COTTON
NEW YORK. Aug. fl.— Local cotton trad
•rs found conflicting in h>dny's
early ueivs. No improvement was reporreif
in the domestic goods situation, tite Liiver
pool cables were lower than due, and the.
European news On the. other.,
hand, there were complaints of too mttehi
rain in some parts of the south, while there
■were reiterated reports of an improved- de
mand for cotton goods in Manchester tind
reports that the federal reserve board, had
Issued an emphatic denial of charges that
it had ordered southern members to limit
loans on cotton, were Considered reassuring.
Thesp features caused a good deal of irreg
ularity and after opening 14 to 43 points
lower the market rallied several points on
renewed covering. Recent buyers showed a
disposition to take profits after the sharp
advance of yesterday, however, and advances
were not maintained, with December fluctu
ating between 30.45 and 30.6,5 during the
.eerly trading
The early irregularity was followed by
■harp advances in which the feature was
relative strength and activity of October
contracts. The statement that banking in
terests would extend all reasonable aid .in
*n orderly marketing of the new crop,
seemed to make a considerable impression on
sentiment, while there were apprehensions'
that rains might delay the early moventpnt’
and for a time October shorts were
.buyers. They ran the price up ,to Jhl.tiO,
during the middle of the morning, or <65.
points net higher while December sold at'
81.15, or 35 points above last night’s-clos
ing quotation. The demand then tapered <jff
4UMI there were reactions of several point?
Jate in the forenoon.
‘ Trading was less active during the middle
«f the afternoon witii the market bolding
•fairly steady around 32.25 for October «nd
23.62 for January, or net 30 points higher

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6. —Poor cables
gad an unfavorable view of foreign politics
caused a drop oT 21 to 32 points in the cot- .
to:i market today around the opening, but
when the weather map was posted the
he»vy rain in extreme eastern and western
portions of the belt were looked upon as
injurious to the crop and a buyftig wave,
•et in. The demand was further increased
by the report that a federal reserve board
statement had been made denying that loans •
against cotton had been curtailed ior that
they would be. At the end of the first
hour of business prices were 15 to 56 points
over yesterday’s close. October climbing so
81.09.
Prices continued to mount until October
Was at 31.20 and the list was 22 to 76
points over yesterday’s final prices. Much
remixing came from the long side toward
neon and a break ensued to levels 30 points
higher to 6 ponits lower than yesfct^liij , *s
last quotations. Irregularity was due to
Straddle operations.
A somewhat steadier tone was taken on
bite in the session, with the late months in
clined to do a little better, although Octo
ber continued the strongest month. Toward
the close prices were 5 to 73 points up net.

CHICAGO, Aug. 6. —Sharp, new advances
in the price of wheat resulted today from
continued anxiety over the likellhojod of war
between Great Britain and Russia. Opening
■prices ranged from 2% to <’>V4c higher, and
were followed by additional gains for De
-Tembcr.
•w Bulls in corn made much of the fact that
aside from the war scare and the un
satisfactory crop outlook the daily receipts
jQf corn were less than current requirements
After opening % to 3%c higher, the mar
•itet continued to ascend.
Wheat closed weak, 3J6 to 4c net lower.
Corn closed unsettled, l|Ae net lower to
'sic gain. V
Oats mounted with other grain.
. Higher quotations on hogs as well as on
cereals lifted provisions.

