PRICE ffly NOT
GET SEAT SOON,
I.
Opinion Is He Can Not Take
Soil Commissioner's Office
t
Before Next June.
■ j 1
I <
The c’ection of James I). Price to he I
■
commissioner of agriculture gave rise
today to a heated discussion in the I
state caplto! as to when he would begin i
hie term. The general opinion is that ‘
he can not take office until after the ;
canvasses the returns, which
will be at the opening of the session
next .June, giving him office about
July 1. .'
The question is rather a tangled one.
and the attorney general may be called |
upon for a special decision in the mat- i
ter.' If a contest is made. Governor I
Brawn may find himself in an embar- i
rassing position, as .1. J. Connor, the tn.
cumbent, is a Brown appointee, and Mr.
Price, commissioner-elect, is also a
close friend and supporter of the gov
ernor
When Mr. Connor was appointed to
fill tile unexpired term of Torn Hudson,
his commission was written to read
"to serve until the expiration of the
term or until his successor is elected
and qualified." The question hinges on
the word “qualified."
Mr. Price will be elected formally a' I
the October regular election. He might [
then qualify, his friends hold, by pre
senting himself to the governor to be
sworn in. Bid Mr. Connor’s friends I
quote the Georgia code and a ruling of],
the attorney general to show that he
can not qualify until next June.
The act creating the commissioner of ,
agriculture specified thiv he should be (
elected the stint? as the governor and ,
other constitutional officers. I nder (
this ruling, the returns electing Mr.
Price can oniv be canvassed by the leg- : .
islature. The legislature will not meet ; ,
until next June. If this is accepted as;
the correct view. Mr. Price can not take i
his seat before about July 1. 1913. : f

INSANE WOMAN
MENACES TUR
Arrested Trying to Give Presi
dent ’“Sacred Knife” at Co
lumbus Centenary.
t’OH'MBI'S. OHIO. Aug 2^.—A
woman about 45 years old and believed
to be insane, was arrested this morning
at the Southern hotel as she tried to
entc an elevator in which President
Taft was ascending to go to breakfast.
She gave the name of Carolyn Beers, of
Greenville, Ohio, and told the police
she wanted to give the president a "sa
cred knife."
The woman had been seen about the
Southern hotel Wednesday and when
she attempted to enter the “levator was
-eized by detectives.
"I am the president's wife," she told
the detectives, "and I am following him
to see that he is true to me. I have a
sacred knife which I am going to give
him."
The woman was rushed to the city
prison by the detectives in an automo
bile and when searched by the matron
two ordinary pocket knives were found
in the bosom of her dress. She contin
ued to ramb'e and said that she had
seen Taft at the Gibson house in Cin
cinnati last fall and that he had then
told her to go home and stay with her
daughter. She persisted In her declar
ation that she was the president's wife
■and to quiet her the chief told he he
would have the president visit her at
the prison.
Thousands Greet President.
1 aft arrived here on the Pennsyl
vania railroad at 8 o'clock this morn
ing and was given a military escort
through High street to rhe Southern •
hotel, where he was received by Mayor
George A Karb. members of the Ohio
Columbus Centennial commission and
distinguished guests. After informal
Sterlings had been extended the presi
dent ami his party had breakfast at the
hotel. Thousands of Centennial visitors
lined the streets and cheered the presi
dent as his automobile whirred by.
Today was Federal day of the Cen
tennial. with President Taft the gues.
of honor.
In his address at the fair grounds
President Taft defended his use of the
veto and attacked most of the so-called
progressive measures as "nostrums.'
He did not mention the measures
specifically, although he declared that
the trouble with the men who advo
cated them was that "they wanted to
Piace reforms into effect by tomorrow'
morning's breakfast."
' I hat is not the way nations grow. "
dec la ed the president. "They grow
by years and decades and mere change
is not necessarily progress. If we de
sire to make certain progress we must
move Step by step and will) the utmost
care."
Defends His Vetoes.
Referring to bis recent vetoes he
said he only did what his conscience
forced him to do.
"When you take a Democratic house,
a senate that isn't anything and a Re
publican (resident." said Taft, “the
veto is likely to be used.
"I used it only moderately, if you
will i eview the history of vetoes in this
countiy you will find out that most of
them have been for the good."
The president then recalled the in
stance of President Grant vetoing the
bill providing for the Issuance of green
backs and said that "our sound finances
today were traced directly from that
veto."
Most of the president's speech was
devoted to a historical review of the
growth of Columbus and Ohio. He re
ferred to the government s activity in
advancing scientific agriculture.
He was introduced by Dr. Thompson,
president of the state fai: association
The audience of 10,000 people received
the address cordially, but no enthusi
asm was manifested.

