The following letter was sent by
Hon, J. Randolph Anderson to the
Southern Cotton Aeocfatlon Investigat
ing committee during Its deliberations
Thursday morning:
ATLANTA, Ga, August 1. lftOft.
Messrs. M. L. Johnson, W. H. Sey
mour, John A. Allison. J. D. Smith,
W. ij. Peek, Investigating Committee
Southern Cotton Association:
Dear Sira;—Your committee having
requested me to assist you with such
suggestions as I could to aid you In
probing- to the- bottom the - matters
charged against Mr. Richard Cheatham,
secretary, and Mr. Arthur A. Fairchild,
manager publishing bureau of the
Southern Cotton Association. I think It
proper to submit the following i
gestlons In addition to those, slri
made you at the public hearing you
had today.
Mr. Arthur A. Fairchild having In
his statement to, you Admitted the
charges made against, him and having
tendered his resignation, hts case Is
disposed of. _
In regard tn Mr. Cheatham tba ques
tion the public will ask Is whether
your committee Is going to rest on
what was told you at the hearing to
day or are you going to hold a genuine
bualneaa-llke Investigation and Insist
on getting at the bottom of the busi
ness. Is this committee going to con
tinue to refuse to demand that - Mr.
Cheatham produce to you the docu
mentary evidence In his own posses
sion and that he give you access to the
evidence In the itoesesslon of the banka
and other parties In relation to this
matter, all of which you can gat on a
simple written request from Mr. Cheat
ham that It be given you? If so will
not the public Inquire of what use Is
an Investigation which refuses to Insist
on full disclosures from Mr. Cheatham
of alt the facta both In hit possession
or under his control, but simply con
tents Itself with such evidence as It
can gat 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
vestigation should guard Itself against
as I pointed nut In my letter of July
27 to President Harvle Jordan, and ha
agreed with me In the stetement he
made to your committee this morning.
Mr. Cheatham takes the position that
these are his personal affairs and he
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 Inalst on a dlscloa-,
ure of Ills personal affairs even though
relating only to the charges against
him.
Permit me to suggest that what your
committee le called to Investigate la
the personal conduct of your official
In regard to the matters charged
against him.
Are You Going to Gst FaetaT
Now, In the charge* and specifica
tions made against Mr. Cheatham this
morning he elands specifically charg
ed with having speculated or (which
la the same thing) having carried on
speculations In cotton In the name of
Mike O'Grady and P. A. Lee, and In
ithe O'Orady traneactlona with having
paid M,000 In margins with checks on
the Foutrh National Bank of Atlanta,
signed "Richard Cheatham, Secretary."
It la charged and tesyfled to by Mr.
Fagan that the Mike O’Orady account
waa closed up on March II, lftOft, by
the payment to Mr. Cheatham of two
New York checks neither of which was
payable to Mr. O'Grady. One of these
for $2,730.98 wae payable to Richard
Cheatham Individually and waa imld
fur or deposited In hie Individual ac
count In a bank In Memphis: and the
other for $989.02 waa payable to S.
II. Bedford and was firet depoalted In
hank In Greenville, Mlee. All these
facie are admitted by Mr. Cheatham,
but he claims that Mike O'Grady and
P. A. Leo were real persons for whom
he wae acting. Whether they were
real iiereons or Imaginary peraone Is
wholly Immaterial. Mr. Cheatham
conducted the speculations by hie own
admission. Your committee, however.
Is desirous of getting at the bottom of
the matter. The question le: are you
going to Insist that Mr. Cheatham give
you access to all the facte which are
known to be In hla posseeeton or un
der Ilia control? I submit the follow'
Ing suggestions:
Is P. A. I.ee a real peraon? The ad
milled and undisputed testimony li
that tho check lor $115 In settlement
of this account was handed to Mr.
Cheatham and that It was paid to or
cashed by the Piedmont Hotel upen
the Indorsement of Richard Cheatham
Individually, the prior Indorsement be
ing P, A. Lee. Mr. Cheatham refuses
to disclose tho Identity of P. A. Lee.
The Identity of this person la not nec
essary, but 4 submit your committee
should Insist that Mr. Cheatham show
you tha letters, statement* and paid
chacks he sent to P. A. Lee In tha
course of this transaction.
