COMMITTEE’S FINDINGS
Two Officers Condemned is Result of
Cotton Association Investigation
at Atlanta.
The committee of the Southern Cot¬
ton Association, which met in Atlanta
to investigate charges against officers
cf the association, made its lindings
Thursday and submitted it to Presi¬
dent Harvie Jordan, who will lay it
before ilie executive committee at the
national association at an early a day
as possible.
The finding of the special commit¬
tee strongly condemns the act of Sec¬
retary Richard Cheatham in speculat¬
ing, even if it was lor another per¬
son, a.s Mr. Cheatham contended.
it also states that it can and no
reasonable excuse for Mr. Cheatham
using the word “secretary” in signing
individual checks, as he did when i
making payments to the bucket shops.
This, it is stated, meets with the
strongest condemnation by the com¬
mittee.
The same findings are made in refer
ence to A. A. Fairchild, manager of
the publicity bureau, who admitted
that he owned stock ‘in a bucket shop.
The committee makes no recommen¬
dation, believing that a simple find¬
ing was all that, was within its power.
By far the spiciest part of the whole
investigation was developed when
star witness Holland Curran was
called upon to testiry before the com¬
mittee. Curran is bookkeeper for R.
Siedenburg, who had a brokerage of¬
fice, .n Atlanta.
wen told to tell all he knew that
could help the investigation, Mr. Cur¬
ran said:
“I will do so with Cheatham's con¬
sent.”
Mr. Cheatham jumped up from his
chair and shaking his finger at the
witness he exclaimed angrily:
‘You are just here for a trick. This
thing has been tried on me before,
and I am tired of it. Y'ou are just
trying to play at the wrong game, do
you understand?”
Mr. Curran flushed up angrily, and
said :
“Then I take Mr. Cheatham’s si¬

Rush Papei*. T
Very little paper has been made of
late years from rags. Vegetable sub¬
stances are employed, as alia, .wood
and straw: the idea has not prevailed
that the wild or cultivated rush can
be employed for this purpose. But
an inventor has ascertained that, when
suitably treated, the plant will pro¬
duce a very white and consistent pa¬
1 per pulp by means of the follow ing
treatment: 1,000 kilograms, of the
green rush, cut up as fine as possible,
is mingled with a caustic lye of 30
deg. B., and boiled in an autoclave
for five or six hours under a pres¬
sure of 6 kilogrammes at 170 deg. O.
The pulp is washed with water, sul¬
phuric acid in suitable quantity add¬
ed, then bleached with chloride of
lime and washed energetically. It is
then suitable for employment in
manufacture of paper.—Le Papier.
lence as consent and I will tell all I
5pnow.”
"I haven’t given my consent,” said
•Cheatham.
Mr. Curran proceeded to tell what
be claimed he knew, and it was that
Mr. Cheatham had bought cotton tu
tures three times at his office.
“He came to the office,” stated the
witness, “and said he wanted to open
an acount. He did so, and in a few
days we asked in what name to put
the account, and he said: ‘Oh, Mike
will do.’ ‘Mike who?’ he was asked,
and he said Jones was a good name,
and so the account now stands on
our books as Mike Jones. I did not
intend to testify in this case until
I read the editorials Mr. Cheatham
had writer) about the men in my
buaiaess, calling them ‘low down.’ I
knew he was low down himself if he
said we were, for he has been deal¬
ing in a double-faced manner. I don't
let people throw mud at me without
throwing some myself.”
Dr. J. M. Crawford took the stand
He said he was a stockholder in the
Piedmont exchange and he was al¬
ways positive that Mr. Cheatham own¬
ed stock, although he had never said
wo directly.
One of the most interesting state¬
ments made by Dr. Crawford, and
which caused some amusement, was:
“Mr. Cheatham told me one day that
his association and paper were one ot
the greatest drawing cards of the
age, and that only that morning he
bad received a pile of orders from
the farmers.”
The witness said he thought the
secretary was acting in a double-faced
manner and ought to be exposed.

“Does it all, hey?” demanded the
woman of the house. “Will it wash i

“Why, no, madam, but—”
“Will it take down, wash, stretch

“No, madam, you have misunder¬
stood the limitations of this machine.”
“Limitations?" demanded the wo¬
man of the house. "I guess it has
limitations. It will he a long time
