NEW YORK. Nov. S. —The cotton mar
ket showed weakness early today owing
to lower cables, further declines in foreign
exchange rates and liberal ginning figu.es.
First prices were unchanged to 29 points
lower and active months sold about 28 to 38
points below Saturday’s closing figures dur
ing the early trading with December sell
ing at 18.85 and January at 18.35. Offer
ings were more or less general, including
selling for southern account, but there was
trade buying on the decline which helped
to steady prices and caused rallies of sev
eral points from the lowest before the end
of tlte first hour.
Prospects for wet weather in the south
and liberal exports for the day increased
the disposition to take profits on short con
tracts end the market was firmer later. De
cember sold up to 19.30 and January to
18.93 or about 12 to 28 points net higher and
40 to 45 points above the early low level.
There was buying for a reaction and a scat
tering trade demand, but business became
less active around midday and the rallie:
were not fully maintained although south
ern selling was much less in evidence aftei
the first half hour.
The rally extended to 19.48 c for December
and 19.06 c for January during the early
afternoon,/making advances of about 30 to
40 points on the more active positions. Tbe
smaller volume of southern selling evidently
promoted covering and there was scattered
buying based on the stronger technical posi
tion.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. B.—Larger gin
ning returns than expected, 7,471,000 bales,
to the first of November, according to the
census bureau, caused a lower market in
cotton todaj’, prices dropping 23 to 47 points
in the first hour of business. December
fell to 17.90. The decline was checked by
the large exports from Galve
day, 48,874 bales cleaering there for foreign
ports,
Traders on the short side became nervous
aver the forecast of unsettled to showery
weather for the belt and a widespread cover
ing movement set in which, in the trading
up to 11 o’clock, put prices 8 to 31 points
n ver the level of Saturday’s close, December
reacted to 18.45.
The large export movement for the day
attracted much attention and increased the
demand with the result that the market
was swept bare of offerings in short order.
Prices rose to levels 2 Bto 40 points over
the finals of Saturday with December up
to 18.65 and May at 17.94. Total foreign
shipments from all ports were 52,226 bales,
as against 21,807 this day last year; mar
ket closed firm at net advances of 27 to
35 points.

CHICAGO, Nov. B.—Sharp new setbacks
in the price of wheat today accompanied
demoralization of foreign exchange. Initial
prices, which ranged from 1c to low
er, were followed by material further de
clines and then something of a reaction.
Wheat closed unsettled, 4%c to 6c net
lower.
Evening up to prepare for the government
report gave comparative firmness to corn.
Corn closed firm, % to % net higher.
Oats were governed by the action of corn,
starting unchanged to lower.
Lower, quotations on hogs weakened pro
visions. Trade was light.

Bartlett, Frazier & Co.: Speculative senti

of the corn market is heavy.
Harris, Winthrop & Co.: We believe wheat
prices are headed for a permanently lower
ievel.
Hulburd, Warren & Co.: We do not think
wheat will suffer a further material de

