ANOTHER CANDIDATE.
Dr. Nunnally, of Newnan, Will
Enter Race For Governor.
Dr. G.*A. Nunnally, pastor of
tbe First Baptist church, of Xew
nan and one ot the best known
ministers in the state, contemplates
•■ntering the race for governor.
Dr. Nunnally state that he has
received hundreds of letters from
all parts of Georgia asking him to
make the race. He says there is
widespread dissatisfaction with the
the manner and spirit of the cam¬
paign.
Dr. Nunnally was born in Wal¬
ton county, educated at the state
university, taught school in his
early manhood, was president of
Mercer university for a term of
years, and for eight years presi¬
dent of the Southern Female col¬
lege at LaGrange, and has been in
the ministry ail the time since the
war. He has been a busy man all
his life, and a thoughtful observer,
and an interested force in all pub¬
lic enterprises and political move¬
ments. His list of acquaintances
is state-wide—knowing more men
personally than, perhaps, any man
in the state. He has a host of
friends, especially the thousands
of young men and woman who
were under him in school. He is
accustomed to the platform, a ver¬
satile and ferceful speaker. He is
possessed of rare executive ability,
and has the courage of his con
victions.
While engaged actively in the
ministry, he has always identified
himself with all the political move
ments that promised good to the
people. Has been a leader for
years in all temperance and educa¬
tional enterprises He is broad¬
minded and tolerant in his views,
and always determined in his con¬
victions, and never hesitated to
champion a cause that commended
itself to his conscience.
Must Keep Out of Politics.
Hon. Harvie Jordon, the able
president ot the Southern Cotton
Association, gave utterance to the
following timely words at the re¬
cent meeting of the 9tate organiza¬
tion in Atlanta: ( i We must not
allow politics to creep into the as¬
sociation. When we do, the fight
will be lost. All organizations of
; similar character that have sprung
up from time to time, have been
wrecked by politics and politic*
mns. We ali know this, and for
my part I am going to fight bit
terl v any effort that may be made
j to inject politics into this associa
tion. I will never submit to this
being done. » J

HOLD COTTON SAYS JORDAN.
President of Cotton Association
Wires Farmers to Stand Pat.
Stand pat!
This is the advice of President
Harvie Jordau, of the Southern
Cotton association, to the tarmers
contained in a telegram from him
from New York. President Jordan
declares that the slump in the
market which occurred Tuesday
after the ginners’ report is but
temporary, and that the price will
react as surely as the suu shiues
4 4 The ginuiug is practically com¬
pleted, aud the government’s esti¬
mate shows beyond dispute a short
crop in all parts of the world, f )
says Mr. Jordan.
< f The mills all sold far ahead,
aud the actual spot cotton is yet
to be bought. The holding move¬
ment is causing the situation to
grow more critical daily for buyers
and spinners.
* 4 Futures may decline tempor¬
arily, but spot cottou is at a pre¬
mium. n
President Jordan’s telegram to
the farmers at this timo will be
read with wide interests. He with
other representatives of the South¬
ern Cotton association is in New
York for the purpose of attending
a conference to which the New
England spinners have invited
them, and he is in position to
know whereof he speaks. His tel¬
egram, in full, received at the At¬
lanta office Wednesday, follows:
‘•The slump in the market which
occurred after yesterday’s ginners*
report is merely temporary and
means nothing. A few thousand
bales mitre or less in the report of
the census department cannot ef¬
fect enormous consumption, which
is vastly in excess of the entire
yield of the crop of 1005.
4 4 The ginning is practically com¬
pleted, and the government’s es¬
timate shows beyond dispute a
short crop in all parts of the world.
The mills are all sold tar ahead,
and the actual spot cottou is yet
to be bought.
i 4 The holding movement is caus¬
ing the situation to grow more
criticai daily for buyers and spin¬
ners. They are exerting every
effort to break the determination
of the farmers to hold the balance
of this crop, but they cannot suc¬
ceed, and will lind themselves
heavy losers after the last round of
this great battle has been fought.
4 • Futures may decline tempora¬
rily, but spot cotton is at a pre¬
mium
* I urge every patriotic southern¬
er to be loyal and true and stand
firm fur higher prices which are
sure to come.
“Let nothing shake your faith
in the situation.
4 4 Our Atlanta office is sending
out thousands of circulars dai
ly to holders who have pledged
their cotton and we shall coutinue
j at short intervals to keep them ad
vised of actual conditions. >»
