w
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23.?A joint pro 2Iamation
signed by the governors of
eiglit cotton States urging farmers,
merchants, bankers and business men
i to organize and hold cotton for not
less than 35 cents a poud. middling \
liasis, was issued here tonight through !
J. J. Brown, president of the "'Cotton j(
rnl--j 9 a lw?y
stales uiuucii Au?isu*jf ji<n
Board. The proclamation, an indorse- ;
ment of the recommendations made by .
the board here November 7, termed
such a price "equal to the cost of pro- '
auction plus a fair profit/' i1
"The recent heavy break in cotton
prices," the proclamation said, "is !
wholly unjustified by existisg condi-1
tinns and the great disthrbance inci
dent to the break in the niarket has 1
temporarily paralyzed the a?rricultm^l 1
and business interests of the South 1
and entailed heavy loss to the cotton j5
producer by reason of the price being 1
below the cost of production." j'
Selling of cotton for 35 cents was
advocated only "to meet pressing ob- j'
ligations," and borrowing on cotton j1
( rather than selling it was urged. j1
- - Vi _ j ' i
[ Federal reserve DanKs were caiieu ,
j upon to '*be just as liberal as con- 5
distent with good business in redis- 1
-counting notes secured by cotton." i
The necessity for the South produc- j]
mg more food for men and animals
was stressed in another part of the j
proclamation, which urged smaller
cotton acreage next year and more
planting of feed and food stuffs. | <
The proclamation, signed by the j
Tovoo n?nPoi9 i
&V?CIUWi? vt ^ ?,
Carolina, Arkansas. North Carolina.
Mississippi, Alabama and Florid?,
urged that county and school districts t
in #?ach State be organized. J
The advisory board added a state- <
inent saying the bears is the market <
"are trying to frieghten" the Southern *
cotton holders, declaring that "federal <
fixing of cotton prices is dead," and 1
concluding: "Hold your nerve?act as
your sons did at the front in France? 1
tell the pirates they shall not pass." <

i
Much of tue anxiety wnicn naa oeen. j
felt at the slowness with which re-j
port from the casualty list of the last j
fighting over there is being relieved j
as mail is now beginning to come j
though most of it is dated in October j
Since writing the introduction to
the letters from tlie Bullock boys we
have had a letter from our boy and
several others have received letters ofj
later date. The latest date that we
have seen is from Duane Livingston
to his mother dated October 25. He j
mentions in that the death of Be j
Foik who was killed in battle. He
also states that his company in which
are several Xewlerry boys, among
them .Iech Chappell, "was in line for
13 davs and then came out for a two 1
days' rest, and then back for a week, j
bi!t we are out now for 4 or 5 weeks.
We oniv have r>3 men in the company
now, "is killed and the rest wounded." (
That Deing the case the rest of the
\'f>iv.'iprrv hnv? in this romnnnv arr?
nrooably not killed because it is al~ *
mosi certain if any had been killed
be would have mentioned it and the 1
time he says they are out for a rest
^vill take them beyond the signing of
the armistice. Of Ben Folk's death '
he says, "I know Bennie d;ed a sweet
death. He did not know what hit him.
A piece of shrapnel hit him in the
head and it was all over." Duana
adds: "He was buried w*th the other '
Americans and with high honor."
There comes also more sad news.
<
It is but natural and we sympathiz3
with those who have lost loved ones ,
but it could not be helped. .
Mr. Tucker Livingston of the >Jollystreet
section received a telegram last
week that his son Jahn R. Livingston
had been killed in battle. He was ?n |'
