COTTON
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—The early cotton
market was influenced by higher Liverpool
tables, the more. cheerful visw of European
conditions and complaints of too much rain
in the south. First prices were 35 points
lower on September, but generally 9 to 26
(joints higher, and the market soon showed
net advances of 16 to 41 points. October
was relatively firm, selling up to 32.55 c,
while December touched ,31.36 c on buying
by Liverpool and covering. The latter was
promoted ty expectations of a bullish
weekly report, and there was considerable
buying for southern account. Some hedge
selling was reported, however, while the
advance met considerable realizing or scat
tered selling for a reaction, particularly in
the later months.
Reports that about 7.000 bales of cotton
had been sold oult of the local stock since
the beginning of the month probably con
tributed to the strength of the near months
and October contracts sold up to 32.65 c
later, or 51 points net higher, while dis
tant months showed gains of 21 to 42
points. The weekly report of the weather
bureau, however, proved less unfavorable
than expected, particularly in its refer
ences to the boll weevil, and the market
broke sharply after its publication.
The selling became more active and gen
eral. and prices weakened rapidly during
the 'early afternoon with October declining
to 31.78 and December to 30.50. or 36 to 57
j points below last night’s closing figures.
I Cotton bought on the expectation of a bull
ish weekly weather report was liquidated
aud there was selling for southern ac
count.
Sellers became more aggressive, and they
forced much liquidation of long cotton. ,A
private bureau condition report of 69 pet
cent of normal was given out, .but while it
indicated a loss of over 6 points fpr the half
month, It brought the market little support.
Not until shorts started taking profits-was
he decline checked. At the lowest .levels
prices were 49 to 70 points under yester
day’s close. October selling as low ns 30,49 c,
or 99 points down from the highest. Toward
the close there were moderate recoveries
and the active months stood at net losses of
« 30 to 35 points.

GRAIN
CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—General demand with
but limited offerings led to higher prices to
day in the wheat market. Initial quota
tions varied from %c decline to ad
vance.
Corn after opening 1% to I%C higher, un
derwent material decline but showed power
to rally.
Oats were firmer.
Weakness in hog values acted as a drag
on provisions.

SHEPARD 4 GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 11.—Further rains
over the greater part of the belt and a bet
ter opinion of European political matters
were responsible for moderate wide gains in
the early trailing in cotton today but follow
ing the weekly returns were better than ex
pected but the forecast calls for more rain
in til ehelt an dwe do not think the rains
can continue without finally resulting in
general deterioration. On such recessions as
occurred today the market is a purchase.
State Corn Crop Short
Three Million Bushels
"Far short of the average gyoduction” is
the most important statement in the month
ly report of the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service (Georgia Department of Agriculture,
J. J. Brown, commissioner, and United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates. L. M.
Estabrook, chief).
On the other hand, the sweet potato and
tobacco crops promise a mucli heavier yigld
with a great total. We shorld
least thirteen million bushels of sweet po
tatoes and something over twenty millions
pounds of tobacco.
The peacli crop did not bear out the
early promise, but still produced a very
respectable number of cars of commercial
peaches and a large agricultural crop.
Peanuts are In a first-class condition and
promise a good yield. Sugar cane is about
as usual, with some complaint of disease.
Other field crops are not coming up ta
the average.
Following are condition and figures on
each of the crops as reported:

