NEW ORLEANS COTTON
| NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 31. —Sales
of 12,000 bales on the spot in Livet-
C pool caused a rise in the cotton mar
ket here on the opening today. In
| the first half hour the gains were
■. widened to 17 to 35 points. Old
crops were stronger than the new,
the October position being held
down by favorable weather in all
sections of the cotton region. March
traded up to 33.48 and October up
to 27.55.
The market appeared to be sus
| tained by technical strength. Price
if movements became narrow’ but to-
R ward noon a few’ points were added
h to the advance. March traded as
high as 33.50, but October did not
make any new high. Later in the
morning the list w r as 17 to 40 points
f over yesterday’s close. October ap
peared to be held down by more xa-
S vorable weather reports from the m-
* terior and talk of a large acreage
i in the western belt.
1 The buying movement became gen
y eral, but most of the buying was in
the old crop positions. The western
belt reported a continued good de
mand from abroad for spots. In
| the trading up to 1:30 o’clock, March
rose to 33.71. and October to 27.60,
v the list showing gains of 22 to 59

GRAIN
CHICAGO, (Friday), Jan. 31. —The
advance in wheat encountered more
stubborn opposition today. There
was a spread in bullish sentiment
over night as result of yesterday’s
bulge and the buying power at the
opening was all that could be ex
pected after such an advance.
Commission houses with North
west connections bought and there
was much local buying. Local pro
fessionals sold on the advance and
there was selling by spreaders who
were buying in Winnipeg. Export
demand was a little better. Strength
in Liverpool was attributed to the
advance in Argentine freight rates.
Receipts are moderate but cash
men pack from the Michigan millers
convention say bids of SI.OO all over
| Michigan bought much wheat from
1 the farmers. Outside mills bought
I little wheat today as they were will
ing to wait to see if the bulge wa»
permanent.
Wheat closed 1 to 1 1-4 cents high,
er. May. $1,113-8 to sl,lll-2; July,
sl.lO to sl.lO 1-8; September, $1.09 1-2.
Corn had a choppy action. There
was pressure at the start through
commission houses principally on
the July and this caused locals to
play the short side. Supporting or
ders caused early sellers to change
their mind and their rush to cove”
and shift to the long side caused
a bulge. After a moderate advance
pressure from commission houses
developed again. There was a good
demand for spot corn at unchanged
prices. Domestic shipping demand,
was slow.
Coin closed unchanged to 3-8 cents
higher. May, 80c to 79 7-8 c; July,
80 1-4 c to 80 l-8c; September, 80 5-Bc.
May and July oats reached new
high marks on the crop. Investment
buying was good while realizing
sales were encountered on the bulge.
Shipping demand slow.
Oats were 1 4 to 5-8 cents higher.
May, 49 l-2c; July, 4G 3-4 c; Septem
ber. 43 3-4 c.
Provisions were easier under pres
sure from packers both large and
small.
Lard closed 10 to 17 1-2 cents low
er, and ribs unchanged.

HEFLIN UM
By LOW POLITICS.
SAYS G. 0. P. CHIEF
BROWNSVILLE, Tex.. Jan. 30.
Challenging Senator Heflin, Demo
crat, Alabama, to press his resolu
tion introduced in the United States
senate Monday, In which it was
charged that an effort was made in
1921 “to stifle an inquiry into land
frauds in Texas,” R. E. Creager, Re
publican national comnjitteeman for
Texas, in a statement here today
declared Mr. Heflin was actuated by
the “lowest of political motives.”
“I challenge Senator Heflin to
press his resolution,” said Mr. Crea
ger. “I do not believe he introduced
it with any intention of ever hav
ing an investigation as to whether
any cabinet officer had been im
properly influenced or that I had
sought to improperly’ influence them.
I denounce Senator Heflin in tak
ing advantage of his position in the
United States senate to slander hon
orable men and interests.
Mr. Creager, in his statement,
says he was a member of a commit
tee of Rio Grande valley citizens
which went to Washington in April,
1921, to protest against certain let
ters being sent out by the depart
ment of agriculture which were “det
rimental to valley interests.” The
department of agriculture was con
vinced that the form of the letter
they had been sending out was un
fair, and they agreed to change it,
Mr. Creager said. The committee
also stated to cabinet officers that
they were not there to stop investi
gaion as to the alleged fraudulent
practices but that the valley wel
comed invesigation, Mr. Creager
said.
“These investigations did continue
thereafter. Indictments, were re
turned against a number of men
at Kansas City and some of these
men were convicted. Our visit to
Washington was in the latte r part
of April. 1922. The court action at
Kansas City’ came several months
later. • I connection with two
land companies. The department of
justice did not inform me what com
panies they investigated, but I know
they investigated mine, at my re
quest.”

