COUNTY'S TOTAL
MORE THAN 25O
More Than 200 Farmers and Bus
mess Men at Cotton Meet
ing on Tuesday.
ELMoRE DELIVERS ADDRESS
Says That Farmers Only Hope Is
Cooperative Selling In Dealing 4
With Organized Buyers.

The big mass meeting under the
auspices of the Cobb county branch
of the Georgia Cotton Growers Coop
erative Association held at the court
house here last Tuesday brought a
crowd of fully two hundred farmers
and a few business men and result
ed. in contracts being given for APP
proximately 100 bales of cotton for
the coming season, thereby bringing
the county's total to more than $50
bales. The meeting was ably address
sed by state director A. A. Elmore.
who delivered the principal speech
owing to the inability of President
Barret, of the Farmers Union to
be present.
1t is seldom that more forcefuI,
logical. and entertaining address has
been heard in the city. Mr. Elmore
spoke for about an hour and held the
close attention of his audience thru
out. He pointed out the fact that this
is an age of cooperation and organi-
cation. That all the business forces
of the country are organized, inciu-
ding the buyers of all farm produce.
and that the reason the farmers re-
ceived so small a price for their pro-
ducts was due to the fact that thew
deal individually in selling with or
ganized buyers. He stated that cot
ton prices were not regulated in the
South where cotton was produced but
in New York where it was bought and
where the buyers were organized.
He said that the farmer dealing
individually with the gamblers in cot
ton had as much chance of coming
out the winner as an American sol
der would have single-handed against
the whole German army.
He showed the wonderful results
gained by organized labor the coun-
try over thru cooperative selling Of
their labor. He pointed out that in
joining union the individual laberer
gave up his individual right to agree
on wages, conditions, ETC., with his
employer. These things were deter
mined by the organization to which he
belonged and the benefits gained
more than made up for the one sac
rifce.
The only difference, he said, be-
tween the wage worker and the far
mer lay in the fact that one sold his
wages direct to an employer by the
hour, day, or week, and that the far
mer sold his labor by the yaer to the
spectators in the shape of cotton
and other farm produce. zone gets
his wages by the week, +" he said, land
the other gets his wages by the year"
He submitted to the farmers the
statement that the buyers of farm
products were in constant economic
conflict with the producers, inasmueh

GINNERS CONSIDER
LOWER GIN RATE
Ginners of County Take Steps to
Form Permanent Organization
Prices Be Decided Sept 7.

About a dozen Cobb county GIN
ners, who seemed to be thoroly rep
resantative of the county, met in the
court house here Wednesday after
noon for the purpose of organizing
the ginners of the county and to dis
cuss prices and other matters for the
coming season
1t seemed to be the sentiment of
the meeting that the ginners of the
county must organize for the purpose
of establishing prices and other mat
tiers. To this end it was decided to
that those present would interview
in person as many as possible before
the next meeting and also to have
the chairman of the meeting send
written invitations to every ginner in
this county and the near surrounding
territory to jon with them at the next
meeting.
Much dissatisfaction seems to. ex-
list in many quarters among the cot
ton growers of the county in regard
to prices and in regard to this the
ginners seemed to think that some re-
visions of prizes were necessary. just
what prices would be put int defect,
it was unanimously agreed, iould not
be fairly determined upon at this sea-
son of the year, and it was decided to
have the next meeting the first We'd
nesda yin September, in the court
house at p. M, for the purpose of
settling upon fair price in accord
ance with the conditions prevailing at
that time, which would be almost at
the opening of the cotton season for
this section.
Many of the ginners stated that
high losses had been undergone in
ginning last year OWN gto outstand-
ing accounts. Some stated that they
had as much as 100000 on their
books uncollected for ginning last
year. They all agreed that ginning
this year must be placed upon pay
basis at the time of aiming, either in
csh or toll as the payment might be
agreed upon.

RIvIERE'S STORE BURGLARIZED

Last night, Thursday, sometime be-
tween the hours of IL and 1, the jew
elry store of Mr.. George Riviere, Jr.
was broken into, and jewelry to the
approximate value of $500 was taken
out.
The show window on the left hand
side was broken through with brick
and through this opening all the val
tables in reach were taken. The bur-
glar they proceeded to the side glass
and broke this with another brick
and then finished his work, leaving
nothing in the window.
The Parish blood hounds were put
on the trail, and traced the robber to
the lot at the back end of Church AL
ley, where it was evident that the
man had stopped, emptied his haul in
to buggy, leaving the original boxes
on the ground, and had driven off.
Sheriff Landry has a pretty good
clue, that may lead to the capture OF
the culprits, but as they had a sever
al hours start, it may be that they
have gotten entirely away.
Fortunately. so we are informed,
not one piece + jewelry that was in
the store for repairs, was molested,
SO none Of the patrons of Riviere's
need worry on this account.

Your interest is simply this: that
whatever decision is made you will
have to pay the bill. If today we
didn't have these army and navy ex-
penses you would have to pay in tax
es less than $1,OOO,OO0,O0O a year in
stead of $4,000, 100000. That means
we would have about $4,000,000,00O
more year to spend on our private
needs and pleasures. l frankly con
TESS that I would enjoy having four
fifths of my taxes knocked off. Would
mt you?
Secretary Weeks of the War de-
partment gave public warning lit
tie while ago that the government
would require Of us about $17,000,-
100000 in the next thirty months to
meet current expenses and other OBJ
legations. Persons who have given
close study to that possibility say
that the need will be nearer 100000.
100000, than $17,O0O,OOO,OOO. The
great bulk of that is for past anc
prospective war expenditures.
For this, you and congress and the
Executive departments at Washing
ton are responsible. You more thar
anybody else, for it is your money
that is being spent and you can sto,
it. In its simplest terms the pro
cedure is this: You earn the money
congress takes it away from you j,
the form of taxes, and then congress
and the Executive departments spent
it.
A great part Of it is wasted. Thi;
is established, conceded, confessed
and acknowledged by congress, which
authorizes the expenditures, and b!
the executive officers of the govern
ment, who do the actual spending. L
is your money that you have earned

IRISH PEACE FARLEY IS NEAR
COLLAPSE.

DISPATCHES from London Thursday
are to the effect that there IS great
danger of resumption of hostllitles
and bloodshed in Ireland over the Que
stion Of independence. The peace nego
tiations having practically collapsed
The Sim Fem has stood firm on ITS
demand for all-Irish parliament as
the basis of settlement, at the same
time refusing to concede allegiance t.
the British Crown. Ulster has re
fused to scrap her own parliament
"under present conditions" on the
ground that she will come directly
under the control of the numerically
superior South Ireland.
The latest plan, that for an all-lr-
ish parliament, under which Ulster
might retain her existing rights I'M
til. or unless she changed her mind
has failed with the formal statement
bv the Sim Fem delegation here
that such proposition cannot be con
sidered.
AS a result, in both government
and Irish circles, the opinion IS eXpr
| essed, that nothing short of a mira
Gle can avert collapse of the nego
tiations and resumption of the war
| fare in Ireland.
The British government heads arc
bending their entire efforts to seek
ing some unexplored avenue of nego
tiation, but it is believed all possibil
tiles of settlement have been exhaus
ted during the lengthy parleys which
seem now to have about ended and t
have availed nothing.
