000 fertilizer plant, were two Important
matters engaging a meeting of several
hundred members of the Farmers’
Union in the senate chamber of the
state capitol Monday.
It was announced that the capital
stock of $100,000 for this fertilizer plant
had not only been subscribed but had
been paid Into the treasury. The point
at which this plant will be established
will be determined,wholly by the ques
tion of advantageous freight rates. In
dications are, however, that the big
factory will be located at Union City,
the new manufacturing town of, the
Farmers' Union, near Atlanta.
Immense beds ' of Tennessee phos
phate have already been purchased to
supply this* plant The plan is unique.
Bhares aro $10 each, and fertilizers
made at the union works will be sold
only to shareholders and on the basis
of one ton to each share. Capital Btock
Is not limjtefl to $100,000, but the scope
of the plant will be Increased as the
number of shareholders Increase.' It
Is said that fertilizers will be sold to

To Elect Officers.
Officers’ of* this new plant will be
elected Monday afternoon, but it Is said
that J. O. Eubapks. state business agent
of the Farmers* Union, will' probably
be solected as manager of the factory.
Work will. begin as. soon .as. the. site
Is selected.
J, L. Barron Is chairman of the com
mittee engaged In drafting by-laws for
the management of the fertilizer plant.
The meeting also went on record os
uncompromisingly In favor of main
taining the minimum of 15 cents for
cotton. Creditors, whether merchants
or banks, will be called on to accept
warehouse receipts of cotton held in
storage as a guarantee against the
debt, and when the request Is refused
it will result In withdrawal of the
patronage of the union members. The
resolution covering this point, which
was adopted. Is as follows:
8tand for 15-Csnt Cotton.
"Bo It resolved. That we, the mem
bers of the Farmers’ Unlop, put our
cotton In warehouses, or other places
that are insured, and take the receipts
of same to our creditors for their pro
tection, with a contract from said cred
itor* that th® cotton be held in same
houses subject to sale only at the min
imum price set by the union."
A motion was made, and adopted,
that when a member of the Farmers
Union tendered his cotton receipt to a
merchant or bank to secure his Indebt
edness. under the terms of the above
report, and It was refused, that such
refusal be reported to the local presi
dent, who must appoint a committee of
not less than two Influential members
to wait on such merchant or bank.
Should a refusal still be Insisted on
then the matter should be reported to
the president of the county union, who
must appoint a like committee to wait
on them and notify the merchant or
bank that unless they give the accom
modation requested no member of the
Farmers’ Union’ would patronize their
business In the future. It being under
stood that the minimum price fixed by
the union for cotton must bo main
tatned.

at the Second Baptist
R ' morning, an exhaustive
■course upon the present
situation in the financial world, which was
hoard by many of Atlanta s foremost busi
ness men. At least fifty of the leading
bankers, professional and business men who
are members of other churches went to the
Second Baptist Sunday to hear the sermou.
the subject of which had been announced
In The Georglau on Saturday.
I)r. White, who is not only a preacher of
eloquence and power but ft man of broad
views -and. a wide .knowledge of the prob
lems which face the public today, had
made n deep study of bis subject. Ills
discourse wns n strong nfiscal to the sound
Judgment of the public, and exhortation for
confidence In their country, for faith In the
prosperity of their city and state, and an
assurance that the flnnnce* of America are

by rumors from speculators.
py,. white took his text from Isnlnb, vil.
4: "Take heed and be quiet; fear not,
neither lie faint-hearted about the two
tails of these smoking firebrands
. The sermon In full follows: . .
Thus an ancient preacher-patriot exhorted
a king and his council. An unreasonable
fear bad-seised them, a .singularly foolish
fright, because not only did King Ansa have
with him his powerful Assyrian ally but
bis.enemies, were nlready practically anni
hilated. The war wns really over. "Resin
and RemeUah's ion," who had threatened
Jerusalem, were. In the language of Isaiah,
to be - Considered aa •"two smoking fire
brands." and only the "tails" or stump-ends
of firebrands at that. . ...
The prophet therefore addresses to the
panicky king and his council Just what
should be said to the j>eople In this country
and more particularly In the South, who
are talking "panic" and hard times "Take
unto you." he said, "the shield of fnltb,
you have lost your heads. Take n sensible
view of the facts. Bate your enmles st

