6 MUTT AND JEFF- JEFF’S A GOOD HAMER BUT MUTT’S THERE WITH THE SPRINT STUFF/ BY BUD FISHER COTTON NEW YORK. SepV. I.—There was some, further covering for' over the government report at the opening of the cotton market today, but bearish influences seemed to pre vail during the earlier trading, and after opening unchanged to IS points lower, active months soon sold some 20 to 38 points below • last night’s closing. There was consider able selling for southern account, while local pressure was encouraged by the easier cables, unfavorable labor conditions and the further declines reported in southern spot markets. Reports of favorable crop progress in the southwest and an easier spot basis also circulating on the decline to 26,85 for . October. The early selling carried the market abont 60 to 78 points net lower during the middle of the morning. There was rallies of a few points just belbre midday and when the government crop report was is-, sued, making the condition 457.5 and the • indicated crop 12.783,000 bales, there was a rush of covering, which sent prices 95 to 115 points above the early low level. The official crop figures were below expecta tions, but after selling up from 26.35 c to 27.50 c for October, the market met in increased pressure and broke almost as rap- Jztlv as it had advanced. Except for cov ering. buying on the crop figures seemed to be checked by bearish features in other directions. - ' » Southern selling was particularly active during the early afternoon and the market became very weak making new low ground for the day with December selling off to 24.70 and with active months generally ' showing net losses of 60 to 88 points.

Sept. I.—Expectations of a fairly favorable condition report from the government, combined with dry weatlie over most of the belt to put the cotton mar ket lowe* on the opening today. Selling increased on the receipt of private cable grams from England stating that the emil labor outlook was more serious. During the first hour of business prices fell 25 to 3t) points. October declining to 25.52. The condition report at 10 o’clock of 67.5 per cent of n<ymal. indicating a crop of 12.753.000 bales, was lower than expected and it caused an immediate bulge in prices which carried the market 6 to 33 points over the close of yesterday. October touching 26.15. Just prior to the report the mar ket was soft under general.selling .which widened the early decline to 49 to 62 points ■nd carried October off to 25.20. The strength did not last long and under a 're sumption of selling prices fell .almost to the lowest levels again but toward noon j were at net declines of but 14 to 26 points j on a demand from realizing shorts. In the late trading extremely heavy sell ing set in and, according to floor gossip, . It was entirely due to bearish outside eon ditions and the forecast of dry weather for all sections of the belt. October fell the full I limit of 206 points from the high of the day. allowed under the rules of the exchange, I landing at 24.15 c. The list made net losses | of 137 to 167 points.

Remarkable growth took place during August, officials said, but the crop is from two to three weeks late and a late fall is nec essary for favorable termination of the crop. 801 l weevil damage will be greater than usual, the said. In a statement commenting on cotton conditions the depart ment said: “The cotton plant has grown wonderfully during August over the entire belt as a result of almost constant rains, but this growth during the past two or three weeks has been largely at the expense of fruit, and plant, although large and vigorous, is sappy. The crop in the normally dry areas of Texas and Oklahoma, where the ample rainfall was beneficial, and in all the northern portion of the belt, has shown absolute or relative improvement for August. Generally speaking, the early set of bolls was satisfactory and while the‘bolls are not now present in proportion so the size of the plant, there is a fairly satisfactory set of bolls. “The cloudy, wet weather and cool nights with large growth has prevented the plant from overcoming its initial lateness and it is from two to three weeks late over most of the belt. “The moTst August conditions have been very favorable for the boll weevil, which is very active in all infested regions, from central Texas to central South Carolina. The loss of a large Dart of the squares now setting and a considerable proportion of the small bolls and many large ones as a result of weevil damage is reported throughout this area. 801 l worms are also active to a damaging extent in same territory. For a favorable termination of the season a late fall is necessary. Frosts would do great damage. The harm resulting from boll damage by weevils in greater proportion than or dinary because the damp weather tends to rotting of the entire in jured boll instead of the lock affected only. Much rotting is re ported in the central areas. The abandonment of planted fields since the date of the bu reau’s acreage estimate of June 25 has been slight and probably less than average. “Labor conditions may become serious later when the rains per mit picking, especially if dry, hot weather should force quick ma turity, but no acute shortage exists at present, although labor is generally high and insists on shorter hours than formerly. “More fertilizer has been used than last year and still more than two years ago, although the quality is still inferior from lack of sufficient potash and much of the benefit has been‘lost from leaching or from going into plant growth rather than fruit.” Cotton production this year was forecast today at 12,783,000 bales by the department of agriculture, which based its estimate on the condition of the crop of August 25, which was announced at 67.5 per cent of a normal. . Production was forecast last month at 12,519,000 bales and the condition of the crop Tuly 25 was 74.1 per cent, while the forecast made in July was 1 1.450,000 bales, based on a condition of 70.7 on June 25.. Last year’s production was 11,239,755 bales and the condi tion of the crop on August 25 a year ago was 61.4. The ten-year aver age condition on August 25 is 68.2.

