Tri-Weekly Market Reports
COTTON
NEW YORK, Nov. 6. —The cotton '
market opened today at a decline
of 7 to 26 points because of rela- j
tively easy Liverpool cables and a
private Report pointing to a crop
of 13,000,000 bales. Considerable
Liverpool and southern selling was
absorbed by covering and trade buy
ing and the market soon turned up
ward, January advancing from 23.01
to 23.35 in the first hour. The out
look for a cold wave in the south
west probably contributed to the ad
vance but the chief factor appeared
to be .the optimistic view of trade
prospects and reports that spinners
were buying on the decline.
Offerings increased sufficently to
check the advance around 23.35 for
January or about 8 points above yes
terday’s closing. A little more hedge
selling was reported but the volume
of business tapered off and the late
forenoon market was quiet, apparent
ly awaiting Saturday’s government
report. January worked down to
23.12 or about 23 points from the
highest, under realizing with the gen
eral list showing net declines of
about 10 to 15 points, at midday.
General business remained quiet
•but reports of firmness in the spot
market brought in a little buying.
The mid-afternoon market was
steady with January ruling around
23.20 at 2 , o’clock when active
months were about 4 to 7 points net
lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6.—The
cotton market had an easier open
ing despite Liverpool was about as
due. First trades showed declines
of 8 to 12 points. The decline was
attributed to hedge selling and to
a forecast by a prominent author
ity of a crop of 13,000,000 bales. The
same authority claimed 85 per cent
of the crop had been picked and 70
per cent ginned. The market ral
lied on map indications of colder and
possibly rainy weather and on an
official forecast for unsettled and
colder in the western part of the
belt. December and January traded
up to 23.15 and March to 23.38. or
6 to 9 points above the previous
close.
After December had traded as high
as 23.20 and March 23.46 around the
middle of the morning, mainly on
fears of unsettled and colder weather
in the near future, the market turned
easier. The reaction was largely due
to realizing and liquidating in ad
vance of the government reborts due
Saturday. All months but Decem
ber made new lows. January traded
at 22.93 and March at 23.17, or 15
points below the previous close. The
market was quiet around noon. A
prominent Texas authority estimat
ed the crop at 12,263,000 bales and
the Texas crop at 4,151,000.
The market ruled very quiet dur
ing the most of the afternoon, but
prices were steady fluctuating nar
rowly within the earlier range but
nearer the highs. Prices seem stab.l
ized for the time being around 23.08
for December and January. Ex
ports for the day totaled 16,567 bales.

THE ATLANTA TKJI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
CHICAGO, (Thursday) Nov. 6.->
’ Wheat continued its upward trend
j today. There was an interruption
early in the session but this was
disposed of by heavy buying for ex
port account. Corn was helped by
the action of wheat, although that
market was inclined to drag for a
good part of the morning session.
Oats had an upward trend. Pro
visions recovered after an early
break, because of the rally in corn.
Bullish enthusiasm shows no weak
ening in the wheat trade. The mar
ket started sharply higher on mod
erate buying credited to exporters
and light offerings. On the advance
some of yesterday’s buyers showed a
disposition to take profit and this
caused a setback but the excellent
support uncovered around previous
closing levels made the early sellers
want to buy their wheat back. This
feeling was intensified about mid
session when houses with Seaboard
connection and northwest interests
bid up prices in order to get some
wheat. Advices from New York were
conflicting but it was believed'that
a good sized export business was
put through. Eastern mills bought
about 200,000 bushels of wheat from
local shippers. Weather continues
favorable for the new crop but pre
cipitation is needed in parts. Pri
mary movement is beginning to show
a let-up.
Wheat closed J 1-4 to 3 l-4c high
er. December $1.47 to $1.47 1-8;
Mav $1.52 1-4 to $1.52 3-8; July
$1.35 7-8.
Local buying and light offerings
gave corn a higher start but the
advance was dissipated in a few min
utes under selling for eastern ac
count. The market acted heavy most
of the morning but about mid-ses
sion the strength in wheat as well as
the advance in the cash market in
duce® increased investment buying
and higher prices resulted. Ship
pers are short cash corn and their
efforts to fill their wants resulted
in the advance in the spot market.
Receipts are disappointly light.
Country showed no disposition to
market their new crop.
Corn closed 1-8 to l-2c higher. De
cember $1.07 5-8 to $1.07 1-2; May
sl.ll 1-4 to .sl.ll 1-8; July $1.12.
