COTTON
NEW YORK, Sept. 29. —The cotton mar
ket lost a good part of yesterday’s rallies
during today's early trading. Liverpool
made a very weak showing, reports from the
domestic goods trade showed no improve
ment, there was a renewal of southern
•elling and, except for the gulf stodm |
. threat, weather conditions were considered
favorable. First prices were barely steady
at a decline of S to 50 points, and active
months sold about 40 to 79 points net lower,
Within the first half hour of trading, under
local selling The break carried October off
to 24.21, December io 21.95 and January
to 21.26, or about 100 to 125 points below
the high prices reached yesterday.
The early decline Was followed by ral
lies late in the forenoon on predictions of
frost for northern parts of Arkansas, Okla
homa and west Texas tonight. The unfavor
able eastern belt forecast was also an in
fluence on the rally which carried October
•bout 20 points from the lowest while later
months sold 15 to 30 points net higher with
January selling at 21.85. This bulge was
checked by the bearish weekly report of the
.Weather bureau but offerings were much
lighter than recently and prices held fairly
■teady around midday.
The favorable weekly report of the weath
er bureau failed to inspire any selling of
consequence and the market was much less
active during the early afternoon with
prices improving on frost predictions and
Covering. October was relatively easy, hold
ing around 24.75, or 25 points net lower.
While December was up to 22.90 and January
to 22.15, or 45 to 50 points net higher.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 29.—A much
lower Liverpool market than due caused
heavy selling on the opening in cotton here
today and prices were soon 40 to 64 points
under the close of yesterday, with October
•t 21.84. As the market fell new buying
was met, based on the hurricane warnings
issued for the gulf coast overnight. Prices
reacted but not very strongly, the list of
trading months standing 18 down tt> 10 up
compared with yesterday’s final prices, at
the end of the first hour of business. Octo
ber rose to 22.30.
• The forecast of frost for large areas of
the northwestern portion of the belt brought
in general buying and the market moved up
ward strongly on the more distant months."
October became rather inactive and did not
follow the rest of the list. Late in the
morning December was at 21.70 and the ac
tive months were 28 to 61 points over the
last quotattions of yesterday.
Private reports of falling temperatures in
the extreme northwestern portion of the I
belt and fear of frost on tomorrow’s weath
er map made for a very steady market in
the late tradeing. October was sent to a
level 17 points over yesterday’s close and
the later months 66 to 76 over, December
touching 21.86.

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 29.—While there
were fairly wide declines in the early trad

very poor Liveerpool, the market soon braced
up on the admission by the weather bureau
that the disturbance ' in the gulf was a
hurricane and the warning that it was mov
ing steadily into- 'the east gul*. A little
later it received further strength from the
forecast of frost over large areas of the
northwestern Section of the belt.
The weekly crop reports were considered
favorable but ,had no effect against values.

