or worn
Road To Be Sued for Alleged
Violation of the Freight
Routing Law.
Because of its failure to observe
ru ]e No. 33, which requires Georgia
roads to ship unrouted freight over the
route calling for the lowest rate, the
state railroad commission has recom
mended to the governor that he proceed
in the courts against the Seaboard Air
Line railway.
The maximum penalty attaching to
violations of this rule is a fine of $5,000
and the state may move against the
road in any of the counties through
which the roads’ lines run.
The commission's rules permit a
shipper to select his own route—either
the lower or the higher—but in the ab
sence of instructions by the shipper as
to which way freight shall be shipped
the road is required to ship it via the
less expensive route.
The commission charges that the
Seaboard has refused and declined to
observe this rule and that it therefore
should be disciplined and forced to
meet the commission’s regulations.
The specific case cited in the com
mission’s communication to the gov
ernor concerns a shipment, of potatoes
from Clyo to Augusta. Instead of mak
ing this shipment via the lower freight
route, the Seaboard sent around
through South Carolina, practically
doubling the freight charges to the
shipper.
OFFICER SEARCHES IN
VAIN FOR 2 MISSING
CLEGHORN BROTHERS
ASHBURN, GA., Dec. 12.—Deputy O.
B. Jarman, after a search all of yester
day and nearly all night, last night
failed to locate Jake and Joe .Cleghorn,
for whom he had peace warrants. He
is expected to renew the search this
afternoon. It is not expected that they
will resist arrest when located.
While both Marion and Tan. Cleg
horn. wounded in Tuesday's feud bat
tle, are resting well, but little change
is noted in Marion's condition since
yesterday, and his recovery is extreme
ly doubtful.
Excitement has subsided to a great
extent, and it is believed that both the
Cleghorn and Marchman factions have
stacked arms, for the time being at
least.

COUNCIL STAVES OFF
MONUMENT REMOVAL
BY REFUSING PERMIT
MACON, GA., Dec. 12.—8 y refusing
to give the receiver of the Marietta
Marble and Granite Company permis
sion to work in a city park, the city
council is seeking to save the monu
ment to the “Women of the South,”
which was unveiled here two years ago
by the veterans and Daughters of the
Confederacy with much ceremony.
The shaft was purchased by the vet
erans. but has never been fully paid for.
The veterans presented the monument
to the Daughters of the Confederacy,
and they in turn gave it* to the city,
which erected it in the park in front of
the city hall.
The receiver for the marble company
wants to dismantle the monument be
cause of the unpaid indebtedness, but is
prevented by reason of not having the
city’s consent to work in a city park.
Members of council openly stated in
meeting that they would never willing
ly givq the permission, and referred the
request to a committee, with the re
quest that action be delayed on it as
long as possible.
The local attorney for the receiver of
the marble company states that a man
damus will probably be sought against
the city to force it to allow the dis
mantling of the monument.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12 —William D. Hay

mills.
“There is a feeling of unrest among
the employees at the stockyards and
the steel mills here,” said Haywood
“We are going to try to crystallize that
sentiment into the biggest strike we
have yet attempted. I came here be
cause I have learned that Chicago, the
greatest industrial center of the world,
is in need of our organization and
methods.
“Workmen here need better working
conditions and better nav. principally
the former. We are going to get it for
them. And our way of getting it us
ually means a desperate strike. And it
also means victory for us in the end.
no matter what the cost.
“We already have several locals at
the stockyards. It will be an easy
matter to organize more. There will be
no demand for a closed shop or de
mands of that kind. We simply want
better working conditions.”

as bearish. Heavy selling predominated,
causing a rapid decline. January dropped

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12.—New York
professional reports say the Pell inter
ests bought at least 50,000 bales yester
day, and that Watkins says the govern
ment estimate will be around 13,450,000.
This shows the bullish feeling prevailing
in that quarter
Liverpool met our advance, coming in
5 points higher this morning. Spots 1
point higher. The movement shows signs
of decreasing. The into-sight figures for
the week looks around 5.2.000, against
646,721 last year. Comparisons of mill
takings tomorrow are likely to be bullish,
as we compare with takings of only 393,-
000 bales fdr this week last year. The
heavy exports during the past eight weeks
and consequent large stock afloat will
give large landings and takings abroad,
whereas, lasi year the heavy exports and
takings did not get in until Jatluarv.
Qur market opened unchanged, gained a
few points and ruled very firm. The gen
eral disposition was to buy, but the ab
sence of sellers prevented business.

