cloth so much like woolen goods that it
requires the chemical test to tell the dif
ference. Cotton has done more to main
tain America's credit abroad and to keep
It on a sound financial basis than all
other commodities combined. The failure
of no one crop would so affect the world
as the failure of the cotton crop. Mu
llens of people would be thrown out of
employment and the millions more would
srl'fer and shiver in the cold.
I pon the cotton plant and Its snowy
offspring rests the financial structure of
this government. Destroy this crop for
one year and you will take out of cir
culation 1100,000,000 more money than the
entire national bank currency of the
1. nlted States. Destroy the cotton crop
for one year and you will paralyze the
financial institutions of our country. / in
the catalogue commodities cotton Is the
mi.Bter production, the most ready cashed
and the most widely consumed among the
great staples of the earth. Cotton Is the
only product in the kingdom of agricul
ture, every pound of which Is converted
Into money, and every dollars' worth of
which contributes to the financial wealth
of the United States. Cotton unlocks
foreign vaults and brings gold into our
country when all other products fan. It
brings to America every year more gold
than the world's annual output. A hun
died and forty-two million spindles looks
to the cotton belt of the United States
for their cotton supply.
Basis for Currency
“Mr. Chairman, as the rulers of ola
went to Solomon for wisdom the cotton
using countries of the earth must come
to us for the wherewith to be clothed.
In the light of these truths regarding cot
ton I declare to you that there Is no safer
or sounder basis on which to Issue cur
rency for a limited time than oil certifi
cates representing lint cotton baled and
stored In Insured or bonded warehouses.
No Insect pest can harm It. It can be
pteserved for 100 years and more, and Its
splendid fibre will be just as good for
spinning purposes as the day it was
stored in tile warehouse. Who can say
then that curenoy Issued on baled cot
ton at half Its value is not as good as
municipal bonds or railroad bonds on
which Secretary Cortelyou Issued cur
rency for the railroads. In the last days
of the confederacy our fathers In the
colon belt arranged with England to lake
$1.»,000.000 of bonds based purely and
wholly, singly and solely, on cotton. Mr.
< halrman. If England thought enough of
cotton to take $15,0co.noo worth of bonds In
time of wui, what should we thlr.k of this
prince of American products as a basis
(of half Its valuei on which to issue
limited currency In time of peace?
“Provide for the Issuance of limited
currency on cotton certiflactes and you
will deliver the cotton producers of the
south out of the clutches of the most
merciless band of bear gamblers that ever
cursed a free country. You will enable
our farmers to obtain a fair and reason
aide price for this great American prod
uct. It Is but fair and just that ware
house receipts of baled cotton be
treated by these reserved banks with
as much consideration as any other mer
chantable paper. It Is safe and sound
just and right that they should."

LOWER PEACHTREE
RELIEF COMMITTEE
MAKESFINAL REPORT
Over $16,000 Received By
Committee to Aid Toward
Sufferers Last Spring
ALABAMA RESPONDED
NOBLY TO THE CALL
In Addition to Actual Money Many
Donations of Clothing, Provisions,
Bedding and Furniture
Were Received
By HELEN SCHAMBURGER
Rower Peachtree, August 13.—(Special.)
Tile final report of the Rower Peachtree
Relief committee contains some interest
ing figures which are given in full be
low. This little village was practically
wiped off the map by a terrific tornado
which struck It last spring, leaving the
inhabitants homeless. without food,
'money, clothing and leaving them de
pendent upon the charitably inclined, who
responded nobly to the call of the stricken
community.
Received from the National Red Cross
association, together with the Alabama
branch of the association, and with other
subscriptions, quite a large sum was sub
scribed for the purpose of helping the
tornado sufferers the sum amounting to
JIG,481.05. The following is an extract from
the report of Colonel A. F. Flagler, corps
of engineers:
The adjutant general of the army,
Washington, D. C., inspection of Red
Cross accounts.
i learned that the committee had been
assisted in its operations by the sugges
tion and advice of Mr. W. M. McGrath,
represenattiVe of the Alabama branch of
the Red Cross, both before and after
the appropriations by that body. In ad
dition to these funds, the committee re
ceived large sums for relief work by d -
nations from Individuals, corporations,
societies, churches, etc. The amount of
the funds received, other than the Red
Cross, was stated In the accounts as
$10,708.65. The donations were carefully
listed by the committee, but their veri
fication by me was impossible in full:
The only evidence available to check
these donations were letters of transmit
ta1, all of which had been preserved, and
bajik statements of deposits made to the
committee, some supplemented by letters
of transmittal and some not. There were
also large numbers of donations made jy
cash or personal check handed to the
committee of which no evidence is avail
able except the mere notations by tne
committee of its receipt. I checked 119
of the letters and bank statements and
found only two discrepancies, both very
small and both to the disadvantage of the
committee.”
The discrepancy was a surplus of $472,
71 the difference in the donation list of
the committee and the hank statement
as shown by Colonel Flagler's report. He
so ys:
“I conclude that it ($472.71) could have
arisen only by failure to make note of
the many donations received immediately
aftei the disaster, when some confusion
existed., * * •
*‘i am convinced, however, from my in
vestigations that the gentlemen of 'he
committee have earnestly and honestly
performed their duties under very trying
circumstances. The larger surplus shows
a lack df care in the accounts, but I am
loathe to criticise it under the circum
stances.”
Final report Lower Peachtree Relief
committee follows;
Committee: Mr. J. W. Gibson, chair
man; W. S. Irby, member; W. L. Jeffrey,
treasurer; C. C. Hare, secretary.

