DENMARK BUICK CO DEltilARg, & C Man dreads especially the troke of nature’s power, realizing •> helplessness before it. At any 'oment our great sea coast cities ight be swept out of existence v a tidal wave. And man can no •ore prepare against it than the it can prepare his tiny city -ainst the gardener’s watering jot. Men have, learned to take dis aster philosophically, ami to find relief in effort. It was not so in other days. When “the great earthquake of Lisbon” wiped out thousands of l ; ves rnd destroyed n city, many lort their faith in God and in Eternal Justice, as others lost tholr liver and property. The earthquake and dreadful fire came on a holy day, whon the churches were parked with wor- shipperr.. Roofs of churches and cathe drals fell in, crushing great num bers, even as they knelt, implor ing Divine mercy The day has passed wnen a natural disaster could be made a convincing argument for shallow atheism. Men have iont much of their superstition, without loaing their faith in eternal wisdom and Justice. We know that nature’s laws work eternally and evenly, ami it is for man to rely on his intelli gence and science, not on protect ing miracles. Wonderful is resiliency in man or material. If you bounce up after you ore squeezed down, nothing can keep you down. . If. you stay flat when you are squeezed flat, you ddfi’t go far. Scientists are searching vainly for synthetic rubber. Its discovery would be worth billions to the world. Synthetic elasticity for the human mind and courage would be even more valuable. By the way, if any younq man can find a way to “reverse the Vulcanizing process of rubber,” making old rubber as good as new rubber, as old iron is made good as new, that young man will real ize the ambitions of millions, and get enough cash to make Paris and Palm Beach take notice. • . m .A A. Her Own as Cotton Center Financial Statement BNBiNG Large Volume of Staple Being Handled There Despite Weevil Depredations.—Can Handle 250,000 Bales in Bonded Warehouse*. BoD Augusta, Ga., Oct. 20.—The Au- gusta Cotton Exchange, which is the official organization of th£ bankers, dott<|v. factors, cotton buyers, cot ton exporters, cotton brokers and cot ton merchants in Augusta, is issuing a statement relative to Augusta as a cotton market. The fact that Au gusta has one firm that has been do ing business for 102 years without interruption and that there are several others that have been in busi ness frcir) 50 to 75 years is set forth strikingly illustrating the stability of Augusta cotton men and demonstrat ing their experience in this particular field of endeavor. For ilearly two centuries Augusta has been one. of the leading cotton markets of the world and it is re markable to note that in spite of de creased production and boll ...weevil depredations Augusta is still handling an immense volume of cotton. In tbe banner year for Georgia and South Carolina, when a little more than 4,000,000 bales of cotton were made in the two states, Augusta received 518,000 bales of cotton in one year, while during the past season, altho ugh Georgia &nd South Carolina made only aboout 2,000,000 bales, Augusta received 369,989 bales of ootton or at the ratio, compared with the former receipts, of approximately three-quar ters of a million bales annually. August a cotton men, bankers and other financial interests are giving every aid possible to the farmers un der present conditions. With ade quate facilities to store 250,000 bale* of cotton in bonded warehouses, equip ped with sprinkler system, giving the lowest rates of insurance, Augusta offers ample opportunities to the far mers and cotton men of the entire Augusta district to utilize the ad vantages of the market in every particular. Many tenders of liberal advances cn the most favorable terms have been made on cotton stored in the Augusta warehouses. FOP' RECEIPTS The fact that Augusta is in such proximity to Slouth Atlantic ports as to open the markets of the world and with the further advantage of the enormous number of South Carolina mills right at Augusta's door, to gether with local consumption amount ing to upward of 100,000 bales of cot ton every year, insures to the farmers the greatest possible returns for their cotton. In addition to this, the advantageous freight rates are en joyed by Augusta, the advantage of which are passed along td the grow ers in increased prices. The Augusta Cotton Exchange is standing back of the cotton business in Augusta as an organization that will insure the utmost benefits to the cotton grower and farmers of the Au- gust a territory and correspondence is invite^ by that organization and any bank or banker, cotton farmer or cot ton man in Augusta will be pleased to furnish full and detailed infor mation on any particular point de sired upon request, according to the statement of officials of. the institut ion. ' In addition to the other advantages offered by August a is the fact that resident buyers representing the lar gest cotton buyers firms in all parts of the world are located in Augusta permanently, being residents of the city. They are interested in giving the city the greatest benefits possible to accrue from a big cotton market center and in this way the farmers and cotton men of Augusta territoiy can share to the full extent in these advantages.
