X TTTE \TLAXTA OEORC.IAX AND NEWS uU IP M HFF CUTS 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
