THE ATLANTA TRI WEEKLY JOURNAL.
Senator Smith declared that the
Constitution has been in continual po
litical alliance with Mr. Watson since
the commencement of the governor’s
race in 1908, when they used him to
accomplish his (Smith’s) for
re-election as governor. He said:
“I scarcely need remihd you that
in the presidential primary eight
years ago. when President Wilson and
Senator Underwood were the candi
dates in Georgia, the Constitution
used Mr. Watson to accomplish the
defeat of the president. They actual
ly made Mr. Watson a delegate to
the Baltimore convention.”
Continuing, Senator Smith stated
that the Constitution and Mr. Wat
son, chiefly Mr. "Watson, accomplish
ed the election of Governor Dorsey
for his first term. , -
“Indeed,” declared the senator,
“Mr. Watson has charged, and the
charge hasn’t been denied, that Gov
ernor Dorsey went to his (Watson’s)
home at Thomson and spent the
night with him before announcing his
candidacy for governor.”
Senator Smith added that Governor
Dorsey and Mr. Wataon were recent
ly in close conference at the Kimball
House, in Atlanta, according to Mr.
Watson’s own statement, and that in
the recent presidential primary the
Constitution was Mr. Watson’s prin
cipal vehicle for publicity.
“But, my friends, I want to re-,
mind you there has never been a time
in the past fifteen years when the
Howells have succeeded in an elec
tion without the aid of Mr. Thomas
•B. "Watson,” remarked Senator Smith.
“He has been their chief political as
sistant for years.”
“Notwithstanding the relations
that have existed between Mr. Wat
son and the Constitution, the Con
stitution professes to fight me be
cause of my alleged relations wtth
Mr. Watson, yet Mr. Watson himself
has declared publicly that I have
neither Spoken nor written to him
in twelve years."
Fake Tobacco Tax
Senator Smith called attention to
the financial difficulties in which
the state now finds itself under the
administration of Governor Dorsey,
and remarked upon the collection by
the governor of? 60,000 “fake” to
bacco taxes from the merchants of
the state, for which the governor
paid his collectors 20 per cent.
“The tax was illegal, it seems, but
only about SB,OOO .has been refunded
to the business men of the state
frojn whom it was exacted,” said
Senator Smith.
The senator’s allusions to the to
bacco tax aroused a keen interest,
for here in ,Dawson, as elsewhere
in Georgia, the collection of the
“fake” tax has been tfhe source of
much comment even among the gov
ernor’s close friends.
Senator Smith spoke of the fi
nances of the state with a clearness
and fairness and familiarity born of
his experience as governor, and de
clared that the empty treasury and
pauperized state institutions are not
calculated to encourage confidence in
the business sagacity of the chief
executive.
“But little inquiry is needed to
demonstrate that the financial man
agement of the affairs of the state
has been bad,” he said. “If such
a record had been made during my
administration as governor whole
pages of the Atlanta Constitution
would have been devoted to telling
of my failure.”
Before passing to the accomplish
ments of the Democratic party at
Washington, Senator Smith invited
attention to the threatened attack on
ALEXANDER HAS
GIVEN NOTICE OF
HIS CANDIDACY
United States Attorney Hooper
Alexander, of Decatur, Saturday is
sued the formal announcement of his
candidacy for congress from the
Fifth district, composed of Camp
bell, DeKalb, Douglas. Fulton and
Rockdale counties, opposing the in
cumbent, William D. Upshaw, who is
a candidate for re-eiection, and B. M.
Blackburn.
Alexander headquarters have been
opened at Room 502 Kimball house
in charge of Robert Ramspeck, well
known insurance man of Decatur.
Mr. Alexander announce! that he will
endeavor to speak in every militia
district in the five counties, and that
he and Attorney William Schley
Howard, former congressman, will
speak at the Douglasville courthouse
next Saturday.
Mr. Alexander, next October, will
have served as United States attor
ney for the northern , district of
Georgia for seven years. He former
ly was a .practicing attorney and
several times represented DeKalb
county in the legislature.
the election laws of Georgia and
other southern states.
