NEW YORK, July 28.—With only a mod
erate trade, the cotton market had rather
* firm opening today with prices unehanged
te 13 points higher based on support from
southern commission houses and Wall street,
and on the firmness of cables due to Man
chester buying. After the opening, prices
advanced 16 to 25 points over last night,
■with October at 32.66, and December 31.10,
mainly on covering, but reacted about 7 to
10 points from this level under the report
es a southern cotton house, making condi
tion 75.5, or an Increase of 4.1 per cent
over last month.
The only feature in the earlyk afternoon
was a steadier tone to October contracts on
covering orders, which advanced it a point
over last night’s close and about 34 points
up from the lowest of the day. The later
positions were firm and 25 to 60 points net
• higher, December selling at 31.25 c, January
30.50 c and March 30.25 c.
Folowing the publication of the weekly
crop report, the market weakened to 32.17
for October and 30 .«5 for December, or
from 5 to 33 points under the previous
night’s close, but later recovered about 10
points on a demand from shorts and new
buying due to a belief that the market is
amoftjerably oversold.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, July 28.—Early swings
in the price of cotton today carried the mar
ket both above and below the level of yes
terday's close. Professional traders were
with the market on the theory that it was
oversold and their buying, .combined with
the effect of a good Liverpool, caused ad
vances of 19 to 44 points around the first
call. A better weather map than expected
led to new selling under which the market
lost most of its advance and landed at the
<r.d of the first hour of business 19 points
down to 14 points up, compared with yes
i terday’s last quotations. March was the
• strongest month and It traded up to 29.60
after which it reacted to 29.30.
The weekly crop reports were considered
fairly favorable but when shorts tried to
take advantage of the soft spot which they
considered would follow the reports they
bid the market up on themselves. The ring
l>ecaine very active and prices firmed tip
rapidly, late in the morning rising to levels
23 to 52 points higher than the close of
vesterday. October touched 31.53 .
March continued to widen its gains, but ,
other months did not make new highs. ;
March rose to 30.01 c, where it stood 85
points over yesterday’s close. Toward the
close the market became more ' irregular
than ever, shewing a net loss of 5 points
on October and a apt gain of 5 points on
March.