STRONG PROTEST ON

WILL BE SUGGESTED
(Continued from Page 1)
steps should be taken to obtain a
modification of the policy enunciat
ed by Secretary Houston. The sec
ond was the question as to what
steps should be taken to finance ex
ports of cotton. Answering the lat
ter question, Governor Dorsey sent
the following telegram to Mr. Wan
namaker:
“In re: Telegram September
twenty-seventh: I have heretofore
indicated that in my opinion each
of the southern cotton growing
states should establish banking in
stitutions and that each of these
should then, under federal laws, take
stock in export corporation as sug
gested by Governor Harding.
“We are organizing here Georgia
Cotton Bank & Trust Corporation.
Stock subscribed will be called in
•November 1, and at stated periods
thereafter. Feel that we Will have
this organization perfected early in
the first months of next year. Sug
gests that American Cotton associa
tion get back of this enterprise in
Georgia and then proceed with sim
ilar organizations in other states.
This in my opinion and in the opin
ion of nearly every well-informed
cotton man with whom I have talk
ed offers the only opportunity for
relief.
"I can’t bqlieve that you can hope
to solve all these questions by reso
lutions and conferences.”
Jordan Issues Statement
Harvie Jordan, national secretary
of the American Cotton association,
whose office is in Atlanta, on Tues
day issued the following statement
in regard to the cotton market situ
ation:
‘‘The present drive against the
price of spot cotton is totally un
warranted from any legitimate stand
point. There can arise no legitimate
urgency for forcing the price of spot
cotton below the cost of production,
which present prices so forcibly in
dicate.'
“The south cannot afford to see the
cotton crop sacrificed with its inev
itable result of financial depression
on the commercial and agricultural
life Os the cotton belt. The organ
ized efforts of speculators and spin
ners to secure a reduction in the
price of cotton fabrics by this mer
ciless hammering of the spot market
should be resisted to the utmost. The
American Cotton association and ev
ery state division of the organiza
tion is arousing the people to every
possible resistance. The federal re
serve banks in the cotton belt are
fully prepared to make loans through
member banks on agricultural paper
secured by cotton warehouse re
ceipts.
“The intensive campaign of the
association for warehouse construc
tion in the past twelve months has
honeycombed the cotton counties
with warehouse facilities for storing
the crop and marketing the staple
slowly to meet only the needs of le
gitimate consumption.
“The production of Ajnerican cbt
ton cannot be continued at prices
which do not cover cost, plus a rea
sonable profit. The association is
standing firmly for a price to the
growers of 40 cents per pound, basis
middling, and will not recede from
this position. A price less than that
means financial ruin to the cotton
growing interests. Plans to plant
but one-third of the farming area In
cotton in 1921 and the other two
thirds in food and feed crops will be
put into actual operation. The man
ufacturers can materially cut the
present price of cotton goods with
out heavy loss to the enormous divi
dends they have made for the past
few years.
“The price of spot cotton is now
far below the actual cost of produc
tion and will not be sold by the
growers at such prices.”
ttomson & McKinnon gßain letter
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.—Wheat: This mar
ket has ruled quieter. Export demand not
much in evidence. From Minneapolis come
reports of better flour trade and a holding
position by the company. There further
sales of Canadian wheat to go to Milwaukee
today. , ... ..
Cora A steady to firm market with the
September the center of Interest. Leading
elevator concerns were buyers of the cash
corn again. Fairly good demand was expe
rienced in December on account of the hold
ing strength of September and offerings
seemed to come only from people who were
buyers lower down. The adjustment that
must hike place after the first of Octo
ber between $1.25 cash corn, $1.07 Octo
ber and 96 cents December corn is a problem
to give one thought. Certainly, should cash
prices be maintained at an apparent high
level the December short momentarily, at
least, might be made uneasy. A question
as to receeipts after September sales are
filfted is also of interest. The situation
rather suggests that while ultimately prices
mav and probably will, be adjusted to lower
levels, for the time being sales are to be
avoided except after advances and then our
choice would be the May.
Oats: This market Is in a rut held steady
by the September corn prices. The May
looks to be a purchase around a 60-cent level.
Provisions: Hogs were lower again today
and the feeling is unsettled, bt we must
wait until the statement of stocks is out
before we can get much inspiration as to
course of values.