must believe in Hod. Faith In Him is the

By THEODORE H. TILLER,
Washington, Nov. 18.—With tho
somber scene within the coujt room
where a woman Is being tried for her
life, In thorough accord with the dreary
downpour without, the trial of Mrs.
Anna M. Bradley, charged with the
murder of Senator Brown, whom she
admits she loved yet slew, was re
sumed this morning, the defense begin,
nlng the Introduction of testimony.
Two witnesses in particular offered
evidence today upon which the defense
will begin to build Its plea of Insanity.
These were Dr. E. W. Whitney, Mrs.
Bradley's physician, and Louts A. Mc
Mahon, a newspaper reporter.
T> •• I;t11• r lent <m|«-r t-» a session
which was otherwise almost uneventful
1 • • ■:i ! •• tbe court rn..m by
saying that at the time he saw Mrs,
Bradley the night of the ahontlnw "she
appeared to me to be a nervous, un
strung person on the brink of mental
and physical collapse and one whom It
would require only a puff of wind to
blow Into mental oblivion.**
Number of Witnesses.
The morning was consumed In the
examination of a number of newspaper
men, 8ergeant Lohman and Dr. Whit
ney. From some of them the attor
neys ’for the defense were able to ob
tain statements that they believed Mrs.
Bradley to be Irresponsible at the time
of the tragedy. Others described her
condition as nervous and unnatural,
but would not commit themselves to
the insanity belief.
Dr. E. W. Whitney was permitted to
testify only to such incidents connect
ed with his long treatment of Mrs.
Bradley as would show her physical
condition and was not allowed to go
Into detail concerning the character or
the causes for the treatment necessary,
Ic Is alleged, on account of some one
having performed criminal operations
upon her.
Portions of Dr. Whitney’s testimony
were technical, while large portions of
It is unprintable and of such a nature
that many women In the court room
hung their heads during Its recital.
Despite this, however, there were per*
haps a hundred women spectators In
the room, none of whom, with few ex
ceptions, left during the half hour Dr.
Whitney was upon the stand.
Improper Operations.
The testimony of Dr. Whitney Is In
troduced, evidently, for the purpose of
corroborating the story which Mrs.
Bradley only can tell, not only to the
effect that she Is rearing two children,
who, she says, owe their parentage to
the man she slew, but that upon three
•ther occasions became a near mother.

Washington, Nov. 18.—Joel Chandler
Harris (Uncle Remus) Is registered at
the Raleigh hotel and Is accompanied
on this, his second trip to the district,
by his son, Julian Harris, and Don
Marquis.
When seen by a representative of
The Georgian Mr. Harris stated that he
would be unable to discuss his visit at
any length because of the fact that he
had been unable to And a single piece
of real corn bread since his arrival
here.
"Without m> corn bread," said Mr.
Harris, "I feel entirely lost. I will say,
however, that any reports that the
president has asked me to «1in« with
him that he may have the opportunity
to score me for nature faking in my
stories of "Brer Rabbit" are untrue.
"When Mr. Roosevelt first began his
crusade against nature fakers I con

without any action having been taken
I feel sure that nothing will be done

••Yes; Arthur Brown Bradley. I next
treated her In November. 1001."
Dr. Whitney then described Mr*.
Bradley’s condition In detail, atatlng
that he treated her for two weeks, that
ah* had slight blood poisoning at the
time and some fever.
"When did you next treat Mrs. Brad,
ley ?*'
"On August 4. 1902. and again May

She Was Delirious.
Mr*. Bradley waa very delirious for
two or three day* Her temperature,
I believe, was 1021-2. During her
delirium she attempted to do many
things as persons will In this condition,
such as getting out of bed. Mrs. Brad
ley again had blood poisoning, her de
lirium being caused by tlu; blood pois
oning nnd consequent fever.
"Impure blood has the same effect

think that It affects the entire structure
of the body and the brain, especially of
the spleen and liver, which show va
rious signs of change* In structure
after such poisoned blood baa been fed

