E. Walker, cotton planter and merchant of Millstead, Ala., has quietly put into operation a plan which, if gene raily^udopted throughout the South, would greatly increase the consumption of cottoq. As a farmer, Mr. Walker is directly and vitally interested in the price of cotton. As a dealer in general merchandise, Mr. Walker buys and sells fertiliser and food stuffs put up in cloth sacks. The Southern Cultivator explained Mr. Walker's plan as follows: "This spring an agent came to sell him guano. He said all right, I'll tuke it if you will ship it to me in cotton hags. The agent said he could not do so. Mr. Walker replied, then you cannot ship me the fertilizer. I he company decided to get the cotton bags and finally shipped him the. guano. So with a drummer selling the mixed sweet feed. Mr. Walker told him he would buy five tons if put up in cotton bags. Finally this was also received." Note that Mr. Walker's order for the mixed sweet feed was for only five tons; yet this was enough to impose its own condition. Mr. Walker's J)lan is susceptible of far wider application than that in the above instance. Every farmer and every merchant in the South is directly and powerfully affected by the price of cotton. If every one of them would refuse to buy goods put' up in other than cotton bags when cotton bags would serve the purpose, a larger market would be opened and a better price paid for the South's great cash crop. Without doubt, a little thought would reveal other applications for the same idea.?Manufacturer's Record. Nine Members of Mob Sentenced Douglas, Ga., Nov. 18.?Nine members of* a mob that removed Df^ve White, a white man, from the jail here last August and lynched him, have pleaded guilty to murder and drawn sentences of from four years to life imprisonment. Thus in less than 9 days the courts have all but closed the case that revolved around the only recorded lynching in Georgia in 1926, and imposed a life sentence for participation in mob violence for the first time in- the state's history. Major Brown, a white man, and brother-in-law of the woman for whose life Wright was held, pleaded guilty to murder yesterday after only fou/ jurors had been selected In a trial called for 13 suspected of being members of the mob. Robert Bullard, one of the defendants, turned state's evidence and was kept away' from the court. Pleas of guilty were then arranged for eight other defendants and the court imposed sentence.^ varying from four to twenty years. - * 1 ' .1 I ' Traveler Died, at Elgin. J. B.
