FORCE CREDITORS TO ACCEPT PAPER Union Insists On 15-Cent Cotton and Acceptance of Certificates. A firm and uncompromising stand for the minimum price of IS cents for cotton, and the organization of a 3100,- 000 fertilizer plant, were two important matters engaging a meeting of several hundred members of the Farmers’ Union In the senate chamber of the state capltol Monday. It was announced that the capital stock of 1100,000 for this fertilizer plant had not only been subscribed but had been paid Into the treasury. The point at which this plant will be established will be determined wholly by the ques- tlon of advantageous freight rates. In dications are. however, that the big factory will be located at Union City, the new mahufacturlng town of the Farmers' Union, near Atlanta. Immense beds of Tennessee phos phate have already been purchased to supply this' plant. ■ The plan Is unique. Shares are $10 each, und fertilizers mnde at-the union works will be sold only to shareholders and on the basis of one ton to each store. Capital Btoek Is not llmltpd.tp. $10.0,000, but the scope of the plant will be .Increased as the Discusses Financial Question.

The meeting also went on record as uncompromisingly in favor of main taining the minimum of IB cents for cotton. Creditors, whether merchants or banks, will be called on to accept warehouse receipts of cotton hold In storage as a guarantee against the debt, and when the‘request is refused It will result in withdrawal of the patronage of the union members. The resolution covering this point, which was adopted. Is as follows: Stand for 15-Csnt Cotton. "Be it resolved. That we. the mem bers of the Farmers’ Union, put our cotton In warehouses, or other places that are Insured, and take the receipts of same to our creditors for their pro tection. with a contract from said cred itors that the cotton be held In same houses subject to sale only at the min imum price set by the union.” A motion was made, and adopted, that when a member of the Farmers Unloz tendered his cotton receipt to a merchant or bank to secure his Indebt edness, under the terms of the above report, and it was refused, that such refusal be reported to the local presi dent, who must appoint a committee of not less thnn two Influential member* to wait on such merchant or bank. Should a refusal still be Insisted on then the matter should be reported to the president of the county union, who must appoint a like committee to wait on them and notify the merchant or bank that unless they give the accom modation requested no memtor of the Farmers’ Union would patronize their business In the future.

At least fifty of the leading bankers, professional and business men who ore members of other churches went to the 'Second Baptist-Sunday to hear the sermon, tho subject of which had been announced In Tho Oeorglnn on Saturday. l)r. White, who Is not only n prenehor ot eloqnenco nnd power hut a mnn of broad vlsws and,a wide knowledge of tho prob lems which face Ihs public today, had mnde a deep study of bis subject.

White took bis test from Isaiah, Tti. 4: "Take heed nnd he quiet; fear not, neither lie faint-hearted ntniut the two tolls of these smoking firebrands.” The sermon in full follows: Thus nn ancient preseher-pntrlot exhorted „ king and his conncll.

C„ Nov. 18.—There Is something inspiring in the scheme for relieving the financial stringency which, as the resiilt of three days of conferences culminated late last night in the announcement made by Sccreta. ry. Cortelyou, coupled with an appeal to the American people by President Roosevelt. A double-barreled plan for restoring public confidence in which the Federal government takes the lead, Involving the Issuance of treasury certificates amounting to $100,000,000 and the of fering of Panama canal bonds amount ing to $60,000,000 was made public by the secretary of the treasury last night. With the announcement went word to the country from the president that everything Is all right, that it Is the duty of everyone to get over his fear and* resume business and that no man who is a patriot will longer hoard his resources. The public Is expected to invest in the treasury certificates, which run a year and bear 3 per cent Interest. Money Deposited in Banks, This money when it reaches the , treasury can be deposited in tho banks and then the government and not tho banks will be responsible to those mak ing t»i«* loans. In this way an object lesson In confl donee In the financial Institutions of the country Is given by-Mr. Cortelyou. If the public does not want all the troaa ury certificates they^can bo taken by the banks and used os reserve. The banks are expected to buy tho Fanama canal bonds. * The last issue of these bonds was one of $30,000,000, and they were sold as high as 104, al though bearing but 2 per cent Interest.

