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.

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.

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- Q—o 0 0 New Questions 1. —Have the Indians in the United States a right to vote? 2. —Can a Panama hat be cleaned? 3. —Do the various keys in music express different feelings or emo tions? 4. —Who was Abou Ben Adhem? s—When was the first Atlantic cable laid? 6. —What is the total forest area in the United States? 7. —How many children attend the public schools?’ 8. —Does a drowning person take a “death grasp’’ on a person attempt ing a rescue? 9. —What are the principal towns in the oil belt of Texas? 10. —Wouldn’t it be a good idea to start a campaign for saving waste paper?

After mud and grime are removed, take a sponge and clean the body and running gear with tepid solution of water and Ivory or linsed oil soap.

CAMPBELL NEWS WILL SUPPORT SENATOR SMITH In a letter to Senator Hoke s'mith, given out by his headquarters with the consent of the writer. Editor M. D. Collins, of the Campbell News, an nounces that his paper will vigorous ly support the senator for re-elec tion. “This is no time to try out the un tried or to try those who have been tried and found wanting,” says Edi tor Collins in announcing his inten tion to support Senator Smith. His 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 when we need real constructive statesmen in the United States senate, and you have proven to be just that kind of a senator, we are more than anxious to see you returned to the senate and I want to assure you that, as editor of the Campbell News, I am ready to do or say anything that I can to further your inter ests. I You have introduced and help ed to pass some of the most con structive and far-reaching legis lation that is upon our statute booker Your position on the League of Nations is the thoughtful American position. This is no time to try out the untried or to try those who have been tried and found wanting. Your speech here at Fairburn the other day was received re 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. -T-Christian Science Monitor.
