COTTON
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Tie cotton market
showed the influence of continued or greater
nervousness over European political condi
tion* and a rather easier technical position
during today's early trading. The covering
movement of last week had considerably re
duced the short interest and there was scat
tering liquidation at tho opening owing to
the weak cables, and decline in foreign ex
change. South selling was also in evidence
and after smarting at a decline of 20 to 36
points, active months soon sold 50 to 60
points below Saturday’s closing with' October
touching 31.50 and December 30.15. Trading
was only moderately active, however a,nd
prices later showed slight rallies on re
ports of further showers in the south.
Apprehensions of less favorable crop re
ports, as a result of the continued showers
of rain seemed insufficient to bring in any
fresh buying in the face of unsettling fea
tures otherwise. On the other hand, rallies
of a few points from the early low level
met increased selling for Wall street and
southern account with December declining
to 30.10, or 66 points below Saturday’s clos
ing. Other months showed similar losses and
prices were within a few points of the
lowest around 'midday.
All but a few points of the earlier losses
were recovered, with December selling up to
30.70 c on a rumor of a four-day armistice
on the Polish front and the detailed weather
reports stowing considerable rainfall in
the south. The buying t: pered off as soon
as the more urgent demand from shorts
had been supplied, however, and most of
the advance was lost with the midafternoon
market ruling about 40 to 60 points net
lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9.—Pronounced
weakness was shown by ctoton today in
the face of unfavorable weather over the
greater part of the belt. Heavy selling ap
peared on the opening, in response to a
poor Liverpool, and was continued after
the call because of the weak stock market,
the slump in foreign exchange and a bearish
view of European politics. At the end of
the" first hour of business prices were 55
to 63 points under the close of last wee
October standing at 30.27 and March at
29.36.
Liquidation of long contracts increased
and short selling became more general, wio
ening the decline to 68 to 75 points. Octo
ber traded down to 30.15. Late in the morn
ing the downward movement was checked
by realizing of profits on short contracts
and a reaction of 7 to 18 points from the
lowest levels brought about.
The rumor that the Russians had con
sented to a truce of four days caiised a
swift upturn and the most active ‘months
got back to within 1 to 81 points of Sat
urday’s final* prices, October reacting to
80.78. For a while the tone was very
steady but gradually, under lack of con
firmation of the' political rumors, the market
sagged £gain and late in the day was
to 55 points under Saturday's close.

CHICAGO, Aug. 9.—Higher prices for
wheat resulted today from European war
developments. Opening quotations ranged
from 2c to 3%c higher.
Rain reports from Illinois largely counter
balanced in the corn market the bullish ef
fect of war talk. After opening unchanged
to 2>4c higher, prices bulged all around
but then lost nearly all the advance.
Oats were governed by corn.
Strength in the hog market kept pro
visions steady.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 9.—The cotton
market was governed almost wholly by po
litical nows today, wide declines being made
in the early trading on the unfavorable news
regarding Poland, while later there were par
tial recoveries on the rumo that Russia had
agreed to a truce of four days. The weath
er over the belt was extremely bad, rain
being reported over the greater part of the
bit, with th rainfall havy in many locali
ties, but it had no effect on the trading.
Worm and weevil damage seems to be in
creasing. The market is technically very
strong and any real Improvement In Euro
pean conditions would mean wide advances.
The snow man quickly melts, but
it’s different with the heart pf the

Wheat Crop Estimated
795,000,000 Bushels
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.—Production of
crops forecast today by the department of
agriculture from their condition on August
1, kas as follows:
Winter wheat, 533,000,000 bushels.
Suring wheat, 795,000,000 bushels.
AH wheat, 795,000,000 bushels.
Corn, 3,003,000,000 bushels.
Spring wheat will total 262,000,000 bush
els and winter -wheat 533,000,000 bushels,
it was estimated. The July forecast for
winter wheat was 518,000,000 bushels and
spring wheat 291,000,000 bushels.
The 1914-18 average production of winter
wheat is 563,000,000 bushels yearly; spring
wheat 259,000,000 bushels and all wheat
822,000,000 bushels.