UNIVERSITY OF
GEORGIA IN DIRE
NEED OF FUNDS
That the prestige and usefulness
of the University of Georgia, oldest
state university in existence, will be
seriously hampered unless the pre
vailing acute financial condition is
relieved without delay, is the state
ment of a recent bulletin on the
needs of the institution called “The
Protection of Georgia’s Future.”
Although the college has shown a
remarkable growth in its student
bodies for many years, the bulletin
emphasizes the fact that no appro
priation for buildings and extensions
of the present buildings on the
campus has been authorized since
1906, when the new agricultural col
lege was erected.
It is shown that the last appro
priation for a dormitory was made
nineteen years ago, when the student
body numbered less than 350. “To
day,” continues the bulletin, “with
an attendance three an'tl a half times
as great, the dormitories are over
flowing with three and four men
to each room, and Athens cannot offer
inexpensive rooms to the students
Who are anxious to enter.”
The present chapel has a seating
capacity of 624, only one-half of the
students enrolled, it is further point
ed. The the physics department has
reached the limit of its available
space, and a new abso
lutely necessary. The Denmark din
ing hall is described as being en
tirely inadequate to meet the de
mands upon it. The lecture rooms
are too crowded to allow the most
efficient work on the part of students
and instructors.
The bulletin declares that the most
urgent need of all is more money for
the salaries of the faculty. The pres
ent salaries are not high enough to
enable Chancellor David Barrcw to
maintain his present strong corps
of . instructors for a great while
longer. “It is only by the noblest
patriotism and love of th* school
that they have remained this long,”
says the bulletin. Resignations now
are pouring in, and others hive sig
nified their intention of resigning at
the end of the next term untess an
increased salary scale is made ef
fective.
With this condition of affairs fac
ing “Georgia,” alumni from all parts
of the state are preparing to launch
soon a million-dbjlar campaign in
the school’s interest, and whole
hearted support of this drive is ear
nestly appealed for in the bulletin
Preliminary steps toward the be
ginning of this campaign were taken
in the 1920 commencement, and al
tl ough no definite announcement has
yet been made, it is expected that
a state-wide organization will be per
fected with a view to raising the
entire quota within the few
weeks.
State Veterinarian
Denies Charges of
Misconduct in Office
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, state veter
inarian, on Tuesday afternoon, before
the special legislative committee
making an investigation of his office,
made his formal answer to the
charges of misconduct made against
him by Representative Green B Wil
°f y° rth count y- The commit
tee also heard testimony from sev
eral witnesses subpenaed by the
Prosecution to uphold charges that
Ur. Bahnsen lias sold hog* cholera
serum to farmers at a profit to him
self, that he has hampered the de
yelopment of the live stock industrv
in Georgia and that he has discrimi
nated against the State College of
•Agriculture in the distribution of
hog cholera serum.
Responding to the charges against
m lm ’ P r ', Bahn sen, at the outset of
Tuesdays hearing, denied the alle
gations specifically and in toto. He
declared that he has been obliged
X. USe .P h te < \ w ?} f V nds to purchase
serum for distribution in Georgia be
cause the state laws do not permit
the use of the state’s money sos
this purpose and becailse it is the
XV furn . ish the farmers
with protection against hog cholera.
He denied that he had discriminated
against the State College of Agricul
ture and insisted that the charges
brought against. , him at this time
were instig f ed’ by parties interested
m the old feud between him and Dr
Andrew M. Soule, president of the
state college.
Several citizens of Lowndes.
Thomas and Colquitt counties testi
fied against Dr. Bahnsen, asserting
that the state veterinarian had failed
to furnish experts to train men in
the innoculation of hogs; that he re
fused to test live stock for tubercu
losis on request of owners and that
he sold serum considerably above the
market price.

“Oh. I know,” Ralph said trium

himself vehemently denied, in the
course of the convention, the asser
tion that he made a combine with
Senator Smith. It will also be re
called that Senator Smith’s support
ers were not at all pleated with the
action of the convention, by a bare
majority, in opposing the League of
Nations ‘brought back from Paris by
President Wilson.’ What a majority
of the Smith delegates wanted was
a statement opposing the League of
Nations 'as brought back.’ Mr. Wat
,son himself made the motion to ad
journ when the word was passed
to him that the Hoke Smith forces |
were about to introduce a resolu
tion making clear their exact posi
tion.
“In view of these facts,” contin
ues the News, “the friends of Sena
tor Smith are citing Mr. Watson’s
entrance into the race as evidence
of the truth of their assertion that
there was no combine and no agree
ment and no political bargain con
cerning future line-ups.
Senator Stands on Platform
“The fact of the matter is that
Mr. Watson is running for the sen
ate to represent his viewpoint on
the League of Nations. That view
point is absolute opposition to the
covenant in any form. He refused
to compromise his viewpoint in the
Atlanta convention, and by better
floor leadership, he managed to ob
tain the adoption of a resolution
more nearly coinciding "with, h’ s
views than the views of Senator
Smith. Just as he refused to com
promise then, so he refuses to com
promise now. He hates the League
of Nations and hats its author. Presi
dent Wilson, and he is running be
cause he believes a majority of the
people agree with his view.”
“It is therefore plain,” continues
the News, “that the Watson candi
dacy and the Hoke Smith candidacy
represent anything but" a trade. They
did not trade in the Atlanta conven
tion; they have not traded since.
When Palmer refused to accept one
third of the Frisco delegates. Smith
and Watson took it all and divided
it all. They likewise joined in nam
ing W. J. Vereen to the national
committee. Further than that they
did not go. When it came to reso
lutions concerning the League of Na
tions and other national questions,
Mr. Watson came off with more ad
vantage tjian Senator Smith.
“Mr. Watson stands today on the
League of Nations where he has al
ways stood—against it absolutely.
Senator Smith stands today where he
has stood since the controversy
started, and where a majority of the
Democratic senators have stood all
along—in favor of the league with
substantial reservations. •
“The platform adopted by the San
Francisco convention,” says the
News, “satisfies Senator Smith be
cause it declares for the League of
Nations with reservations making
clear the American obligations,
which is another way of saying res
erx r ations which safeguard American
interests. The League of Nations
has been threshed out by the Demo
cratic party in convention assembled,
and a declaration has been made,
and that cfeclaration endorses the
position of Senator Smith and other
Democratic senators who favored
reservations, and Senator Smith ac
cepts it' as satisfactory.”

