COTTON
NEW YORK, July 21.—Offerings were
larger in the cotton market at the opening
today, especially from New Orleans and the
south, with Liverpool th'e principal buyer.
With the exception of June, which was 2
points higher, the general market opened 8
to 25 points lower, and subsequently October
dropped to 34.65 c, December to 32.88 c and
January to 32.15 c, representing declines of
41 to 43 points from last night's close.
Later rallies of about 20 paints from the
bottom were based on local covering and
further persistent buying for Liverpool
account, especially of October contracts.
The midday market, regarding the weekly
government report as bearish, developed
further positive weakness and sold down
to 34.43 for October and 32.65 for Decem
ber. or 63 to 65 points net lower. The July
delivery, however, reflecting light offer
ings and a scattered demand from shorts,
advanced to 42.75, which was a new high
record.
The early afternoon ‘market was very
quiet, but prices ruled fairly steady, at
about 20 points' up from the bottom on a
little covering by traders who sold on
the bearish weekly weather report. De
cember wds up around 32.83 and Januray,
32.16.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, July 21.—The opening
was lower in cotton today, and during the
first hour of business prices fell 36 to 44
points, October landing at 34c. A lower
Liverpool than due, expectations of bearish
weekly crop reports, a somewhat weakened
technical position as the result of the pro
longed buying movement of late, and the
short time movement among Fall River
mills were the main reasons for the decline.
The market retained a steady tone as it
fell.
While it was considered that the weekly
reports on the growing crop had their un
favorable spots, they were regarded as fa
vorable, on the whole, and as Indicating
continued crop improvement. Offerings in
creased after their reading and late In the
morning the list was 65 to 71 points off
from vesterday’s close, October standing
at 33.70.
Late in the day early sellers bought back
a considerable number of contracts and
fresh buying came into the market because
of reports of heavy rains in someportions
of the eastern belt. A sharp recovery of
20 to 30 points from the bottom occurred.
Toward the close prices were at net losses
of 45 to 55 points.

fiirscn, Lllienthal & Co.: Would buy
any good recessions.
E. F. Hutton & Co.: We continue to ad
vise purchases on declines.
S. M. Weld & Co.: We have no strong
opinion and advise looking on for the time
being.
E. W. Wagner A- Co.: Manchester news
is encouraging and we believe is destined
to lead the advance which we think is at
hand. , J , .
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: The markdt is by
no means weak, but the same time it is well
to observe caution in buying at this price
which the trade feel discounts a good deal
in face of general unsatisfactory trade con
ditions.
J. S. Bache A Co.: We feel bullish on
cotton for a long pull but would only buy
on substantial setbacks as there will have
to be some new incentive to encourage spec
ulation to become aggftssive.
THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.
GRAIN
> CHICAGO, July 21.—Fresh breaks In the
price of wheat took place today chiefly
owing to a big increase of the estimated
! yield of wheat in Kansas. Opening prices,
which varied from 3c to 6%c lower, were
followed by a settback for December and
then by a substantial rally all around.
Indications that there would be no rail
strike had a bearish effect on corn. After
opening % to l%c down, the market underc
went a further sag before beginning to re
cover.
Oats were weak in sympathy with other
grain. )
Provisions reflected the decline of cereals.

