COTTON I
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The cotton
market opened steady today at un
changed prices to an advance of
eleven points on covering and Liv
' erpool buying promoted by the.
Steady ruling of the English mar
ket. January sold tip ro 22.1)0, and
March to 23.28, or eight to nine
joints net higher on the early de
mand, but prices soon turned easier ,
under commission house realizing or.
liquidation. The latter was sup- 1
posed to be partly due to disappoint- 1
i ment over the failure of demand
to develop more rapidly in the cot
ton goods market. Selling was re
stricted, however, by claims of a
firm spot siaution in the south. Janu
ary sold off to 22.77 and March to
23.15, active months ruling about
two to six points net lower at the
end of the first hour.
The market turned easier after the
Initial demand had been absorbed as
a result of renewed liquidation and
some local selling accompanied by
talk of a less satisfactory tone in the
stock market. Prices eased off to
22.66 for January and 23.06 for
March, or about 14 to 15 points net]
lower and the market was within 4
oi 5 points of this level at midday
with trading quiet, but the tone
rather unsettled.
The midday decline was checked
by a little more buying below the
23 1-2 cent level for May and after
selling off to 23.45 to that position
to that steadied on covering. At 2
o’clock prices were ruling around 1
22.78 for January and 23.50 for May ]
or about 3 to 5 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 11.—The
cotton market opened quiet, but
steady, with little disposition to
trade. As Liverpool was better than
expected, first trades showed small
gains and January advanced to 23.18
right after the call; March traded at
23.22, and May at 23.45. After this
small gain of 8 to 10 points the mar
ket turned easier, and soon was
trading 1 to 2 points below yester
day’s close.
The market continued to rule dull
all morning with narrow price move
ment. Values eased off on a rumor
of a Wall street house being in trou
ble and prices declined 23 to 25
points. There was some recovery
i later on a denial of the Wall street
rumor which arose from the dis
ciplining of a firm tor violation of
the stock exchange rules. Spot ad
vices were more encouraging, a good
demand being reported locally. Near
roon prices were 8 to 11 points above
the lows of the morning. Galveston
exported today 27,093 bales.
The market ruled quiet during the
pfternoon and prices fluctuated nar
rowly within the earlier range, but
showed a tendency to improve. New
| York advices indicated some change
of sentiment in favor of the long
Side. Such changes as prices devel
oped were upward, January trading
at 23.1 and March at 13.15, or with
in 4 to 5 points of the nearly highs,
and 3 to 8 points above the previous
close. May made a new high to
wards the middle of the afternoon
at 23.48, or 11 points net up. Ex
ports for the day were large, total
ing 53,697 bales from all American
ports. Freight room bookings for
the balance of December are report
ed to be heavy.

Reports are beginning to >in<> n of ef

to the fact that it is now selling under the
cost of production.

