Senate Takes No Action on a
Motion to Table Sweat’s
School Measure.
With the motion before it to table
Senator Sweat’s compulsory educa
tion bill, which precipitated a bitter
fight led by Senators McNeill and
Allen, the Senate adjourned Friday
afternoon shortly before 1 o'clock
without taking any action on the hill.
Both Senators McNeill and Allen
made a vigorous attack on the bill,
the former charging that its only ef
fect would be to let down the flood
gates for the entrance of negro chil
dren into the public schools. Senator
Sweat, the author of the bill, denied
this, whereupon Senator Allen charg
ed that the bill was illegally consti
tuted in that case, as it discriminated
between white and black, which is
contrary to the laws of the State.
The consideration of the bill will be
continued Friday afternoon.
The Senate Friday morning passed
unanimously the new charter for At
lanta, with amendments providing
for the submission of the initiative,
referendum and recall clause and the
proposed limitation of the Recorder’s
power to the people before enaction
Into law*.
Abolishes Clerk’s Office.
The new' charter as amended pro
vides for the abolition of the present
office of chief clerk of the city tax
department and substitutes therefor
a board of tax assessors and receiv
ers, who shall nominate a chief clerk,
subject to the confirmation first by
the tax committee of the General
Counncil and ultimately by the Gen
eral Council. This provision will not
be submitted to the vote of the peo
ple. The bill provides further for the
initiative and referendum and the
recall of all heads of departments, in
cluding the Mayor and members of
the Council, upon the petition of a
certain percentage of registered vot
ers, and for the proper inspection of
all elevators and boilers within the
city limits.
The new charter, as passed by the
Senate, will be pent back to the House
for its approval preparatory to final
submission to the Governor.
The Senate also passed Mr. Mc
Gregor’s bill providing for a hearing
by the Governor before trustees of
public institutions shall be dismissed.
According to the provisions of the bill
such dismissal can be made only up
on the recommendation of a majority
of the members of the board of trus
tees of the institution affected.
New Bills in Senate.
Among the new' bills introduced in
the Senate Friday morning was a
resolution by Senators Allen and Mc
Gregor. requesting the State Board of
Education to Investigate the advis
ability of introducing in the schools
of the State “Webster’s Blue Back
Speller.” which was used in the com
mon schools a half century ago and
“is still better than those used to-
dav,” according to Major McGregor.
Senator Ollff, of the Fourth, also
Introduced a resolution requesting
the United States Government to
make an appropriation to preserve
Fort Frederick, on St. Simons Islantf,
a relic of the days of General Ogle
thorpe, first Governor of Georgia,
The Senate Committee on Constitu
tional Amendments, headed by Sena
tor Harrell, of the Twelfth, reported
favorably Friday the two constitu
tional amendment taxing measures
which were introduced at the instance
of Governor Slaton. The bill creating
a commission to investigate the re
lease of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, which was defeated Thurs
day, was also reported on favorably
following recommitment.
In addition to the general bills, the
Senate passed the House bill giving
the secret ballot to the city of Au
gusta.

Heavy Buying Based on Deterior
ation Reports From West—Of
ferings Extremely Light.
NEW YORK, Aug. 8.— Uneasiness was
again expressed to-day over weather
conditions in Texas, and when the cot
ton market opened, prices were at a net
advance of 5 to 11 points !>om Thurs
day’s final. New crops were tne strong
est, August showing an udvunce of 15
points immediately after the opening
The opening quotation was 11.75 ami the
next figure was 11.85.
There was no rain shown on the map,
as had been generally expected and local
weather experts failed to see any in
sight Just at present and the market
was bought freely from strong sources.
Shorts were also good buyers, but on the
rally there seemed to be some cotton
for sale as sentiment continues very
bearish. Later the maiket eased off
sharply on reports of rain at Galveston
and El Paso and less support was in
evidence.
Because the detailed weather map
fafied to show any rains over the west
ern belt, and private reports of deteri
orations in Arkansas and Oklahoma
caused by tTic high temperatures and
dry weather, the market developed a
steady tone during the afternoon ses
sion. resulting in a rapid advance in
prices from the early low point. Some
of the large spot interests continue to
buy on all reactions, which is encour
aging to the bul' element.
The bulls contend if rain does not
come in the West within the next week
that very serious damage will result and
the feeling is now becoming more bull
ish. The market is very easily influ
enced on any weather news and prices
will he governed accordingly.
J.t the close the market was tseady
with July at unchanged quotation and
other positions at a net advance of 8 to
11 points from the final quotations of

RANGE IN NEW YORK FUTURES.
I BOSTON. Aug 8.—More inquiry has
developed in the wool market during the
past week, probably stimulated by the
increased demand for lightweight goods,
following the recent openings by leading
mills. Total sales are estimated at fully
2.000,000 pounds, the business being
distributed among the leading houses
and covering most of the desirable
grades. Primary markets are now well
cleaned up. except In Ohio, but even
there very little is doing and buyers are
coming home. Prices here are un
changed.
Liquidation of holdings wherever a
profit is shown is the policy in favor
and some transfers, it is said, have been
made at a very small margin.
Receipts in pounds for the week ended

