Negro Who Tried to Effect
Wholesale Escape Given
Extra Thirty Days.
Thirty days additional time was the
penalty rnetd today by Recorder
Broyles to George Smith, a giant ne
•uo convict, who yesterday afternoon
mutinied in the city stockade, attempt
'd to effect a wholesale escape, and,
when detected, defied .he guards.
With a.pick with which he was at
work, the negro severed the shackles
•.bout his own ankles, and had the
■hackles almost off another convict
then he was detected by Guard E. A.
Mullinn. The guard ordered the negro
to go to the blacksmith shop and have
ais legs reshackled, but he refused. Not
wanting to shoot the convict, Mullins
summoned the blacksmith, leaving J.
(’. Stubbs, another employee, to guard
the negro with a pistol.
While Mullins was seeking the black
smith, the big convict ridiculed Stubbs,
•ursed him and threatened to take his
pistol.
"Don't get too gay with that gun, or
111 take it away from you and give you
good beating,” he exclaimed derisive
ly as he defied Stubbs to shoot him.
The latter kept the negro coveted,
and told him he would blow out his
brains if he made a move.
When the blacksmith arrived. Smith
made no further attempt at violence
md was manacled heavily.
RECORDS DEMANDED
BY V. S. IN HARVESTER
TRUST SUIT MISSING
CHICAGO, Nov. '27.—Edwin D.
Grosvenor, government prosecutor in
the suit of the government being heard
here to dissolve the International Har
vester Company, today made strenuous
efforts to obtain certain sales reports of
that company. The first witnes called
was E. P. Wood, secretary of the sales
department of the company. Mr. Wood
declared that he was unable to find the
eports asked for by the government.
In response to searching questions, he
denied having given any orders to de
stroy any papers taken from the files of
the alleged Harvester trust. He was
asked the direct question as to whether
or not any such reports had been de
stroyed, and replied that he knew noth
ing about it.
Mr. Wood was ordered to continue Ills
search for the missing papers.
William Gale, assistant secretary of
the selling organization, testified that
iie had been unable to find any re
ports of the twine and liber committee,
vhich he had been ordered to produce.
If* also was ordered to continue the
sea roll.
R. C. Haskins was next called, and
denied any knowledge of the sales re
ports which were so much desired.
WAR ON WASTE PAPER
AS FIRE MENACE BEGUN
Merchants and manufacturers who
have been in the habit of allowing their
waste paper and packing from boxes
to be scattered over basements had
better be careful in the future. Eire
Inspector Gattis has started his annual
winter crusade against such careless
ness and his first case for the fall of
1912 wa made today.
D. B. Carson, agent for the Western
md Atlantic railroad, was the first of
■ nder to be caught by Inspector Oattis,
who declared that (’arson had allowed
the employees of the road to pile straw,
vaste paper and packing on the rail
oad floor of t,he Steiner-Emery build
ing. just above the Whitehall street
viaduct. The Y. W. C. A. has its
headquarters in this building, as have
other organizations.

CLEMENCY SOUGHT
FOR YOUNG CONVICT
FROM STATESBORO
Application for executive clemency
In behalf of John Searsboro, 19 years
old. sent up for burglary front States
boro two years ago, was made before
Governor Brown today.
Young Searsboro’s application is in
dorsed by many leading citizen's of
Statesboro, and his sister, Mrs. T. L.
Zetterrower, appeared in person before
the governor today, witli the prisoner’s
lawyer, Colonel Jule Anderson, of
Statesboro, to plead the ease.
The prison commission has recom
mended a pardon, because the prisoner
has been well behaved, is extremely
youthful, and was led into the crime by
an older man.
The governor has not indicated his
intentions, but the impression is that a
parole, rather than a full pardon, will
be issued, if clemency in any form is
extended.

NEWBURGER S ESTIMATE

Joseph Newburger, of Memphis,
Tenn., in tis annual estimate on the
cotton crop, places his figures for the
cotton ciop of 1912-13 at 13.600,000
bale'-, including linters and repacks. He
said:
’ Last year our estimate was 15,800,-
000 bales, minimum, and we said that
the crop would exceed these figures. We
now say 13,600.000 bales, maximum,
commercial crop, and believe it will be
under this.”
Mr. Newburger says this is the most
disappointing crop ever known.
The following shows his estimate by
states:

NEW Y’ORK, Nov. 27. Heavy buying j
orders from the larger spot interests and )
other big professionals resulted in the
cotton market opening stead} tos!aj,
i prb’es showing a net gain of 5 to
;IX points from the final <»F Tuesday.
; New high h'vels were recorded in every
t option on the list. The phenomenal
’ strength in Liverpool cables was used i
las the principal factor for the steady :
; market here. Shorts covering helped the i
: advance. After the call: prices showed a
j further advance of 5 to b points in most
active months from the initial quota- '
lions.
A wave of heavy selling predominated I
over the market during the earlv fore- i
noon trading, which was said to be scat- |
tered Lmgs taking profit. This caused a :
sagging tendency In the market and De- t
•‘umber decline to 12.59; .January to 12.C8 '
and March to 12.71. One large house was I
said to have sold fully 50,000 bales, while
other operators who have been bullish I
were noticeable sellers. However, the
market absorbed the offerings remarkably
well and prices were firmly maintained
around the initial figures during the aft
ernoon session. Spot interests continued
aggressive.
A big broker was report cd a good
buyer, which was said to be for foreign
account. Mr. Joseph Newburger, of Mem
phis, was out with a bullish crop esti
mate of 13,60V,000 bales. This stimulated
the market to some extent. The bull
leaders are advising their friends to buy
cotton, as crop estimates are being low- I
ered and the spot demand continues good.
Shorts covered today on fear of running
their lines over the holiday tomorrow,
and prices during the late trading re
gained the early decline, establishing new
high levels for the season.
At the close the market was steady with
prices showing a .net gain of 1.367 15 points,
with the exception of September, which I
closed 3 points off and October unchanged !
from the final quotations of Tuesday.