EKLY JOURNAL
SENATE TO KEEP
SHOALS ffllF IIP
UNTIL DISPOSED OF
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.—The sen
ate agreed unanimously today to
hold the Muscle Shoals issue before
the senate until disposed and allow
consideration of the Isle of 1 lues
I treaty to follow immediately.
Consideration of amendments to
the Underwood bill again was
m order in the senate today with
leaders expressing hope of speeding
progress ot the measure to permit
a final vote before the end of the
week , ~ , ,
The first amendment to the Under
wood bill, now under consideration,
before the senate today, was one of
fered by Senator McKellar, winch
would authorize the secretary of wai
to regulate rate charges on power
produced ;.t Muscle Shoals.
The amendment was voted down
by a viva voce vote.
Chairman Norris, of the senate
agricultural committee. declared
that, although he opposed the Un
derwood bill, if it. is to be adopted,
lie wished to present an amendment
to make it “less harmful” than it
is.
His amendment would strike out
from Section 4 the fertilizer provi
sion of the bill, the words, “as far
as it is practicable to do so. in tne
manufacture of commercial terti
lizers.” The bill as it stands he
said, would give the lessee an op
portunity to stop making fertilizer
if he had demonstrated its manu
facture was not practical.
The amendment also would strike
out of the provision the words, “ac
cording to demand.” Senator Nor
ris said his amendment was neces
sary to clarity the bills intent, lhe
senate must decide, he asserted, H
it wishes to require Hie production
of fertilizer at Muscle Shoals wheth
er or not it is manufactured at a
loss of profit.
Senator Underwood, in opposing
the Norris amendment, declared the
chief aim of his bill was for the
production of powder for national
defense and cheap fertilizer tar tne
farmer if it can be produced, and
he would not consent to tying the
lessee’s hands as the Norris amend
ment would do.
Underwood Compromises
Senators Underwood and Norris
reached a compromise on the floor
on the Norris amendment and by
unanimous consent Section 4 of the
Underwood bill was amended l>.\
striking out of the provision of the
fertilizer clause the words: “As far
as it is practical to do’ and the
words “according to demand.” This
would make the section provide that
nitrogen not neded tor national de
fense be used “in the manufacture
of commercial fertilizer.”
Senator Underwood introduced an
amendment to his bill which he said
had been suggested by the chief of
engineers. The amendment would
authorize the secretary of war to
complete “the necessary approach
to locks in Dam No. 2.”
It was adopted by unanimous con
sent. Another amendment intro
duced by Senator Underwood would
require that future funds for the
maintenance of Muscle Shoals come
out of appropriations for rivers and [
harbors. I
Chairman Wadsworth, of the mil
itary affairs committee, declared he ]
saw no reason for changing the sys
tem of appropriations.
Senator Underwood replied the
amendment was not his own, adding
that “it came from the govern
ment," but he approved the gov-1
ernment’s suggestion.
Would Finish Dam Now
Senator Norris declared that Dam
No. 1 should be constructed now
while the government has its ma
chinery and men on the scene. He
explained that the dam was neces
sary solely for navigation but if it
was not built to enable boats to get
over the shoals below Dam No. 2, or
all of the improvement made by
Dam No. 2 and No. 3 would be use
less from a navigation standpoint.
Senator McKellar. Democrat. Ten
nessee. charged that the Alabama
company could lease MusMe Shoals
under the Underwood bill on better
terms than the power company itself
has offered.
“It would be infinitely better,” the
Tennessee senator declared, “to ac
cept the bid of the Alabama Power
company.
“I do not believe from the past
performances of the Alabama Pow
er company that they would reduce
either the price of power or fer
tilizer if they got the Muscle Shoals
property.”
Having so far turned back all at
tacks on the bill by obtaining the
rejection of amendments which he
opposed, Senator Underwood, Demo
crat, of Alabama, its author, at the
same time has been supported by
the adoption without a record vote
of all amendments he favored.
Some opponents of the Underwood
bill joined with its supporters today
in predicting passage of the meas
ure this week and Senator Under
wood himself expressed optimism
over the outlook.
Congressional leaders. however,
see little prospect of final enactment
of Muscle Shoals legislation until
well after the first of the year. Its
passage by the senate, they point
out, would send it to the house,
where, if reported out after refer
ence to a committee, it probably
would carry amendments which, if
adopted by the house, would result
in its being sent to conference. Both
bodies then would have to adopt the
conference report.
Chairman Norris, ot the senate
•griculture committee. plans to
make a final effort to block passage
of the Underwood measure, which he
steadfastly opposed oy introducing
a new Muscle Shoals bill as an
amendment to the Underwood bill.

