ANOTHER INJUSTICE
DONE CANDIDATE GUERRY
(Copy.
To the Editor of The Journal:
A wired of the fairness of The Journal
St all times, we wish to correct your cor
respondent's account of Mr. Guerry's
speech at this place, which report appear
ed in Monday's Journal. Your reporter
did not hear Mr. Guerry's speech, hence
his error. It was reported that only a
amah audience was present to hear his
speech. The Statesboro News, an Estill
paper, tn its issue of today, contains the
following item:
CORRECTION.
"The report in The Atlanta Journal of
Monday does Mr. Guerry an injustice. It
says that he had only a small crowd out
to hear him speak at Statesboro on Sat
urday.
“This is not the truth of the case. The
courthouse was filled to its full capacity,
every seat was taken and the aisles were
well filled, while the crowd consisted of
many who were not voters, yet the crowd
was much larger than his most ardent
supporters could haw hoped to have seen
on such short notice and under such a
state of the weather as existed on Sat
urday." I
It was further reported that Mr. Guer
ry need certain unkind and discourteous
remarks about Mr. Estill. This is not
true. On the contrary. Mr. Guerry’s
speech was high toned and courteous
throughout, with not a single allusion to
Mr. Estill that could have offended his
staunchest friend. Every reference to Mr.
Estfil was in the kindest and highest
terma Even Mr. twill's friends here are
surprised that Mr. Guerry should have
been so misrepresented. At one point of
his speech. Mr. Guerry. addressing the Es
tih men in audience said, in sub
stance. "If you conscientiously believe
that Mr. Estill is the proper* man for
the governorship, then vote for him,
whether he gets another vote or not.”
Mr. Guerry's visit here made him a large
number of friends.

DI) iWHM
EftRLY PRIMARY
IN GEORGIA
NO PLANS YET MADE, HOWEVER,
AND NO DATE HAS BEEN FIXED
FOR THE MEETING OF THE
z COMMITTEE.
Fleming G. dußignon, of Savannah,
chairman of the state Democratic execu
tive committee, was here Friday attend
ing the meeting of the Georgia railroad
commission. Mr. dußignon says he has
not yet fixed a date for the meeting of
the executive committee, but that he is
now in correspondence with the members
of the committee in order to obtain their
views as to the best time to hold the
meeting.
Several members have written him, and
according to Mr. dußignon they favor
holding the meeting about the Ist of April
or during the latter part of March. Mr.
dußignon seems to favor the latter part
of March, as the proper time for the meet
ing. Still, he says, he has to hear from
the other members before agreeing to any
particular date, as he thinks the wishes
of the majority of the members should
control in the matter.
Mr. dußignon says he is unable to say
just when the committee will call the
primary. He said Friday morning he could
see no reason the primary should not be
held at the usual time. It has been the
custom, he said, to hold the primaries in
May or June and he did not believe in the
late primary idea.
It is a well known fact that there Is an
effort to secure a late state primary this
year. There is a movement on foot to
that end. but there are also people who
are fighting the movement, and the result
may be that the committee will be con
siderably split up when the meeting is
held here.
Candidate Guerry is contending that a
late primary should be held, as he says
the people have more time to vote in Au
gust than tn May or June. In this conten
tion Mr. Guerry is being supported by his
friends. The other candidates, however,
are said to be in favor of holding the
primary as has been the custom.
Mr. dußignon is very much improved in
health.

TAPP PRESIDENT OF NEW
GUERRY ORGANIZATION
Sidney C. Tapp was elected president of
another Guerry club which was organised
Thursday night. Meeting was held in Mr.
Tapp’s office and besides Mr. Tapp the
following other officers were elected:
J. E. Wilhelm, vice president: Dr. L. C.
Brewster, secretary; R N. Fickett, Jr.,
chairman finance .committee. Dr. James
J. Hull was elected chairman of the ex
ecutive committee. Sidney C. Tapp was
made chairman of the campaign commit
tee and it may be that he will tour the
state, making speeches in Mr. Guerry’s
interest.
Resolutions framed by Mr. Tapp were
adopted by the meeting. The resolutions
which were read by Mr. Tapp condemned
the Southern railway for attempting to be
the Dick Croker of Georgia, roasted the
state officials and others who rode on free
passes given by the railroads, and pounced
the corporations for failing to pay their
share of the taxes.
The name selected for the new club was
the Young Men’s Guerry club of Atlanta.
The members of the club, under the lead
ership of the president and the chairman
of the campaign committee, will begin
work at once. The president is an expe
rienced campaigner and politician, as he
made numerous speeches in the state of
New Jersey two years ago for Bryan.
It is likely that a regular program will
be mapped out and that the chairman of
the club will visit many of the counties in
the state advocating the candidacy of Mr.
Guerry.