When the house of representatives met this morning at 10 o’clock fol lowing the strenuous efforts to drum up a quor»’ v ' Monday afternoon only, 47 members responded to their names. It was announced that the house would be at east till 2 o’clock. Four attempts yesterday to get a, quorum were unsuccessful. Finally Speaker Seth Walker, lead er of the anti-suffragists, ordered the sergeantatarms to arrest enough members to make a quorum. Repre sentative Harry Burn, youngest member of the chamber and the man whose changed vote swung victory to the ratificationists two weeks ago, was caught and brought in. Before a vote could be taken, however, he slipped out through an office, climb ed along the cornice of the old Capi tol ’building until he reached the stairs window and escaped by the front entrance. Two policemen chased Burn tn Jiis hotel, :but the young et»6.ged in one door ana out another'to safety. PRESSCLAIM-~ OF CONSTITUTION ARE RIDDLED (Continued from Page 1) pression from the Commerce News was published in The Journal Sun day under Editor Shannon's own heading: “The Boss Issues Orders.” Among *other things the Commerce News said: “Take a surface glimpse of the Constitution's consistency. Senator Smith and Tom Watson were in the race for the senate. However much we may differ with Senator Smith, this one fact remains. He is a Demo crat. He has always voted the Democratic ticke|. His support- ers are not Republicans nor In dependents; they are Democrats On the other hand, Mr. Watson while proclaiming his Democra cy, is fighting the Democratic party, its platform, and its ad ministration. Here was an open handed fight—an administration • candidate and an anti-adminis tration candidate. With the united support of Democrats, Mr. Smith could and would eas ily have defeated Mr. Watson. But up step the Howells and would not submit to such condi tions.” Is this the kind of support that the Dorsey newspapers are giving to the governor? If so. Senator Smith’s supporters will welcome more pa pers to the governor’s aid. Others Not Listed In announcing that twenty-nine newspapers were supporting Senator Smith, the Hoke Smith headquarters did not undertake Vo list all the pa pers that are for the senator. It is undoubtedly true that a number of other papers are supporting the senator. For instance the Campbell News, published at Fairburn, is na tively supporting Senator Smith, but its name- was not included in the twenty-nine published Monday. The LaGrange Graphic was not listed as a Smith supporter, yet its owner Tuesday notified Smith headquarters that the paper is for the senator. ’ It is the belief of Hoke Smith headquarters that many more than the seventeen papers listed above as neutral, but claimed by the Consti tution as supporting Governor Dor sey, have had no editorial expression on the senatorial campaign, but some of these papers do not reach the exchange desk of The Journal. Edi tors of other newspapers whose posi tion has been misrepresented, will no doubt take steps to let the pub lic know where stand. SMITH’SVrCTORY - IS CERTAIN DESPITE DORSEY AID TO WATSON (Continued from Page 1) which prove his motives. have escaped no thoughtful citizen, and that these methods have contributed I with other reasons to the collapse of the governor’s candidacy and his definite removal as a serious equasion in the primal v one week hence. Should Rcimbursa Merchants Hundreds of letter/r and telegrams —many of them from persons who heretofore have supported the gover nor—have been received at bea<i- quarters expressing surprise not only at the governor’s trailing tactics as applied to Senator Smith, but at the failure of his friends to refund the thousands of dollars he illegally col lected in tobacco taxes. k “Many persons have come forward with the declaration that the first duty of the governor is to refund the moneys that were illegally collected by his agents.” said Smith headquar ters. “If he hasn’t the funds avail able in the state treasury, due to his Jmismanagement, and cannot sup ply them from his personal resources, he should insist that the friends who are contributing to his campaign di vert this money to reimburse the peo ple who were illegally taxed.” It is old stuff, say the Smith men, to try to sway or control elections by betting blandishments, “but,” they add, “if the governor’s friends really want to help his candidacy they would better serve this purpose by subscribing to a fund to reimburse the men from whom he illegally col lected thousands of dollars in to bacco taxes." As remarked at the outset, how ever, the efforts of the Dorsey men to defeat Senator Smith by lending aid to Watson’s candidacy are doomed to failure. Smith headquarters are confident, from reports they are re ceiving, that .he senator’s campaign has checked the rising tide of Wat son sentiment in the state, and that, although he still has a nip-and-tuck battle with Watson, there is every reason to believe that he will defeat Watson next week. is ’” sa ys Smith head quarters, if the sentiment continues to change for the next week as it f ?L t ?e Past Y eek ’ Senator Smith vT4I4i? e eve2 ve a clear majority over from WdS” and B ° rSey one week Optimistic Seports The mail received at the Smith headquarters Wednesday morning was by tar the largest of the cam paign, and it was the most encour-. aging. J. A McGregor, of Willacoochee, a well-known banker, declares; “Hoke Smith is gaining ground in this country, and the sentiment is risina rapidly.” • b Dr. T. D. Walker, Sr., of Cochran, writes: “Os course we would like to see Senator Smith at Cochran, but the county is safe for him any how.” W. O. McDonald, writes from Co lumbus: ‘‘Conditions are ' looking Very favorable in this section. During the past few days I have visited nine counties, of which seven will certain ly give Smith a majority. I refer to Troup, Harris, Muscogee, Chatta hoochee, Randolph, Talbot and Stew art. ’ John W. Andrews, writing from Carnegie, Ga., declares that either the Atlanta Constitution or Mr. Lee Miller, w’ho wrote to the Constitu tion, that Edison is for Governor Dorsey, has misstated the facts. “I think the governor will run third in this precinct,” says the letter. L. F. Dudley, of Damascus, writes the most encouraging news from his section. H. B. Smith, of Dahlonega, writes: “I feel that Senator Smith has a fine chance in Lumpkin county. D. J.
