What say you, fellow citizens?
THURSDAY SEPTEMBER in, 1914.
"Buy A Bale of Cotton."
On the first page of this week’s issue
of The People is published an account
of the “Buy a Bale of Cotton" move-
rfietit which originated in Georgia last
week. To our mind it is the best so
lution of the cotton problem so far ad
vanced, in that it is simple, speedy and
effective, accomplishing the desired
result without any fuss or feathers
whatever.
Briefly the idea is for every individu
al who has $40 to invest to buy a bale
of cotton at the prevailing market
price and take it entirely off the mar
ket for a year, or until the price agftin
advances to normal. It ran either be
stored at home, in the barn or under a
shed, or it can be warehoused.
Cotton is the money crop of the
South. 'It is going to spell ruin or
prosperity this year to thousands of
Southern farmers. What can be more
natural than for the people who are
dependent upon the farmers for their
livelihood to come to their assistance
and help “boost” the price of the
staple by retiring a few million bales
from the market? As we see it, it is
up to every merchant, every clerk in
his employ, every doctor, every
lawyer—in fact, every business and
professional man—to invest in at least
one bale.
The Senators of the United States
have already fromed a “Buy a Bale of
Cotton" Club. The commercial travel-
-lers of Georgia have issued a calf ta
their brothers of the grip to join in the
movement. But the thing that gives
promise of great popularity to the
movement is the fact that 71 individu
als of Augusta bought 71 bales of cot
ton Saturday without any organization
whatsoever. It was spontaneous.
The scheme is not a gamble; We
are not speculating in futures, no
more than does the man who invests
in a piece of Barnwell real estate with
the almost certain knowledge that it is
bound to enhance in value in one or
two years. Cotton isn’t perishable.
It will keep for years without any ap
preciable deterioration, provided, of
course, that it is properly housed.
Suppose 5,000,0J0 bales of cotton
were retired by means of this plan.
Japan is said to be in the market for
2,000,000 bales. That takes care of
about half of the 1914 crop. As soon
as the mills see that, in spite of the
European war and the bumper crop,
the available supply is going to be
curtailed, they will go into the market
and, by buying their supply, force the
price up.
When 5,000,000 people go into the
market and buy cotton an entirely new
•ource of demand has been opened up
and millions of dollars in cash money
has been turned loose in the country.
By cutting down next year’s acreage
and planting more corn, oats, peas,
wheat, etc., equilibrium will be re-
aitabliahedaad.thaee who have assist-
Buy Cotton Good*.
One way to help the farmers in get
ting a reasonable price for their cotton
is for every man, woman and child in
the South to consume all the cotton
goods possible during the next few
months. A number of the department
stores of Atlanta, Ga., have taken up
the idea and, with "Buy Cotton Goods”
as their slogan, are decorating their
show windows with goods made from
the fleecy staple which are not only
adapted for every-day use as wearing
apparel, but for household adornment.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
, “Cotton goods manufactured in Ger
many, France and England will be
displayed by that manufactured in
this country, showing the standards of
textile art so far reached by each.
“What we have achieved, and what
we still have to achieve, in cotton
manufacturing will be clearly set
forth.
“The purpose of the exhibit is not
to exclude the use of materials of wool,
flax, or silk, nor other forms of national
commercial activity, but to show clearly
practically, and as fully as possible, the
great-strength and breadth of cotton as
the product upon which the wbfld-at-
large is most dependent in the every
day need of clothing and household
furnishing.
“The display in the shop windows
can be made an inspiring object les
son, and will be in direct co-operation
with the women of the statp in their
campaign of helpfulness being waged
under the slogan, “Now Buy Cotton
Goods.”

“THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH,
YIELDING PLACE TO NEW.”
King Arthur sidly realized this truth when in passing
^away, he gave "utterance to the above thought. So _—j*—
in all kinds of business, banking included: the old way if
not adapted to modern progress must give place tonewer
methods. Keepirig money at home, subject to loss by
theft and fire, has for the most part passed away in Barn
well County by reason of modern facilities in banking.
MONEY IN BAtfK, CHECK BOOK IN POCKET
is the new order ndw practiced by jail who are really
progressive.
First, select the bank wisely, and if the acid test of capi
tal stock protection is used, you will choose this bank.
Then ask for the check book which we furnish without
cost to you. We want your business and heartily invite
you to maintain business relations with us.
