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 to 26 lower. < - •“ l L NEW YORK COTTON ' The following were the ruling prices tn ths ixcha nge today: .

GRAIN 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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: • North Georgia Agriculture college, DontWaPenny Just send coupon stating size and width—that's all.

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.) WONDERFUL PHONOGRAPH rnrr Here is our New StjdeE.
