December contracts sold up to 21.05 c and January to 20.85 c during the first few minutes, making new high ground for the movement, with the active months showing net advances of about 35 to 60 points. New Orleans was an active seller here, howevets while there was considerable scattered realizing promoted by reports of continued depression in the goods trade, and later fluc tuations were irregular, with prices show ing reactions of 20 or 25 points from the best. Rumors tha tthe British coal strike had been settled sent the price up to 21.45 c for December and 21.15 c for January before the end of the first hour, with active months generally showing net advances of 60 to 80 points. Local trade interests with Liverpool connections said they had received no con firmation of the strike settlement reports, however, and the market eased off later in the morning with selling more active after the publication of the census report. This showed ginning of 5,712,057 bales to Octo ber 18. indicating the heaviest returns for the last period since 1914. December sold off to 20.85 c and January to 20.57 c. but latter firmed up again, owing to the con tinued absence of hedge selling and reports of a steadier southern spot situation. Trading was less active during the early afternoon and fluctuations were narrower, with September ruling around 21c and Jan ary 20.73 c, or about 28 to 35 points above aturday’s closing.

GRAIN MARKET OPINIONS Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: Oats show a steadier undertone than was seen in corn, and possibly a little more buying power is in evidence at times. Harris, Winthrop.* Co.: We favor sales on upturns brought about by export sales or favorable strike news. Hurlburd, Warren & Co.: Should the strike situation show improvement, the effect would be felt in our market. Thomson & McKinnon grain letter CHICAGO. HL. Oct. 25.—Wheat: Favor able nows from England and a scarcity of available wheat in the Chicago rniu&et were strengthening factors early. TlMy were overcome by heavy tone in cash corn, ab sence of any break foreign demand and above all things, by the poor buying power shown in merchandising circles. It is said that foreign buying orders are in the market but at limits somewhat lower than current level. General interest in market is dwin dling. transactions mainly of a merchan dising character. We believe this apathy on the part of investors and users is so plainly shown in commodities that it will affect wheat values. Corn: The movement of corn from coun try to terminal markets exceeds all expec tations as to duration. This, together with a poor demand from distributors' and indus tries, is a weight upon the market. Cur rent arrivals selling at lowest premiums on rhe crop and industries are withdrawing from the market. Reactions mav appear at any time, hut they are like! vto be fee ble and temporary. Oats: Elevators and cash handlers have been free sellers of December oats, pre sumably in the way of hedging against pur chases as it is reported that the producing section in northwest in selling freely. Lo cal industries are withdrawing from the market. There seems no reason from a supply and demand standpoint to expect anv advance. Provisions: Not only is the hog market weak, but average weight of hogs is increasing. Cash trade does not seem to be particularly active. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET CHICAGO.

I STATE CONVENTION IS HELD ON MONDAY IN CITY OF MACON (Continued from Page 1) historian and statesman,” who is totally and unalterably opposed to the covenant. With regard to the coming elec tion, Chairman Flynt declared it the duty of Georgia Democrats to give I Cox and Roosevelt the biggest Dem- I ocratic majority in the history of | the state. “Governor Cox will not be able to force- through the senate the League of Nations covenant, “said Chairman Flynt, “but Senator Hard ing, if elected, will be able to force upon us a horde of negro office holders. They put us on notice what to expect, when they elected Henry Lincoln Johnson to the national com mittee.” If there is any defection from the ranks of democracy in the presiden tial election, Chairman Flynt de clared, it will not consist of the Democrats who voted for Hardwick | and Watson, but of those who voted for Palmer, Dorsey and Walker. This comment brought tremendous ap plause. At the close of his speech Chair man Flynt recessed the convention thirty minutes for the credentials committee to examine the credentials of the delegates. The credentials committee had no contests, their work was a mere for mality, and was soon disposed of. The rules committee recommended that the rules of the house of rep resentatives be made the rules of the convention, the report was adopt ed. Following these reports, Chairman Flynt called for nominations for permanent chairman. William J. Ve reen, nominated Chairman Flynt and he was elected by acclamation. In accepting the permanent chairman ship, Judge Flynt reiterated his ap peal for the Democrats of Georgia to give Cox and Roosevelt a record breaking majority on November 2. Chairman Flynt then announced the committee on platform and res olutions as follows; J K. Hines, Fulton; G. C. Dekle, Jenkins; R. C. Andrews, Thomas; C. W. Foy, Taylor; A. D. Jones, Meri wether; O. M. Duke, Butts; C. M. Head, Cobb; T. S. Lunsford, Elbert; B. J. Stevens, McDuffie; J. P. Knight, Berrien; B. W. Moye, John son. Pottle Nominated Hardwick The committee retired to draft the platform of the convention. During a recess of ten minutes. Roland Ellis, of Macon, roused the delegates to a pitch of intense enthusiasm ! with an impromptu speech declaring J he would never rest until Thomas W Hardwick is back in the senate. This was followed immediatelv by the nomination of Mr. Hardwick by Joseph E. Pottle, the brilliant Mill edgeville lawyer. The triumph of