F. E. CALLAWAY
GIVES VIEWS ON
RACE FOR SENATE
■ '
In a strong card received by The
Journal Friday, Fuller E. Callaway,
of LaGrange, * expresses his convic
tion that Georgia will simply .be
serving her own interests in return
ing Hoke Smith to the senate. Mr.
Callaway is one of Georgia’s .most
distinguished sons and a business
man of remarkable ability and influ
ence, whose views on the senatorial
■ituaticn will command state-wide
interest. His card follows:
Editor The Journal: Georgia
is deservedly as the Em
pire State of the South. Such a
state is entitled to representa
tion in the senate of the Unit
ed States in keeping with the
importance and position of the
state. ,‘L ’.
Senator Hoke Smith, through ’
his great natural power and tre
, mhndous energy, has won a place'
' among the leaders of that great
body. There are few men in that
: body who equal him in experi
ence, power and influence.
Something of this personal
\ power and influence was demon
strated when Senator Smith, se
' cured the Federal Reserve Bank
of the Southeastern States for
Georgia, largely by his personal
■ efforts.
* He fought almost alone to pros- '
:tect cotton in 1914 and 1915. ■
He has continually backed, our
agricultural schools and educa
tional institutions. He aided
greatly in securing the assist--
a nee now given by our govern
ment to our wounded soldiers.-
His constant efforts have been
to better the conditions b£ q'iux
People.
The Democratic platform at
San Francisco states the same
position on the League pfssU_.,
tions which Senator Smith con
tended for, and the speech of ac
ceptance of Governor Cox on ibis',
question was directly in lihe c ■
with those of Senator Smith.
He has the ability, the expe
rience, the position and the influ
ence in the senate to rendef the
, greatest service to the people of
Gorgla. From a long and- Inti
mate acquaintance, I consider
Hoke Smith one of the ablest
and most useful men in publie
life today. le believe that Geor
gia is simply serving her own
interests in returning him te<the

Raw Sugar Is Sold
In New York on Basis
Os 13.04 c a Pound
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—Heavy de T '
treases in the pugar market, fore
shadowed by movements during, the
past few days, took place Thursday.
One large dealer reduced his list
price on fine granulated from 21 to a
fraction over 17 cents per pound,
and rew sugar sold on a basis = of
-14.04 cents, which was 10
pound less than the high level-of
three months ago.
A pronounced weakness in
sugar began early in the week,-no
ticeable in future contracts on the
exchange and in the spot market.
“Second-hand” sugar, or speculative
stocks, have been offered for some
days at 18 cents per pound for Jine
granulated, but no weakening on the
part of refiners was in evidence
until today.
Holders of large stocks of sugar
expressed the fear that they had
overstayed their market. Dealers
declared the present weakness is
due to; lack of demand for refined
sugar, free offering from all parts
of the world and a feeling of unrest
throughout the trade. Lack of de
mand indicates that heavy pur
chases early in the season were not
entirely for immediate consumption.

COTTON
NEW YORK, Aug. 13. —The cotton market
was extremely nervous and unsettled during
today’s early trading. The opening was very
steady at an advance of 8 to 20 points bn
the overnight reports of further rains in the
south arid there was covering by people who
had sold on bearish private condition fig
ures yesterday. The advance to 30.36 for
December met liquidation by recent buyers,
and the market soon weakened with Decem
ber selling off to 29.98, or 24 points net
lower.
The market rallied 40 points in the second
hour on weather reports showing rain in all
parts of the belt except the northwest sec
tion. The list, however, reacted slightly, but
held firm.
The selling slackened and prices turnetd
firmer after publication of the weather map
which confirmed early shower and rain re
ports. Rumors of better prospects so an
armistice between Russia and Poland were
also a factor but business failed to broaden
on the advance and trading was very quiet.
December sold up to 30.42, with active
months showing net advances of about 12
to 25 points around midday.
