6 MUTT AND JEFF— THE LITTLE FELLOW CAN THROW A NASTY BUNCH OF * KNUCKLES HIMSELF. BY BUD FISHER COTTON 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'.

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.

Corn closed heavy with a net loss of % to 4%c. Oats were off with corn. Provisions were weaker and lower with hogs and grain.

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. NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET Close.

COTTON MARKET OPINIONS Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: Cotton, in our opinion, is responding more to unfavor able trade conditions than to assurance of large yield.

A substantial rally is possible at any time, but we look for ma terially lower prices in the long run.

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. T. M.

TENNESSEE 36TH STATE TO RATIFY 19TH AMENDMENT (Continued from Page 1) 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. Speaking Dates Named For John N. Holder Speaking dates have been arranged for John N.

He gave the 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 the Southern railway; L. P. Kowe, clerk for the Southern railway.

They left the jail, a on story building with two ro ° m f s ’ on their way uptown met former 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 QUIZ New Questions 1. How much candy is sold in the United States?

SENATOR SMITH IS GAINING RAPIDLY JN EVERY SECTION (Continued from Page 1) 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 jr:rn'ie% and says nothing. SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1920. 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. Classified Advertisements WANTED HELP—Mai». COLORED men tnught Automobile and Elec trical Engineering.