It is estimated that wheat will yield 14.8
bushels per acre. The estimated yield for
winter wheat is 15.6 bushels per acre and
spring wheat 13.4 bushels.
The average yield of the wheat crop Is
12,8 bushels per acre. The average yield
of the winter crop is 14.7 bushels and the
spring crop 9 bushels.
The condition of spring wheat August 1
was 73.4 per cent of normal as compared
with 88 per cent July 1.
There Is now 53,652,000 acres planted in
wheat, or 73. 3per cent of the 1919 acreage;
of this 19,487,000 acres arep lanted In spring
wheat.
Corn—Estimated production August 1.
3,003,000,(XX) bushels, as compared with a
forecast of 2,779,000,000 bushels on July 1,
and 2,760,000,000 bushels average production
for tlie 1914-18 period.
The condition of the corn crop on August
1 was 86.7 per cent of normal as compared
with 84.6 per cent on July 1 and 77.3 per
cent for a ten-year average.
It is estimated corn will yield 29 bush
els per acre as compared with 26.1 bushels
for a ten-year average.
Commodity Prices Show
More General Decline
Readjustment of wholesale commodity
prices to a generally lower level continues
quite pronounced, there being 58 recessions
tliis week in the quotations received by Dun’s
Review, as against 22 advances. The reac
tionary tendency in tW' grain markets re
mains a prominent feature, almost uniformly
favorable crop reports, and liberal receipts,
being reflected early in more or less conces
sions in wheat, corn, oats, and barley; but
renewed demand subsequently lead to sub
stantial gains in all cereals, eeept wheat
and oats. Changes in live meats and pro
visions were relatively slight, but aside
from beef, the prevailing tone in almost all
products was firmer, and the trend, as a
whole, was upward. With many consumers
away from the city on vacations, together
with fairly large receipts, some reaction de
veloped in butter ana eggs, but cheese ac
quired increased firmness, in response to a
slightly better domestic demand and some
improvement in export inquiry. Some further
upward revisions have occurred in the iron
and steel markets,"and quotations on prac
tically all the miscellaieous metals remain
very cose to last week’s level. Erratic
fluctuations in the raw materials, and con
flicting reports regarding conditions in mer
chandising channels, continue'to cause an
uncertain feeling in cotton goods, but addi
tional declines in quotations have been
announced. The situation in hides and
leather remains easy, while rubber Is still
weak, with a further recession in certain
grades. A somewhat more confident tone,
however, seems to be developing in raw
silk.

Slays Her Neighbor
In Shooting Snake
HICKMAN, Ky.—Shooting of a
snake caused the death of Mrs. Lot
tie Vick, 28 years old, at her home
near Bondurant Station today.
She was accidentally shot and
killed by Mrs. Jennie Jones, a neigh
bor, who had called her to the Vick
yard to shoot a snake.
Mrs. Jones killed the snake with a
double-barreled shotgun. Then as
she attempted to throw the empty
shell from the gun the weapon was
discharged and th«r entire charge of
the second shell entered Mrs. Vick’s
body. She died instantly.
Employer, Inconvenienced,
Sues His Typist Who Quit
PITTSBURG.—Annoyed *' because
Miss Ruth Hopkins, his stenog
rapher, quit her position without giv
ing notice, Attorney William K.
Johnson tried to stop payment on
a check of $44 given her in» payment
of wages and sued her for $225
which he claims to have lost when
compelled to remain at his office
until he could engage another typist.
Johnson alleges he had a verbal
contract with Miss Hopkins to the
effect that should either decide to
conclude their business relations two
weeks’ notice should be given. John
son attempted to stop payment on
the girl’s salary check, but it had
been cashed. However, she was
forced to return the money. She
sued Johnson for the $44 and the
counter damage suit followed.
Aiderman Riley, who heard the
case, awarded Miss Hopkins $36, she
having been overpaid SB. Johnson’s
suit for $255 damages was held over
for court.