Mr. Hardwick, said Mr. -Pottle, demonstrated that freedom Os speech, of the press and of opinion still reign in Georgia. It demonstrated further, that the Dem ocrats of Georgia will not be ruled by a callous political oligarchy that ruthlessly crushes all who disobey its orders. “Senator Hardwick has not come back,” said Mr. Pottle. “He has never been anywhere to come back from. Two years he wis made the victim of the most cruel piopaganda in Georgia’s political history. He sacrificed the glittering prize of a place in the senate before he would stui.ify himself bv accepting opin ions constructed for him by men in high au’hcrity. “He passed through the tire of slander and persecution and came out unscathed, without the olor of fire upon his garments and without a scar upon his flesh. “Today I have the honor and high privilege of nominating him for the high office of governor, a man of full stature, a man’s man, whose courage has never wavered and whose loyalty has never failed.” Mr. Pottle’s speech was brief and full of eloquent fire, one of the most effective nominating speeches ever delivered in a Georgia political convention. The nomination of Mr. Hardwick was seconded Dy W. J. Peterson, of Montgomery county, whose eloquence won repeated applause. The nomination of Mr. Hardwick was then confirmed by the conven tion by an uproarious viva voce vote and Chairman FJynt appointed James B. Nevin, of Fulton; Clayton W. Rob son, of Baldwin, and D. B. Blalock as a notification committee to escort the nominee to the platform. As Mr. Hardwick came on the stage, the delegates rose en masse and gave the rebel yell in a sten torian chorus. A delegate rushed to the stage with an enormous broom of green cane, bearing the label: “The Third District Stands for a Clean Sweep.” Mr. Hardwick acknowledged the ovation with a bow and a smile, then launched at once into his address of acceptance, the full text of which ap pears elsewhere in this issue of The Journal. McGregor Nominates Watson Mr. Hardwick’s address was de livered in his usual forceful style, and was received with repeated out bursts of ' pplause. At the conclu sion of the address, Chairman Flynt, recognized Major C. E. McGregor, of Warrenton, to place in nomination the name of Thomas E. Watson for United States senator. Major McGregor gave a brief and interesting summary of Mr. Wat son’s career, beginning with his boy hood at Mercer University, coming on down through the populist cam paigns of the nineties, and dwelling especially on Mr. Watson’s term of two years in congress from the Tenth district of Georgia. “Mr. Watson.” he said, “was the friend of the farmer when he took part in framing the Ocala platform in 1890. and has been the friend of the farmer ever since. His imprint upon ’.he legislative history of this republic in his two short years in congress will live in bright glory as long as the republic endures.” In this connection, he mentioned the act creating the rural free de livery, the act requiring safety ap pliances on railroad trains, the Wat son exposure of drinking by mem bers of congress and other features of Mr. Watson’s record in the na tional house. Paying a tribute to. Mr. Watson as a historian, Major McGregor declar ed that his life of Jefferson and Life of Jackson are the Democratic class ics of America. He declared the in- PROSPERITY SURE IF CALAMITY HOWLIzR WILL KEEP SILENT (Continued from Paga 1.) financial assistance through the Fed eral Reserve bank. These assurances have had some effect in stabilizing prices, and the tendency from now on may be upward. It appears the farm ers have determined that there will be no ‘dumping’ of the crop on the market, and are beginning to properly store their product preliminary to the orderly marketing of same. As the market advances towards the cost of production the mills will very like- Co-operate Says Mr. Candler “As was the subject of remark among the officers of the Central Bank and Trust corporation, at their daily conference, this morning, there is an unmistakable rift in the cloud of business depression,” said Asa G. Candler, Sr. “Every indication points to improved conditions. “The tone of the correspondence coming to the bank from out of town is more optimistic. The people everywhere are beginning to realize that the underlying conditions are sound. The development of a spirit of co-operation, which inevit ably will result in a satisfactory basis of readjustment, is highly en couraging.” “I have no advice to offer respect ing the disposition of the new cot ton crop, but I am reminded of the soundness of economic theory that all staple commodities, such as cot ton. wheat, etc., should and will com mand a price in excess of the cost of production. ‘‘lt was my confidence in this economic truth that prompted me. in 1914 to propose to underwrite the cotton crop to the extent of $30,000,- 000 on a basis of six cents a pound. I realized that it had cost the south ern farmers more than six cents a nound to produce their crop, and I was confident that if the cotton were safely stored and held it would bring a price that would yield a re turn on the Investment. “I feel the same way today about our cotton crop notwithstanding the bear raids on the market. If I had warehouse facilities available 1 would not hesitate to make advances on cotton closely approximating the present market price, and I may add. parenthetically, that I would ■wel come information from Washington that the Candler warehouses are to be released by the government, which is now occupying them. . Unfortu nately. I have no idea when the gov ernment will vacate the warehouses so that they will be available for the storage of cotton.” The Candler warehouses, which have been occupied by the govern ment as an army storage and dis tribution depot for several years, are capable of storing 250,000 bales of compressed cotton, and