Heavy Realizing Sends Prices
Down After Dull and Stag
nant Session.
N’EW YORK. Aug 29. A covering
movement at the opening of the cotton
market today caused prices to open un
changed to 2 points above last night's
close. After the call prices moved up 5
to 6 points. A report was current that
the National Ginners association made

ish The movement larked aggressive
ness. however, and prices soon fell off.
Cordill. in his ieport, gives a very good
account of ihe Atlantic states His re
port follows:
“Atlantic's as a whole show steady and
uninterrupted improvement for the month
of August.”
Spot interests have been noticeable sell
ers throughout the day, while the ring
speculators and commission houses have
been free buyers. Some Wall street
houses were at times buyers also. This
coterie of speculators boosting the staple
through their aggressiveness prices were
firmly maintained around the early range
throughout the late forenoon trading and
afternoon session. This bulk of trading is
believed to be evening up the market for
ithe holidays Late during the afternoon
trading October was steady and un
changed from the first figures, also De

and sentiments generally are very bear
ish
Heavy liquidation prevailed during the
las' half hour of trading by local profes
sionals. causing a backward movement in

HAYWARD &. CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug 29.- Support In
New York in tlie last hours yesterday
was stimulated, it appears, by unfounded
rumors of storm. Though absolutely no
indications of any disturbance. On the
contrary, a strong cool wave is coming on
the belt in the next few days and will
cause general rains and cooler weather in
tlie western and north central belt. The
map shows very favorable conditions,
warm weather, fair in middle belt, cloudy
in northern belt and gulf districts. No
rain, except some in southeast Texas and
middle gulf coast. Liverpool was steadier
today with futures and spots 4 points up;
sales 6.000 bales.
New York reports say that leading spot
interests are the principal sellers, while
the buying is to cove- shorts before the
holidays and speculative on the pari of
a few strong operators.
Our market opened about 8 points up
to meet the advance In other markets.
Soiling is restricted to the holidays and a
disposition to cover before bureau publi
cation. The market is consequently easier
to sustain.
Spots here are still remarkably quiet,
particularly if compared with the active
inquiry this time last .year.

1 Tennessee- Condition has advanced
‘during the month, but prospects are not

I size, strong and well fruited, and fields j
I are in good state of cultivation. A few

backward, but with a late frost a good
I crop will be made
I Morida—Percentage < ondition has about .

'improvement over a month ago The':
plant is strong ami healthy, and full of ’
; I fruit, and fields are generally well cul
tivated and in good condition Rainfall <
I has been plentiful. Worms, however, are 1
, beginning to appear, but as yet have <
done but little damage. The season is 1
I two to three weeks late, and hot and dry
I weather is needed to hasten maturity
The Journal of Commerce says: "No
! strong, r confirmation of the reported low
condition of cotton goods stocks at mill
centers could he had than the wav mill ’
agents declined to accept additional or
ders for quick delivery on several lines <
of merchandise.” t
Dallas wires: “Texas - Generally clear f

, McFadden. Mitchell. Gwathmey. Hicks. 1
Jr., and Lehman were fair buyers, while
Black. Lipper, Rothschild. Springs. Gu- <

Further advices from Texas encouraged 1

condition percentage from the government
j on September 3 than many operators have
; been looking for, ard while the moderate
• crop people adhered to their belief in a 1
i yield well under 14.000,000 hales, they all '
1 I seemed t 0 recognize the probable shift!;
Hos sentiment and acted accordingly Day |
after day tlie market works downward!
i and speculators appear willing enough toL
1 sell all the contracts the trade can use
as hedges. Consequently, confidence In i ‘
1 lower markets spreads rather than 1 '
1 shrinks. At the moment there are no!
I genuine bulls on the market; that Is, no- 1
body seems to Think rallies of hnpor- '
tance will occur in the Immediate future, j
; But there are many men who sincerely!,
believe the crop Is being overestimated I
and trade underestimated, and these ! '
men are more convinced every day that i
sellers will sell themselves into a hole ;
just as they did last year.

(’anadian Pacific, which was strong m
London, reflected its firmness in New
York, advancing 1‘ 8 .
Union I’adiic sola heavily, losing %.
1 ncertainty as to the developments at
todays meeting of the Louisville and

cline in that issue. At the end of fifteen
minutes Louisville and Nuehvme had ois-t
a full point. Southern Hallway gained

The curb was active.. United States
Motor continued under pressure, the pre
ferred selling down to ll' ? , against i:;q
yesterday, while the common was offered
at 3V against the last sale Wednesdav
at 3*3.
The raising of the rate of the Bank of
England from 3 to 4 per cent had a chill
ing effect on the London market, which
to some extent was felt in Americans
I nlted States railroad shares were quiet.
In the late forenoon stocks were freel}
supplied and fractional losses here rec
orded in many of the important issues.
Lehigh Valley was under pressure, de
clining % and slight recessions u ere noted
in the tobacco stocks. New York Cen
tral. Atchison. Northern Pacific, steel
common and the copper shares.
Slight rallies occurred in the market
in ihe late trading, affecting some of the
important railways and industrials. Read
ing moved up S to 170%,. The same
amount of recovery was made in St. Paul
and Union I’aclfic. The tobacco stocks
were also in better demand, American
Tobacco moving up 2 points to 220, whiL>
Liggett & Meyers advanced points.
Trading, however, was chiefly profes
sional.
The market closed strong, governments
unchanged: other bonds firm.
