NEW YORK, May IS.—The cotton market
showed a generally steady tone during to
day’s early trading. There was some ir
regularity at the start with May opening 5
points lower, as though influenced by the
three or four notices issued, while July
Was unchanged and other months 1 to 2
points higher., Southern wire houses sold a
little cotton at the start, but offerings were
*ery light; the market steadied up after
the call with May advancing to 12.65, July
to 12.08 and October to 13.73, or 7 to 10
points above last night's closing. Private
cables reported a holiday in the market
at Liverpool, and no orders of consequence
' were received from there. Trade interests
were moderate buyers of July and the bal
ance of the demand came from scattering
•ources, being influenced by prospects for
• bullish weekly weather report.
The early advance carried the more active
months about >7 to 10 points above last
night’s closing quotations, but there was
no broadening of demand and the weekly re
port of the weather bureau proved less bull
ish than expected. Prices sagged off in
consequence, with July selling back to 13.95
and October to 13.60. or about 3 to 6 points
net lower, shortly after midday.
The early afternoon reaction extended to
12.86 c for July, or about 15 points net
lower, but the flurry of liquidation then
Subsided and the market showed rallies of
4 or 5 points around 2 o'clock, with trading
quiet.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. May 18.—Better cables
than due and a more cheerful feeling in
private messages from England regarding
prospects of settling the coal strike caused
moderate business in the early trading in
""cotton today. In the first hour of the ses
sion prices improved by 6 points, July ad
vancing to 12.71. "
The cotton exchange announced that, in
response to the proclamation by President
Harding, making Monday, May «0, National
Memorial Day, it would be closed on that
dav and also on Saturday, May 28.
Scattered selling met the initial advance
■nd soon wiped it out. The weekly crop re
ports from the government were not as bad
ns expected, although they still were con
siderable. and this resulted in further sell
ing. There was also an increase of offer
ings following rumors of a battle between
German and Polish forces. At 11 o clock
prices were 13 to 17 points under the close
of yesterday.
In the latter part of the session the mar
ket weakened under selling based on antici
pations of continued favorable weather over
the belt, as indicated in the official fore
cast. and prices fell off to new low levels,
where they sotod. toward the close. 20 to -6
Joints under the close of yesterday, with

RETRACT CHARGES
MADE IN PAMPHLET
(Continued From Page 1)
of a negro by slow fire while a mob
of 3,000 looked on, occurred in Ogle*
thorpe county. That was another
negro burned, not mentioned by me,
but called to the attention of the
public by the senator.
“In neither of ; these cases, men
burning human beings, nor in any
one of the 413 other cases, has a
member of the lynching mob been
punished in Georgia.
“Judge Adams Speaks” \
“Hon. Samuel B. Adams, of Savan
nah, a former member of our su
preme court, in speaking before the
Georgia Bar association in 1916, said:
“ ‘Lawlessness is the crime of
crithes, the evil of evils. Lawless
ness, in its full fruition is anarchy,
and anarchy is the culmination of
all woes, the last possibility of the
powers of darkness.
“ ‘There is one form of lawlessness
in which Georgia has a “bad emi
nence.” I refer to lynching. We
may get along in some fashion, not
withstanding the frequent infractions
of the penal law, but as long as
lynching is common, and is con
demned by the public conscience and
the public sentiment, we are danger
ously near anarchy. Lynching is in
herently (vicious. It strikes at the
foundations of law, government and
society; it “puts the law to open
shame;” it is defiant of all law and
all authority*. ’ Lynchers commit a
greater crime than, their victims, no
matter how great his offense.’
“Women Lynched”
“The published statistics, accepted
generally as reliable, show that last
year there were slxty-nine lynchings
in the United States. Os these lynch
ings, fifty-five were negroes and
fourteen were white people. This is
six' more negroes and eleven more
whites than were put to death by
mobs in 1914. Included in the rec
ord are three women.
“In not less than four cases It
was demonstrated after the lynching,
that the persons put to death were
innocent of the offenses charged.
Eighteen of the lynchings of 1915, or
more than one-fourth of the total
number occurred in the state of
Georgia. The bulk of those unlaw-,
fully put to death were negroes; 1
believe all except one.
“Only 15 per cent of the total num
ber lynched in the- United States
were charged with the unspeakable
cr,ime. A number of the cases in
volved only charges of misdemeanor,
or offenses which at most would be
trifling.
“Suppressing Tacts Mistake”
“All good citizens deplore our dis
graceful record.
