NEW YORK. Aug. 23.—The cotton mar
ket was extremely nervous and unsettled dur
ing today’s trading, owing to violent fluctu
ations in Liverpool, where early advances
were followed by a break equivalent to ap
proximately a cent a pound. The opening
here was easy with August 100 points lower,
while October and November showed ad
vances of 18 to 35 points and later months
declines of 5 to 60 points under liquidation
and T.iver|>ool selling. Private cables said
the English market had been influenced by
unfavorable labor and political conditions.
There was a good deal of covering in the
local market and after the decline to 26.15
for December there were rallies of several
points.
The continued weakness of Liverpool,
which was attributed by private cables to
rumors of failures in the Far Ijlast and sell
ing by Manchester on apprehensions of a
coal strike, caused further declines here
later in the morning. All active deliveries
broke into new low ground with October
selling off to 26.50 - and December to
35.35 cor 92 to 108 points lower. Stop or
ders were uncovered and after their ex
ecution there wowe rallies of several points,
but the tone of the market showed little
improvement and the bulges were not fully
maintained.
Demand failed to broaden on moderate
midday rallies and the market soon weak
ened again under tenewed liquidation and lo
cal selling. October broke to 26.39 and De
cember to 25.25, or 107 to 118 points below
Saturday’s close and the midafternoon mar
ket was within a few points of the lowest.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 23.—Weakness
featured the opening of the new week in
the cotton market. Around the first call
there was a flqsh of strength on the mose
active months in which advances of 7 to 20
points were made. Not all months were up
and the whole list slumped the minute of
ferings increased. Liverpool’s break, said
to tie due to a boycott by India on EngfiW
goods, caused extremely heavy selling and
at .the end of the first hour of business
prices were 60 to 74 points under the close
of last week. October dropped to 25.95
and March to 24.50.
Private cablegrams from Liverpool, stat
ing that the market there was demoralized
by fear of a coal strike, caused a further
increase in offerings and late in the morn
ing October was at 25.58 c. while the list
of trading months showed net looses of
160 to 120 points. Although most traders
called the market oversold it had no re
actionary tendency.
Rumors of a further lowering of quota
tions in the spot markets of the interior
<•:: sed the heaviest selling and the weak
est period of the session. Toward the close
October dropped to 25.07 and the trading
months showed net losses of 135 to 156
points.

NSHEPARD & GLUCK cdITON LETTERN
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 23.—The selling
movement in cotton was still in force today
and it received fres himpetus from the un
favorable news from England, where a new
coal strike is threatened. There were ru
mors of a big failure in the Far East which
caused a demoralized contract market at
Liverpool. The market responded as read
ily as ever to the selling in spite of its
oversold condition and it apparently will re
quire a_ great and favorable charfge in the
situation to cause any buying of consequence
outside of the buying of covers by shorts
who want their profits.