j Coolidge, at Age of 8,
Learns First Economic
Lesson From Election
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Presi
dent. Coolidge received his first lesson
in “sound political economy” and a
striking lesson in domestic economy
during the Garfield-Hancock cam
paign of ISBO, when he was eight
years old.
Speaking informally at the annual
meeting of the Ohio Society of Wash
ington last night, Mr. Coolidge told
this story of an incident of the Gar
field-Hancock campaign:
“It was during that campaign that
I, as a small boy, approached my
father, who was a very good busi
ness man, with the proposition that
he should furnish me with a penny
to buy some candy. He told me that
we "were in the midst of a political
campaign, and that there was a
probability, a possibility at least,
that we were going to elect a Demo
crat for president. Such an action,
he said, woul,d undoubtedly be fol
lowed by hard times, and therefore
it was necessary to economize.
“That was sound, doctrine, I
think. Anyhow it had to do for me.
“I recall the next morning after the
election, and, as soon as the news
reached our town that James A. Gar
field had been chosen president, I
went to my father and told him the
result indicated we were to continue
a Republican administration, and,
with that prospect in view, I was
able to secure the advance of th<?
sum I had asked.”

Democratic women from seven mid
dle western states, here for their
school of democracy, were continu
ing today their efforts to formulate
plans to bring victory to their par
ty in 1924. The intricacies of party
organization, methods of getting in
formation to the voters and all the
elements that go to make up a na
tional campaign were being explain
ed to the several hundred women by
a group of speakers led by Mrs.
Halsey Wilson, national educational
director.
Opening sessions of the gathering
yesterday was marked by onslaughts
directed at the Teapot Dome inci
dent, President Coolidge’s “adver
tised virtues.” and Senator Robert
M. Lafollette, of Wisconsin. The
oil lease controversy was touched
upon by several speakers. Mrs. Blair
declared the president’s qualities of
“caution, thrift and reticence’
might'well be taken as faults rather
than virtues and that the presi
dent’s caution, in handling the Tea
pot Dome case was not “viewed
with favor by many Republicans,”
and Mrs. Gertrude Bowler, of Wis
consin, stated that Lafollette was
losing strength because of failure
to fulfill campaign promises.
Hunting License Laws
Held Unconstitutional
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Jan. 30.
The supreme court .today declared
unconstitutional the special hunting
license laws passed by the 1923 leg
islature for Hernando and Dixie
counties.
In an opinion by Judge Whitfield,
the court holds that chapter 9456 of
the laws, which requires all non
residents of Hernando county to pay
to the county a license tax of SSO for
hunting wild game in that county
during the hunting season under the
general law, while under the same
special law a resident of Hernando
county is required to pay $1 license
tax for hunting wild game in the
county outside of the voting pre
cinct of such resident, and. chapter
9431 of the laws, which requires
residents of the state who are not
residents' of Dixie county to pay a
license tax of $lO for hunting wild
game in Dixie county during the
hunting season named in the act,
while residents of the county are
required to pay a license tax of $125
for hunting wild game in Dixie coun
ty during the hunting season, are
both violative of the relators’ or
ganic rights to equal protection of
the laws in the enjoyment of a
right to lawfully hunt wild game
in the state, which the relators have
in common with all the citizens of
the state.
.Such special or local statutory pro
visions being in conflict with organic
law, are inoperative and the relators
are declared entitled to licenses upon
complying with the general laws
i regulating the subject, the court
i holds.

