SENATE COMMIT!E HEARS DEBATE ON BOYKIN BILL Public Discussion of the Measure Took Four Hours Time Thursday Afternoon. Up Four hours Thursday afternoon, from a to 7 o'clock, the senate Commit tee on agriculture lletened to argu ments for and against the Boykin sntl-bucket shop bill. And no vole was reached after the long discussion. Ths senate chamber was well well filled when the meeting began at a o'clock, and many of ths spectators remained throughout. Chairman Hogan, Senators Miller, Ware, Williams, Hand, Wheatley, Furr, Reid, Parker, Walker, Fltsger aid, Crum, Peyton and Rose, of the committee were present. Mr. Roykln was present throughout, and though he did not speak, frequently Interro gated the witnesses. 8am Jonas Opened Debate. Sam D. Jones, president of the cham ber of commerce, opened with the statement that the directors of the chamber met on July 3, heard both sides and passed resolutions endors ing the movement to do away with bucketshops. "I hope ths legislature of Georgia will take such high stand In this mat ter that there will be ho question as to Its meaning and purpose. "Every transaction of this character begins or ends In a gamble. In many Instance It begins with a gamble and ends with one. ‘I do not think the legislature can afford to If cense any business that fs a gamble. Whether It Is a big bucket little bucket the result Is ths same. Anything that Is morally wrong cannot be politically right. "If business Interests are cut up by tbla law business will find other chan nels to right Itself. "I buy pig Iron, but there Is no ex- ange or bucket shop where I do or a deal. One year I sold stoves when Iron was at 37, and It went to 316. but I was protected by a clause In my contract. "I do not believe the life of cotton manufacturing depends upon this business. It can adjust Itself easily. Gentlemen, get out of this valley yuu are now In. 'We are dodging between n bucket- shop and a warehouse, a right and wrong. Go high enough and you will see tne right and do It.” Orr Favors Bpykln Bill. J. K. Orr, president of the Atlanta Credit Men's Association, spoke next. Today almost universally ths credit man Is the ultra-conservative man In his business. When I see them es pouae any causa I am satisfied that It bears a doss relation to the general good. 'The credit man Is the barometer of business. When they have been Im pressed with the necessity for legisla tion on this subject I am almost willing to endorse It without Investigation. "In recent years they have been hampered by reporta of holding cot ton. It develops In a large percentage of rases that those so reporting are holding for speculative purposes...

Hurts All Business., "The credit men are Interested be cause this business directly affects the entire business world. If- the cotton mill men were, going to be seriously hurt by this bill you would see this hall crowded with them." He said ho had heard from many cotton men and practically ull favored the Boykin bill. , . "It Is better to go a little too far and right a great evil than do nothing. If Georgia passes this bill It will taka a great stride forward.' 1 Mr. Akers Testifies. J. S. Akers, of Inman. Akers A In man, spoke next. ■ "I am here simply as a witness, am neither for or against It. I am as much opposed to speculation as any member on Ibis committee. It our business. 1 must say In Justice, however, that colon exchanges do serve certain legitimate transactions. We have our agents selling cotton now for futuro delivery. If they sell at certain price* for delivery It Is wired into us. "1 at once wire to cover on this sale, 1 buy a contract to cover this sale, nnd If l lose on one I make on the other. W* do actually buy for the contract, nnd then sell out at such and such a figure." . , He explained In detail the method of dealing In cotton by actual contracta Would Not Hurt Him. Asked In what way the bill would affect his business he said he did not know that It would at all. He said It would be more convenient for hint to have the exchanges here to deal through. "Through the houses an order can je executed In about 3 minutes. By Private wire It would require 15. Hedging Is necessary to my business." He said hs ^Inclined to the belief that exchanges made for a better price In cotton, and tended to enhance values. "Doesn't the country lose more on those speculations than It makes?" asked Senator Retd. "I am a fro hi It does, though I have > direct Information on It." Mr. Akers was subjected to a run ning lire of questions from Seat) Wright, Mr. Anderson and members of the rommltee. Mr. Boykin asked him If the Ander son substitute would stop lllegltlmatt speculation In cotton. "No, i do not think so/* was ths re ply. Hsrvis Jordan Speaks. Harvle Jordan, president of ths Southern Cotton Association, began by stating that the association had been urging legislation to prevent cot ton speculation. "Mr. Boykin's bill prevents specula tion In any commodity; Mr. Anderson's simply seeks to stop bucket shops. "There Is a moral question Involved. When the state reaches the condition to consider from a cold-blooded busi ness way, it Is time to amend the con stitution. "In debating the question on the floor Mr. Anderson made certala charges against the Southern Cotton Associa tion. He admits that It was done to defeat the Boykin bill. That should be argument enough to pais It. "f never saw a man work as hard to worm out of another something to bolster up a bad cause as Mr. Ander son did In questioning Mr. Akers. "Ths business of dealing In cotton futures Is growing enormously In this country, particularly among farmers. They are being Induced to sell their spots and buy futures and put up the margins. Nine-tenths of the people who deal with these places lose. “I ask you In my official capacity to pass this bill and lee Georgia go before the country leading In this great moral question. If you do It, I give you my word that within two rears nearly every Southern state will lave followed. 'The contention we make Is that breaking up these concerns will not seriously Interfere with business In Oeorgla." Savannah Man’s Testimony. Murray Stewart, an exporter from Savannah, said that If the source of Information furnished by the wire house was taken away, It would seri ously Interfere with cotton dealers. "You don't mean to say that these wire houses are here simply to furnish Information 7" asked 8eph Wright. "No, they are here for business." "There would be no profit to the houscB without speculation?" "Not altogether. They do a certain legitimate business." He said ho did not agree altogether with Mr, Akers that these houses de pended absolutely on speculation.

