COTTON
NEW YORK, Sept. 18.—Reports
that rains were delaying the pick
ing of cotton in the south and slow
ing down the movement, combined
with relatively steady Liverpool ca
bles, seemed responsible for an open
ing advance of 17 to 25 points in the
cotton market here today. There
was less hedge selling, which was
supposed to reflect the in pick
ing. Covering also was promoted
by uncertainty as to the showing of
the government crop report to be
published early next week. October
sold up to 22.53 and December to
22.13 making net advances of about
28 to 31 points on active months, but
at these figures offerings increased
and there were reactions of several
points during the early trading.
Reactions from the early high
prices were accompanied by reports
that the advance had att*aeted a re
newal of hedge selling. The mar
ket eased off to 21.G5 for December
representing net declines of about
12 to 20 points. On continued cover
ing, however, the market held steady
at mid-day with December at 21.80
or within five points of yesterday's
closing. The private crop reports
were issued, one estimating the con
dition at 57.6 and the indicated yield
13,082,000 bales, while the other plac
ed the condition at 58.6 and the yield
at 13,290,000.
The detailed weather reports
showing more or less general rains
in central and western belt sections
we/e followed by another upturn in
th’a early afternoon. December ad
vanced to 22.23, or 38 points net
h?gher. While this bulge was not
fully maintained the market was
steady at 2 o’clock.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 18.—The
cotton market opened very steady
in sympathy with higher Liverpool
cables than due. First trades show
ed gains of 20 to 23 points. Over
night and early morning advices in
dicated more rain than desirable in
both western and extreme eastern
belts. Spot advices were also favor
able, it being generally believed that
considerable September commitments
still remained to be filled. October
traded at 21.70, December 21.82 and
January 21.88, or 22 to 23 points
above the previous close and prices
continued steady during the early
trading.
The market continued to improve
during the hour before noon, owing
to reports of good spot demand and
on shorts covering, fearing too ’
much rain. All months made new
highs with October at 21.77, Decem
ber 21.90, and January 21.97, or 46
to 50 points up from the lows of the
morning. The market turned easier
during the early afternoon on a. re
newal of hedge selling, losing 17 to
20 points from the highs.

I Wheat was very irregular, and
prices were subject to frequent
changes.
Oats were affected by the action
of corn and wheat.
Provisions had an irregular trend.
Corn felt the effects of yesterday’s
heavy selling and, as a result, ral
lies were difficult to hold. There was
a lessened selling pressure because
even the most radical of bars felt
lit hazardous to press the decline at
these levels.
Many of the shorts came in, on
the dip but the buying of an in
vestment character showed little im
provement. Since the decline more
optimism is evident regarding the
outcome of the crop. However,
weather conditions, while showing
little moisture, are not exactly fa
vorable for the promotion of growth.
Cash corn followed the fluctuations
in the futures. Receipts were larg
er but the demand also broadened.
Country offerings to arrive ivere
light but a few cars were booked
on overnight bids to the country.
Wheat was exceedingly nervous,
and prices changed their trend fre
quently. Much of the trading was
by locals who followed the. trend in
corn in making their commitments.
There was a little buying credited
to exporters at the opening, but it
was not near the volume of yes
terday. Hedging sales by the north
west made it difficult to maintain
the advances. *
Liverpool decline was due to weak
ness in North America, a pause in
demand, and a slump in Argentine
exchange. Storage space is becom
ing scarce in the local market as
well as at Minneapolis.
The Rock Island and Wabash rail
roads refused to accept cars for the
northwestern elevators today. Do
mestic milling demand was quiet.
Wheat rallied with corn, and
closed 1 3-8 to 2 l-4c higher. Septem
ber, $1.29; December. $1,33 1-8 to
1.33 1-4; May, $1,39 3-8 to 1.39 1-2;
July, $1,301-4.
Oats also followed the trend in
corn and the price movement was
irregular. September felt the pres
sure of liquidation, but the deferred
months met ivith better support.
Shipping demand improved on the
decline.
Oats were 1-2 to 7-8 c higher. Sep
tember, 48 1-4; December, 52 1-2 to
52 5-8 ; May, 56 7-8.
Provisions were irregular. Nearby
deliveries of lard met good buying
from .cash interests. Defererd fu
tures were under pressure, and sup
port was limited.
Lard closed unchanged to 15c high
er; ribs, 7 l-2c higher, and bellies 25c
higher.
Local cash sales were 333,000
bushels of wheat, including 250,000
to exporters, 140,000 bushels of corn,
99,000 bushels of oats, and 15,000 of
barley to exporters.
The seaboard reported 300,000
bushels of wheat and 200,000 bushels
of rye taken for export.

