GOT BUMPED" BY
COTTON AGAIN
OVER IN EVERY COT
TON STATE.

Atlanta, Ga.-lSpecial. 1--WE invit-
ed the present unsatisfactory cotton
price situation when we failed to take
notice OF the danger signals flying on
every hand at planting time last
spring." declared H, G. Hastings. wide
ly recognized agricultural authority
and President of the Georgia Associ-
alton, statewide development organ
ization with the avowed purpose OF
breaking up the slavery to cotton that
exists so largely in Georgia and other
cotton states.
ut looks as il our cotton farmers
enjoy having the very life bumped
out Of them ever SO often the way they
come back and invite humping every
period Of high priced cotton. It's q
mystery the way they keep coming
back for more punishment in the face
Of repeated bumps
Our farm folks, our country bank
ers, supply merchants, etc., must all
get it through their heads that the
rules of the cotton growing game are
changing. One-third to one-half bale
per acre is a money loser ON any price
that Is in sight. Low yields per acre
always means high cost per pound.
There is one answer, and one an
swer only to the cotton growing prob
lem, and that Is less acres in cot
ton and more cotton per acre AS the
yield per acre goes up, the cost of
making 1T per pound automatically
comes down. We can't have much
control over selling price, but we can
keep production costs down.
Less acres in cotton means more
acres available for food and grain
crops, cows, hogs and chickens. Cost
of making cotton is largely food and
grain cost, food for the family and
food for the working live stock. Corn,
oats, hay and forage for the mules,
horses, COWS, hogs and chickens;
meat, meal, fresh and canned vegeta-
bles and fruits for the family table
are made at half the cost or less OF
what is paid for same to merchants
or dealers.
HI almost every cotton growing
community there are one or more
farmers Sitting easy" right now The
secret of their easy posture is that
they own their cotton instead of owe
it for food or grain or borrowed
money. They are not pinched. They
have corn or other grain in the crib.
hay or forage a-plenty in stack or
barn, zaeat either in smokehouse OF
on hoof, milk and butter from the
cows and plenty Of chickens for reg
ular use, as we'll as when the preacher
comes around. Most Of if not all the
year round there are fresh vegetables
from the garden and home canned
goods from their own shelves instead
Of the merchants.
The safe way, the only way to make
you "sit easy in times like this is ia
Give at home and board at the Same
place."

GREAT PROGRESS Is MADE
ON STONE NIT. MEMORIAL

Monroe, Ga.-A gigantic blast
tearing away 100000 cubic feet OF
granite from the sheer side of Stone
Mountain Thursday afternoon was
the last of the large operations pre-
paratory to carving the figures OF
Jefferson Davis, Stonewall jackson
and Robert E. Lee, comprising the
first section of the central group.
A crowd of three thousand inter.
ested spectators stood waiting in a
drizzling rain, when there was deaf
ening report, great cloud of granite
dust three hundred feet in height
arose,a nd the huge mass of granite
crashed down from the mountain.
AS soon as the debris can be clear.
ed few minor blasts made upon the
outcropping lodges of rock, the work
of outlining the figures will begin,
estimated by the sculptor, Augustus
Lukeman, and the contractor to be
around the later part of January.
All friends of the great memorial
haven UGH cause for pride and salts
faction in the splendid progress that
is being made in the work,t hat all the
former obstacles have been cleared
away and that the contractor, the
sculptor and the association officials
are working together in the utmost
harmony and accord.
The contractor, the Stone Noun
tain Granite Co., is running three
months ahead of schedule, and the
sculptor, Augustus Lukeman, is three
months ahead of the contractor.
The new contractor began actual
drilling late in September, 1926, and
in the ensuing ninety days $4,000
cubic feet of granite had been re-
moved from the mountain at la
Dor cost Of two and half cents per
cubic foot.
The granite removed is equal to
forty solid train loads. The former
sculptor removed 10000 cubic feet
of granite in period of eighteen
months, at labor cost of fifty cents
per cubic foot. This contrast of ac-
complishment is both enlighting and
inspiring.
The association officials state that
they see their way clear to the financ-
ing of the first section of the central
group, and this group, alone, will pre-
sent che greatest monument that has
ever been attempted. Add to it the
of the mighty panorama
to adorn the mountain side and the
world will be presented a spectacle of
surprising splendor.

SOUTHEAST GROWING AT
A REMARKABLE GAIT

Atlanta, Ga.-The development on
the southeast is now on, and it is one
of the great epics in the industrial
history of America, according to W.
C. Woodall, editor of the Industrial
Index, business newspaper Of the
Southeast, published at; Columbus.
"Water powers are bling harnessed
so rapidly that it is only a question of
decade or so now before practi-
cally all this giant power will be
dutifully turning the wheels of indus
try," declared Mr. Woodall. "Fac-
tories are springing up on all sides,
to utilize the raw products produced
in this section in sush abundance
from field and mine. The South re-
mains an agricultural empire-it will
ALWAYS be that-but it also is becom-
ing rapidly an industrial section as
we'll, with a manufacturing invest
ment and output that grows by leaps
and bounds"
To agriculture in the Southeast is
coming that saving salt diversified
ton, Mr.. Woodall said, to which he
refers as a modification of raining
meehods both needed and desirable.
and which provides sure basis OF
rural prosperity.
"The South is building roads, real
roads, on a scale never before at
tempted and which few short years
ago was not even dreamed Of" stat
ed Mr.. Woodall. can enormous and
ord-breaking program of public
improvements on the part of states,
counties, cities and districts is now
in progress and will continue in full
swing. The great public utility cor
porations are in the midst of large
expenditures and expansions and are
committed to a continuation of this
program on an even larger scale.
Building has broken all records"

NO HALTING SEEN
IN SOUTH'S TRADE

Atlanta, Ga.-No hating in bust
ness and industry in the South is
apparent at the present time, accord
ing to business reports received in
Atlanta from all sections of the coun-
try.
Statements made by officials of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and
heads of other large financial insti-
buttons here voice the same optimism
that has characterized practically all
reports received.
Inasmuch as Governor M. B. Well
horn. of the Federal Reserve Bank
Of Atlanta, and other financial lead
ers always are exceedingly cautious
in their forecasts and conservative IN
their statements, the optimism shown
is highly encouraging, it was pointed
out in business circles.
The South is not only holding Its
Town in a business and industrial way
Atlanta business men assert, but it Is
advancing Substantially along al
lines,

Gentlemen of the Council:
.'sYou are called to this meeting
for purpose which purpose was
made plain in your written notice OF
this special meeting.
..'eWe have been Informed by COM
petent attorneys and it is undoubt-
edly the opinion of practically every
one that John L. Duvall ceased to
be, mayor of the city of Indianapolis
from and after the ate-that a jury
in the Marion Criminal Court re-
turned its verdict of guilty" against
him on Sept. %, 1927.
"Jn this event it is our duty, as the
common council of the city of Indi-
annapolis, acting under Sec. 1925
Burns, 1926, to choose one of the
members of the council to act as
temporary mayor for the next ten
or fifteen days, or until such a time
as the council can again meet in
special session and choose a perma-
nent mayor.
s.sIt is further advised by attorneys
that, from and after the verdict of
the jury in the Marion Criminal
Court, as before stated, the city of
indianapolis has been without a
mayor and also without a city con-
troller.
1--WE are all familiar with this sit
uation and it seems unnecessary and
useless to extensively debate or ar
que the matter, and I will therefore
now ask for nominations for tenn
porary mayor"
