Gainesville Postmaster Sees
Collusion of Her Opponents
and Power Trust.
Helen D. Longstreet today de
'.need Henry S. Jackson, the Georgia
Company and H. H. Dean! of
Gainesville, as the prime movers in the
to oust her from the Gainesville
postoffke.
The papers announce that Henn S.
la, kson’ of Atlanta, is about to relieve
. of the commission of the Gaines
, . .stottice. in the interest of Judge
B. Gaston, on the charge of ’pemi
. ~U s activity’ in Colonel Roosevelt’s
campaign,” said Mrs. Longstreet.
>'v.s invited by President Taft’s
. : q ign manager to support President
Taft. If I had supported Mr. Taft, that
would not have been ‘pernicious activ
iv' til the Georgia delegates to Mr.
Taft's convention at Chicago were Fed
< ..1 office holders. They were not
guilty of ‘pernicious activity.’ Since the
.’•lvil war the Republican party in the
South has been limited to Federal of
liee holders.
Sees Big Job for Jackson.
Mr. Jackson, since his appointment,
i : .s been guilty of more ‘pernicious po
litical activity’ than any man I know
of in Georgia, and is today, if he is
lying to relieve me of the commission
of the Gainesville postoffice. But Mr.
Jackson Ims undertaken a big Job, on
th” eve of Woodrow Wilson’s adminis
tration.
-Il was announced at Chicago that
Gaston had been promised the Gaines*
> lie po-tofiice for his support of Pres-
m Taft. I vired to Chicago on that
, -a.-i, n that the goods could not be
i. 'ii red. 1 make the same announce
nent today.
"My commission reads something
|ij;. this: 'By and with the consent of
the American senate.’ There are some
nighty big American statesmen who
stand between me and Mr. Jackson,
turning that Mr. Jackson is guilty of
iiu scheme with which he has been
charged.
Alleged Collusion With Trust.
If Mr. Jackson is making a fight on
me. he merely represents the Georgia
Railway and Power Company, by mar
riage. I understand that Mr. Jackson

liGOOD BUSINESS
I INBMTL
I Many Deals Made Last Week.
Building Permits Smash All
Previous Records.
Real estate men are pondering today
over figures which show that a good busi
ness in realty was done last week. Some
of the big sales follow:
The property at 21-23 Ivy street, sold by
the Atlanta Ileal Estate Board, brought
$40,000; property on North Butler street,
some 300 feet north of Decatur street,
was sold by George P. Moore for Mrs.
Daisy E. Ryan to J. B. Smith for $22,000;
the 116 by 104 property at the northeast
corner of Spring and West Harris streets
brought $60,000. This was sold by S. E.
Davidson for the Realty Trust Company
to Byron Souders, and the latter will
erect an eight-story bachelor hotel on it
in the spring.
Nos. 16 and 20 IVest North avenue, be
tween the Peachtrees, was sold by B. M.
Grant & Co., for D. M. and Johtw M.
McCullough to an out-of-town customer,
for $25,000. The lot is 75 by 125.
For $37,000, the property at Nos. 19 and
21 Garnett street went to I. P. Bradley
from S. Y. Pruitt, of Upson county, and
John P. Murray. This property is 55 by
190, and has a substantial building on it.
C. H. Black and R. L. Turman, of Tur
man, Black & Calhoun, sold for $11,700,
to Messrs. Reeves and Myers the north
west corner of Juniper and Tenth streets.

