CHICAGO, October 15.-The famous

The new lights, stretching from the
Chicago River south to Van Buren,

Chicago's most historic street.
Where once was swamp land and
where later board sidewalks stood

MILLION AND HALF BALES
INDICATED FOR GEORGIA

A cotton crop of 100000 bales is
still indicated for Georgia, as reports
from crop correspondents, covering
conditions, probable yields, ginnings,
ETC., on November 14th indicated
practically the same total prospects
as on November /. On the acreage
for harvest yield of 181 pounds per
acre is expected, compared with 155
pounds harvested in 1925 and 157
pounds in 1924. Production in 1925
was 1854, 900 bales, in 1924, 1904
900 bales; and in 1928, $4,000 bales.
Killing frosts and temperatures
we'll below freezing occurred during
the period, damaging late cotton in
the northern districts and increasing
the uncertainty surrounding the
amount of late, discolored cotton that
will be picked in that territory. The
final outturn in the northern and
northeastern districts will probably
fall below indications of one month
ago. However, the loss in the north
ern territory is Offset by more cotton
being found in the remainder of the
state in picking than was expected.
In the central and southern terri
tory picking is nearing completion.
The census report shows O4,178
bales of the Georgia crop ginned
prior to November IA, compared with
1,145,299 for 1925 and 918,790 for
1924.
The state average cost of picking
this years crop is 90c per hundred
pounds of seed cotton, or slightly
less than the 93c paid last year. The
average cost of picking for the Unit
ed States is Sill, compared with
S1.27 in 1925 and $1.25 in 1924
Among the important cotton produc-
ing states, the higher costs of pick
ing are $1.28 in Oklahoma, $1.2O in
Texas and S1.16 in Mississippi. The
lower costs are sc in South Car
olina, 9Oc in Georgia, $1.03 in North
Carolina and Alabama, $1.05 in Ten
nessee and $1.06 in Arkansas.
The indicated production for the
United States of 18,399,999 bales in
the report for November IA is great
er than the indication for November
by 481 900 bales. The indicated
crop in the important states is larg-
er than for November 1 in North Car
olina, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas,
Oklahoma and Arkansas; and less IN
South Carolina and Alabama; Geor-
gia and Tennessee remain the same.

The questions, Why does Georgia
wish capital? and What kind of capi-
tai does she wish? are as important
as the question, How may Georgia
attract capital? Perhaps more i'm
portant.
And before bedecking herself in
her most beguiling attire she should
first consider the objects capital
would serve. Some capital might ex-
plot her raw materials and impover-
ish her people; might pile up wealth
and reap heavier burdens on the
masses; might build great factories
and create more novels. Georgia can
not afford to lower her standards IN
order to attract dollars to our COM
monwealth in such fashion. Capital
that is worth while will not expect
her to do so. There is capital that
builds up and capital that eats out
life as a leech. The old maid, in
moment of despair, sighed Anyone,
Lord, lust so he is man." Surely
Georgia has not reached such point.
We are more anxious to draw men
with capital than capital only. Cap
ital that will promote industrial
peace, general prosperity, and the
common welfare of all Men with
vision, men of fair dealings, men to
whom the work is larger than the

Kingsland Wants 24

Waycross, Ga.-Application has
been made to the officers of the Ware
County Light & Power Co., Way
cross, by Emmett McElreath, mayor
of Kingsland, for a twenty-four hour
light and power service for Kings
land.
This would necessitate an extern
sion of the present line of the COM
pany.
Therefore, it is suggested that
Folkston, St. Marys and Kingsland
hold joint meeting and make joint
application for these extensions.
1t is believed that if these three ex-
tensions are made many smaller

dollar-that is what Georgia needs
and seeks to attract.
We have no idea of starting boom
or a bubble and by some magic ad-
vertising lure money to our state by
the millions with disappointment in
eyitable. We do not have to depend
on speculative enterprises or schemes
Georgia is capable of maintaining a
steady growth that will make possible
a continuous development, not only
feeding into our Golfers accumulative
dividends but drawing from the out
side a constant stream of money
seeking investment. In this way we
will be able to develop our aricultural,
commercial, financial and industrial
enterprises uniformly and this IN
turn will be mutually strengthening
and at the same time enable our
people to adjust themselves to the
new problems that naturally follow,
frequently becoming acute if one fac
tor outstrips the other.
In order to attract the desirable
capital, in order to provide for that
steady growth, what can we do!
OF course we can make known our
vast undeveloped resources; we can
tell the world of our wonderful eli
mate, and all that and we have been
doing so. We know that profits lie
hidden in our mountains and Sleep
ing in our valleys. These good It'd