or liberty.”
Try to conceal it as she may, Em
ma Goldman is deeply homesick for
America. She feels herself a wom
an without a country. She uprooted
herself from Russia., the land of her
birth, when she migrated to Amer
ica. She was uprooted in 1919 again
when our government deported her
Lack to Russia.
Soviet Russia disappointed, embit
tered and disillusioned her. She got
away as soon as she could. She
tried Sweden, Germany, France, but
rone satisfied her. Now she is liv
ing temporarily in England. Hei
preoccupation with the United
States crops out constantly in her
talk. She refers to herself as an
“American.” She speaks of New
York as “home.’’ She says proudly
that her people gave America doc
tors. lawyers, thinkers.
“Red Emma.” Wears No Red
“And in the battle line in France,”
she says defiantly, “There died in
American uniform the greatest vio
linist ever produced—David Hoch
stein. He was my nephew.”
Come see “Red Emma.” the fire
brand revolutionary, as she appears
in London. She is surrounded by
books. On the table is a spray’ of
white lilacs sent her from southern
France. Before her is a. samovar
with hot tea. She is dressed in
simple black and wears a blue shawl.
Her brown hair is graying, but her
blue eyes still flash fire. If you
didn't know who she was. you would
take her for a grandmotherly body.
“What do I want to do in Eng
land? In the first place I want to
read quietly in the British museum
and prepare data for a book I have
in mind concerning women and
their part in creative revolution. In
the back of my mind, too, 1 have a
plan for a little volume about the
most modern Russian writers. Ope
of them, Alexander Blok, was not
i r.ly the greatest poet of this era;
lie. was starved to death by the
Soviets.
“And the big thing I want to do
is to lecture on Russia as it is to
day. If I take the platform I am
going to attack the Bolsheviki ruth
lessly. The.v are not the Russian
revolution. They are the enemies of
the revolution. They misrepresent
the revolution. Soviet Russia has
substituted the tyrannv of Trotzky
and Kameneff for lhe tyranny of the
czars.
“In place of the cruelties of the
Okhrana, the dreaded secret police,
of the czars, we have the dreaded
cruelties of the. Che-ka, the Soviet
police. If anything there, is less
liberty of thought in Russia now
than there was in the days of the
czars.
"In making searing attacks upon
these people 1 am not playing the
game of capitalist governments. I
am playing the game of revolution
ary truth. The Soviets, as consti
tuted, are totally misrepresentat'ive
ct the deep human desires of the
Russian moujiks who, though un
eoucated in book learning, are fun
damentally among the most capable
people tn the world. Anarchist
philosophy—the kind I tried to
preach in America —has always been
misrepresented in the press. In its
essence it means the purest form of
co-operation, where people are free
and where there is no state compul
sion. That is the vision the Bolshe
viki have betrayed.
“You ask me about a statement i
made the other night at the banquet
in my honor. I said I had been
approached regarding my possible
return to the United States, but that
I had said once for all that if 1 re
turned I would not return on any
terms whatsoever. Dbn't misunler
stand. The government officially
made no such advances. But people
did come to see me to feel out how
I felt about it.
If She, Came Back to U. S.
“If I came back to America I
would most certainly try to take up
my life where J left it off. I woula
write. I would talk. But there
would be some changes. Life and
actual experience have taught us
revolutionists something. You see
none of us had ever been in a real
revolution.
"It took actual experience in Rus
sia to teach us what we had forgot
ten —that it is easier to destroy, to
tear down, than to build up. In
Russia the people tore down the old
monarchy. But they have not been
able to build up the new thing of
which they had a vision. The Bol
sheviki intervened.
“I think, too, the people of the
United States must be wiser than
they’ were. I was condemned for
denouncing war as something wick
ed. I said nothing good .came out
of war. Well has it? Is the world
any’ better? Isn't it true that, there
is more hatred, more narrow nation
alism than before the war? Are not
the Ku Klux Kfttn in America, the
Hitlerites in Germany, the Awaken
ing Mag.yars in Hungary all the out
growths of the war?
“You ask me whether all these
things make me a pessimist. Opti
mist—pessimist—they are words. No
cne can be entirely one or the other
in this world, any more than he can
be all saint or all sinner.
“Regardless of how one feels, one
must go on battling for his ideals.
Renoir, master of modern French
painting, worked with crippled fing
ers till he dropped. Beethoven, al
though deaf, composed divine melo
dies he could never hear. They had
ideas they had to give expression to.
So in a modest way’ it is with me.
1 am a fighter. I have spent all my
hff fighting. I shall die fighting.
There can be none of this sit-by-the
fire stuff for me.
“And I believe if Iwere not inter
fered with 1 could get a hearing
Horn the American people. The.v
are fundamentally a kindly, a gen
erous people when they are not
stirred up by lying newspapers and
paid patriots.
“Let me give you two instances

