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 cannt a FULLER E. CALLAWAY., .. 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.

X**.*!j A'xLAxv’A'A Axil-45 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.

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.

BRADSTREET FREE, WILL TRY TO’ STAGE “COME-BACK” (Continned from Page 1) 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, a Broken Man ' 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. HOKE SMITH AGAIN - OFFERS TO MEET WATSON ON STUMP (Continued from Page 1) 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 SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 192 Q, S LJ 0 Hew Questions 1.

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.

There is a general belief that certain keys do express par ticular emotions best, and many com posers consciously or unconsciously employ them.

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.” EDUCATIONAL FUNDS LEFT HIGH AND DRY BY THE LEGISLATURE (Continued from Page 1) maintenance; concurred in by the senate.