THOMSON, McKINNON & CO. GRAIN
LETTER
CHICAGO, Ang. 6.—Wheat: Foreign po
litical situation was practically only excuse
for higher prices as the cash market failed
to show any strength. There was said to
be some export buying by Germany under
• cover out in a general way the foreign bus
Riess was slow. The advance in price stim
ulated offerings by the country. This mar
■itet has probably had more than sufficient
advance.
Corn—A dry map and the early poltieal
news precipitated a rush of buying in early
market. Former holders saw fit to accept
profits and there was a reversal of senti
ment under rumors of possible negotiations
■between England and Russia. In corn as in
wheat the advance of 20 cenfs from recent
low points increased the country offerings
and practically killed receipts. There is K
nothing in way of relief shown in weather
map or forecast. If tomorrow’s may shows
continuation of this condition there should
be sum efirmness displayed in the new crop
delivery namely, the December.
Oats—Early strength in corn was imparted
to oats but market encountered considerable
profit-taking, in oatj as in others, the new
shipping demand has been killed by the ad
vance in prices. Premiums for cash were
easier, light weight of No. 3 white, selling
as low as 3 cents over September.
Provisions—A more favorable turn in the
political news induced selling of the list
and poor support was disclosed.
GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Bartlett. Frazier & Co.: The corn market
has regained in three sessions all that it
lost in seven. Oats are net high even on
' this little rally.
Clement. Curtis it Co.: Grain market is
again back to high levels and should be
sold on further advance.
Press & Co.: No use selling corn short
until lhe crop gets needed rains.

,SHEPARD k GLUCK COTTON LETTER
• NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6.—T00 much rain
in the belt and increasing reports of de
terioration and insect damage caused mod
erately wide gains in the early trading in
cotton today, following depressions on the
■ opening, due to a poor Liverpool and the
unfavorable tenor of political news. Later
’ln the session much »of the advance was
llfst because of unfavorable trade reports
.arid the news that Carolina mills had voted
to curtail production by one-third to one
half during August. Texas is beginning to
get too much rain and if rainfall continues
we think It will put the market up un
less foreign news becomes too bad.
Augusta Herald Says
Georgia Should Send
Smith Back to Senate
(Continued from Pa,g« One.)
state, if he is returned by Georgia
to the U. S. senate.
On the other hand, there is no
denying the fact that some of the
acts and votes of the senator, espe
cially in opposition to measures de
sired by the administration have not
been popular with a large number of
Georgians. It is hardly possible for
any Senator who is active and ag
gressive and who has views and con
victions and the ability and power
to force them would be able at all
times to please all the people by his
every act and vote upon the multi
plicity of questions that recent times
have brought to the front in public
discussion and national legislation.
But the big balance on the ledger
of helpful legislation is largely in fa
for of Senator Smith’s record. Any
sensible man must realize the worth
and ability of Senator Smith as
Georgia’s representative in the Unit
ed State senate, whether he has
agreed with him on every act and
vote or not. The Herald frequent
ly disagreed vyith the senator but
on the other hhnd it has more often
agreed with him and recognized the
and worth of his services to
the people of this state and nation.
Os all the candidates in the senate
race, there can be no doubt as to the
real constructive service and value to
the state than can be obtained by the
selection of Senator Smith. This is
the common sense, practical, busi
ness view of the situation. If Geor
gia wishes to be ably represented
in the United States senate, she will
return Senator Smith. If on the
other hand. Georgia wishes to yield
to the passions, of bitter personal and
factional politics, and to foster and
to spread nation wide the most vio
lent and outrageous abuse of the
Democratic administration, and its
leaders, and particularly of Presi
dent Wilson, Georgia will elect Hon.
Thomas E. Watson.
As The Herald views the situation
there is no chance to elect Govern
or Dorsey. He is being used as a
stalking horse with the vain hope
that he can so divide the vote that
he can nose into the second primary.
The purpose of his backers will be
accomplished if they can bring about
the defeat of Senator Smith.
There is little hope that Dorsey
could win in the second primary if
the run off should be either Smith
or Watson. The chances are that
either could easily defeat him in a
single handed race. But the particu
lar amount of damage to Smith and
of help to Watson that Dorsey's en
try into the race will be able to ac
complish remains for the first pri
mary to tell.