This fronts 144 feet on Juniper and has
a depth of 123 feet.
For $22,500 cash, the Martin-Ozburn

B. M. Grant & Co., George P. Moore
and others sold for the Walton Realty

division along Nassau street for an ag
gregate of $400,000.
Building permits for November jumped
nearly a million dollars. Saturday they
were $1,236,431. and for the same period
last year only $41,6,508. The total for
the year to date is about $9,100,000, and
the indications are that December will
bring the toal to $10,000,000, easily a rec
ord over previous years.
There were several important lease an
nouncements during the week. The mar
ket has seen more activity of late in
warehouse leases and vacant lots sales
than it -has in sales of ready-built homes.
An interesting announcement of Sat
urday was thta Edwin P. Ansley had of

GENERAL SELLING
PUTS COTTON OFF
; Decline Prevails in Face of
j Bullish Sentiment—Opinions
Confused—Cables Weak.
i
[ Y< jIIK, Dec. 2. —Weakness in Liv-
| erpool cables and a general unloading
movement at the opening of the cotton
market here today resulted in the mar
ket opening quiet, with prices h net de
cline of from 10 to 14 points from Satur
day s final. However, The Orleans
ii ts crop estimate of
10.9 4 5.000 bales, exclusive of linters and
was a bullish character,
inis, however, did not stimulate the niar-
Ket. Sentiments from over the belt are
very bullish, but a disposition prevailed
among traders to liquidate, whica is said
to work prices to lower level to renew
their lines.
.. Tbe selling continued general during
the first fifteen minutes, while the buy
ing was small and scattered, most of the
absorption coining by the larger spot in
tersts. After the call, prices receded 5
points from the initial figures.
1 rading was of a light character during
the forenoon and prices sagged about the
early decline. The selling of the Hell
interest brought out renewed selling from
outsiae speculators. However, offerings
were absorbed remarkably well. National
; ginners, of Memphis, was said to be
bearish in their report on ginned bales to
December 1, making the total 11,850,000
bales, also many expect the government
report, to be issued next Monday, to show
large ginnings. This is having a depress
ing effect upon the market, dinning last
year from Nevember 14 to December 1
bales, and after that time
3,300,000 bales were ginned.
During the late session the large spot
houses continued their aggressiveness and
scattered buying by the ring crowd, who
seems short, held prices ranging about
unchanged from the opening.
Heavy realizing during the last half
hour caused a further decline of about 12
to 15 points from the opening. At the
close the market was barely steady with
prices a net decline of 12 to 34 points
from the final quotations of Saturday.

COURT DECISION

Ruling of Supreme Tribunal on
Union Pacific Merger Case
Causes Sharp Declines.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
Dec. 2.—Substantial gains
on brisk trading were made in the initial
sale al the opening of the stock market
todax, following vigorous advances in
tjOndon. There was also good buying of
some of the specialties. Most interest
was attached to Union Pacific, which sold
at 14 at the start, ex-dividend per
<’ent, making a net gain of I point over
Saturday s final. Canadian Pacific, which
opened at 266» 4 ex-dividend 2 1 *. per cent,
also gained 1 point.
The market tone was strong on favor-
e 4»R ew . s as to Balkan situation.
I ossibilitios of trust decisions from the
United States supreme court today and
further possibilities from the session of
congress which opened today were not
factors In the early trading.
Among other gains were Amalgamated
Copper ig, American Beet Sugar v B , Atch

dend per cent) Utah Copper
I nited States Rubber Southern Pa
cific i ex-dividend 7 R . Sears Roe

Lehigh Valley I H . Erie t 4.
There were some London buying of
< hesapeake and Ohio, which sent that is
sue up for a gain. Anaconda Copper
was one of the few declining stocks, los
ing H.
A waiting tone was shown in the late
forenoon, and whatever price changes oc
curred were in the shape of fractional
losses. Brokers were inclined to await
possible decisions by the United States
supreme court. Fractional declines were
noted in Canadian Pacific, Reading, United
States Rubber and American Can com
mon.
A selling movement was directed
against Union Pacific in the final hour,
following the supreme court decision
holding the market of the Southern Pa
cific and Union Pacific railroads illegal,
ihe balance of the list was supported
strongly, with the Jesuit that after <le-
Si n J, n “ points ot 169, It moved up to
I‘l 7 8- Most of the selling was by pro
fessional bear traders in and out of the
stock exchange. Other securities related
to the Union Pacific system were very
active.