“The question as to what is the
remedy is not easily answered. It
certainly does not lie in the denial,
or suppression, or ignoring of the
facts. x .
“Insist that it is the part not only
of honesty, but of wisdom, to look
the facts squarely in the face, im
press all people with their extreme
gravity and the great e;vil to the
state, not only as to its higher in
terests, but also as to its material
and business interests, and a P fer "
sistent, uncompromising effort to
stop the evil.
“It does no good for the newspa
pers to say that we are no worse
than the people of other sections.
This statement is not correct, so far
as this form of lawlessness is con
cerned, because our record is excep
tionally bad, and a Georgian has spe
cial reason to feel humiliated.
“Judiciary Not Attacked”
“Senator Olive says:
“ ‘The governor cannot and win
not name one judge in Georgia, who
is not faithful to his trust.
“Fortunately, a copy of my state
ment has been mailed to every judge
in Georgia. Therefore the judges ot
the state are aware that Senator
Olive has no cause for making such
a* suggestion. But in order that the
public may understand how baseless
that suggestion is. I direct attention
to the fact that Judge Andrew J.
Cobb, another former member of the
supreme court, was one of the thirty
nine gentlemen to whom I submitted
my statement, and Judge Cobb is one
of the thirty-nine who signed the
resolutions indorsing the statement,
and who gave it to the public.
‘Judge Commends Statement’
“How other judges regard it is
shown by a letter from a judge of
the superior court, who says:
“‘I have received the pamphlet,
“As to the Negro in Georgia,” and
desire to thank you most earnestly,
not only for sending me a copy but
for the compiling of the bulletin. It
is very likely that you hav r e stuck
the bow of the ship of state into a
wasp’s nest, and that there will be
more or less buzzing of enraged in
sects for some time to come, but
in the long run much good will have
been accomplished.’
“ ‘I love our southern people, many
of their faults (and I have most of
them) appeal to me. Generally
speaking, they have a. strong reli
gious instinct and inclination to the
high things of life —are generous,
but proud and ‘high-strung.’
“They bitterly resent criticism of
any kind or intimation of failure in
the performance of duty on their
party. They will, however, after the
passing of the storm of bitter de
nials and resentments, proceed to
ook the situation over for the pur
■ ose of ‘ascertaining just how much
ruth there is in the charges.
“In this case they will find much,
and they will in the course of time
n great measure rectify the wrongs
pointed out or complained of. Every
southern man who will face facts
knows that the negro is not treated
with that justice which should char
acterize dealings with this race
of people who are, in a great meas
ure, the wards of the .Caucasian.
Some localities have conditions, much
worse than others, but none are en
tirely free from the taint of wrong
doing.
‘ ‘ It is possible that your in-
I vestigators have made mistakes.
Most certainly they have if you were
■ forced, as doubtless you were, to
use just plfiin human investigators,
I but I know, and every one else
sknows, that the bulk of youii infor
mation is true, and that bitter de
nials, though in a few cases justi
fied, will not serve to impugn your
motives or impair the value of the
dacument as a whole.
“Creeping Lawlessness
“ ‘Several insiduous and deadly
human diseases are referred to as
‘creeping." So this disease of law

For May 22 —Luke 10:38-42; 2:51-52; 2 Tim. 3:14-15
* BY DR. MARION M’H. HULL
Golden Text: “Children, obey your
parents in all things, for this is well
pleasing in the Lord. Father, provoke
not your children, that they be not
discouraged.” XJor. 3:20-21.
The word “home” comes from an
old word that originally signified a
village, and its progenitor is pre
served for us today in the diminutive
“hamlet” and as a suffix, as in “Bir
mingham,” “Nottingham,” etc. From
that the idea was made more definite
as the place in the village of “home,”
where any particular individual
lived. It is worthy of note, however,
that there is no word for home in
any language where Christianity has
not had some influence.
For “home” is not just the place
where a particular individual lives.
Such a place may be the place where
you live and yet not be “home.” It
may be a very fine house, magnifi
cent in construction and Jn its fur
nishings and yet not be" home. It
may be a very tumbled-down old
shack and painfully devoid of com
forts, yes, even of and
yet be home. Yet some very magnifi
cent houses are homes, and some
very dilapidated ones are hovels. It
is not a question of material things.
Money, or what it can buy, can’t
make a home; nor can the lack of it
prevent a home from being made.
