4 13 TTTT ATT ANT A GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 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. Prospective: Chief Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner. Candidates for the office of Sheriff are grooming themselves for what, promises to be the hottest Sheriff’s race in the history of Fulton County. With the date of the primary not more than seven or eight months away, and with the city primary of September 30 attracting practically no attention, the would-be Sheriffs are having things politically all their way. Of unusual Interest is the an nouncement of Sheriff Mangum that he is very much in the race, which is directly contrary to the persistent rumor that he would not run. His announcement was re-affirmed Fri day morning. Upon the decision of Sheriff Man gum rests Plennie Miner’s entry into the race. If Mangum sticks, to the finish Miner will not enter, feeling that his duty as a loyal friend to the present Sheriff, whom he de clares 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, Mayo and Wright, it is sure to be warm. Each man already has a strong following, while each is 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 he has been con nected sixteen years, holding the rank of captain six years. Prior to this, he wag 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 so well that he decided to make it his home, and has been here ever since. Plennie Miner has been with the Sheriff’s office for five years, and has won friends by the hundreds by his 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 fourteen years. He had a good polit ical career behind him. serving as Sheriff of Newtom County six years. He knows the political game like an astrologer knowsi the stars, and has acquired an acquaintanceship here of immense proportions. He has not perfected his ticket, but in his formal announcement has named Walter C. Lawrence as his chief deputy. Law rence is well known in Atlanta. He has been general manager of the Westview Floral Company, twenty years. Sheriff Mangum is now serving his third term. He carries a few more years than his opponents, but his nerves are steady and he can take his revolver and pluck a half-dollar at 30 paces. He is a Confederate vet eran, enlisting in March, 1862. and fighting throughout the last three years of the war. He was only six teen years of age when he enlisted. He was born in Fannin County. Sheriff Mangum, in making his an nouncement, declared that he knew There was some sentiment against him but that he had only done his duty. Mangum Defends His Record. “Some sentiment has been raised againMt me because I do not hand cuff my prisoners, but I do not be lieve there is a right-thinking man in Fulton . County who will enter tain a prejudice like this against me.” said the Sheriff. ”1 did not handcuff Leo M. Frank, neither did I hand cuff Jim Conley or Newt Lee. As a matter of fact, I have never hand cuffed but two men in all my time in the Sheriffs office. “There was some criticism because I accompanied Frank personally and because he was carried from the jail to the courthouse in an automobile. Mv reason for escorting him was that I felt it was my duty. There had been threats made against him and I 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 county anvthing, while as a matter of fact. I walked Frank three or four times. . . „ “The only time I ever handcuff men is when a long string of prison ers is ta*ken to the courthouse bn Monday mornings, when we have them on a long chain. This saves the county fully $60 for each trip, as it would be necessary to have at least thirty more men acting as guards, while we now use six for the handling , of these prisoners. Miner Loyal to His Chief. Plennie Miner has been urged by a long l^t of friends to get into the race but unless Sheriff Mangum drops out he will be found fighting for his present chief. “I would be an ingrate if I ran against Mr. Mangum,” said Mr. Miner. “If I have any ability as a Deputy Sheriff it has been acquired by the opportunity he has given me. for he gave me a job when I needed one. If he runs 1 will be out working for his re-election; if he doesn’t. I will be in the race. To be perfectly plain I would go out and shovel coal at a dollar and i half a day before I would run against Mr. Man gum. for he is one of the best friends I have.” ... Captain Mayo will probabl\ an- nounce his ticket of deputies some time in the next two or three weeks. He already has several lined up. but doesn't care to make them public yet. Indications are that the primary will be held in May, a decided senti ment iavoring an early date. COTTON COES Off Oil FEU OF ill! 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 centrak 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. S^ot interests also bought.

Cables report that the market feels the effect of hedge selling from the Eastern States. Weather developments overnight were favorable. The map shows fair in Okla homa and' west TexUS, and the rainfall in east Texas was lighter, except in the Palestine section. Good general rains fell in the Central States, while general ly fair weather continued in the eastern btit. Indications are for clearing weath er generally in the Western States and Arkansas. More rain in the south Cen tral States, followed by clearing Mon day. Rains moviTig on Alabama and the Atlantics over Sunday, where they are needed after a week of dry weather. It will become warmer in the Western States over Sunday. No storm danger for any part of the belt. Our market ignored the poor Liver pool and advanced on support based principally on the more hopeful news arid opinions from Washington. New York also reported buying on the Texas rains. Bullish feeling continues in possession of the market. The market here worked up to 13.08 for December, but fell back repeatedly. There seemed to be selling of solid character on the reports for larger in terests. probably on the Government forecast of fair and warmer weather over Sunday in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, which is likely to bring im proved crop news early next week, and increase the spot offerings and move ment. Liverpool is due 7 points higher Mon day. Market prospects for next week again depend principally on political news from Washington and weather develop ments. Fair ami warmer weather in the Western States and some rain in the eastern belt and Alabama is desired.

The ’market around the close yester day had a better lone 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 come 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. Cotton has been benefited. Picking is now under way in most localities, but was interfered with in Texas by the heavy rains.