IMPEACHMENT
OF BAHNSEN TO
BE INTRODUCED
For the purpose of compelling a
vote upon the removal from office of
Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, state veteri
narian, an impeachment resolution
will be introduced into the house of
representatives some time during
Wednesday, probably during the aft
ernoon session, by Representative
Williams, of Worth county, the lead
er of the fight to oust Dr. Bahnsen.
On Tuesday there Was introduced
into the house -ny Representative
Williams and in the senate by Sena
tor Pittman a resolution directing
the commissioner of agriculture to
remove Dr. Bahnsen frt>m office and
to appoint a successor to fill his
place.
This resolution was based upon the
report adverse to Dr. Bahnsen which
had been submitted by the joint in
vestigating committee of the house
and senate, which on Monday night
completed its examination of charges
preferred against him.
The house rules committee on
Tuesday night and again on Wednes
day motningi declined to place the re
moval resolution on the calendar of
the' house. The senate rules com
mittee also failed to place the sen
ate removal resolution on the calen
dar of the senate.
In order to force a vote upon the
removal of Doctor Bahnsen, in spite
of the attitude of the rules com
mittees of the house and senate.
Representative Williams decided that
he would bring formal impeachment
proceedings.
Under the constitution, an im
peachment proceeding cannot be side
tracked. Furthermore, an impeach
ment proceeding when brought at the
close of a legislative session must
be finally disposed of before the
legislature adjourns.
Hence an impeachment proceeding
brought by Tlepresentative Williams
against Doctor Bahnsen would place
the legislature in a position in which
it would be obliged to dispose of the
same at once or prolo’ng the session
beyoi d Wednesday, which is the day
for sine die adjournment.
Report of Probe Ccmmitte
The report of the committee that investi
gated Dr. Bahnsen is as follows:
"To the General Assembly of the State of
Georgia, Session of 1920:
“Under and by virtue of joint house res
olution 146. directing an investigation of the
office of the state veterinarian, your com
mittee begs to submit the following report:
“That the state veterinarian paid on his
private sales of commercial serum, virus and
syringes, from the funds of the state, with
out aufliority of law, express charges in the
sum of $1,864.76, in receiving and disburs
ing serum, virus and syringes from Jan
uary 1. 1917, to August 1, 1920.
“Under the law the whole time of the
veterinarian is required, and one of his du
ties, by himself and his office force, is to
distribute hog cholera serum and virus. It
appears from the evidence that the sales of
commercial articles named, from January 1.
1917, to August 1, 1920, amounted to:
“State College serum and virus. ..$34,185.02
“Commercial serum and virus .. 372,157.03
“Making a total of $406,342.05
“It also appears from the evidence of
Dr. Balmsen, state veteranarian, that his
profits on these articles was about $6,000
net. There was other evidence to show that
tiie profit was much larger. The distribu
tion of the articles named was handled by
tiie office force of the state veteranarian.
“For lack of records in tho effice of the
state veteranarian we are unable to deter
mine the exact amount of profit made in
the handling of serum and virus. Tickets
showing sales made for the years 1917 to
August 1. 1920, are as above stated.
No Records of Serum
“There are no books of account, no files
or invoices, no records of checks showing
amounts paid for serum and virus.
“Under the law the state veterinarian
is not authorized to engage in the private
purchase of serum and virus.
“Except as herein specified, we find the
services of the state veterinarian to the
people of the state have been capable and
efficient.
“We recommend the appropriation by the
legislature of the sum of SIO,OOO to be
used by the department of agriculture as
a revolving fund for tiie purchase and dis
tribution of serum and virus to the people
of the state at* actual cost.
“We recommend that tiie law creating
the office of state veterinarian be amended
so as to have the state veterinarian ap-

D. Collins, of the Campbell News, an
nounces that his paper will vigorous

letter to the senator follows:
FAIRBURN, Ga., Aug. 9, 1920.
Hon. Hoke Smith,
Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Mr. Smith:
Realizing that this is a time

