NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—There was a re
newal of yesterday’s selling movement at
the opening of the cotton market today.
The better Polish news and the extent of
yesterdays’ break led to some talk of a
reaction and scattered covering but after
opening alfca decline of 28 to 57 points on
the months, prices broke 45 to 80
points from last night’s-* closing under con
tinued heavy liquidation and local Wall
street and southern selling. The pressure
was promoted by the somewhat more favor
able weather in the south, yesterday’s de
clines in southern spot markets and ’ unfa
vorable reports from .tile goods trade .while
much of the selling.was attributed to the
feeling against high prices generally. Octo
ber sold off to 25.04 and December tq
27.20 or about ISO to, 20 Opoints below the
high level of yesterday.
Prices made new low ground for the move
ment on most positions during the early aft
etrnoon with December seling off to 27.05
and atcive months generally about 70 to 95
points net lower. There was continued trade
selling, liquidation by early buyers for a
reaction and selling for Liverpool accounts.
There were rallies later on covering and
buying for a reaction, with October selling
up to 28.55 nnd December to 27.60. or some
40 to 50 points from the early low levels.
The bulge met renewed liquidation of long
contracts which was accompanied by. reports,
that mill hedges were being sold owing to
depression in the goods trade, nnd the rallies
were not fully maintained with aictiye
months ruling about 30 to 45 points net
lower around midday'.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 19.—Heavy sell
ing opened the trading in cotton today and
In the first hour of business prices lost
6 7to 877 points, October falling to 27.25
and March to 25.80. Poor cables, continued
reports of dull and lower cotton goods and
yarn markets and somewhat better weather
over the belt were back of the selling. The
market got little support from any quarter.
After the first selling flurry was over the
market felt a fairly good demand from
realizing shorts and it made small recov
eries. Toward noon it was 27 to 30 points
UP from the lowest. The forecast of partly
c}oudy to unsettled and showery weather
for the belt prompted some of this buying.
The market acted well liquidated of its
long interest, which helped to give It a
better feeling.
Jn the last half of the session the market
turned very weak under selling which ap
peared to be prompted by expectations of
further declines in intrior spot centers. Late
in the session prices were 107 to 114 points
under the finals of yesterday, with October
at s27c and March at 25.45 c. These were
the lowest prices in about a year.

THOMSON, M’KINNON & CO. GRAIN
LETTER
HICAGO, Aug. 19.—Wheat: While the for
eign bids were very poor, evidently the de
mand to fill old sales was rather good as
the market ruled steady to firm all day.
Corn—This market continued its decline
early, helped b ya good deal of moisture
over night in the belt, with more predicted,
with the exception of possible trouble from
the coal situation, there was nothing in the
news to make for more than a natural re
action. but that seemed probable after the
opening weakness was established. There
seems a disposition in some parts of the corn
courftry to commence to move corn a little
more freely on account of the excellent
crop outlook. Any increased receipts would
quickly affect casli premiums as the de
mand is of small proportions now. Possibly
we may have a little more of a trading mar
ket for a few days but sales preferably of
December on any advances we think are
advisable. A car of new Texas corn was
reported received at Kansas City today.
Oats sympathized with corn, of course,
but had some inherent weakness of its own
on the liberal movement. We expect them
to work lower.
Provisions—Stop orders made some decline
on a very narrow market. The packers give
the market a little support, as they seem to
be doing now on all the breaks.
GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS
Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: The surroundings
of the wheat market are very strong and it
is apparent that there will be eager buyers
on declines. On further declines believe
buying power will enlarge decidedly in corn.
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: Expect lower
prices for today.
Leland & Co.: Wheat is in a strong po
sition and prices will not recede, with good
export demaid, we expect moderate reac
tion in corn, especially if receipts continue
high.. Would not press this break too far,
although oats prices appear a little too high.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS
Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: Cotton, in
our opinion, is responding more to unfavor
able trade conditions than to assurance of
large yield. The crop, appears to be holding
its own fairly well, tint the unsettled state
of the textile industry is the depressing in
fluence at present. A substantial rally is
possible at any time, but we look for ma
terially lower prices in the long run.
Carpenter & Co.: The continued break in
prices may be considered natural from a
long period of short crops to a new era ot
adequate supply.
Jay & Co.: The decline todny has un
doubtedly placed the market in a healthier
position, with possibilities of a temporary
recovery.
S. M. Weld & Co.: For the time being we
ndvise waiting until the market sltows
signs of having reached the bottom before
making