LAWRENCE THINKS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Lensed Wire to I'lie Journal —Copy-
riglit, 1921.)
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.—Illinois at
the moment is not serously enough
affected by the candidacy of Senator
La Follette to warrant optimism
among Democrats that John W.
Davis will profit by the -split and
capture the electoral vote as did
Wilson in 1912 when the Republican
party was divided.
There is an unquestioned drift or
undercurrent or silent vote or in
definable trend toward La Follette
from the ranks of the working men
and from farmers who want class
government. This vote will be con
siderable, but in a state which Har
ding carried by a million majority
in 1920, Coolidge could afford to lose
300,000 or more votes and not feel it.
In other words, in a strongly
Republican state like this only a
Roosevelt with a dominating in
fluence among regulars as well as
progressives can prevent the elector
al vote from being cast for a Repub
lican. And it is admitted on all sides
that La Follette is no Roosevelt.
Small Holding Aloof
The number of votes La Follette
may get is, of course, an interesting
subject for speculation and perhaps
will be regarded with gratification
by those who hope after election day
to lay the foundations for a pro
gressive party, but in the matter of
electoral votes a miss of an inch isn’t
any better than a mile. William
Howard Taft, seeking re-election in
1912, polled a big popular vote, prob
ably more than La Follette will get
this year, but Mr. Taft received only
a handful of electoral votes, and
that’s what counts.
So in Illinois, while LaFollette
sentiment is by no means unimpor
tant, it will not change the result of
the electoral vote which at present
writing would appear to be safe for
President Coolidge.
There are certain aspects of the
campaign which could be disquieting
if the Republican managers didn’t
know their Illinois: For example,
Governor Len Small is seeking- re
election on the Republican ticket and
he has refrained from indorsing
President Coolidge or speaking at
meetings where the regular Repub
lican national organization sends
speakers.
, The regular nominees like former
Govenor Deneen, who is running for
United States senator to succeed
Medill McCormick, are keeping away
from Small and his crowd. It’s a
sort of polite truce, the effect of
which will not be lost on the La Fol
lette type of voter. Indeed, Gover
nor Small will help Senator La Fol
lette, for many who will vote for the
former will vote for the Wisconsin
leader, too.
One hears that La Follette will
draw as many from the Democrats
hs from the Republicans. This is an
assumption that ignores, however,
that the Republican party in Illinois’
especially since the ascendency of
Len Small, has developed quite a
radical wing, while among the
Democrats the radical groups are
relatively small.
Democrats Face Task
Many laboring men who are
Democrats ordinarily will turn to
La Follette but it would appear that
even larger inroads will be made
into the Republican party. The
Democratic organization has a ticket
of its own to elect and whatever its
feeling may be. about Davis it must
work tooth and nail for the whole
ticket to win for the state ticket. So
the energies of the Democratic lead
ers throughout the state are directed
toward holding the line while the
Republican management can hope
for similar support because of the
split in the party developed by Gov
ernor Small in recent years.
The. Democrats have nominated
an able man for United States sena
tor. Colonel Sprague, who is popu
lar with the war veterans, but
neither he nor former Governor De
neen will attract th e La Follette
supporters, who are still talking of
putting a senatorial candidate into
the field.
Governor Small ran approximately
350,000 behind Warren Harding in
1920, which gives an idea of his
strength as compared with a regular
Republican nominee when no pro
gresslve is running. He may not
run that far behind Coolidge this
year, for La Follette will unques
tionably cut. down the Coolidge to
tals this time. All of which is rela
tively unimportant beside the fact
that Illinois’ electoral votes may be
put down for the man now in the
White House.

