Hester's Weekly-
Cotton Statistics
TO DAY’S MARKET
OPENINGS.
Secretary Hester’s weekly New Or*
hums cotton exchange statement of the
movement of cotton, issued before the
close of business Friday shows a de
crease in the movement Into sight com
pared with the seven days ending this
date last year in round numbers 61.000,
a decrease under the same days year
before last of 44,000. and a decrease in
the same time, in 1010 of 13,OO0\
For the five days of December, the
totals show an increase over last year
of 46,000, an Increase over the same
period year before last of 60,000, and
an increase over the same time in 1910
taint y that Auditor James L. And or- j
son will decide In favor of the de
fendant. In any event, the 48 heirs
will lay the case before the Fulton
Uounty. Grand Jury, where John V.
Smith will act as special solicitor.
Attorneys Burton Smith and lieu-
ben Arnold, who have been conduct
ing Mrs. Crawford's defense, say
they are sure of a verdict in favor
of their client. They charge that the
case has grown out of jealousy on the
part of other women.
“That a man’s body should be ex
humed after four years In the grave
and the attempt made to show that
he was poisoned is really a prepos
terous idea,” said Mr. Arnold. "There
has not been a single indication that
Mr. Crawford died from other than
natural causes."
Plaintiffs’ Lawyer Hopeful.
Colonel J. S. James, who repre
sents the heirs, is equally positive
that Mrs Crawford will be indicted
by the Grand Jury should the audi
tor’s decision be adverse to his
clients.
"Unde Josh” Crawford left an es
tate valued at more than $260,000.
He did not leave a will, beyond one
which had been made out- in favor ot
his first- wife. Mrs Nancy E. Craw
ford. His first wife and himself made
mutual wills, in which the husband
was to fall heir to the wife’s estate
in the event she died first, and vice
versa.
By his first wife’s death Joshua B.
Crawford came into the full estate,
end with his marriage with Mrs. Mary
Belle Savage the point was made that
the first will is void. Relatives of his
first wife are contesting this point.
The aged farmer married Mrs. Sav
age in less titan a year aftyr his first
wife’s death He lived but 27 days
after this marriage, and County Phy
sician J. W. Hurt, who attended him,
and Miss Emily Townsend, the
trained nurse who assisted, declared
that his death was due to pneumo
nia.

BRADLEY’S
GRAIN NOTES.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says:
"Local traders are bullish on wheat,
believing that it has more merit than
any other.
"The bulls in corn do not want a
decline at present, as they may increase
the movement, and they are not anxinus
to have a large run at present.
“The trade is buiyng oats, on the
theory that the comparative low price
should materially increase consumption
and induce farmers to feed oats and sell
their corn."
N. L. Carpenter & Co. says:
“The recent break in coffee is viewed
with a critical eye and is said not to
l»e justified by any foreign cables. We
think it would-be only conservative to
watch for the moment receipts at Rio
and Santos and the trend of consump
tion.
“The increased hog movement is said
to have caused lower prices in pig lard.
If this is continued it may have some
influence on the cotton seed oil product,
but we believe such falling off in values
will prove only temporary.”