N.C. PUNTER TELLS
DE MOVE TO RICH
LUS IN COLQUITT
Echoing lhe purpose of himself
and others to migrate from North
Carolina to south Georgia, L. A. Cur
rin Wednesday morning disclosed
lhe details of an ambitious plan for
lhe successful development of Col
quitt and adjoining counties. Mr.
Currin is a tobacco planter, who has
been convinced by a personal investi
gation that the tobacco belt ot south
Georgia is far better and more pre
ferable than the best lands in North
Carolina. Mr. Curtin is returning
to his North Carolina home, at Hes
ter, in Granville county,’ to com
plete arrangements for moving to
Colquitt county with his family.
Stopping in Atlanta on his re
turn to North Carolina. Air. Currin
declared that the enterprising busi
ness men and farmers of Colquitt
county are holding out almost irre
sistable inducements to the Carolina
tobacco planters.
“1 Know of many successful Caro
lina tobacco farmers who are going
to settle in Colquitt county,” he said.
“At Moultrie this week, I met per
haps twenty men from ’home' who
have decided on a change ot resi
dence, and who next year will be en
gaged actively in producing tobacco
in Colquitt county.’
Mr. Currin added:
“There is no doubt in my mind
that hundreds of North Carolina to
bacco farmers will Lind their way to
Colquitt county during the next year
and a large number of them will be
there in time for tobacco growing
season in 1925. 1 find that it only
takes seven to eight months between
the bedding time and market time
to handle a crop of bright leaf to
bacco in south Georgia. In North
Carolina it takes fourteen months to
complete the deal. This tact will
enable our farmers to locate in Col
quitt county to raise teed crops to
be marketed through the live stock,
thus increasing the annual income
from their farm investment.
“1 find thaat there is wonderfully
good tobacco land in Colquitt county
which will yield three to four times
as much tobacco as our average to
bacco lands yield in North Carolina.
“One thing that particularly im
pressed the number of North Caro
lina farmers who have been visiting
Colquitt county this week, is the fact
that the chamber of commerce has
options on whatever lands there are
for sale and is protecting our people
against advance, putting them on
ground floor on basis of going values
and seeing thaat those purchasing
farms get adequate surveys and land
titles.
“It is a county-wide movement of
the farmers as well as business men
to put into cultivation all the open
lands in the county and our people
were most favorably impressed with
the condition in Colquitt county and
are entirely satisfied to live there.
“They have I,GOO miles of the best
roads in the county 1 have ever seen
in any other county. They have five
large consolidated county schools
and are building three more. ’
“Taking it altogether J think it is
a wonderful opportunity to North
Carolina farmers to move to Colquitt
county and there is no doubt that
hundreds of our people will do so.”

the praises of the American dough

when left to their better instincts.”

Benjamin Franklin’s
Kite Story Was Myth,
This Scientist Says
BOSTON, Dec. 10. —Benjamin
Franklin's experiment with a kite
during a thunder shower, causing
a Shock through a key at the end
of the string, was declared a myth
that had taken its place with Wash
ington's ax and cherry tree and
William Tell's apple and arrow, in
an address today by Prof. Alexander
McAdie, director of the Blue Hill
observatory.
“A coroner’s jury would have been
holding an inquest over Franklin's
body the next day,” if he had per
formed the experiment as popular
histor.v has it, the scientist said.

AS OPIUM PARLEY
REOPENSIBffI
GENEVA, Dec. 10.— (By the Asso
ciated Press.) —Japan startled today’i
session of the opium conference by
announcing she would take no furth
er part in the subcommittee, endeav
oring to fix the status of tl - central
board for control of the opium traf
fic.
Delegate Sugimura said the sub
committee was getting nowhere and
his delegation was convinced it was
useless to proceed in the face of the
opposition to the American proposed
system of basing allotments of opium
supplies to the various countries on
estimate of their legitimate require
ments. This opposition, he said, came
notably from Holland and France.
Edwin Neville, of the United States
delegation, Leon Bourgeois, of
France, and Dr. H. S. Beland, of
Canada, urged Mr. Sugimura to re
-1 main on the committee but the Jap-
I anese was adamant.
