COTTON
NEW* YORK, Oct. 20.—The cot
ton market opened steady today at
an advance of five to seven points
on steady late cables from Liverpool
and reports that the tropical storm
nag* frown more threatening over
Sunday.
December sold up to 22.76 on the
initial demand. The storm situation
seemed to create little new buying,
however, and prices soon turned
easier under realizing or liquidation,
December selling off to 22.50 before
the end of the first hour or about
20 points net lower. Official fore
casts were regarded as suggesting
that the storm might be confined to
Florida and South Atlantic coast sec
tions and traders saw no sign of
the expected cold wave in the south
west.
The market later rallied) a few
points on trade-buying and covering
hut eased again under renewed liqui
dation and selling by last week’s
buyers. Under the influence of more
favorable weather reports and a pri
vate report making the condition
54.7 and the indicated yield 12,672.000
bales, selling again broke out around
midday. December sold off to 22.44,
the general market showing a net de
cline of 25 to 32 points in the noon
hour.
The midday break extended to
22.35 for December representing a
net decline of 35 points. The vol
ume of business tapered off again
at this figure and the midafternoon
market was comparatively quiet
with prices showing rallies of a few
points from the lowest levels.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 20.—The
cotton market opened steady. Liver
pool was better than due and first
trades here showed gains of 4 points
on December and losses of 5 to 6
points on later months. Prices
eased off right after the call on
hedge-selling mainly and by the end
of the first half-hour December trad
ed down to 22.40, January 22.47, and
March 22.75, or 26 to 27 points be
low the closing levels of Saturday.
The tropical storm which was sup
posed to have reached the west
coast of South Florida this morning
is expected to have no other effect
than bringing more or less rain to
the Atlantic coast states.
The market ruled barely steady
Suring the middle of the morning,
prices easing off gradually on the
generally' favorable weather and
father good hedge selling. Later
,rices eased off more rapidly owing
to an estimate by a big eastern spot
(touse with branches all over the
Couth making the condition 54.7 and
the indicated crop 12,672,000 bales.
Sentiment appeared bearish. It was
not believed that the tropical storm
would do any damage tp the cotton
belt.
The market ruled quieter around
noon and into the afternoon, fluc
tuating rather nervously within the
previous range. December advanced
to 22.45 and eased off again to 22.37
and the later months followed much
the same course, finally settling ;
around a level about 9 to 1U points I
ibove the lows of the morning. While ]
sentiment was bearish due to ex- ,
pectation of a. higher crop esti-j
mate next Saturday and record gin
nings, short showed timidity, owing
to uncertainty as to the effect of
the tropical storm in the eastern
belt.

GRAIN
I CHICAGO (Monday), Oct. 20.—1 t |
was a discouraging market for the
wheat bulls today. Price trend con
tinued downward, and the lower the
'market went the less buying power I
ideveloped. The break in wheat had!
I a depressing influence on both corn i
land Juts. Provisions ignored the |
'bearish feature, and continued their
.! upward movement, with lard prices!
(again Ute highest for ttie season.
j Wheat needed support badly. On |
'the early break export houses alt- I
‘sorbed some of the offering, but later
! when this demand was filled it was
(difficult to develop buying power oth- ;
|er than in the market on resting or
■ ders. Cash wheat is in a weaker po-
Isition, and the basis in the local mar
ket was a half cent lower. Export
brokers were unable to find any de
mand, even though they intimated
to their seaboard principals that
cheaper offers were to be had. Win
nipeg weakness was by no means
encouraging to the local holders,
many of them unloading when they
noticed this fact. Cash wheat at
I Winnipeg was on a delivery basis for
all but No. 1 northern. Indications
pointed to another liberal increase in
the visible supply. Seaboard advised
that sales overnight for export would
not total much over 500,000 bushels.
London Times estimates the Austra
lian surplus for export at 95,000,000
bushels, compared with 70,000,000
bushels, Broom hall’s estimate for last
year. The newspaper estimate is
looked upon as rather optimistic in
view of the fact that recent offi
cial advices indicated a crop this
year slightly that of a year
ago.
Wheat closed nqar the low point,
2%c to 5%c lower. December,
$1.45% to $1.45%; May, $1.4% to
$1.49%; July, $1.31% to $1.31%.
iCbrn also lacked# buying power.
There was an attempt on the part
lof local traders to support the mar- 1
I kef, but longs were discouraged and
itook advantage of every opportunity ,
to market their holdings. Weather ,
continued to make merchantable '
corn and also to permit pasturing of .
live stock. Both these features were ’
price depressors. Cash corn was :
weak, and discounts were a half to
1c wider. Country offerings to ar- f
live were nil. Shipping demand was 1
poor. ‘
Corn closed, 2%c to 2%c lower. ’
December, $1.06% to $1*.06%; May,
$1.08% to $1.08%; July, $1.09% to 1
$1.09%. I
Oats were under pressure because 1
of the weakness in other grains and 1
accumulating stocks. Locals and 1
commission houses were on the sell- I
ing side, and support was limited to <
resting orders. »
Oats were l%c to l%c lower. De- <
cember, 52%c to 52%c; May, 56%c
to 56%c; July, 54c. 1
Provisions opened lower in sym- i
pathy with hogs and grain. On the
break packers bought liberally of.
nearby deliveries of lard, and this
started a buying movement which
carried that product to new high
levels of the season. Realizing sales
caused some reaction in the later
trading.
Lard closed 57%c hig'her to 2%c
lower; ribs, 12%c Higher, and bellies t
47%c lower to 2%c higher. i
Local cash sales were 45,000 bush- i
els of wheat; 70,000 bushels of corn; I
156,000 bushels of oats, including 1
25,000 bushels to exporters, and 8,000 i
bushels of barley. i
The seaboard reported 1,000,000 t
bushels of wheat and 300,000 bushels ;
of rye taken for export. Vessel I
room was chartered for 250,000 bush
els of wheat to Buffalo. i

