COTTON
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Renewed nervoun-
Bess over the British labor situation, lower
Liverpool cables and the failure of early
■weather advices to show any sign of the pre
dicted frosts, were the more prominent
factors on an early decline In the cotton
market today.
The opening wns barely steady at a de
cline of 20 to 41 points, and the active
months sold 37 to 55 points net lower within
the first half hour under liquidation, Liver
pool and southern selling. Private cables
re]>orted general selling in Liverpool absorbed
fey trade buying to fix prices on call sales
at the decline. December contracts here sold
off to 20.60 c and January to 20.18 c on the
early break, making a decline of about 2
cents per pound from the high prices touched
on the early week rally.
The earlv selling movement carried the
market off to 20.48 for December and
20.05 for January, or 45 to 65 points net
lower on the general list. The decline was
then checked by reports that the British
coal strike had been settled and -the mar
ket firmed up during the middle of the day
owing to the closing strength of Liverpool
an covering. The latter was promoted by
•xpectations that detailed weather reports
would show frost at some points in the belt
and prices recovered the greater part of
their early losses with January seling at
20.65, or within 8 points of last night’s clos
ing quotations.
Both the strike settlement and frost news
seemed to have been discounted by -he ad
vance to 20.72 for January, which carried
prices back to about last night’s closing
quotations. The market weakened later un
der wire house and Wail street selling pro
moted by weakness in stocks and grain, and
with January ruling around 20.36 during
the mid-afternoon compared wit 20.73 at the
close yesterday.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 28.—The hitch in
the negotiations to end the British coal
•trike was the dominating factor in cotton
today, and it caused heavy selling on the
opening aud for some time after, with tne
result that prices were sent 59 to 60 points
under the close of yesterday to 19.85 c for
December and 19.15 c for May. The market
was steady at the decline because of the
cold weather and frost reported in the cotton
region.
The decline finally amounted to 59069
points hut quick reactions followed cable
grams from London and Liverpool, claim
ing that the coal strike actually had been
settled and late in the morning December
traded up to 20.40 c with the list showing
net losses of only 6 to 11 points.
Another period of liquidation of long con
tracts occurred during which there was a
drop to levels 59 to 77 points under the
close of yesterday hut in the late trading
the market developed sudden firmness and
made a most surprising show of strength,
the only reason for which appeare to be
the determination of big interests to run
' the shorts to cover. Toward the close pri'-es
were 46 to 52 points higher than the final
prices of yesterday and December was trad
ing at 21 cents.

JOURNAL OF COMMERCE REPORT
NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Special reports of
the Journal of Commerce from North Caro
lina. say there has been heavy shedding
and in many cases the condition has turned
out below expectations. The loss in condi
tion promises to be about 4 per eent against
2.6 per cent last year, picking estimated at
41 per cent against 68.7 per cent a year
ago.
In South Carolina cotton has also suf
fered from unfavorable weather. Picking is
only about 60 per cent completed, against
83 per cent last year. About 75 per cent is
being held back. Condition has deteriorated
about 3 per cent from last month’s figure.
In Georgia the outlook is decidedly gdoomy
and correspondents predict a yield of only
about 50 per cent of last year’s. • A sharp
lowering from last month’s condition of 59.2
is indicated.
From 75 to 95 per cent of the cotton
ginned Is being stored in warehouses for
better prices.
SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 28.—A nervous and
sagging market developed in cotton today,
many traders on the long side becoming
thoroughly discouraged over the English la
bor situation. Throughout the day there
was much liquidation of long cotton. In
the early trading prices were lower because
of the hitch late yesterday in coni strike
negotiations and later when it was an
nounced thnt the coal strike conference had
finally agreed to end the strike the market
mude only partial recoveries which were
not well maintained, t Is rather probable
that during the next couple of dnys more
liquidation will be felt because of the triple
holidays which follow Saturday in this
market.
vOTTON MARKET OPINIONS
S. M. Weld & Co.: We expect lower prices
and advise sales.
Hubbard Bros. & Co.: We think the purely
speculative short interest has been much re
duced, and until there Is a change in trade
conditions, so that it is possible to move
goods In volume and thereby bring a demand
from the spinners, we do not care to follow
advances.
J. S. Bache & Co.: We are Inclined to be
lieve that on any further substantial setback
cotton would be a good purchase.
Moyse & Hslmes: We would sell on the
bulges.
Munds, Rogers & Stackpole: We expect a
trading market aud would give preference to
pureheses or- sharp breaks.
Lnmborn & Co.: We would be more in
clined to sell the market on strong spots.