Oats showed firmness from the
start. Prices had a little reaction
but the market moved up quickly un
der commission house buying. A fall
ing off in the receipts is encouraging
bulls to replace lines recently liqui
dated. Shipping demand for oats
is only fair.
Oats were 3-4 to 1 1-8; higher. De
cember 54 1-8 to 54 1-4; May 56; July
54 1-8.
Provisions broke sharply at the
opening. The slump in Liverpool
lard, the decline in hogs and the
easy tone in corn were depressing
factors. Later the rally in corn caus
ed buying and the market had a
slight recovery.
Lard closed unchanged to 12 1-2
cents lower and bellies 5 to 42 l-2c
higher. No trade in ribs.
Local cash sales were 206,000 bush
els of wheat; 72.0Q0 bushels of corn,
57,000 bushels of oats, and 5,000 bush
els of barley.
The seaboard reported 400,000
bushels of wheat taken for export.

BULLET MELS
FASTER ™ SOUND
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN
WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 7.—ls
a man is shot and instantly killed by
a bullet from a heavy automatic re
volver in a room of average size
does he heard the noise made by the
discharge of the weapon? Or if he
is shot and instantly killed at long
range—say half a mile —by a bullet
from a high-power rifle, does he hear
the noise of the gun?
Obviously the victim in either
case never will furnish the testi
mony that might he accepted as con
clusive, or at least he will be unable
to do so until more efficient com
munication is established with the
spirit world. However, experts in
ballistics assert unhesitatingly that
the answer to each question is a
negative—in both instances the bul
let travels faster than the sound of
the gun that-projected it.
This is determined by a simple
calculation, for sound travels at the
rate of 1,100 feet per second, while
the speed of a bullet is appreciably
faster for the first 3,000 feet or so
of its range. How much faster va
ries according to the initial velocity,
the explosive charge, and other fac
tors, but it is said that the bullet
from any high-power rifle will beat
the sound of the gun for distances
up to three-fifths of a mile.
Beyond that the bullet slows down
until the sound of the gun catches
up with it and then outstrips it,
which means ranges at which the
victim might hear the crack of the
rifle that kills him.
Hero Feels Sting First
However, it seems that few fiction
writers are e.xperts in exterior bal
listics, for when they tell of the
shooting of their characters they al
most invariably have the sound of
the gun preceding the impact of the
bullet, even at comparatively close
ranges where this would be utterly
impossible. How often de we read
that the hero “heard th© sharp crack
of a rifle and the next instant felt a
stinging sensation in his shoulder,”
or “heard the crash of the automatic
and the next instant consciousness
was obliterated,” or some such ex
pressions?
Does a Bullet Hiss Or Sing?
They are all wrong about that,
just as most of them are that de
pict the sound a bullet makes in its
flight. According to the authors of
the stirring tales that feature shoot
ing, a moving bullet makes almost
every conceivable sound. Inspection
of a dozen such stories is said to
have revealed the surprising ver
satility of a bullet in that it is vari
ously described as singing, hissing,
humming, whining, droning, howl
ing, shrieking, whistling, crashing,
whispering, buzzing, and what not
Just what kind of a noise a
speeding bullet does make is told by
Captain E. C. Crossman in an ar
ticle in Outers’ Recreation. He says
that it is a sharp crack, somewhat
like that of an effectively manipu
lated bull-whip.
Battlefield observation is not, as
a rule, very reliable, according to
this authority, but a bullet does not
change its sound because of being
used in battle, and, therefore, if bat
tlefield conditions as to range are
duplicated, with the addition of en
tire knowledge of missile, distance
and other factors, it is possible to
make accurate observations and ar
rive at sound conclusions.
“Our work at the army small
arms ballistic station in which keen
observation at the receiving end of
the bullet flight was as important
as intelligent gun-laying at the fir
ing end,” says Captain Crossman,
“permitting much data as to bullet
noise at the various ranges.
“About the most definite proof
that most of our fiction gentlemen
get their firearms knowledge from
reading other fiction, or possibly
from cursory talks with gun store
clerks, is the fact that not one of
them ever mentions the most char
acteristic sound of the modern bul
let. The man who has had a long
blacksnake whip cracked violently
three feet from his ears would
never describe the sound as a hum
or a whisper nor yet a howl.
