i TfTF, ATT A NT A CF.ORG I AN AND NEWS. 13 i COTTON GOSSIP Three-Cornered Fight Between Him, Mayo and Wright Holds County’s Interest. Formally announced candidates for Sheriff: Sheriff C. Wheeler Mangum, to suc ceed himself. Captain William M. Mayo, of the Atlanta Police Department. Chief Deputy City Marshall, L. O. Wright, who served six years as Sheriff of Newton County. Prospecti ve: Chief Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner. Candidates fur the office of Sheriff ire grooming- themselves for what promises to be the hottest Sheriff*? nice in the history of Fulton County. ^ 1th the date of the primary not more than seven or eight months away, and with the city primary of September 30 attracting practically Tio attention, the would-be Sheriffs are having things politically all their way. Of unusual interest is the an nouncement of Sheriff Mangum that ie is very much in the race, which •» directly contrary to the persistent rumor that he would not run. His announcement way re-affirmed Fri day morning. Upm the decision of Sheriff Man- •juni rest? Plennie Miner’s entry into he race. If Mangum sticks, to the finish Miner will not enter, feeling that his duty as a loyal friend to 'lie present Sheriff, whom he de- lares has done much for him, would prevent his running against him. Only Strong Men In Race. Whether the race will be between Mangum, Mayo and Wright, or Miner, Mavo and Wright, it is sure to be warm. Each man already has a strong following, while each la per fecting a ticket of unusual strength. In addition to this, it is quite prob able that no one in the county has a larger personal acquaintance than any of thees four men. Captain Mayo has an enviable rec ord with the Atlanta Police Depart ment. with which be has been con nected sixteen years, holding the rank of captain six years. Prior to this, he was special sergeant three years. He was born in Jasper County, near Brighton, but was reared in Butts County. He came to Atlanta in 1895 to visit the Cotton States Exposition and liked the town to well that he decided to make it his home, and has been here ever since. Plennie Miner has been with ♦he Sheriff’s office for five years, and has won friends by the hundreds by bis genial personality and the ability dis played by him in handling the duties of chief deputy. His handling of the huge crowds attending the Frank trial drew many complimentary remarks. He hails from Gwinnett County, where life as a farmer boy made him grow tall and gave him muscles to match. Wright Has Long History. Chief Deputy City Marshall L. O. Wright has been a resident of Atlanta .'ourteen years. He had a good polit ical career behind him, serving as Sheriff of Newton County six years, i u- knows the political game like an ■strologer know? the stars, and has •cquired an acquaintanceship here of cmense proportion*. He has not .■r' ted his ticket, out in his formal • < moment has named Walter C. recce as his chief deputy. Law- r is well known in Atlanta. He « been general manager of the ' -view Floral Company, twenty .Sheriff Mangum is now serving his ird term. He carries a few more eafs than his opponents, but his nerves are steady and lie can take his revolver and pluck a half-dollar at ;•» paces. He is a Confederate ret ro n. enlisting in March, 1862. and fighting throughout the last three \ears <>f the war. He was only c nx- tcen years of age when he enlisted. He was horn in Fannin County. Sheriff Mangum, in making ids an- nouncem* n% declared that he knew there was some sentiment against him but that he had only done hi* duty Mangum Defends His Record. ‘•Some sentiment has been raised *ga1mt me because I do not hand- tiff my prisoners, but I do not be lieve There is u right-thinking man in Fulton County who will enter tain a prejudice like this against me.” vaid the Sheriff. "T did not handcuff Leo M. Frank, neither did I huml- , uff Jim Conley or Newt Lee. As a matter of fact, I have never hand cuffed but two men in all my time in the Sheriff’s office. “There was some criticism because l accompanied Frank personally and because he was carried from the jail ro the rourthou5-*e in an automobile. My reason for escorting him was tliai T felt it was my duty. There had been threats made against him and T felt that if any of the Sheriffs’ force was to be exposed to harm that I should take that risk upon myself. The automobile belonged to one of the deputies and did not cost the our.ty anything, while as a matter of fact. 1 walked Frank three or four time.w ■■Tiie only time I ever handcuff men is when a long string: of prison ers. is taken to the courthouse on Monday mornings, when we have them on a long chain. This saves the county fully $60 for each trip, as it wouid be necessary to have at !en-=t thlrtv more men acting as guards, while we now use six fur the handling of these prisoners. Miner Lo/al to His Chief. Plennie Miner has been urged by , long l ! st of friends to set into the ,-ioe but unless Sheriff Mangum drops out he will be found fighting i,,r his present chief. •I would be an ingrain if I ran ■igainst Mr. Mangum," said Mr. Miner. If I have any ability as a Deputy Sheriff it has been ac.julred by the opportunity he has given me. for he gave me a job when I needed one. If lie runs I will be out working for his re-election; if lie