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.

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.

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. 31-Piece Dinner Set Given HFull size dinner china,guaranteed against crazing; pure white color.

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., Five Boys Hurt When Grand Stand Falls In Montgomery, Ala. MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 6.

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.

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.