Vacuum Causes Cracking Noise
“Modern cartridges drive their
bullets fast enough to create a par
tial vacuum at the base, and the
air, rushing in. makes a sharp
crack, most nearly described by the
vicious cracking of a long and well
handled whip.’’
Experiments at Miami
One of the most illustrative exam- I
pies of this noise, explains the cap- i
tain, lay in the erosion firing done (
at Miami to determine the life of ma
chine-gun barrels with various types
of powder. The gun was laid to drop
the bullets into the water at the
2,000-meter mark, one and a quarter
miles from the gun, and in front of i
the observation tower. Sitting on 1
the upper platform of the tower the :
officers observing could watch the '
strike of the burst, estimate its
length, and accurately tell when the i
machine-gun barrel was wearing out. I
The firing of the gun was always ;
first announced, the observers found, I
by a sharp rattle in. the receiver of .
the field telephone set on the plat- j
form with them, sounding much as |
if someone were ringing in on the
line.
The next announcement of the
coming of the bullets was a thin,
sharp crackling noise from the air
between the observers and the gun
following the first rattle in the tele
phone with an interval at about 5
seconds. Almost on the heels of the
first of the crackling noises came
the bullets. with their thudding
splashes into the water fifty yards
away. An irstant later, but imper-

GILLETTE. AFTER 32 YEARS
IN HOUSE, GOES TO SENATE
AS “SPOKESMAN” OF PARK
, Fr iendship With President to
Give Massachusetts Lead
er Status of “White
House” Representative
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Copyi'iglit, 1924, by the Consolidated Press
Association—Special Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—While all
! the election returns are not yet in,
enough has been heard from the
i great open spaces to indicate that
' Washington is to have a mighty in
teresting new crop of senators after
March 4, next.
j No less than three of the new
j solons are veterans of the World
' war. One of the “wounded in ac
; lion ' "nd possibly destined to be
i “inissiii o ’ also is a World war vet
• eran—Colonel Brookhart, of lowa.
' The count may yet show that the
colonel has been defeated by a young
fellow who enlisted in the late 1111-
' pleasantness as a private and came
out a captain.
In point of long and distinguished
public service the new crop of elder
statesmen naturally is headed by
Fred H. Gillett, of Massachusetts,
' who graduates from the house of rep
' resentatives after sixteen consecu
-1 fives terms, or thirty-two years as
a member of that body—a record
no other member can claim.
He has gone through all the roles
i in the houses from cub member to
1 speaker. He has long been the friend
I of presidents, and was a constant
1 golfing companion of Messrs. Taft
I and Harding. Mr. Harding was par
i ticularly fend of Gillett, although,
I on the surface, the two appeared to
have nothing in common—Gillett be
ing of a typical New England fam
ily while Harding had the tolerance
and the breadth of good fellowship
typical of the middlewest.
To Senate at 73
Gillett goes to the senate late in
life. He is seventy-three and his
term will continue for six years. A
wiry little fellow, with close clipped,
gray-streaked beard, he ■ carries his
years lightly indeed. If golf has
helped him in that respect it ought
to oe taken up by the multitudes.
President Coolidge is tremendouslj'
fond of Gillett in his calm, cool way.
There is no chance that the two
will golf together, but the man from
Massachusetts will be regarded from
the very first as the White House
spokesman in the upper branch of
congress. He and Mr. Coolidge have
minds that go along closely together.
Another interesting figure in the
senate is sure to be “Tom” Schall, of
Minnesota, who killed the giant Mag
nus Johnson, and cut short the lat
ter’s picturesque career here in the
national capitol.
Mr. Schall is blind. Ho lost his
sight through an electric ahock, his
case being one of the strangest on
record.
Mr. Schall will be the second blind
senator Washington has known, the
ether being Gore, of Oklahoma. He
has been in the house of representa
tives for five terms, and while a
faithful follower of the G. O. P., has
I had little chance to show initiative.
He has been chairman of the commit
tee on flood control and a member of
the committees on alcoholic liquor
traffic, rules and expenditures in the
department of justice. The rules
membership is a particularly en
viable one.
Two Natives of Providence
Oddly enough, the election jumble
brings two natives of Providence, R.
1., to the senate at the same time
from widely separated constituencies.
Jessie Houghton Metcalf, who was
ceptible in its delay, says Captain
Crossman, came thr dull, heavy,
thudding grumble of the machine
gun. Wherefore, even at this long
range where the bullet is steadily
losing out in its race with sound,
the first notification of being undei’
fire would come from the high, thin
crackle of the buliets; not from any
sound of the gun.