WHO DISAPPEARED
AT OCONEE BRIDGE
ATHENS, Ga.. Sept. 28.—N0 new
developments have come about in the
case of W. T. Treadwell whose mys
terious disappearance has baffled the
police and the searchers who have
been dragging the Oconee river be
low the cemetery bridge since Fri
day morning. Continuous search has
failed to disclose the body or any
further evidence that would point to
his death by violence.
Friday morning, George Colley,
who was fishing in the Oconee, was
startled by the sound of a splash.
He looked up and saw an automo
bile standing on the bridge and a
man running across tne bridge to
wards town. He at once reported
this to the police. Investigation
showed that the car belonged to Mr.
Treadwell. In it were his hat and
watch chain. No sign of crime could !
be shown, however.
Immediately a party assembled to ;
drag the river for the body. As yet 1
this has not been found and search* 1
is being continued. One hundred i
dollars has been offered by the broth
er-in-law of Mr. Treadwell to the
one discovering the body. 7
Mr. Treadwell, who lives in Oco
nee county, was in Athens Thurs
day and cashed several checks ;
amounting to $1,500. Robbery has i
been advanced as a motive for any
crime that may have been commit
ted. A similar case some years ago
adds to the plausibility of this the
ory. A second theory has been ad
vanced that Mr. Treadwell has left
town unknown to bis family and
friends. However, the authorities
are still at work upon the original
theory, and further investigation is
expected to materially clear up the :
matter that has mystified and arous- ;
ed all the surroundnig country.
Friendless Old Pauper
Leaves SBB,OOO Pile
NEW YORK, N. Y.—An elderly
man was taken off a train here in i
a wheelchair by three porters sev- |
eral weeks ago. He was feeble and
unkempt, and claimed that he had j
been robbed of all his money on
the train. He was taken as a pau
per to Bellevue hospital. Now he
is dead—and he left a fortune of
SBB,OOO.
Peter Vidovitch, the supposed pau
per, was an Alaskan miner. He was
born in Austria sixty-five years ago.
The fortune he left consisted of
$54,000 in Liberty bonds and $26,-
000 deposited in three banks in San
Francisco. On his person were $5,-
000 cash, jewelry valued at $3,000
and a gold slab three inches thick.
The deposits and Liberty bonds
were discovered when a packet con
taining a will was opened.- In ac
cordance with the will the fortune
is left in lots of $2,000 and $3,000 •
each to brothers, sisters and near
kin. There also is a gift of $2,000
tor a church in Austria.
Reno, Ga., Population >
Is Fifty-Six People
The census reports, In a further
chapter issued Monday, gives the
town of Reno, Ga„ a population of
forty-six people. There is an old
proverb that a well organized mu
nicipality requires “forty-three of
ficials” to transact business. If this
held true in the incorporated town
of Reno, there would not be a suf
ficient number of male adults to
fill the municipal ticket.
ATTACK MADE ON
WALKER SCORED
BY DR. JAMESON
A statement to the people of Geor
gia by Dr. S. "5". Jameson, formerly
president of Mercer university, se
verely criticizing the .Atlanta Geor
gian for printing on its editorial
page an anonymous letter charging
Clifford Walker with having done
nothing to aid in the conduct of the
war. was given out Tuesday after
noon by the Walker campaign head
quarters.
In the letter referred to, the as
sertion was made that Mr. Walker
is a man without a family, and, the
inference was that he ought to have
enlisted in the service. In point of
fact, Dr. Jameson points out, Mr.
Walker has wife and two small
children. Further, Mr. Walker spent
the greater part of his time, during
the war, in speeches for the Liberty
Loans, the Red Cross, and other en
terprises wherein his help was need
ed by the government.
Dr. Jameson charges in his state
ment that William Randolph Hearst
is endeavoring to obtain control of
the politics of Georgia through
Thomas W. Hardwick

HARDWICK SAYS
HE’LL SUE MACON
PAPER FOR LIBEL
MACON, Ga., Sept. 29.—After pay
ing his respects to Editor W. T. An
derson, of the Macon Telegraph, in
the most Caustic terms he has yet
employed in the run-over campaign,
former Senator Thomas W. Hard
wick told approximately 2,500 Bibb
county citizens in the Macon audi
torium Tuesday night that he has
engaged counsel and is preparing to
file a libel suit against the Tele
graph and Editor Anderson for SIOO,-
000 as damages for an editorial
which appeared in the Telegraph
duirng- the last stages of the first
gubernatorial primary.
Mr. Hardwick said the editorial
which provoked him to legal action
was an insinuation by the Tele
graph that Mr. Hardwick connived
with “Reds” and purposely planned
the sending of an infernal machine
into the Atlanta home of Mr. Hard
wick more than a year ago, when
his wife was seriously injured and a
negrp servant girl was permanently
maimed.
“When Mr. Anderson wrote that
he wrote an infamous, miserable and
cowardly lie, and he knew it,” said
Mr. Hardwick. “With tnat editorial
Georgia journalism sunk to its low
est level. Such a charge passed all
human indurance and all decency,
and whether I am elected governor
or am defeated, I am going to press
my suit and make him pay.”