GRAIN
CHICAGO, Oct. 28. —Bearish contentions
that the farm strike had not developed to
the extent which had been looked for, did u
good deal apparently today to bring about a
new setback in wheat prices. Opening
prices, which ranged from 1 to B%e lower
were followed by a moderate rally, but then
by a fresh sag.
Wheat closed unsettled, % to 1%, net
higher.
Corn sympathized with the action of
wheat.
Corn closed firm at the same as yester
day’s final to %e higher.
Oats weakened owing to the fall of other
cereals.
Scattered seling from commission houses
sufficed to weigh down provisions.

DICTOGRAPH TRAP BY
PROHIBITION AGENTS
SET FOR J. H. HARDEN
(Continued from Page 1)
ture between Attorney Clay and As
sistant District Attorney Paul Car
penter, who conducted the prosecu
tion. Both lawyers were on their
feet almost constantly, making ob
jections to testimony a*id charging
each other with leading the wit
nesses.
Attorney Clay called the govern
ment’s plan to trap Harden a “con
cocted plan,” and intimated that it
l had been laid to induce the bribery.
Mr. Dixon next testified that
several months after the hotel scene,
I in which the SSOO was paid him by
' Harden, the defendant met him at
Canton, Ga., and offered him a sec
ond SSOO for protection, and that he
further told him, “I want you to
have the money anyhow, because
you are a good fellow.”
Captain Gene Hardeman, assistant
supervising enforcement officer, and
other witnesses, told of the trap
in in the Wilmot hotel which en
abled officers to hear Harden’s at
tempt t o bribe Dixon and which
caused the defendant’s arrest.

G. 0. P. DELEGATION
HEARS WILSON ON
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
(Continued from Page 1)
to resist exactly the things
which Germany attempted, no
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
vvhich 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 carryingout 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. 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 where 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
Peaceful industry, and to the
completion of the righteous pro
cesses of civilization. It seems
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 persp.ude
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 parties 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 moral 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. I 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?
Christian Index Seeks
Names of All Baptist
Soldiers Who Died
Editor The Journal: Both The Daily
and Trl-Weekly Journal have wide
circulation in Georgia with city,
town, hamlet and countryside. There
fore, I ask a favor. On November
11. Armistice day, the Christian In
dex will issue an “Armistice issue.”
In it they wish the name of every
soldier coming from a Baptist home
who died durig the war, who may
have died in American combat, on
the high seas, in the trenches, or in
battle line. Wherever they were, the
name, home address and, if possible,
place of death, is desired. Every boy
■wearing khaki and coming from a
Baptist family who gave his life
during the war. Many of them lived
in remote places, off the railroad. Tn
some cases their death was not even
mentioned by their county paper.
Yet they gave their lives and their
names should be known.
I feel sure you will insert this in
both your daily and tri-weekly. In
behalf of our heroic dead. Send
names to editor Christian Index,
Georgia Savings Bank building, At
lanta, as soon as possible.

part or in whole until July next year,
and to enact legislation to put into effect
and force legal machinery to assure the
reduction in cotton acreage of 33 1-3 per
cent, this act to be passed under the gen
eral welfare clause, the farmer to make
regal returns showing the acreage planted
this year and acreage to be plan’ed next
year. A special act to provide a heavy
tax for any acreage planted in excess of
66 2-3 per cent of the amount planted this
year should be passed.
“The enforcement of this law should be
placed in the ha»<ls of state and county

said law.

SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR
NOT TO ISSUE CALLS
COLUMBIA, S. C.. Oct. 28.—Gov
ernor Cooper stated today that he
would not call a special session of
the legislature as requested in a
resolution adopted by the cotton as
sociation here yesterday, and indi
cated that he would not issue a proc
lamation calling upon the ginners to
close down for a period of thirty
days. The special session of the leg
islature was requested for the enact
ment of legislation which would al
low the farmers to pay part of their
1020 taxes in January and the re
mainder next July, the postponement
being desired because of the finan
cial situation due to the low price of
cotton.
The governor stated today that as
the legislature meets in regular ses
sion in January and as the people
will next Tuesday vote on the ques
tion of changing the fiscal year fbr
the state government, there would
be nothing gained by calling a spe
cial session.
W’ith regard to the proclamation
for the closing of gins, the governor
is informed that many of the farm
ers are opposed to this, and he takes
the position, that he has no more
right to use his influence for a clos
ing of cotton gins than he would
have for a closing of stores or other
lines of industry.

