blackboard, DR.. FARRELL declared
that the advance in cotton meant
that many circuit riders in the south
who had little hope of receiving any
salary this year would now be paid
at least enough to make them COM
Portable for the winter. ct means
living for Them" the minister
said.
Thomas Barrett, seRior member
of the firm of Barrett & Co.. and
former mayor, has just returned
from tour of inspection over the
4 cotton belt. Mr.. Barrett states that
the advance in price is certain to
continue and that it will more than
offset the small number of bales
made. According to Mr.. Barrett,
financial rehabilitation of the entire
south He very frankly states that
there is a cotton famine and that
nothing can keep the price from con-
tinuing upward.
The firm of Barrett & Co. now
state that they have four or five
buyers for every bale of cotton that
is put on the market. AS has al
ways been the rule, the demand in
creases as the price advances, and
1t is holding good in this instance.
= S. H. Still, prominent farmer and
business man of Blackville, S. c.,
was on the cotton exchange floor
Friday, and he made the prediction
that even a greater cotton famine
than that of 1921 will exist next
year, and as a result cotton will sell |
again for 40 cents a pound. He
also believes that as a result of the |
farmer of the south turning his at |
tention to live stock and grain in |
stead of to cotton, the price of ba-
and that wheat will sell for 81 |
bushel.
Good times are ahead for the !
farmers OF the south, especially in |
Georgia and South Carolina, accord |
ing to Mr.. Still, and there is every |
reason for the tiller of the soil to be |
optimistic at this time.
The slump in cotton during the |
past year very near proved the COM |
plete financial ruin of many cotton |
men in Augusta, this class of bust |
ness suffering to a greater extent |
than any other here, and for that |
reason the advance in prices Is |
eVoking the greatest outbursts of |
enthusiasm ever witnessed on Au- |
guSta's cotton row.
