Atlanta, June 24.—Tile problem of finance Is yet the biggest th(pg before the legislature, but no definite step has been taken to relieve the sltua tlon. The condition of the state treas ury Hasn't materially relieved since yesterday/when It was impossible to meet salary demands of state house officers. There' Is, among members of the house, differences of opinion on the outcome of the proposition osjtlined yesterday by Chairman Carswell of tbe appropriations coniittee In a speech reflecting the Dorsey plan of temporary relief. That the diversion as a temporary loan of the automobile fund Is going to meet some strong oposltlon Is more manifest today than It was yesterday, but the Indications, are that a majority at least of.tjie house and senate will agree to that proposition and.

CHAMBER COMMERCE MEET OttW *1 (Special to The Banner.) Greenville, S. C., June 24.—Hon. Thomas J. Shackelford, of Athens. Ua., addressed the members of the State Hankers’ Association and large number of citizens here today. His speech was given rapt attention and his dealing with the cotton situa tion was said to be the strongest ex position of the Interest of the farmers ever heard In this state. He is a forcible and magnetic speaker, open ing a new line of thought as to the duty the bankers owed to the farmers in aiding tnem to hold their cotton until a reasonable price had been reached. Since Mr. Shackelford's address It Is believed that a most liberal policy will be pursued by the bankers to wards the farmers wherever needed. He showed where the present price of cotton was a great injustice to the farmers and that better prices must be had. If the farmer Is to be able to meet his obligations.

That Institution If asking for half a million ifalfars. more appropriation, and Information Is that they have shown the Budget and Efficiency com mission the request Is tor not one do! lar more than the Instllutioiv is In need oh That the thought of the legislature Is gradually concentrating on a solul tlon of some form, however, la evi denced In the discussion today of an entirely new plan, devised by Repre sentative U C. Brown of Clarke, and which be expects to have In shape for action by Monday or Tuesday, which will entirely change -the financial stat us of the state In all respects. Mr. Brown proposes the enactment o, a bill providing for an emergency state bond Issue of 35,000.000 to, be used lu such a way that the entire financial burden of tbe state will be lifted over from the spring and summer months and transferred into tbe late fall and winter, at that time of year when jne hulk of the tax money comes Into tne treasury, and thus the state will be enabled to operate on a cash basis Instead of continually "kiting" and running on . credit from month to month In anticipation of Incoming taxes. , Conferences are being held by him now with some very able lawyers und prominent officials of the state und Ita institutions, In which they are threshing out the details of the Brown proposition. The MU necessary to carry through such u plan will, of couise, carry in It a referendum to the people In the next election, und -- to that extent, the plun Itself will be I delayed iu Its execution, or Inaugura tion, until after a vote shall have been had, but all those who have gone In to It are agreed there Is no other way to work It out. Mr. Brown's purpose, us he de scribes It, Is that 3-000,000 of the fund accruing from the sale of tneHo bonds shall bo used for meeting cer tain Institutional and general expen ses of the state which the treasury now bus no way at all to meet. Tho remaining 33 000,000 under Ills Man. would be used for the payment of tbe public school teachers ami mainte nance of tho public school Bystem, thereby doing away entirely with the system of discounting school war- wants, an Incident in the business life of the state which has been more or less a constant source of attack In the legislature. On those discounted warrants the state Is now paying the largest discount premium it ever has paid for borrowed money. Tbe Brown bill would provide that 3 per cent ot the state's Income from all sources be set aside to create a sinking fund for the retirement of the proposed 35.000,000 of bonds. The application of the fund from ' the bond sale would, as the bill Is to be drawn, be entirely In tho hands of the Budget and Efficiency Commis sion. except that specific direction would be given as to the uso of the lump sum of 33,000.000 for common school purposes. That Is, the remain ing 32,000,000 of the fund would be apportioned according to pressing -nrgfa's penrh' supply after tonight, ,*,nless the railroad outlets provide ' some other gateway tliun the Potomac yards, at Washington, it was said here tonight.