WASHINGTON. Oct. 18.—The
campaign fund raised by the Demo
cratic patty to date was given as
j $300,000 in a statemen't issued today
Iby the Democratic national com
mittee.
I The statement declared it was the
I expectation to increase this amount
:to $1,500,600, “at the outside."
No details of i-olledions or ex
' penditures were given.
i Coupled with the annotincemert
| was an analysis of the Republican
collect bins as shown bv testimonx
before the senate campaign expend!
tures commiltte in Chicago, includ
ing a list of the corporations with
which some of '.lie heaviest Republi
can contributors are connected.
Reference also was made to the
While House announcement of yes
terday that. President Coolidge was
gratified at th emanner in which the
financial affairs of the Republican
campaign had been conducted. The
Democratic statement, then called
attention to the circular soliciting
Republican donations recently circu
lated in Massachusetts, and contin
ued:
"Is it to place his seal of approval
on this clear evasion of the spirit
of the law that President Coolidge
breaks his wonted silence?”
’’ls it upon the shaking down of a
Colorado beet sugar corporation
through the SIO,OOO contribution by
its president, A. F. Carlton, that Mr.
Coolidge sets his seal of approval?
“Let us consider the specific case
of Mr. Carlton. Lt is typical of the
dig list of beneficiaries of Republic
i.an special privilege and favoritism.
Mr. Carlton is president of the Hollv
Sugar corporation, which owns four
beet sugar factories in California,
three in Colorado and one in Wyom
ing. William V. Hodges, treasurer
of the Republican national commit
ted, is general counsel for the Holly
Sugar corporation. Hodges appeared
before the tariff commission on be
half of the Holly corporation and
filed a brief opposing any reduction
in the present excessive duty on
sugar.
“The Holly corporation is among
several that have been ordered by
the federal trade commission to
cease certain practices in lestiaint
of trade and competition.
“As a result of the Borah commit
tee’s hearings, the Republicans con
fess to a campaign fund already col
lected aggregating $1,700,000, apd
expect to add to this sum $1,300,000
more. The largest amount ever ex
pended by the Democratic national
committee in a presidential cam
paign was $2,100,000 in 1916, which
included a big deficit. This year the
Democrats have raised to date $300,-
000, which at outside it expects to
increase ,to $1,500.000."
Cotton Abandonment
Ftgifres to Be Published
With Bureau Report
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.—Secre
tary Wallace has authorized the crop
reporting board to release cotton
abandonment figures collected by the
Jjoard this year, for publication Oc
tober 25 as a supplement to the
regular crop report issued on that
date. The figures will show aban
donment between June 25 and Au
gust 16, and between June 25 and
September 16.
It was announced also today that
in the October 25 forecast, consider
ation will be given not only to the
pars, but also to the estimates of
probable yield per avre, which are
being secured from its correspond
ents, the quantity of cotton ginned
to October 18, and all other known
factors.
The decision to release the aban
donment figures is in response to a
widespread demand for such *a. re
port. The board points out. how
ever, that it hasxalready taken into
consideration the .question of aban
donment in making its forecasts dur
ing the. season and will continue to
do so in its remaining reports. Aban
donment, therefore, is already dis
counted in the forecasts.
The abandonment figures will be
published without interpretation by
the crop board, inasmuch as there
is no comparable data as of the
same dates for previous years. The
ten-year average abandonment, as
reported by correspondents on De
cember first in previous years, will
also be given. The board points out
that in making comparison between
the figures for this year and pre
vious years, the figures for this year
relate to abandonment: between
June 25 and August 16, and between
June 25 and September 16, whereas
the figures of the reported average
abandonment for previous years
cover the period between June 25
and December 1.
Senator Lodge Won’t
Retire Before Term

