Demand for iron and steel products promises to be up to and perhaps in ex- cess of manufacturing capacity, Elbert H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, said tonight in dis cussing the business situation. Prices have been too low. It is hoped that they will will be high enough to allow all of the producers some profits, as published figures show many have been operating at a loss" Chairman Gary stated that he was also glad that em- ployers had not reduced wages during the past six months. although they would have been Justified in doing so." "I am hoping" he added, that the market for everything that is sold will not advance too rapidly nor to figures that are unreasonably high. It will be better for all business lines and for the country at large if we can have steady, progressive and reasonable vol ume of business at fair rates.

An Easv Inference.

In one year there were II murders in Lon
don and II hangings. The books OF justice
were evenly balanced. In Chicago last year
there were 270 murders and one hanging. On
the debit side of the book, so poorly kept in
the name of justice appears the number 10Y.
And Chicago is about one half the size OF
London.
1t is interesting and striking to observe,
through the employment of figures, the dis
torted proportions London, for the year ia
ken. had one-twenty- fourth as many murders
las Chicago. But twice as large, it might be
represented that London had no more than
one forty eighth as many homicides. On the
other hand, Chicago was able to obtain only
one eleventh the amount of justice that Lon
don had. Another way OF figuring it, consd-
ering the larger number of murders commit
ed in Chicago, that city appeared in justice
with London as l to 20.
1t ought to be easy to infer from this that
London enjoys low murder rate because it
imposes a 100 per cent penalty for that kind
Iof crime and that Chicago suffers an over
Iwhelming number of homcides as a result OF
its failure to inflict the proper punishment
If it is not true as represented it becomes
necessary to search for another explanation
Of the great difference in the amount OF muir
der done in the two cities If punishment for
murder does not deter, as some persons in
sist, it must be that the London people gen
orally are more law abiding, that the stand
ard of citizenship is higher and that Chicago
must suffer grevously in comparison
The suggestion that there is not a great
difference in the social arrangement OF the
two cities seems reasonable. Further, the be-
lief that persons of violent tendencies have
come to fear the strong arm of the law in
London and that those in Chicago fout it be
cause they can do so in safety appears to be
closer to the mark If there had been 27C
| hangings in Chicago last year and the books
OF justice had been exactly balanced it would
be good bet at any kind of odds that muir
ders in that city would be greatly reduced ii
number. On the other hand another RECORD
for this year is likely. London discourages
crime by exacting full justice; Chicago en-
courages it by letting criminals go free.

-Covipgton News
The price of cotton continues to decline.

new level for a short time and then end
the day by dropping several points lower
than before There is only one thing certain
the uncertainty of securing profitable
price for cotton next year
Cottons continued decline in price has
been pointed to as a warning to farmers not
to plant heavily OF the staple this year
il may be taken also as a warning to diver
sifv crops for if the farmers are to farm
something must be planted, and cotton has
proved its absolute inability to take complete
responsibility and guarantee anything like a
livable income
Among the crops that are coming on in
south Georgia and will help bear the respon-
sibility that cotton has proved unworthy OF
are peanuts, tobacco, asparagus, Strawberries
and pecans No one of these products, prob
ably, can entirely displace cotton as money

An Old Fashioned Sunday.
From the Moultrie Observer.

Remember Sunday morning not so many
years ago? Remember how the church bells
were ringing you put the last touches on
your Sunday shoe shine before reporting to
your mother for a final inspection? Down the
street then between your father and her,
nodding to friends and neighborS all bound
on the same errand. What a wholesome spir-
it OF unaffected Christian kindness was
abroad that day!
Then the old familiar hymns, in which all
the congregation joined so Justify, heartfelt
prayers and the readings from the Bible. Per-
haps the sermon seemed dull perhaps the
whole day appeared dull to you in contrast
with the joyous freedom OF Saturday-but
what wouldn't you give now to have such
days back again. to sit once again between
your father and mother i'll the old church
where they worshipped God with such sim
pie faith?
Since those days you may have drifted far
from the church In the ceaseless rush OF
modern life you may have given up the habit
Of regular church-gong. Perhaps you are
mot even giving your children that Christian
environment which belongs by right to ev-
cry American boy girl. But have you ever
stopped to think what you are missing, what
you are forcing your children to miss, by
such a course?
To that Christian atmosphere and environ
ment you owe most of the good in your own
character. To it. also, is due in large meas
ure the present greatness of America, for the
ideals and aspirations that have led our coun-
try forward are fundamentally Christian.
Why not make next Sunday an old-fash-
toned Sunday by going to your church-for
your church" means every church in this
city! Every one of them opens its doors to
you with Christian hospitality. Give the time
honored service an opportunity to reawaken
within you the spirit of peace friendliness
and self-sacrifce of an old-fashioned Sun
day. Observe the Lords day your father
and forefathers observed it before you.

Presidents and Their Names.

The New York Sun calls attention to "the
curious fact that three of the last eight pres
idents of the United States deliberately dropp-
ed the first of their baptismal names when
they came to manhood" that Stephen
Grover Cleveland became Grover Cleveland
Thomas Woodrow Wilson became Woodrow
Wilson and John Calvin Coolidge became
Calvin Coolidge"
The Sun suggests that apparently there
is something in the shorter, crisper form that
helps in the game of politics" The Sun
could have gone farther in calling atten-
ton to the presidents who had only one
name. OF 29 presidents there were 20 such,
the list being: George Washington, John
Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison,
Martin VanBuren, John Tyler, Zachary Tay-
Ter Willard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce James
Buchanan, Abraham Lincoln, Andrew John
