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.

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.
