Girl Who Fled Home toWed Caught I
ELOPEMENT PLAN FAILS'
Locks and chains are not strong
enough to keep her from marrying the
man she loves, declared Fannie Gore,
the eighteen-year-old Bartow county
girl, who mysteriously disappeared
from her wealthy father’s plantation
Thursday, today at the Atlanta police
station. There, in custody of the sher
iff of Bartow, she awaited the train to
take her back to the family home.
Miss Gore was discovered early in
the day at the home of J. C. Shannon
In t’apitol View, where she has been
since her d'sappearance, wafting the
arrival of Charley Stone, of Dalton,
Ga.. and the marriage that was to fol
low after his advent In Atlanta
"I beileve now my father will permit
us to marry, ’’ she said. "For he ought
to know that if he doesn’t give his con.
sent we will marry without it. He
would have to chain me In the house to
keep from joining Charley, and 1 don’t
believe there are chains strong
enough."
Father Frowned on*Match.
The romance between Stone and Miss
Go e is months old. Soon after they
met. T. G. B. Gore, father of the girl,
forbade her meeting the man with
whom she had fallen in love. They
carried on a clandestine correspond
ence, however, a tenant on the planta
tion being the medium. It was agreed

Moss Investigating Committee
Criticises Employees of De
partment of Agriculture.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Officials
in the employ of the department of
agriculture are criticised for "impro
priety, discrimination and irregulari
ties in financial transactions" in the
majority report of the Moss investi
gating committee which was presented
to the house today. The report de
clares that In irrigation and drainage
projects the committee has observed
"the great degree to which this impor
tant work was permitted to be subordi
nated at several stages of its develop
ment. to the advancement of other
work in which individual members of
congress were particularly interested.'
The vascillating course of the de
partment In the Florida Everglades is
described by the committee as "dif
ference of opinion between members of
congress and the state authorities- of
Florida, witn the irreconcilable differ
ences in the opinions and conclusions
of engineers in the division of drainage
as another contributing cause."
Regarding the famous Everglades in
vestigation which was suppressed afte
it was made out ostensibly by the de
partment. the report says that "the
circular was objectionable to certain |
persons who ".ere offering lands for
sale. The same interests which made
this objection to the circular had been
guilty of circulating highly extrava
gant statements in praise of the Eve'-
glades lands and falsely attributing the
authorship to Secretary Wilton."
Ex-Engineer Assailed.
Supervising Engineer J. O. Wright
is assailed by the report for his con
duct while carrying on drainage proj
ects forth- department. After calling
attention to the fact that Wright, in
his testimony, admitted taking money
and stock from real estate promoters
and speculators who were working
jointly on land imp ovements with the
government, the report says:
"The tran-actions of Mr. Wiight are
repugnant to that fine sense of honor
and propriety which ordinarily distin
guishes the conduct of government of
ficials. and can not be too severely con
demned. If he we e still in the govern
ment service your committee would un
hesitatingly recommend his dismissal
therefrom."
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture F.
M. Hays is alto criticised in the report ;
for taking an option on a land project
near Raleigh. N. <’.. and fo> being as
sociated with Wright.
With regard to the irregularities oc
curring in tlie department with respect
to the disbursement of government
funds, the committee criticises the con •

i'
NEW YORK. lug 19. While Liverpool';
cables rallied after a weak start the cot
ton market here moved independently at .
the opening, beginning 1 to 6 points under j
Saturday's closing under pressure from
spot room trade. Reports of rain over '
the Texas belt added firmness to the mar- I
ket later during the early trading With- |
in a few minutes after the opening Mc-
Fadden interests were heavy sellers and
sold the market off 8 to 13 points In most .
active positions. After the call the ring
crowd and commission houses were heavy
buyers and through their aggressiveness
prices rallied back toward the early
prices.
The uptown crowd and Waldorf interest
were good buyers, which was thought io
be short covering Also large spot in
terests were credited with buying at
times, but were openly offering, and
through this heavy buying prices during
the afternoon session quickly regained the
early decline, with prices S to 11 points
above the opening figures. The market
was given strength later, on report that
the eastern bell is deteriorating, while
Texas shows some Improvement. It Is
believed that the nexl two weeks will de
termine to a great extent what the trade
expects, and (here is a hesitancy among
the average trader to await further de
velopments.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing a net gain of 6 to 8
points from the final quotations of Sat
urday.

ket this morning and prices were easier '
in absence of demand and in sympatic
with cotton. There was said to be a bet
ter export demand, however, and more
activity has been noted in firn compound
lard market recently, all of which r<-
fleets a beter consumptive demand for oil. ■
and this has discouraged heavy .selling of :

•\EW YORK, Aug. 19. (’arpenter, Bag- !
got & Co.: Mr Tate, us Carpenter, Bag
got iK Co., says: “It is indeed hard to
get a line on cotton. No matter how
bullish the news is there seems lo be a
disposition to sell. This last decline was
due to reports of some rain in southwest
1 exas. wnich any planter or cotton man i
knows does more harm than good, but
it depressed the market, causing liquida
tion and short selling until the price is
fast reaching a point from which a re
bound must come, although al the mo
ment it looks as though the bears have
control of the situation
‘ A very bullish September government
condition report is expected, and before
that time we expect to see a considerable
advance and a dissipation of the claim
that this crop is more than fourteen mil
lion bales. <
“I think I would be careful to avoid 1
the short side and work only to the long s
side." j
The Memphis ‘Commercial-Appeal re
port son the growing crop during the past t
week as follows; “The week was favor- •*
able over much of the larger part of the I
cotton states, and in many sections the 1
development a*t the present time is all '
’hat seems possible. The plant is grow
ing very fast and is taking on fruit In
a very satisfactory manner. The earlier <
bolls are nearing maturity, and if frost
is somewhat delayed, districts that once
looked poor will make a fair or a largi <
‘•rop. it is worthy of notice, howevei,
that up to August I the plant was small <
over very wide areas and had not set
any fruit to speak of. Since that date
it has done well, but naturally has not
made up for all early deficiencies It is
also true that owing to the delay in this 1
process a late reason is needed to ma
ture the crop Exceptions to the general
progress are noted in North Carolina and
south central and southern Texas, where
rain has been insufficient to carry the
plant forward. There is very little open
cotton except in Texas. 801 l weevil are <
more numerous in Mississippi and Louis
iana.’’
