G, Harding—Larger Loans Possible This Year That banks in the cotton belt, in cases where they are not overloaned in other directions, can make much larger loans on cotton this fall than ever before, and that federal reserve banks will do all they can to as sist in marketing the cotton crop, is the encouraging statement of Gov ernor W. P. G. Harding, of the fed eral reserve ■ board, in the August 'number of the Business Review of • the Federal Reserve Bank of At lanta. / Harding denies emphati cally’'that the federal reser/e board ever 1 has issued instructions to mem ber/banks not to make loans on cot tea unless it had been soli already Jcr prompt shipment, and that the federal reserve banks stand ready to do “all that can reasonably be expected of them” when it comes to discounting loans on cotton. Gov ernor Harding's statement is expect ed to have the effect of bringing about a satisfactory marketing of the cotton crop this fall. Still further reductions in prices are predicted - by the Business Re view, which declares the buying pub lic still refuses, in the expectation that lower prices are coming, and to buy heavily at price-cutting sales, and that merchants desiring to rid themselves of stocks have accom plished this only to a limited ex tent. The Business Review, speaking of general conditions in the southeast, 'says: “Improvement in the condition of agricultural crops of the district dur ing. July had lent encouragement and confidence to business generally. However, late reports of damage to crops by excessive rains the first two weeks in August have Wen somewhat discouraging. The general trend of prices in principal lines in this district is noticeably downward, although there have been no specta cular developments along this line. Sower Prices Expected “The month of July has seen a continuation of price-cutting and large sales advertised by stores de siring to rid themselves of their stocks, and this has been accom plished only to a limited extent. It is evident that the buying public expects lower prices and is willing to buy only for actual needs until prices reach a lower level. With a return to a lower and pjore stable price basis, the public will come into the market more actively, and, a general stimulation of business will result. “A majority of reports received from wholesale grocery firms in the district show substantial reductions in the money volume of sales dur ing July as compared to sales t for June. Most reports show increases over sales for July, 1919, ranging from 5 per cent to as high as 65 per cent and 70 .per cent While there may be some occasional Reaction, the opinion of the trade generally indi cates a gradual decline in prices. “The increase in money volume of sales by reporting wholesale dry goods firms ranges from 16.4 per cent to 114.2 per cent over sales of June. All reports show decreases as compared to July, 1919, ranging from 17.2 per cent to 37.5 per cent. Buying is limited to actual needs, ►nd lower prices are looked for. “Comparison of sales during July and June by wholesale hardware firms vary from a decrease of B.l> per cent to an increase of 55.4 per cent. Compared to sales for July last, year, one report shows a de crease of 25.3 per cent, while a ma jority of reports show increases, hanging up to 572 per cent. While there is some expectation of lower prices later on, there seems to be no immediate prospect of a material change. “Wholesale shoe firms report in creases for July over June as high as 50 per cent, while in only one or two cases are decreases shown. Only one report shows an increase over July last year, decreases in other instances ranging from 6 per cen to 28 per cent. The downward ten dency is expected to continue, but by a long swing rather than pre cipitately. Wholesale cancellations of orders during June and July are now to some extent being reinstated. “As a part of this review is print ed a statement showing cofnposite results of reports by wholesale ■firms, and a similar statement show ing the condition of retail trade dur ing the month. An increase of 16.3 per cent is shown in net sales, for the district, over July last year. An increase of 45:7 per cent is shown in stocks on hand over the same month last year, and an increase of only 5-6 per cent over stocks at the end of June. 1920.” Cotton Crop Condition The condition of the cotton crop in the states of the Sixth federal reserve district on July 25 is re ported by the federal reserve bank to be better in every state than it was at the same time last year. While the condition of the crop in Georgia showed a gain of 5 per cent, representing approximately 400,000 Pounds of lint of cotton, there was an appreciable decline in some other parts of the state, says the bank. Conditions are reported better in Georgia than in north Georgia. Heavy rains and the boll weevil have made inroads on the crop. The Florida crop is reported to be improved somewhat, the Louisiana crop to have deteriorated six points, the Mississippi crop to be substan tially improved, and the Tennessee corp to be decidedly improved. Rains atud the boll weevil threaten all the states, however, declares the report. The condition and estimated pro duction of other crops in Georgia the bank gives as follows: Condition Estimated Per Cent Production Corn ... SI 65,793,000 bu. Wheat 85 2,111,000 bu. Oats 86 10,534,000 bu. Potatoes 80 1,562,000 bu. Sweet Potatoes 89 13.172.000 bu. Tobacco 88 20.979, OOOlbs. Peanuts 87 7,392,0tt0 tin. Apples 74 1,696,000 bu. Peaches 58 3,676,000 bu. The corn crop in Georgia is stated to be far below the average, ■while sweet potatoes and tobacco promise I much heavier yield. Peanuts are In first-class condition and promise I good yield. Crops in other states tre reported to be in good condition, (Continued on Page 6, Column 5) HERE HE IS, GIRLS. This is Handsome Harry Burns, the most talked-of young man in . Tennessee today.

