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.

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.

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. Sylvia Pankhurst Gets 6 Months for Sedition LONDON, Oct. 28.—Sylvia Pank hurst, who was arrested on October 19 charged with attempting to cause sedition in the navy by editing and publishing an issue of the newspa per, the Workers’ Dreadnought, on October 1, was sentenced today to six months’ imprisonment on con viction of the offense. 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.

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.

Mr. Walker’s total expenditures in the first campaign were $8,323, or more than SI,OOO less than his ex penditures in the second campaign. His totil expenditures in the two campaigns were $17,962, of which a total of $14,492 was contributed by his friends. The total expenditures of Mr. Hardwick in the two campaigns, ac cording to his sworn statement filed some days ago. were $15,813, which was about $2,000 less than the total expended by Mr. Walker. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30. 1920. 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.” /'vN\Hereis the greatest tire / vlWi \offer ever made.

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.