Tifton Gazette, and W. T. Bacon, of
the Madison Madisonian.
Historical Speeches
It was left for the evening meet
ing at the courthouse, however, to
produce the prize bits of oratory of
the day. Judge W. J. Millican, of
Carrollton, delivered an address on
“Carroll County From a Historical
Standpoint,’’ which was intensely in
teresting to his audience with its '
vast fund of information on the
mother of Georgia “counties.”
The other speech of the evening
was by William G. Sutlive, of the
Savannah Press. Mr. Sutlive’s sub
ject was “John Carroll, of Carroll
ton,” and not only was it a bril
liant eulogy of this signer of the
Declaration of Independence, but so
intelligently packed with pointers
that kept the audience in an uproar.
Among other business matters
transacted by the association was a
recommendation by a committee of
four, composed of Hal Stanley, of
Dublin; Otis Brumby, of Marietta;
Paul Harber, of Commerce, and Rush
Burton, of Lavinia, that the mem
bers of the association affiliate them
selves with the National Editorial
association.
The convention also heard an in
morning were on “Country Newspa
situation by Royal Daniel, of the
Quitman Free Press, in which Mr.
Daniel stated that newsprint short
age is more critical than ever.
Two interesting speeches this
morning were on “County Newspa
pers and Politics," by Will Brunner,
of the Washington News-Reporter,
and “Business Reasons for Member
ship in the Georgia Press Associa
tion,” by P. T. McCutcheon, of the
Franklin News-Banner.
Jack Patterson, the Falstaff of the
Georgia Press association, has had
conferred upon him a new title, that
of the kissing king, or the Prince of
Smackywax, by his friend, W. C.
Sutlive, of the Savannah Press.
Mr. Sutlive so proclaimed Jack m
the presence of his fellow members
anj several hundred citizens of Car
roll county gathered last night at
the courthouse to hear Mr. Sutlive >
speak on “Charles Carroll, of Car-1
rollton.” , '
“I was discussing the Carrollton >
several days ago in At
lanta with Jack,” said Mr. Sutlive in
the course of his remarks, “and he
informed me that he used to live
here. Tn fact,’ he said, ‘I have kiss
ed every woman in Carrollton.’
"‘What,’ I exclaimed, amazed.
" ‘Yes,’ continued Jack, with the
light of fond reminiscence in his
eyes, ‘I have kissed every woman in f
Carrollton.’
“I did not believe it. I told Jack
I did not believe it, and when he in
sisted this was true, I made him
a wager. I bet my watch against
his watch that he has not kissed ev
ery woman in Carrollton.
" ‘But how are we going to de
cide the bet?’ asked Jack.
" ‘That’s easy,’ I replied. ‘When
we get to Carrollton, I’ll just ask
them.’ ”
Mr. Sutlive paused while a death
ly silence reigned. The hush was so
great you could fairly hear the
blushes of Mr. Pattjerson, seated
prominently on the ffont row.
“Now, continued Mr. Sutlive. rais
ing his voice, “I wish to decide my
bet. If there is any lady in the
house who has never been kissed by
Jack Patterson, will she please
rise?"
Not a soul moved.
“Det rde plead with you.” repeat
ed Mr. Sutlive. “If there is any girl
or woman here whom Mr. Patterson
has not kissed, stand up."
Mr. Sutlive raised his arms in
despair. He reached for his pocket.
He extracted his watch. He fairly
hurled it in Mr. Patterson’s direc
tion. “Here it is. Jack, you win.’’
The Georgia Press association to
day paid a tribute to those of its
members who have died during the
past year. They are but two in
number and both of the same paper—
George W. Long and James H. Cal
laway, of the Macon Telegraph. Ap
propriate memorial resolutions, drawn
by a committee headed by Miss Em
ily Woodward, were read and ordered
spread on the permanent minutes of
the association.
To Ask Mclntosh Memorial
The Georgia legislature will be
asked at its present session to appro
priate enough money to build in Car
rollton a monument to General Wil
liam Mclntosh, and to place a marker
on his grave on the Chattahoochee
river. This was announced "last night
by Judge Millican in his masterly j
address on the history of Carroll !
county. General Mclntosh was the
half-bred chieftain of the Southern J
Creeks, whose loyalty and bravery in ■
the early days of Georgia secured j
for the government the Indian treaty, j
ceding to the United States all the
land southeast of the Mississippi.
His services in this respect and his
valor under General Jackson in the
Indian wars have never been recog
nized either by his country or by his i
state. Judge Millican paid a magnifi- I
cent tribute to General Mclntosh, I
and many of the editors promised !
their help in getting the appropria
tion through the general assembly.
CAPITAL REMOVAL !
RESOLUTION GOES
OVER TO TUESDAY
I
I
The rules, commitee of the house
on Wednesday morning postponed Un- ■
( j til next Tuesday afternoon eonsid- l
| eration of the resolution by the I
Brooks delegation to*place upon the'
i calender of the house as a special [
order for the purpose of ,a motion f
to disagree to the committee’s ad- I
Verse report on the senate resolu- j
tion submitting capital removal to
the Democratic state primary.
On next "Tuesday afternoon when
the rules committee takes up the
resolution ten minutes- will be given
to the Bibb county representatives
and ten minutes to the Fulton repre

it. If the rules committee then ad

will be virtually no possible chance

Although Representative John Y.