FRANCE AND ITALY WOIIIOHWEB LONDON, Aug. 25.—Whether most of Europe again will be involved in war was to be decided -within forty eight hours. Russia has until Friday evening to reply to the Anglo-Italian note de manding modification of her peace terms to Poland. Premier Lloyd George has informed the Bolsheviki, through Arthur Balfour, lord presi dent of the council, that unless a satisfactory reply is forthcoming within the time limit Great Britain will change its policy toward Russia. Committed to the same action as Great Britain are - Italy, France and possibly Belgium. In the event of a resumption of hositilities on a major scale, the Germans may be come partially involved, since the sentiment of the German populations bordering on Poland is frankly pro- Russian. Officials of East Prussia are reported to have asked for vol unteers to aid the Reds and, accord ing to some advices, no steps'have been taken to intern the thousands of Russians -who fled into east Prus sia to escape capture. It was predicted in well informed circles this afternoon that the Poles and Russians would abandon the ex treme terms they were trying to enforce upon each other and adopt a more moderate tone. The reds, it was reported, had already given up their demand for efleatiqn of a pro letariat militia in Pola»nd, but this was unconfirmed. It was also re ported that-the armistice conference at’ Minsk might be transferred to Warsaw. Russians Ask for Passports The Bolshevik representatives Kameneff and Krassin, have already applied for their passports and ex pect to leave London on Friday in the event their government fails to accede to the tentente’s demands. As word was awaited from Mos cow, the Minsk correspondent of the Herald telegraphed that the Polish armistice delegates had definitely re jected the Russian terms. Unconfirmed reports were received from anti-Bolshevik sources that sev eral serious outbreaks have occurred against the Soviets in various parts of Russia, particularly the southern regions. A Brussels dispatch stated that Foreign Minister Himans had re signed because of the Belgian cabi net’s refusal to permit transporta tion of munitions for Poland across Belgian territory. Premier Dela croix took over the vacant portfolio. RED COUNTER OFFENSIVE SAID TO BE SUCCEEDING BERLIN, Aug. 25.—The Russian northern army 'has begun a counter offensive, with some success, it was reported in unofficial dispatches re ceived today.