WALTER BROWN
GIVES PLATFORM
FOR GOVERNOR
Declaring he would place the con
stitution of Georgia and the laws
of the commonwealth above all other
considerations and would commit
himself to the proposition that
“no man nor class of men shall
trample them under foot,” Walter R.
' Brown Saturday made public the
platform of which he will make the
race for governor against John N.
Holder, Clifford W. Walker and
Thomas W. Hardwick.
Mr. Brown, who is a well-known
Atlanta attorney, gave formal notice
of his candidacy one week ago. He
was for several years a member of
the Atlanta police commission and
for eight ye-ars a member of the
board of Fulton county commis
sioners.
Asserting that he will indulge in
no vituperation or abuse in the cam
paign, Mr. Brown voices his unquali
fied indorsement of the open shop
and devotes a large part of his
platform to a discussion of the
problems of organized labor, pays
his respects to Samuel Gompers,
president of organized union labor
in America, indorses bi-ennial ses
sions of the legislature, and pledges
his suport to Governor Cox .and
Frankln Roosevelt in the approach
ing presidential election.
SPEAKER DECLARES
OTHERWISE HE IS
IN RACE TO FINISH
(Ccntinv-ecl from Page 1)
least. Do not allow this to affect
your position at all. You are the
logical man for governor, and
the people are not going to turn
you down because you stayed at
your post, while one of your op
ponents dropped one piece of pie
o gain another.”
** From a farmer of Randolph
?ounty: “I have noticed in the
olumns of the Atlanta Constitu
on and Macon Telegraph that
hose papers are urging you to
tire from the raee for gover
or. I hope you will not be gov
■rned by this advice, which is
aot coming from friendly
lources. You have many sup
porters in this county, and it
• ould be embarrassing to vote
■t the orders of two men who
’.lould not be allowed to dictate
a us who we will have for gov
ernor. We claim to be good
lemocrats, and resent this sug
estion from the Constitution
ind Telegraph, and hope that
.’Ou will stay in the race and
ight it out to a finish.”
Fro ma north Georgia editor:
Noticing that the Clark Howell
lique has asked you to with
raw from the governor’s race,
■once this letter of request that
•ou stay in the race until the
inish, as I, like many more in
ais county, feel that you are the
wrongest man and will be the
.■.• inner regardless of the Atlan
ta Constitution and Macon Tele
traph’s desire that you step
lown and out for their candidate
—Clifford Walker.”
From a prominent lawyer o
'offerson county; in one hour
o-:lay I received sixty-eight slg
■tures to the Holder club for
governor. I will have the signa
tures of 90 per cent of the qual
ified voters of this district. You
ire undoubtedly the strongest
nan in this county.”
From a prominent man in
north Georgia: “Have read the
article appearing in the Macon
Telegraph and Constitution.
John Holder is a farmer and
business man, and this ought to
be his answer to this attempt to
side-track him.”
From a Montgomery county
hanker:'
‘Don’t get out of the race. All
you need is to tell the people the
glad tidings. If you let the Con
stitution put you out for Walker, -
Hardwick is certa'in Walk
er cannot beat Hardwick. Holder
undoubtedly can. The people of
Georgia should say on September
8 just who should be governor,
and not a few editors and poli
ticians.’
I could quote you from many
more communications. You have
consulted a few prominent court
officers, while I have consulted
and heard from men of all walks
of life, who say I am the strong
est man in the race.
Holder’s Proposition
I was the first man to enter
the race for governor, the first
to pay my entrance fee, and I
am the strongest candidate in the
field today. I have conducted my
campaign upon a high plane,
based upon my record, my train
ing and fitness for the office,
free from personalities and par
tisanship.
I am in no wise responsible for
the political situation to which
you refer, or to the like situa
tion in the race for the senate.
You and Mr. Anderson, of the
Macon Telegraph, forced this un
fortunate situation in the race for
the United States senate by com
pelling a third candidate to en
ter the race against his wish and
the proest of many of his
strongest friends, when the issue
was already clearly drawn be
tween Watsonism and anti-Wat
sonism.
How, Mr. Howell, I am ready,
willing and anxious to do any
thing in my power for my party
and I stand ready to relieve the
embarrassing situation in Geor
gia, but my dithdrawal from the
race for governor would accom
plish nothing unless the situa
tion in the senatorial race was
also relieved at the same time.
Since you, my political enemy,
have seen fit to advise me what
to do, now you advise your friend
and candidate to withdraw from
the race for senate, leaving only
two in that race, and I stand
ready to meet your demand and
withdraw instanter from the
? °Unless, Bhowever, 8 however, this in do » e ’
and done promptly, I am unable
to see why I should be Bacriflced
for no purpose except to help
your candidate for governor, and
not the Democracy for Georgia,
and I shall be in the race to the
finish, absolutely confident that
I shall be elected.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN N. HOLDER.

Pleasant and Easy to Use.
Dr. Blosser is the originator of a
certain combination of medicinal
herbs, flowers and berries to be
smoked in a pipe or ready prepared
cigarette which is meeting with un
usual success in catarrhal troubles.
The smoke-vapor reaches all the air
passages of the head, nose and
throat. As the disease is carried
into these passages with the air you
breathe, so the antiseptic, healing
vapor of this remedy is carried with
the breath directly to the affc:tel
parts.
This simple, practical method ap
plies the medicine where sprays,
douches, ointments, etc., cannot pos
sible go. Its effect is soothing and
healing, and is entirely harmless,
containing no cubebs, tobacco, or
habit forming drugs. It is pleasant
to use, and not sickening to those
who have never smoked. If you are
a sufferer from catarrh, asthma,
catarrhal deafness, or If subject to
frequent colds, no matter how severe
or long standing, you should tiy
Dr. Blosser’s remedy.
To prove the beneficial, pleasant
effect, The Blosser* Co., ML 402, At
lanta, Ga., will mail, for ten cents
(coin or stdmps) to any sufferer, a
sample that will verify their claims
by actual test. This trial package
contains some of this Remedy made
into cigarettes, also some of the
powder and a dainty little pipe.—

RHEUMATISM
A Remarkable Home Treatment Given by
One Who Had It
In the Spring of 1893 I was attacked
bv Muscular mid Inflammatory Rheuma
tism. I suffered as only those who have
it know for over three years. I tried
remedy after remedy, and doctor after
doctor, but such relief as 1 received was
only temporary. Finally, I found a
remedy that cured me completely, and
it has never returned. I have given it
to a number who were terribly afflicted
and even bedridden with rheumatism,
some of them 70 to 80 years old. and re
sults were the same as in my own ease.
I want every sufferer from any form
of rheumatic trouble to try this marvel
ous healing power. Don’t send a cent;
simply mail your name and address and
I will send it free to try. After you
have used it and it has proven itself to
be that long-looked-for means of getting
rid of your rheumatism, you may send
the price of it, one dollar; but under
stand, I do not want your money unless
you are perfectly satisfied to send It.
Isn’t that fair? Why suffer any longer
when relief is thus offered you free.
Don’t delay. Write today.