sponsively by the large crowd
which heard you.
Your re-election is inevitable,
but keep telling the boys the
same good doctrine. »
Yours very truly,
M. D. COLLINS. Editor.
Tobacco at Abbeville
Impresses Editor
ABBEVILLE, Ga., Aug. 11.—D. F.
Morris, editor of a tobacco magazine
published in New York City, was in
Abbeville Monday. Mr. Morris has
covered all of south Georgia, and
says that the best tobacco he has
seen was in Abbeyille. He said it
had a bright look and a better body
than any he has seen on his trip. He
also said that the buyers were pay
ing more for it than at any other
place he had visited.
He was much impressed with the
soil in Georgia, and thinks that in a
few years south Georgia will be the
leading tobacco growing section of
the country. Mr. Morris is an ex
pert when it comes to growing and
grading tobacco. This section will
get a write-up in his magazine. And
he will mention Abbeville especially,
pointed by the commissioner of agriculture
for a term of - four years.
“It being a physical impossibility for
the stenographer, at the present time, to
transcribe the evidence submitted to the
committee, we beg to ask that he, Mr. S.
N. Tltlebaum, be permitted to attach the
evidence to the findings in the matter as
soon as it may be completed by him.
“We recommend that witnesses sub
poenaed to appear before the committee be
paid actual railway fare and $2 per day
while in actual attendance upon the com
mittee, the bills to be pproved, when
sworn to, by the secretary of this com
mittee, the Hon. J. B. Clements.
“By authority of the committee.
“FERMOR BARRETT, Chairman.”
4 Q. —How much has the cost of
living actually risen?
4 A. —The National Industrial con
ference board states that there has
been an increase of ninety-four and
eight-tenths per cent since July,
1914. Thirty-four and eight-tenths
per cent of this increase has come
in the last year, twelve and six
tenths per cent of it within the last
five months.
5 Q. —About what wages are paid
in the harvest fields?
5 A. —It has been announced from
Kansas City that harvesting has be
gun in Oklahoma and that harvest
hands will be paid from $6 to $7
per day.
6 Q. —How did the name doughboy
come to be applied to American sol
diers?
6 A. —There have been many con
flicting stories concerning this
term. One that seems plausible is
that this was the name of a small
cake issued to sailors. Later it
was applied to a button of similar
shape worn by infantrymen, and
finally to the soldiers themselves.
7 Q. —How can I tell how much a
can< will hold?
7 A.—Measure the diameter and
height of the can in inches. Multi
ply the diameter by itself and the
product by the height; take one-third
of one per cent of the total and this
answer will be the number of gal
lons, correct to one-fifieth. For ex
act result, two per cent of totol may
be added.
8 Q. —How many Shriners are
there in the United States?
. 8 A.—The latest official record
gives 200,530 as the number of mem
bers of the Ancient Arabic Order of
Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.
9 Q. —Who built the first modern
automobile in the United States?
9 A. —Elwood Haines, built the
first automobile which usedVgasoline
for fuel. In> 1893, in Kokomo, Ind.
The original car is in the Smithson-,
ian institution in Washington. D. C-
10 Q. —Why are the Dead Sea and
the Red Sea so called?
10 A.—The Dead sea is so called
because no living thing can exist in
it, on account of the extreme salinity
of its waters. The Red sea was
originally named the Sea of “Edon,”
Edon meaning “red” or “muddy.”
Armed Airplane Hunts
Illinois Bank Robbers
MOLINE, 11l. —Two men, heavi
ly armed, in an airplane, have
joined in the pursuit of bank rob
bers who got $20,000 here and es
caped in an automobile. The avia
tors, Lieutenant C. Brierly and
Fred Wallace, are scouring Henry -
and Mercer counties. The bandits
are known to have escaped in that
direction.
The bandits, six in number, en
tered the Commercial Savings
bank shortly before noon and
locked bank officials in the vault
after which they gathered their
loot. They escaped after a run
ning revolver battle with citizens
and the police, in which Charles
Mohler, a barber, was probablv
fatally wounded.
Paper Out of Bamboo
It seems likely that the graceful,
feathery bamboo will be passed into
the service of printing. W. Raitr,
cellulose expert to the government of
India, is at present in England In
connection with the development of
the pulp resources of India and to
obtain a pulping plant for the For
est Research institute in India.
The plant is needed for further ex
perimental work in investigating new
sources of paper-making material.
Mr. Raitt during the last five
years has explored the whole of the
coastal belt of Burma, and considers
there is sufficient bamboo, with the
savannah grasses of Assam, to pro
duce 14,000,000 tons of dry pulp a
year. Bamboo, being a grass, its pulp
has many features in common witn
esparto, and it can be used for all
grades of paper.
The total cost of production would
not exceed one-half of that now being
experienced with wood pulp. The In
dian government has granted conces
sions to pioneer companies on ex
tremely favorable terms, and Mr.
Raitt feels that no permanent set
tlement of the papermakers’ oft-re
curring difficulties of supplies can be
found except in the waste growths
of tropical and sub-tropical forests.