Atlanta hanks will bid for the new
government Panama bonjs and certlfl-
cates. The Lowry National Bank will
probably bid for 1300,000 Panama bonds
and the Fourth National Bank will ask
for 2200,000 In these bonds. Other local
banka probubly will take the same
step.
The decision of the government to
Issue $60,000,000 of Panama bonds and
1100.000. 000 of certificates bearing 3 per
cent Interest will relieve all the tension
and stringency In the money market In
this country, restore confidence and en
able the South to move It* cotton with
out trouble. „ . .
This Is the opinion of the bankers of
Atlanta, who are enthusiastic over the
timely action of the government, and
the feasible plan taken by the secretary
of the treasury and the president for
thla purpoae.
"While the sale of these bond* and
certificate* mean* much.” stated Asa
O. Candler, president of the Central
Bank and Trust Corporation, "thl* will
do no more good than the statement of
the president that all the bank* ara
solvent.
"During these stringent time* all the
bank* of the country, state and na
tional, have been subjected to the most
exacting scrutiny by state and national
official*. These official* state positively
that the banks were never in better
condition. The president state* that
all the banka are solvent.
“The plan adopted by the government
to Increase the circulation 1* a splen
did and a perfectly feasible one.”
It la the opinion of the bankers that
this step will aid the South particular
ly. The plan, as explained to a repre
sentative of The Oeorgtan. I* this:
The government lasue* 150,000.000 of
Panama canal bonds, which are a* good
aa treasury notes.
The national banks will bid for and
buy these bonds. To do ao. they must
give the government 260,000,000 of gold,
If they aell at par. and more If they
sell above par. The bRnka then, with
these bonds as security, may Issue
about 260,000.000 of bank notes.
This 260.000.000 of bank notes thus
put into circulation Is about the same
amount a* that paid the government
for the bond*. The government, on
the other hand, upon receiving the
260.000. 000 for the bonds, redepoalt*
this money In the banks.
What will help the Houth particular
ly Is that this money will be redeposlted
In the sections of the country where
It Is necessary to move the crop*, and
there sections, as the president states,
are the South and West.
In addition to th* Panama bonds, the
government proposes to Issue 2100,000.-
000 of one-year 3 per cent bearing cer
tificate*.
A person may buy these certificate*
from the gurcrnni' nt, and lie will be
paid 3 per cent Interest on them, anil
they will be payable within one year.
The government will then deposit the
proceed* In the banks throughout the
country, particularly the South and
We*t, nnd thus lncr,ea*o the circula
tion where It Is most needed to move
the crops.
Colonel It. J. Lowry, president of the
Lowry National Bank, stated that he
would probably advise the board of
directors of his bank at a meeting to
morrow to increase the circulation of
the bank from 2600,000 to 2800,000 by
buylug 2300,000 of the Panama bonds.
’’It Is a splendid arrangemant.” stat
ed Colonel Lowry, "and will do every
thing that was needed to restore ab
solute confidence In the situation."
Captain J. W. English, president of
the Fourth National Bank, stated that
he had not had time to study the plan
of the government fully.
"If, as It appears," he ntoted,
government proposes to Increase the
circulation throughout the country, and
the banks can break even at tt. I think
It Is a splendid one, nnd this bank may
bid for 2200,000 of th* Panama bonds."
Joseph A. McCord, of the Third Na
tional Bank, thinks the plan a splendid
me.
•It will relieve the situation won
derfully.” he stated. “It will increase
circulation, restore confidence, nnd It
puts the government solidly behind the
banks. In addition to adding the gov
ernment Indorsement to the banks. The
plan Is feasible and I look for no more
trouble.”
T. J. Peeples, cashier of the Maddox.
Rucker Banking Company, points out
the fact that the timely assistance of
the government has already steadied
the stock market, and that cotton has
gone up 21 a bale on the strength ot
the government's action.
George B. Donovan, of the First Na
tional Bank, states that his bank has
Just increased It* circulation 2100,000.
“The plan of the government," he
stated, “I* a good one, and It has al
ready helped the situation wonderfully."

THE,SOUTH AND WEST
Washington, D. C., Nov, 18,—Ot the
Ifsue of treasury certlllcte* In d*numl-
nutton* of 250 each, bearing 2 per cent
Interest, It I* predicted a large share
will go to the south and west. It was
sold today by a high treasury official
that 226,000.000 Increased circulation
In these sections would prove a great
lever toward the moving of the crop*
and It was added, this Is one of the
prise considerations In the minds nt tht
president and Secretary Cortelyou In
framing the relief measure.
Washington, D. C„ Nov. 18.—Ther#
Is something Inspiring In the sohem*
for relieving the financial stringency
which, as the result of three days of
conferences culminated late last night
In the announcement made by Secreta.
ry Cortelyou, coupled with an appeal
to the American people by President
Roosevelt.
A double-bRrreled plan for restoring
public confidence In which the Federal
government takes the lead. Involving
tho Issuance of treasury certificates
amounting to 3100,000.000 and the of
fering of Panama canal bonds amount
ing to 160,000,000 wns made public by
the secretary of the treasury last night.
With the announcement went word
to the country .from the president that
everything Is all right, that It Is th*
duty of everyone to get over hi* fear
anil resume business and that no man
who Is a patriot will longer hoard his
resources. The public Is expected to
Invest In the treasury certificates.
' which run a year and bear 3. par cent
| Interest.
Money Deposited in Banka.
This money when It reacnes the
treasury can bo deposited In the banka
arid then the government and not tho
hanks will be responslble to those mak
ing the loans.
In this way an object lesson tn confl.
dence tn the financial Institutions of the
j country Is given by Mr. Cortelyou. If
the public does not want all the tieaa-
ury certificates they can be taken by
the banks and used ns reserve.
The banks,aro expected to buy the
ronama canal bonds. The !nat laaue
of ttiese bonds was one of 130.000,000,
