fiLAMES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
W&nnaraaker Says Government Is Re
sponsible for Mattox's Death.
. J. Skottowe Wanuamaker, presi.
dent of the American Cotton Association
in resnonse to .1 telegram from
I tha Atlanta nnnnlltntlim n air I n if tli?
T effect of the suicide of R. W. Mattox,
president of the Georgia div.alon ol
the association ha* wired net paper
as follows:
The death of R. W. Mattox. president
of the Georgia division is a
shock to entire association and deeply
deplored. His suicide was caused from
untold worry and distress as a result
of abnormal conditions in one of the
saddest instances following fearful
^ conditions brought up as a result of
O . the removal of the Finance Corporat'on
throttled exports, stagnat.
~/' ed commerce and paralyzed agriculture.
The agricultural producers were
persistently urged to increase producv
tion, it being stated therr would be
enormous increased demand for ag'
ricultural products both at home and
abroad; that we were on the eve of
intense commercial activity and a new
civilization following the world war.
In a convention nttended by 3,000 delegates
representing agricultural and
commercial lines in 31 leading agri
cultural states held in September
1019, a petition was forwarded to the
president of the United States urging
the appointment of a credit board for
the handling of exports of American
ivrricultural products to Europe, sjm.
5i|\r to the board which has been suc'
i-ssfullv operating in England since
Wade *** ;4. We were assured that the EinBertha
of R. corp0ration would fulfill -all reitors
to DiUo. mentp. ,hnt it Was created aftei
'essation of hostilities and would
V?. . /"tion nnP "ear aTter thp ratificaut
Jf ' iKn Of the peace treaty,
town. was due to this assurance and
'the continued requests for increased
'production that agricultural prod
; -eis felt that they were absolutely
SSfr ^ \V V in redoubling their efforts to injjt?"
\tagW/,s" production: That it was not
"C^e?e<rson^W^v a safe, sound business proposi
Vjj out a patriotic duty to do so. Afs
r crops wore planted in tho spring
of 1921, the War Finance Corporation
was removed by order of the sec
retary of treasury. '
Realizing the fearful penalties that
wore being imposed upon agriculture
and commerce not only nationwide
but worldwide we have been concerntrating
every effort in our power tc
have the War Finance corporation
re-established and other remedial legislation
passed. I took the position
that the removal of the Finance Corporation
was in direct conflict with
the policy of congress; that it would
result in throttling exports, stagnating
commerce and paralizing agriculture
and that as a result of this it
would hrinp such distressing conditions
that it would promote suicide
insanity, bankruptcy and would bring
suffering to millions of innocent- neo
pie. It was due to the fact that w?
^ were convinced that this result would
^ follow that we have spent untold efy
fort and fniances for purpose of sc
M x curing: relief, of no avail. This proV
diction was again made by me in a
conference of representatives from
^ every line of agriculture in every ag
ricultural state of the union held
with the secretary of treasury in ear
ly part of the present fall in a desperate
effort to induce him to reinstate
'he War Finance Corporation.
This statement is being startlingl>
verified today. Millions will starve
and freeze to death in Europe foi
want of our products. "Millions arc
suffering in America on account oi
our inability to market these prod
uc(s, which we were urged to produce
into Europe. Under these condition'

Mary's Birthday Surprise.
i (By Maxine Watson.)
>| Once upon a tiine in a little town!
.named Bogsville lived a little girl;
, Mary, she was as sweet and kind a;
i J child as any child that lived in Bogs-1
- vjlle. One morning when Mrs. Lewis i
i was eating breakfast she leaned over i
. to Mr. Lewis and said: "Tomorrow is I
i little Mary's birthday and I haven't)
[ anything for her." "I will fix that all I
. j rignt," ne said, as he motioned to her I
to follow him, as soon as they had I
1 reached the steps, he said. "Martha

, Mary, Jennette's little daughter!

- and you are to arrange the rest. "My '
- dear Jack I did not think that you

ti The next morning Mrs. Lewis was
-1 up bright and early getting ready
I for the guests. Little Mary woke up
when she heard the sweet voice of her
- mother. "Get up dear, some one
- wants to see you." "Put on your little
middy suit." When Mary got j

had agreed to take the initiative ii

I Stressing the necessity for a shari
e reduction in acreage this year, tin
i- South Carolina division of the Amer

h statement in which it says:
n 'There are today about 19.000,
e 000 bales of American cotton or
,t hand, with consumption requirement!
y now indicated for less than than 10,
t 000,000 bales by August 1, 1921
>f With a prospective carry over of 9.
000,000 bales next year, the plant
e ing ol a normal acreage in cot tor

policy, not alone for the farmr
ers but for every business interest

lions and that is to reduce the co'to'i
.'acreage o n every farm so that not
? exceeding half of a crop or l.onn.-iOOO?hales
will b0 harvested in 10 21.
I "The American Cotton association
?! is waging an intensive campaign in
'every cotton growing county through jout
the belt to reduce the cotton
lacteage 50 per cent, by signed
1 pledges from farmers, bankers, tneri
chants, cotton factors and fertilizer
l dealers. The business inten is oi

tjniv daily signing up the pledges and
1 ate determined to cut their cotton