Received from Alabama branch
Red Cross May 17, 1913 . 304
Received from individuals, corpora
tions, societies and churches $11,181.36
Total . $16,486.05
In addition to the above, donations of
clothing, provisions, bedding and furni
ture were received. Taken as a whole,
no letter nor bill came with these dona
tions, and during the confusion of the
first few days things wrere handed out at
once, no note being kept of w'hat came,
from where, nor how it was distributed;
hence, it is impossible to list accurately
and carefully these donations. Most of
the provisions (bread, meat, etc.) bedding
(mattresses), furniture (cots), came from
Mobile and Selina. Notice of the majority
of these donations appeared In the Mobile
Register and the Montgomery Advertiser.
Boxes of clothing came from all quar
ters of the state. In every case 'where a
letter followed or preceeded the box, ac
knowledgement Was made immediately.

SOOAUSI LEADER
OF GERMANY DEAD
August Ferdinand Bebel
Dies in Switzerland.
Was Well Known
Zurich, Switzerland, August 13.—August
Ferdinand Bebel, German socialist
leader, died here today 73 years old.
Berlin, August 13—The death at Zurich
of August Bebel, the German socialist
leader, will have little effect on the ac
tivities of his party. For several years
j he had been more a source cf inspira
; tion than the actual leader. His Infirmi
ties of late had prevented him from play
ing an active part in the imperial parlia
ment. $le was able to attend the party
convention last year at Chamnltz, but his
physicians prohibited him from partlei
patipg actively.
The executive committee of (lie socialist
party received at noon today after Bebel's
death a letter, in which he said: "The
devil is again at my throat. These phy
sicians say that J must retire.-" He had
intended, however, to attend party con
vention at Jena in ^September.
Bebel’s last appearance In parliament
was made as the final vote was taken on
the bills for financing the increase in the
j German armaments. He voted "yea’’
with the rest of the solialist members.
I lbs action was hotly criticised within the
party, but, Bebel favored this steps as
necessary to building up a liberal major
Death Regretted
In spite of the heated and <?ften viru
lent attacks on the existing order of
things made by Hebei, his death is gen
erally regretted by the newspapers, iwen
those opposed to him publish warm eulo
gies of his career The Volssische Zei
tung says:
"He was a deadly enemy of our society,
but an honorable character.”
The Tageblatt says:
“He was one of the most interesting
personalities, one of the most honorable
characters, and one of the most brilliant
and most temperamental pf the orators of
Gftfroany.”
The Local Anzeiger says:
“He was an unselfish champion of po
litical ideas, and sought to further to the
best of Ids powers the welfare of the
workers. Ills name will have a perma
nent place 1n the history of the German
empire.”
Hebei’s body is to be cremated at Zu
rich.
Hebei probably was the best known or
the modern socialist leaders. He joined
the- German labor movement in 1802. and
continued to struggle for the working
classes until his death.
Hebei was a member of the Imperial
Parliament almost continuously from its
formation in 1871. Not long after the first
session he was sentenced to two years
imprisonment for high treason and to
another nine months for JeH majeste.
German socialists regarded him as a
brilliant leader, and he was able to keep
the ranks of the party united at nearly
all times. Herr Hebei lived to see it rep
resented in the Imperial Parliament oy
o\er l'«) deputies and the strongest party
there.
Herr Bebel died from paralysis of tin
heart.

Layin’ By Time
Layin’ By Time is a happy time. It means more
than quitting work after the farmer has put his crop
in condition to mature for the harvest.
It means the end of long, hot days of labor, of
restless nights of worry, of doubt of weather condi
tions and of seasons.
It means the consciousness of good work well
done; the knowledge that the family is protected
against want, and that more than the bare necessi
ties of life has been eurned. I
