The following lotter was gent by
Hon. J. Randolph Anderson to the
Southern Cotton Asoclatlon investigat
ing coifimlttee during Its deliberations
Thursday morning:
ATLANTA, Oa., August 1, HOI.
Messrs. M. L. Johnaon, W. H. Sey
mour, John A. Altlaon, J. D. Smith,
W. L. Peek, Investigating Committee
Southern Cotton Aaaoetatlofi:
Door Kn:—Tour committee having
requested me to aaslat you with such
•uggeatlona aa I could to aid you In
probing to the- bottom the - matters
chnrged against Mr. Richard Cheatham,
secretary, and Mr. Arthur A. Fairchild,
manager publishing bureau of the
Southern Cotton Association, 1 think It
proper to submit the following eug-
gestlous In addition to those, already
made you at the public hearing you
had today.
Mr. Arthur A. Fairchild haying In
his statement to, you admitted the
charges made against him and having
tendered hi, resignation, his case. Is
disposed of.
In regard to Mr. Cheatham the ques
tion the public will ask Is whether
your committed Is- going to rest on
what wa, told you at the hearing to
day or are you going to hold a genuine
business-like Investigation and Insist
on getting at the bottom of the busi
ness. Is this commutes going to-con
tinue to refuse to demand that Mr.
Cheatham • produce to you the docu
mentary evidence In hlk own posses
sion and that he give you aceeaa to the
evidence In the possession of the banks
and other parties In relation to this
matter, all of which you can get on a
simple written request from Mr. Cheat
ham that It be given you? If so will
not the publle Inquire of what use Is
an Investigation which refuses to Insist
on full disclosures from Mr. Cheatham
of all the facts both In his possession
or under his control, but simply con
tents Itself with such evidence as It
can get from persons who voluntarily
offer to appear before a formal public
session of the committee. The risk of
this criticism Is what I thought the In-
vsstlgatlon should guard Itself against
as I pointed out In my letter of July
27 to President Harvle Jordan, and h#
agreed with .me In the statement he
made' to your committee this morning.
Mr. Cheatham takes the position that
these are his personal affairs and ha
seems to think he should only be
amenable for his official acts. Some
of your committee seemed also to think
you had no right to Insist on a disclos
ure of his personal affairs even though
relating only to the charges against
him. 1,
Permit me to suggest that what your
committee Is called to Investigate Is
the personal conduct of your official
In regard to the matters charged
against him.
Are You Going to Get Facts?
Now, In the chargee and specifica
tions made against Mr. Cheatham this
morning he stands specifically charg
ed with having speculated or (which
Is the same thing) having carried on
speculations In cotton In the name of
Mike O'Grady and P. A. Lee, and In
the O'Grady transactions with having
paid $4,000 In margins with checks on
the Foutrh National Bank of Atlanta,
signed "Richard Cheatham, Secretary."
It Is charged and teatMed to by Mr.
Fagan that tt(e Mike O'Grady account
wma closed up on March It, 1900, by
the payment to Mr. Cheatham of two
New York checks neither .of which was
payable to Mr. O'Grady. One of these
rnr $2,730.98 was payable to Richard
Cheuthnm Individually and waa paid
for or deposited In his Individual ac
count In o bank In Memphis: and the
other for $989.02 was payable to 8.
II. Bedford ttnd was first deposited In
liuttk In Greenville, Miss. All these
facts are admitted by Mr. Cheatham,
hut lie claims that Mike O'Grady and
P. A. Lee were real persona for whom
he was acting. Whether they were
real persons or Imaginary persons Is
wholly Immaterial. Mr. Cheatham
conducted the speculations by his own
admission. Your committee, however,
Is desirous of getting at the bottom of
the mutter. The question Is: are you
going to Insist that Mr. Cheatham give
you access to all the facts which are
known to be lit his possession or un
der Ills control? 1 submit the follow
ing suggestions: . „
Is P. A. Lee a real person? The ad
mltted and undisputed testimony Is
that the check for $115 In settlement
of this account was handed to Mr.
Cheatham and that It was paid to or
cashed by the Piedmont Hotel upon
the Indorsement of Richard Cheatham
Individually, the prior Indorsement be
ing P. A. Lee. Mr. Cheatham refuees
to disclose the Identity of P. A. Lee.
The Identity of this person Is not nec
essary, but I submit your committee
should Insist that Mr. Cheatham show
you the letters, statements and paid
checks he sent to P. A. Lee In the
course of this transaction.
Why Hasn’t O’Grady Got His Monty.
Mr. Mike O'Grady. of Chattanooga,
appeared before you and ctalmsd that
the Mike O'Orady speculations had In
February and March last, Involving
$.000 bales of cotton futures and
$4,000 of margins, paid by checks sign
ed "Richard Cheatham, Secretary,"
wefe tradea which Mr. Cheatham had
carried on for him. O'Grady slated he
had given Cheatham $2,000 In cash
last January to use to speculate In cot
ton for him, and later had given him
a further amount. Alio that he only
put the money In Cheatham'a hands,
and left It entirely to Cheatham'a
Judgment what tradea to make and
when to make them. Aleo that many
of the broker'! statement he submitted
to you this morning he had only re
ceived from Cheatham after he came
here this week to attend this Investi
gation. Also that although these par
ticular transactions were closed out on
March It and Mr. Cheatham had then
received hack from the brokers $$,720,
Mr. Cheatham had never yet rendered
him a full statement or accounting and
had not remitted him any money un
til recently, when he sent him $2,000,
and that the balance was still to bs ad
justed by Cheatham. I suggest that
your committee should Insist that Mr.