doesn’t. I Will be in the rate. To be perfectly plain I wouid go out and shovel ,-oal at a dolUr and i half a day before I would run against Mr. Man gum, for lie Is one of the best friends ' have.” captain Mayo will probably an nounce ills tirke' of deputies some ■ ime in the next two or three weeks, ■fe already has several lined up, but doesn't cafe to make them public yet. Indications are that the primary will be held in May, a decided teiHi- sient favoring m early date Oil FEAR OF RAINS Good Class of Commission House Buying and Short Covering Cause 10 to 14-Point Rise. NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—Trading was fairly active at the opening of the cot ton market to-day and first prices were 1 to 8 points higher than the previous close. There was not much in the cables to attract attention, but the presence of a strong low barometer off the coast sug gested further heavy rains In the south west and central belt over Sunday. It was this feature which explained much of the early trading. There was a much more buoyant feeling in local specula tive circles. After the call prices rose 12 to 20 points from the opening range. On the rise October was carried to 13.16, De cember to 13.10 and January to 12.99. Other positions crossed the 13c level. The advance was based on a good class of commission house buying and short covering. Spot interests also bought. At the close the market was barely steady, with prices at a net advance of 10 to 14 points from the closing quota tions of Friday. Estimated cotton receipts: Monday. 1912.

The market around the close yester day had a better tone than for some time and the bull element is advising its friends to come Into the market at the present level. The argument is that the world’s need will be more than the crop at the rate of consumption of the past season. There is a feeling, how ever, among some very conservative people that if this is a bull market we need not expect it to run away just now in the face of the pressure of spot cotton, which must naturally coin© in the next week. • • * Our telegraphic advices from the South denote that the weather has been more favorable during the week, rain having been quite general with the pre cipitation heavy at some points.

Whether such belief is well founded remains to be seen, but the news they had yester day was to the effect that tHe confer ence is expected to amend the Clarke tax to make it apply to all future con tracts not in conformity with Hon. Her bert Knox Smith’s recommendations. Should" the conference take such action and should the measure then become a 'aw both producer and consumer will benefit through the elimination of manipulation from the future market The business of the cotton merchant will prosper because the trade usefulness of nis hedge will be greatly improved. The future broker will gain rather than lose, "because the standing of the market will be raised. Early in the session the talent acted on unfavorable advices from Washington, on big crop talk, on bearish trade reports from Eu rope, and on reports from Galveston that ocean freight room was going beg ging. afid that cotton room for Bremen could be had at the low price of 30c a hundred pounds. “Western weather is, ut the moment, exerting a mixed influence. Heavy rains have fallen all over Texas and Oklahoma. In some cases these rains justify the belief that renewed fruiting will increase the crop outturn, in others they inspire some fear as to the effect on the grade.” 0 0 0 J. B. Turner, of Memphis, has the following on the condition of cotton for the week, ending September 12: “The weather for the week was more, favorable to cotton than in either of the preceding weeks. Rains fell generally throughout the Western belt, and more or less irregularity in Eastern States Temperatures were lower. The rain was of benefit in all sections and a note of improvement is sounded by cor respondents In most States. “It is certain that late bolls wi'l grow to larger size and return a greater amount of lint as a result of moisture, and in this manner is the greater ben efit derived. Over the greater part of Texas and Oklahoma all the fields ex cept lowldnds had been dried out by the heat and drouth preceding the rains and these can't apnroximate the real rainfall, however profuse It may be. ex cept at too slow a pace to mature be fore average or even late frost dates. “The crop in Alabama and the Atlani tie States has been improved by the lain wherever they were heavy enough to wet the ground. There are sections, however, where the precipitation has been uuffe light. Returns are irregular, and while some cotton, is turning out quite well, some of it is young and has not matured a normal amount of fruit foi e season. “Cotton is openmg rapidly every where. and with lower temperatures and drv weather next week great progress will be made in picking.” Hester’s Weekly Cotton Statistics Secretary Heater’s weekly New Or leans Cotton Exchange statement of the movement of cotton, issued before tbe close of business Friday, shows an increase, in round numbers. in the movement into sight for the past seven days of 56,000 over the seven days end ing September 12 last year, an increase i over the sume time year before last of i 24,000 and an increase over the same I (imp in 1910 Ilf 132,000.