Homes are not made by material
things, but by the subtle influences
of that which is of the spirit. Home
is where love is. ♦
What Home Is
That is the first essential qualifi
cation for any home. It may be a
hovel or a mansion, or any of the
intermediate degrees—but love must
be there to make it a home, and love
will make any place anywhere a
home. When love goes out the door
• —love between husband and wife,
between parent and child, between
brothers and sisters —then home ber
comes the house where you eat and
sleep, and may be nothing short of
hell. . .
Joy enters into the making of a
home. The best time a fellow ever
has is at' home when it is really
home. Oh, yes, there’s lots of pleas
ure .to be had elsewhere, too, but it
Will be more fun at home if it’s
really a home. In these latter days
parents are not doing as much as
parents formerly did to make home
a place of joy.
Peace is an essential to honre. A
nagging wife and an irritable hus
band are home-breakers, not home
makers.
Longsuffering—yes, it is as hard
for you to get along with some folks
as it is for some folks to get along
with you; but in a real home long
suffering is the characteristic if it is
necessary.
Gentleness enters into home-mak
ing. A gentle-man and a gentle
woman jire the products of a real
home, and are not necessarily de
pendent on a pedigree that would
pass muster in a patriotic society of
the blue bloods. It does not speak
very well for the modern “home”
that the tribe of gentlewomen nad
gentlemen is on the decrease.
Goodness is a ' part of the real
home, and its twin sister faith.
There must be implicit confidence
between the individual members, and
this is impossible unless character
is a “creeping” social disease. It
starts with insignificant and seem
ingly unimportant sysptoms. The
denial of justice in a few small
things and the commission of wrongs
against them which do not amount
to much within themselves, but the
last stage of the creeping malady
may bring the sufferer to the Jasper
county farm and in proximity to the
chained bodies of Yellow river. I
am not sufficiently informed to place
the blame on any particular officer
or individual.
“ ‘Far be it from me to state that
any judge or other officer of this
state has connived or winked at or
actually engaged in the commission
of any overt act of injustice to any
negro. What I do mean to say is
that few, of any of us, have by
word and act done our full duty as
officers and law abiding citizens at
all times and under all circumstances.
We may be accessories before the
fact to acts of injustice and
wrongs through indifference or omis
sions. If I 'am not mistaken a large
dose of the sunshine and fresh air
of publicity, such as you are pre
scribing, will do much to restrict
the spread of, if it does not entirely
eradicate, the malady.’
•‘When they have thought the mat
ter through, ninety-five per cent of
the people of Georgia will, I believe,
concur in the judge’s conclusions,
because ninety-five per cent of the
people of our state are law-abiding
and humane. The same thought
caused caused me to lay these 135
cases before the group of thoughtful
people whom I ask to come from
different parts of the state to ad
vise with me.
“A Futile Effort
“The futility of trying to make it
appear that the statement is an ex
aggeration is apparent from the fact
that only five cases of lynching are
included in the 135 cases mentioned,
when 415'negroes have been lynched
n Georgia since 1885, and no lyncher
as yet been punished.
“Eliminate one. a dozen, or more
of the cases mentioned by me, and
the sum total remaining appalls,
when it is recalled that these cases
haves not been collected by agents or
busybodies, but have come ?to me
wholly unsolicited from people who
have believed that I, as governor,
could give relief.
“Senator Olive charges that my
reference to peonage is endangering
labor conditions and adding to the
difficulties of our already overbur
dened farmers.
“Next to my desire to purge Geor
gia of this insufferable blot and to
protect a helpless people who are
asking only for justice and mercy,
the chief incentive causing me co
place these facts before the people
of Georgia was the number of farms
in our state from which the negroes
have been driven by terror, leaving
the farmers helpless to plant or
handle their crops.
“While I mentioned only twenty
cases of possible peonage, I cited
110 cases of organized lawlessness
and specific acts of cruelty not only
calculated to run negroes away, but
in cases actually causing them to flee
in terror for their lives, leaving their
rather than reputation is the basis
of it.
Out of this will grow meekness,
for each will get a'just estimate of
his or her own worth and n<M es
teem self more highly than is due.
And to this end self-control will
play its part.
These then are the things—not
material things—that make the place
you live in home —love, joy, peace,
Ing-suffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith, meekness, self-control. But
this is the fruit of the spirit of
God.
The Christian Home
Thereforie. there can be no real
home that is not a Christian home.
Solomon spoke of man’s going to his
long home (Eccl. 12:15). and Paul
spoke of being at home with the
Lord (2 Cor. 5:6, 8). Heaven is our
home, and we may have heaven
here as well as hereafter if the
fruit of the spirit is completely de
veloped. To the extent that it is
blighted, the house you live in fails
to be your home.
