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.

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.

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.

Corn Sympathized with the strength of wheat. Corn closed heavy, % to %c net lower. Oats Were firm with other grain.

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. TEXT OF WILSON’S 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? Former Nashville Girl To Wed British Peer LONDON, Oct. 26.—Announcement is made of the engagement of the widow of Captain Alfred Thomas Shaughnessy to the Honorable Peer Walter Legh, son of Baron Newton, and captain of the Grenadier Guards. The bride-elect is a daughter of the late Judge Bradford, of Nashville, Tenn., and her first husband was killed in 1916, having been a mem ber of the Canadian expeditionary forces. 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. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1020. 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. - G. 0.

Dept. A 302 Tyrone, Pa. 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.