IIo said he thought the farmer would get less for his cotton by doing away with futures. i “Seems s Good Business." R. A. Crawford, another cotton ex porter from Savannah, gave testimony along the line of Mr. Stewart. - He waa asked If he was Interested In any wire house. "Not now. 1 hops to be," was the reply. "Pretty good business, ain't It?" asked Senator Wheatley. "Seems to be up In north Georgia." Your refer lo Cheatham, Fairchild Lo?" asked Senator Wheatley. Mr. Crawford laughed, but did not reply. If the bill panned, he asserted, .. would ruin the exporting of cotton In Georgia, and that the houses In this stale would carry the business Charleston. "Tell me how It la tlmt the cotton change shows soo.ooo,non hales bought nnd sold on an actual crop of 10.000,000 bales?" asked Senb Wright. "Evidently they overloaded,” was the reply. Mr. Andtrson’s Argument. Mr. Anderson began hla argument for the substitute by reading n letter from H. < . Arnold, a large planter and cot- ‘°n dealer, of Newnan. In which he aald that the closing of legitimate ex- rhnngea would seriously hurt hit busi ness. A telegram from Henry Hull, a prominent Havannah merchant, pro testing against passage of the Boykin bill, was also rend. Mr. Anderaon said that so far as he could ascertain there were only four legitimate exchanges In Atlanta, and they are Ware A Leland, Hubbard Bros., Edmond & Charles Randolph and Olbert ^ Clay. "The Boykin bill Is too radical. Le* gltlmate lines of business should not be Interfered with. Senator Wheatley's substitute rend here goes further than either of the other two, and draws a very clear distinction between legltl- mate exchanges nnd bucket shops. "This hill will put the farmer and the turpentine dealer back fifteen years and place both at a fearful disadvan tage/' His argument was strong and re ceived the closest attention. "Substitute No Good." Seaborn Wright closed the argument by advocating the Boykin bill. He said he came over to do so at the request By Private Leased Wire. 4 Cincinnati.* Ohio, Aug. 1.—An old Ohio statute prohibiting marriage between white and colored persons, and declaring such unions Illegal, If solemnised,- ss well ss fixing penalties for the clerk Issuing the li cense, and the minister performing the cerniony, will he utilised to combat tbs claims of Althea Foley, a pegro woman, who alleges that she is tne widow of Lsfca- dlo Hesrne, the author, who died In Japan two rears ago. • Judge Mslsbury, of the probate court, has under ndrlsement the Foley wouinn’s petition to restore the records of her al leged run fringe to Hesrne. that she states destroyed In the court house firo In M$4.

Cobb, of Barneavllle, Ga., at the Negro Young People's Christian Congress, aroused a great deal of applause, but evidently set himself at odds with the leaders of his race by declaring him self a friend of the white man, and, turning to those who dally occupy the platform, said: “Don't you like this? Whether you do or not, It Is true.** That part of hi* speech to which he referred was: "You negroes In the North let the Southern negro alone. He can take care vt himself. He Is a friend of the white man, and the white man Is a friend of his. You discuss racial problems, never forgetting to bring the white man In. Let him alone. Stop antagonising him and mind my words, he’ll be your friend. Why, down South I have actually for gotten that I was a black man until I looked Into the looking glass. You Just let us Southern negroes alone, we will take care of ourseles.” s Rev. H. H. Proctor, of Atlanta, Ga., discussing his subject, "What Can Be Done to Eradicate Prejudice and Bring About Better Feeling?" said the prob lem hinged on money. "First, make prejudice unprofitable," he declared. "The courts deny us our rights; pub lic doors arc closed to us; Jim crow cars arc built for us; all simply be cause It pays."