SHEPARD & CLARK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS Au?. 19. —Yesterday’s
selling movement was brought over into to
days ession almost full force and wide de
clines resulted until enough realizing came
from shorts to check the decine. Better news
from abroad and continued claims of wide
spread crop deterioration had no effect on
values. Sentiment is getting very bearish
and was increased by the declines in spot
markets yesterday of 25 to 100 points. At
the same time, following much wide de
clines as have occurred of late, it would
appear reasonable to look for substantial re
actions nt almost, any time.

to the story of their state by their
work for the ratification of the
nineteenth amendment.”
PROBE OF ALLEGED
LOBBYING CONDUCTED
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 20.
The house of representatives was
prepared for an attempt to reopen
the suffrage question at its session
today.
While those opposed to ratifica
ton have not revealed their plans,
it was expected Speaker Seth M.
Walker would bring up his motion
to reconsider the resolution of rati
fication, and would attempt to re
verse the decision of the house.
Walker had two days in which to
do this, and after today the oppor
tunity will have passed under the
rules.
After today, any representative
who voted affirmatively may ask
for a reconsideration, but suffragists
declare there is little chance that
this will be done.
“The opposition is routed,” said
Representative Joseph Hanover,
leader of the suffrage forces.
Mr. Walker declared 47 members
have signed an agreement to vote for
a reconsideration and that ' three
more will be obtained, bringing the
total to 50, a majority of the mem- I
bership. I
The antl-suffragists have used I
every effort to change the lineup since I
suffrage was ratified Wednesday and I
the suffrage proponents have watch- I
ed their moves. The antis held a I
mass meeting last night at which I
Speaker Walker, Representative I
Bond and others spoke.
There is a well-founded report I
that the suffragists will send certi
fied copies of the journals of the
house and senate to Secretary of
State Colby, as proof of ratification.
This would be done on the theory
that the house cannot legally recon
sider a ratification which it has once
voted.
Another report, which seems to
have less foundation, is that the
anti-suffragists will contest? the
seats of four or five representa
tives.
The Davidson county grand jury
resumed its investigation of lobby
ing activities. J. s. Eichelberger,
field secretary for the American
Constitutional League, who testified
yesterday, was to appear again to
day.
Cox-Harding Debate
Likely on August 31
COLUMBUS, O„ Aug. 20.—A joint
political debate of the Lincoln-Doug
las type between Governor James M.
Cox and Senator Warren G. Harding,
in which each of the major presiden
tial candidates will make his supreme
bid for support from his home state
in the November election, is in pros
pect for Tuesday, August 31, at the
Ohio state fair. It was definitely an
nounced today that Cox will address
the fair on that day. Senator Hard
ing tentatively accepted some time
ago.
The Democratic nominee’s accept
ance, made after that of Senator
Hard’jig, practically amounts to a de
liberate challenge for his Republican
opponent to meet him in such debate,
in the minds of political observers
here.
Ohio’s third presidential candidate,
Rev. Aaron Watkins, of Germantown,
also has been asked by the state fair
management to address the fair
crowd on August 31. Acceptance of
the prohibition nominee was expect
ed today.

names of the other card players,
four in number, as E. M. Sayer, of
Athens, with the same company; C.
E. Murray, of Atlanta, traveling for
a roofing company, and Dave Gor
don, a merchant of Buford.
“We were playing cards, and there
were several other people in *the lob
by,” stated Mr. Jackson. “The first
thing we knew was when the book
smashed against the wall. We look
ed up, and there stood Watson by the
railing. He disarfpeared into his
room, but returned immediately
with a water pitcher in his hand, he
brandished the pitcher oyer his head,
threatening us and cursing us. 1
was really afraid he was going to
throw it, and so were the others. All
of us ducked, and some of us got be
hind chairs and other furniture, yell
ing to him not to throw it. Then
Miss Wiiey, Mr. Howe and Miss
Wiley’s brother went up and tried
to quiet him, and soon afterward the
officers came.”
The names of others who were in
the lobby and were eye-witnesses to
the affair were given by Miss Wiley
as follows: Professor W. k-
Munn, superintendent of the Butora
school system; E. A. Lyle, a barber
living at the hotel; Prince Royal
superintendent of the A ona Al e
Shoe factory; Will Lewis ; ajent for

