At Georgia Synod Meeting
Invasion of Mexico Will Not Be
Necessary, Declares Senator
Bacon, Head of Foreign Re
lations Committee
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. D. C., Nov. 6.—
President Iluerta will be compelled to
retire from the provisional presidency
of Mexico.
This is the policy of the administra
tion in dealing with the Mexican situ
ation. according- to Senator Bacon, chair
man of the foreign relations committee
of the senate.
That much is decided upon as a defi
nite policy. Huerta’s failure to com
ply with the request of the Ignited
States, already conveyed to him, that
iie get out and take his suite with hinj,
will probably result, not in military in
vasion by the United States, but in
raising the embargo on the shipment
<*f guns and ammunition into Mexico.
The immediate effect of that action
by the United States, it is believed in
official circles, will be to put into the
hands of General Carranza and his con
stitutionalist followers the means by
which . they may defeat Huerta within
sixty days, gain absolute control and
establish a stable government.
CONFERENCE WITH CARRANZA.
There has been communication be
tween the United States authorities and
General Carranza within the past few
days. Various envoys have gone to the
constitutionalist leader from the presi-
dsnt with unofficial missions, but en
dowed with power to convey and receive
assurances. Among these is Ambrose
Bierce, a well known, newspaper writer,
ar.d a close friend of Secretary Bryan.
Mr. Bierce left Washington three weeks
ago on this mission to Carranza and
communications have beei\ received from
him since his arrival in Mexico.
BY REV. JONAS BARCLAY.
ROME, Ga., Nov. 6.—The morning
session of the synod of Georgia was
opened with devotional exercises con
ducted by Rev. W. E. Hill, of Atlanta.
A resolution was presented by Rev.
Dr. R. C. Reed deploring “the preva
lence of immodest dress, unclean the
atrical plays and the degrading dances
of the present day.” The resolution
calls upon fathers and mothers to in-
i struct properly and control their chil
dren in this matter. It asks the pas
tors to preach upon the subjects and
requests the women’s unions to co
operate in this crusade against what he
branded the demoralization of young
people.
Rev. C. I. Stacey presented a splen
did report of the Sabbath school work,
showing a membership of 10.552 in our
schools. Four hundred and eighty have
been received into chfirch membership
from the Sunday schools during the
past year. These schools have con
tributed $23,578 to the causes of the
cnurch. Mr. Stacey, chairman of the
Sunday school committe, urged that
the churches pay the running expenses
of the Sunday schools, that the schools
might devote their gifts to tfi^ causes
of the church.
Rev. Dr. R. O. Flinn, after present
ing the report on home missions and
evangelism, urged the pressing need of
a synodical evangelist for Georgia. He
then stated that a long and fruitless
endeavor by the state committee to se
cure such a man had heen made. He
added that he believed that at last
God had led them to the right man.
Rev. H. E. Falconer, D. D., of West
chester, Pa., was then invited to ad
dress the synod. Dr. Falconer is a
Kentuckian and has the gift of utter-
j ance. He is a man of impressive per
sonality and strong convictions and
| speaks? with constraining power straight
from the heart. He has been working
for sortie years as a Presbyterian evan
gelist in Pennsylvania and has been
marvelously successful in his work.
His address was heard with great in
terest by the synod.