extending for twelve months the
life of the Aldridge-Vreeland act,
by which banks could issue their
notes for circulation, and he also
carried in his amendment a re
duction of the tax on these
notes, so that the banks could
afford to issue them.
His plan was adopted, and the
banks issued four hundred and
fifty millions of currency, which
carried the country through with#
an ample currency, until the
federal reserve banks were ih
operation, when the issue of
federal reserve bank notes fur
nished thee urrency necessary to
supply the demand. But for this
amendment by Senator Smith to
the original bill we could scarce
ly have escaped a panic.
His fights for cotton markets
did much to save the price of
cotton during the world war, and
those in every line of occupation
were benefited by it.

ANOTHER PALMER MAN
URGES SMITH’S ELECTION
John N. Watts, of Shellman. Ran
dolph county, a prominent banker
and one of the most influential citi
zens of Southwest Georgia, has join
ed the ranks of former Palmer men
who urge the re-election of Senator
Hoke Smith.
Mr. "Watts, who has served as a
state senator from the Eleventh dis
trict, in a card to The Journal, de
clares that, although “very much
against Senator Smith in the presi
dential primary, we need and must
have him in the senate.”
His card follows;
Editor Atlanta Journal:
I regard the present senatorial
campaign a§ of unusual import
ance to Georgia and the south.
Whether the Republicans win in
the national contest or not, we
are sure to have a revival of the
old force bill menace as the
Anthony amendment, certain of
adoption now, throws wide open
the gate for a program of na
tional control of elections in the
southern states, or black belt,
that has been in the public mind
since Grant's administration.
I was very much against Sen
ator Smith’s entering the presi
dential preferential primary and
voted against him. but we need
him and must have him in the
Senate. It is important to
Georgia and to the south to have
experienced men of ability and of
: proven Interest in this vital ques
tion of suffrage sure to come to
the front in the next year or sen
. atorial term.
As an active Palmer supporter.
I beg those who were associated
with me in that contest or with
whom I affiliated to consider the
Q=J 0
New Question!
1. Was Joan of Arc burned at the

2. Did the United States make
much headway in the manufacture
of dyes during the war?
3. How is the United States
standard time calculated?
4. What is meant by pairing in
reference to congress?
5. Who was Peggy O'Neill?
6. On what basis was the zero'of
Fahrenheit’s thermometer fixed?
7. Is it true, that the ex-kaiser had

9. What is the Matterhorn?
10. Is it necessary to put wine

Questions and Answers
1. Q. How should sunburn be
treated?
1. A. Add a levey tablespoonful of
boric acid powder and twenty drops
of carbolic acid to a half pint of hot
water. Put in bottle and shake well.
The solution should be dabbed on the
inflamed skin with a small piece of
cotton or sprayed on with an atom
izer. Apply every half hour if neces
sary. Do not rub sunburned areas.
If no medicine is available, use cold
compresses. If blisters form, do not
open them. Atfer a time new skin
is formed and the blisters break.
Q. When was the greatest amount
of railroad construction accom
plished?
2. A. The great railroad building
period was between 1880 and 1900,
when 100,078 miles of new railroad
were built. Many of these were not
profitable, since traffic had to be built
up, and an average of about twenty
flue railroads were in the hands of
the receivers during this period.
From 1900 to 1910 was a period of
great railroad prosperity and the
number of roads in the hands of re
ceivers annually averaged about teji.
The increase in mileage between 1900
and 1910 was 47,083 miles. Beginning
with 1910 the number of receiver
ships increased, and between 1910 and
1918 averaged thirteen annually. The
1887,- when 12,878 miles were con

built, which is the lowest new
mileage since 1861.

