Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—The cotton market
opened steady at a decline of 15 to 42
points and sold about 40 to 60 points net
lower during the early trading with De
cember touching 21.67 and January 21.15.
Reactionary sentiment was encouraged by
the easier ruling of Liverpool, and. there
seemed to be renewed nervousness over the
British labor sMuation. Houses with New
Orleans connections were among the most
active early sellers, but otherwise south
ern offerings were not heavy and the open
ing break was followed by rallies of sev
eral points on prospects for lower tem-
The official forecasts for frost in northern
parts of the belt were followed by a flurry
of covering later, which sent December up to
21.96 c and January to 21.48 c, or about 30 to
33 points above the early low prices. This
improvement was not fully maintained, and
trading was quiet early in the noon hour,
with prices holding fairly steady around
21.33 c for January, or about 42 points net
lower. The weekly report of the weather
bureau said that good progress had been
made with picking east of the Mississippi
river, but that west of the river picking had
been delayed and open cotton dameged by
failure of the reported settlement Os
the British coal strike to stimulate fresh
bnvlng led to a renewal of liquidation and
selling for a reaction during the early after
noon. December broke to 21.50 c and January
to 20.98 c, with active months generally show
ing net losses of 65 to 85 points around 2
' o'clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 27.—The less fa
vorable advices concerning the negotia
tions to end the coal strike in Great Britain
caused heavy selling of cotton today, much
liquidation coming from the long side. Dur
ing the first hour of the session the active
months were sent 51 to 55 points under the
close of yesterday, December falling to
21.04 and May to 20.23.
'Die forecast of frost over a considerable
area in the western half of the belt created
more demand and some buying came in on
I rivate cablegrams from Liverpool claiming
that coal strike negotiations were again
making favorable progress. The market
made partial recoveries, standing 19 to 25
points down net late in the morning.
Many traers on the long side evidently
thought the steadyy spot caused by the fa
vorable report concerning the coal strike of
fered a good opportunity for realizing prof
it and too much liquidation came on the
market with the result that the late ’rad
in? saw a constant decline. Toward the
close prices were 112 to 118 points under
the final prices of yesterday, with Decem
ber down to 20.42 and May to 19.62.

Cotton Ginned Prior to October 18
5,712,057 Bales vs. 4,929,104 Last Year
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. —The government’s cotton ginning re
port today showed a total of 5,712,057 bales ginned prior to October
18, and indicated that the sporadic attempts through the cotton belt
to keep gins closed until the price of cotton advanced to higher levels
had had little effect. The ginnings this year aggregate 782,953 bales
more than the quantity ginned to October 18 last year, when the crop
was 794,000 bales smaller than the forecast for this year.
On the government’s forecast of a crop of 12,123,000 bales this
year, the ginnings’to October 18 appeared to be about 47.1 per cent
of the total. This is a higher percentage than was ginned last year
to October 18, 43.5 per cent —but lower than the average of 48.9
for the last eighteen years.
Cotton ginned prior to October 18 amounted to 5,712,057 run
ning bales, including 138,554 round bales, 14,312 bales of American-
Egyptian and 340 bales of Sea Island, the census bureau announced
today.
Ginning last year to October 18 amounted to 4,929,104 run
ning bales, including 55,555 round bales, 8,890 bales of American-
Egyptian and 1,792 bales of Sea Island.

Western Farmer Strike
Had No Effect on Wheat
CHICAGO, Oct. 27.—The first day’s
“strike” by western farmers against mar
keting wheat at present low prices had
no effect on strengthening quotations on
the Chicago Boar dos Trade today. After
a strong opening a reaection set in which
carried all grain quotations downward. The
increase shown at the opening was gener
ally credited to the farmers’ reported stand
against marketing wheat at this time, but
as trading advanced and reports from oYer
the grain belt showed that the “strike”
was having little effect, the market sagged.
Provisions were lower.
December wheat opened at $2.11, up
and closed at 2.06. March opened un
changed at $2.02}6 and closed off 2164,
at $2.(1).
December corn up at the opening,
82%c, closed nt 82c. May up %c at the
opening of 89%c,* closed at 88>6c.
December oats was up 14c at the open