The captain also says that the bul
let does not make any crackling
noise after it falls in velocity to
about 1,400 feet a second and the
sound first comes from a bullet
which had taken about 2.2 seconds to
reach its practically noiseless point.
The boat-tail bullet requires from
five and one-half to six seconds to
travel 2,000 meters, hence the slight
interval between sound and bullet ar
rival. At longer ranges the bullet
arrives still farther behind its own
sound, while at shorter range the
bullet arrives slightly ahead of it.
“The gun noise, of course, came at
the rate of 1,100 feet per second.”
says Captain Crossman, “arriving
perceptibly behind bullet noise. At
longei’ ranges it would arrive before
the bullet—which the average fiction
writer thinks is true at short range,
but it is not.
“At 1.000 yards the coming of such
a bullet is announced by the very
sharp and vicious characteristic
crack of the high velocity bullet. The
noise of the gun comes after it with
an interval of about one second. The
observer hears distinctly ‘pack
punk!’ to testify that a high velocity
bullet has passed close by him. The
noise of the gun is merely a dull
heavy thudding sort of a sound.
“Even at 200 yards the sound in
terval can easily be distinguished
between bullet and gun noise.”
born in Rhode Island in 1860 and re
mained there, conies as a new sena
tor from the plantations state.
Frederick M. Sackett, who was
born in Providence in 1868, went
“west” as a young man and now
comes to Washington as a Republic
an senator from the Blue Grass com
monwealth of Old Kentucky.
Mr. Metcalf is a woolen manufac
turer and financier and it is safe to
say that “Schedule K’’ will find a
friend in him. After private toutor
ing Mr. Metcalf attended Yorkshire
college. England. He has long been
prominent in the business world of
Providence and once served in the
state house of representatives. He
is an enthusiastic sportsman, being
particularly keen about yachting and
golf.
Mr. Sackett, a dignified, high bred
Yankee from Rhode Island, trans
planted to Kentucky; a Harvard man
in a Centre college atmosphere; a
stalwart Republican in a state usual
ly counted upon as Democratic, has
the distinction of having defeated
one of Kentucky's favorite sons and
favorite orators, Augustus Owsley
Stanley.
Migrating to Kentucky qfter leav
ing college, Mr. Sackett began by
practicing law and soon developing
into a coal baron. He married Miss
Olive Speed, daughter of Joshua
Speed, millionaire mine owner and
descendant of Lincoln’s attorney gen
eral.
Mr. Sackett had no difficulty in
taking his place in the social and
public life of the south. During the
war he was food administrator. He
has never been known as much of a
politician, but an engaging personal
ity made him very popular in the
circles into which he moved. He
will have to leave many business in
terests behind when he takes his
place in the senate.
From Tennessee comes Brigadier
General Lawrence D. Tyson to serve
under Brigadier General Charles G.
Dawes' as presiding officer of the
senate. General Tyson, however,
will not be Dawes’ political side.
He is a Democrat and he defeated
Senator Shields after a hot fight
in the primaries. General Tyson is
a native of North Carolina, a gradu
ate of West Point of the class of
1883. He served in the regular army,
in the Spanish-American war and
again in the Word war, commanding
the 59th brigade of the Thirtieth divi
sion. While not in the army, Gen
eral Tyson has practised law and en
gaged in the manufacturing busi
ness. He is now also the owner of
the Knoxville Sentinel and thinks
he is going to like the newspaper
business.
Blease From Carolina
Cole Blease, of South Carolina,
whose named is pronounced “Coley”
by his friends, comes to the senate
with the idea in his heart that may
be he will prove as picturesque as
“Pitchfork” Ben Tillman. Blease
certainly has a colorful personality
and his “come back” in politics has
been one of the features of the cam
paign just closed.
While governor of South Carolina
for two years, “Coley” always w r as
in hot water or getting some hot for
the other fellow. He paroled about
1,650 murderers, burglars and other
violators of the law, and one day
issued a proclamation saying he had
pardoned 1,000 of the paroled men
in one batch.
In 1915 he got into a controversy'
with Washington over the status of
the South Carolina national guard.
During the “hostilities” he called
Secretary of War Garrison a “pug
nosed little Yankee,” and referred to
Secretary of the Navy Daniels as a
“very small man.”
It had been claimed by the enemies
of Blease that he disregarded the
state constitution at will, that he
took the attitude of “what is the
constitution between friends?”
