COTTON
NEW YORK, Aug. 4.—The feature in the
cotton market at the opening today was the
heavy buying of October and December by
brokers supposed to be operating for Japan
ese interests. The purchases were esti
mated at from 20,0v0 to 25,000 bales in the
aggregate, sending the price of October up
to 31.02, and December to 30.25, or 18 to
28 points net higher. Later months respond
ed only partially to the advance in these po
sitions, however, and as soon as th elnitial
buying orders had been executed, the mar
ket weakened owing to the continued weak
ness of foreign exchange, reported curtail
ment in the clothing trade and \avorabie
weather conditions in the south. October
soon broke to 30.63 and December to 29.65,
with the general list selling about 20 to 47
points net lower.
' Liverpool was also a buyer of October
during the early trading and there were
rallies during the middle of the morning
followed by very nervous and irregular fluc
tuations. The stronger technical position
was reflected in covering on the declines,
but offerings increased on advances and
the market sold off after the publication of
the favorable weekly weather report. This
wai the sixth favorable report in succes
sion and was considered reassuring in con
nection with its references to the boll
weevil. December sold around 29.85 early
in the noon hour, or about 12 points net
lower .while later months shoked net losses
of 28 to 35 points.
The market was less active during the
afternoon with the tone rather steadier on
covering, particularly in the case of the
near months. December sold up to 30.30, or
33 points net higher, while latest deliveries
held within a few points of last night’s
closing.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.—Better cables
than due caused a rise of 6 to 7 points
around the first call in the cotton market
today, but heavy selling almost immediately
appeared, as the result of the further fall
ing in the rates of foreign exchange and an
unfavorable view of European politics. Prices
slumped to levels 18 to 25 points under the
close of yesterday, October dropping from
29.72 to 29.40. Heavy realizing by shorts
appeared and at the end of the first hour
of trading the qiarket stood 11 to 30 points
over yesterday’s final prices, October rising
to 29.85.
The weekly crop reports were better than
expected, failing to show extensive deteri
oration in any division of the belt. For a
short time the market sagged in a moder
ite way, but this encouraged realizing by
shorts on a large scale, furnishing a de
mand on which it finally bulged to new high
levels. Toward noon October traded up to
‘,0.09, and the list stood at net gains of 21
to 44 points.
The rise on October continued until that
month was at 30.18 c, a net advance of 53
points, but other months did not make new
high levels. Undoing of straddle trades in
a large way brought about a most irregu
lar market and toward the close prices
were 20 points up to 20 points down com
pared with yesterday’s close.
Closed steady, at net 7 points up to 28
down.

GIVES SUPPORT
TO HOKE SMITH
The Pike County Journal, puhli. h
ed at Zebulon, has joined the Hoke
Smith forces and in this week’s edi
tion will come out squarely for the
re-election of the senator. Informa
tion to this effect is contained in a
letter to The Journal from J. M.
Head, editor of the Pike county pa
per.
.Editor Head declares that while he
has not agreed entirely with Sena
tor Smith in all of his public acts,
he feels that the best interests and
traditions of the Democracy of Geor
gia will be preserved and perpetuat
ed through his re-election to the
senate.
The Pike County Journal is one of
the best edited and most influential
weekly publications in middle Geor
gia, and its declaration for the re
election of Senator Smith brings to
his support a force that will make
itself felt in the senatorial cam.;
paign.
Editor Head’s letetr to The Jour
nal, commenting upon the senator
ial campaign, remarks that Senator
Smith unquestionably is one of the
big, outstanding figures of tne coun
try, whose services in the senate
Georgia can ill afford to lose dur
ing the reconstruction period fol
lowing the world war.
"Senator Smith is better equipped
and better able to represent the
state .and render us aid during these
times than any other man in Geor
gia ,and he should be returned to
the senate,” writes the editor.

CoFn and Fig clubs are here from
all over the state in attendance upon
the short course, which opened Mon

