GRAIN
NEW YOKE, June I.—The cotton mar
ket was comparatively quiet and rather ir
regular during today’s early trading. An
other private crop report was published
placing the condition at 65.1 and the re
duction in acreage a little over 30 per
cent with an indicated yield of 7,500.000 '
bales. There were also complaints from I
Memphis that the crop was beginning to
need rain in some sections and reports of
boll weevil damage from Georgia, but these |
advices failed to create any general buy
,nK - f o
After opening steady at a decline of 3
points to an advance of 1 point, active
months sold some 4 to 5 points below last
week’s closing. The south was the chief
seller on the decline to 12.SSc for July and
13.65 c for October.
The report of a local authority making
tbe condition 68.8 with a reduction of 27.9
per cent in acreage and suggested crop of
6.000.000 bales, was less bullish than the
average of recent figures. This probably
helped to check fresh buying and the ac
tion of the market suggested that low end
May condition figures had been pretty well
tescribed. Prices eased off in consequence
is a result of scattering liquidation and
jouthern selling, with October selling down
io 13.55 or 14 points net lower. The weekly
report of the weather bureau was consid
ered favorable and prices were at about
lhe lowest point shortly after midday.
No fresh feature developed during the mid
lie of the afternoon and trading remained
tuiet with October ruling around 13.57 and
July 12.80, or 12 to 13 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS. June I.—After ad.
’ances of 2 to 3 points on the opening call
oday the cotton market fell off for small
inclines and at the end of the first hour of
insiness stood 8 to 9 points under the close
»f yesterday, under selling stimulated by
favorable weather conditions over the belt.
July traded up to 12.50 c and then fell off
to 12.39 c.
The weekly crop reports from the govern
rnent were somewhat better than expected
' and selling increased. Offerings were also
stimulated by reports of a cotton mill strike
in sections of the Atlantics. In tbe trad
ing up to 11 o’clock Jttly dropped to 12.31
and prices went 16 to 18 points under tbe
finals of yesterday.
The late trading bdought scattered selling,
bnt the market plaimy was supported by
expectations of an unfavorable report on con
dition tomorrow. The consensus of opinion
appeared to be that the figures would conic
in around 65 to 66 per cent ol normal. To
ward the close prices were at net losses of
17 to 20 points with July at 12.30.

Florida Senators
Provide Serum to
Prevent Hog Cholera
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., May 31.
Discovery that killing the appropri
ation for the livestock sanitary
board would stop all work to pre
vent disease among swine, the senate,
on motion of Senator Weaver, Tues
day morning, passed a bill allowing
the board to buy and distribute at i
cost hog cholera serum and virus, i
It is now planned to take up the |
house bill which the senate killed i
Saturday and pass a re-written bill I
to carry on their work. The original
bill carried an appropriation of $150,-
000 for the two-year period, while
the new one will carry but $120,000.
The senate Tuesday morning
heard a communication from the lo
cal pastors urging the passage of
the Raborn eugenics bill. The
preachers pointed out that the pro
vision of the bill forbidding marriage
of persons with social disease or
tuberculosis, if enforced, would pre
vent many unhappy marriages, say
ing t.his was a fact that had come
under their own knowledge. The bill
was put through the house by Dr. Ra
born and ft now before the senate.
The senate Tuesday adopted the
Stuart county officers’ salary bill by
vote of 17 to 14, in spite of the vig
orous lobby kept up against the bill.
It has been agreed that much whisky
has been used in influencing mem
bers in the matter. The bill as
amended in the senate permits coun
ty officers to take all the net pro
ceeds of their ojee up to $5,000.
After that they take a graded
percentage of the fees, but no officer
except in counties of more than 100,-
900 people, shall get more than $6,-
000.
Duval is the only county affected
by the exception and its officers may
have as much as $7,500 if they earn
it.
The Carlton law passed two years
ago was declared unconstitutional
and the Stuart-Taylor bill is an ef
fort to remedy that situation.
This was monument day in the
senate. Bills for four having passed.
'They are: Olustee battlefield, $5,000;
battle of Natural bridge, $5,000;
memorial to General Loring at St,
Augustine, $2,200. Monument to
mark site of first constitutional con
vention at old Port St. Joe, SIO,OOO.
The three U. D. C. appropriations
were set apart for a special order
under the same understanding though
ator Wells succeeded in having his
proposition for the monument to the
constitutional convention taken up
under the same understandig though
there is nothing of a war memorial
nature about it.
