THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 25, 1912. [UK KICKS TD MIL BOARD Congressman Attacks South ern for Refusing to Sell Tick ets Over Line It Uses. Congressman Charles G. Edwards, of Savannah, today notified the Georgia railroad commission that he has asked a ruling from the interstate commerce commission in Washington as to the right of the Southern railway to de cline the sale of transportation on its trains operated over the tracks of the Atlantic Coast Line, an unaffiliated road, and petitioned the Georgia com mission, in line with his inquiry of the interstate commission, to look into and rule upon the general question of the rights of railroads so operating in Geor gia to adopt similar policies. Congressman Edwards specifically complains to the interstate commerce commission that his brother attempted to purchase a ticket from Savannah to Jacksonville, for use on a Southern train using the Atlantic Coast Line tracks between the two points, and that the Southern agent refused to sell him the ticket. The agent informed Mr. Edwards that the Southern operat ed through trains only over the Coast Line tracks, and did not interfere, in any way. with the local traffic of the Coast Line.

The Georgia commission may delay its ruling on the question until after the interstate commission has handed down an opinion. ROME BUTCHERS SELL INFECTED MEAT, SAYS CITIZEN; PROBE IS ON ROME, GA..

HAYWARD A. CLARK’S DAILY COTTON LETTER NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 25.-r-Both Liv erpool and New York appear to be heavy owing to an unfavorable technical condi tion, absence of short interests, slow mill demand and large daily hedge selling. Liverpool c.ame In somewhat, lower than due and shows spot prices only 3 points higher. The bull support of last week does not seem in evidence in New York and the market required the stimulant of unfa vorable weather to sustain prices. After an advance of about 5 points, prices here dropped back to 11.59. It is thought that tomorrow's bureau report on sup ply and distribution will show bearish statistics In large stocks. Bullish reports by states are expected from The Journal of Commerce in the next few days The map shows cloudy weather over nearly the entire belt. Little rain except in the Atlantic*. Much lower tempera tures in the northwest Amarillo, in pan handle of Texas. 38 degrees. Oklahoma City 42. Indications point to a further fall in north Texas, Oklahoma and Ar kansas, and probably frost general in the northwestern quarter of the belt; rainy and cooler weather elsewhere The tem perature average for Texas yesterday was 62, against 70 last year and 44 for Okla homa, against 66 last yera. Such low temperatures in Oklahoma did not appear last year until October 9. in view of the fact that all correspond ence from Oklahoma expressed the hope of a large crop If frost held off until the middle of October, the present unusally cold weather may materially reduce crop prospects there Definite information in this respect will not be had until later. The lower centra! and eastern states are in no danger of cold weather of conse quence from this cold wave, but prospects are for further rains. RANGE FUTURES.

Spots have been at a premium recently and 11 5 16c basis was freely paid here for 1,000-bale lots during market hours and up to and within about an hour of the close today. Offerings are light and the country seems busy filling up short commitments for September." The New Orleans Titnes-Democrat says: In the cotton belt the coming of killing frost is usually preceded by a series of frost scares This season frost talk has ' started early. Last week there was a i frost prediction for the northw'estern por tion of the belt and light frost came in the Texas panhandle Yesterday the weather man promised low temperatures, possibly nenr freezing, in that section The returns this morning may show the thermometer tailed to drop as low as expected, but the weather students on the floor say the pointer is for frost marks on the map by Thursday morning. They. In turn, may be mistaken. Never theless, the barometric lines show a dis tinct drift toward an early fall, the one development the big crop man fears. On the other hand, cotton is piling up at Galveston, in spite of the fact that ocean freight rates are lower ar.d "relet" export room is seeking purchasers. Under the circumstances, the bear attempts to prove the untenableness of the bulls' position by saying the fact that the market re fuses io advance in the face of frost warnings demonstrates underlying weak ness. The bull takes the position that almost everybod? being against the market, the demand for ttie actual being spasmodic and frost falling to appear, would con stitute a bearish situation in the cotton i market were not underlying conditions of a strength-giving character.