Princess in Prison
NEW YORK.—Princess Della Pat
tra, an Egyptian, in this country to
raise funds to educate her country
men and who also is appearing in
motion pictures, tells an unusual
story in her application for a writ
of habeas corpus, presented to Jus
tice Tierney. The pretty titled bru
nette is in Jefferson Market prison,
having been arrested last Friday on
the request of Chief White, of the
San Francisco police. It is charged
the princess embezzled $7,000 from
Erich Buehle, a mining engineer of
San Francisco. She denies the charge
and declares ne gave her the money.
The princiss in her application fur
ther declares that Buehle has
brought the -ge to compel her to
return to San Francisco and marry
him, and asserts the engineer pre
viously had threatened to kill her
because she refused to return. '
Few things are more foolish than
praying for a high task while neg
lesting a lowly one.

Questions and Answers
1. Q. —Do snakes charm birds?
1. A.—The bureau of biological sur
vey states that snakes do not charm
birds in the understood sense of the
word "charm.” The instinctive fear
that a bird or small animals, such as
a rabbit, has for a snake paralyzes
the muscles of the bird or animal
and prevents its escaping from the
snake.
2. Q, —What causes earthquakes?
2. A.—The origin of earthquakes has
been traced to two principal causes,
the first of which is tectonic, and the
second, volcanic. The former refers
to movements in the earth’s crust,
known as faults, possibly caused by
the shrinking of the interior of the
earth by reason of cooling.
3.. Q. —How old is Sarah Bernhardt?
3. A.—Madame Bernhardt was born
on October 22, 1845, in Paris. She
is, therefore, in her seventy-fifth
year.
4. Q. —Why are so many people
married in June?
4. A.—ln the time of ancient Rome,
Juno, wife of Jupiter, was the pa
troness of happy marriages. May,
named for the Goddess Maia, was
considered unpropitious, while March
was named for Mars, the god of war,
and would, therefore, be a poor time
COX LEAGUE PLAN
WILL UNIFY PARTY,
SAYS HOKE SMITH
(Continued from Pago a)
petus that strengthens the confidence
that he will sweep Atlanta and
Fulton county.
Their confidence was not dimin
ished, though their risibilities were
aroused, by the publication in the
Atlanta Constitution Sunday of of
fers of bets at 3 to 1 that Governor
Dorsey wil carry Fulton. No such
bets have been offered, and nons will
be made, according to Senator Smith’s
local leaders.
As an evidence of this fact, at
tention was called to of a
well-known business mem who has
sought to find any 3 to 1 money on
Governor Dorsey winning in Fulton,
Unable to find the unnamed person
to whom reference was made by the
Constitution, the Atlantian has of
fered a reward of SIOO to the author
of the Constitution’s story if he will
produce any person who will wager
that Governor Dorsey will carry the
county at odds of 3 to 1.
The Smith leaders in Fulton gath
er their confidence from two out
standing and very apparent facts:
1. The great number of men who
have never before voted for Hoke
Smith who have come forward with
voluntary assurances of support in
the senatorial campaign.
2. The great number of Atlantians
who were opposed to the senator
in the recent presidential primary
who have indicated a purpose to vote
for him on September 8.
These assurances come from all
classes of prominent citizens, and
most of them are predicated upon
appreciation of Senator Smith’s con
struction Work In the senate and the
recognition of ability and experience
at Washington in the critical times
confronting the country.
The Way to Beat Watson
Not a few assurances have come
from persons who are anxious to de
feat Mr. Watson, and who under
stand that a vote for Governor
Dorsey, which otherwise they might
give him for personal reasons, can
but result in helping Mr. Watson.
Their faith In the Democratic party
and their desire to preserve it in
Georgia transcends their personal
riendship to the governor.
Although Senator Smith’s close
friends and political helpers at head
quarters have been aware for weeks
of the time he had given to helping
and advising wounded soldiers, no
effort had been made to capitalize his
activity along this line. The sen
actor was contend that his deeds would
speak for themselves among the di
rect beneficiaries of his work, and
he has never made any attempt to
influence their political predilections.