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.—Fresh advances in
the price of wheat took- place today on
general buying which was chiefly ascribed
to notice taken of the farm strike ami
to yesterday's large export business. Open
ing prices, which varied from unchanged
figures to 1% cents higher, were followed
by substantial gains all around and then
something of a reaction.
Wheat closed weak, 2%c to 3%c net
lower.
Corn Sympathized with the strength of
wheat.
Corn closed heavy, % to %c net lower.
Oats Were firm with other grain.
Provisions lacked support, despite the up

DOBBS RESIGNS,
CANDLER ELECTED
COCA-COLA HEAD
The resignation oY Samuel C.
Dobbs as president and the election
of C. Howard Candler to succeed him
as the active head of the Coca-Cola
Company, of Delaware, &t the meet
ing of the board of directors in New
York on Monday, confirmed reports
that have been current in Atlanta
for several weeks. The public also
had anticipated the action of the
board in passing the quarterly divi
dend on the common stock of the
company, thousands of shares of
which are held in Atlanta.
Although no statement was given
out either in New York or Atlanta
concerning Mr. Dobbs’ reason for re
signing the presidency of the com
pany, it is understood that he'and
members of the board have been in
disagreement for some time respect
ing certain business policies and that
his retirement was the result of these
irreconcilible differences.
With the retirement of Mr. Dobbs
as president and the election of
Howard Candler to that office, W. C.
Bradley, of Columbus, was named
chairman of the board of directors,
succeeding Mr. Candler and in turn
retiring as chairman of the execu
tive committee. .
At Monday’s meetng, Harrison
/ones, of Atlanta, and B. S. McCash,
of Atlanta, were elected vice presi
dents. William Candler continues
Secretary of the company, and S. F.
Boykin, treasurer. W. P. Heath con
tines as vice president.

SPEECH DELIVERED
AT WHITE HOUSE
(Continned from Page 1)
matter who attempts them in the
future. It is as exact a defini
tion as could be given in gen
eral terms of the outrage which
Germany would have committed
if it could. Germany violated
the territorial integrity of her
.neighbors and flouted their po
litical independence in .order to
aggrandize herself, and almost
every war of history has origi
nated in such designs. It Is sig
nificant that the nations of the
world should have at last com
bined to define the general cause
of war and to exercise such con
cert as may be necessary to' pre
vent such methods.
Article X, therefore, is the
specific redemption of the pledge
which the free governments of.
the world gave to their people
when they entered the war. They
promised their people not 'only
that Germany would be prevent
ed from carrying out her plot, but
that the world would be safe
guarded in the future frm simi
lar diesigns. We have now to
choose whether we will make
good or quit. We have joined
issue, and the issue is between
the spirit and purpose of the
United States and the spirit and
purpose of imperialism, no mat
ter it shows itself. The
spirit of imperialism is abso
lutely opposed to free govern
ment .to the safe life of free na
tions. to the development of
neaceful industry, and to the
completion of the rigitfeous pro
cesses of civilization. It seetns
to me. and I think it will seem to
you, that it is our duty to show
the indomitable will and irre
sistible majesty of the high pur
pose of the United States, so
that the part we played in the
war as soldiers and sailors may
be crowned with the achievement,
of lasting peace. No one who op
poses the ratification of the
treaty of Versailles and the
adoption of the covenant of the
League of Nations has proposed
any other adequate means of
bringing about settled peace.
No Other Means
There is no other available or
possible means, and this means
is ready to hand. They have, on
the contrary, tried to persaude
you that the very pledge contain
ed in Article X, which is the es
sential pledge of the whole plan
of security, is itself a threat of
war. It is, on the contrary, an
assurance of the concert of all
the free peoples of the world in
the future, as in the recent past,
to see justice done and humanity
protected and vindicated. This is
the true, the real Americanism.
This is the role of leadership and
championship of the right which
the leaders of the republic in
tended that it should play. The
so-called Americanism which we
hear so much prating about now
is spurious and invented for
party purposes only.
This choice is the supreme
choice of the present campaign.
It is regrettable that this choice
should be associated with a party
contest. As compared with the
choice of a course of action that
now underlies every other, the
fate of panties is a matter of in
difference. Parties are signifi
cant now in this contest only be
cause the voters must make up
their minds which of the two
parties is most likely to secure
the indispensable result. The
nation was never called upon to
make a more solemn determina
tion than it must now make.
The whole future mbral force of
right in the world depends upon
the United States rather than
upon any other nation and it
would be pitiful indeed, if. after
so many great free peoples had
entered the great league, we
should hold aloof. T suggest that
the candidacy of every candidate
for whatever office be tested by
this question: Shall we or shall
we 'not redeem the great moral
obligation of the United States?