“YOU’RE A LIAR,”
EX-SOLDIER YELLS
AT T. E. WATSON
FORT VALLEY, Ga„ August 4.—-
Plans of Hardwick and Watson sup
porters for a big open air meeting
here Tuesday were thwarted by a
downpour of rain, and the meeting
had to be held the school audi
torium. The audience was esti
mated at 1,900, the majority of whom
were from out of town.
Mr. Hardwick, who spoke first, be
gan bv quoting the scripture, "Lo,
the night hath ended and the morn
ing comes,” and he said one-man
power has ended.’ He attacked the
Wilsen administration, said four men
around a council table would change
the maps so grown people would
have to study geography again, ac
cusing them of professing to accom
plish what Christianity had failed
to do in two thousand years. He
dwelt mostly on national affairs.
He said there were bosses in Geor
gia whom, when he became governor,
he would oust. He claimed twice
to have run a steamroller over the
Clark Howell bunch and said he
would give them Hell in Septem
ber.
Several ladies in the assembly
heard him say he told the San Fran
cisco folk to do as they d please
and go to hell.
He asked support not as a favor,
but for the sake of civil justice. He
spoke of Wilson supporters as new
fangled Democrats and Wilson wor
shipers. Said the people needed less
law, more liberty.
He declared the legislature has
“got Georgia in a devil of a mess,
robbing Peter to pay>. Paul and bor
rowing of Paul” till both were broke.
He made fun of Walker’s “Red,
White and Blue speech,” and said he
couldn’t be a “rubber stamp senator,”
neither would he be a “rubber stamp
governor.”
Frequent applause accompanied the
speech.
Following Mr. Hardwick, Mr. Wat
son spoke. He said many went to
the springs of daily journalism for
refreshment. He told of the Are
chunk kept burning by the Indians
and likened it to the fire of liberty for
which he has wonted and sacrificed
to keep burning for five years. He
denied anyone to find one word of
his, written or spoken, which was
against liberty.
He dwelt upon the right of free
speech and followed this by con
demning the treatment of soldiers in
Georgia camps, speaking of Camp
Gordon officers as brutal and “caus
ing your sons to suffer and die.”
An ex-soldier in the back of the
auditorium said: “You’re a liar,”
and it looked as if a riot would fol
low.
Watson made fun of the words »of
Pershing at Lafayette’s tomb, say
ing he didn’t say them in the first
place.
He spoke of Hardwick as the next
governor.
In defense of his war record, he
said he spent $3,600 to “give you the
chance to vote.” He said he had $2,-
000 worth of Liberty Bonds and had
lost S3OO on them.
Merchants of South
To Meet m Atlanta
On August 12-13-14
Unless all signs go wrong, Atlanta
is going to be host to the biggest
gathering of merchants on August
12, 13 and 14 that has ever gathered
in the ctiy at one time, for during
the three days, the Atlanta Mer
chants and Manufacturers’ associa
tion will revive its annual Mer
chants’ week. Invitations to over
10,000 merchants in the southeast
have been extended, and at least 2,000
are expected to attend.
A movement to form a merchants’
association will be launched at the
only business meeting to be held,
Thursday morning. Norman H. John
son, of Richmond, Va., secretary of
the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods
association, has been* engaged to
outline the proposed movement, and
as he has successfully organized sev
eral similar organizations, it is con
fidently predicted that the association
will be forced.
Atlanta wholesale houses and man
ufacturers’ are “dolling up” their
stores in anticipation of the coming
merchants and will have all of their
lines attractively displayed for their
inspection.
Following the business meeting
Thursday morning, the merchants
will be taken to Lakewood park,
where a monster barbecue will be
served.
Retailers in all parts of the south
east are invited, and it is to be hoped
that as many as possible will attend.

Fine Peach Crop
Is Being Gathered
Around Baldwin

peach crop in this section Is now be
ing gathered. The Carmen crop is
already in and the Elberta crop is
now ready. Several hundred cars
will be shipped from Baldwin this

good corn crop is practically assured.

silking stage, pretty well advanced
and with a very few showers the
corn crop will soon be made, while

325,405 People
Live Within Hour’s
Ride of Five Points
If anything were to happen, 325,405
people could reach Atlanta’s famous
Five Points within an hour, says Eu
gene R. Black, president \of the
chamber of commerce, who h'as com
pleted some interesting research
work into the recent census re
turns.
True, many of this number would
have to use gasoline in order to ar
rive on time, but they wouldn’t find
it necessary to watch for traffic of
ficers, for every one of Mr. Black's
325,405 reside within twenty miles
of the heart qtf the city. Four entire
counties and parts of five others are
included in this twenty-mlle zone.
Mr. Black's study of the statistics
further revealed that more than one
third of the entire population of
Georgia resides within seventy-five
miles of Atlanta, wnich, of course,
means that considerably more than
a million people do the bulk of their
buying here. This seventy-five-mile
zone includes all the territory on the
north as far as Blue Ridge; on the
as far as Mount Airy; touches
Bibb county on the south, and in
cludes three counties in Alabama on
the west.
The population of nineteen of the
counties in the larger zone have not
yet been announced, but the ftgurss
quoted are well tvithin the official
population; as based on comparative
increases over the 1910 census, Mr
Black stated.

Tortured and Pain-Racked for
Fifteen Years wiin Rheumatism
We can hardly imagine the feeling of joy and
r' thankfulness which would possess one who, afteif
suffering fifteen years the excrutiations of rhem
* matism, finally gains relief.
§ This was the experience of Mr. W. H.
HH of 49 Cooper Street, Atlanta, Ga., who tells of hM
• =•• •' recovery as foliotvs:
suffered fifteen years with rheumatism. I
PE-RU-NA cured me and I think it is the best ail
around medicine ever made. I hope you publish .
W. H. Edgars m y letter for the benefit of others.”
Simple words, but they tell a big story in
straight-forward, honest way.
Rheumatism is only one of the many troubles due to catarrh,
Coughs, colds, indigestion, constipation, sour stomach, belching,
bloating, pains in the back, side and loins, are # a few of them
that may be traced to a catarrhal condition. In the prevention
of grip and Spanish Flu, which are of a catarrhal nature, and to
hasten recovery after an attack, the value of PE-RU-NA is undis
puted. The safe way is to keep PE-RU-NA in the house all the
time for emergencies.
You can buy PE-RU-NA anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form. — (Advt.)
