W. H. Allen.
After considerable discussion It was
determined to limit each side to 45
minutes for the submlslon of evidence
and 30 minutes each for argument.
The Allen petition was taken up first.
Judge Hlnea read oh affidavit In which
274 cltlxeris testified that the Alien
committee was regularly elected at a
mass meeting held In the court house in
EIHJay on April 4.
Another affidavit stated that fully
350 people were present In the court
house, and that 160 people at an out
side meeting elected another comlt
tee. headed by James L. Parks.
Judge Hines read an affidavit which
stated that on the day. of ihe mass
meeting threats of bldpdshed were
heard on the streets, but none was
heard In the coupt house.
It was charged In another affidavit
that the Parks-Cox-Tankeratey faction
refused to allow Democrata to vote In
tha elections, when the voters opposed
their candidates. t
Ordinary J. D. Hayes In an affidavit
•aid the Parks-Cox-Tankersly faction
believed In rule or ruin. He said that
they had even stated that Judge George
F. Gober was no Democrat.
The affidavit of W. H. Allen, county
school commissioner, who Is one of the
contesting chairmen, said that James
L. Parks, chairman of the old commit
tee, came Into the court house at 10
o'clock and "announced that the meet
ing would be held outside, owing to the
condition of the court house.
An affidavit was also read from Or
dinary Autrey, of Cobb county, who
was present at the mass meeting In El-
lljay on April 4, but he only detailed
the occurrences of the day. Mayor
Keith, of Ellljay, testified that
larger crowd was In the court house
than outside.
T. H. Tabor said he heard threats of
bloodshed on the streets. Jamea H.
Griggs characterlxed the outside meet
ing as a. "rump meeting."
Chairman Miller warned Judge Hlnea
that he had only a few minutes to sub.
mlt testimony and had best select his
affidavits. .
“Mr. Chairman, I think we had best
hear all this evidence," said Seaborn
Wright.
"The gentleman Is notified that the
committee has already fixed the time
for this matter," replied the chairman.
"I never heard of this Issue before."
said Mr. Wright, "but It Is dangerous
for us not to hear all tha evidence so
* may have the truth, and all of It."
A motion was made to extend tha
time of both sides 10 minutes more,
and It carried a(ter a brief discussion.
A motion was made to adjourn tor
lunch at this point, but Judge Hines

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, April 24,—Tarpyiter,
Baggot & Co.: The announcRmanl of
Ihe suspension of a prominent exchange
house at the opening had little or no
efTect on prlcea In the local market. It
had evidently been thoroughly dis
counted by the recent decline. It has
been felt for several day* that some
thing of thla character was hanging
over the market, and It took the actual
announcement to clarify ttilngn. Liv
erpool showed unusual strength before
our opening and even with the an
nouncement of the failure we opened
at an advance. There were many things
marketwlse to favorably afreet prices.
Southern mills were reported to be
buying on a more active scale today
and paying high prices for white cot
ton*. One prominent Georgia houae
wired that 250 points on for spots wbr
being freely off-red. The report came
from Baltlmor that the Consolidated
Duck Company would open up 11 of
their mills next week. Too much rain
was reported from several sections of
the belt and the first special western
belt forecast by the government to the
exchange, predicted fair and colder
weather for Teica*. Arkansas. Oklahoma
and Indian Territory. The feature to
day has been the large buying of Oc
tober by a prominent commission house
said to be for a former very successful
leader In cotton; also the continued
good'buying of July and May by the
larger spot houses.

conditions have been exaggerated. Light