on a flurry of general buying led by shorts who

ifested by southern spot markets. Immediately
after the call May jumped to 8:60 on the de
mand from nervous shorts and in the absence
of liberal offerings. The -ronounced strength
of the March option held <ho tone up for later
montjis. Around 8.60 profit taking became ac
tive and for a time checked further bull pro
gress though falling to in any way diminish the
confidence of holders. Trading was very active
throughout the short session with Europe and
Wall street active buyers on the advance. The
cables were disappointing and receipts at the
ports were rather larger than looked for, but
these influences carried little Influence.
The market for futures closed steady at prices

W. E. Small 4 Co.'s Cotton Letter.
NEW ORLEANS, March I.—There was an
apparent lack of energy In the upward direc
tion of prices In Liverpool today which cables
explained by talk of English spinners con
templating a resort to short time owing to un
satisfactory business in yarns. Little atten
tion was paid here to outside developments.
The favorable feeling toward the market was
accentuated by a brisk demand that sent prices
up rapidly, after which a slight setback oc
curred on free realizing of profits by recent
purchasers, though the undertone remained
distinctly steady. The improvement in senti
ment on this side finds ready explanation in
the weekly mercantile reviews of home trade
in manufactured cotton goods, which could
hardly picture a more flourishing outlook.
Makers of cottofi goods are said to be very
cautious about undertaking future deliveries
owing to the uncertainty about securing raw
supplies and lack of assurance is regarded to
labor, the demand for goods is active and
orders are readily available.
Considering this condition and the numerous
reports In hand from various sections of the
belt concerning depleted ’ stocks at minor In
terior towns in conjunction with the undimln-
Ished volume of exports from this country it is
not surprising that the market is more inclined
to do better.
Southern Exchange Cotton Letter.
NEW YORK. March I.—Opening prices were
X to 3 points above yesterday’s final blds, Liv
erpool having responded to our advance of yes
terday; cables reported an advance of 2 to 3
points on futures. Falling off in receipts con
tributed to the scare of shorts and prices were
bid steadily upwards. May reached 8.65; July
8.63. Estimates for Monday, howqver, were
not quite so bullish, and induced some profit
taking among the weaker holders. Prices re
acted 3 to 5 points on closing out sales. Wire
houses were parallzed on account of the bad
condition of the wires throughout the south,
and business was curtailed considerably. Sta
tistics were slow In coming in, and traders held
back. The close was steady, 5 to 8 points
higher.

Grain and ProvlaioVis.
CHICAGO, March I.—May wheat opened a
shade higher to a shade lower, at 77 to 76%c.
The fluctuations early were narrow and the
feeling somewhat flrm. There was some good
commission house buying at the start on the
prospects of colder weather. Cables were only
fairly firm and the local crowd subjected the
pit to a drive on the bearish influences of the
rains. The southwest still Is dry and that
kept the market fairly strong, so that though
May sagged to 76%c it eaaily worked back
to 76%@77c. Local receipts were 24 cars, none
of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported 358 cars, making a total for the three
points of 383 cars, against 361 last year.
Sentiment in wheat later turned bearish
with the weakening of corn and there was a
fair amount of liquidation. May sold off to 76%c
and closed easy %c lower at 76%®%c.
AD CORN
Corn opened firm on good buying by the
southwest and on covering. The cables were
only steady but the wet weather still threat
ened a breaking up of country travel. There
was no pressure to sell, though scalpers sold
lightly on the temporary wheat weakness.
May opened %@%c up, to a shade down, at
62% to 62%c, eased to 62®62%c, and then re
acted to 62%@62%c. The flurry In oats had a
bullish effect. Receipts were 204 cars.
On the good early buying May corn sold to
62%c, but profit taking on a liberal scale turn
ed the market. Selling ensued and May slid
off to 61%®%c. closing weak %®%c lower, at
61%c.
May oats were in very good demand, the
pit was nervous and prices shot up with leaps
and bounds. Fluctuations were wide and the
crowd covered and bought on the prospects of
the leading long holder shipping out con
tract oats. May opened %®%c higher, at
44% to 45c, eased during a lull to 44%@44%c,
and then shot up to 46%c —all within an hour’s
trading. Receipts were 94 cars.
The high prices In oats was short lived. Af
ter the early scare, which had as its initial
factor the fear that the big buyers were forc
ing values to the government report on the
10th instant. May quieted and fell back. Trade
was very heavy for a time and 400.000 bushels
were bought by one flrm at 46%c. Selling press
ed May back to 44%c.
The closing was flrm. May %c higher at 44%c.
Provisions were higher on lighter hog re
ceipts and better prices at the yards. Com
mission houses bought and covering influenced
small advances. May pork opened 2% to 10c
I up. at 315.50 to $15.57%; May lard 2% to 5c
higher, at $9.4069.42%, and May ribs 2%c high
er, at $8.45, and eased to $8.42%@8.45.