Greatest Prosperity Era
Faces Southern States,
Fairfax Harrison Says
That the section south of the Ma
son and Dixon line is facing the
greatest era of prosperity ever
known in the history of Amejica, is
the statement of Fairfax Harrison,
president of the Southern Railway
system, in his annual report to the
board of directors of the southern
lines.
Declaring that every economic test
proves the permanency and stability
of southern development, Mr. Harr
rison submits a series of facts to
show that the states lying south of
the Potomac river are just enter
ing upon an epoch of commercial
and industrial supremacy that will
make Dixie a vital factor in world
business affairs.
“Things have changed,’’ says Mr.
Harrison. “From the days 'when
southern peojple struggled for a bare
existence they have evolved into an
industrial center which is being
viewed by the world as an achieve
ment.” i
In describing the process by
which the south has developed into
a great commercial actor, Mr. Harri
son dwells particularly upon the
firm and stable foundation for its
commerce, laying stress upon the
industrial development which he
holds largely responsible. He says:
Old Condition Compared
“In the years following the War
Between the States, the south pro
duced at low costs what It had to
sell, and sold it as raw material at
low prices, but it bought and con
sumed the manufactures of the north
at the high prices whioh were main
tained by the relatively high wgges
paid at the north. As a result, the
south was kept poor. With the de
velopment of southern industry in
recent years have come higher
prices for southern products and
higher wages for southern people,
thereby increasing the purchasing
power of the average southern fam
ily. Not only has property been dis
tributed In away never befqre
known in the south, but the section
al aggregate of prosperity is
greater.
Mr. Harrison questions the current
belief that there is inflation and ex
travagances in the present situation.
He says that the principal cause for
sunch opinion is that the standard of
living has been greatly raised in the
so*th.
His report contains a most.compre
hensive compilation of figures tend
ing to show the amazing industrial
growth in this section.
“There is a marked increase in the
variety of manufacturers in the
south,” declares Mr. Harrison. “The
movement is toward the complete
conversion of raw material into fin
ieshed articles. In 1890, but 528,895'
bales of cotton were consumed by
southern mills, and this cotton went
into the manufacture of yarn and un
bleached fabrics, which were sent to
other manufacturing centers for
completion. In 1919 the southern
mills consumed 4,491.000 bales of cot
ton, which were turned into the fin
ished product without ever leaving
southern factories.
“The number of new industrial es
tablishments now in course of con
sturctlon including additions to en
terprises already in operation, is
greater than at any time in the his
tory of the south. Five hundred and
eight new industries were completed
and uut in operation along the lines
of the Southern Railway system, and
294 Industries were enlarged during
the year 1919 and the first si •
months of 1920. Capital to the
amount of $225,816,000 was invested
in new industries in ‘the territory
served by the Southern Railway sys
tem during the three years from jilly
1, 1917, to June 20, 1920, and the es
timated cost of plants under con
struction on thelatter date was $153,-
165.000.”
Coicerning his report with an
analysis of the live stock, coal, iron
and exports of the south, Mr. Har
rison comments on the astoundig
growth of those elements of trade.
He says that they have Increased
tremendously, and that best of all
thi sincrease has been along sound
business lines, and that the indus
tries are most stable.
“The cheerful fact is present.”
says Mr, Harrison, “that the south is
today feeling what Dr. Johnson
called ‘the potentiallity of growing
rich beyond the dreams of avarice.”
Belgian Balloon
Is Winner of Race
From Birmingham
NEW YORK. Oct. 72.—Officials of
the Aero Club of America todny con
ceded that the Gordon Bennett inter
national trophy for free balloons had
been won by the Belgian entry, “Bel
gica,” piloted by two Belgian army
officers, Lieutenants De Muyter and
Laßrousse.
Formal announcement of the win
ner of the international race which
started from Birmingham, Ala., last
Saturday, probably will not be made
for several days, because of the ne
cessity of collecting aeronautical
data in connection with the contest.
All seven balloons which started
have landed, according to reports
which reached the club this morn
ing. except United States army bal
loon No. 1, piloted by Lieutenant R.
E. Thompson. Press dispatches reach
ing Chicago, however, stated that
Thompson, with Captain Harold
Weeks, had landed late Sunday night
near Charlotte, Mich., more than 600
miles from Birmingham.
With this unofficial report from
Lieutenant Thompson, aero club of
ficials admitted that the Belgians
had won. having covered about 1,100
miles between Birmingham and Lake
Champlain, where they landed yester
day at North Hero island.
Allan R. Hamley, president of the„
club, returned today from Birming
ham. where he witnessed the start.
He declared it was the most success
ful rave ever held and resulted in en
gendering a better feeling between
American and foreign balloonists.
Plans are under way for a banquet
to be held in this city in monor of
the Belgian winners. At the dinner
the Bennett trophy will be presented.