“There is now pending in the sen
ate a resolution by Senator Moses, of
New Hampshire, proposing an inves
tigation of our election laws,” he said.
“At my instance I was named as a
member of the subcommittee of the
judiciary committee to which this
resolution was referred, and so far
I have been able to prevent action
upon it.
“Mr. Clark Howell, in his candidacy
against me for governor, opposed the
constitutional amendment which to
day frees us from the danger of
trouble at our ballot box from igno
rant and purchasable negro votes.
Governor Dorsey supported Mr
Howell in this position.
“Interference with our election
laws and the race problem is prob
ably the most dangerous action
threatening our people. lam in sym
pathy with our election laws. The
suffrage amendment was enacted dur
ing my administration as governor,
and with my earnest support. I am
familiar with* its provisions and
heartily indorse its purpose.
"I am prepared to defend our suf
frage laws, and I believe I am qual
ified to perform the service, when
the occasion arise. Lay aside ; our
personal prejudices and continue my
opportunity for service. I believe I
am better fitted than Governor
Dorsey, who opposed your suffrage
laws.”
Senator Smith discussed, in detail,
all of the great legislative enact
ments of the Democratic administra
tion, and dwelt at 'length upon the
Importance of improving and pro
tecting these great measures that
have contributed so much to the wel
fare of the nation.
“I am not seeking re-election to
the senate because I want the office, '
he said. “I am a candidate because
I believe I can be of service to
people of Georgia and because it
pleases me to serve you.”
GOVERNMENT MAY
DROP CHARGES IN
BRADSTREET CASE
Mrs. Catherine Bradstreet’s ac
quittal v at Fairburn Thursday of
charges of complicity in the embez
zlement of funds of the Fairburn
Banking company probably brought
her court career to a close, it was
indicated at the Federal building
Saturday.
Department of justice officials ex
pressed the opinion that she would
not face trial in the United States
court for alleged illegal acceptance
of the army allotment of her former
husband, w. B. Shoemaker, a former
Camp Gordon soldier, but that she
would pay back to the government
the amount of ■ approximately S4OO
which she is charged with having
ilegally accepted, which would stop
the proceedings against her.
It became known Saturday that
Mrs. Bradstreet has been given an
opportunity to return the allotment
money and end the case made against
her. It also became known that she
indicated her willingness to do this
a few days after her preliminary
hearing before United States Com
missioner Colquitt Carter three
weeks ago when she was placed un
der ?500 bond pending consideration
of her case by the federal grand
jury.
Is Usual Policy
Special Agent A. E. Farland, of
the department of justice, said the
opportunity extended Mrs. Bradstreet
to pay back the' amount she received
in allotments was in line with the
department’s policy. Thousands of
allotment checks mailed by the war
risk bureau during the war which
were cashed by people not legally
entitled to them are now being re
paid in monthly or weekly install
ments, he said.
“The government,” said Mr. Far
land, “has extended the opportunity
to repay allotment money in all cases
where technicalities arose or where
it was apparent that the money was
accepted without wilful intent to de
fraud.”
In Mrs. Bradstreet’s case it is
claimed that she believed herself to
be the legal wife of Shoemaker when
she accepted the government checks
in payment of his compulsory allot
ment and the family allowance added
by the war risk bureau.

COTTON
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—The cotton mar
ket was nervous and unsettled during to
day’s early trading, with prices making
new low ground for the movement. Weath
er reports appeared to be disregarded, with
the trade evidently receiving an unfavorable
impression from the European political
news, and the opening was easy at a de
cline of 100 points on August and of 12
to 27 points on later months. There was
very little demand for August, which sold
off to 31.50 c under liquidation, and later
months soon showed net losses of 25 to
51 points, with October selling at 30.43 c
and January at 28.70 c under New Orleans,
southern and local pressure, accompanied by
reports of an easier tone in some of the
southwestern spot markets on Saturday.