W. E. Small & Co.’s Grain Letter.
CHICAGO. March I.—Wheat—While the sell
ing of September by elevator people was notice
able when corn gave way values weakened In
sympathy with the close rather soft. The float
ing short interest has been reduced to quite
an extent but should further declines appear
we would favor purchases.
Corn—Was strong, shorts being nervous over
the sharp advance In oats while there was
some buying by the southwest. Acceptance
over night were quite light with primary re
ceipts 341,000 against 769,009 last year. There
was commission house selling that was looked
upon as liquidation by the bear crowd'and with
I declines on curtailed selling once started sell
ing became quite general in which Patten,
Comstock and other local holders participated.
We understand that offerings from the interior
of this state are increasing with a disposition
shown to sell more freely. The closing was
soft with of values working lower.
Oats —Were strong from the start, shorts be
ing frightened over the report that Patten
would ship out the bulk of the contract grades
in store. Heavy buying run May up to 46% one
.house taking a large line at thh.t price, but
enough realizing appeared to cause a eharp
drop while local wheat traders sold July very
freely. No such trade has been witnessed In
this cereal in a long time and it is quite likely
that as far as May is concerned, the market
for that month will be quite feverish.
Provisions—Hogs were in light supply and
higher on which shorts covered in pork and
lard and ribs while packers sold on the ad
vances. It appears as If the run of hogs next
week would be lighter and with the demand
prevailing for all kinds of produit we would
favor purchases on the declinea.
Murphy & Co.'s Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, March I.—Wheat—Liverpool open
ed about % higher and closed unchanged tu
%c higher. Our market opened dull at about
last night’s close.' Covering on the part of
bulls and better news from fields and the
Missouri state crop report, showing a large
per cent of Increase In acreage amounting to
about GO per cent over the state, had a depress
ing effect on the market. However, it cannot
be called a heavy market, rather a dull one,
and is likely to respond readily to any bull
effort. i
Corn—Liverpool cables on spot corn closed
from % to %c higher, with favorable ocean
rates, made our market open better and held
firmly until near the close when a sharp de-
cline was experienced, caused by profit taking
and a small panic in oats.
Provisions—Lighter receipts and better prices
in the hog market again had a strengthening
Influence in this market, but the trading was
so light that the market eased off some. The
market is In such shape that It is most im
possible to put out a line without advancing
the market.