COX ENDS W. VA.
CAMPAIGN WITH
PLEA FOR LEAGUE
KENOVA, W. Va., Oct. 26—Gov
ernor Cox, of Ohio, closed his West
Virginia campaign here today with
another appeal for the League of Na
tions and a statement that the
churches, labor and women were to
gether in the movement which, he
said, was “sweeping the country.”
In this connection, the democratic
presidential candidate called atten
tion to a statement a year ago from
President Taft, which, the governor
said, prophesied his present view of
the situation.
“I desire to pay Judge , Taft a
tribute,” said the governor. “He
possesses a gift which I did not think
was his. He has the gift of prophe
cy. Speaking just about a year ago
in West Virginia he said that labor
would indorse the League of Nations
because of,its labor provisions; that
the churches would indorse it be
cause it is right, and then if the wom
en were given the vote, they would
all be for it because of their abhor
ence of war, and in the last week it
is perfectly apparent that Judge Taft
correctly visualized the future.
“From pulpit and congregation
comes the same story of religious
fervor. No class lias been reading
the league more industriously than
labor. I found miners in the moun
tains of this state thoroughly famil
iar with it, and the Republicans are
having trouble with their women’s
meetings—all of which bears elo
quent tribute to Judge Taft’s lore
sight. -

Charles E. Davis, Rome
Lawyer, Loses Appeal,
Jo Serve Ten Years
Charles E. Davis, the Rome law
yer, who was convicted last year in
Fulton superior court of forging the
name of the late Justice Logan
Bleckley to a deed for certain timber
lands in Ware county, was denied
an appeal of his case to the supreme
court on Tuesday.
Davis was sentenced by Judge
Humphries to ten years in the chain
gang. He took his case to the court
of appeals and his conviction and
sentence was affirmed. He then un
dertook to appeal to the supreme
court on a writ of' certiorari. The
supreme court on Tuesday declined
the writ. This finally exhausted the
case so far as the courts were con
cerned.
Davis was brought from Rome
Monday night and lodged in the Ful
ton county tower. He will begin the
serving of his sentence of ten years’
imprisonment for forgery as soon
as the prison commission assigns him
to a place.
The nncarceration of Davis com
pletes the final chapter in a long
legal fight for freedom. The defend
ant was convicted in the criminal
division of the superior court June
7, 1919, of a charge of forgery, it
being alleged he forged the name of
the late Justice Logan E. Bleck
ley to a fictitious deed for land.
■ The trial of the ease was one of
the most sensational of its kind ever
held in the superior criminal court.