The tone was still unsettled but selling
was less active and mid-afternoon prices
showed ralleis of 15 or 20 points from the
lowest on covering.
Rumors that continental importers were
temporarily withdrawing buying orders for
spot cotton because of unsettled European
conditions and that -the southwest was sell
ing hedges here had an unsettling effect
later. Sellers were also encouraged by the
more favorable western belt forecast and
the break extended to 30.00 for October and
28.43 for January, or 59 to 94 points below
Saturday’s closing. There was enough cover
ing at this level to cause rallies of a few
points, but the tone of the market was
still nervous and unsettled around mid
day.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16. —The foreign
political situation and a private bureau re
port claiming as high a condition figure
for the midmonth as for the end of the
July period caused heavy selling of cotton
today and in the first hour of business
prices fell 35 to 44 points, October drop
ping to 29.26 c and March to 27.90 c. The
market received little support on the way
down, except from shorts who wanted their
profits.
The forecast of dry weathtr over the west
ern half of the belt is increasing selling
pressure materially, and when the market
softened under it x. stop-loss orders were
reached on the long side. Late in the morn
ing prices were 58 to 82 points under the
close of Saturday, with October at 29c and
March at 27.72 c.
Rumors that Warsaw had been taken,
made the market weaker than ever and the
most severe selling pressure of the session
came in th last hour when the active
months were driven 86 to 114 points under
the close of Saturday, October falling to
28.65 and March to 27.44. There was much
realizing on the short side on the'way down
but it hardly served to steady the market
at the decline. Market closed barely steady
at net decline of 88 to 107 points.

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 10.—Political
news, the reports of Bolslieviki aggression
on a larger scale than ever and rumors that
Warsaw had fallen, were mainly responsible
for the decline in the cotton market today
but some selling was based on the Commer
cial Appepal’s crop report, indicating as high
a condition as on July 25, when that journal
placed the percentage at 76.6 of normal/
While the weather may was not as wet as
usual the detailed reports made it plain that
too much rain had fallen over Sunday but
tills caused no buying of consequence. If i>o
litical news continues unfavorable the ten
dency will probably continue lower.
GRAIN

THOMSON, M'KENNON' & CO. S GRAIN
LETTER
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—Hesitating market,
between reports of fairly good demand on
one side and good receipts in the west,
with a little freer offerings by dealers.
The inquiries noted did not result in the
report of any new business. The market is
inclined to be flat.
Corn started stronger on a rather unfa
vorable Illinois report and small receipts for
today. Reports of good rains in territory
complained of in the Illinois state report
caused this item to lose any strength it
might have had. General selling led by local
and eastern people disclosed a weak mar
ket and one practically devoid of resting
orders until the market had declined 4 cents
for the September. Cash was in poor de
mand at 2 to 6 cents decline in face of
very light receipts. It looks as though we
would have to have some new incentive in
order to get advances again. Foreign news
was not a feature. Still continue to advise
meeting any sharp upturns with sales.
Oats were very heavy, not only in* sym
pathy with corn, but on their own merits..
Receipts are liberal and cash demand poor".
We expect to see them seek loiver levels.
Provisions started higher with higher
priced hogs and while the weakness in grai*
led to a loss of some advance the complex
ion of buying .was good.
GAIN MARKET” OPINIONS
Bartlett, Frazier * Co.: The temper is
very bearish and buying poorer small in
corn. Oats receipts should be heavier in the
near future.
Clement, Curtis & Co.: Believe sales on
quick upturns should prove profitable on all
grains.
Press & Co.: Britain received its first
full cargo of Manchurian wheat and flour
and reports the quality excellent. The
prospect is splendid in corn witli exception
of crop lateness. We believe final figure
on oats crop will exceed all estimates.

discovered and when did it come into
practical use?
5. A. The credit for the basic
discovery of the electric light is
probably due to Sir Humphrey Davy,
who in 1810 observed the electric arc
and produced incandescense of a fine
platinum wire in connection with his
experiments with a 2,000-cell battery.
