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.

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.

Bank acceptances, 6%, 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. Los Angeles Man Says He Is Chaloner and Will Release 4 Big Story y DOS ANGELES, Cal., July 28.

A. Chilton, Compton, 1a.,” has telegraphed New York newspapers that he will release a “big story” today at 3 p. m. One year ago today, he said, he had declared a seven year war against the "lunacy trust.” He in timated that the “revelations” today will deal with the progress of his fight. “How many commandments did the Lord give to Moses?” inquired his father of little six-year-old Ralph upon his return from Sunday school.

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.” COL7w: L. PEEL SAYS HOKE SMITH’S WORK AVERTED MONEY PANIC (Continued from Page 1) 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. We need him in the senate. . W. L. PEEL.

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 s tiike 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 some of the walls of Jerusalem torn down when he visited that city? 8. Does the money collected in tolls pay the operating expenses of the Panama canal? 9. What is the Matterhorn? 10. Is it necessary to put wine away with bottles laid ■ on their sides? 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 year “of greatest new mileage was etructed. In 1918 only 721 miles were built, which is the lowest new mileage since 1861. importance to all of us of keep ing in the senate this man of proven ability and strength. JOHN N. WATTS. Shellman, Ga. 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.” “This, July 27, 1920.

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.