If yours is a Christian .home, or
if you want it to be a Christian
home, these are some of the means
that must be employed to nurture
the plant so that the fruit of the
spirit may develop.
1. Christ must be the head of the'
house, Jthe splent listener to every
conversation. Thanks will be offered
to Him for the supply of your meals
three times a day.
The day ’ will be begun by the
family gathering about the altar to
seek His guidance, and blessing pro
tection and provision during the dav.
The loved ones will be committed
to His care, and together His bless
ing will be sought for the world’s
need and His kingdom establish
ment.
2. The study of His word will be
encouraged. And no beter way can
this be accomplished than bv your
example. A portion of each day set
aside for that by every member of
the family will be productive of such
results that there is no way of
measuring them.
3. Then the heads of the family
will do everything in their power
to make the hours at home the
pleasantest of the day. The children
will be obedient to their parents be
cause this is well-pleasing to the
Lord. The fathers will not provoke
their children that they be not dis
couraged. The wives will be in sub
jection to their husbands, and the
husbands will love their wives even
as Christ loved the church —to the
point of giving their lives if neces
sary. Servants will do their work as
unto the Lord, and their masters
will recognize that they also have a
Master to whom they must report.
Are there any such homes? Is
there a Christian home in existence
today? Do the children obey? Do
not the fathers provoke? Are the
wives in subjection? Has the serv
ant and master problem found its
solution? Are the children taught
the Scriptures as Lois and Eunice
taught young Trinoetry? Aren’t a
good many mothers as fretful as
Martha was the day she had Jesus
to lunch?
Oh! yes, "there are many Christian
homes: but we must have many
more. What. about yours?
landlords of employers withoiM la
bor. I cited two counties in which
not a single negro remains.
“As stated by Senator Olive, 80 per
cent of the population of Georgia
live in rural communities, and the
basis of the wealth of our state is
agriculture. If the farmer cannot
get and keep labor, there can be no
progress for our state. Experience
has demonstrated that if the small
percentage of lawless people in Geor
gia are permitted to run thb negro
away by senseless cruelty, they will
do so. The time has come for the
law-abiding ' among us, who consti
tute the overwhelming majority, to
put a stop to their practices.
“Spreading Evil”
“The letter quoted above calls at
tention to the creeping nature of this
lawlessness. Two of the cases cited
by me show that already it has
spread from threatening the negro
on the farm. One was an instance of
interference with railroad construc
tion because negroes were employed.
The other was an atetmpt to dyna
mite labor quarters in a lumber camp
because negroes were there.
“Such conditions cannot continue.
And I cannot but believe that upon
reflection, men such as Senator
Olive and my successor in office,
Governor-elect Hardwick, will see the
wisdom of dealing with this situa
tion in away to remedy conditions
along the lines suggested by me.
“An attack such as that made by
Judge W. H. H. Searcy serves only
to illustrate the difficulties of the
problem. That attack vividly shows
one of the causes for the contempt
for law and order upon the part of
the few in Georgia. Such language
on the part of a judge of the superior
court directed toward a governor
of Georgia can only encourage that
class, and cause regret to those who
believe in judicial calm and dignity
upon the bench.
“Such actions upon the rart of
the judge only strengthen my origi
nal conclusions with reference to
the unfortunate instance described
as casts 121 tq 123 county No. 21
and confirm the wisdom of my
course in withholding the names of
the citizens who gave the facts, as
they believed them, to the inves
tigator who reported to me.
“The publicity which has come
to that county and to Judge
court was caused by himself and not
by me. It is regretted, not because
of the judge, but because as 1 said
in my original statement: T have
(Withheld the names of counties and
individuals, because I do not de
sire to give harmful publicity to
these counties, when I am convinced
that, even in the counties where
these outrages ar said to have oc
curred, the better element in these
counties and the whole state, who
constitute the majority of our peo
ple. will condemn such conditions
and take the steps necessary to
correct them, when they see and
realize the staggering sum total of"
such cases, which, while seemingly
confined to a small minority of our
counties, yet bring disgrace and ob
laquy ui?on the state as a whole,

ture, is as false as it can be and
they know it, or could know it if
they wanted to.
“We are glad to co-operate with
Dr. Soule, the college of agriculture,
the extension department, county and
home economic agents in developing
all problems affecting rural develop
ment, including the home, farms,
farm life, schools, churches and
other seocial developments.
