Maier & Berkele.
Representative J. Randolph Ander
son. of Chatham, has prepared, had
printed and distributed In the senate a
personal statement of Ms position on
ths bucket shop bllL In opening this
statement he says:
‘The Cotton Journal of August 2, fly
ing at Its mast hsad as one of Its
managers ths nams of s detected and
condemned ‘future’ speculator, mskss
vicious attacks on me, and both by
cartoon and by editorials seeks to hold
me up to public contempt and obloquy
as being the chief spokesman and de
fender of the ’gambler In futures.’
Every effort has been made to create
the Impression that ths motive and
object of my opposition to the ao-caltad
Boykin bill has been In order that some
form of gambling contraots msy\ be
permitted. I regret that ths chief
spokesmen for the Mil In the house has
allowed his seal os s partisan to carry
him so far as to make statements In
which he lends himself to the effort be
ing made to asperse my motives, ob
jects and Integrity of purpose. He has
submitted no proof for these state
ments and has nev,r attempted to se
riously debate and answer my argu
ments, but has contented himself by
Iterating and reiterating that I am only
endeavoring to abolish ths small gam
bler and that I seek to protect the big
gambler, and to permit some form of
gambling.”
Mr. Anderson asserts his earnest de
sire to prevent gambling of every
character, and’saya that his advocacy
of the substitute now In the senate Is
on ths ground that It goes much fur
ther to prevent speculation than ths
Boykin Mil.
He rfoes very fully -Into ths matter
and explains clearly and at length
every phase of the Issue. He states
that as conditions now exist that there
are only two concerns In* Georgia that
may Justly be termed legitimate ex
changes—one In Savannah and ths
other In Augusta.

Columbus, Oa., Aug. ».—Ths tax re
turns of Muscogee county show s gain
of 250,500 In real estate owned by ne
groes In ths county for ths year 1*00.
Quite s large number have purchased
homos during ths year. The number
of polls exceeds that of lost year by

The case Involving duty on the fa
mous Beads pearl necklace, which Is
the most valuable string of pearls In
America, Is to be fought to a finish In
the United States courts In New York.
The ‘ government Will Institute pro
ceedings In the United States circuit
court for the Southern district of New
York agdtnst M. Citroen, a French
dealer In Jewelry, who Imported the
necklace, for 1110,000 customs duty.
The necklace is In the possession of
the government officials In New York.
William B. Leads, the millionaire
Rock Island railway official, and his
wife are the persons who sought to
get the pearls Imported, having picked
them up In a Paris Jewelry house for
the modest sum of 1220,000.' Citroen
undertook to do the Importing.
The duty on pearls set as Jewelry Is
50 per cent, but oh unstrung pearls
the duty Is only 10 per cent. In the
belief that he could avoid paying the
larger amount, Citroen , took the neck
lace apart and brought ths pearls to
New York unstrung. Citroen paid a
duty of 222,000, or 10 per cent. Then
became known that an effort had
been made to evade the law and the
valuable pearls were seised and held
by the authorities.
Overtures for a settlement of the
esse have been made to the treasury
department and declined, and the suit
recover the 50 per cent duty Is to
pushed to s finish. Citroen has re
tained former Judge Alton B. Parker as
counsel to fight the government.
Citroen the other day advised Assist
ant Secretory Reynolds, of'the treas
ury, In charge of customs, that ho
world be glad to send the pearls back
to France. He Insisted, however, on
gutting back the 122,000 duty he had
paid. This the government would not
allow.
Jewelers all over the country are In
terested In the case, for If Citroen
wins his point all pearls and precious
stones In the future will be Imported
unstrung, subject only to the 10 per
cant duty.