Alleged Slayer of

from LaFayette, Ga., that James
Douglas, charged with the murder

Fate of Foundered
Ship’s Crew Undecided
HALIFAX, Nova Scotia. May 31.
The fate of the captain and crew of
the Gloucester schooner Esperanto,
winner of the international fisher
men’s race last fall, which foundered
yesterday off Sable Island, was ’eft
still more in doubt todav after re
ceipt here .of a message “ from the
Sable Island station pf the marine
and fisheries department.
An inquiry as to whether Captain
Alden Geel, of Elsie 11. who had
found Esperanto sunk to her cross
trees, had rescued Captain Thomas
Benham and his crew of twenty-two,
brought this reply from Acting' Su
perintendent Naugle: “Captain Geel
was gone when life boat arrived. No
signs of life.”
May Wheat Jumps
121-2 Cents a Bushel
On Shorts’ Demand
CHICAGO. May 31. —Wheat for
May delivery made a sensational up
ward swing in price today as a re
sult of demand for shorts who had
waited until the last of the month be
fore fulfilling contracts. Little was
for sale and the market ran up 12 1-2
cents a bushel to $1.82 as compared
with Saturday’s finish.
Except in the May delivery of
wheat, prices although firm, kept
within moderate limits. Huge re
ceipts of all kinds of grain here to
day operated as a counterbalance
against the bullish effect of the un
usual upturn in the price of May
wheat. About 2,400 carloads of grain
arrived, including 450 cars of wheat.

SABBATH SCHOOL LESSON
For June s—Psa. 33: 12, Rom. 13: 1-10
BY DR. MARION M’H. HULL
Golden Text— “ Righteousness ex
alleth a nation, but sin is a reproach
to any people.” Prov. 14:34.
Just because all of our presidents
and governors have been inaugurated
with their hands on the Bible does
not make this nation a Christian na
tion. How can it be or become a
Christian when its youths are grow
ing up in total ignorance of the Word
of God, the Bible having been prac
tically excluded from the majority
of its schools?
. The Psalmist wrote: “Blessed is
the nation whose God is Jehovah; the
people whom He hath chosen for His
own inheritance.” But he was re
ferring to Israel, and does not refer
to any other nation. We Americans
like to speak of our nation as God’s
chosen people for this time; but there
is not scriptural ground for such
presumption and pride. It is true
that God has greatly blessed us as a
nation and given us wonderful op
portunities for service, but as a na
tion, we are only nominally Chris
tian, if we can dare make iven that
large a claim. And increasingly there
are coming to light the end results
of our policy in the past of receiving
with open arms those whose ideas
have been entirely and fundamentally
different from those of our earliest
ancestors, so that the whole tone of
the nation is being changed. We put
on our coins “In God we trust,” but
practically our whole effort is to get
hold of so much of the coin that we
shall be endpendent of God.
On the other hand, there are an
increasing number of people who re
alize that "righteousness exalleth a
nation,” and are bending their efforts
to bring to pass the condition when
righteousness shall characterize the
laws and the relationships of the peo
ple of this country.
We found last week, though, that
the only way to make a community
Christian was through individual ef
fort for individuals; and this is true
with reference to the larger commun
ities of the nation and the world.
Even the most saneuine of those
who seek to accomplish a result by
mass movement rather than by the
one-by-one method see in the na
tional effort an almost hopeless task,
or rather, they hope for only relative
success.
Os course, if everybody in these
United States should live by the
principles laid down in Rom. 13,
there would be no necessity for of
ficers to enforce the law nor for
courts, civil or criminal. If every
body respected the law, and paid
taxes in full, and respected every
other man, both his person and his
property, and loved him as he loves
himself, we would have,, not only
Utopia,' but the Kingdom of God!
But these injunctions of Rom. 13
follow, rather than precede. Rom. 12.
It is no.use to tell a man to do these
things who has not first presented
his body as a living sacrifice, be
cause of the mercies of God, to
prove the will of God for himself
good and perfect. After he has
thus yielded himself to God, it is
only necessary to suggest these re
lationships to his fellowmen and
his government as the will of God
for him, and he seeks to sustain
them. The method of making the
nation Christian then is individual
work for individuals. It might give
Ford’s weekly heart failure to hear
it, but this nation will never be
Christian until a Jew is the abso-
REVIVAL OF TRADE
IN EUROPE SEEN BY
EX-SENATOR SMITH
(Continued From Page 1)
cheered when he demanded a modified
participation in foreign affairs by
the United States. The senator, de
claring the cotton business is not
a local matter, but a national affair,
asserted European trade is necessary
to stabilize it.