Circulation of a couple of August notices
was considered responsible for a break to
32.55 for that position, or about 150 points
below last night’s closing quotations. There
were very few trades in August, but the
break caused some selling of later months
and the market was easier during the mid
afternoon, with December selling off to
30.15, or 7 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 13.—After a period
of unsettled trading during which prices
fell 15 to 16 points under yesterday’s close,
cotton today braced up for fairly wide gains
on rumors that an armistice between Russia
and Poland had been signed. At the end of
the first hour of trading, prices were 13 to
19 points over yesterday’s finals. October
fell to 30.10 and then reacted to 30.44.
Report of damage to the crop and unsat
isfactory results as regards fruitage from
cool nights and too much moisture came In
from many points in the western belt and
served to widen the advance. Late in the
morning the trading was 23 to 27 points
higher than yesterday's final, October trad
ing at 30.50.
Traders w-ho were buyers on the early
' rumors of an armistice tired of their hold
ings and commenced to let go. causing wide
slumps which carried prices 15 to 23 points
under the level of yesterday’s close. Late
in the day the tone was somewhat steadier
with the active months 9 points under to
15 points over the final prices of yester
day.

places in the box. a strained hush
fell on the crowd.
“Gentlemen, have you reached a
verdict?” asked the judge.
The foreman, Rev. E. G. Ham
mond, nodded.
“What is it?”
“Not guilty.”
A vast sigh passed over the crowd,
but there was no applause. Mrs.
Bradsreet rose, her head flung
“I thank you, gentlemen, very
much,” she said in a clear voice.
She fell back into her seat, while
lawyers and others nearby reached
over to shake her hand. As the jurors
crowded past her chair, she reached
up and sTiook hands with each of
them.
Smiles at Crowd
The crowd waited. Mrs. Brad
street rose, facing them. She shrank
for a second, then walked up the
crowded aisle. She smiled at them,
a little questioningly, a little piti
fully, and many of them smiled
b£ck.
Her brother was at her side. They
go ta taxicab, and a few minutes
later had disappeared in the night
toward Atlanta. With the red roads
clogged with mud, it must have been
midnight before they reached home
—midnight and Friday the thir
teenth! But not exactly unlucky for
Mrs. Katherine Bradstreet.
There still is one charge hanging
over Mrs. Bradstreet. She is Charg
ed in the United States court with
defrauding the United States gov
ernment by accepting the pay allot
ments of W. B. Shoemaker, formerly
a soldier at Camp Gordon.
The case was another of the
stormy episodes in her career of the
last two years. She met Shoemaker,
she says, while she was engaged to
Bradstreet, and before her divorce
from Tate, her first husband, had
been granted. Her acquaintance with
Green was goihg on at the time, too.
Shoemaker, on the eve of de
parture to France with the Eighty
second division, “talked me into mar
rying him,” according to Mrs. Brad
street. She says she didn’t know
her final decree from Tate had not
been granted. Later it was granted,
she says she thought her marriage
to Shoemaker was illegal, and mar
ried Bradstreet.
As to the matter of the pay alott
ments, the whole business is “just a
mistake and will be cleared up,”
when the case is heard in the United
States court later this month, ac
cording to Attorney Harrison, who
will defend her.
Dispatches from Freeport, 111.,
Shoemaker’s home, stated Friday
that the ex-soldier has filed suit
there to annul his marriage to Mrs.
Bradstreet on the ground that she
was not divorced from Tate. The
dispatches state that, after Shoe
maker’s departure to France, Mrs.
Bradstreet went to Freeport and vis
ited Shoemaker’s omther and sister.
In this connection, it is interesting
to note that one of her love letters
to Green produced at the trial
Thursday bore a Freeport date line.

Green’s fate still is to be finally
decided. He was convicted at his
trial in the spring and sentenced to
seven years for embezzlement. His
attorneys appealed for a new trial,
but Judge Hutcheson denied their pe
tition. Then they appealed to the
court of appeals, but the court has
not yet passed on the appeal.
In the meantime. Green is enjoy
ing comparative liberty under heavy
bond. He is, however, a broken man.
When he testified for the defense at
the Bradstreet trial Thursday, he
looked much grayer, older and de
feated than when, at his own trial,
he sat day after day with his law
yers, smiling at times, and apparent
ly in good health.
