STATE OE GEORGlA—Executive De
partment.
Atlanta, July 29, 1912.
Whereas, the general assembly at its

to the constitution of this state as set
forth In an act approved August 19, 1911,
to-w!t:
An act proposing an amendment to the
third section of the seventh article of the
constitution by striking therefrom the
words "casual deficiencies of revenue’
and substituting therefor the words "such
temporary deficit as may exist in the
treasury in any year from necessary de
lay in collecting the taxes of the year:"
and by striking the words "two ..undred
thousand dollars” and substituting in lieu
thereof "five hundred thousand dollars,
and any loan made for this purpose shall
be repaid out of the taxes levied for the
year in which the loan is made."
Section 1. Be It enacted by the general
assembly, that it shall be and is hereby
proposed to amend the constitution of
Georgia in the third section of the sev
enth article so as tc strike from para
graph one the words "casual deficiencies
of revenue” and substituting in lieu there
of the words, "such temporary deficit as
may exist in the treasury in any year
•from necessary delay in collecting the
taxes of that year," and by further strik
ing from said section the words “two
hundred thousand dollars" and substitut
ing in lieu thereof, “five hundred thou
sand dollars, and any loan made for this
purpose shall be repaid out of the taxes
levied for the year In which the loan is
made,” so that the first paragraph of
said section when amended shall read as
follows: "NO debt shall be contracted by
or on behalf of the state, except to sup
ply such temporary deficit as may exist
>n the treasury In any year from neces
sary delay in collecting the taxes of that
year, to repel invasion. . ress Insurrec
tion, and defend the state in time of war,
or to pay the existing public debt: but
the debt created to supply deficiencies in
revenue shall not exceed, in the aggre
gate, five hundred thousand dollars, and
any loan made for this purpose shall be
repaid out of the taxes levied for the year
in which the loan is made.”
Section 2. Be it further enacted, That
whenever the above proposed amendment
to the constitution shall be agreed to by
two-thirds of the members elected to each
of the two houses of the general assembly
and. the same has been entered upon
their journals with the ayes and nays

said amendment to be published in at
feast two newspapers in each congression

two months next preceding the time of
holding the next general election.
Section 3. Be it further enacted. That
the above proposed amendment shall be
submitted for ratification or rejection to
the electors of this state at the next gen
eral election to be held after publication,
as provided in the second section of this
act in the several election districts of this
state, at which election every person shall
be qualified to vote who is entitled to vote
for members of the general assembly. All
persons voting at said election in favor
of adopting the proposed amendment to
the constitution shall have written or
printed on their ballots the words, "for
amendment to constitution authorizing

Heavy Seiling After Gains,
Reversing Upward Trend.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20. Although the
cotton market was quiet today at the
opening with first prices ranging from
unchanged to 3 points above the final
figures of Monday, the bulls imme
diately introduced aggressive sup
port which caused prices to advance 7
to 9 points from the early range. The
n.ovement was mostlx based on lack of
rain in Texas. Weather predictions of
rain within 24 hours in Texas offset the
effect of the hull movement and the ef
forts of the buyers to uncover big lines
failed. The selling fdr New Orleans ac
count wiped out part of the advance.
Livenl cables were hot as good .is
expected today, at the opening, but later
developed a steady tone and followed
our advance moderately. During the
afternoon trading the market developed
a steady tone with the Waldorf crowd
sfood buyers. There was. a Iso some short
covering and prices showed a tendency
to work back to the high levels made
during the early session. Some spot de
mand was reported, which is believed ;
to be stimulating the market. Anticipa- <
tions are that if spinners come Into the 1
market prices will easily respond, as. they
usually do when spinners put in an ap
pearance.
During the last hour of trading the
market weakened on the weekly govern
ment report on weather, which was con
sidered good and a heavy selling wave
prevailed, which turned prices on a down
ward movement with net losses ranging
from 11 to 23 points below the opening.
At the close the market was easy with i
prices showing net losses of 9 to 12 points
from the final quotations of Monday.

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug. 20.—Weather
developments over night were as predict
ed. A well defined cold wave formed in
the Northwest and will bring unsettled,
rainy and cooler weather in the Western
states in the next few days. Some light
precipitation occurred over night in local
ities in south Texas.
Liverpool was rather disappointing at
first, but received support later. Spot
prices in Liverpool were 4 points higher;
sales, 6,000 bales.
A traveling crop authority reports east
Alabama and Georgia as follows: “Crop
laid by clean, well worked and shows
steady improvement."
Our market opened around last night’s
closing figure. .There is no pressure to
sell at the moment as 100 far under spots
and trading are. waiting spot deevlop
ments. This pause is being used by some
operations for an attempt against incom
petent short interest. Whether this at
tempt will be successful and to what ex
tent depends on the rapid it.* of increase
in harvesting and un spot quotations in
the Eastern states.

Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. -Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.; While Liverpool was not as
good as uue on our cluse of yesterday,
still the buying was rather good and pre
vented a decline.
The opening was quiet, but after open- i
mg there was evidence of some of the 1
<ld bulls buying a little cotton which ;
caused short covering, bringing about a
lew points advance. While there is lit
tle spot demand heard of. in a general
way, some of the spot houses say spin
ners are buying on the decline.
The course of the market at tfie mo
ment depends on whether mills are will
ing to buy around present prices or await
further developments over the belt with
the prospects of buying at a lower level.
The Waldorf crowd have been good buy
ers today and there is some spot demand
reported, which is stimulating market.
’lTie Journal of Commerce states that
transactions were reported yesterday in
print cloths at concessions of 1-I6c tQ ’ s c,
but the quantities involved were not con
sidered large enough to establish new
basis of value.
Catles was the largest buyer after the
opening. Parrot bought August. Leh
man sold. Schill, Hentz bought Septem
ber. Lehman sold. Flinn, Wiggin, Schill
bought. Hentz, Mitchell sold.
Mitchell was the best buyer during the
morning session. Castles, Gwathmay,
Schill were best sellers.
Browne, ITakeford & Co.. Liverpool,
earned u§ t?his morning as follows:
sence speculation; hedge selling "
Cohen, Loe, and Cone wore
best buyers today on advance. The ring
selling on all rallies.
Sentiment continued bearish, but very
little cotton for sale.
Following are 11 a. m bids: October,
11.25; December, 11.33; January, 11.27;
March, 11.38.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 20.—Hayward &
Clark: The weather may shows cloudy
in south Texas, west Texas and North
Carolina. Fair elsewhere: some showers
in south Texas. Few isolated showers in
rest of the bolt. Temperatures lower in
Oklahoma and northwest Texas. Weather
very faVorable. Indications are for un
settled, cooler and rain coming on western
states in near future. Cool wave ap
proaching, also rain indicated for North
Carolina. Partly cloudy to fair else
where.
Houston, Texas, receives 12,515 new
bales today against 6,138 last year.
THe New Orleans Times-Democrat
sa.vs: over Sunday a little rain fell in
Texas and cooler weather with rain is
promised in that state. Nevertheless the
contract rings encountered a distinct re
actionary spirit which suggested the pres
ence of a burdensome short interest and a
scarcity of speculative sellers. All of
which should interest the talent in view
of the bearishness of most •perators, of
the relative strength of the actual stuff,
of the expanding new bale movement and
of the scarcity of ocean freight room.
Either futures are too low for spots and
must climb at least 50 points during the
near future, or spots are too high for fu
tures and the basis .must break.

Other Issues Develop Irregular
ity, Showing Hesitancy to
Advance of This Group.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. On the strength
of the reports that the New York. New
Haven and Hartford railroad intends to
buy up the remaining outstanding stock
of the New York, Ontario and Western,
this issue opened strong and active today.
Within a few minutes after the opening
•»f the stock market its advance aggre
gated -V
The general tone wits irregular as the
selling seemed about to equal the buying.
The coppers occupied a good position,
Amalgamated advancing from to %c
and American Smelting gaining from %c
to %c. United States Steel common
opened at 74, a gain of over Monday's
••losing Southern railway lost %c and
Canadian Pacific dropped %c. I’nion Pa
cific e was % off at the Start, but later re
covered Atchison opened unchanged, but
subsequently dropped %. Erie common
was unchanged also. After starting %
up, Heading lost its gain. The curb was
heavy.
Americans in London were above New
Ycrk parity, but indicated hesitancy.
Canadian Pacific in London was relatively
firmer, but quiet, as a result of profit
taking by professionals.
During the forenoon the stock market
was steady with the leading issues regis
tering fractional gains. Anaconda ad
vanced 1 point. A gain of % was made
in Utah Copper. The leading railroads
were neglected.
Persistent buying the copper stocks
made those issues the most prominent
features of the trading in the late after
non. Amalgamated was steadily absorb
ed crossing the 87 against 85% earlier in
the day. Further gains were made in
Smelting and Anaconda. Reports were
current about a big interest allied with
the German copper companies were ab
sorbing the stock of their smaller rivals.
The market closed steady. Govern
ments unchanged; other bonds strong.