“I think the report will simply mean

“There is a growing feeling here that
positions have been evened up. so that if

shows a sudden advance, there may be a
disposition to sell it temporarily for reac

Liverpool cables: “Look for bureau of

The New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
Smaller movement; higher and firm spot
markets and spread of belief that today's
crop guess by the government will fall
below 14,000,000 bales, linters excluded,
sent additional shorts to cover, and
throughout the session the contract divi
sion reflected great strength.
The government will estimate the
growth of 1912 in 500-pound bales. The
running bale is heavier than 500 by sonae
27 pounds, according to Mr. Hester’s rec
ord thus far this season. Consequently,
the figures given by the department of
agriculture today will have to be reduced
by about 5 per cent In order to make the
figure read “commercial bales.’’ Hq„w
ever, the talent as a rule will draw no
such nice distinctions, but will ad. say,
a half million bales to the government
figures, to include linters, and then, if
the interpreter be a very large crop man,
he will add another half million bales
because the government underestimated
last year’s crop. On the other hand, the
moderate crop people, who df late have
vigorously endeavored to convince the
trade that only a scant and unimportant
remnant remains unpicked in the fields on
December 1, will claim that since the gov
ernment estimate is in 500-pound bares,
the growth, in running bales, was record
ed in smaller figures, and that any crop
under 14,750,000 bales, with consumption
running on record proportions, is bound
to constitute a bullish condition in the
cotton market.

standard stocks showed material losses,

Firm Cables and Better De-
mand Result in Fractional
Gains—Oats Irregular.
CHICAGO Dec 12.—The strength
shown in wheat this morning waa mainly
|ou the light offerings in the pit. as the . fa
: demand was not of an urgent character.
Eaaly advances were shown of % to %c •
, with sales of May at 89 to 89%©%, and
July at 86% to 86%c. The market in the ;
i old world was rather unsettled, showing
j considerable strength early but weakened
later The weather in the Argentine was -2
reported as unsettled in the first cable ~-3
received, but later it was said to have
been more favorable.
{ Corn was a shade lower on the excel
. lent weather for shelling, and movement
and the expectation that receipts will
j show marked increases. Liverpool was
! easier on the American cables and reports M
of a large acreage planted in Argentine. '
Oats were in smaller offerings and the
demand was excellent at fractionally bet
ter prices.
lb g products were firmer, although hogj
at the >ards were ;* shade lower.
The buying of wheat continued right uu , j
to the close with shorts and investors
taking hold freely and resting spots for
tiie day were % to %c higher. One of , D
i the features of the market was the fact fl
I that those who have been selling every "faa
| time a strong market was in evidence
I were slow about- putting out short lines yfl
t'xlay. *
Corn closed witli advances of % to %c fl
and resting spots were around the best
prices reftehed
Oats were %c lower to about %c high
‘ er and hog products were fractionally bet
ter all around

i BREAK IN STOCKS; CAUSES
GRAIN PRICE DEPRESSION
' T’l
I CHICAGO. Dec. 12. —The Inter-Ocean
I says:
| “Speculators who were bullish on grain
yesterday said after the close that the
decline from the top prices was chiefly
due to the break in stocks. It was said
I that the local professionals were well out
| of their wheat, but only part of the early
buyers of corn had unloaded. It was
i the belief that any improvement in the
stock nrarket would tend to create more
| confidence among holders of grain. Bears
! on all grains regarded bulges as only tem
i porary and said that advances should be
taken advantage of to make sales.
“Conservative commission houses ad- |
vise a trading position on all grains.”

MACON FOLK SEEK BAN
ON NEGRO LOCKER CLUBS
MACON, GA, Dec. 12. —City council
has been asked by a score of prominent
property owners and business firms to
■ refus- to renew the licenses in 1913 for
the negro locker clubs and saloons on
Fourth street, between Mulberry and
Cherry, and it is very likely that the re
quest will be granted.
The saloons will neither be allowed in
the future on Cotton avenue, the city's ,
most frequented shopping thoroughfare.
It is the tendency of council to Inhibit
the operation of saloons in the heart of
the commercial district or where prop
erty values may Im- affected.