SOUTHERN STATES ARE GAINING
ON LEADERS IN THE NORTH IN
MANUFACTURING COTTON GOODS
PREDICTS E. 0. P. WILL
JOIN THE PROGRESSIVES
1 Tifct the trend of political events
points to an amalgamation of the Re-
publian and Progressive forces In the
next national election, was the. opinion
.Expressed to a Journal reporter by
Senator Robert M. LaFollette, of Wls-
.y coasin, who. lectured in Atlanta Wednes
day evening under the auspices of the
Alkahest Lyceum bureau.
Senator LaFollette made it quite
clear, however, that in his opinion it
there is to be a reunion of the two
, parties, the old stand-pat, reactionary
Republican leaders must give way to the
Progressives and that Progressive ideals
and policies must prevail.
‘There seems to be a disposition on
- t!le P*art of the roamers to return to the
cid party,” said the Wisconsin senator,
who has long been known as a real
Progressive, “but the old party must
oe willing to be leavened by the leaven
of progressiveism. The leaven must per
meate the whole lump or there will be
no lump.”
SPLIT SCATTERED FORCES.
“The split which occurred in the Re
publican party at Chicago scattered our
forces and we were further shot to
Pieces in the elections last November, j
hut the formidableness of the old party
fan be restored if it will choose for
its leaders real Progressive men who
will stand for a government honestly
administered in the interest of the peo
ple of this country.”
He commented freely upon the defeat
of Tammany in New York City, however,
and declared the result was gratifying to
him.
"I don’t believe Tammany can ever
‘•ome back, he said. “It has oontinued to
cling to the old-time political machine
tactics which flourished in New York un
der Platt and in Pennsylvania under
Quay. The people are done with the po-
litial bosses. They fire aroused and are
informed. Murphey laid himself open to
attack and the result was just what 1
expected. If Tammany comes back it
must do so as a clean organization, en
gaged in clean politics, and sincerely In
terested in furthering the cause of the
people."
Senator LaB’aliette was unstinted in
his praise of President Wilson, whom he
described as a ma« of intense patriotism
and integrity. Referring to the Mexican
situation Senator LaFollette predicted
that if it became necessary for the Unit
c.d States to intervene in that strife-torn
country President Wilson would Jiave the j
u-’-nimous support of congress 'and the j
respect and confidence of the other world !
powers. ♦
'WILSON’S COURSE PAIR.
I to declared President Wilson had pur-'
sued a fair and honorable policy toward
Mexico and that he had liuilded a foun
dation which would justify any action the
United States felt compelled to take.
The tariff Li!l recently passed by
congress was declared by Senator La-
rollette to l>e an excellent piece of leg
islation.
"There is no doubt that congress will
pass a curffencj; bWI,” said Senator I.a-
i'ollette, "but I'hope to see the bill now
in the banking and currency committee
of the senate strengthened. I feel that
we must not only provide a currency
of greater- elasticity, but that while we
are about It we should pass a bill which
will terminate the control of our cur
rency by the big financial interests.
“Representative Government” was
the subject of tlfe lecture delivered by
.Senator LaFollette Wednesday evening
■-■t the Baptist Tabernacle. He declared
lie is devoting himself to building up
progressive sentiment and said he ex
pects to give all .his spare time during
the next three or four years to this
•vork in the south.
PRAISES SMITH AND BACON.
, During his talk with The Journal re
porter, Senator La Follette took occa
sion. to remark that he had noticed in
Wednesday’s Journal that Senator Hoke
Smith was at home for a brief stay.
Georgia is ably represented in the
United States senate by Senators Bacon
end Smith,” said he. “In fact, she is
me of the states which are best repre
sented in that body. Her senators are
both .men of exceptional ability and of
strong influence.”

southern than in the northern states, ac- j e * c ® pt * n , Maine alKl Virginia, in which
cording to statistics compiled by the tvater power was used to a greater ;
census bureau under direction of Wil- \ extent than any other form of power.
COST OP MATERIALS.
The total cost of materials as reported
for 1909, which, however, includes a con
siderable amount of duplication, was j
*371,009,470, an increase of $194,457,943, or
110.1 per cent over 1899. Raw cotton is by
far the most important material, the
amount used by establishments having in
creased from 1,817,643,390 pounds in 1899 to
2,335,344,903 pounds in 1909, or 28.5 per cent,
and its cost from $125,169,616 to $274,724,210,
or 119.5 per cent. i
One of the most important points j
brought out is the marked increase in ’
cotton consumption in the coton-grow- j
ing states and the consequent decrease!
in the relative importance of the older
manufacturing sections. In 1889 the’
New England states reported 63.9 per
cent of the totalt cotton consumption
for the industry, but the proportion had
decreased to 51.8 per cent in 1899, and
to 43.5 per cent in 1909. On the other
hand, the cotton growing states, which
comprise Virginia, Kentuey, Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma and the states south,
reported 22.4 per cent of the total con
sumption in 1889. 48.9 per cent in 1889,
and 49.S per cent in 1909.
Massachusetts was, in 1909, as it had
been in prior census years, the largess'
consumer of cotton, 1,244,614 bales, or
622,368,027 pounds, being used in the
cotton manufacturing industry of the
state during the year. North Carolina
was the next largest user of cotton In
1909. South Carolina was third, Geor
gia fourth and New Hampshire fifth.
Plain cloths for printing or converting
comprise by far the most important
class of woven goods, as measured by
quantity, constituing in 1909 35 per cent
of the total. Brown and bleached sheet
ings and shirtings ranked second, fol
lowed by ginghams, fancy woven fab
rics, twills and sateens, and napped fab
rics, in the order named, the production
of each of these classes of cloths being
more than 300,000,000 square yards in
1909. The output of plain cloths for
printing or converting increased 40.7
per cent between 1899 and 1909, and its
value 92.3 per cent. The output of sheet
ings and shirtings increased 22.4 per
cent, and their value 60 per cent.

11am J. Harris, of Georgia. Georgia
ranks fifth in the manufacture of cotton
goods. Massachusetts still holds the
lead, with North Carolina, South Caro
lina and Rhode Island ranking in the
order named. Pennsylvania, New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Alabama
are in line behind Georgia.
It is only a question of time when
North Carolina will replace Massachu
setts as the leading state in the manu
facture of cotton goods. The growth
of the industry in the Old North state
has been greater than elsewhere, and
the latest figures show she has crowded
South Carolina out of second place.
The proportion of women engaged in
the cotton mills in New England is
much larger than in the south, but the
southern mills use more child labor than
do the mills of Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode
Island.
The average number of persons en
gaged in the cotton manufacturing in
dustry, as a whole, during 1909, was
387,771, of whom 378,880, or 97.7 per
cent, were wage earners. Of the total
number, 221,299, or 57.1 per cent, were
males, and 166,472, or 42.9 per cent,
were females. The average number of
children under sixteen years of age em
ployed as wage earners was 39,306, of
whom nearly one-half were girls. Chil
dren constituted 10.4 per cent of the
total number of wage earners.
CHILD LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
In three southern states—Alabama,
North and South Carolina—nearly 19 per
cent of all the wage earners in the in
dustry -were children under sixteen
years of age. In Massachusetts only 5.7
per cent were children.
Practically one-half (50.4 per cent) of
the wage earners were in establishments
where the prevailing hours of labor were
between 54 and 60 per week, and nearly
one-third (31.5 per cent) were employed
in establishments where the hours were
sixty per week'.
O the 1,324 establishments reported for
1909, 163, or 12.3 per cent, manufactured
products valued at $1,000,000 or more.
There were included in this group five
establishments with products valued at
$5,000,000 or more, the aggregate value
of their products exceeding $37,000,000. The