I’he total world's visible supply of Week Review of The Cotton Market NEW YORK, Sept. 13. — The principal feature in the cotton market during this week was the pub lication by the Government Census Bu reau of its first ginnors’ report of the | new season, which showed that up to September l, 794,000 bales had been | ginned, compared with 731,000 up to the same period in 19.12, and 771,000 in 1911. The figures, while of record propor tions. were not a surprise and had 111- | tie or no influence on market fluetua- j tbrns a s the heavy ginning was attrib uted to the abnormal conditions due to premature opening of cotton, caused by • the excessive heat and long drouth: anq may be construed as a bullish argument i gather than bearish as reports from one section of Texas say that the crop will be entirely finished picking and gin ning within the next three or four weeks Of course, at this time of the year deterioration in all vegetation is natural, but the extent of the deterioration is due largely to maturity and development of any growing plant, so that while (he next October Government condition re port - will naturally describe deteriora tion. private advices say that the cot ton plant has gone backward very much In the past two weeks or since the Government report made up to Angus. 25. Pearsall's new agency calls attention to the tact that the rainfall for Texas during the month of August showed an average of only .26 of an inch, or 1.15 inches below normal. The average rain fall for July and August (combined) in Texas, they say. is the lowest on record for the two months. The large crops of Texas have been made on very heavy rainfall, notably the crop of 1912, when the total Texas yield was 4.862.000 bales, while this year, as mentioned above, the rainfall in Texas for the past two months seems to have been very short and certainly prospects from that State are regarded as verv poor. Estimates for the yield from Texas vary from 3,500,000 to 4,2<*0.- 000 bales, and some most conservative parties insist that the crop will be un der 4.000.000 bales. In Oklahoma the same condition is said to prevail. The crop last year was 1,051,000 bales; estimates this year range from 500.000 to 700.000 bales. Arkansas last year produced 820.000 bales, estimates now are from 700,000 to 800.000 bales. Conservatively, those who are Willing to len<] themselves to figures at this time, claim that the crop is so ad vanced, on account of heat and drouth, that it is all made and is as easily esti mated now as it will be in other States the first of December, and place the shrinkage in Texas, Oklahoma and Ar kansas from 1,200,009 to 1,500,000 bales with a possible further shrinkage in Mississippi, on account of the ravages of boll weevil. This State made 1,402.- 000 bales last year. It is claimed this will be reduced. Alabama made 1.390.- 000 bales last year; many seein to think this will be reduced Georgia produced 1,920.000 bales last year; some claim this State will make 2,500,00ft hales this year. In South Carolina the crop last year was 1.281,000 bales: some claim that South Carolina will make 1,500,000 bales thin year; that is maximum North Carolina made 974,000 bales last year. These figures will probably stand for this year. So the increase claimed in prospect for Georgia and the Carolina* may be as much as 800.000 bales; therefore, those who think the crop of 1913-1914. which we are lust beginning to gather, will tail short of last year’s yield, when the total crop was 14,167,000 bales, have quite a decided margin in their favor, ranging anywhere from 400.000 to 700,000 bales. Other parts of the holt other than the western section, where drouth has done so much damage will be more or less affected by the date of frost; therefore, the next few- weeks will tend to jnore clearly fix the prospective yield; but conditions are such that a small crop, compared with the world's consumption, is in prospect and with 14,000,000 bales for America, prices will rule on a higher- basis The increase in spindles last year and those coming into operation shortly make a decided showing, so the con sumption in Europe will probably In crease over list year, while the con sumption in Europe <.f American cotton will no doubt increase. The political situation in Washing ton is still a matter of grave concern. The passage of the tariff bill will) the Glarke amendment attached will work irretrievable wrong and hardship on the producers of America's greatest com modity, and a commodity of which the largest proportion is exported. This is proving a disturbing element, and until it is out of the way it will be ven dif ficult to forecast the trend of prices, as the passage of the bill with the Clarke amendment, we firmly believe, will mean disorganization and depres sion in prices, and leaVe the markets for American cotton to Liverpool and Bremen. Strong protests to your Con gressmen may induce them to study your interests by repudiating ^ the amendment.—N. J,. Carpenter & Co u.p.upoNum Atlanta Markets BIG PROFIT SALES THE WEATHER.