He keeps close at the- home of his
mother in Fairburn, where his wife
and his little girl sometimes come to
see him from his old home across
the town which the bank is trying to
get in part reparation for the em
bezzlement.
While the acquittal of Mrs. Brad
street, as has been stated, was not
altogether unpopular in Campbell
county, opinion when the case went
to the jury was about evenly divid
ed as to whether she would be de
clared guilty or innocent. As one
woman put it, “When Judge Hill got
through talking, I just knew she
was going free, he had me that sor
ry for her! But when Colonel Na
pier started, and when he got
through, I was all up in the air, and
I wasn’t so sorry for her, either!”
The attorneys’ arguments, in fact,
were genuine masterpieces of logic
and oratory combined. They start
ed when court reconvened and did
not end until 5 o’clock, when Colonel
Napier ended and Judge Hutcheson
began his charge to the jury.
Solicitor Napier began the sum
ming up of the state’s case against
Mrs. Bradstreet by reading a num
ber of decision in embezzlement
cases. He read the indictment
against her and then, standing in
front of the jury box, launched into
a brief resume of his argument.
He charged that the intimate rela
tions between Green and Mrs. Brad
street, her easy acceptance of his
money and gifts ranging from a fur
coat to a luxurious home, her will
ingness to take stock in the Fair
burn bank without putting up a cent,
all confirmed the allegation that she
conspired with Green to defraud the
bank.
“Later,” continued Solicitor Na
pier,” I will show you in detail how
the facts confirm the indictment.”
Attorney Fred Harrison, opening
for the defense, declared that never
in his life had he heard a case where
so much Irrelevant testimony was
introduced. He urged the jury to
disregard all but one issue, whether
she was guilty of embezzlement, not
of other possible methods, to re
member that she always thought of
Green, by his own testimonv, as a
“wealthy banker” well provided with
money of his own.
She THtrußted Green
He drew a word picture of the
case as he saw it. Green, the mayor
or Sunday school superintendent,
“first citizen” of his community
Mrs. Bradstret, a young country girl,
not then eighteen, coming to At
lanta to meet “Uncle Jack.” who.
fro mthe beginning, declared Attor
ney Harrison, had designs on her.
and showered her with presents.
“If Green had gven her a mil
lion and she never knew the moitfy
came from the Fairburn bank, she
would not be guilty,” asserted Mr.
Harrison.
He declared Green, to make an im
pression on her, never for one mo
ment, allowed her to belive that he
was a $266 a month cashier, his
home not paid for. He always posed
as a man of wealth, asserted Har
rison, and Mrs. Bradstreet never
doubted for a moment-that he was
all he said he was.
That, declared Attorney Harrison,
was the long and short of the case.
Green never let Mrs. Bradstreet think
that he couldn’t afford his gifts right
out of his own pocket; Mrs. Brad
street never suspected he couldn’t
afford them. She had not the re
motest idea that he was embezzling,
how, then, could she be guilty of
embezzling herself?
“When the bank examiners, the
bank officers and the directors
didn’t know embezzlement was go
ing on right under their noses, how
in the world was Mrs. Bradstreet,
way up there in Atlanta, to know it?’’
demanded Attorney Harrison.
Attorney Harrison finished his ar
gument by charging that Mrs. Brad
street had been persecuted ever since
her arrest and it was high time she
was given justice and a verdict of
not guilty.
Judge Ben Hill closed the argu
ment for the defense. He discussed
the various legal phases of the case
in an effort to show that Mrs. Brad
street never stole the money herself,
because she wasn’t in Fairburn and
was entrusted with no funds of the
bank; that sh ewas not an accessory
before the fact, because it was ridi
culous to suppose she, an 18-year-old
girl, formed a plot for Green to car
ry out and that, lastly she was not
an accessory after the fact; she did
not know Green stole, didn’t try to
cover up his gifts, but fairly paraded
his extravagant purchases.
“Bill Green was a better man than
the Poltroon Adam, whose excuse
was ‘the woman tempted me,’ ” said
Judge Hill. “Bill Green, shaken dis
eased, afflicted, his future black be
fore him, came into this courthouse
today, and like a man, said 1 was to
blame.’ She never knew where the
money came from, she is innocent.”