This morning at about 8 o cl ock
Mayor J. L. Shadburn, Sheriff J.
R. ’ Shadburn, John L Kelly, of
Lawrenceville, Mr. Watson s attor
ney, and others called at the Jail
and reached an agreement about

Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, VS •
E. Brandt, of Mr. Hardwick s cam
paign organization, and otnei
friends, who had just arrived on
the 8:30 train. The Party first
walked through a heavy rain to Ue
home of Winfield Rowe, a Buf°^ d
merchant, who had been present at
the hotel the previous night. Here
Mr. Watson declined to make a
statement to newspapermen. Then
they returned to the hotel, taking
the same room Mr. Watson had
occupied. There both bonds were
signed by Arthur Brogdon, a. Buford
citizen, and a supporter of Mr. Wat
b°Shortlv afterward, Mr. Hardwick
stated that Mr. Watson would not
deliver his speech . scheduled for
eleven o’clock this morning m Bu
ford and that he would cancel his
speaking engagements for the rest
of the week. He was to have spoken
in Gainesville during the after
noon and at Crawford on Friday.
Statement by Watson
Mr. Watson, accompanied by Mr.
Kelly and Mr. Brandt, took the first
train this morning back to Atlanta,
en route to Thomson, Mr. VV atson s
home. Shortly before they left Mr,
Watson gave cut a. written state
ment prepared at his room at the
Merchants’ hotel in conference with
his friends. The statement follows:
“After my nervous collapse in
Florida two years ago, it has been
necessary at times for me to take
a stimulant after extraordinary ex
ertion. While conducting the pres
ent campaign at the age of 64, 1
have been addressing enormous
crowds, and acting on the advaice
of my physician, Dr. Thomas K.
Wright, I have been taking small
amounts of stimulants after extra
ordinary exertion.
“At Winder Wednesday, I address
ed an enormous crowd, speaking di
rectly under a heavy warehouse roof.
Almost all of the speakers at Win
der were overcome with the heat.
Seeing this, a friend of mine at Win
der gave me a small bottle of corn
whisky, from which he had taken
several drinks and from which I took
two only, one at Winder and one at
Buford as I went to bed after having
eaten for the first time during the
whole day.
‘‘The noise of the gentlemen who
were playing cards in the lobby
came directly into my room because
of the relative situation of the lobby
to my room. I felt obliged to have
some rest, for I was absolutely
broken down and tired. When the
noise continued, 1 stepped out of my
room to the lobby rail and tossed
a book down to attract their atten
tion, saying that the loud conversa
tion of the card players made it im
possible for me to sleep.
“During this conversation I did
not see the proprietress at any time,
nor did I see anybody else in the
lobby except those who were playing
cards. They broke up their game, and
I returned to my room.
• “To my -utter astonishment and
without being told of what offense I
was accused, I was seized by two
powerful policemen, with whom I
struggled for liberty. As they did
not tell me my offense and did not
exhibit any warrant, I was not aware
of having disturbed anyone except
the gentlemen playing cards. I was
not aware that the landlady was
anvwhere near.
“In the struggle with the police
men,- my underclothing was torn and
disarranged through no fault of
mine. Os qourse, when I was being
treated that way, I used some pretty
rough language, having no knowl
edge of the presence of the lady. I
apologized to her profusely for saying
anything which she may have heard.”
After giving out this- statement,
Mr. Watson referred, inquiries for
other information to his attorney,
John I. Kelley.
Not long after the - party had
gathered In Mr. Watson’s room, fol
lowing their brief stay at Mr. Rowe’s
home. Mr. Hardwick came out, intro
duced himself to Miss Wiley and
explained that he wished to apolo
gize for Mr. Watson. Newspaper
men were standing by as he spoke
to her.
Hardwick Delivers Apology
“Mr. Watson wishes to apologize
to you for any offense he may have
given,” said Mr. Hardwick. ‘‘Mr.
Watson is an old man. He is sixty
five. And he has been under a tre
mendous strain in this campaign. On
his doctor’s advice, he took a stim
ulant yesterday. I want to assure
you that Mr. Watson did not know
you were present last night when
he came out of his room. He was
really not in his right mind at the
time, and he is sincerely sorry if
he said or did. anything to offend