HOUSE-SENATE
TRADE ON ROAD
BILLS IS MADE
A straight out proposal to trade
with the house of representatives on
pending highway legislation is con
tained in a resolution introduced /n
--the senate Thursday morning by
Senator Cureton, of the Forty-fourth
district. The resolution pledges the
senate to pass the Knight resolution
calling for a distribution of the
motor vehicle license tax funds
among the several counties if the
house in return will pass the state
road bond Issue bill.
The Knight resolution has been
passed by the house and Is now pend
ing in the senate. The state road
bond issAe bill, which would amend
the state constitution so as to au
thorize a $30,003,000 bond issue for
highway construction, was passed by
the senate last year and is now pend
ing- in the house.
While there is considerable oppo
sition to the Knight resolution on
the part of some members of the
senate it is believed by many that
in order to secure the passage of
the bona issue amendment it will
be necessafiy to put throug.. the
Knight resolution as a compromise
measure. It is in this belief that
the Cureton resolution has been in
troduced in the senate.
It is anticipated that a sharp de
bate will be staged on the floor of
the senate when the Cureton resolu
tion, which was referred to the rules
committee, is placed on its final
passage.
The text of the resolution fol
lows;
“Whereas, there are only six more
working days of this general assem
bly and there has been no action
taken by the house of representatives
in the state aid road bond bill and
constitutional amendment, which
bills have passed this senate and are
now pending in the house, and
“Whereas, these are important
measures and are necessary for the
proper support of state system of
highways contemplated when the
highway commission bill and the au
tomobile tax bill were passed at the
last session of this general assem
bly, and
“Whereas, there has arisen a dif
ference in the house of representa
tives as to the disposition of the au
tomobile license tax fund in what
is known as the Knight resolution,
which seeks to distribute said fund
to the various counties according to
post road mileage,
“Therefore be it resolved, That the
rules committee of the senate be, and
are hereby requested, to put the
Knight resolution on the calendar for
passage immediately after the house
acts on the bond issue bill, and that
this senate pledge its support to the
Knight resolution, provided the house
acts favorably on the bond issue bill.”
Rules Committee in Charge
The rules committee took charge
of the calender Thursday morning in
accordance' with the rules of the
senate and put up as the first meas
ure a bill by Senator Wilkinson pro-,
viding for the appointment of fifty
one fertilizer inspectors to serve for
four months of the year at SIOO per
month. There are now forty-three
such inspectors drawing SB3 per
month.
Under the Wilkinson bill each sen
atorial district would have it’s own
inspector who would see that the
statute providing for the tagging of
all fertilizers was carried out. These
inspectors when working more than
four months would draw $4 per day.
The boundary of the new county
of Brantley is slightly altered by an
amendment to the constitutional
amendment creating this county
which has passed both houses. The
senate on Thursday concurred in the
house amendment making the bound
ary change.
FARMER IS NOT
PROFITEER, SAYS
BUREAU SPEAKER
CARTERSVILLE, Aug. 6.—" The
farmer is not a profiteer. In only a
few instances have his crops brought
more than the cost of production,"
declared J. W. Coverdale, secretary
of the American Farm Bureau fed
eration, in speaking to the farmers of
the Seventh congressional district
gathered here Wednesday.
In the second of a series of ad
dresses to be deliveerd in various
sections of the state, Mr. Coverdale
outlined the policies of the national
and told of the work it has been do
ing for the farmers since its organ
ization March 4. Its purpose, ac
cording to Mr. Coverdale, is "To de
velop a completely unified organiza
tion to act as spokesman for the
farmer and to adequately represent
the farmer and the farmer’s interests
on all occasions.”
As examples of what the national
federation has already done for the
farmer, the speaker cited the repeal
of the "daylight saving law,” and
how before the interstate commerce
commission the contemplated raise in
the freight rates of the country was
reduced 10 per cent.
“It was the American Farm Bureau
federation that found that passenger
traffic was not paying its way, and
it was this organization that de
manded that the traveling public bear
a part of the increase in rates along
with the farmer," he added.
Representative delegations from
eleven counties were present, the
county farm bureau of. Floyd county
being especially active. The farm
ers were most favorably impressed
with Mr. Coverdale’s explanation of
the work, and pledged their support
to President James W. Morton. oL
the Georgia federation. James W:
Vaughn, vice president of the Bank
of Cartersville and a member of the
executive committee of the Georgia
bureaus, was master of ceremonies
and introduced the speakers.
Develops New Watermelon
AMERICUS, Ga., Aug. 6.—Homer
Rabun, who moved to Friendship
community from Terrell county a

weight, and, he says, of excellent
quality. He is retaining the seed of
his entire crop, which, he says, he
will plant next season.