PROHIBITION PARTY
OPENS ITS THIRTEENTH
ANNUALCONVENTION
(Continued Irom Page 1)
beat the Republican party to it by
eight years and the Progressive party
by thirty-eight years. We have op
posed polygamy since 1876; the Dem
ocratic party never opposed that in
stitution in national platform or con
vention. We have opposed the white
slave traffic since 1876; # no other po
| litical party ever opposed that insti
| tution in either national platform or
I convention. We have advocated unl
form marriage and divorce laws since
1888; no other political party has
ever championed that ‘issue in na
tional platform or convention.
Stood for Income Tax
“We have stood for income tax
since 1896; the Republican party nev
er favored it and the Democratic
party not until 1908, or twelve years
thereafter. We opposed child labor
in 1908 and thus beat the Progres
sives to it by a period of four years.
We favored the conservation of nat
ural resources in 1908 and thus beat
the Democrats and Progressives by
four years.
“As a matter of fact, we have pre
ceded every other political party of
importance, Democratic, Progressive
or Republican, in the championship
of every vital issue during our lifty
one years of history. Haven’t w y e
been some party? What would the
American people have done without
us? Where would this country be
i today had it not been for the exlst-
I ence of an organization which was
brave enough and pure enough and
strong enough to give birth to ideals
unpopular and seemingly weak in
their incipiency but all-powerful in
their onward and conquering march.
“Whatever else we may remem
ber, let us remember this —that we
have stood for national prohibition
since 1869. No other political party
has ever championed that issue in
national platform or convention.
“Not only have we been the first to
champion practically all of the fun
damental questions of the last half
century as they are recognized today
both in statute and constitution, but
we have been the first upon the firing
line whether by referendum or party
' action in most campaigns for state
prohobition, war prohibition, or na-
I tional prohibition.
! “For example, the Prohibition party
called a convention of 2,000 delegates
in the state of California in Novem
ber of 1913 and launched a campaign
for California dry against the eager
protests of the conservative non-par
tisan forces. This campaign was
conducted, was followed by a second
campaign and by a third campaign.
In the last campaign California rati
fied and at the same time defeated
the Rominger wine and beer bill by
an overwhelming majority.”
Tells of Work in 1918
After mentioning several other
state campaigns, Chairman Hinshaw
continued: “In 1918 the Prohibition
party it was in conjunction with the
National Dry Federation that launch*
ed a campaign for war prohibition
after the same had been defeated by
the interposition of the chief execu
tive of the lantj. We got chambers
of commerce, commercial clubs,
granges and church organizations all
over the land to petition both houses
of congress for this measure. The
Prohibition party it was that fur
nished the man in the person of
Charles H. Randall to frame the war
prohibition bill which passed both
houses of congress and became a law
The Prohibition party it was that
furnished the man in the person ot
Mr. Randall to become the author of
the law prohibiting the transporta
tion of liquors and liquor advertising
from W£t territory into dry territory.
“The Prohibition party furnished
the paper and printer’s ink in the
campaign for ratification in 1918
which reached a million and forty
seven thousand homes. The Prohibi
tion party it was that adopted the
felogan, ‘War prohibition in this ses
sion of congress and ratification or
the' federal admendment within
twelve months.’ The slogan in its
two-fold sense was realized. There
were others more conservative who
said the slogan was unwise and im
possible of achievement.
“The Prohibition party it was that
in the spring of 1920 made the state
ment, ‘All parties should adopt prohi
bition planks in their national plat
forms this year.’ We accordingly sent
•252 000 communications from national
headquarters to that many , local,
state and national leaders to this end
Here on the table before me is a part
of the result. We have gone through
I them and they represent something
' like 800.000 people.”
: ANTI-SAEOON LEADERS
! READY TO CONSIDER PLANS
: WASHINGTON, July 21.—Anti-
Saloon league leaders were
! ine in Washington today for a mee. ; -
in°- of the league executive council
which will consider campaign plans
here tomorrow.
Ernest Cherrington, general man
aoer of the Anti-Saloon league, said
Ht is uncertain whether the league
i will declare against either presiden
i tial candidate. ’ .
“We will adopt plans for the Presi
dential and congressional cam
paigns," Cherrington said.
there is no basis for the report that
we will declare against either Gov-
I ernor Cox or Senator Harding.
i SHLPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
' NEW ORLEANS, July 21.—The nearness
of the July condition report and the knowl
edge that it must be bearish compared both
| with last month and last year, was respon
! sible for considerable selling out of long
cotton today Wnd a reactionary tendency
■ which increased following the reading of
: the weekly crop reports. They were mo<l-
I crately bullish, indicating continued crop
' improvement and confirming bearish im
j pressions regarding what has happened dur
{ ing private bureau reports on condition and
j until the pending bureau day is out of the
I way we are inclined to think that the mar
ket will not advance as readily as it has of
I late.
postponement until next Tuesday.
In order to bring the resolution to
final and conclusive vote it is neces
sary for the Bibb delegation to have
it assigned twice as a special order —•'
the first being an assignment for the
purpose of a motion to disagree to
the adverse report of the commit
tee on the state of the republic,
which acted upon the resolution last
week; and the second being an as
signment of the resolution for a
final vote in the event the house
should disagree to the committee’s
adverse report.
Both assignments will require a
two-thirds vote of the house, and It
is not likely that capital removal can
muster that much strength.
