In addition, a large percentage

do not expect any other candidate
will make the race on the prohibi

tatlon of the Pope Brown coctln
gent that their candidate will re
ceive the full endorsement of the
Georgia Anti-Saloon League as soon
as Dr. Hardeman shall have
nounced his formal withdrawal.
Ex-Governor Joe Brown will no
according to those whQ are "In-the-
know," take away as -many of the
Judge Russell votes as at first
thought, and his friends are
posed to think that Little Joe made
a big mistake In entering the race
at all.
It Is understood that the rail
roads, which wore active for Joe
Brown in his previous contests, will
not assist in the financing of his
campaign ,and that they will not ac
tively Interest themselves In his elec
tion, either by putting up any mon
ey or 6y coerctbn of employees In his
behalf . There Is a strong belief la
political circles that Joe Brown will
prove a rank outsider in the run
ning, as the lines have already been
drawn between Pope Brown
Judge Russell.
Many ministers of the State are
outskopea against the candidacy of
Judge Russell, and will, It is be
lieved ,come out flat-footed for Pope
Brown and prohibition In their pul
pits. The endorsement of Pope
Brown, by tho Traveling men of the

(By Associated Press.)
Washington, Sept. 26.—The sim
ply of raw cotton Increased over
twelve per cent during the cotton
year la the United States ending
August 31, 1911, according to the
Census Bureau’s preliminary re
port on the supply and distribution
of the cotton supply, amounting to
13,656,479 bales, compared with 12.-
168,021 ba!,es for the previous year,
when there was a decrease of twen
ty per cent from that available In
1909.
Notwithstanding {his Increased to
il supply, the cotton consumption
In the United Stales showed a de
crease of slightly more than two per
cent over last year, and a small con
sumption during the past three
years, it being 4,696,316 bales.
It was said, seml-ofllclally, tba*
raw cotton’s high price during the
past year was principally the cause
for the decreased consumption. This
consumption during the year was
larger in the cotton growing states
than the -previous year, while In a'l
other states % lt was smaller.
During the cotton year, the
ports work twenty-two per cent
greater than during 1910, the
amount being 7.781.414 bales, com
pared with 6,339,028 bales a year
ago.
The year Just closed was the
fourth lnrgest In export trade his
tory. The net Imports Increased
more than fifty-two per cent, the to
tal amount being 2,310,191 bales
being greater than any year In the

London, Sept. 26.—Tho opposi
tion aroused by the clergy over the
scheduled light between Jack John
son and Bombarder Weils ,the Eng
lish title holder, assumed a legal
character today, when a police court
magistrate, upon the public prose
cutor's application, granted six sum
mons against the principals and
promoters.
This action followed House Sec
retary Churchill’s decision that the
fight would be Illegal, and his an
nouncement that unless the event
was voluntarily abandoned, an at
tempt would be made to stop it.
James White, the promoter of
the match, declared that ho would
test the legality of Secretary Church
ill's decision and If the matter wsa
sustained by the courts, he would
withdraw his clftlm Immediately.
White stated that If the match
was made Impossible In London, it
might be staged in Paris, 1
The campaign against the fight
has been based on moral grounds.