The voluntary and unsolicited ex
pression of the ex-service men of
their appreciation of the senator's
service in their behalf and in the
behalf of their comrades has, how
ever, made a profoundly favorable
impression throughout the state, and
the senator's campaign headquarters
already has received many letters
telegrams and words of personal
congratulations upon his work In be
half of vocational training and ade
quate Tiompensation for victims of
the world war.
Rev. Sam W. Small’s letter to a
friend, urging the re-election of Sen
ator Smith, was widely read and has
aroused much comment. Dr. Small
is well-known throughout the state.
His contributions to the editorial
page of the Atlanta Constitution are
one of its brightest and best known
features.
Dr. Small, as pointed out, spends
most of his time in Washington and
resides In Virginia, almost under the
shadow of the national capital. He
has followed the work of congress for
many years and has watched with in
terest the activity of Senator Smith.
“Having watched at close range
the career of Senator Smith in the
senate,” he writes, "I am strongly of
the belief that th© Democrats of
Georgia will do themselves a very
signal dis-service if, at this critical
juncture of national affairs, they are
misled into defeating Senator Smith
for re-election,”
It is evident from the response
that Dr. Small’s letter has provoked
that the people generally agree with
him that, "his value to the people
of Georgia as a senator Is greater
today than Georgia has had in that
body since the death of Ben Hill.”
to marry, since family disputes
might follow.
5. Q. —Who was called the Scourge
of God?
5. A.—This was a name given to
Attila, king of the Huns, who was
the terror of Europe in the fifth cen
tury.
6. Q. —Has any one ever succeeded
in swimming the English channel?
6. A. —Captain Matthew Webb in
1875 succeeded in swimming from
Dover to Calais in 21 hours and 45
minutes. On September 5 and 6,
1911, Thomas William Burgess, an
Englishman resident in Paris, swam
from South Foreland, England, to Le
Chatelet, France. The time was 24
hours and 35 minutes.
7. Q. —What was the millionaire
bankers’ air special?
7. A.—Recently an airplane made
the trip from New York to South
ampton, Long Island, carrying as its
passengers ten well-known New
York bankers. It was dubbed the
millionaire bankers’ air special.
8. Q.—How fast should the pulse
beat?
8. A. —The pulse gradually slows
down through life. A newborn in
fant has a pulse of 130 to 140 beats
per minute. An adult’s pulse ranges
from 70 to 75 in health, while in old
age the rate is from 60 to 75.
9. Q- —Is the flag that inspired
Francis Scott Key to write the "Star
Spangled Banner,” still in existence?
9. A.—The flag which was flying
over Fort McHenry on September 13,
1814, and which inspired Francis
Scott Key to write "The Star-Span
gled Banner” is now in the old Na
tional museum at Washington, D. C.
10. Q. —Hasn’t some millionaire had
a very small racing car built called
‘the flying peanut?"
10. A.—You have in mind Robert
Breese, the millionaire sportsman, of
Long Island, N. Y. The car, equipped
with an airplane motor, is capable of
a speed of 100 miles an hour, although
it is only seven feet long. Due to
its small size and the fact that it
is built very low, it can take the
sharpest corners at the highest rate
of speed.
ACCEPTANCE SPEECH
OF OHIO GOVERNOR IS
WARMLY RECEIVED
(Continued, from Page 1)
vance and take the White House in
November.”
Senator Robinson’s remarks drew
trequent cheers and applause. They
were prolonged when he declared Gov
ernor Cox’s nomination was not won
by "midnight combinations nor plu
tocratic cabals," but by untrammeled
judgment of the San Francisco con
vention. Mr. Robinson appeared to be
heard plainly in the most distant
parts of the grounds through aid of
tlie sound amplifying device installed.
Cheers came from district through
under trees and from those across
the race tracks oval.
‘‘That’s the Stuff"
Long cheering greeted Senator Rob
inson’s denunciation of Republican
senators for their ‘nagging” attacks
on President Wilson and the sena
tors charge that they had blocked
peace.
"That’s tl/e stuff,” was shouted at
the senator as he whacked the Repub
licans.
When Senator Robinson declared
that the treaty of Versailles "must
be ratified” to secure peace another
wave of applause burst forth. More
cheers followed his opposition to “a
reactionary” president. The crowd
laughed and cheered when he pre
dicted Governor Cox would carry the
fight to the Republicans and not
have a front porch campaign.