Judge Hill referred to the Biblical
story of Mary Magdalene in an emo
tional appeal that brought tears into
the eyes of Mrs. Queen and of Mrs.
Bradstreet herself. The very fact
that no hint of defrauding the bank
appeared in any of the letters from
Mrs. Bradstreet to Green, read at the
morning session, proved she knew
nothing of the crime, declared Judge
Hill. .
Judge Hill’s speech was a masterly
plea for Mrs. Bradstreet, shot with
humor as well as with pathos. He
held the crowded courtroom hushed
under the spell of his words for up
wards of an hour and a half.
Colonel Napier declared that Judge
Hill’s main argument waff “She is
a woman. Acquit her.” He urged
the jury, not to be swayed by mere
sentiment, but to steel themselves
to carry out the mission of justice.
He declared it was impossible for
Mrs. Bradstreet to have accepted the
vast sums she did from Green with
out knowing he was ruining the Fair
burn bank. Colonel Napier dwelt on
Green’s extravagant purchases for
Mrs. Bradstreet, the diamonds, the
fur coats, the kimono embroidered
with storks and apple blossome, the
bracelets he himself twined about her
arms.
Rikened to Cleopatra
As Solicitor Napier progressed, he
drove home point after point against
Mrs. Bradstreet. He read telling
passages from the love letters to
Green, avoiding those that were
sheerly sentimental or salacious, but
emphasizing sentences indicating, he
declared, that Mrs. Bradstreet must
have been cognizant of Green's jug
glery of the bank’s funds.
When Judge Hill compared Mrs.
Bradstreet to Mary Magdalen, the
prosecuting attorney likened her to
Cleopatra, who bundled into an
oriental rug, had herself sent to
Caesar and, unfolded, ran to him in
a filmy garment and bought his em
pire with a kiss.
“They tell you she was an ignor
ant, innocent little country girl,
gentlemen,” said the solicitor. “Do
these letters sound like innocence?”
When the solicitor ended, it was
even money whether Mrs. Bradstreet
would go free or go to jail. The long
wrangle of the jury—four hours save
for an hour for supper—is proof of
the effectiveness of his argument.
It is understood that, on the first
ballot, the jury stood nine fur ac
quittal and thfe for conviction. The
three finally were won over.

member, of course, my friends, that
I led the fight against Mr. Howell
in that memorable campaign, and
you understand, of course, the atti
tude of the Constitution and know
that it cannot be relied upon to tell
the truth where I am concerned.
“ ‘Anything, Lord, to beat Hoke
Smith,’ is the burden of the Con
stitution’s prayer; ‘anything, Lord,
to keep the people in the dark con
cerning what he has done for them
and for the state. ’’
Senator Smith declared that it
isn’t difficult to understand why the
people didn’t rally to Mr. Howell in
his gubernatorial aspirations.
“He didn’t agree with you about
the disfranchisement of the negro
and the protection of our white civ
ilization in Georgia, for one thing,”
he declared. “I did and you elected
me.
“Mr. Howell wasn’t disturbed
about the convict lease system in
Georgia, and with the help of the
legislature I smashed the system
and the convicts were placed oa your
public roads.”
Crowd With Him
Senator Smith’s reference to Mr.
Howell was an amusing incident of
a speech that carried conviction and
aroused unquestioned evidences of
sympathy among one of the most
representative audiences he has ad
dressed in the present campaign. The
faces of many ardent supporters in
races gone but not forgotten in
Georgia inspired the senator to an
unusual effort, and the response that
his remarks challenged left no doubt

Questions Answered
I—Q. Have the Indians in the
United States a right to vote?
1— A. The law that all children
born in the United States become
citizens by virtue of such birth does
not include Indians. An Indian can
not become a citizen with the right
to vote, unless he severs tribal rela
tions and lives as a white man, sat
isfying the authorities on Indian af
fairs that he is entitled to citizen
ship.
2 Q. How can a panama hat be
cleaned?
2 A. A mixture of three parts
benzine to one part magnesia, ap
plied with a small brush, is a suc
cessful cleaner for panama hats.
Scrubbing with soap and water is
usually effective, rinsing and wiping
each small area as washed.