BOSTON, Oct. 18. —A report that
Senator Lodge, who submitted to an
operation recently, would retire be
fore the expiration of his term be

probability, will be in Washington,
late this autumn, according to rela
tives. although at present the date
for a second operation, said by
physicians to be necessary, has not
been determined. This will be a
minor matter, it is said.
Senator Lodge's say “his
progress and his physical strength
are exceptional," according to the

POSTMASTER WHO SERVES
2 PATRONS-DEMANDS RAISE
V ' A®' I
LA J
Searsburg’s postoffice and old Ned Bartlett. 72, who threatens to
quit unless his SIOO-a-year salary is raised $2. Inset are S. W.
Leonard and his wife, who have held the jobs of town clerk, treasurer,
constable, tax collector and school trustee at Somerset, but who ha\e
decided to move away.
Half of City Officials of
Somerset, Vermont Leave
Place Flatj Both of Them
Complaining of Salaries
SOMERSET, Vt., Oct. IS.—Even
Babylon, Tyre and Carthage fell—
and this town of Somerset is slipping
fast.
The other day almost all of the
city officials and politicians depart
ed —both of them.
It lost half of its voters —both ot
them.
The town clerk, the city treasurer,
the constable, the tax collector and
the school trustee have all quit—
both of them.
In other words Mr. and Mrs. S. W.
Leonard are moving.
And, as though that weren’t bad
enough, Ned Bartlett, the postmas
ter, h is demanded a $2-a-year raise
and . c ays he’ll quit if he doesn’t get it.
Nobody in the neighborhood can
figure out vvh it Ned’s kicking about.
He gets SIOO a year now.
If he leaves there’ll be only two
voters left—Mr. and Mrs. John Tay
lor. And there are but two pupils
left for the school.
Yes, Somerset is fast skidding.
Two years ago this community had
ten legal voters. The Chamber of
Commerce, emulating Los Angeles,
advertised a nopulation of 12.
The postoffice is located over the
mountain at Searsburg. serving the
daily stage coa’h and several small
communities.
The one encouraging fact is that
Fistmaster Bartlett is public-spirit
ed and patient. In spite of his
withheld $2-a-year raise and the
demonstrated ingratitude of the re
public. he still is on the job, as in
dicated by the notice in his own
handwriting tacked on the office
door. It says:
“If you don’t sec the postmaster,
holler!"
Just tell Bartlett that a man can’t
live on two dollars a week and he
will laugh at y >u
“Well,” he explains, in his quaint
drawl ‘you see I don’t have to keep
up a marble building like some of
the other postmasters do. I ain’t
got any clerks and there’s onl.y me
to feed!
"I don’t ask much off of the world.
I don’t eat meat. j’m a vegetarian,
I am, and 1 have a little garden that
,1 tend to. I keep well on fruits,
grain and Over thar
on the mountain side I got quite a
little space o’ ground and I live sim
ple, just as the Lord intended.
"Now this suit I j. ot on: the pants

