OF CERTIFICATES
ON COTTON CROP
Special to The Georgian.
Barntavllle, Oft., Nov. 5.—Preaidant
R. F. Duckworth, head of the Georgia
division of the Farmers' Union and a
member of the legislative committee of
the National Farmers’ Union, has writ
ten the secretary of the treasury at
Washington. D. C„ asking that he be
given the authority to Issue certificates
to the amount of $100,000,000, backed
by cotton receipts given by bonded
warehouses. This step Is asked to aid
In the cotton holding movement, and
President Duckworth believes that the
plan Is perfectly Just nnd reasonable
and will materially aid the South In the
effort to secure a fair price for Its
product.
In his letter Mr. Duckworth says:
"The Atlanta bankers have issued,
what they term, clearing house certifi
cates to the amount of $2,000,000. They
claim that these certificates are backed
by 'gilt-edge security.’
"The Farmers' Union has warehouses
throughout the South. The majority
of these warehouses are bonded, and I
want to ask. for the benefit of the
farmers of the South, the permission
of your department to Issue certificates,
backed by our cotton receipts, given
by bonded warehouses, to the amount
of $100,000,000, this $100,000,000 to be
guaranteed by twice that amount of
cotton at present prices; these certifi
cates to remain In circulation until Au
gust 15, 1908."

"I witnessed more excitement In New
York during the runs on the banka
week before last than I saw In Atlanta
during the riot," said 8. B. Turman,
head of the real estate firm of B. B.
Turman A Co., who, after an extended
Northern and Western trip, accompa
nied by his wife, returned to Atlanta
Sunday.
Mr. Turman was In New York while
the excitement was nt Its height, nnd
went down to witness the scenes about
the big banking houses when the people
laid siege. In describing It, Mr. Tur
man said:
"There were lines of people three
blocks long waiting to draw their
money out of the banks. For the moat
part they were thoae who hod deposited
their savings for safe-keeping and hod
become alarmed. Few of them were
bualness men. They came and brought
their camp etool* and waited. The
barks were open for only a few hours
each day, so eome of them had to wait
for several daya In line, and then many
never got their money out. Extra* were
coming out every minute and each one
created a sensation.
•'The curb brokers and the brokers In
the Consolidated Exchange were simply
wild, tearing their hair, screaming nnd
knocking each other down.” '
Mr. Turman went from New York to
Cincinnati, Chicago. Indianapolis and
a number of other Northern cities and
on Ills trip combined both business and
pleasure. The situation In New York
has changed since his visit and tilt runs
on the banks are over.
The filter question was settled once
and probably for all time Monday after,
noon when council adopted the report
of the committee, recommending the
acceptance of the bid of the New York
Continental Jewell Filtration Company.
The atdermanlc board, at o session
railed especially for that purpose, con
curred In the action of council Imme
diately after council adjourned.
The bid of the New York Continental
Jewell Filtration Company for a dupli
cate of the plant now In operation at
the waterworks, with a few modifica
tions, was $26,000. The Philadelphia
Water Purification Company submitted
a modified bid of $24,600 for the In
stallation of a plant.
Attorney Rosser urged the acceptance
of the lotted bid, but council took the
position that the difference between
the prices would not'Justify that body
In accepting the cheaper Wd when the
New York filters had given such aplen.
did satisfaction for fourteen year*.
Mayor Joyner called a meeting of th*
nldermanlc board at the conclusion of
the session of council and the action of
council was concurred In. The ordi
nance by Councilman Huddleston rela
tive to city officials and members of
council and administrative boards was
recommitted to the ordinance commit
tee for the second time.
Ordinance Rs-referrsd.
The Georgian disclosed the fact Sat
urday that If the ordinance was adopted
It would throw a nfiwber of board
members and possibly a few council
members out of their political offices.
Councilman Huddleston stated that It
went further than he had Intended, and
It was therefore re-referred.
T. K. Glenn, representing the Georgia
Railway and Electric Company, pro
tested against the laying of a new
pavement In Broad street, between
Mitchell and Peachtree, saying it was
not right to assess the company for the
laying of new pavement when the old
as not worn out. Referred to the
streets committee.
Alderman Beutell Introduced a reso
lution appointing M. L. Petty as agent
to condemn the property nt the Inter
section of North avenue and Marietta
street, which Is necessary for the
widening of North avenue. The widen
ing of this street Is necessnry for the
construction of the proposed under
pass. Referred to the finance commit
tee.
W. H. Preston, clerk to the recorder,
was elected recorder pro tern, pursuant
to an ordinance adopted nt the previous
session creating this office and making
him eligible.
Publio Comfort*.
Councilman Huddleeton Introduced a
resolution looking to the erection of a
public comfort* building In Atlanta and
providing that It be referred to the
committee on public buildings and
grounds and the committee on public
Improvements. It was so referred.
Councilman Longlno and Councilman
Harman being added to the committee
to consider the matter.
Councilman Longlno suggested that
the site between the Whitehall street
viaduct and the Broad street bridge
would be a splendid one for a general
transfer station for the street car com
pany and the public comforts building.
This, too, will be considered.
Alderman Curtis Introduced a reso
lution providing for the donation of a
section of the Walker Street school lot
to the library board, on which to erect
a branch library. Referred to the
library* «nd school boards Jointly.