Unions to Be Barred
In Macon’s Fire and
Police Departments
MACON, Ga., Aug. s.—The civil
service commission met Wednesday
afternoon for probably the last time,
a bill having passed the legislature
abolishing the commission and again
placing the control of the fire and
police departments in the hands of
city council. The measure, which
is an amendment to the charter of
Macon, only needs Governor Dor
sey’s signature to become a law.
Civil service rules were written into
it.
An interesting provision of the
amendment is one making it illegal
for members of the fire and polica
departments to belong to any organ
ization authorized to call strikes.
Unions we organized among the
members of the department a year
ago. Last fall the policemen yielded
to the demand to disband theirs. The
firemen, however, failed to comply,
and an order was issued by the civil
service commission commanding them
to deunioiiize. They ignored this
order, and their union is still in ex
istence.
They would make no statement to
day relative to their attitude, but
it is expected that as soon as the
governor signs the amendment they
will be given an opportunity to com
ply voluntarily, and in the event they
fail to do so, action will be taken
by • G. Plunkett, city attorney.
Wounded in Action
SA\ANNAH, Ga., Aug. 6.—Deputy
Cmted States Marshal Kea has re
ceived wounds while in action He
and his associates went liquor hunt
ing in St. Catherines sound a few
days ago on a small boat. The
heavy seas caused the boat to roll
considerably and the ■ deputy was
knocked up against the side and suf
fered two broken ribs. He is a lit
tle disfigured and somewhat band
aged up, but he is still doing busi
ness at the old stand.
Labor Day Picnic
SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 6.—Savan
nah union labor is going on a big
frolic Labor Day. The day is to be
spent at Tybee island. There will
be nothing doing in the city. The
idea of holding a big parade has
been abandoned and the Savannah
Trades and Labor assembly will give
a picnic on the sands.
BILL TO INCREASE
MEMBERSHIP OF
HOUSE REFERRED
A bill to increase the membership
of the house of representatives and
to establish a new basis for ap
portioning the same among the coun
ties of the state was introduced in
the house on Thursday by the Floyd
delegation and Representative Lind
sey, of DeKalb, and was referred
to the constitutional amendment
committee.
The constitution of Georgia now
provides that the six largest coun
ties shall each have three represen
tatives in the house; that the next
twenty-six shall each have two rep
resentatives in the house; that the
remainder shall each have one rep
resentative.
The bill introduced Thursday
would change this basis and provide
that the three largest counties
should each have four representa
tives; that the six next largest coun
ties should each have three repre
sentatives; that the twenty next
largest counties should each have
two representatives, and that the
balance should have one each.
The effect of the bill would be to
add fourteen members to the house
of representatives with the existing
number of counties. And new coun
ties subsequently created would each
add one representative to the house.
The bill attracted keen interest in
the house on account of the fact that
DeKalb county in the last census
displaced Floyd county among those
having three representatives in the
house.
The house of representatives on
Thursday began work upon the ap
propriation bills, and the first bill
passed was that increasing the main
tenance fund of the twelve district
agricultural schools from $15,000 to
$25,000 each.
In addition to the above bill, the
house also a bill Increasing
the maintenance of the following ed
ucational institutions In the follow
ing amounts: •

Tortured and Pain-Racked for
Fifteen Years, with Rheumatism
We can hardly imagine the feeling of joy and
thankfulness which would possess one who, after
F ’ suffering fifteen years the excrutiations of rheu
matism, finally gains relief.
This was z the experience of Mr. W. H. Edgars,
of 49 Cooper Street, Atlanta, Ga., who tells of his
Bl||a3 recovery as follows:
“I suffered fifteen years with, rheumatism.
Illi PE-RU-NA cured me and I think it is the best all
Ml around medicine ever made. I hope you publish
W. H. Edgars m y letter for the benefit of othefs.”
Simple words, but they tell a big story hi a
. ightforward, 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.)
