this matter up and have a high fence

Farmer* Holding Cotton.
There are uearly 100.000 bale* of
cotton In Augusta In the hands of
the cotton factors, there being about
pft.OOO l>a lea of the staple which are
held uuhoUI, while there are between
<10,000 and 86,000 bales that have been
sold to o)(|H>rters ami other buyers.
The question, whlcli Interesta all
cotton men is In regard to what Is
the future of the more than lift, 000
hales of unsold cotton. Are the own
ers of this cotton, holding if for 2ft
cents and if not what are they hold
ing it for? Many cotton men tie
lieve that the market will reach 2ft
cents, but on the other hand many
others are fearful of a considerable
break before It reaches that figure
Cotton men all say they know noth
ing about the market and the expe
rience of years in the cotton business
is worth nothing in the face of such
unprecedented and unparalleled rises
In the market. Bve.ry one thoftght i
lft cents \\;?s a good price. Then IK
cents seemed a fancy prlco and many'
believed that the market would never
quite reach 20 ^ cents. It was also
prod Iced that if cotton did reach 20
cents there would be. hundreds of
thousands of bains y.old l,i the South.
However '20 (.rents time and rlu own
ers of cotton still refused to soil In
large quantities.
As stated, the ^ question which in
terests .cotton men Is what ure the
owners of cotton holding, for? An
KUsta is not- alone In holding cotton
for it is being held everywhere through
out. the South and should the market
reach the dazzling heights of 2ft cents
per pound. Is It jKwslble that people
who own cotton will decide that a
quarter of a dollar a pound Is not
enough and hold for .'10 cents? It is
evident that they think they get a
better price than 20 cents else they
would sell at that llgure.? Augusta

The announcement that the Secre
tary of State has issued a commis
sion to the Anderson Motor Company
of this city, with a capital stock of
one and half million dollars, will
doubtless eo^Ue as a v**ry tm?aV sur- 1

fact, many tolks here ha'l .. CCUiClJItL
oil. we tTiTulc. that it would be a
matter of time before this company
would move elsewhere in order to se
cure money fb do business on ; but
through the Influence of sumo influ
ential men of Mock 1 1 i 1 1 and t he ev
erlasting grit and ambition of John <!.
Anderson to put tills thlna,' over, it
how* looks as though it Is golnir to do
ssomet'hlug that was hardly dreamed
of. much le^s taken seriously as n
business proposition. The plant. If

Coney Island's Start.
The th-st man to realize the great
possibilitk -i of Coney island uh a sum
mer resul t was Austin Corbin, h bank
or and railway otlk-ial. I-'roin the be
gluing <>f I hi' Inst eeutury the beach
at Coney Island was rre<iuente<l by
many New Yorkers, hut li remained
for Corbln to initiate the movement
which has made "Coney" a synonym
for a certain kind of amusement. Cor
bin started his financial career at Dav
enport. ia.. but in 18flT? he opened a
banking house in New York, and in
187.'! he purchased the eastern part of
Coney Island. There he created the
great resort known as Manhattan
1 Beach. He also became president of
the Long Island railroad and played a
big part In the development of all the
summer resorts on I.ong Island. In
the last forty years Coney island has
become the greatest popular summer
resort in the world, and In addition to
the millions of transient visitors from
the city who go there for the day
many thousands are regular summer
residents of the hotels and cottages
which line Its shores'. ? New York

many offers of money J hat did not
agree with his literary conscience il?

enough. lie declined $1(X000 a year

The other week a circus arrived In
a certain town, not a hundred miles
from London, at an^early hour, after
a long journey and a performance the
prevluua night. Ah a consequence few
of the company got any sleep. That
day there was the usual procesalon and
the afternoon performance. The Hon
tnmcr had had u very rough time be
cause of the 1 1 1 Mess of one of his
beasts.'
The evening performance arrived,
and the {nan had to pretend to go to
sleep with hi* head ou tho body of a
couchant Hon, finishing up the per
formance hy springing up and put
ting his head in another lion's mouth.
But when the Jumplng-up time came
a gentle snore was heard. The man

where us muny as aro able to disom

that the trips will be useful aids to the
restoration of health. Money has lit

This Really Happened.
Not ono woman in a dozen.. will be
lieve this story, although It is true.
lOvery other week Bill Smith can prove
it hy rolling up his left pants' leg. The
alternate week the proof is In the
laundry basket.
Hill works In a shop where a man
must have forearms. He has solved
the underwear-sleeve problem by hav
ing them nil off above the elbow.
The other day he bought new union
suits. and showed Mrs. Smith on one
nriu how much he wanted cut off. The
nest Sunday- morning tie- donned the
suit and found she had cut off tho
rlgh( arm and left leg. He apprised
Mrs. Smith, but she retorted such a
blunder was "Impossible.*
But Bill had the proof, nnd he still |
has it ; fo>r on the union suit there is a
seam around the left leg just below
the knee, where the cut-off has been
put back.
Bill says : "As we sew we rip, and
If we snip, inadvisedly, it's best to sew
It on again."
Once-Overs.
The wife who is plainly dressed and
does not have the luxuries you -en
joy is not necessarily unhappy, and
she may be getting much more out of
life than yon are getting.
It may be tbat she and her husband
are laying up money for their old
age, while you and your husband ure
spending ail you earn.
When the time comes that you
should be taking comfort and be free
from worry, you may find yourself
worried because of your scanty sav
ings, while the woman you pity to
day mar then be secure in the
thought that she has enbugh to sup
port her to the end of her days.
So do not waste your pity on the
woman \pho Is so plainly dressed.
She may have more sense, than you
at the present time and more com
fort In th% years to come.

BUCHAREST HAS FALLEN.
Koumaniaii Capital and Large Number
of Prisoners to Teutons.
The brief dispatches in which the
fall of Bucharest was announced left
in doubt the fate of the Roumanian
armies resisting the advance^ of the
Teutonic armies, but today's German
ofliclal statement, which reports the de
feated Houmanians 'retreating on all
fronts, indicates most of thom escaped
capture.. Berlin says, however, that
JUHX) Roumanians were taken In yes
terday's fighting.
It has been assumed in most entente
quarters that there was no Mast stand"
by the Houmanians before their capital
and such news as has trickled through
from German, sources indicates that
Bucharest was virtually deserted when
the Teutonic forces entered it.
The city is said to have been found
uninjured.
Military commentators in entente
capitals point to the probability that
the actions just prior to tho capture of
T'UCluiresf were fought, merely with a
view to delaying the advance of Field
.Martial von Mackensen's forces and aid
Ins: the main body .of the Houmanians.
German opinion is expressed to the
effect that the Houmanians have de
cided to abandon all of Wallaehia. the
main portion of the Roumanian king
dom. and retire to Moldavia, their
northeastern province, where their
front would lie materially shortened
and where they would be In close touch
with the Russians,
The total captures of_ Roumanians
by the rorces. of the central powers are
reported to have been 100.0(H) men.
