Petition to Congress Asserts
Democrats Forget Pledges and
Industry Will Suffer.
WASHINGTON, July 24—A petition
signed by more than 60 leading cotton
manufacturing and distributing Arms
in the United States. protesting
igainst the cotton tariff rates in the
sill now under consideration in the
Senate, hna been presented to both
Houses of Congress The petition
*eads as follows:
We herewith voice our protest
against the enactment Into law of
the unequal provisions covering
cotton textiles, as disclosed by the
various proposed rates published
July 11, 1913, embodied in the bill
passed by the House of Represen
tatives and amended by the Sen
ate majority (Democratic) cau
cus.
The Democratic platform de
clared and promised:
"We recognize that our system
of tariff taxation is Intimately
connected with tne business of
the country, and we favor the
ultimate attainment of the prin
ciples we advocate by legislation
that will not injure or destroy
legitimate industry.”
Say Business Will Suffer.
First. We can not reconcile
this with the low rates now pro
posed, which in man/ instances
must injure legitimate industry.
Second. We point out that we
fairly represent the primary and
other distributors of cotton tex
tiles, handling productions of both
North and South which go to
every city, town and village in the
United State®.
Third. The rates generally are
below what they should be. The
amendments made are Inadequate
to fix competitive rates in ac
cordance with the promises of the
Democratic platform.
Fourth. As we understand it,
the purposes of the tariff revision
generally were to reduce duties,
but not to disturb or inflict pun
ishment on any branch of legiti
mate industry, and there has been
no demand to overdo the reduc
tion. especially In cotton textiles, .
as in many instances is the case.
Fifth. Some Illustrations: Fail
ure to provide higher adequate
rates for cotton textiles made of
combed yarns than if made of
ordinary yarns, or higher ade
quate for finished plain woven or
figured cloths than for grey; put
ting rates for jacquards on same
basis as for ordinary cloths, and
actually omitting jacquards in
Senate amendments, etc . etc.
Offered Npn - Destructive Rates.
Sixth. V|7e indorse the effort of
the Independent Manufacturers
of New England, who have will
ingly accepted great reductions,
but asked that consistent and
non-destructive rates, if on a
competitive basis, should prevail.
We believe that they have
pointed out the lowest possible
competitive rates which In opera
tion would be consistent and fair
to the different branches of the
industry—North and South. We
do not comprehend why their rec
ommendations have not been re
ceived in the spirit given.
Seventh We point out that it In
better to err on the side or safety
than to subject the Industry at
this time to the proposed rates
more especially on productions of
from medium to better grades of
good*
We deplore the discrimination
that subjects the cotton textile
trade to these needle** hardships.

I tried this treatment for about a

the treatment up for about a
month, and then my face was clear
of all pimples. I have used Res