Texas Supreme Court
Refuses to Rule Off
Mrs. Ferguson’s Name
. AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 18.—An in
junction to prohibit the name of
Ml's. Miriam A. Ferguson, Demo
cratic candidate for governor in
Texas, from going on the ballots,
was denied by the Texas supreme
court today. The court also held
that Mrs. Ferguson was qualified in
every way to hold office, if elected,
The question was before the su
preme court from the third court of
civil appeals. The higher court held
that Charles M. Dickson, of San An
tonio, . the plaintiff seeking the in
junction, was not authorized by
statute to bring the suit, and also
that ths district court was without
jurisdiction.
On all the objections urged by the
plaintiff that Mrs. Ferguson was not
qualified to hold the office of gover
nor. the higher court ruled she was.
The decision covers thirty-three
pages.
The high court overruled Judge
George C. Calhoun, of the district
court, on two point's of jurisdiction.
On all other points they sustained
him.
The third court of civil appeals
certified six questions to the supreme
court, the first two dealing with the
jurisdiction and the plaintiff’s right
to bring the proceedings. The re
maining four dealt with Mrs. Fer
guson's eligibility.
The questions were:
Did the district court err in hold
ing it had jurisdiction over the case?
Did the court err in holding the
plaintiff as a private citizen had suf
ficient interest to permit him to
bring the suit?
is Mrs. Ferguson ineligible because
of her sex?
Is Mrs. Ferguson ineligible because
of her married status.
Is Mrs. Ferguson ineligible because
she is the wife of James E. Fergu
son? ;
Does the record establish as a mat
ter of law that Mr. Ferguson is the
real candidate, and that the use of
his wife’s name a subterfuge?
On the first two the court said
yes, on the others, no.

HARRIS AT CAPITOL
FOR A CONFERENCE
ON PENSIONS POST
Former Governor Nat E. Harris,
of Macon, who has been tendered the
office of state pension commissioner,
to fill the unexpired term of the
late Major C. E. McGregor, went
to Governor Walker’s office to con
fer with the chief executive about
the appointment Saturday morning,
but Governor Walker was in Au
gusta to attend a football game.
Governor Harris will probably an
nounce Monday whether he intends
to accept the appointment.
Governor Harris corrected a state
ment that had been attributed to
him by an out-of-town newspaper to
the effect that he might accept the
appointment “solely for the purpose
of ending the assignment of con
victs to the Confederate, Soldiers’
home.”
"While I am opposed to the as
signing of convicts to the Confed
erate Soldiers’ home, I would not
for a moment consider accepting the
office that the governor has so gra
ciously offered me, with the abso
lute purpose in view of abolishing
that system, even though I do ,not
approve of it." he said.
“If I decide to accept the ap
pointment, I will endeavor to per
form my duties to the best of my
ability, and if I am questioned by
the board of trustees concerning the
system of placing convicts at the
Soldiers’ home, I will let the board
know exactly where I stand. There
fore, the statement that I would, if
I accepted the appointment, do so
for the sole purpose of making a
fight against such a system as now
employed, is entirely erroneous.”
Modern Youth Freed
Os Religious Dogma,
Says Charles W. Eliot
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 18.—
The modern youth, in this, “the
happiest age the world has ever
known,” does not believe in the cre
ation in the Garden of Eden, accord
! ing to Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard university.
At a, lecture on religious concepts
here, Dr. Eliot said: e -
"I believe that the modern youth
rejects most of the tenets, dogmas
and beliefs of the past. He does
not believe in the creation in the
Garden of Eden, nor does he believe
in the least in the total depravity
of mankind as given in the ordinary
creeds and dogmas. He
has rejected those things. His mind
is free from them.
"One of the most cheerful signs
with regard to the progress of man
kind is this new tendency in youth
to take a liberal, open-minded view
of religion and its hopes, and of
their own hopes; to realize that this
is the happiest age the world has
ever known; to feel, as they grow
up and go out into life, that this
is the fairest field into which any
generation has ever entered. The
joy the modern youth has is in the
prospect of a happiness and power
and influence which no other gen
eration has possessed.”
The old conflict between science
and religion is disappearing both
because scientific methods approach

Don’t Believe Prohi
Laws Are a Failure,
Woman Official Says
KANSAS >CITY, Oct. 18.—Mrs.
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant
attorney general of the United
States, in an address here yesterday
before the Twentieth Century Re
publican club, urged more severe
penalties for prohibition violators.
“Prohibition enforcement never#
ran be ‘Coueied’ on the country, but
I don't believe the enforcement of
any law can be booed out of the
country, either,” she declared.
"Don't let anyone tell you prohi-
I bit ion enforcement has failed unless
he can prove to you that all the en
forcement machinery has been used
to its maximum. Enforcement will
be much more effective, however,
when its penalties are made com
mensurate with the penalties for vio
lations of other types of laws.”