POOR, OLD LINE BATTLESHIP
MUST YIELD TO AIRPLANES,
PRESIDENT COOLIDGE HEARS
But He Doesn't Get Excited
Over It —Battleships and
Infantry Soldiers Will Win
Next War ( Too
BY ROBERT T. SMAT.L
(S'peeial Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy
right. 1921.)
WASHINGTON. Sept. 17.—The
poor old seagoing line battleship has
been “junked” again. Every time
anybody does a stunt 1 in the air
these days, the poor old battleship
gets it. in the neck. It was the same
way when t he submarine first began
to prowl the sandy depths of the
ocean. The under-water boats were
believed to have doomed the big
fighting craft to an inglorious obliv
vion. But the battle boats survived
that attack and naval officials de
dared today that so long as nations
have any navies at all the heavily
belted capital ships will always have
first place.
The advocates of the airplane
h.ave taken their cause to the White
House, and while President Coolidge
has lent a sympathetic ear to their
arguments, he is not by any means
convinced. The president, like
everyone else, has heard the doom of
the battleship so often that he is
inclined to regard the latest propa
ganda for an air force as against
the continuance of the navy, as an
other cry of “wolf.”
The president has been told this
time that the success of the around
the-world flight of the army airmen
has proved that navies are obsolete,
that the airplane rules the military
world, and that it would be impos
sible for the United States again
to transport a large army to Eu
rope. This latter argument or as
sertion has left the president cold.
He has no idea of transporting an
other big army to Europe.
Navy Men Up in Arms
Navy men are up in arms over
what they term the presumption of
the army and its fliers. They want
to know what would have happened
to the world flight if it had not been
for the co-operation and support of
the navy. All sections of the over
seas flight of the world girdlers were
“policed” by the navy. Supplies
and spare motors and parts had to
be transported for the fliers. Every
man of military knowledge appre
ciates the wonderful strides that
have been made in the air since the
World war. The navy itself has
done some wonderful flying. Hun-
RECEIPTS RECH
SMASHED MOHQAY
ay cohon co-op
Monday was a record breaking day
with tne Georgia Cotton Growers’
Co-operative association in receipt of
cotton, 2,770 bales being turned in
by members. This surpassed October
8 of last year, the best previous day
in the association’s history, by 381
bales.
The association paid out drafts
aggregating $150,466 on Monday’s re
ceipts. The growers of 558 bales de
clined to draw any advance on their
cotton.
The bulk of the cotton came from
south Georgia counties. Middle and
north Georgia are just beginning to
gin in quantity and heavy deliver
ies will shortly begin from those
sections.
The association has received this
fall aoout five times as much cot
ton as it had got in last year. While
the Georgia crop is much earlier this
year, the asosciation’s receipts are
so much heavier than last Septem
ber that it is certain that more than
100,000 bales will be handled this
year as against 77,000 bales last
year.
Officials of the association say
that last week they received several
hundred new membership contracts
and that the increase in members
was larger for last week than for
any week during the last several
months, although the association has