unorganized textile industries, are
greatly worried over the problem of
the workers who, recruited from the
ranks of the illiterate foreign immi-
grant, has become an easy prey OF
the communist who is striving day
and night to destroy industry and or
ganized labor as well.
From this capital looks to Georgia.
Here is labor-conservative, ready
and willing to cooperate with capi-
tal-home loving-industrious men
and women-men and women who
are proud of their state and commu-
nity-.-who, if given fair treatment,
and a proper share in the industry,
will be not only most loyal workers
but partners, stabilizing influence.
Having trained and educated our
people, let us, within every bound of
reason, strive to encourage them to
stay in our state.
Georgia cannot get very far so
long as men of talent born on our
own soil are compelled to seek hos
pitable fields elsewhere. Soon the
list of industrial leaders, financial adj
visors, and one will find in every line
Georgia men, cast adrift by their
own state, standing at the very top.
Somehow or other we have a feeling
that Southern talent is not worth
very much, sort of inferiority COM
plex wherein we ascribe superior vir-
tues to genius originating in some
other section of the country, particu-
larly the east. By reason of such at
titude we have not only hampered
those of our own number but have
driven from our state men of industry
and ability.
Let us tell the world what we have.
Let us do what is right and proper
to attract the outside world. But let
US cease talking so much of our vast
undeveloped resources and start de-
veloping them ourselves. Let US en-
courage outsiders and offer to them
proper inducements but let us also
encourage capital put up by our own
men, guided by our own talent. Let
us stop waiting for "Co0"~o" to do
it but begin doing it ou~29lvcs.
What we really nccd j. not the
of capital but trained
leaders. We have the genius. Let
us train it. Let us encourage it to
stay in Georgia. Let it start devel-
oping our resources, snow their value
and the capital will be forthcoming.
We will not have to ask for it. 1t
will seek us. Thus we will not only
see the development and progress of
our state but will control that de-
and share the maximum
of it's fruits.

ings we have been spreading for
wears but do not seem to be getting
results as we think we should.
What more can we do?
We can attract capital to our state
by assuring to it a stable, safe, pro-
gressive state and local government.
It is all very well to talk of our in
viting climate and raw materials yet
untouched but the safest capital will
hesitate a moment when it learns OF
our political practices, partisan squab-
bles, sectional prejudices, etc, all
pyramided in a government either
disregarded or held up to irdlcuie 4;
either forbidding expansion or nam
pering growth. 1t is not so much
matter of high or low taxes but OF
honest administration of affairs. Five
wear exemptions for new industries
may help some but the real industry
is going to look considerably more
than five years ahead. In shorI' IL
Georgia is expecting lot of company
let her set her house in order for the
reception of that company. Let her
prepare to receive and assist in max
ing itself at home in her midst.
Georgia can attract capital by de-
veloping her human resources. Here
is her golden opportunity. 1t is not
merely matter of coincidence that
the five wealthiest states are the five
that spend the most on public edu-
cation, that the five porest are the
ones that stand at the bottom in ex-
penditures for that purpose. The

NEW YORK, Sept. %. = (AP) - The

against Harry M. Daugherty and

frauding the government of their best
services as attorney general and alient
property custodian, in permitting the
release in 1921 of $7,000,000 impounded
assets of the American Metal company.
AS soon as United States Attorney
Buckner announced that he had COM
pleted his case, Judge Mack excused
the jury for the day, adjounrning court
until tomorrow and then went into
conference in his chambers with at
torneys for both sides to discuss mo-
tions concerning the dismissal of the
trial and admissibility of much of the
governments evidence. If any of the
motions are created, announcement will
be made when court opens tomorrow.
The principal witness was Richard
Merton, the German metal magnate,
who came to- this country and gave
John r. King $441,0OO to "help and
speed" release of the S7,00O,OOO assets.

The planks include condemnation OF

fusal to accept governmental control OF
liquor traffic as a substitute for prohi-

"Referenda asking congress to dele

read "They are futile because con-
gress cannot delegate to states the
