TITTC ATLANTA OKOPOTAX AND NEWS. TEXTILE HKERS SCORE COTTON TUFF CUTS JUST LIKE A WOMAN STREET CROWDS CAROLINA YOUTH Petition to Congress Asserts Democrats Forget Pledges and Industry Will Suffer. WASHINGTON, July 24.—A petition j •igned by more than 60 leading cotton manufacturing and distributing firms in the Tnited States. protesting against the cotton tariff rates in the bill now under consideration in the Senate, has been presented to boih Houses of Congress The petition reads 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- The Democratic platform de clared and promised: “We recognize that our system of tariff taxation i« intimately connected with tne business 4 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 many 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 States. 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 f'»r 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 Non - Destructive Rates. Sixth. We 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 is better to err on >e vide or safety than to subject ♦’ e industry at this time to the proposed rates more especially on productions of from medium to better grades of goods. We deplore the discrimination that subjects the cotton textile trade to these needless hardships. Real Estate Operator Accused of Anderson, S.

LA GRANGE, July 24.—Members of the Georgia Weekly Press Associa tion left LaGrange this morning for Brunswick, still discussing Governor John Marshall Platon’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 w’hat he declared to be the most serious financial crisis in the history of the State. He said that Georgia’s tax system and reckless spending by the Legislature have brought about pres ent conditions, w’hen the State finds Itself unable to pay its school-teach ers. ”We must admit It Is Indefensible to maintain a system that pays its teachers a year after 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 tax levy. In two years, the Treasurer says, w r e have spent nearly three- quarters of a million more than our income. The teachers—patient and hard-working—teaching during the day and w’orking examinations at night—molding the characters and training the minds of those upon whom our civilization depends—under our system find no ray of hope from the Injustice they suffer. Recommends Special Taxes. “While unpleasant to do, I have recommended a levy—an exira tax of 1 mill for 1015, and 1-2 mill Tn 1916, os the brave way to get relief. The tax payer will find it the best trade he ever made It w'ould prevent the Im position of drastic taxing law’s, the deficit in the treasury would be satis fied, the State could say to purchaw^rs of her bonds that she Is on a solid financial basis, her teachers w'ould be 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 of equalization of taxes that has been recommended by the Legislature. Favors Tax Equalization. “Is not equalization just that re quires all to pay the same percent age?” 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.” The editors will arrive at Bruns wick this afternoon and enjoy an out ing of several days In that city and at St. Simons Island, where the Sec ond Georgia Infantry is in camp.

Mother’s Lips Keep Baby Alive 10 Days LOS ANGELES, CAL., July 24.— Determined that her baby boy shoul l live, though three physicians declared he would die In 48 hours, Mrs. J. H. Spaulding, of Oklahoma City, kept tho j stabbing ensued, spark of life aglow ten days. It is considered the most remarkable case of artificial respiration on record. While hundreds 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 j Thursday morning. One of the men received serious injuries. I The wounded man gave his name as Burnett Goodman. He said he was manager of a gum company and lived at No. 36 Moore street. His as sailant gave his name as M. B. Ware, 41 year.- 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. He w^s taken to the Grady Hospital. Aft er his injuries were attended to he was removed to the police station, where a charge of disorderly conduci was lodged against him. Refuses to Explain Attack. Ware, who voluntarily surrendered to Policeman Bostwick, 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 ine and without a word began striking at me with a knife. I dodged his blows as well 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’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 are declared to have had some difficulty at that time, but re frained from violence. Thursday morning, however, when they met, the Heir to $250,000, Killed in Philadelphia Tenderloin. PHII. A DELPHI A, July 24.—Wilbur Martin, the young sailor from Ander son. S. O., who 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 mail In the navy. The fascination that the sea held 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 lo give up his adventurous life and settle down Jn Anderson. The lure of the sea w’as too gTeat, how’ever, 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, which is supposed to have belonged to him. Hospital physicians say drugs caused his death and it is believed he was the victim of “knockout drops.” Metropolitan Gets Abbey’s ‘King Lear 1 NEW YORK, July 24—The Metro politan Museum of Art has come into possession of “King Lear,” one of the most beautiful and noted of the paint ings of Edwin A.