Coolidge’s Son Pledges
To Amherst Fraternity
AMHERST, Md.. Sept. 17.—Presi
dent Coolidge’s son, John, who
matriculated at Amherst college this
year, has pledged himself to the fra
ternity of which his father is a me n
ber. the Phi Gamma Delta. Before
making his choice, young Coolidge
was given the opportunity to insped
all fourteen societies at the college.
Today, with his roommate, the presi
dent’s son took up his residence in a
modest two-room suite in a rooming
house, where he will live during his
college career.
into one comprehensive structure
which will provide headquarters and
the meeting places for local, state
and national bodies.
dreds of thousands of air miles have
been flown without the loss of a
single life. Many air problems have
been vyorked out.
The navy regards the’airplane as
an adjunct and an asset to the fleet
rather than a menace. Planes are
used nowadays for "spotting” for the
big guns. Hovering above the fleet,
the planes observe and direct by
radio the range of the guns and re
port the hits. It xvuold be entirely
possible for a ship to fire at and hit
an unseen target, so long as the
planes xvere serving as “eyes.”
It is the navy’s plan that the
fleet shall always be accompanied by
its planes as well as its destroyers.
These planes not only observe but
would be used for protection against
air attacks by hostile planes. The
air advocates appear to overlook the
fact that in actual warfare the plane
would not be able to fiy unmolested
over a fleet and drop its bombs at
will. It would have to fight its way
through defending forces.
It is but natural that there should
be rivalry between the army and
navy. • Each service would like to
see itself elevated above the other
and nowadays when appropriations
are dwindling the situation has de
veloped almost into a fight for life.
Always the Infantry
The air officers have contended
from time to time that th? plane has
doomed armies along with battle
ships, but old infantry and artil
lery officers say that “the next war”
as well as those in the past will be
decided on manpoxx'er and not on the
number of airplanes. No substitute
for the infantry has yet been found
and it is not believed any will be
found for many years to come. The
airplane of the future will make
ground fighting extremely “uncom
fortable,” but no. air force ever is
likely to take a city.
Navy men are inclined to look upon
the world flight as an admirable
“stunt” and a fine advertisement for
the air forces of both services. But
when it comes to arguing that the
long trail of the army planes over
sfea and desert has "doomed” the bat
tleship, the navy gets on its hind
legs and howls. Among other things
it is answered that a battleship fleet
could have circumvated the globe in
less time than it took the fliers to
make the journey.
President Coolidge is neutral in the
controversy at yet. It will be waged
anew in congress this winter, and
then the president may have some
thing official to say. He feels at the
moment that enough money is being
spent on both the navy and the air
forces, and so refuses to get excited.
FOUCHE. TENNESSEE
REPUBLICS. FSGES
SENATORIAL PROBE
CHATTANOOGA, Sept. 17.—John
S. Fouche, prominent Republican
leader in Tennessee, may be haled
before a senate investigating com
mittee to tell about his activities in
soliciting funds for the Republican
national campaign from civil service
employes, according to a story ap
pearing in the Chattanooga News
Wednesday afternoon from its
Washington correspondent.
The story in the News quotes Sen
ator K. D. McKellar as saying:
“John S. Fouche, Republican state
committee chairman, in writing to
the postmasters and other civil serv
ice employes in the state .narked on
the letters in parenthesis ‘home ad
dress’ soliciting contributions. This
is an express violation of the civil
service law, and as soon as congress
meets I shall call for an investiga
tion of the matter.
“Marking on a letter 'home ad
dress’ is not an evasion of the law
that will work, and the chances
are that both Mr. Fouche and the
other civil service employes and
postmasters will get into trouble
before it is over.”
Mr. Fouche commented to a. News
reporter in regard to the dispatch:
“They’ve got the wrong pig by
the ear and I don’t care.”
“Ho is not chairman of the G. O.
P. state committee, as Senator Mc-
Kellar terms him, but for many
years has been active in state Re
publican politics.
Reports are that civil service em
ployes throughout Tennessee are be
ing asked for contributions equal to
10 per cent of their annual salary
for the Republican national cam
paign.
82-Year-Old “Flapper”
Given Birthday Party
THOMASVILLE, Ga., Sept. 15.
Thomasville can boast of a flapper
who has pasesd her ieghty-second
milestone. Miss Betty Shepherd cele
brated her eighty-second birthday
last week and enjoyed it. She wears
her hair bobbed and is very much
pleased with the style, as it is not
only most comfortable but saves her
a great deal of trouble in combing
it. She reads without any glasses
and can eat anything that she
chooses.
Rev. and Mrs. R. G. Jackson, with
whom she resides, gave a birthday
dinner to her to which a number
of relatives were invited and there
was nobody there who enjoyed the
occasion more than the honoree.