“It’s unfortunate that our voice
is not heard more in Europe,” he de
clared.
American advice and help, he said,
would dispose of a lot of questions
and would end the “folly of little
nations created by the war.” America
could throw her influences against
the “pestiferous scrapping” of the
little nations, he said.
Close associations with foreign na
tions, “without being bound to fight
and finance,” would help restore the
world, he said.
Restoration of the normal cur
rents of trade is essential to the cot
ton grower, he said. Senator Smith
declared he was optimistic for the
future of the industry.
The real problem in the cotton
world is to start European industry
again and encourage the export of
finished goods from Europe, B. M.
Anderson, Jr., of the Chase National
bank. New York, told the conference.
He pointed out’ that the price of
cotton in Liverpool for the past six
months has been generally below the
normal parity with New York prices,
and that at times it has been prof
itable even to bring back raw cot
ton from England for sale in New
York.
The speaker oposed protective
tariffs directed against European
manufacturers. Speaking as a rep
resentative of the New York State
Bankers’ association, he said there
was a disposition on the part of
the banking fraternity to facilitate
export trade.
“Since the middle of 1919 when
government loans to Europe largely
ceased,” he said, "the overwhelming
bulk of our exports had gone on
open account, and an unfunded debt
of Europe to the United States of
not less than $4,500,000,000 has been
created.
"Directly and indirectly American
banks are carrying most of this. A
one-sided export trade of this kind
cannot continue and at the present
time appears largely to have ceased.
"One thing the cotton producers
can do that would really help the
situation would be to resist the meas
ures now under consideration for im
posing high protective tariffs on im
ports from Europe. We cannot con
tinue to sell unless we are /willing
to buy. A rich neighbor is a good
customer. A revival of Europe’s in
dustries is the most important thing
that can come about to help the
existing situation.”
Mr. Anderson said the. situation is
lute monarch of it. The form of
government will be changed from a
democracy to a monarchy. Every
man and woman will have justice;
there will be no labor and capital
problem, for each will vie with the
other in seeing which can do the
most for the other. Every law on
the statute books will be observed.
Politics will be pure. The city
streets will be a safe place for
boys and girls to play; and boys
and girls will play instead of being
made to bear the burdens of life
as in many instances they have to
do now. Every form of evil now
or hereafter known shall be smitten,
summarily dealt with. Even the
dumb beasts shall feel the
of it, for those now at enmity will
be fellows, under the sway of that
Jewish King.
Under His absolute rule the poor
and the meek will have an equal
chance with the rich and the for
ward, for this King shall reign in
righteousness; with righteousness
shall He judge the poor; righteous
ness shall be the girdle of His loins
and faithfulness the girdle of His
reins. . „
Who is this Jew, this King? None
other than the rod out of the stem
of Jesse, the branch that shall grow
out of his roots; who is filled with
the seven-fold spirit of God, making
Him of quick understanding in the
fear of the Lord? He is the One
whose name is the wonderful, the
counsellor, the mighty God, the ever
lasting Father, the Prince of Peace;
of the increase of whose government
there shall be no end, upon the
throne of David.
And this will be accomplished by
the zeal of Jehovah of hosts; not by
might, nor by an army, but by my
spirit, saith Jehovah of hists. (Read
Isaiah 9, 11, and 32, and Zech. 4.)
Fessimißt or Optimist
As we look about at the sin of
the world the outlook is exceedingly
dark. Greed for gain cnaracterizes
the commercial world. Selfishness,
intrigue, and corruptions dominate
the world of politics. In the home,
and therefore in the civil govern
ment, loss of respect for authority
is the outstanding characteristic.
And in the social world luxurious
living and social vice are increasing
ly predominant—and all of this in
the. face of 2,000 years of the preach
ing of the gospel. Pessimistic? Yes.
when we look at the woold: but
the greatest of optimists when we
lobfc at God; for we know that all
of this xvill be changed, and that
America and the world will be Chris
tian in fact when Jesus Christ comes
again and reigns in person as has
been foretold by the God-inbreathed
men of old.
My effort, therefore,* now, and
yours, if we would be true Christian
patriots, if we love our nation and
would have it Christian in fact, is
two-fold: First, to yield my life
absolutely to God, to do His will, par
ticularly in witnessing for Him to
others; and second, to wait longingly
for the personal, visible, and glorious
return of that same Jesus who disap
peared from view that day on Olivet
when a cloud received Him out of
the sight of the waiting disciples.