to some extent with weakness in the wheat

SHEPARD & GLUCK COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. B.—Larger ginning
returns than expected caused a lower cotton
market in the early trading today but realiz
ing by shorts and a good volume of buying
for long accounts afterward caused rpa< -
tions to higher levels. Slumps in foreign
exchange an.d tnlk of poor general trade in
creaased the early pressure against the mai
ket. Exports continue large, the total from
all ports today being 52,226 bales against
21.807 this day last year. Europe is buying
more cotton in the south than most people
are aware of and we think the market is a
purchase on all decline because of this
quiet demand.
The ginning figures today of 7.471,352
bales turned out to the first of November
compared with 6,305,054 to the same date
VITAL ORGANS OF
MR. F. D. SHEPARD
EXAMINED HERE
FORT VALLEY, Ga„ Nov. B.—The
viscera of Mr. Fred D. Shepard, whose
death on June 2 is under investiga
tion as the result of an order by
Superior Court Judge Mathews, was
taken Sunday to Atlanta by Dr. M.
Si Brown for analysis by Dr. Aber
crombie, state chemist. The analy
sis, it was said, was to be made
for the purpose of determining
whether Mr. Shepard’s death result
ed from poison.
The body was exhumed and re
buried Saturday after the vital or
gans had been removed, and the
armed guard which had been on duty
at the grave since the court order
was issued earlier in the week was
removed.
Solicitor General Charles H. Gar
rett stated Jast night that Dr. Aber
crombie would be the most impor
tant witness before the coronor’s
jury when it reassembles November
12. The solicitor stated that the
laws of Georgia do not permit em
balmers to use embalming fluid that
contains arsenic or mercury.
Dr. Brown testified before the cor
onor’s jury that the symptoms of
Mr. Shepard’s illness when he was
called in indicated arsenic or mer
curial poisoning and at the opera
tion performed in a Macon hospital,
he said, black spots were found on
the intestines of the patient.
Solicitor Garrett asserted that the
autopsy confirmed the statements of
Dr; Brown as to the condition of the
body.
The appearapce of a will, mailed
anonymously to Mrs. Alice Cran
dall, Mr. Shepard’s sister, about two
weeks ago, lead to the investigation
of Air. Shepard’s death.
At the time of his death, his w’ife
took charge of the estate. The will
gives her SIO,OOO and SIOO a montil
during her life time, and takes away
a large portion of the estate which
she claimed.
Mrs. Shepard married Mr. Shepard
in December of last year. Six weeks
after her husband’s death she mar
ried Dr. F. E. Elmer, of Jackson
ville, Fla.
The case will be taken up again
Friday when a coroner’s jury will
again pit at .Fort Valley to. hear fur
ther testimony. At this hearing, the
state chemist is expected to be one
of the principal witnesses, testifying
as to whether the vital organs tak
en from Mr. Shepard’s body show in
dications of poisoning.
In order that there may be no mis
take rru de in the analysis on account
of the presence oi 4 embalming fluid,
Solicitor General Charles H. Garrett
obtained the formula of the fluid
used in the preparation of Mr. Shep
ard’s body for burial and forwarded
it with the vital organs to the state
chemist. Georgia laws governing em
balming do not permit the use of ei
ther arsenic or mercury in embalm
ing, it was said, and it was these
kinds of poison i which Dr. Brown
and Di. W. L. Orr testified Saturday
might produce symp’oms which char
acterized Mr Shepard’s illness,
WEEK IS REQUIRED TO
COMPLETE EXAMINATION
Dr. Edgar Everhart, chemist in
the state geological department, Mon
day began an examination of the
vital organs of Mr. Fred D. Shepard,
Fort Valley capitalist, whose death
is now being inquired into at the
instance superior court of
ficials. will require
about one week for completion.
“SCRAPPING” LEAGUE
WOULD BE FATAL,
ROOT TELLS HARDING
(Continued From Page 1)
cial questions” should be obligatory,
Mr. Root wrote that the United
States ought to be willing so far as
questions were concerned to stand
“precisely on the same footing as
other nations” but that “with re
gard to questions of policy, some dif-*
ficult considerations are apparent.”
He added, however:
“The great and essential thing
about the plan contained in the cove
nant of the League of Nations is
that it makes international confer
ences on political questions compul
sory in times of danger; that it
brings together such conferences
upon the call of officers who repre
sent all the powers and it
practically impossible for any na
tion to keep out of them.”
Structural Worth Preserving
Mr. Root praised the scheme for
international conference but pointed
out some of its serious defects. The
important thing, however, is that Mr.
Root cabled Senator Harding from
London after a personal observation
of European affairs that the struc
ture of the present treaty and the
league was worth preserving and was
by no means dead.
Some people will profess to see a
clear break between Senator Harding
and Mr. Root. Others are confident
that Senator Harding will do the
right thing •when he calls a confer
ence of the statesmen of America
and that the value of Mr. Root’s
judgment then will be fully tested.
The Root cablegram, which it is only
fair to say he did not give out for
publication, is the deliberate judg
ment of a man who was secretary of
state under President Roosevelt and
the American representative at the
second Hague conference.
In Marion, however, there is a dis
position to look upon Mr. Root as
having advanced to such an old age
as to be out of tune with the spirit
of the last election result and as
having such affiliations with the in
ternational banking groups as to
make his advice of doubtful value.
Those are the two views and when
President-elect Harding returns to
his home it will become apparent ex
actly how much Elihu Root’s advice
will be taken on matters of foreign
| policy.

