By His Excellency,
JOSEPH M. BROWN, Governor.
STATE OF GEORGlA—Executive De
partment.
Atlanta, July 29, 1912.
Whereas, the general assembly at its
session in 1911 proposed an amendment
to the constitution of this state as set
forth in an act approved August 19, 1911,
to-wit:
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 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 w'hich 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 to 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
in the treasury in any .. - r from neces
sary delay in collecting il.e taxes of that
year, to repel invasion, -oppress 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
taken thereon, the governor shall cause
said amendment to be published in at
least two newspapers in each congression
al district in this state for the period of
twp 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
temporary loans,” and all persons opposed
to the adoption of said amendment shall
have written or printed on their ballots
the words, "against amendment to con
stitution authorizing temporary loans."
Section 4. Be it further enacted, That
all laws and parts of laws in conflict with
this act be, and the same are, hereby re
pealed.
Now, therefore. 1. Joseph M. Brown,
governor of said state, do issue this my
proclamation hereby declaring that the
foregoing proposed amendment to the
constitution is submitted for ratification
or rejection to the voters of the state
qualified to vote for members of the gen
eral assembly at the general election to be

Heavy Selling 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
movement was mostly based on lack of
rain in Texas. Weather predictions ot
rain within 24 hours in Texas offset the
effect of the bull movement and the ef
forts of the buyers to uncover big lines
failed. The selling for New Orleans ac
count wiped out part of the advance.
Liverpool cables were not as good as
expected today at the opening, but later
developed a steady tore and followed
our advance moderately. During the
afternoon trading the market developed
a steady tone with the Waldorf crowd
good buyers. There was also some short
• covering and prices showed a tendency
to work hack 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
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
prices showing net losses of H to 12 points
from the final quotations of Monday.

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 tn 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 too 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 ami to what ex
: tent depends on the rapidit, of increase
in harvesting and on spot quotations in
the Eastern states.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.: While Liverpool was not as
good as due on our close of yesterday,
still the buying was rather good and pre
vented a decline.
The opening was quiet, but after open- |
tng there was evidence of some of the I
old bulls buying a little cotton which I
caused short covering, bringing about a
few points advance. While there is lit - |
tie spot demand heard of. in a general
way, some of the spot houses say spin
neLs are '’’’-Ying on the decline.
The course of the market at the 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.
The Journal of Commerce states that
transactions were reported yesterday in
print cloths at concessions of l-16c to %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. Mitehell sold.
Mitchell was the best buyer during the
morning session. Castles. Gwathmay.
Schill were best sellers.
Browne. Drakeford <V Co.. Liverpool,
cabled us this morning as follows: "Ab
sence speculation; hedge selling."

Clark: The weather niay shows cloudy
in south Texas, west Texas and North
Carolina. Fair elsewhere: some showers
in south Texas. Few isolated showers in
rest of the belt. 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. Tartly cloudy to fair else
where.
Houston. Texas, receives 12,515 new
bales totlay against 6.138 last year.
The New Orleans Times-Democrat
says: 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 operators, of
the relative strength of the actual stuff,

COTTON SEED OIL.
NEW YORK. Aug. 20.—Carpenter. Bag
got A.- Co.: There was an easier tone to
the cotton oil market this morning, al
though the volume of business was small.
September sold at 6.54 on the curb yes
terday afternoon, but after opening at
6.53, declined to 6.51 under moderate
liquidation. Lard was lower, and while
the steadiness In cotton might have been
expected to exercise a steadying influence
on values, crude oil was said to be offer
ing more freely, and cdtton crop ad
vices received by cotton oil houses were
considered favorable.

Other Issues Develop Irregular
ity, Showing Hesitancy to
Advance of This Group.
By CHARLES W. STORM
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—0 n 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
of the stock market its advance aggre
gated •%.
The general tone was irregular as the
selling seemed about to equal the buying.
The coppers occupied a good position.
Amalgamated advancing from Ise to %c
and American Smelting gaining from %c
to %c. United States Steel common
opened at 74. a gain of■% over Monday's
closing Southern railway lost. %c and
Canadian Pacific dropped %c. Union Pa
cific was % off at tlie start, but later re
covered. Atchison opened unchanged, but
subsequently dropped %. Erie common
was unchanged also. After starting %
up. Reading lost its gain. The curb was
heavy.
Americans in London were above New
York parity, but indicated hesitancy.
Canadian Pacific in London was relatively
firmer, hut 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 854< earlier in
the day. Further gains were made in
Smelting ami 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.