MODERN MILLER CROP REPORT.
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 8.—The hot and dry
weather which prevailed over a large
part of the country this week, while in
juring the growing crops, was favorable
for harvesting, storage and marketing
of winter wheat, but delayed plowing of
land for seeding of wheat hi the fall.
However, there is no apprehension felt,
as there still is ample time for this work
w ith favorabe weather conditions.
That there is more attention being given
to the preparations of the soil ami se
lection of seed is indicated by the larger
yields and better quality of w’inter
wheat. Thrashings continue to show
larger yields than has been expected
and the quality of the grain is of the
best.
There Is still a steady movement of
w’heat to market, as the yield is so much
larger than has been estimated and that
most farmers are willirg to part with
at least a portion of their crop.

HAYWARD <S CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 8. -The map
shows cloudy weather prevailing over
the eastern half of the belt and south
Texas; generally fair elsewhere. Show
ers were quite general east of the River,
but none are shown west. Indications
are for increasing cloudiness with pros
pects for precipitation to come on the
eastern States over Sunday Cloudy and
showery w’eather In indicated for the
central and eastern States.
Liverpool was poor at first but ral
lied on the absence of rain in the West.
Spot prices 6 points lower; sales 8,000
bales First traders here were at an
advance of about 6 points on nervous
covering by shorts on the Government
forecast of fair weather to-day and to
morrow in Oklahoma and Texas, but
prices soon dropped to last night's clos
ing figures when Galveston reported
heavy rain. New York says the declin
ing tendency is due more to the differ
ence of speculation to furnish support
than to w’eather prospects
Trading is very quiet, waiting for
weather developments in the western
Si; tes over Sunday.
Spot people report the inquiry for ear
ly new shipments Is still disappointingly
slow

CHICAGO. Aug. 8—The weather over
the greater portion of the corn belt was
again hot and dry, although in sections
of Nebraska anq Iowa it was reported
as cooler. Northeastern and eastern
as well as northern and central
Illinois were visited by raijis last night,
hut as an offset to this a message was
received from Kansas City, saying that
n .®L ,rie sections of Missouri the crop
will be a total failure, and that in others
It will not average over 50 per cent. The
forecast of the weather bureau up to to
morrow evening shows no relief In sight
for the corn crop. News of this nature,
as well as generally bullish feeling in the
corn market brought further upturns of
% fa Y»c at the opening this morning.
The strength in the corn market car
ried wheat %® %c higher at the open
ing. in spite of the generally bearish
qews received from the Old World as well
as our own and the Canadian North
west. Weather In Europe was favorable
for harvesting and movement, and car
goes at Liverpool were freely offered ut
concessions. Fine general rains were re
ported tn the Canadian Northwest, which
are good for the Ailing of the crops, and
beneficial rains were reported In our
own Northwest
The corn market had a strengthening
influence on oats and sales were made at
tJgher levels.
Trading in provisions was rather light
early, but the market had a stronger
undertone, being Influenced to some ex
tent by the strength In coarse grains and
he higher market for hogs at the yards.

The stock market shows some hesita
tion pending the publication of the Gov
ernment crop report on grain Should
the estimate on corn be above 75. we be
lieve it would be construed as moder
ately bullish on the stock market. The
large interests have the market well in
hand, and unless reports of serious dam
age to the corn crop are confirmed, we
believe that stocks will continue to ad
vance.—G. D. Potter.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean says: “Many
wheat traders regard the market as a
carrying charge proposition and say that
unless there is a material improvement
In the export demand, which has flat
tened out of late, prices may go lower.
Corn prices are so nigh that even many
of the boldest operators are timid about
ng long, except on sharp breaks;
they are easily scared bv reports of rain.
A Government report is due to-day at
1:15 p m. It is expected to lower the
condition of corn 10 points or over from
that of 86.9 last month.

Bartlett, Frazier & Co. say. “Wheat
—The weather In the Northwest is
partly cloudy with light scattered show
ers. The cash demand for wheat con
tinues light. Yesterday's shipping sales
were only 45.000 bushels. l/ocal senti
ment is still general y bearish, with
trade of small proportions and very lit
tle outside buying
“Corn The weather map shows no
precipitation In Kansas or Nebraska,
with a few scattered showers in Iowa
and northern Illinois, also In the Ohio
valley High temperatures prevailed
again yesterday *yest of the river, and
no general improvement in londitioas Is
noted.
“In our opinion the situation contin
ues one of great strength, although we
must expect a very nervous market and
temporary setbacks on the present price
level
“Oat#—The market is showing a
rather steady undertone, helped doubt
lessly by the continued strength in corn,
but also due to some less favorable
thrashing returns and a better cash in
quiry.
“Provisions—Hog receipts are slightly
under estimates Pork is showing con
siderable strength with a broader range
tn prices. The market seems to have a
generally steady tone."