HOKE SMITH’S OPPORTUNITY
TO UNITE DEMOCRATS
The card written by J. K. Orr, of
Atlanta, urging the Importance of
Senator Smith’s re-election to the
business and agricultural interests
of the state, has been widely read
and commented on. Bwo cards re
ceived by The Journal Wednesday,
commenting on Mr. Orr’s card, will
be read with interest. One of them
is from Judson McElmurray, of
Waynesboro, a widely known and
influential Georgian, and the other,
from Representative J. L. Sweat, ot'
Ware county. These cards follow:
Mr. McElmurray’s Card
Editor The Journal: I am here
with asking you to give this article
the same prominent that you did
the one written by Mr. J. K. Qrr in
your issue of July 27 entitled, “An
Open Letter Concerning Georgia in
the U. S. Senate.” Mr. Orr says.
"Senator Smith is conceded to be
one of the biggest-brained and most
forceful men in the senate today.
At this time Georgia needs to pull
together. It should avoid every un
necessary conflict and conserve all
its energies to keep in the forefront
as the Empire State of the South.”
We agree with Mr. Orr entirely as
to the truths stated above, and we
believe every true and honest Demo
crat in Georgia would be willing to
vote for Senator Smith if he would
help us keep the old party pure; de
nounce Tom Watsonism, Tom Hard
wickism and every other kind of ism.
Let the “sure enough” Democrats
know, in no uncertain way, that he
is for them and that he will be
fighting side by side with them to
keep out all radicalism and ever up
hold the solidity of trie Sunny-
South and the Democratic party.
Let Senator Hoke Smith come out
and say these things, and we will
show you how quickly we will send
him back to Washington. This ar
ticle is written in all seriousness
■and I trust it may be the means of
opening somebody’s eyes and putting
all good and true Democratc on a
friendly footing once more. There
is plenty of time and various ways
for the senator to get right. I know
he will be compelled to knuckle a
little and acknowledge the errors he
has committed. But
It takes a man, aside to throw
The vanity that’s strong—
Confessing, ‘ ’Twas my Fault, I kpow,
I’m sorry; I was wrong.’ -
JUDSON McELMURRAY.
"Waynesboro, Gq., July 28, 1920.
Judge Sweat’s Card
The following card from Judge J.
L. Sweat, member of the legislature
from Ware county, was received by
The Journal Wednesday:
"Editor The Atlanta Journal:
“As an organized Democrat, al
ways supporting the nominee of the
party, indorsing its platform of prin
ciples and striving to uphold the pol
icies of the administration, I trust
I will be pardoned for soqnding a
note of warning to the Democracy of
Georgia in these critical times.
“While I was opposed to Hoke
Smith as a candidate for governor,
yet recognizing his great ability and
fitness for the position of United
States senator. I favored his election
to that office. Had he kept in line
with the president’s administration
and had not opposed the administra
tion candidate in the Georgia presi
dential primary, he would have no
doubt have been returned this year
to the United States senate without
serious opposition in the party, but
owing to the contrary course pursued
by him his election is not only made
doubtful, but the true interests of
the Democratic party are jeopardized
In this state.
“For Thomas E. Watson to be
elected United States senator and
Thomas W. Hardwick governor at
the same time, would be a calamity
to the state, and yet existing condi
tions indicating a possibility even
of such a result.”are truly alarming,
as they are both not only avowed
enemies of President Wilson, the
great leader and. friend of the party,
and his administration of the affairs
3. Q. What time is it by land time
at “eight bells?”
3. A. On shipboard, "bells” mark
the half hour. Four, 8 and 12 o’clock
are marked by eight bells; 4:30, 8:30
and 12:30 by one bell, 1. 5 and 9 by
two bells, and «o on until eight bells