By THEODORE H. TILLER. Washington, Nov. 18.—With the somber ecene within the court room where a woman Is being tried for her life. In thorough accord with the dreary downpour without, the trial of Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, charged with the murder ot Senator Brown, whom eho admits ehe loved yet slew, was re sumed this morning, the defense begin ning the Introduction of testimony. Two witnesses In particular offered evidence today upon which the defense will begin to build Its plea of insanity. These were Dr. E. W. Whitney, Mra Bradley's physician, and Louis A. Mc Mahon, a newspaper reporter. The latter lent color to a session which was otherwise almost uneventful when he startled the court room by saying that at the tlmo he saw Mrs. Bradley the night of the shooting "she appeared to me to he a nervous, un strung person on tho brink of mental and physical collapse and one whom It would require only a puff of wind to blow Into mental oblivion.” Number of Witnessea The morning was consumed In the examination of a number of newspaper men, Sergeant Lohman and Dr. Whit ney. From some of them the attor neys for tho defense were able to ob tain statements that they believed Mrs. Bradley to be Irresponsible at the time of the tragedy. Others described her condition as nervous and unnatural, but would not commit themselves to the Insanity belief. Dr. E. W. Whitney was permitted to testify only to such Incidents connect ed with his long treatment of Mrs. Bradley as would show her physical condition and was not allowed to go Into detail concerning the character or the causes for the treatment necessary. It Is alleged, on account of some one having performed criminal operations "upon her. Portions of Dr. Whitney’s testimony were technical, while large portions of It Is unprintable and of such a nature that many women In the court room hung their heads during lta recital. Despite this, however, there were per haps a hundred women spectators In the room, none of whom, with few ex ceptions, left during the half hour Dr. Whitney was upon the stand. Improper Operations. The teatlmony of Dr. Whitney Is In troduced, evidently, for the purpose ot corroborating the story which Mrs. Bradley only can tell, not only to the ofTect that she Is rearing two children, who, she says, owe their parentage to the man she slew, but that upon three ether occasions became a near mother, t ring prevented therefrom only through Improper means. Dr. Whitney testified that he became acquainted with Mrs. Bradley In 1811. He told of having treated Mra. Bradley on various occasions up to February. 1500. ”1 understand you were present at the birth of Mrs. Bradley's child. Can you tell us what that child was named 7” "Yes; Arthur Brown Bradley. I next treated her In November, 1901.' Dr. Whitney then described Mrs. Bradley's condition In detail, stating that he treated her for two weeks, that ehe had alight blood poisoning at the time and some fever. "When did you next treat Mrs. Brad ley r "On August 4, 1902, and again May 16, 1905, at her home. She Was Delirious. "Mrs. Bradley wax very delirious for two or three day*. Her temperature, I believe, was 1031-2. During her delirium ehe attempted to do many things as persons will In this condition, such as getting out of bed. Mrs. Brad ley again had blood poisoning, her de lirium bring caused by the blood pois oning and consequent fever. "Impure blood has the same efTect on the brain as the other tissues. 1 think that It affects the entire structure of the body and the brain, especially of the spleen and liver, which show va rious signs of changes In structure after such poisoned blood has been fed them.” James Hay, Jr., tho first witness railed at the morning session, proved a good wltnesa for kirn. Bradley. He said that he had been sent In to Inter view Mrs. Bradley soon after the shoot ing and had talked to her at some length. •'.She appeared pale and haggard TRIO AT THE WINDOW—GEE, WHERE WILL WE PUT ALL THAT COIN?