McCullough Bros.- Fruit and Product
Letter-
ATLANTA, March I.—Fruit, produce and
vegetable business is now largely dependent on
weather conditions. Same has not been at all
favorable for the last few weeks, with the ex
ception of a favorable day occasionally. Flor
ida truck is now ready to move In an extensive
<ay. and the prospects and outlook for a
heavy spring business In this line was never
more encouraging. Lettuce, celery and cab
bage are now in sufficient supply to meet trade
requirements at moderate prices. To the con
trary a noted scarcity with a strong demand
and high prices applies to fancy tomatoes, egg
plant, cauliflower, cucumbers, squash, Eng
lish peas and green beans. Conditions have
not been at all favorable for the sale of straw
berries, of which receipts will be much heavier
right along during the aext two weeks. Flor
ida oranges and grape fruit, almost a thing of
the past for the present season, fancy prices
being obtained for the scattering lots now ar
riving. No Mexican oranges now In the mar
ket; the trading In California na
vels and seedlings has been heavy and almost
exclusive.
Quite a lull has dominated the apple situation
during the last five days, but we anticipate no
decline In prices because the supply at all
points of shipment, has been practically ex
hausted, with the exception of a light supply
of Russets. The break in the weather through
out the east and west has caused great excite
ment among the importers of lemons, which has
resulted in a strong advance of 50 to 75c per
box on the best grades. Prices prior to that
time were very low because that was necessary
in the face of the blizzard to move the arrivals
at all.
Bananas, also, showing more activity, both
as to demand and prices.
Both eating and seed Irish potatoes are in
light supply, with indications that higher prices
will prevail in the near future.
The market is also well cleaned up on onion
sets.
A noted scarcity of sweet potatoes prevail on
the pumpkin yam variety.
Liberal receipts of New Ydrk state Danish
cabbage has relieved the situation thgt existed
during last week whereby the consumption was
at least 50 per cent in excess of supply. ,
The market. on all kinds of field peas ia in
a very unsettled state at this time. The hold
ers seem to be In a quandary as to whether to
sell at present prices or hold for an advance.
Country smoked meat continues scarce,
which, no doubt, will continue to prevail. There
is a strong demand for table and cooking but
ter. Also dressed and live poultry.
Eggs have declined at the rate of 1c per dozen
a day during the last week. On Monday last
the price was 25 to 26c and today they are slow
sa|e at 20 to 21c.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s Review.
R. G. Dun & Co.’s review says:
Although the shortest month of the year was
curtailed by two holidays and handicapped by
the most severe storms of the winter, in
dustrial and trade results were most satis
factory. The closing week brought a general
resumption of activity in lines that suffered
from the weather, and preparations for an ex
ceptional heavy shipping business was reported
at many points, southern cities alone being
backward.
Pig iron production suffers at a time a
maximum output would not be excessive. Pres
sure for structural material Is already severe,
and will probably be still more so as the regu
lar building season draws nearer. Further har
dening of quotations is reported and inquiries
for delivery in 1903 are not exceptional. More
foreign steel has been engaged, and domestic
concerns are still bidding in the German mar
ket.
Footwear buyers are leaving New England
without doing much more than a fair sample
business outside special lines.
Makers of cotton goods are very dautlous
about undertaking future deliveries, owing to
the uncertainty as to labor and raw material.
Export orders are still available, but prices
are slightly below the views of holders.
As a rule woolen goods are well maintained
and in brisk demand. But new lines of heavy
weights are not- sought.
Cereals opened the week with a decided re
action. As usual, speculative liquidation car
ried the decline too far, and there followed the
customary recovery.
Wheat came Into sight rather more freely
than a year ago. and the Atlantic shipment of
flour made a better comparison than in recent
preceding weeks, but total exports of wheat
from the United States, flour included were
but 3,185,052 bushels, against 4,324.243 a year
a K°- . .
Corn showed the customery loss in both
movements, receipts amounting to only 2.312.-
664 bushels, against 4.849,783 last year, while
Atlantic coast shipments were 184,682 bushels,
compared with 3,421,682 in the same week
o< CoTton ruled fairly steady at the recent ad
vance. which attracted more liberal marketing
at the south, but supplies in first hairtls are
reported very low.
Wool has been taken less freely by rnill".
but dealers show no lack of confidence in the
future of that staple. ..
Failures for the week number 215 *n *ne

BY SUPPOSED FRIEND
- #
J. R. Livingston, who says he is a ne
phew of Congressman Livingston, was
robbed of something like 1300 late Wednes
day afternoon. Thursday morning Recor
der Broyles committed J. J. Blakely to the
Tower to await trial in the state courts
for talcing the money, while C. M. Ira,
who introduced the two men and told
Blakey that Livingston had a good deal of
money, was nabbed by License Inspector
Hunter Immediately after the trial and
made to pay $3.15 for a. license to do a
wall paper business, Ira having testified
that he was in that business. Blakey re
mained with Livingston until he retired.
Wliile Livingston was having his head
bathed in cold water, Blakey took the
money, saying he was afraid some one
would rob him. He said he would return
but failed to do ’ so. When Livingston
awoke he reported the matter to the city
detective department and officers went to ,
work immediately on the case. Detectives
Langford, Simpson, White and Sergeant
Bedford all figured in it and $290 of the
money was secured from a saloonist to
whom Blakey had turned it over to keep
for him. Later Blakey was arrested.
Livingston said he had $345. Blakey said
he took only $290, the amount recovered.
It is not known whether the difference
was lost or whether Blakey got that also
and disposed of it. The officers were sus
picious of Ira, who had introduced the
two men. The recorder, however, said
there was no evidence upon which he
could be bound over. Blakey’s bond was
fixed at SI,OOO and this he was unable to
give.