2. Q. —Who was the oldest presi
dent of the United States?
2. A. —William Henry Harrison, a
Whig, who was inaugurated in 1841

New York, on May 8, 1886.
а. Q. —What was the “balm of Gil

tember primary will vindicate the
views I hear expressed.
While I was not at Cordele when
Senator Smith spoke there, I have
heard from the effect of this speech
all over South Georgia, I am per
suaded that it ‘Was the most effec
tive speech Senator Smith has ever
made in our section of Georgia and
I believe such an appeal as this is
certain to win for him the election.
“The people of Southeast Georgia
are beginning to realize, many of
them to their sorrow, that*vGover
nor Dorsey’s candidacy is operative
only as a means to the possible elec
tion of Mr. Watson, and that’ the
governor himself is making no head-,
way as a candidate. The view is
crystallizing that he was placed in
the race in the hope only of defeat
ing Senator Smith any re
gard whatever to the welfare of the
party.”
From Walton county W. M. Cook
writes expressing gratification that
the senator is to .speak at Monroe
and declares his belief that the
speech is all that is required to place
Walton county in his column.
Senator Smith’s mail in none of
his campaigns has been heavier nor
more encouraging than that which is
now deluging his headquarters at the
Piedmont hotel.
Logfs proves or disproves all
things—but it accomplishes nothing.
Sometimes a man lies when he

Tobacco Tax Defended
By Dorsey Thursday
In His Opening Speech
FAYETTEVILLE, Ga., Aug. 19.
■Without replying to the challenge
of Senator Hoke Smith for a joint
debate, and vigorously defending
his actions concerning the collec
tion of the illegal tobacco tax from
country merchants, Governor Hugh
M. Dorsey opened his campaign for
the United States senate today in
the town of his nativity, speaking
for one hour and a half to an
audience that almost filled the Fay
ette county Sunday school taber
nacle, the attendance being esti
mated by Dorsey leaders at between
five and six hundred.
The. governor reached Fayette
ville with his mother Wednesday
night. He was met by a large dele
gation and given a cordial recep
tion. His mother hehrd his speech
and smiled proudly as the governor
poi nted to his public record and
flayed his opponents.
In reviewing the accomplishment
of the Democratic administration,
the governor declared that one of
the greatest pieces of constructive
legislation ever enacted was the es
tablishment of the /Federal Reserve
Bank system, which had removed
the south from under the yoke of
northern capitalists. However, the
governor, forget to give Senator
Smith credit for the prominent and
effective part he played in framing
this legislation and also overlooked
the fact that it was chiefly through
Senator Smith’s efforts that one of
the reserve banks was located in
Georgia.
Mr. Dorsey was introduced by Rev.
W. W. Walker, who called Governor
Dorsey the “only loyal Democrat in
the senatorial race.”
“He is one of our own honored
sons, and is a man who will not
sell out,” he said. Mr. Walker paid
a tribute to the governor’s father,
who was for many years a citizen
of Fayette county.
•The governor was greeted by en
thusiastic cheers.
Decision on Profiteering
Will Be Contested
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.. Aug. 20.
The profiteering laws of Alabama
will be tested from the constitu
tional angle, according to A. Leo
Oberdorfer, attorney for D. B. Gold
stein, who'was fined SIOO on a charge
of profiteering in a local court.
Goldsteih testified he ’paid $1.75 for
a pair of hose, which he sold for
$1.79. The court held that the price
constituted profiteering, saying that
the intrinsic value of the hose was
not anythin?* like the selling price,
notwithstanding the merchant had
paid $1.75 for them. The court ruled
that the selling price of goods must
be based upon the reasonable in
trinsic value, regardless of the cost
price. The case was appealed, and
the constitutionality of the profiteer
ing act will be tested.