3 Q. Do the various keys m
music express different feelings or
emotions?
3 A. There is a general belief
that certain keys do express par
ticular emotions best, and many com
posers consciously or unconsciously
employ them. The minor keys as a
class are sad, sombre, and melan-,
choly, each having particular at
tributes. In the major keys, C is
simple, naive and commonplace, G
is rural, merry; B flat, noble, ele
gant, graceful; E flat, sonorous, vig
orous, chivalrous; and so on.
4 Q. Who was Abou Ben Adhem?
4—-A. Abou Ben Adhem is the
hero of the short narative poem by
Leigh Hunt. He is supposed to be
as to the hearty approval of the
crowd.
From his mirth-making allusions
to the Atlanta Constitution and rem
iniscences of the memorable guber
natorial campaign of 1906, Senator
Smith passed to the real Issues of
the campaign—the Democratic rec
ord of achievement, the San Fran
cisco platform and the Democratic
presidential ticket. His unmistakable
indorsement of the San Francisco
platform and his laudatory refer
ences to Governor Cox were receiv
ed with cheers, and his tributes to
the accomplishments of the Demo
cratic party, in war and in peace,
were provocative of unmeasured ap
plause.
“All of us have made mistakes,”
he said. “All of us are human. I
have made mistakes. I am free to
admit them. I have in mind now a
mistake I made not so long ago. Our
hindsights are so much better than
our foresights.
“I don’t think there was any sense
in my running in the presidential
preference primary,” he remarked
with a smile, and the crowd laugh
ed. “I don’t think there was any
sense in having a primary at all.
At the time no one knew or had any
fixed idea as to who our party should
nominate at San Francisco. I knew
Attorney General Palmer wasn’t the
man and couldn’t and wouldn’t be
nominated. I believed I was as well
or better fitted for the nomination,
yet I knew I could not be elected,
if nominated, because I voted against
woman suffrage and because of my
position respecting white supremacy
in the politics of the south. But I
ran, and I am sure it was a mistake,
and I am sure the people of Georgia
believed it to be a mistake.”

SQ. W T hen was the first Atlantic
cable laid?
sr—A- The first cable was com
pleted across the Atlantic from Trin
ity bay, New Foundland, to Valencia,
Ireland, 1858. The cable, laid after
four failures, was 2,500 miles long,
and cost $1,834,500. The line was
opened by an exchange of greetings
between Queen Victoria and Presi
lent Buchanan. Other messages of
an experimental nature were sent,
but at the end of six weeks the cable
broke down completely.
6Q. What is the total forest
area of the United States?
6A. There are 500,000,000 acres
of forest land, according to the So
ciety of American Forestersy.
7Q. How many children attend
the public schools?
7 A. The 1918 statistics state
that of the 27,686,476 children be
tween the age of five and eight in
the United States, 75.3 per cent, or
20,853,516, are enrolled in public
schools, leaving almost 5,000,000 who
are not in any school. The average
school year is eight months. Os the
attendance, only 75 per cent attend
daily, which means that the average
pupil loses about two months of
school annually.
8— Q. Does a drowning person
take a grasp” on a person attempt
ing a rescue? x
8 — A. Authorities doubt such a
grasp. As soon as a drowning man
begins to lose his recollection, he
gradually slackens his hold until he
quits altogether. A rescuer should
be careful to avoid being grasped,
however. The safest method of ap
proach is at the head. Grasp the
struggler by the hair, turning him
on his back. Then throw yourself
on your back and swim, holding the
man by the hair, hfis back to your
stomach.
9 Q. What are the principal towns
in the o. belt of Texas?
9 A. Some of the principal
cities and towns in the oil section of
Texas are Burkburnett, Electra,
Wichita Falls, Breckenridge, Ranger,
Desdemons, Brownwood, Peco, Toy
ah and Houston.
10— Q. Wouldn’t It be a good idea
to start a campaign for. saving
waste paper?
10—A. Such an appeal has been
made by Secretary of Commerce
Alexander. In response to it, St.
Louis schools collected and sold
waste paper to the approximate
amount of $15,000 during the school
year just completed.