“In this work we are glad to
counsel with and advice from Dr.
Soule and the good people working
with him, but at no time has he or
they attempted to direct or shape the
policies of the organization, ' nor
would they be permitted to do so by
the advisory board were they to
make the attempt; and the state de
partment of agriculture could and
would have had our co-operation and
support along intelligent, progressive
and helpful lines affecting agricul
ture, had we been permitted. But
rather the commissioner of agricul
ture and his associates have in ev
ery way possible tried to cripple ana
hinder our wor kand the work of
the college of argiculture by innuen
does and misrepresentation through
out the state and at Washington.
“In Washington where they sent
Mr. Jackson to prosecute false
charges against the college and the
farm bureau before the banking and
finance committee, where he dis
played dense ignorance as to the
real facts and in all his evidence
showed hatred and malice toward
the college and farm bureau.
Measure For Economy. .
"He got no where with it except
to show his ignorance and malice. I
have a printed of his tes
timony before the committee on
my desk and in his ignorance and
self-importance, he used the. name
of a negro county agent to show
the activities of county agents and
Farm Bureau federation, insulting
the intelligence of practically 20,000
men and women belonging to th?
far mbureau, all of whom are
and if Mr. Brown and Mr. Jackson
carry the same amount of ignorance
and malice into their official work,
it is no wonder that they have not
accomplished more for the state
than they have.
“The sole purpose of thj resolu
tion by the farm bureau is to save
the state and the tax payers of
Georgia money and lessen their tax
burden as much as possible without
injury to the efficiency of the
service and protection to the peo
ple. We maintain that the present
force of trained and efficient work
ers now in the field supported by
state and national funds, can do the
work without additional costs,
thereby saving the tax payers ap
proximately $200,000 annually with
out lessening the efficiency of the
service rendered by the bufeau of
markets and the oil Inspection serv
ice.
“This college was doing active
and constructive marketing service
before the creation of the present
market bureau, and now has five ex
perts working throughout the state
educating the farmers in practical
marketing. When this resolution
was passed by the advisory board.
Dr. Soule was neither consulted or
advised with and had no knoxzledge
of its being considered an 1 knew
nothing about it until he saw it iiF
the papers; and we do not know now
whether he approves it or not. This
statement is made to show the fal
sity of Jackson’s and Brown’s
charge and in justice to Dr. Soule.”

a stop to evils, which even those
who question the wisdom of the

BURGLAR FALLS VICTIM
TO DEADLY MAN-TRAP
NYACK, N. Y.—A burglar sprang
a man trap on" thq; estate of Adolph
Zukor, ten miles west of here, and
was killed by the resulting discharge
of a shotgun. State troopers are
stalking his accomplice, believed to
have been wounded by the same
charge, in woods north of the estate,
and every door and window of the
two huge bungalows which consti
tute the motion picture magnate’s
summer home is guarded by a deadly
spring gun.
Edward Coates, of Haverstraw, the
man who was killed, was an ex-con
vict, haying served a year in Sing
Sing for burglary, according to Dis
trict Attorney Mortimer Lexow. He
also had served a shorter term in the
county jail at New City. A revolver
of the largest caliber, fully loaded,
and a cartridge belt with every loop
filled were taken from his body. It
is believed that his companion is
equally armed.
Coates met his death in the third
raid which burglars have made upon
one of the bungalows on the Zukor
estate in the last ten days. The trap
which killed him was designed by
Patrick R. Murphy, superintendent of
-the estate and responsible, in the ab
sence of Mr. Zukor in Europe, for the

It consists of a short-barreled, 12-
gauge shotgun, bolted to the side of
a packing case, which is mounted on
small wheels or castors, to give the
contrivance mobility. When set, the
gun carriage is fastened firmly to the
wall, about ten feet in front of the
door, the opening of which is to
spring the trap.
A seventeen-inch steel spring is
fastened to the trigger of the gun and
to the spring is tied a stout line
which runs to a pulley in the ceiling
at an angle of about forty degrees.
From the first ceiling pulley the line
runs about ten feet to another, also
set in the ceiling, from which it drops
perpendicularly to a pulley set in the
floor.
From the floor pulley the line goes
direct to the knob of the door to
which it is made fast. The tension
of the spring is such that an intruder
may pull the door open to the width
of a foot before the tension is com
municated io the trigger. Thus Mur
phy made sure that the door would
be fully open and not in any way
shielding the target when the gun
was discharged. He meant business