SECRETARY OWIS
GREETED BY JEERS
ATMINEBSW
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 31.—(8>
the Associated Press.) —Howls and
boos greeted James J. Davis, secre
tary of labor, when he was intro
duced by President John L. Lewis
to the biennial convention of the
United Mine Workers of Ame/ica
here today. Lewis had asked for a
respectful hearing for a “member
of the president’s cabinet.”
While the tumult proceeded Lewis
again took the floor and shouted
at the top of his voice to make him
self heard:
“The honor of your organization
is at stake. You are on trial before
the country. Exercise self restraint
that our organization be not pub
licly shamed.”
He then requested those unwil
ling to hear the speaker to leave
the hall. After prolonged handclap
ping Secretary Davis began to
speak.
Secreary Davis drew applause
from the delegates when he recom
mended a long term wage contract
of five years, declaring such a wage
agreement would bring about a long
period of harmony in the coal in
dustry and would eliminate “spot, or
short coal gambles —the worst
menace of the industry.”
Secretary Davis pleaded for away
in which to make the coal mines of
the country safer for the miners.
The chief needs of the coal in
dustry, Mr. Davis set out as:
“Peace for a term of years, elimi
nation of the spot coal gambler; cre
ation of a permanent research
bureau in the miners’ organization
and appointment of interpreters of
local agreements, to remove the
causes for petty local strikes.”
In conclusion, Secretary Davis
told the miners “no matter what oc
curs keep you contract and the
American people will have faith in
you and your organization."
Each delegate as he entered the
convention hall this morning was
handed a leaflet put out, it was said,
by the “Progressive International
Committee of the United Mine
Workers of America,” and headed in
large black-face type, “James J.
Davis, the enemy of the U. M. W.
of A.” t
Secretary Davis was described in
the leaflet as the bitterest enemv of
foreign-born miners and of other
workers and the question is asked
why President Lewis brings him to
the convention.

Clay Primary March 14
FORT GAINES. Ga., Jan. 31.
The Clay county Democratic execu
tive committee met here and fixed
the date for the county primary on
March 14 next and candidates are
allowed until March 1 to make their
entries and qualify. The date would
have been set for March 19 had it
not been for the fact that Clay su
perior court will convene on the
third Monday in March for the
spring term of court, and the com
mittee thought best not to try to
hold the election and court all on
the same day. However, the presi
dential primary will be held March
19.

NEW LAMP BURNS
94% AIR
Beats Electric or Gas
A new oil lamp that gives an amazing
ly brilliant, soft, white light, even better
than gas or electrictiy, has been tested by
the U. S. Government and 35 leading uni
versities and found to be superior to 10
ordinary oil lamps. It burns without odor,
smoke or noise—no pumping up, is simple,
elean, safe. Burns 94% air and 6% com
mon kerosene (coal oil.)
The Inventor, A. N. Johnson. 642 N.
Broad St., Philadelphia, is offering to
send a lamp on 10 days' FREE trial, or
even to give one FREE to the first user
in each locality who will help him intro
duce it. Write him today for full particu
lars. Also ask him to explain how you
can get the agency, and without experi
ence or money make 5250 to SSOO per

Bankers Indorse Farm
Program of Randolph
County Ad Club
CUTHBERT, Ga., Jan. 31.—The
bankers of Randolph county unani
mously pledged their co-operation in
the movement for improved methods
of farm management as urged by
the Randolph County Advertising
club in its 1924 program when they
met at luncheon Monday evening at
the Woman’s clubrooms on invita
tion of the advertising club’s execu
tive commitfee.
Every bank in the county had one
or more representatives present, and
the leading figures in the county’s
business and banking circles took
part, in the discussions. The club’s
slogan is that every farmer plant
sufficient food and feedstuffs this
year to run the farm. It was shown
how vital full co-operation by the
banks of the county is to the suc
tess of the program.
The spirit of the meeting was best
expressed perhaps by W. J. Oliver,
president of the .Shellman Banking
company, who said: “Friends, it is
after all a question of unselfish wil
lingness on our part to do team
work for the aid of all.” The same
thought was expreftsed by other
speakers, including E. C. Teel, presi
dent, and N. M. Weaver, vice presi
dent, of the- Bank of Cuthbert; W.
R. Curry, of the First National Bank
of Shellman; R. E. Gormley, of the
Georgia Bank and Trust company,
of Cuthbert; D. W. Hammack and
B. W. Rish, of the Hammett-Rish
bank, and others.

“The Republican party Is over an.
oil fire,” he said. “There is no tell
ing whom it will scorch or where It
will spread.”
It would not surprise Mr. Bryan to
find congress shortly demanding an
exhaustive investigation of cabinet
cobnizance of the naval oil reserve
leases as to learn whether or not
President Coolidge was ever present
at such a discussion.
“The real importance of the thing
does not depend upon cTiminal con
viction of any participant,” said Mr.
Bryan. “The big point is that it
serves as an illustration of the ten
dency of Republican leaders. It dis
closes their bias in favor of ‘big
business,’ big corporations and rich
men, as against the masses.”