Harding Swamped By ) His Correspondence Washington, D. C.. June 24.—Sen ator Harding, tho Republican nom inee for president, received few vis itors today and devoted virtually tho entire day to bis correspondence, which has become tremendous. In addition to the usual delivery of bo- tween three and four thousand let ters, he received approximately 15,- COo today by express from hie home at Marlon, O. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, son of the former president. Is one of the num her of Progressives to meet Harding by Invitation tomorrow to discuss the campaign plans. needs uniong the Institutions of the etktc by the Budget and Efficiency Commission. The announcement of the plan to day by Mr. Brown has been followed by a great deal of favorable comment, and particularly has this been true among the business men of the house. They are all anxious, us a matter of course, to nave a clearer understand ing of the details of the plan, before committing themselves to Its sup port, but on tho whole this sugges tion Is being received with something of the prospect thnt It will be taken as the lasting solution of that great problem which is yow confronting the stated Thp adoption of the bond Issue plnn, however, will not bring the Im mediate relief to the treasury which must bo provided, because of the nec essary time to be gone through In perfecting It even after It has been passed by the legislature. It Is this interval of temporary embarrassment which Governor Dorsey's suggestion, as presented by Chairman Carswell, seeks to meet; that of imlng the au tomobile tag fund as a temporary loan for general state expenses. In respect to that It has been shown to day that t|io Brown proposition dove tails Into the Dorsey plan and would make even more certain the prompt replacement of the total automobile fund of 31,700.000, In round figures, of which half a million already has teeq employed as a temporary loan with which to meet payment of the At last the Blue teams have snatch ed first place from the Reds, thanks to tbe pep and enthusiasm of the act ing general, Marion Conotly, to whom Is due the greater part of the credit for forcing tbe Blue teams to the front.

June 24.—More and more elements of uncertainty ap peared in the ltnetup of the Demo cratic National Convention today, as leaders of the first magnitude arrived In increasing numbers and put their heads together over the questions of policies and men. For the time being, the platform held its place as the big topic of con versation. The negotiation with the problem of bone-dry prohibition was the chief material for controvert but the tulk of candidates, in a morl bund stage tot a week, revived as the convention crowds gathered. Boosters for Palmer. Cox and a half doaen other aspirants' became 'hi treasingly active among uninstructed delegates and a whole bevy of fa vorite sens and dark horses blossom ed out with headquarters of thair own. Meantime, the phantom McAdoo stalked serenely through hotel corri dors and conference rooms, leaving behind a trail of uncertainty and spec ulatlon. Though publicly executed by McAdoo himself, the movement did not down. Indeed, its perambulations were suggestive of the pink of vigor It turned W uninvited as a ghost at the council tables of more than out candidate's manager. On sevesal questions of convention organization, too, the party chiefs were In a quandary. There are stfine rumblings of a fight against Senetoi Glass, the administration's choice for chairman of the platform coralttee and the problem ot chousing a per manent convention qhairman got Into a mess which threatened to upset se riously the planx-Vf-'fowe adminis tration supporters. Senator Walsh, of Montana, who voted In the Senate In March for tne rntlfloation of the treaty with Repub lican reservations, promised to be come tho storm center of tho organ ization tight. In some quarters he Is urged as a candidate against Glass, for the head of the platform commit tee, though many others thought he should bo permanent chairman. Walsh has the backing of Bryan and is said to be favored by other powerful forces more or less out of accord with the administration poll cie*.

The bill, therefore, by Sen- ntor Fermor Barrett, of the Thirty- first, which seeks to strike from tha state'constitution the word "male" where' it limits the suffrage fa the state to male cltliens, had right of way and was spoken to by Mr, Bar rett 'For a few minutes It appeared that tbe strong fight made' fast ypar by ' Messrs. Dorris and Elders, who cham pioned the Anthony ratification, would be renewed In this effort to provide by atate enactment for equal suffrage in Georgia, but the sudden almost electrification of the opposition In the chamber Instantly dimmed any fur ther such prospect, and yet the di vision Is a close one. Tbe test on the proposition came on a motion to tafcteJMfbUl, or rettor,{be companion bills, for there are two constitutional amendments proposed.
