THINKS COTTON GOODS I WILL SOON BE HIGHER Financial Writer of Atlanta Georgian Say* Industry hat Struck Bottom and Predicts Rebound (By Victor Barron, Financial Editor of The Georgian.) The inevitable has happened. The cotton goods industry has, struck bottom and is on the rebound j to recovery. This cheering news came Monday when Atlanta wholesale dry goods merchants received announcement by the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, one of the oldest and largest manufacturers of colored cotton goods in the country, of an advance of 10 to 20 per cent in the price of various lines of 32-inch ginghams for the spring of 1922. The prices of staple ginghams for fall was: Staple ginghams, 12 cents; utility, 16 cents and A. F. C., 17 1-2 cents. The new prices, effective Mon day, are: Staple ginghams, 14 1-4 cents; utility ginghams 18 cents and A. F. C. ginghams 20 1-2 cents. The new prices represent an upward revision of 2 to 3 cents a yard. . Deliveries, are from November to April, and selection of styles must be made on a basis of not less than 25 per cent plains and stripes. Retailers in Atlanta have not been notified of the advance and when informed of the rise by The Georgian Monday morning, a leading White hall street merchant aeciarea mat V the advance was not surprising, because certain lines of cottons have been scarce and manufacturers have been holding production down. . "It's one of the surest signs that the cotton goods market has seen its worst and is now on its feet," he |> said. . "It will inspire a revival of heavy buying by both jobbers and retailers throughout the country and should y prove a stimulating factor in the cotton market for both future contracts and raw materials." Commenting on the advance, R. V DomKn nf TrtVin fiilvpr nnrl flnm.! pany said that nothing could have happened so certain to bring about a / resumption of buying and new confidence in the business world as the upward revision. "It shows that cotton goods have( ' _ passed the worst and now on the fv road to recovery. "The advance will send jobbers to market in droves for fall and spring purchases, as well as bring about a big revival of purchases by retailers. ^'Slocks throughout the country are low. Now that prices have turned upward, merchants can not afford to continue their hand to mouth policy, and consumers also will start buying again. f'j .. "We are in position to buy about $225,000 worth of material. Our uuvcia auuu win leave ivi luaizvcu H i Orders from our traveling men are beginning to increase, but this advance in ginghams will start business going at full tilt. "Other manufacturers will follow Amoskeag. "The silk industry was the first to collapse. It made its comeback a few months ago. Cotton was the next .0 break and now it is on an upward end. ~~"With the cotton crops small, big buying of goods inevitable, big exports in sight, all the country needs is a little more confidence, and we will see cotton improve in price. "It looks like cotton will bring 15 or 18 cents this fall, which will mean decidedly better business in all lines." / IT IS NOT EASY It. To apologize, To begin over, To "be unselfish, To take advice, To admit error, To face a sneer, , To be charitable. To keep on trying. To be considerate, To avoid mistakes, To endure success, To keep out ocf the rut, To think and then act, To forgive and forget, To make the 'best of little, To stfbdue an unruly temper, To maintain a high standard, To shoulder a deserved "blame, To recognize the silver lining, But it always pays. ?Ohio Educational Monthly. ? -J . . 60 YEARS OLD AND NEVER SAW MOVIES Columbia, July 28.?Within the city limits of Columbia there lives a man sixty-odd years old who has never ridden in an automobile and who has never seen a moving picture, but he will probably soon have his desires in these two regards satisfied. His name is Dan Murphy. He is a lifetimer in the state penitentiary. Col. A. K. Sanders, superintendent of the state penitentiary, told Dan Murphy yesterday that he would take him for a ride in his automobile some of these days soon and take him to a movie show. Of course Dan will fmvp fn b5+. hi>t.wepn Col. Sanders and a guard from the Bastile soldiery. A man with Dan's record could not be sent out as a trusty, but Col. Sanders says he believes it will do the old man good and will probably put a note of hop^ in the old breast that for almost thirty years has had all of its ambitions and likes, its memories and its hopes, confined to the area enclosed within the walls of the state prison. Dan is interested in the baseball games that are played on the diamond in- the penitentiary walls. He runs a little store at the prison, from which he sells nick nacks to the other prisoners for pennies. He has seen automobiles through the prison gates; he has heard them chug. He has read newspaper stories of mov ing pictures, but he can't imagine how the two wonderful things are possible or how they impress the senses. "Colonel, I never rode in one of them automobiles and I never seen a movie," the old prisoner said to the prison superintendent. "Well, Dan, I expect I can take you up town in my car soon and take yod to one of the moving piture shows." And the words of the colonel inspired the old man of the cage. Col. Sanders believes that the law of love is the best rule for prisoners. He hks worked wonders at the state prison and is one of the state's best officials. ?-r . - jLsau iTxui^xij was UUIIVU;LCU UI muxder and sentenced to hang, for the killing of County Treasurer Copes of Orangeburg, about thirty years ago. Governor Ellerbe commuted his sentence to life imprisonment. He escaped and enlisted in the United States cavalry, in the Philippines. Serving his term there he came back to the states and got in trouble in Georgia and landed on the gang. From there he was returned to Columbia and for the last quarter of a century he has slept, ate, and worked in the state prison. He is a workman in the chair factory. Dan insists to this day that he did not kill Mr. Copes. He says he was in Au-j gusta at that time, but his alleged alibi has never been proven. His record is not clear enough to allow him to see the movies except under heavily armed prison guards. . .