Sperlfll to The Georgian.
Auburn, ’ Ala., Nov. 5.—Auburn de
feated Clemaon here yesterday, the
score being 12’to 0.
The game was hard fought by both
learns for twenty-five minutes In each
half.
Auburn secured the kick-off on her
10-yard line.
'At once Auburn commenced her
rushes through Clemson's line, making
30 yards In three downs. Reynolds was
then given the ball nnd made a run
around end for 40 yards, but was called
back and Auburn was penalised 15
yards for holding. In five minutes aft.
er the penalty Auburn forced tha ball
over /or a touchdown.
In the balance of the first half the
ball was In Clemson's territory. Au
burn playing on the defense.
i the second half Auburn forced the
ball over the line for what appeared to
be a touchdown, but the referee decided
the ball lacked one Inch of being over.
In the next play Auburn received the
ball and by ewlft end runs and line
plunges carried It clean over the line,
making the eecond touchdown. Rey
nolds kicked both goals, making
score 12 to 0.
After this the ball was only once
near Auburn's goal, but Auburn rallied
and forced It out of danger.
It was evident throughout the game
that Auburn outclassed Clemaon In ev
ery respect.

Have Been Seized By
Government.
Richmond. V«., Nor. 5.—Some of the tnouf
gigantic frnnds In the history of the In
terns! revenue service have been unearth
ed In Virginia. North Carolina aiul other
Southern states, nnd disclosures. Involving
well known distilleries, sre anticipated.
The Feilerat authorities estimate the loss
In Virginia alone to be J750.000 to $1,000,000
a year, nud they say the circumventing of
the laws has been going on for eighteen
months or more. The loss In collections In
other states Is said to approximate the
nroouut of taxes evaded In the Old Do
minion. It la underatoofl that Commission
er John Cl. Capers Is personally conducting
the investigation, nnd this la borne out by
the fact that David Hates, chief of special
agents, with Jiendqusrters at Washington,
has made several visits to this city ana
and particularly since whisky legislation
compelled many whisky manufacturers to
mbve across the line from North Carolina.
Statistics are said to show that only four
states—Illinois. Kentucky. Ohio and Indiana
—exceed Virginia's production of distilled
spirits. There has been double massing, na
excess of spirits over that which la per
mitted, nnd an unlawful amount of material
used,

ROGER TO ARRIVE
AT BOSTOOK SHOW
The largest elephant In the world—
"Roger”—which gave the resident* of
Jersey City the fright of thslr lives
when he broke away from his keepers
the other day, will be on exhibition In
the Bostock Wild Animal Arena at
Ponce DeLeon park for the next two
months.
“Roger" was being transferred from
Conev Island to an express car at Jer
sey City en route to Atlanta when he
broke away from his keepers and fur
nished a remarkable spectacle of run
ning amuck through the streets, caus
ing pedestrians to flee for their lives.
The fact that "Roger” does not possess
the usual vindictive nature of elephante
no doubt prevented a loss of life.
When finally captured It required the
efforts of five trainers and fifty men to
finally subdue him. Besides bslng the
Oldest male elephant In the world, (he
Is 45 years old). “Roger" is the largest
elephant In captivity. After his exhibi
tion In Atlanta he will be returned to
the king of Slam, by whom he Is re.
gardetl as one of the moet sacred an|.
mala In th# kingdom.

Washington, Nov. 6.—Former Sena
tor Marion Butler, or North Carolina,
was asked what he thought of Con
gressman Burltson's request to the
treasury department for financial as
sistance to the farmer similar to that
which has Just been made to business
Interests In New Yortr, and also as to
Mr. Burleson’s criticism of the action of
Becretary Cortelyou In the matter.
”t don't understand.” he answered,
that Congressman Burleson charges
Secretary Cortelyou with violating the
law. All the secretary has done Is to
deposit government funds In certain
banks upon the application of those
banks on good and sufficient security
therefor, ss provided by law. Neither
do I understand that Mr. Burleson
claims that any bank In his state has
made such an application and been de
nied.
“The fact la that the country has
prospered faster than the volume of

always will produce a money stringen

adequately met and supplied with an
adequate flexible currency.”