LEAGUE ARMS PLKN
GENEVA, Sept. 17. —(By the Asso
elated Press.) —The sub-commission
on disarmament of the League of
Nations assembly today adopted a
resolution requesting the assembly
to consider the advisability of invit
ing the United States government to
send a representative to collaborate
with the league's permanent disarma
ment commission in framing a draft
convention for control of the private
manufacture of arms. This draft
would serve as the basis later for
an international conference.
The United States participated in
the league’s work of framing the
draft convention for international
control of traffic in arms.
The draft protocol on arbitration
and security framed by Foreign
Minister Benes of Czecho-Slovakia
has created a profound impression
among the delegates to the League
of Nations assembly.
Those who had the opportunity of
studying it have no hesitancy in
characterizing the document as a
compilation destined, perhaps, to
change world history, and direct its
course into paths leading to peace.
The delegates remark upon the
fact that Dr. Benes found one of
his chief sources of inspiration from
the United States, for it was an
American group, headed by Professor
James T. Shotwell. General Tasker
Bliss and David Hunter Miller,
which, dismissing the experts’ com
plicated definitions that led nowhere,
got down to the point and described
an aggressor state as one which de
clined the jurisdiction of an arbital
tribunal.
Meanwhile Geneva awaits without
excitement, though with undoubted
interest. some definite initiative
from Berlin concerning Germany’s
application for league membership.
The attitude here is unchanged; it
is that Germany must make the
first step.
Despite the apprehension manifest
in some British circles that Great
Britain may be promising too much
concerning action by her navy, while
maintaining the integrity of the
league covenant, there is no indica
tion of the British shifting their po
sition. The French representatives
continue to express the liveliest sat
isfaction and the conviction that
Great Britain will back up the
league decisions loyally and stand
with all her force against any ag
gressor state.
SOVIET BITTER AGAINST
LEAGUE AND ENGLAND
MOSCOW, Sept. 17.—(8y the As

is manifested by the soviet officials
and newspapers over the resolution
adopted by the League of Nations
assembly with regard to the situa
tion in the territory of Georgia.
In supporting the resolution, Pre
mier MacDonald, of Great Britain
is accused by the government news
papers of deliberately violating th ■
recently concluded Anglo-Russian
treaty which expressly forbids inter
ference by one country in the inter
nal affairs of the other.

The Times asks what are the
guarantees that the use of the naw

The Morning Post says: “Ths

The Daily Telegraph says: "The
imposing of a naval blockade upon
any states would immediately and
automatically involve Great Britain

the United States, which, not be

be under no obligation whatever to

Grand Jury Indicts
Atlanta Woman for
Language to Sheriff
DOUGLASVILLE, Ga., Sept. 17.
An indictment charging Mrs. E. C.
Allen, of Atlanta, with usii.g pro
fane and obscene language in pub
lic' was returned late yesterday by
the Douglas county grand jury, as
an outgrowth of the alleged slap
ping of Mrs. Allen by Sheriff A. S.
Baggett, of Douglas, when the lat
ter stopped the automobile driven
by her husband on the outskirts of
this place several months ago.
The alleged slapping occurred in
connection with an unsuccessful
search for liquor which Sheriff Bag
gett, accompanied by a civilian, con
ducted when he stopped the Allen
automobile.
Mr. Allen charged that the sher
iff, without stating that he was an
officer, jerked him violently from
the car, that the sheriff’s companion
covered him with a pistol and that
xvhile he was so covered, the sher
iff searched his car and slapped
Mrs. Alien’s face because she remon
strated with him. Suits aggregating
$20,000 have been filed here by the
Allens against. Sheriff Baggett -as a
result of the occurrence.
Sheriff Baggett, on the other
hand, charged that he slapped Mrs.
Allen's face only after she used vio
lently abusive language to him in the
presence of several of his kinspeo
ple, who were at his home nearby.
The grand jury action is the result
of these charges, and trial of the
case is expected to be set for an
early date.