which marks the end of the ordinary
watch. z
4. Q. Must a parrot’s tongue be
split that it may learn to talk?
4. A. The biological survey says
that this is unnecessary. The bird
may begin to learn to talk when
three or four months old.
5. Q. —Why is the sun hotter at
noon than five hours later?
5. A. —When the sun’s rays strike
directly they produce more heat than
when. they strike indirectly, just as
a direct blow has more force than
an indirect blow 7 . At noon these blows
from the sun are most direct.
6. Q. —How much of our farm
produce is exported?
6. A.—During the year 1919, the
export of farm products amounted to
about one-fourth of the total and
was valued at $4,250,000,000.
7. Q. —How much do-the tusks of
elephants weigh?
7. A. —An average tusk weighs
about sixty pounds, but some are
found weighing as much as 170
pounds.
8. Q.—Who was the first to use the
caterpillar tractors in the World
and where were they made?
8. A. —-The caterpillar tractors
were first used by the British. They
were for the most part manufactured
by a firm in Peoria. 111. The com
pany is still making such tractors.
9. Q. —Who writes “Ideas of
Plain Country Women?”
9. A.—-Juliette V. Strauss is the au
thor of*this feature. She was born
in Rockville, Ind., in 1863, and was
educated in the public schools. She
began writing for the Rockville Trib
une, which was owned by her hus
band. She had contributed to In
diana and various other newspapers
and magazines.
10. Q. —Will gorillas live in cap
tivity?"
10. A. —The gorilla is very difficult
to capture and is hard to care for
in captivity. The, superintendent of
the National Zoological park in Wash
ington says that there are no go
rillas in captivity in the United
States.
of the nation, but are truly regarded
as enemies of the Democratic party
as well.
“Now with Hoke Smith, not only
loyally supporting the nominees of
the national convention, but heartily
indorsing the national Democratic
platform, thereby bringing himself
in line with President Wilson, and
being thoroughly devoted to the best
interests of Georgia, would it not
be well for the different factions of
the party of tills state to unite in
his support and thus assure the de
feat of that arch of the party,
Thomas E. Watson, and indirectly
Contribute to the defeat of Hardwick
also?
“If besides what Senator Smith
has already announced, he can and
will, more fully satisfy the true
Democracy of Georgia as to his pres
ent position, could he not be trusted
and should not all prejudice in a
truly patriotic spirit be laid aside
and Georgia saved from its impend
ing disgrace?
“For the present, I am uncom
mitted. but after hearing further
from Senator Smith and becoming
thoroughly convinced, I shall stand,
ready to join others in returning
him to the senate, and let the state
and nation receive the benefit of
his ripe experience and mature
judgment.”

RAILROADS COST
U.S. $100,000,000 IN
MONTH OF APRIL
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building*.)
BY THEODORS TILLER
WASHINGTON. D. C., July 27.—A
statement of railway earnings and ex
penses for the month of April, com
piled by the interstate commerce
commission, shows that the govern
ment lost because of railroad opera
tion for'that month approximately
$100,000,000. Only the south showed
an operations credit.
The carriers themselves showed an
operations deficit of $2(5,881,485. To
this sum must be added the govern
ment guarantee, which amounts to
approximately $75,000,000 monthly, or
$904,000,000 per annum. This guar
antee, or rental, as it was called
during the period of government con
trol, was made by the former rail
road administration, and is effective
until September 1 next.
The fact that the roads showed a
deficit in operation for April, this de
ficit being the largest shown for any
month of the year, means a govern
ment outlay to meet guarantee and
deficit of more than $100,000,000 for
the month. For the first four months