INTEREST REVIVAL
IN LEAGUE ISSUE
WILL AFFECT RACE
(Continued from Page 1)
X and in the east, at least, nobody
including Senator Harding has sent
messages in the last few days to
Senators Johnson or Borah telling
hem they were interpreting the Re
>ublican platform correctly. In
ced, the restiveness displayed by
. illiam Randolph Hearst, who calls
n Governor Cox to repudiate- the
ague and at the same time criti
ises Harding “for wiggling and
.obbling,” js another indication of
nrest in the camn of the “irrecon
•liables” and others who favor the
ejection of the treaty and any
,eague of Nations.
With a growing sentiment in fa
or of the principle of a League of
Nations, there is no question fe
.Senator Harding’s speech at Des
Moines saying he didn’t want to
clarify obligations, but that he was
seeking “rejection,” has been con
strued as meaning rejection of the
whole league and not Article X
alone as his friends insist was his
meaning.
However, east of the Mississippi
river it is the judgment of this cor
respondent that even the changing of
votes at the eleventh hour to Cox
from Harding will not enable the
Democrats to c°.rry New York, New
Jersey, Illinois or Ohio though they
have admittedly made progress ev
ery day since the Des Moines speech
and are daily acquiring the votes of
large numbers of women. Presi
dent Wilson saw the issue of this
campaign before anyone else in his
party and his judgment has been
vindicated in the sense that with it
the Democrats have been able to
make more progress than with any
thing else. The big question is
whether the Democrats have been
able to cover up mistakes on do
mestic administration by the use of
the league issue. Or to put it an
other way, is the country going to
vote on questions of foreign policy
to the exclusion of domestic trou
bles or irritations and restrictions
growing out of the war and the re
construction period? The only
place for such independence to be
displayed—if it appears at all—ls
in the west which showed itself able
in 1916 to part company with the
rock-ribbed Republican east. Can
the west and south win for Cox or
is there any other combination par
tially in the east and partially in the
west which would carry him to vic
tory? These questions will be an
swered with an electoral table in
tomorrow's article.
Confusion Feared in
Election From Small
Type Used on Tickets
The small, close printing of the
constitutional amendments on the
long ticket to be voted in next Tues
day’s election, is liable to give vot
ers a little trouble, requiring some
extra attention on their part, accord
ing to J. C. Collier, of Barnesville,
a prominent worker for the new
county of Lamar.
“It is necessary for the voter to
vote one way or another on each of
the constitutional amendments, or
his vote on that amendment will not
be counted.” Mr. Collier said. “While
we are naturally anxious for all vot
ers to cast their ballots for the new
counties, we still feel that this mat
ter should be called to the attention
of all voters so that they will not
lose their votes on any proposition
“There are five prosperous Georgia
towns figuring on becoming new
county seats aa the result of the
election,” Mr. Collier continued.
“Lamar will have Barnesville: Semi
nole will have Donalsonville; Lanier
county’s seat will be Milltown; Long
county will have Ludowici, and
Brantley county, Hoboken.
“Ever,v one of these new counties
is ready to shoot ahead with new
courthouses, good roads, new schools,
churches and other improvements as
soon as the final verdict is given.
As in the case of other new counties
Which Georgia has recently made,
these five are ready to add their new
millions to Georgia’s taxable values;
t provide new and more accessible
court facilities .and to furnish them
selves with finer and more siutable
public buildings and institutions, as
well as to go after new manufac
turing and industrial enterprises.
“The small, sporadic opposition
which is almost altogether local, is
not worrying us, because we feel
that when the voters of Georgia
know that the new counties already
created have added more than $50,-
000.000 to Georgia’s tax values, there
will be no question about the results.
They have likewise shortened the
distances to courthouses and built
some of the best roads in the state.
It is a noteworthy fact also, that
every old county which has been cut
to make a new one, has prospered
and shown remarkable enhancement
in tax values.
“As for my home town of Barnes
ville. which I naturally feel is one
of the finest communities in the
state there will be no question as to
its rapid progress, as soon as it has
the opportunity which Lamar coun
ty will furnish it.”

SEVEN PLY TIRE CO., Oral. 11 US E. 39th St,
CHICAGO
Urges Law to Limit
Cotton Acreage of
Farmers in Georgia
Urging the enactment of legisla
tion to limit the planting of cotton
to five acres per plow and to compel
farmers to burn squares and bolls
infested with the boll weevil, Izzie
Bashinski, prominent business man
of Dublin, Ga., has sent a telegram
to J. J. Brown, commissioner of agri
culture, asking him to lay the mat
ter before Governor Dorsey, who is
considering the advisability of call
ing a special session of the general
assembly. Mr. Bashinski requests
that the governor, if he calls an
extra session, include in his call a
demand for the passage of cotton
acreage legislation.
Commissioner Brown, replying to
the telegram, points out that most
of the cotton growing states now
have laws under which a limit
could be placed on cotton acreage
under the quarantine authority. Such
legislation would not only stop boll
weevil ravages, but would tend to
raise the price of cotton* says the
commissioner, who also urges that
banks all over the cotton belt make
reasonable loans to farmers until the
market reaches the level of thirty
seven cents, the figure set by the
government as the estimated cost of
the 1920 crop.
Governor Dorsey has received a.
telegram from Governor John M„
Parker. *of Louisiana, urging that a
proclamation be issued calling on
ginners to close their plants for