GEORGIA MOIOITE,
DEFEATEDBYWOMAN.
CONTESTSJLECTION
Whether a woman is eligible to
hold public office in Georgia is .the
very interesting and important ques
tion raised by a contest of the elec
tion of Mrs. Overton McDaniel as
tax collector of Columbia county.
J. C. Grubbs, who was defeated by
Mrs. McDaniel in the general elec
tion last Tuesday, filed notice of the
contest with the governor on Mon?
day. He questions Mrs. McDaniel’s
right to the office on the, ground’ that
women have not yet made eligi
ble, by legislative enactment, to hold
public office in Georgia, even though
they have been enfranchised as
voters by the suffrage amendment to
the federal constitution. The merits
of the contest will be tried out in
the superior court of Columbia coun
ty, In all probability the case will
go to the state supreme court, if not
higher, regardless of the outcome in
the superior court.
After the Democratic state primary
and before the general state election,
Mr. Overton McDaniel, tax collector
of Columbia county, died. His wife
had assisted him in handling the
business of his office. The ordinary
wished to appoint her to fill his un
exxpired term, and she had the sup
port of numerous citizens-.' The ordi
nary asked Governor Dorsey if she
were eligible. He passed the ques
tion to Attorney General Denny,
who ruled that she was. Accord
ingly she was appointed to fill the
unexpired term, which ends the first
of January. , -
Meanwhile, the general election
was held, and under the law it was
necessary to choose in this election
a tax collector for the full term. Mrs.
McDaniel was a candidate and w r as
opposed by J. C. Grubbs, whom she
defeated, and who is now' contesting
her eligibility as stated above.
C. E. Bethel, defeated candidate
for clerk of the superiox- court in
Upson county, on Monday filed notice
with the governor that he -will con
test the' election. He did not give
the name of his successful opponent
or the grounds of the contest.
Two of the defeated Republican
candidates for congressmen have filed
notices with the governor that they
will contest the election. They are
John W-. Martin, who was defeated in
the Fifth district by Congressman
VV. D. Upshaw, the Democratic nom
inee, and O. L. Barnwell, of Norcross,
who was defeated in the Ninth dis
trict by Congressman Thomas M.
Bell, the Democratic nominee.
Mr. Martin’s contest will be based
upon the ground of “irregularities
and illegalities.” Mr. Barnwell’s
contest, it is understood, will be
based upon the ground of “irregulari
ties and fraud.” These contests will
be tried out before a committee of
the national house of representa
tives. E. S. Fuller, defeated Repub
lican candidate in the First district
against Congressman J. W. Over
street, the Democratic nominee, has
announced in Savannah that he will
file a contest, but his formal notice
has not been received in the gover
nor’s office.
The specific grounds of these con
tests will be developed before the
congressional committee.,

HARDING GIVEN
BIG WELCOME IN
LONE STAR STATE
POINT ISABEL. Tex., Nov. B.
After forty-eight hours’ continuous
travel. President-elect Warren G.
Harding reached Point Isabel, Tex.,
today, where he will spend ten days
fishing and golfing. His special train
arrived at Brownsville at 11:30
a, There the party took au
tomobiles for the 20-mile ride to
Point Isabel, on Laguna de La Hadre,
an inlet of Gulf of- Mexico. Politics,
Office seekers and all weighty mat
ters will be taboo. Senator Harding
has carefully refrained from invit
ing any one to Point Isabel, other
than those in his immediate per
sona! party. A guard of secret serv
ice men is on hand to resrain anyone
whose enthusiasm leads him too
close to the president-elect.
Senator, Harding’s daily program
will be fishing half of each day and
golfing the other half.
Despite his effort to avoid speeches
en route, he has made a dozen al
ready, Several thousand people at
Poplar Bluffs, Mo., got him out at
10:30 a. m. Sunday for a short talk.
It . was difficult for Senator Hard
ing to keep within the Sabbath
proprieties, so insistent were the
Texas throngs at every station. Many
apparently motored long distances,
for parked around each railroad sta
tion were dozens of automobiles cov
ered with the bright red clay of
eastern Texas.
At one stop Senator Harding bought
a pencil of a blind peddler. He and
Mrs. Harding also rode in the engine
cab for half an hour. Everywhere
they were given warm receptions
which recalled the campaign trips
of a few weeks ago.
NEW YORK, Nov. B.—(By the As
sociated Press.)’- — President-elect
Harding will sail from New Orleans
November 8 for the canal zone, on
board a United Fruit steamer, it
was learned here today. Returning,
he will be landed at Norfolk, De
cembfer 4.
Use of His Bath Tub
Is Given by Woman as
Reason for Marriage
BOSTON, Nov. 6. —Mrs. Josephine
ebber, asking for a separation, ex
plained the reason she married Web
ber was to .get the use of his bath
tub.
She testified before Judge Grant
that before she, was married she was
ill and her physician ordered her to
take hot baths. Her bath tub was
out of order, she said, and Webber’s
tub was in perfect condition.
The judge held the evidence was
insufficient; fpr a separation, and that
the real trouble was Incompatibility.

Rain Falls Two Weeks
On Twenty-Foot Plot
CENTRAL. W. Va.—-M. S. Hile
man, who owns a Ititle farm near
the Briscoe Run church, may make
a fortune from rainfall if the tiny
drops, which have been falling con
tinuously on a small plot in his gar
den, continue. He r' es 25 cents
each for the curious ones to witness
this constant rainfall, and has had
as high as 600 visitors in one day.
The light rainfall has continued
for more than two weeks In an area
of about twenty feet square. The
drops may be fetl on the naked
hand or face, but at no time is the
precipitation sufficient to moisten
the earth. It is not mist, but tiny
drops which can be seen distinctly
Numerous conjectures have been
made as to the reason for this un
usual sight, and a meteorologist is
expected to make an investigation
soon. One theory is that the damp
sand, which constitutes part of the
farm, retains its moisture and on
account of the hot weather the mois
ture rises ,nto the air where it is
condensed and then falls to the
earth.
But in the meantime, Mr. Hile
man’s son is stationed at the gate
and collects 25 cents from each per
son who desires to witness this
freak of nature.
