POWERFUL INTERESTS ARE
REPORTED BUYING COTTON.
W. Collier Estes says: Powerful
interests are balling cotton as they
did in' the bumpe rcrop year previous
to 1914. The speculative position is
similar, there is absolutely no long
interest to be taken care of. Then
the public was very bearish because
of the big crop and it was easy to put
cotton from 8 and 8% to 13%, be
cause it looked impossible at 10
cents. The public sold their heads
off, thinking it was a pipe. How bad
ly they were stung is a matter of his
tory. Now they are bearish because
of the price level, and they think it is
safe to sell freely at 13 cents. They
will bleed as freely this time as they
did before. Look how easily cotton
values advanced, any speculative buy
ing of magnitude will quickly advance
values 2 cents per pound. One-third
of May gone and not 25 per cent of
crop np east of the Mississippi river;
as the section is largely weevil invest
ed the gravity of the condition can
only be appreciated by people that
lived in boll weevil section.

millionaire, who died last December,
is being heard before the United
States circuit court of appeals in At
lanta Wednesday, the receivers, ac
cording to their report Wednesday,
are being threatened at Smithonla by
L. K. Smith, a nephew of Zadoo
Smith, who declares he will retain
possesion of the Smith home and the
property.
The report of the receivers, brought
to Atlanta by Cook Clayton, clerk of
the United States court for the south
ern district of Georgia, was read be
fore the circuit court of appeals judges
hearing the case Wednesday.
The receivers, in their report, state
that they were threatened both by L.
K. Smith, a nephew of Zadoc Smith,
and B. L. Dunaway, said to be a broth
er-in-law of L. K. Smith, and that
Smith fired two pistol shots during a
conflict with W. P. Briggs, of Athens,
who was put In charge of the estate
and home by the receivers.
In Possession of Estate.
“But in spite of this treatment,” the
report concludes,” the receivers have
taken over and are now in possession
of the estate.”
The actions of L. K. Smith are de
scribed by the receivers to have beer,
totally unjustifiable.
The Smith estate fight, grown fa
mous through several states now by
reason of protracted litigation arising
from the appointment of temporary
administrators and receivers, Wednes
day morning resolved itself, virtually,
into a fight between Zadoc Smith
claimants, bitterly contesting the de
cision of Judge Speer, in dethroning
the temporary adminstrators, and the
Nancy Smith heirs, upholding Judge
Speer’s decision and claiming that the
receivers appointed by Judge Speer
should remain In charge until the ap
pointment of permanent administra
tors.
Seated on the circuit court of ap
peals bench to hear the appeal were
Judge Don A. Pardee, of Atlanta;
Judge R. W. Walker, of Huntsville,
Ala., and Judge W. I. Grubb, of Birm
ingham, Ala.
The opening argument was made
by Attorney S. H. Sibley, of Union
Point, representing the Zadoc Smith
claimants. Attorney Sibley vehement
ly questioned the right of the United
States court to assume jurisdiction in
the case, holding that the appointment
of temporary administrators was pure
ly a matter for the state courts.
Out of Jurisdiction.
Attorney Sibley stressed the point
that he thought It was entirely out of
the jurisdiction of the United States
court to interfere with the officers ap
pointed by the state courts unless it
could be proven that all of these of
ficers had not performed their duty,
, Former Congressman W.' M. How
ard, representing the Nancy Smith
heirs of Habersham county as inter-
venors In the case, followed Attorney
Sibley. Congressman Howard held
that where there were evidences of
fraud that the United States court
was purely within Its rights to as
sume temporary charge of the estate,
as was done by the appointment of
the receivers.
Setting out his charges of fraud, Con
gressman Howard said that four of
the temporary administrators, on the
night of December 11, the same day
that James S. Smith died, went to the
ordinary of that county, declared that
the estate was valued at about $25,000
and, on their statement that they were
qualified to act as administrators,
were appointed. The estate, accord
ing to Congressman Howard, was
later estimated to be worth between
$2,000,000 and $3,000,000.

Fight is Waged Against Needless
Loss of Life and Property by Fire
(By Associated Press.)
Chicago, May 10.—The measure to
be advocated by the National Fire
Protection Associaiton in its warfare
against the needless sacrifice of hu
man lives and property by fire were
Introduced in the form of resolutions
at the annual meeting of the associa
tion here today. The measures pro
posed are:
1. The adoption by municipalities
of the Standard Building Code of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
to the end that fire-resistive building
construction may be encouraged, the
use of inflammable roof coverings
prohibited, adequate exit facilities
from buildings assured, and interiors
so designed and fire-stopped as to
make easy the extinguishment of
fires therein.
2. The adoption by all states of
minimum requirements for the pro
tection of state and county hospitals,
asylums and similar institutions out
side city limits and of small commu
nities in which the establishment and
enforcement of a building code is im
practicable.
3. The enactment by each state of
the fire marshal law advocated by the
Fire Marshals’ Association of North
America to the end that official in
vestigation may be made of the
causes of all fires, preventable fires
may be eliminated by public educa
tion, and the crime of arson stamped
out.
4. The adoption of the associa
tion’s suggested ordinance providing
tor the systematic inspection of all
buildings by city fire marshals or
local firemen to Insure the vigorous
enforcement of rules for cleanliness,
good housekeeping and the mainten
ance of safe and unobstructed exits,
fire-fighting apparatus and other pro
tective devices.
The enactment of ordinances
similar to that of Cleveland, Ohio,
fixing the cost of extinguishing pre
ventable fires upon citizens disregard?
ing fire prevention orders, and a more
general legal recognition of the com
mon law principle of personal liabil
ity for damage resulting from fires
due. to carelessness or neglect.
6. The wider general use of The
automatic sprinkler as a fire ex
tinguishing agent and ltfe saver and
the more general adoption of the fire
division wall as an important life sav
ing exit facility.
7. A careful study of the technical
surveys of cities made by the engin
eers of the committee on fire pre
vention of the National Board of Fire
Underwriters covering the items of
Water supplies, their adequacy and re
liability; fire department efficiency,
fire alarm systems and conflagration
hazards; and of the possibility of co
operation among neighboring cities
through mutual aid and the standard
ization of hose couplings.
8. The adoption of the associa
tion’s suggested laws and ordinances
for state and municipal regulation of
the transportation, storage and use of
Inflammable liquids and explosives.
9. The universal adoption and use
of the safety match and legislation
prohibiting smoking in all parts of
factories, industrial and mercantile
buildings except in such fire proof
rooms as may be especially approved
for the purpose by fire departments.
10. The education of children and
the public generally In careful habit
regarding the use of ^re.
