PRICE MW NOT
GET SEAT SOCK
Opinion Is He Can Not Take
Soil Commissioner’s Office
Before Next June.
The election of Janies D. Price to be i
'’ommiesioner of agriculture gave rise I
today to a heated discussion in the I
state capitol as to when he would begin I
his term. The general opinion is that
he can not take office until after the
legislature canvasses the returns, which
will be at the opening of the session
next June, giving him office about
July 1.
The question is rattier a tangled one.
and the attorney general may be called
upon for a special decision in the mat
ter. If a contest is made. Governor I
Brown may find himself in an embar
rassing position, as J. ,1. Connor, the in.
t umbent. 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 the uncxpircd term of Tom 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 al I
the October regulai r-leetion. He might
then qualify. Ills friends hold, by pre
senting himself to the governor to be
-worn in. Hu; Mr. Connor's friends
quote the Georgia code and a ruling of
the attorney general to show that he
ceu m t qualify until next June.
The act creating the commissioner of
agriculture specified'ilia t he should be
elected the same a> the governor and
othei constitutional offieets. Under
this ruling, 'hi returns electing Air.’
Price can only be canvassed by the leg- j
Is'atur*. The legislature will not meet!
until next June, if this is accepted as (
rhe correct \ i» u. Mr. Price can not take j
his seat before about July 1. 1913

INSANE WOMAN
ME TAFT
Arrested Trying to Give Presi
dent “Sacred Knife" at Co
lumbus Centenary.
*
CQLL'MBUS. OHIO. Aug. 29.—A
woman about 45 years old and believed
to be insane, was arrested this morning
at the Southern hotel as she tried to
ente an elevator in which President
Taft was ascending t.j 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- i
cred knife."
| The woman had been seen about the
I Southern hotel Wednesday and when
■site attempted to enter the elevator was
i seized by detectives.
I "I am the president's wife,” she told
I the detectives, "and 1 am following him
|to see that, he is true to me. 1 have a i
j sacred knife which I am going to give I
I him."
The woman was rushed to the city
■ prison by the detectives in an automo-
I bile and when searched by the matron
■ two ordinary pocket knives were found
lin the bosom of het dress. She contin
| ued io ramble and said that she had
.seen Taft at the Gibson house in Cin
i'-mnatl last fall and that he had then
j told her to go home and stay with her
! daughter. She persisted in her declar
lution that she was the president's wife'
and to quiet h»r the chief told her he 1
would have the president visit her at
the prison.
Thousands Greet President.
last arrived here on the Pennsyl
vania railroad at 8 o'clock this morn-
■ :ng and was given a military escort ;
through High street to the Southern
j hotel, where he was received by Mayor I
I George A. Ka b, members of the Ohio!
| Columbus Centennial commission ano
'distinguished guests. After informal
. greetings had been extended the presi
dent and his party had breakfast at the
hotel. Thousands of Centennial visitors
.iiied the streets and cheered the ' presi
dent as his automobile whirred by.
Today was Federal day of the Cen
|t-nnial, with President Taft the guest
of honor.
In his address at the fair grounds
President Taft defended his use of the
veto and attacked most of the so-called
Pi'vgressive measures as "nostrums.’
He did not mention the measures
' specifically. although he declared that
1 tie trouble with the men. who advo
cated them was that "they wanted to
I place reforms into effect by tomorrow
I morning’s breakfast."
"that is not the way nations grow,"
I deviated the president. "They grow
I I by years and decades and mere change
|is not necessarily progress. If we de-
Isiie to make certain progress we must
; move step by step and w ith the utmost
. i care."
Defends His Vetoes.
Referring to his recent vetoes he
said he only did what his conscience
forced him to do.
M hen you take a Democratic house,
a senate that isn't anything and a Re
publican pesident," said Taft, "the
■ veto is likely to be used.
"I used it only moderately, if you
will review the history of vetoes in this
> country you will find out that most of
them have been for the good."
The president then recalled the in
stance nf 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.”
I Most of the president's speech was
devoted to a historical review of th'
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.

COTTON RECEDES
IN CLOSING HOUR
Heavy Realizing Sends Prices
Down After Dull and Stag
nant Session.
NEW YORK. Aug 29.- A covering
movement 'ut the opening of the cotton
market today eauserj 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 Gilmers association made
Ute condition in the cotton growing states
7< 8. which the trade construed as bull
ish. The movement lacked aggressive
ness. however, and prices soon fell off.
Cordtll, in his report, gives a very good
account of the Atlantic states. His re
port follows:
"Atlanties as a whole show steady and
uninterrupted improvement for the month
of August."
Spot interests have been noticeable sell
ers throughout the ira.v, 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
the holidays. Late during the afternoon
trading October was steady and un
changed from the first figures, also De
cember. Crop reports continue favorable
and sentiments generally are very bear
ish.
Heavy liquidation prevailed during the
last half hour of trading by local profes
sionals, causing a backward movement in
■ prices, and at the close the market was
' easy, with prices a net decline of 8 to 12
points from the final quotations of Wed
nesday.

HAYWARD & CLARK'S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
XEW ORLEANS. Aug. 29.—Support in
New York in the last hours yesterday
was stimulated, it appears, by unfounded
rumors of storm. Though absolutely no
Indications of any disturbance. On tbe
contrary, a strong cool wave is coming on
the belt in the next few days and will
< ause general rains and cooler weather In
the 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 cover shorts before the
holidays and speculative on the part of
a few strong operators.
Our market opened about 8 points up
to meet the advance In other markets.
Selling 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,
parucularly if compared with the active
inquiry this time last year.

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

Itfie whole state is remarkably free of
insects. The season is two to three weeks
backward, but with a late frost a good
1 crop will be made.
I k loriJa—Percentage condition has about

I fruit, and fields are generall.v well cul
tixaten and in good condition. Rainfall
has been plentiful. Worms, however, are
beginning to appear, but as yet have
done but little damage. The season is
two to three weeks late, and hot and dry
weather is needed to hasten maturity.
I The Journal of Commerce says: No