Senate In Reply to Mr. Holder I.C.C.RATERAISE APPLIED TO GEORGIA Bl COMMISSION New Rail Tariffs Are Effec- tive September Four Days Later Than for Rest of Country No surprise was occasioned among Georgia shippers by the announce ment of the increase in freight and passenger rates allowed by the rail road commission of Georgia in Its decision handed down Tuesdaj’ after noon. The commission allows the rail roads of this state to make the same increases in Georgia intrastate rates as were recently allowed by the In terstate commerce commission in in terstate rates. That is to say, an Increase of io per cent in freight rates, an increase of 20 per cent in passenger rates a surcharge of 50 per cent in Pullman rates, all of which goes to the rail roads; an increase of 20 per cent in excess baggage rates; an increase of 20 per cent in milk and cream rates. These increases are allowed to be come effective on September 1, which is four days later than the effective date of the interstate increases al lowedx by the interstate commerce commission, the interstate increases taking effect on August 26. The act of congress returning the railroads to private operation, other wise known as the transportation act, requires the interstate com merce commission to prescribe such rates and fares as will yield the rail roads of the United States, for the next two years, a net income of not less than 5 1-2 and not more than 6 per cent. The act empowers the com mission to lift intrastate rates tn the level of interstate rates, a power which had never before been vested in the federal body, and a power that practically took away the au thority of state commissions over intrastate rates. Interstate Increases A few months ago the railroads of the United States filed a joint and general petition with the interstate commerce commission for increased rates in all departments. r, hey show ed that increased wages, increased cost of fuel and heavy increases in all other departments' of operation, maintenance and renewal, made it • necessary for them to an in crease in rates to yieM them the incoma guaranteed by the transpor tation act. After hearing from shippers all over the United States, and after carefully examining the records of the earnings of the railroads, the commission granted an increase of 25 per cent in freight rates, of 20 per cent in passenger rates, of 20 per cent in excess baggage rates, of 20 per cent in milk and cream rates, and a surcharge of 5 9 pe r cent in Pullman rates, the same to apply on interstate traffic and to become effective on August 26. Immediately following this decis ion, the railroads in each of the several states presented to the sev eral state commissions a joint and general petition for the same in creases in intrastate rates as the interstate commerce commission had allowed in interstate rates. They showed that these increases were necessary to bring intrastate rates up to the level of interstate rates. DEAN ADMITS ’ TIP TO WATSON AT CONVENTION H. H. Dean, of Gainesville, one of the Palmer floor leaders at the re cent state convention in Atlanta, ad mits the charge of Senator Hoke Smith that he informed Thomas E. Watson of the senator’s purpose to indOTse the Democratic administra tion, and that Mr. Watson moved to adjourn the convention, thus prevent ing a consideration of the resolution of indorsement. Mr. Dean’s open letter to the sen ator not only confirms th© charge that he was the Palmer delegate who tipped off Mr. Watson of the pur pose of the Smith delegates to in dorse the administration, but it cor roborates Mr. Watson’s own state ment of the case. The letter, as giv en out today, follows: . August 24, 1920. An Open Letter to Senator Hoke Smith. Dear Senator Smith: I note in yesterday afternoon’s Atlanta Jour nal -a report of your speech at Ham ilton, Ga., in which you state that "the failure of the presidential con vention in Atlanta in May to indorse the Democratic administration was due to the conivance of Mr. ‘Watson and myself.” This statement is so absolutely in accurate that I respectfully request that you read this, my reply, in con nection with similar statements in future speeches, that your audience may have the truth about the matter. I was one of the Palmer delegates on the platform committee and urgbd, with the other Palmer men, the adop tion of the Randolph resolution dorsing the Democratic administra tion, including the Democratic con gress, for its splendid achievements during the past seven years. This resoltuion was copied ver batim from The Atlanta Journal’s report of one of your speeches made ui your campaign for president early in April. Despite all our pleadings, the ma jority of your platform delegates voted with the Watson delegates against this resolution, and instead, voted for the other resolution offered by 'Watson. I heard General Walter Harris ap peal to the Smith delegates on the convention floor to vote for the Ran dolph resolution, telling them they were the words spoken by you “as of yesterday.” He offered to divide time and pleaded that at least some one of your delegates would speak a word of indorsement of the ad ministration. But they remained “as sheep before their shearers.” We Palmer men knew the reason why. We had