As Paul gave tne Thessalonian
Christians the divine program for
their lives in I Thess. 1: 9. 10 —"to
serve and to wait.”
Brethren, having turned to God
ourselves, let us serve and wait.
F. H. Daniels to Go
On Trial Friday for
Killing Cherokee Bailiff
CANTON, Ga., May 31.—Judge D.
W. Blair, of Marietta judge of the
superior courts of the Blue Ridge
circuit, has issued a call for a specia’
session of the superior court of
Cherokee county to convene Friday,
June 3, for the purpose of trying F.
H. Daniels, of 9 Garnett street, At
lanta, who, Tuesday morning, May
24. it is charged shot and instantly
killed bailiff Charlie Loggins and
painfully wounded Floyd M. Black
well, sheriff of Cherokee county.
Judge Blair has instructed that all
jurors, both garnd and petit, serv
ing at the February adjourned term
which was held on the second Mon
day in May be present. Daniels re
mains calm and seemingly undis
turbed as the day for his trial ap
proaches. As he is cautiously
guarded in his cell in the county jail
here he refrains from making any
statement concerning the shooting.
A memorial fund is being raised
by the citizens of this county for
the widow and spven small children
surviving Bailiff Loggins the same
to be expended as necessary by a
committee to be appointed for tha’
purpose, this family having bee#
left in rather destitute circumstances’
Sheriff Blackwell continues to im
prove and his physicians report that
his condition is all that could be
hoped for under the circumstances.
It will be several days, however, be
fore he is able to leave his room.
complicated by such things as the
British coal strike and the general
trade situation in Europe.
The conference considered a num
ber of technical subjects while its
resolution committee debated a se
ries of proposals submitted by mem
bers. It was expected the resolutions
would be adopted without much of a
fight, the committee having been
shaken up as a result of a disagree
ment between members appointed
from the Cotton Manufacturers’ as
sociation and the cotton growers.
Only growers remained on the com
mittee following the shakeup.
The resolutions included one call
ing upon the delegate to the world
conference in London next month to
urge upon the cotton industry Presi
dent Harding’s advice to work for
industrial peace and co-operation.
The cotton men also will ask that
discount rates be lowered. They
argued that the Federal Reserve bank
now demands three for one in cotton
certificates and loans about 80 per
cent oh that.
Among the speakers were Dwight
B. Heard, of Phoenix, Ariz., who
talked on experiments in raising
Egyptian cotton in Arizona, and
Charles H. MacDowell. of New York,
president of the National Fertilizer
association.
WEST POINT CELEBRATES
OPENING OF STEEL BRIDGE
WEST POINT, Ga., May 31. —At 10
o’clock this morning this city cele
brated the opening of the new $160,-
000 concrete and steel bridge which
spans the Chattahoochee river at this
place, and the pontoon bridge which
has done such faithful service since
the flood of December, 1919, de
stroyed the old bridge. Community
singing was joined in by the citizens
of both Georgia and Alabama who
had assembled here for the formal
opening. The singing was led by
Mrs. A. D. Furgerson. Prayer was
offered by Rev. S. P. Speigle.
The first car to cross the new
bifidge was driven by little Jette
Baker and contained Mrs. Frfank
Lanier, Mrs. Ella Williams and Mr.
and Mrs. Phil Lanier. Mrs. Williams,
the mother of former Commissioner
of Internal Revenue W. M. Williams,
was the first person to cross the
bridge in 1886, riding across the
structure on horseback, as soon as
it was completed. This was the
bridge which was destroyed by the
flood.
Resolutions or Thanks
The following resolutions were
adopted by the meeting of citizens,
and were read by Miss Lillian Mel
ton:
"To the honorable board of road
commissioners of Troup county, and
the state highway commissioners of
the state of Georgia:
“Whereas, by an act of providence,
the flood of Chattahoochee river ou
December 9, 1919, visited us and car
ried away the bridge connecting the
two sections of our city, and at the
same time destroying hundreds ot
thousands of dollars’ worth of other
property, leaving our city in great
distress, and
"Whereas you, through your good
I offices, seeing our distress and urg
ent need of means of transportation,
so generously agreed to replace the
lost bridge with a new one so much
better than the old;
“And whereas, you have made good
your promises and have now opened
for our use this magnificent and
beautiful bridge, which will always
stand as a monument to you, who
have so wonderfully exemplitied the
spirit of the Good Samaritan;
"Therefore, be it resolved by the
citizens of West Point in mass meet
ing assembled;
“First, That we extend to you and
all of the citizens of Troup county
our sincere gratitude for that s P
of brotherly love which prompted
you to do this generous deed for us
during our great distress.