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Nov. 6.—The
frustrated plot to assassinate President
Adolfo Diaz, of Nicaragua, and all his
cabinet ministers on October 29 was laid
by the conspirators with remarkable
care, according to details published her*
today.
The plotters, members of the Liberal
party, divided thernselves into three
groups. The first of these was charged
with the work of killing the president
and two cabinet ministers; the second
was to assassinate Vice President Fer
nando Soloranzo and the minister ot
foreign affairs, and the third group was
{to throw dynamite bombs among the
j members of the chamber of deputies
while they were in session on the after
noon of October 29.
The discovery of the conspirators
while they were meeting to arrange
final details of the plot was purely acci
dental .Nearly all of those connected
with the affair have been imprisoned.

ufacturing products valued at less than
$20,000—constituted a small proportion of
the total number at both censuses, and
the value of their products formed only
one-tenth of 1 per cent of the total.
The average value of products per es
tablishment increased from $390,353 in 1904,
to $474,616 in 1909, and the average number
of wage earners likewise increased from
274 in 1904 to 286 In 1909.
The total expenses reported for the in

as follows: Cost of materials, $371,009,470,
1909 was 28,178,862, of which 27,425,608
were in the cotton mills, including a

cent from 1899 to 1909, 8,714,878, or
44.8 per cent.
The greatest percentage of increase
in any industry from 1899 to 1909 was
in the hosiery and knit goods industrv
134.8 per cent. Eight stat.es—Georgia,

cent; and miscellaneous expenses, made
up of advertising, ordinary repairs of
building and machinery, insurance, trav
eling expenses, and other sundry expens
es, $35,941,315, of 6.5 per cent.

Fisher Cat Tries
To Pull Lines With Pa ws
MIAMI, Fla., Nov. 6.—While it is gen
erally known that cats love fish, there
is only one cat, so far as is known, that
attends to providing its own meals of
fresh fish and also looks after the
family platter. This cat is Sambo, a
black one, who is owned by Mrs. W. J.
Strauber. of Miami.
Sambo learned that his favorite food
came from the water and that it was
landed on the end of a string. Since he
made the discovery he has been interest
ed in any string with an end on the
dock and the other end in the water.
Wherever the cat sees a line he watches
patiently and the minute the cork bob
bles, Sambo sets up a loud mewing and
does not cease until some one takes the
fish from the hook.
Sambo has been seen many times try
ing to pull in a line with his paws, but
the effort has never been repaid with
success.
Sporting Editor of The Journal
Victim of Malady Which
Baffled Physicians
Julian L. Murphey, for years a mem
ber of The Journal’s staff, died Thurs
day morning at 11 o’clock at St. Joseph’s
infirmary, after a , brave but hopeless
fight against the strange malady which
sapped his strength. There is sadness
in The Journal building, for no man
of the many who have served the paper
and passed on ever made closer friends
among his confreres. And the announce
ment of his death will bring deep re
gret far outside the circle of the
Fourth Estate, too, for all the city
s knew Julian Murphey, and to know him
was to be his friend.
Until a month ago Mr. Murphey kept
steadily at his desk as sporting editor,
but for a considerable period he had
found himself tiring more easily after
physical exertion. Then one day on the
golf links at East Lake he fainted. He
rose and tried again, but was too weak
to continue the round. It was not until
then that he or his friends realized
that he was really ill.
At St. Joseph’s infirmary the physi
cians said he was suffering from per
nicious anaemia, a malady which grad
ually saps the strength of its victim
through the breaking down of the blood
corpuscles. There is no remedy known
to science, and several physicians call
ed into consulation shook their heads
and said # there was no hope. Mr. Mur
phey lingered several weeks, growing
a little weaker every day. He did not
suffer, and drifted into unconsciousness
as the end approached.
Mr. Murphy was born in Barnesville,
on June 26, 1887, and received his edu-

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.—A sharp rise
in securities of the Standard Oil com
pany was the feature of today’s opera

is supposed to have been stimulated by
belief that enforcement of the income
tax may result in an early distribution

Atlantic Refining rose from 655 to 690.

tered an advance and stocks of foreign
companies mad eminor gains.
At the offices of the Standard Oil com

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—Commissioner
of Internal Revenue Osborn today noti

sions, or any state, county or political'