learned definitely that (Con+inued on Page 6, Colr.tr3 3' ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1920 Holder’s Friends, Aroused by Attempt to Force Him Out, Are .Waging Vigorous Campaign in His Behalf Governor Dorsey’s statement that he will continue in the race for the senate is taken to be the answer of Editor Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution, to Speaker John N. Holder’s open letter of Monday, pro posing to Editor Howell that he would withdraw from the governor’s race at once if Editor Howell would take down the governor from the senatorial race. Governor Dorsey’s letter undoubt edly means that Speaker Holder will continue in the race and prosecute his campaign with redoubled vigor, as he stated in his letter to fcditor Howell that he would not for a mo ment consider withdrawing unless his proposal for the governor to be withdrawn was accepted at once. A few days ago the Atlanta Con stitution and the Macon Telegraph simultaneously called on Speaker Holder to withdraw from the race. These editorials were answered Mon day by the speaker in his open let ter to Editor Howell. In the letter he showed that he was the first candidate to enter the race for governor; that prominent citizens from every congressional district, immediately following Mr. Hardwick’s entrance, advised him to continue in the race, as they consid ered him a stronger candidate than Clifford Walker; that he has beeif the friend of Editor Howell in the past, and expected fair treatment in his paper, but instead he was given “the Brutus stab;” that the chaotic con dition of the senatorial race, preci pitated by Editor Howell when he pushed Governor Dorsey into it, would in ho way be relieved by his (the speaker’s) withdrawal from the race for governor; hence he propos ed that Editor Howell clarify the senatorial situation, in the same way that he called on the speaker to clarify the gubernatorial situation — to wit, by removing Governor Dorsey from the lists. Speaker Holder’s friends -are sup porting him with .redoubled enthus iasm since the editorials demanding his retirement. They believe his proposal to Editor Howell has ef fectively silenced the Constitution and the Telegraph. They confidently predict his success at the polls on September 8. . The Governor’s Statement Governor Dorsey’s statement re plying to Speaker Holder is as fol lows : "My attention has just been called to an article in Senator Smith’s Eve ning Journal, which is printed under the following glaring headlines: ‘Hol der offers to withdraw from race, if Dorsey will quit senate contest.’ the article including a card signed by Hon. John N. Holder. “My campaign was born of no per sonal ambition for further political honors, but-is the result of a de mand from loyal Democrats from every section of Georgia, who in sisted that Beorgia Democrats should not be confined to a choice between Senator Smith and Thomas E. Wat son, whose joint antagonistic atti tude to the national Democratic ad ministration recently culminated in a political combination which com mitted the presidential state conven tion to irrevocable opposition to the treaty of peace and which voted down resolutions indorsing Woodrow Wil- I son and the national Democratic ad ministration. “My entry into the race was in tended to afford the voters Os Georgia an opportunity to vote for a Demo crat who believes in decent Democ racy and who has sustained the prin ciples and policies of the party with all the faith that’s in him. “The response from every section of the state vindicates my purpose and confirms my conviction that the loyal Democracy of Georgia will tri umph in this campaign and that I will be nominated by a significant Majority on September 8. Believes He Can Win “Therefore, even if my/private in terests should incline me to consider the greater comfort of private life, I could not abandon the trust I have asumed, and I will find solace in the victory which is now assured. “If I live until September 8 Geor gia Democrats will halve the oppor tunity of repudiating the unholy combination in the May convention, which jeopardized the standing of Georgia Democracy in the national councils of the party. “This conclusion is without refer ence to any action Mr. Holder may decide to take in his own race. The proposal for his retirement was made without my participation or knowledge. 1 have taken no part in the gubernatorial race, and am ‘toting my own skillet.’ “If the exigencies of Mr. Holder’s campaign require consideration of withdrawal. I have no. doubt he will give the situation independent reflec tion, endeavoring to reach such judg ment as will best serve his party, his state and his own destiny without reference to other campaigns in which he is not a candidate.” MISSING CENSUS DISTRICT FOUND; GEORGIA GAINS .WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Geor gia. s missing census enumeration dis trict has turned up adding 299 more to the state’s population recently announced and making the revised total 2,893,900. The missing district was in Mclntosh county, but its ad dition to the previously announced population of the state does not amount to sufficient to change the state’s percentage of increase which still remains at 10.9 per cent.