"Second, That as we use and enjoy
this bridge, it will always keep fresh
in our memories the many acts ot
kindness shown us by you and tne
good people of the entire state dur
ing our disaster. /
“Third, That a -copy of these reso
lutions be sent to the chairman or
both the county commissioners, and
the highway commissioners, and also
to the press.
Phil Lanier Thanked
Phil Lanier, one of the most be
loved citizens of West Point, was
thanked for his labors for the new
bridge in the following resolution:
“Whereas, the disastrous flood in
December, 1919, left our little city
in sore distress, having destroyed
and severely damaged our business
houses and homes, and also destroy
ed the bridge which spanned the
Chattahoochee river here.
“And, whereas, in this dark hour,
our fellow townsman and that prince
of good fellows, Phil Lanier, by his
marvelous tact, and his keen
of the right thing to do at the right
time, through the hearty co-operation
of the county commissioners ot
Troop county and the state highway
commission of Georgia, secured the
magnificent bridge which we now
have, which will stand as a monu
ment to him and the above -mention
ed bodies. , ..
“And whereas, during the erection
of this bridge, Phil Lanier has given
of his time and ability to the details
of the erection.
“Therefore, be it resolved, that the
people of West Point in mass meet
ing assembled hereby thank I hil La
nier most heartily for his services
and great love displayed by him to.
his home town, and say to him tnat
he will always hold a large place in
the hearts of our people.
“Resolved further that a copy of
these minutes be sent to our fellow
townsman and to the press.
Transcontinental Rates
To Meet Water Tariffs
WASHINGTON, May 31. —Trans-j
continental railroad freight rates are j
being altered to meet ocean competi
tion between the Atlantic and the Pa- |
'cific via the Panama canal, Edward I
Chambers. vice president of the i
Atchison, Topeka and Sante re, de-1
dared today before the senate com-1
mittee investigating the railroad sit-|
uation. , . f
•We shall fix the rates from San
Francisco to New York to meet the
water carriers,” Mr. Chambers said,;
“and then modify the interior rate
structure so that Kansas City, Ch*-
cago and Cincinnati, for instance, i
will get the same rate as that to,
New York, and producers in all .
points will be placed on a competi-;
tive basis.’’
"Reasonable water rates should be
fixed ” Mr. Chambers said. “The pub
lic would be better served. Between
the ports of the United States the
water carriers should be under the j
jurisdiction of the interstate com- j
merce commission and the rates j
should be high enough to allow the >
Panama canal to pay interest on tne
costs of construction.”
Effort to Cut Bill on
Appropriations Fails
WASHINGTON. May 31.—-An effort j
to cut $15,000,000 from the $90,000,- (
000 provided in the naval appropria
tion bill for continuing the 1916
building program failed today in the
senate. The vote was 35 to 20, ten
Republicans and ten Democrats vot
ing to reduce the building fund and
seven Democrats voting with the ma
jority of the Republicans to stand by
the committee recommendations.

Informal Feelers on
Armament Question
Put Out by America
WASHINGTON, May 31.—“ Info
rmal feelers” with respect to an in
ternational agreement for a reduction
of armaments already have been put
out by the American government, it
was learned today in high adminis
tration quarters. The purpose, it is
understood, is to develop the attitude
of foreign governments on the ques
•tion befort any formal negotiations
are undertaken.
This action, it is understood, was
taken before the senate passed the
Borah resolution calling for a dis
armament conference.
Although .details of the plan have
not been divulged, it is understood
that Mr. Harding has suggested in
formally to the great powers that
the question be considered by the su
preme council. He believes this
method more satisfactory than an at
tempt to settle the question at a
special disarmament conference.
The president, according to best,
indications today, still holds his
original view that the Borah resolu
tion would unduly tie the hands of
the executive.
At the time of the appointment of
Colonel George Harvey as ambassa
dor to Great Britain it was an
nounced that he would be instructed
to broach the subject of a disama
ment agreement abroad. Information
obtained today indicated 'that the
first step in carrying out this course
already hag taken place.