t r *
Real Estate Operator Accused of
Knife Attack After Dis
pute Over a Bet.
While hundred?’ of pedestrians,
many of them women and children,
looked on, two men engaged In a
stabbing affray on Peachtree street
across from the Candler Building
Thursday morning. One of the men
received serious injuries.
The wounded man gave his name
as Burnett Goodman. Hr? said he w r as
manager of a gum company and
lived at No. 36 Moore street. His as
sailant gave his name as M. B. Ware,
41 years* old, a real estate operator
living at No. 30 Highland avenue
Ware is a one-armed man. He was
released on bond of $100.
Goodman was slashed about the
right side of the face and neck. Hr
was taken to the Grady Hospital. Aft
er his injuries were attended to he
was removed to the police station,
where a charge of disorderly conduct
was lodged against him.
Refuses to Explain Attack.
Ware, who voluntarily surrendered
to Policeman Boat wick, declared that
"he had cut him because he wanted to
cut him.” Other than that, he re
fused to give an explanation of his
action.
.Ware used a pocket knife as his
weapon.
According to Goodman, Ware at
tacked him without provocation.
"I was walking down the street with
a friend, when Ware came up to me
and without a word began striking
at me with a knife. I dodged his
blows as w r ell as I could and tried to
run, but the knife caught me twice
across the face. Then I got away and
ran, but Ware followed me. If it had
not been for someone stopping him
he would have killed me, I believe.”
Bet Given as Cause of Fight.
The affair is said to have been the
result of an argument over a "book”
on a baseball game. According to in
formation given the police. Ware on
Wednesday made a bet w r lth Good
man of $125 on the game played that
afternoon.
It was said that Goodman was ac
customed to making "books” on base
ball games, and that Ware, in lieu of
the cash to put up, posted a $20 for
feit to cover his bet.
According to the report, Ware failed
to put up the remaining $105 before
the game was played, and when the
team which he bet on won, and he at
tempted to collect the bet from Good
man. the bookmaker refused to pay.
The two art declared to have had
some difficulty at that time, but re
frained from violence. Thursday
morning, however, when they met, the
stabbing ensued.
OPTIMISTIC AT 110.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL., July 24.—
James Morgan, of Grundy County
has just celebrated his 110th birth
day. He expects to live anothei
decade.
LA GRANGE, July 24— Members
of the Georgia^ Weekly Press Associa
tion left LaGrange this morning for
Brunswick, still discussing * Governor
John Marshall Slaton’s scathing ar
raignment of Georgia’s tax system at
the annual banquet of the association
Wednesday night. The Governor ap
pealed to the editors for aid in what
he declared to be the most serious
financial crisis in the history of the
State. He ‘•‘aid that Georgias tux
system and reckless spending by the
Legislature have brought about pres
ent conditions, when the State finds
itself unable to pay its school-teach
ers.
"We must admit it is indefensible
to maintain a system that pay?* its
teachers a year aftpr their work has
been performed,” Governor Slaton
said. "It is pleasant to spend money
and hard to make It. We love to ap
propriate, yet shrink from the lux
levy. In two years, the Treasurer
says, we have spent nearly three-
quarters of a million more than our
Income. The teachers—patient and
hard-working-—tenching during the
day and working examinations at
night—molding the characters and
training the minds* of those upon
whom our civilization depends under
our svstem find no ray of hope from
the injustice they suffer.
Recommends Special Taxes.
"While unpleasant to do. I have
recommended a levy -*an extra tax of
1 mill for 1916, and 1-2 mill in 1916. as
the brave way to get reli< f The tax
payer will find it the best trade he
ever made. It would prevent the im
position of drastic taxing laws, the
deficit in the treasury would be satis
fied, the State could say to purchasers
of her bond* that she is on a solid
financial basis, her teachers would bt
paid, and the kiting policy, which is
opposed to all sound principle, would
be abolished.”
Governor Slaton emphatically de
clared himself in favor of the plan <*f
equalization of taxes that has been
recommended by the Legislature.
Favor* Tax Equalization.
"Is not equalization just that re-
q«ir< s all to pay the same percent
age 0 " he asked. "Is It right that one
many pays on 16 per cent of the value
of his property when another pays on
40? An increase of 20 per cent, by
simply equalizing the burden, not in
creasing that of him who is already
bearing his part, would produce an
abundance of revenue for every legiti
mate purpose.”
Th£ 'editors will arrive at Bruns-
wick rhi j ft err ion and y an ml
inc of < \ - in * t . • i,J
at St. Simons Island, where the Sec
ond Georgia Infantry is in camp.
Ponce DeLeon Would Certainly
Have Believed Their Loveli
ness Immortal.
If Ponce DeLeon were upon the
earth to-day and should come to At
lanta in search of the fountain of
youth he certainly would think he
had found it in the galaxy of beauty
in the booster button contest. A look
through the photographs of the beau
ties who have been nominated would
almost convince one that the loveli
ness is immortal.
Miss Helen Irving, of No. 385 Cher
okee avenue, is the newest entrant.
She is fair skinned, with dark hair,
sea-blue eyes and a cameo profile.
And it is predicted that she will get
many votes in the remaining days of
the contest.
Votes for the favorites are flowing
in. The nominations have by no
means ceased, but the contest has
gone far enough for there to be fa
vorites.
Do you remember the slogan for
the ”500,000 club" booster buttons
that is to go under the picture of the
girl voted the fairest? It is:
"Watch Atlanta She’ll Get You
Yet. 500.000 by 1920.”
Clip the coupon and nominate
I whom you think is Atlanta’s pret-
\ tiest girl, or vote for your favorite
if she already has been nominated.

We have in our possession a pre
scription f«>r nervous debility, lack of
vigor, weakened manhood, failing
memory and lame back, brought on
by excesses, unnatural drains, or the

Anderson, S. C., Boy, Recently
Heir to $250,000, Killed in
Philadelphia Tenderloin,
PHILADELPHIA, July 24.—Wilbur
Martin, the young sailor from Ander
son, S. C., w T ho was killed here re
cently in a tenderloin saloon, was
worth more than $250,000 in his own
right, according to information re
ceived here to-day. He was the rich
est enlisted man in the navy.
The fascination that the sea heid
for him and the adventures of a naval
career led him to give up the enjoy
ment of his fortune to become a com
mon seaman on the battleship Con
necticut.
He inherited this fortune when his
mother died last March. His relatives
at once began to plead with him to
give up his adventurous life and settle
down In Anderson. The lure of the
sea was too great, however, and ne
disregarded their pleadings and ad
vice. In despair, his relatives ap
pealed to Washington, but this last
hope was without avail.
The mysterious circumstances sur
rounding the death of Martin are
thought to have been explained by the
discovery to-day of a bottle of heroin,
w'hich is supposed to have belonged
to him.
Hospital physician* say drugs
caused his death and it is believed he
was the victim of "knockout drops.”