Governor Cox was given an ova
tion when Senator Robinson conclud
ed at 4:40. The ampitheater crowd
rose and cheered for nearly a min
ute, with throngs standing in the
race concourse joining. The gover
nor read his address with clear, sharp
enunciation. The first cheer of his ad
dress was given his declaration that
he took up the Democratic standard
“a free man." Laughter and applause
greeted his statement that this was
"no time for wobbling,” but fpr
straight, talking and acting. *
Is Cheered Again
Governor Cox’s praise of the clarity
of the Democratic platform brought
another cheer and his flagellation of
Republican senators for their treaty
course received frequent expressions
of approval.
Direct references to Senator Hard
ing and charges that the Republican
candidate, Senator Johnsen, of Cal
ifornia, and other Republican leaders
were committed in opposition to the
League of Nations were applauded
at several points as was the gover
nor’s abhorrence of a separate peace
with Germany. Extra approval was
given the statement that a separate
peace would ostracize both the Unted
States and Germany and the follow
ing statement that it would be
"bungling diplomacy” and "unadul
terated dishonesty, as well.”
When the governor reached the
climax of his league policy, declar
ing he favored going into the league,
while Senator Harding wished to stay
out, the crcwd rose in an ovation.
The goverror emphasized his pledge
with vigorous gestures and paused as
he shouted his challenge of principle.
The crowd waved hats and flags for
abouc a mirute.
More cheers followed the candi
date’s statement the first duty
of the new administration—and, he
interpollated that It would be a
Democratic administration—would be
to obtain ratification of the treaty.
He declared his faith in the voters
this fall remedying a situation which
permitted a “bigoted minority” to ex
ercise arbitrary power to enforce
drastic conditions in dealing with the
treaty in the senate.
A burst of applause came when he
declared in favor of heavily reducing
federal taxes and predicted it would
be done “at once” if a Democratic
administration is chosen.
Manv of the crowd rose and cheer
ed when the governor declared that,
if elected, means will be found to
control profiteers, if necessary by re
course to criminal law. He asserted
that large contributions to Republi
can campaign funds were “for no
other puipose except to buy a gov
ernmental underhold, and to make
illegal profits as the result of pref
erence.”
Without mentioning specifically
the prohibition amendment the gov
ernor said that any one who was
false to bis oath is more unworthy
tnan tbe law violator himself.
Girl Shoots Best
Friend Who Wore
Prettier Costume
LEXINGTON, Ky., July 29.—Miss
Goldie Sturgill, twenty, is about to
be tried for the attempted murder of
a woman friend whose “boughten"
costumes aroused her jealousy.
The girl has spent her life in and
near her father’s cabin in the Pine
mountains, which encroaches on the
town of Whitesburg. Her lifelong
friend, recently a bride, was Mrs.
Alice Hammock, also twenty years
old.
The Sturgill girl visited the Ham
mock home, across the state bounda
ry line in Wise county, West Vir
ginia. Mrs. Hammock agreed to 1
spend several days with the Stur
gills.
In preparing for the journey,
which was to be on foot, she packed
with some ostentation the three
store-purchased gowns, the pair of
mill-knit stockings and the shoes
which her newly acquired husband
had lavished upon her..
Miss Sturgill watched the piecing
together of the bundle baggage.
Her own wearing apparel always had
been handmade.
The girls started across the moun
tain trail together. Late that night
Goldie Sturgill reached her home
alone. She carried a bundle of re
splendent clothing.
The next day Wilson Creech rode
into Whitesburg. He said that Mrs.
Hammo ck haxi stumbled into his
cabin a few miles from the Sturgill
place. He said Mrs. Hammock prob
ably would die from bullet wounds
through the head and body.
The authorities who questioned the
injured woman were told that Goldie
Sturgill had drawn a weapon sud
denly on a lonely spot in the road
and had shot five times at Mrs. Ham
mock.
"She took my store clothes,” the
bride charged.
The stolen costumes were found in
the Sturgill home.