Cheatham submit to you his latter
book showing copies of all his letters
and telegrams to O'Grady together
with all statements of accounting be
tween himself and O'Grady and all paid
check* he sent to O'Orady with the
letters remitting those checks and
showing what they were for.
A Question of Veracity.
Mr. O'Grady also stated, you will rec
ollect, that these trade* thrqpgh 'th,e
brokerage house of Olbert A Clay were
the only speculation* Cheatham made
for him here, and the differences re-
malqlng to be adjusted between himself
and Cheatham were not In regard to
speculative matters. Now, Mr. Holland
Curran, the clerk of Ssldenburg A
Co, testified that more recently Cheat-
count through the firm of Seldenburg
A Co. to the extent of 900 bales of cot
ton and hod paid for the margins with
checks signed "Richard Cheatham, sec
retary," drawn on tho-Fmirth National
bank. He testified that this account
wa* first opened by Mr. Cheatham sim
ply under the assumed name of "Mike,"
and that later, when they told him
they must have a full name, he told
them to make It "Jones," of Chattanoo
ga, and that the account was accord
ingly carried on their books In the
name of "Mike Jones," of Chattanooga.
Thla account, he said, was closed out
within the last thirty days by a check
from Cheatham for about $46 to cover
the balance due by him. This check,
he said, waa signed "Richard Cheat
ham, secretary, and was made pay
able to cash, but It shows that It was
Indorsed and deposited by Seldenburg
* Co, I suggest that your committee
should Insist that Mr. Cheatham should
give you a detailed statement of these
trades, with their -dates, etc., and
should produce this check, and also
that he should give you a written or
der of request upon Mr. J. D. or J. B.
Cheatham, the manager for Heldenburg
A Co., asking and authorising him to
give your committee all tho facts about
this account. With this order you
should be able to get further Informa
tion shout this account. Mr. Cheat
ham admits the trades, but claims now
that thla account was also for his
friend, Mike O'Grady.
In regard to the account of Richard
Cheatham, secretary, In the Fourth Na
tional bank, Mr. Cheatham stntcd that
It was his personal account, which, for
private reaaona, he kept In that way,
and that he had no other Individual
account there. Information has come
to me that he did have two accounts
In that bank; one as ‘‘Richard Cheat
ham, secretary,” and one ns "Richard
Cheatham." I suggest that your com
mittee should demand that Mr. Cheat
ham give you a written order and re
quest on the Fourth National bank to
furnlah you with any Information you
may ask for In regard to the accounts
kept by him at that bank. Thla they
will do upon such a request.
assistance I can,
as I promised to do. 1 have told you
what Ihe facts are that have come to
me, and I have pointed out where and
how you can verify all of them. It Is
for you to do the rest and say wheth
er you Insist on getting at these facts
which are In Mr. Cheatham’* posses
sion or control. A business man, In
vestigating the conduct of his own
business, would not hesitate, and an
Investigating committee, such as yours,
ought not to. I expect to make this
an open letter, so as to place myself
on record as to these suggeattona.
Not Aeeociatlon on Trial,
Permit me one closing suggestion.
It la not ths Southern Cotton Associa
tion which Is on trial, although the ac
cused officials naturally desire t5 have
It so appear. The surest way for the
association to be Injured Is to taks that
lioaltlon. The certain way for the as
sociation to render all criticism harm
less la tor It to take the stan'd that It
Itself la Investigating Into the personal
conduct of Its officials, whether they
be elective, administrative or merely
ministerial and minor one*, and that It
Intends to purge Itself of any of them
whose conduct It finds to be Improper
In uny respect. When this It done, the
aeeociatlon will cause rejoicing to Its
friends anil confusion to Its. enemies
because It will have shown that It has
life and strfngth enough to keep Its
premise.* clean, and thus render attacks
and criticism harmless.
Yours truly,
J. RANDOLPH ANDER80N.

spectors, carpenters, greasers, oilers
and other like occupations, and about
two hundred and seventy men are af
fected, and many more may follow in
case the troubles are not adjusted soon.
Advance in Wages Wanted.
There are several reasons given for
the strike, the principal one being a
refusal to advance wages. The ap
pointment of an alleged incompetent
chief lnfj»#*rtor and tin* advance of 1 r,
cents a day In the wages of negro la
borers. The carmen asked for a raise
of 2 1-2 cents a day for freight yard
carpenters, and 10 cents a day for mill
men, Inspectors, greasers and oilers.
Several Conferences Held.
The matter has been In negotiation
for several months with the maater
mechanics of the different shops about
the system and the chief maater ma
chinist, Chester.
There have been a number of con
ferences In Macon without results,
hence the strike of today.
The Savannah shops are not In the
union, and there Is no strike there.
Tho strikers allege that the Savannah
men are already getting better wages.
Tho strikers f«*el confident that other
railwnvs unions will follow them If
there is any attempt to put in scab la