Whether such belief is well founded remains to be seen, but the news they had yester day was to the effect that tRe 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. ShoulrT the conference take such action and sTiould the measure then become a law both producer and consumer will benefit through the elimination of manipulation from the future market The business of the cotton merchant w'ili prosper because the trade usefulness of his 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 hundr£71 pounds. “Western weather is, at 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.” • * * 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 will 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 approximate 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 Atlan tic States has been Improved by the rain wherever they were heavy enough to wet the ground. There are sections, however, where the precipitation has been qulTe 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 for the season. “Cotton is opening rapidly every where. and with lower temperatures and dry weather next week great progress will be made in picking.” Hester’s Weekly Cotton Statistics Secretary Hester's weekly New Or leans Cotton Exchange statement of the movement of cotton. Issued before the 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 over the same time year before last of 24.000 and an increase over the same time in 1910 of 132,000. The amount brought into sight for the week ending Friday afternoon is stated at 296,328, against 240,413 for the seven days ending this date last year, 271,962 year before last and 164.215 same time in 1910; this brings the total crop movement into sight for the twelve days of the new season to 454,851, against 375,600 last year, 411,966 year before last and 247,875 same time in 1910.

Including stocks left over at port and interior towns from the last crop and the number of bales brought into sight thus far for the new crop the supply to date is 781,268, against 740,313 for the same period last year. World’s Visible Supply. Secretary Hester’s statement of the world’s visible supply of cotton shows an increase for the week Just closed of 92.965 against an increase of 99,332 last year an<j an increase of 126,977 year be fore last. The total visible is 2.146,235, against 2,053.270 last week, 2,258,554 last year and 1.697,944 year before last. Of this the total of American cotton is 1,193,235, against 1,078,270 last W’eek, 1,446,554 last year and 1,011,944 year be(pre last, and of ah other kinds, including Egypt, Brazil. India, etc.. 953,000, against 957,000 last week, 812,000 last year and C86.000 year before last. The 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 ginners’ report of the new season, which showed that tip to September 1, 794,000 bales had been ginned, compared with 731.000 up to the same period in 1912, and 771,000 in 1911. The figures, while of record propor tions. were not a surprise and had lit tle or no influence on market fluctuat tions as the heavy ginning was attrib uted to the abnormal conditions due to premature opening of cotton, caused by the excessive heat and long drouth; and may be construed as a bullish argument gather than bearish, a* reports from one section of Texas say that the crop will he 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 the next October Government condition re port w’ili naturally describe deteriora tion. private advices say that the cot ton plant has gone backward very much in tne past two weeks or since the Government reoort made up to August 25. Pearsall’s new agency calls attention to the fact 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 tiie two months. The largo crops of Texas have been made on very heavy rainfall, notably the <Top 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 very poor. Estimates for the yield from Texas vary from 3,600.000 to 4,200,- 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 lend 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 1,200,000 to 1,600.000 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 seem to think this will be reduced. Georgia produced 1,920.000 bales last year; some claim this State will make 2,500,000 bales 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 thii? year; that is maximum North Carolina made 974,000 hales last year. These figures will probably stand for this year. So the Increase claimed in prospect for Georgia and the Carolinas may be as much as 800.000 bales; therefore, those who think the crop of 1913-1914. which we are just beginning to gather, will fall short of last year’s yield, when the total crop was 14,167/8)0 bales, have quite a decided margin in their favor, ranging anywhere from 400,000 to 700,000 bales. Other parts of the belt 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 more 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 last year, while the con sumption in Europe, of American cotton will no doubt increase. The political situation in Washing ton is still a matter of grave concern. The passage of the tariff hill with the Clarke 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 he very dif ficult td 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. L. Carpenter & Co. ii.p.upoira BIG PROFIT SALES .nulled, 25 © THE WEATHER.

The prospects are for a large and satisfactory fall and. winter business. “Fancy apples are in limited supply. Values are too high, as yet, to maintain a general and liberal consumption. “No oranges are in the market except some scatiering remnants of California stock, which will be ample to meet the limited requirements until the Florida stock begins to move. "Some few’ Florida grapefruit are com ing to the market, but as yet are too green to appeal to the handler or con sumer. "Fresh vegetables are being fumlfched almost exclusively by local market gar deners at present. “A strong demand prevails for ban anas. resulting In advanced prices at all points of importation. A limited de mand prevails for lemons, with the mar ket showing a downward tendency. The local peach crop has been exhausted and stock of good quality from Eastern and Western points meets ready sale at fan cy prices “The grape crops in Michigan, Ohio and New York State are reported, far short of the average yield, which will result in an active market at high prices. The continued drouth in California has affected the yield from that section, and all varieties of California grapes that are now being marketed are meeting ready sale at values in excess of aver ages maintained in past seasons. “Irish potatoes are scarce and active, while sweet potatoes and onions are abundant at low prices. There is a fair demand only for celery No cranberries in the market us yet this season. Can taloupes from Colorado meet ready sale at fancy prices. “The watermelon season is over, and the values the post season have been highly satisfactory from the producer right down the line “Fresh eggs are scarce and active. Live poultrv Is also scarce and selling at better prices. An average range of values applies to dressed hens and fries. Ducks and turkeys are short of require ments. and value's are high No change of consequence applies to butter, either table or cooking stock.” NEW Y'ORK, Sept IS.—Petroleum firm; crude Pennsylvania 2.60.