if the ware houses were available Mr. Candler’s confidence in cotton is such that he would, as he says, advance $25,000,- 000 for the storage of 250,000 bales of cotton. Continuing Mr. Candler said; Put Cotton in Warehoune “If the farmers Intend holding their cotton, it is most important that they should place it In bonded warehouses, where it will be pro tected against the wind and weather and against loss by fire. Warehouse receipts are excellent collateral for loans, and the farmer who is at tempting to hold his cotton will contribute much to relieve the sit uation by storing his cotton and using the warehouse receipts to can cel obligations or secure credits. “The financing of the crop is a simple matter, but it requires co operation, and the co-operation must begin with the producer of the sta ple. Unless he places his cotton in warehouses and protects his credit with the country merchants by fur nishing the receipts as security the merchants, in turn, cannot furnish security to the country banks that have financed him, and the banks, in these circumstances, cannot ex tend further credits. But, on the other hand, if the farmer will ware house his cotton and secure the coun try merchants with warehouse re ceipts, then these receipts will be accepted by the country banks from the merchants, and will, in turn, secure additional advances from the city banks and finally from the Fed eral Reserve bank. “I regard it as a favorable sign that there are cumulative evidences of this spirit of co-operation, and I am gratified, though not surprised, that in consequence, the outlook is growing brighter every day.” Mine Superintendent Is Shot to Death WILLIAMSTON, W. Va., Oct. 23. ' John Gates, superintendent of the ’ Gates mine of the Crystal Block. Mining company, was shot by uni dentified persons this morning while walking along the Mingo county road near the company store at Gates, ten miles east of Williamson, according - to reports received here. Federal troops on duty in the Mm-' go county strike zone immediately were sent from Sprlgg, near Gates, to establish patrols in the woods which flank the road and from which : the shots came. Also bloodhounds were hurried from Williamson to, the scene in an effort to trace those responsible for the shooting. accuracy of President Wilson’s “His tory of the American People” cover ing five volumes, are corrected in one, volume of Watson’s “Life of Je.ffer-, s.on” Continueing, Major McGregor, said: “Mr. Watson’s opinion of Wood-1 row Wilson was formed long before . the president of Princeton became ■ the autocratic ruler of the United • States. And why should be change , his opinion of Wilson, the renegade, ■ because Wilson chanced to become, president of the United States” A; renegade to his country and its prin-1 ciples, I mean, although in private.' life I do not question his personal patriotism.” From this Major McGregor passed to a discussion of Mr. Watson’s il lustrious fame as the author of “The Story of France” and “the Life of Napoleon.” During this period of his speech, the delegates became im- 1 patient to hear Mr. Watson, and their calls for the sage of McDuffie became so insistent that Major McGregor , abruptly closed with the remark: „ • “I’m going to quit rihgt here” ' The nomination of Mr. Watson was I briefly and eloouently seconded by William G. Mcßae, a blue jacket of the navy and a citizen of Rockmart, followed by Lieutenant S. C, Rut land, of LaGrange. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1920. SAY ANNISTON (MAN SOLD FAKE DIVORCES TO GEORGIA PEOPLE ■ (Continued from Page 1) followed with closer attention in the state of Georgia than anywhere else, dozens of witnesses having been se cured by the investigation made by the postoffice department when the matter was reported several months ago. Just what method of advertising was used by the Anniston attorney to secure the applications in such large numbers has not been disclosed by the inspectors for the department, but it is known that many of the • j divorces have been discovered m Afferent sections of Georgia. Many of them are said to have been pretended copies of the original decrees, filled in with a typewriter, and the name of the presiding judge supposed to have issued the order in many cases being supplied also bv the typewriter method. Others of the decrees in possession of the postof fice department are said to bear the written signature of officials, so that an additional charge of forgery possi bly may arise in connection with the government’s prosecution following the extensive developments brought about and made public bv the arrest of the Anniston lawyer. In their investigation the postof j.ice inspectors detailed on the case came across several local cases where the fake decrees had been is sued, and in other cases men and women both were found who made the claim that they had paid the stipulated $25 in full settlement for the decrees without receiving even the illegal kind alleged to have been furnished so extensively by Judge Creen. One of the most pitiful reports of the alleged operations of the Annis ton attorney came to light at the Calhoun county courthouse here a few days ago, when a frail, little woman applied to Judge Thomas W. Coleman, Jr., for a warrant for her husband, who, she claimed, had se cured a divorce from her without her knowledge, and who had lived with her for several months after it had been secured making the announce ment that he intended to leave her on the day he showed her the di vorce decree in his possession. A search of the court record failed to show such a court order. The woman was heart-broken over the affair and collapsed several times while she was telling the story in the sheriff’s office and begging some of the officials to prevent her hus band from running away and leav ing her and her two children by a former marriage.