Encouraging Reports Pour Into Smith Headquarters From All Over Georgia Letters and Telegrams Show Senator Is Gaining Ground Daily as Strongest Candi date Against Mr.. Watson Hoke Smith 57; Watson 17, Dorsey 14, Zebulon Pol! As indicating the situation in Pike county as regards the race for the United States senate, a poll taken in Zebulon, Ga., the county seat of Pike county, on Saturday of last week by J. M. Head, editor of the Pike County Journal, is particularly illuminat ing. It shows Senator Hoke Smith leading both Watson and Dorsey by more than a 2 to 1 margin. The poll follows: Smith, 57. Watson, 17. Dorsey, 14. As cumulative reports from every section of the state indicate that the senatorial race is between Senator Hoke Smith and Thomas E. Watson, Senator Smith’s headquarters is being deluged with letters, telegrams and telephone calls indicating that the senator is the candidate around whom loyal Democrats are rallying in their determination to defeat Thomas E. Watson. All over the state, according to the advices received at the Smith head quarters, the host of Democrats who are opposed to Mr. Watson are con centrating upon Senator Smith as the most likely and available candidate to accomplish Mr. Watson’s defeat. In many counties, in widely sep arated sections of Georgia, the vot ers who are opposed to Mr. Watson, without regard to their past factional I'-.tionf, have agreed to support the senatorial candidate who devel ops the greater strength in their re spective counties. Petitions design ed to ascertain the strenght of the re still are being circulated, and ac cording to the reports received by the Smith people in practically ev ery county in the state the returns demonstrate that Senator Smith has a far greater following than Governor Dorsey. In consequence of this fact, thousands of Georgians who other wise might support the governor, are controlled by the exigencies of the situation and have joined with the men to insure the Democracy of their country. Reports received by the Smith headquarters scarcely could be more encouraging. The correspondence has necessitated the employment of an additional clerical force, and Senator Smith’s advisors are experiencing difficulty ih keeping up wit) the letters and telegrams that are ing the headquarters. V Speeches Are Effective ■ The senator’s local, advisors”have been impressed with r e number and character of commu ications that come to headquarters f *om the locali ties in which the senaf . rnself has made speeches. There is Jo doubting from these communications that the senator's addresses are proving high ly effective. After his departure from each town scores of letters are received from voters, who, hereto fore, have not supported the senator, but who now speak in the highest terms of his addresses, and voice their determination to support him in the September primary. Stanford Bland, at Metter, writes that the sentimetit in Candkr count} i«s crvstallizing around Senator Smith’s candidacy and that the op position is gradually fading aw:l X;-, From Stillmore. R. W. Harper sends in gratifying reports about conditions in his section. The situation ~Tn Newton county is reflected by a letter from C. c. Brooks, in which he says that the race is squarely between the sena tor and Thomas E. Watson, with the tide turning toward the senator. Senator Smith’s strength in Worth county, where he has a fight. wit.i Mr. Watson, is evidenced in a letter from W C. Forehand, a prominent attorney at Sylvester, who states that he is gradually overcoming the. Watson sentiment in that section. H. B. Smith, manager of the Dah lonega Echo, writes that Senator Smith is certain to carry Lumpkin county. Monroe countv will unquestionably give its unit vote to Senator Smith, according to Frank N. Wilder of Forsyth. The Smith headquarters has re ceived scores of letters from Jackson county declaring that the effort of the Atlanta Constitution against John N. Holder has operated to crys tallize sentiment against Governor Dorsey in that county and that all persons opposed to Thomas E. Wat son’s candidacy expect to vote for Senator Smith with every prospect of carrying the county. J.' N. Padrick and J. H. Cory, of the Tift County Hoke Smith club, declare in a communication that the senator is gaining by leaps and bounds in that section. Frank U. Garrard, of Columbus writes that as a result of Senator Smith's speech at Columbus on Mon day night, the Hoke Smith club of Muscogee county has gained thou sands of new members and that the county has been removed from the doubtful column. C. M. Milam, prominent banker of Cartersville, gives it as his judg ment that Bartow county will give the senator an overwhelming ma jority. Appling for Smith In Appling county the Hoke Smith people are absolutely confident of winning the election, according to F. N. Rushing, of Baxley. The race in Miller county is squarely between Senator Smith and Mr. Watson, according to the ad vice of J. W. Bush, and the senator will carry the county. S. H. Bassett, who has formerly been against Senator Smith, writes from Fort Valley that he and his three sons, one of whom is Captain Ralph P. Bassett, formerly of the Second division, will give the sena tor their hearty support. From O. C. Swords, of Arholds ville, Ga., comes the assurance that Senator Smith is gaining strength rapidly in Oglethorpe county, and that on September 8 that county will be found in the Smith column. That Senator Smith is growing rapidly in strength in Montgomery county, and that his candidacy is be ing looked upon as the best means of accomplishing the defeat of Thom as E. Watson, is the message sent by E. R. Lochridge, a well-known busi ness man of Douglas, Ga., who has just completed an extensive tour or JTcr.'