Atlanta banks will bid for the new government Panama bonds and certifi cates. The Lowry National Bank will probably bid for 3200,000 Panama bonds and the Fourth National Bank will ask for 3200,000 In these bonds. Other local banks probably will take the same decision of the government to Issue 350,000,000 of Panama bonds and 3100,000,000 of certificates bearing 3 per cent interest will relieve all the tension and stringency in ihe money market In this country, restore confidence nnd en able the South to move Us cotton with, out trouble. Thle Is the opinion of the bankers of Atlanta, who are enthusiastic over the timely action of the government, and the feasible plan t-i 1<< n by th" .-• ■•ictsry of the treasury and the president for this purpose. "while the sale of these bonds and certificates means much," stated Asa G. Candler, president of the Central Bank and Trust Corporation, "this will do no more good than the statement of the president that all the banks are solvent. "During these stringent times all the banks of the country, state and na tional, have been subjected to the moet exacting scrutiny by state and national officials. These officials state positively that the banks were never In better condition. The president dates that all the banke are solvent. •The plan adopted by the government to Increase the circulation le a splen did and a perfectly feasible one.” It Is the opinion of the bankers that this step will aid the South particular, ly. The-plan, as explained to a repre sentative of The Georgian, Is this: The government Issues 350,900.000 of Panama canal bonds, which are ax good as treasury notes. The national banka will bid for and buy these bonds. To do so, they muet give the government 350,009.099 of gold. If they sell nt par. and more If they sell above par. The banks then, with these bonds as security, may Issue about 350,000,000 of bank notes. This 360.000.000 of bank notes thus put into circulation la about the tame amount as that paid the government for the bonds. The government, on the other hand, upon receiving the 350,000,000 for the bonds, redeposits this money In the banks. What will help the South particular, ly Is that this money will be redeposlted In the sections of the country where It is necessary to move the crops, and these sections, as the president states, are the South and West. In addition to the Panama bonds, the government proposes to Issue 3100,000,. 000 of one-year 3 per cent bearing cer tificates. A person may buy these certificates ATLANTA BANKS TO BID FOR NEW PANAMABONDS; BANKERS APPROVE PLAN paid 3 per cent Interest on them, and they will be payable within one year. Tho government will then deposit the proceeds In the banks throughout the country, particularly the South end West, and thus Increase the circula tion where It 1h moat needed to mova tin- crops. Colonel R. J. Lowry, president of tha Lowry National Rank, stated that he would probably advise the board of directors of hla bank at a meeting to morrow to increase the circulation of the bank from $500,000 to $800,000 by buying $300,000 of the Panama bonds. "It Ik a splendid arrangement," stat ed < ’«>]-,n«d Lowry, "anti will do every thing that wan needed to restore ab- ; solute confidence in the situation.” Captain J. W. English, president of the Folirth National Bank, stated that h* bad n<d bad time to study the plan of the government fully. "If, a* It appears," he Mated, "the government proposes to Increase the ' circulation throughout the country, and , the banks can break even at Lt, I think It is a splendid one, and this bank may j bid for $200,000 of the Panama bonds." « Joseph A. McCord, of the Third Na tional Rank, thinks the plan a splendid . me. "It will relievo the situation won* dt i fully," h»* stated, "it will Increase < iivul.it!■ in, restore confidence, and It puts tho government solidly behind tho banks, in addition to adding the gov- * ornment Inducement to the banks. The , plan is feasible and I look for no more • trouble." T. J. Peeples, cashier of the Maddox, i Rucker Banking Company, points ou*. ‘ the fact that the timely assistance of , the government has already steadied * the stock market, and that cotton has , gone up $1 a bale on the strength of • the government's action. "It Is a wise step," he said, "taken at an opportune time. The situation ts already wonderfully relieved. The banks of the country were never on a more solid footing, ns the prenident i points out, and the financial trouble, in my opinion. Is now practically over." George It. Donovan, of the First Na tional Bank, state* that his bank has # Just Increased Its circulation $100,000. "The plan of the government," he stated, "is a good one, and It has al ready helped the situation wonderfully.* Race Results.
