Hight riced Cotton
HELPS Moultrie Business

MOULTRIE, Ga, Sept 13.-Fur-
Their evidence that the increase in the
price of cotton is bringing prosperi-
ty back to this section is given by
Ashley NeSmith, clerk of Colquit
superior court who stated that more
mortgages were paid UP and can
celled at his office Saturday than
have been on any other day in nearly
two years. At the same time he
stated that not a single mortgage
had been Put on record in the county
during the past six days.
While lot of farmers are holding
their cotton, the vast majority Of
them around Moultrie figure that 90
cents a pound when they planted ex-
pecting to get 10 or IL cents, is not
bad, and are selling and paying their
obligations despite the insistent talk
Of a cotton famine near at hand and
the possibility of such a state Of af-
fairs bringing about unprecedented
prices. Business in all lines has been
stimulated. Even the live stock men
and automobile dealers who seemed
to have been the worst hit when the
bottom fell out of the cotton market
last fall, are taking an optimistic
view of the situation. One big live
stock dealer here said that he ex-
pected to sell more mules this fall
and winter than he has during any

WOMAN CLAIMS COFFlNS
WERE BAD FOR BUSINESS

NEW YORK.-Ancient art and
modern undertaking, even as under
taking by DR.. Berthold Baer, are dis
tinctly inharmonious, said Mrs AIDE
line D. Cummings in explaining in
junction proceedings which she in
stituted in the supreme court against
the Fifth Avenue Memorial, Inc, of
which DR.. Baer is president, and
Hagop Kevorkian, from whom Mrs.
Enlistment both lease premises at
40 West Fifty-seventh street.
Mrs. Cummings has obtained
temporary injunction restraining the
defendants from interfering with
her\ attempt to move her antiques
from the cheerful funeral atm os-
phere which enveloped the building
Germ as tenant, but the situation
still VeXas her.
For one thing, she said, suit
against her to recover for a months
rent under her lease is pending in
the municipal court, although her
lawyer told her that the injury her
business suffered from the all-per-
vading, though suave, gloom virtual
ly constituted eviction proceedings.
When DR.. Baer's undertaking con-
Germ leased most of the building and
moved in, said Mrs. Cummings, it
soon became evident that her an
tique business was due for an early
and cheerful funeral unless she sue
ceeded in moving it to other sur
roundings while its vitality per-
sisted.
Funeral services were held in the
building, she said, and there were
collins everywhere. When prospective
customers, seeking antiques, sought
to take the elevator to Mrs. Cum
mings' shop they were likely to find
the car piled high with collins, she
said, and redolent tuberoses and res
ignation.
= The collins were undeniabfy mod
ern and utilitarian and did not ap-
peal in the slightest to Mrs. Cum
mingS' customers. One or two en-
counters with collins, she said, was
enough for the hardest and her bust
ness began to languish alarmingly.
Her attorney told ker she was JUS
titled in moving, lease or no lease,
and Mrs. Cummings prepared to do
so, although she said she might have
had premonition that her land
lord and the new tenant did not agree
with her attorneys views, and had.
in fact, had him thrown out when
he called to assist her.
The result of her preparations, she
said, was the suit in the municipal
court, threat to attach her antiques
and furnishings anG obstacles of all
sorts, including collins, which barred
her belongings from the elevator.

AMERICANS ABSORB
HAPSBURG ESTATE

PARIS, Sept. 13.-(By the Asso-
clated Press. )-Negotiat were
complete in Paris yesterday whereby
the vast estates of Archduke Fre>s-
erick of Austria, and his son, Arch
duke Albrecht, estimated to be worth
more than s2OO,OO0,OO0, were taken
over by an American syndicate,
which includes Charles H. Sabin, Jr.,
Leonard Replogle, Frank A. Munsey,
Thomas J. Fielder and other promi-
nent American business men. Sam
uel Untermyer, New York lawyer,
represented the syndicate in the ne
gotiations which have been in prog
ress for some time, and Archduke
Albrecht took part in behalf of him
self, his father, his wife, Isabel, and
his six sisters. DR.. Wilhelm Rossen-
burg, of Vienna, and DR.. Aurel En-
cry, of Budapest, were counsel for
the Hapsburgs.
The meeting here yesterday was
the last of a series of meetings dur
ing the past few months at Carlsbad,
- Kissingen, Vienna and Paris. The
and industrial holdings of the Haps-
burgs. distributed throughout Aus
tria. Czech-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Po-
land, Rumania and Italy. They in
clude the great steel works and mines
in Teschen, which are partly in
Czecho-Slovakia and partly in Po-
land. The estate comprises numer-
Gus other industries, including the
dairies which formally furnished
most of the Vienna supply of milk
and butter, sugar plantations, fac
tories, apartment houses, palaces and
other private properties in Vienna,
castles in various parts of the con-
tfnent, about 100000 acres of agri-
cultural and forest lands, scattered
over several countries, and the re-
markable Albertina museum in Wen
ma, which is said to contain nearly
1000 works of art. Archduke Fred
erick was field marshal and was
commander-in-chief of the Austro-
Hungarian armies in the war. His
great-father was a nephew of EN-
perior Francisco, and was accom-
panied by Duke Albrecht, of Sake
teschen, who married Archduchess
Marie Christina. daughter of Maria
Theressyl. Archduke Frederick is the
uncle of King Alfonso of Spain. His
sister was the Queen of Bavaria.
Thus considerable part of the prop
erty came from the Saxon house.
This is regarded as important by
the members of the American syndi-
cate because the properties they are
taking over were not part of the
possessions of Austrian crown, but