Why Hasn’t O’Grady Got Hit Monty,
Mr. Mike O'Grady, of Chattanooga,
appeared before you and claimed that
the Mike O'Grady speculation* had In
February and March last, Involving
$.000 bales of cotton futures and
$4,000 of margin*, paid by checks sign
ed “Richard Cheatham, Secretary,"
were trades which Mr. Cheatham had
carried on for him. O'Grady atated 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'* hands,
end left It entirely to Cheatham'*
Judgment what trades to make and
when to make them. Also that many
of the broker's statement he submitted
to you this morning he had only re
reived from Cheatham after he cam#
here this week to attend thta Investi
gation. Also that although these par
ticular transaction* were closed out on
March $1 and Mr. Cheatham had then
received back from the broker* $$,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 tent him $2,000,
and that the balance waa atlU to be ad
justed by Cheatham. 1 suggest that
your commlttea should Insist that Mr.
Cheatham submit to you his letter
book showing copies of all his letters
and telegram* to O'Grady together
with all statement* of accounting be
tween himself and O'Orady and nit paid
check* he sent to O'Orady with the
letters remitting those check* and
showing what they were for.'
A Question of Voracity.
Mr. O’Orady also atated, you will rec
ollect, that these trades through the
brokerage house of Glbert A Clay were
the only speculation* Cheatham made
for him here, and the differences re
maining to be adjusted between himself
and Cheatham were not In regard to
speculative matters. Now. Mr. Holland
Curran, the clerk of Seldenburg ft
Co, testified that more re-ently Cheat
count through the firm of Beldenburg
St Co. to the extent of 900 bales of cot
ton and'ha<l paid for the margins with
checks signed "Richard Chc*atham, sec
retary," drawn on the Fourth National
bank. He testified that this account
was 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.
This account, he said, was closed out
within the last thirty days by a check
from Cheatham for about $45 to cover
the balance due by him. This check,
he said, was signed "Richard Cheat
ham, secretary," and was made pay
able to cash, but It shows that It wai.
Indorsed and deposited by Beldenburg
ft Co. I suggest that your committee
should Insist that Mr. Cheatham should
glvs 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 Seldenburg
ft Co,, aaklng and authorizing him to
give your committee all the facts about
this account. With this order pm
should be able to get further Informs
tlon about this account. Mr. ('heat
ham admits the trades, but claims
lhat this account was also for
friend, alike, O’Grady.
In regard to the account of Richard
Cheatham. nr, In the F.miGi Na
tional bank, Mr. Cheatham stated that
It was bis personal account, which, for
private reasons, 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 as "Richard
Cheatham." I suggest that your com-
mlttea should demand that Mr. Cheat
ham give you a written order and re
quest on the Fourth National bank to
furnish you with any Information you
may ask for In regard to the accounts
' apt by him at that bank. Thli g| -
'ill do upon such a request.
I have now given your committee all
the Information and assistance I can,
aa 1 promised to do. I .have told you
what the facta are that have come to
me, and I have pointed out where and
how you can verify alt of them. It Is
for you to do the rest and aay wheth
er you'Insist on getting at these facts
which are In Mr. Cheatham's posses
slon or control. A business man, in.
vestlgatlng-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 suggestions.
Not Association on Trial,
.Permit me one closing suggestion.
It Is not the Southern Cotton Assorts-
tlon which Is on trial, although the ac
cused officials naturally desire to have
It ao appear. The surest way for the
association to be Injured is to taka that
position. The certain way for the as
aoclatlon to render all criticism harm
less Is for It to take the stand that It
Itself Is Investigating Into tho personal
conduct of It* officials, whether they
be elective, administrative or merely
ministerial and minor dnea, and that It
Intend* to purgo Itself of any of them
whose C9jjduct It finds to be Improper
In any respect. Whan this Is done, the
association will cauaa rejoicing to Its
friends and confusion to Its enemies
because It will have ahnwn that It has
Ilfs and strength enough to keep Its
premises clean, and thus render attack*
and criticism harmless.
Your* truly,
J. RANDOLPH ANDERBON.

Macon, Ga., Aug. 2.—All members of
the Brotherhood o’f Railway Trainmen
In the employ of the Central of Geor
gia Railway at Macon, Columbus, Bir
mingham, Atlanta and Intermediate
points went on a general strike at 9
o'clock this morning by order of the
committee In charge of such affairs,
sanctioned by R. P. Lewis, fourth
grand chief of the order.
Tho order is composed of car In
spectors, carpenters, greasers, oilers
and other like occupations, and about
(wo 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 Inspector and the advance of 15
cents a day in the wuges of negro la-
borers. The carmen asked for ;i raise
of 21-2 cents a day for freight yard
carpenters, and 10 cents a day for mill
men, Inspectors, greasers and oilers.
Several Conferences He'd*
The matter has been In negotiation
for several months with the master
mechanics of the different shops about
the system and the chief master 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, nnd there Is no strike there.
The strikers allege that th«- S-ivann.ih
men are already getting better wages.
Tho strikers feel confident that other
railways unions will follow them if
there is any attempt to put in scab la
bor.
