Jno. F. Clark & Company’s
Cotton Letter
New York, Oct. 1.—Prices were
easier at the start on cables and
selling by Liverpool, hedge selling
and clear weather in the Atlantic to
gether with shorts, local selling for
a turn, but the contracts were taken
by the trade and shorts and - prices
rallied. New buying of a profes
sional character came in during the
afternoon, some of it apparently for
long account making the best prices
for the day and 45 up from the low.
National ginners and Watkins
made the crop about the same as
Jay, 12,'TOO,000. Exports were 191,
000 . •
The weekly weather was bad as
regarded the Carolinas and Georgia,
but pretty good elsewhere.
Much of the trading was local,
general outside business was light
and it looked somewhat as though
the public had decided to sit back
and await the government report
next week.

Center Hill Boy
Hit by Car and
Left on Highway
Atlanta, Oct. 1.—Hubert Smith, 19,
of Center Hill, is near death at
Grady Hospital as the result of in
juries received early Tuesday night,
when he was run down by a large
touring car which, according to wit
nesses, was speeding in Mayson
Turner road at a. rate of 70 miles
an hour.
Doctors hold out little hope for
Smith’s recovery, declaring that he
has a fractured skull and serious in
ternal injuries.
County police .are searching for
the car, which, witnesses say, struck
down young Smith without blowing
the horn or giving any warning
sound. The youth was hurtled into
the air and the car passed over his
body as he fell again to the pave
ment, witnesses told police.

Women Used as Shields for Red v
Troops on Georgia Mountain Sides
Trebizond, via Constantinople, Oct.
1.—The mountain sides of smiling
Georgia are literally weeping to
day with the blood of wives, daugh
ters and babies of the Georgian rev
olutionists.
In an epic battle raging more than
a week in the towering Caucasus
ranges in the province of Svanethie,
125 miles northeast of Batum, the
red armies are trying to crush Col.
Teholkavilis’ insurgent force of 20,
000 by using thousands of women
and children as shields at the head
and sides of their attacking columns.
The number of women and gfrls
who have perished from the prod
ding of bolshevik bayonets or by
falling by the wayside exhausted,
or from stray bullets from the revo
lutionists runs into many hundreds.
The heart rending retreat of Col
Tcholksehvliis’ forces into the al
most inaccessible dales of Mount
Elbrouz to escape firing upon their
own flesh and blood, and the pursuit
of the red army, which could plain
ly be seen in dragging and pushing
and bayonetting the owmen along,
is described in telegrams received
through an underground service of
the Georgian Independence commit
tee, and in Batum and Tiflis the
communist newspapers are smuggled
out of Georgia on the risk of instant
execution. The last telegram is
. . . , two days
ago and the last
newspaper four days ago.
The fate of between 2,000 and 3,
000 surviving women martyrs is
unknown.