-r.ie :$ ozzr.'. DORSEY CHALLENGED TO JOINT DEBATES BI SMITH Governor Invited to Meet the Senator in Macon Friday Night for the First Debate Senator Hoke Smith has sent a challenge to Governor Dorsey to meet him in joint debate in the Ma con auditorium next Friday night, which is the date of the senator’s speaking in that city. The challenge was sent Thursday night to Gov ernor Dorsey at Americus. It was sent by Felix Jackson and William Schley Howard, the committee re cently appointed by Senator Smith to handle for him the arrangements for any joint debates which might be held between himself and Gov ernor Dorsey or Thomas E. Watson. The telegram was as follows; Senator Smith requests us to ask you to appoint two of your friends to confer with us and ar range debates. He suggests Fri day night at Macon as the first debate. As you liave claimed Bibb county, you will certainly agree to that place as a fair point for the first debate. (Signed) ' FELIX JACKSON, WILLIAM SCHLEY HOWARD. No answer had been received from Governor Dorsey, so far as could be learned up to 1 o’clock Wednesday afternoon. No telegram or letter from the governor had been received by William Schley Howard or by the Hoke Smith campaign headquarters in the-Piedmont hotel. If any answer had been received by Mr. Jackson, at Gainesville, he had not notified the Hoke Smith headquarters. Governor Dorsey recently express ed in an interview a will ingness to meet Senator Smith in joint debate, qualified, however, with the proviso that Thomas E. Watson should also be invited to participate. This was the same proviso made by Mr. Watson some weeks ago when Senator Smith appointed the above committee to arrange details. There has been much interest in Macon for several days, since the Hoke Smith speaking date was an nounced, to know whether Governor Dorsey would accept an invitation to divide time there with the senator. His answer to the senator's direct challenge is awaited throughout the state with the keenest interest. SWIMMER IS TAKEN FROM BOTTOM OF POOL AND REVIVED VALDOSTA, Ga., ug. 25.—1 t took about thirty minutes of hard work to bring life back into the body of Walter Godwin, a young lad who was overcome in the swimming pool at the Country club Monday. Young Godwin and Raymond Holmes were swinging on a rope in the pool and Holmes came out. Godwin played awhile and started out, but seemed to get confused and got into the deep water, way over his head. He sank to the bottom while his com panion ran off and got some golf players to come to the scene. When they reached the pool they could see the lad lying on the bottom, under seven feet of water, apparently dead. Robert Dusenbury dived in and pulled him out. Then the work of resuscita tion began. The boy finally showed signs of life and later on was all right. BIG NEWS’ Red-hot, three-cornered races are now raging in Georgia for the United States senate and the Governor’s chair.

Asserts- In surgent Leader in Deca tur, Alabama Federal Proclamation Announcing Ratification Expected in a Few Hours WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Is suance of a proclamation by the state department, formally an nouncing ratification by three fourths of the states of the fed eral suffrage amendment, is ex pected by suffrage leaders within twenty-four hours. Their predic tion was based on Secretary Col by’s recent announcement that he was, prepared to issue the proc lamation as soon as he. received the official notification from Governor Roberts, of Tennessee, which, dispatches from Nashville said, was placed in the mails at noon Tuesday. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Applica tion for an Injunction to restrain Secretary Colby, of the state depart ment, from promulgating ratification of the federal suffrage amendment was filed in the district supreme court today by counsel for the Amer ican Constitutional league. Associate Justice Siddons ( required that au thority for such' procedure be cited and agreed to hear counsel on the point during the day. ’Application was made by Attorney A. D. Smith in behalf of Charles 8.. Fairchild, of New York, president of the league. Justice Siddons said he could not consider the matter until counsel had presented authority un der which he contended the court might act to restrain the secretary of state from issuing a proclamation announcing ratification »on receipt of certification of the action of Ten nessee as thrty-sixth state. He sug gested that counsel present such ci* tatfons tomorrow, but Mr. Smith said this might be too late and Jus tice Siddons agreed to remain ir his chambers during the day to con sider the authorities which counse’ might present later. This was the second attempt b? the league to otain from the district court an injunction restraining Mr Coly from proclaiming the ratificfi tion. The first effort was made last month before Tennessee had acted. Justice Bailey in dismissing the pro ceedings held that the court was without authority to inquire into the action of the state legislatures in ratifying the suffrage amendment, and that it had no authority to pasa on the validity of such an amend ment.
