IT An Pill CCiHester’s Weekly nL) nULLu Cotton Statistics The movement Inaugurated among the lawyers of the Atlanta bar to have one of their number appointed to the new judgeship of the Atlanta Circuit recently created by the Legislature seems to be gaining weight and im portance. Already more than a majority of the active members of the bar have signed a request to the Governor to that effect, and others are Joining the movement daily. The signers want an Atlanta man for an Atlanta judge- ship, and their contention is ap parently growing in popularity. Hollins N. Randolph, chairman of the committee of 25 members of the Atlanta bar. when seen Saturday by a Georgian reporter, said: New Law Misinterpreted. 'There seems to be a rather gen eral impression that the act creating l the Fourth Division of the Superior PCourt of Fulton County terminates f the right of the judge of the Stone ' Mountain Circuit to preside in the f Superior Court of the Atlanta Cir- Ecuit, but this is not true. “The act recently passed creating ' the new Judgeship is almost identi cal with the act providing for the third judge of the Superior Court d»’ the Atlanta Circuit, and neither in terms nor by implication does it re peal the act of 1885 creating the Stone Mountain Circuit. The result will be that the judge of the Stone Mountain Circuit will continue to preside in ‘he criminal division of the Superior Court of Fulton County (or such other division as he may be assigned to), even after the appointment of the fourth judge of the Atlanta Cir cuit. No Reflection on Roan. “It should be steadily borne in mind that this movement is in no sense whatever an attack upon the present able and conscientious judge of the Stone Mountain Circuit, Hon. L. S. Roan. We all entertain for him sentiments of high regard and es teem. and the fact that we are irre vocably committed to the principle of home rule for judges—an Atlanta man for an Atlanta judge—does not in any way militate against the esteem in which we hold Judge Roan.’’ The committee in charge of the matter is as follows: H. N. Ran dolph, chairman: Albert Howell, Jr.. Clifford L. Anderson, Shepard Bryan. Eugene Dodd, Victor Lamar Smith. George Westmoreland. E. V. Carter, Samuel D. Hewlett, Samuel Nesbit Evins, William A. Wimbish, Robert P. Jones, .lessee M. Wood, Paul E. Johnson, W. Carroll Latimer. Lee M. Jordan, W. J. Tilson, Philip H. Als ton. Harrison Jones, Hudson Moore, John A. Hynds, Van Astor Batchelor, Thomas H. Goodwin, W. H. Terrell, Winfield Jones and H. M. Patty. Following a spirited clash in Police Court between Recorder Pro Tern Preston and Attorney W. M. Smirti over the question of a postponement of the case of Mrs. B. E. Carroll, of No. 15 Houston street, charged with conducting a boarding house without a license, Mrs. Carroll again will be arraigned before Judge Preston Sat urday afternoon. Smith declared he would move to disqualify the Recorder Pro Tern on the ground that he has assumed the role of prosecuting attorney in the case of Mrs. Carroll. Judge Preston accused the attorney of bluffing, and declared that he “didn’t intend to al low bluffs to interfere with Justice.” Sergeant Barefleld explained that City Attorney Mayson could not be present until Saturday afternoon. At torney Smith insisted on an imme diate heating, but was overruled. Fifty Realty Men Gather at Dinner Chas. P. Glover Gets Gold Watch Charm—Ponce DeLeon Residence Sale—Other Notes. Alabama Weevil Nears State Line “We will have to quarantine three counties in Georgia for boll weevil againsit the rest of the State before the end of the present season, we are afraid,” said E. L. Worsham, State Entomologist, at the Capitol Saturday. . According to Dr. Worsham the boll weevil, which has been making such great ravages on the cotton crop in Alabama is within 30 miles of the Georgia line and the department ex pects the boll weevil to invade three counties in Georgia before the first frost. The Legislature, which ha* just adjourned, placed in the hands of the State Entomologist the question of quarantining. The Entomologist lifted the quarantine against cotton lint and cotton seed hulls, which it has been proven do not transmit the boll weevil, but he will enforce a strict quarantine against seed cot ton and cotton seed from all infected points. j Members of the Cotton Seed Crush- eiAssociation of Georgia are co- j operating in every way possible to ail the Department of Entomology ; and the farmers to keep the boll wee vil out of the State. ^he cotton oil mills of Georgia are beginning their fall rush and the out- i look is good for a splendid season. The success of the first monthly luncheon of the Atlanta Real Estate Board under President Harris G. White has led to the suggestion that the real estate men should gather every two weeks. Fifty land brokers attended the function at the Hotel Ansley Friday, and enthusiasm ran high. The luncheon was held in the convention hall, on the eleventh floor of the hotel, because additional ac commodations were needed for the crowd. Charles P. Glover, former president of the board, was presented with a handsome gold watch charm, with the inscription “Our President, 1913, At lanta Real Estate Board.'’ The pres entation speech was made by M. F. Ramsey, and Mr. Glover responded. R. L. Turman was elected a mem ber of the appraisal committee of the board to succeed Walker Dunson, who resigned at the July meeting. S. B. Turman presided, and introduc ed Mr. Glover and Harris G. White, who told briefly of their trip to the convention at Winnipeg. Both de clared that they expected to win the 1916 convention for Atlanta. Mr. Glover is now vice president of the national association, and his fellow- real estate men are expected to vote the convention to Atlanta. 599 Ponce DeLeon, $10,550. H. J.

The fall in tem perature is from 10 to 20 degrees.

Tennessee and Louisiana ome small deterioration is noted, though it Is doubtful if the losses are any greater, if, indeed, as great as those usually occurring at this period when the plant approaches maturity Shedding is reported, due in most instances to lack of moisture and In Louisiana considerably increased boll weevil damage. In Texas and Okla homa and over about one-half of Arkan sas heavy losses occurred, and the plant is fast running into a state of decline that can not be recovered ever with fa vorable weather and abundant rainfall. Permanent and irreparable loss has, however, just begun, except in un favored localities, and if rain comes during next week. In general and heavy fall, great good will be done Greatest loss has occurred in Oklahoma, but over a large area in these three States the f rtant shows arrested development and s rapidly losing vitality, and thus can not properly mature the fruit that has been set. NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 16.—Efforts to ward a short scare were evidently made In Liverpool, also w'Here futures ad vanced 5 points more than due, while spots are quoted 10 Points higher; sales, 3,000 bales. Anticipation of a bullish Timea-Dem- ocrat report Monday on the western States with the usual weevil apprehen sion for the central States, was instru mental to the advance in Liverpool and here. Private reports show precipitation over a large area of Oklahoma over night. The map shows none in Texas, but indications are in favor of precipi tation becoming more general over the western States over Sunday, followed by cooler weather. Precipitation is also indicated for Arkansas and showery weather for the rest of the belt First trades here were at unchanged figures, but the market soon gained 6 points on the Government forecast of fair weather in the West over Sunday. SePing pressure was also held In sus pense by anticipation of a bullish Times-Democrat report, and less favor able crop reports next week from promi nent crop inspectors who left yesterday for the West to Investigate. Market prospects for next week de pend on weather developments In the West. Y\ T ithout rains of consequence de mand is expected to broaden, with a consequentbullish effect.
