Maier & Berkele.
Representative J. Randolph Ander
son, of Chatham, has prepared, had
printed and distributed In the senate a
personal statement of hi* position on
the bucket shop MIL In opening this
statement he says:
“The Cotton Journal of August 2, fly
ing at Its mast head a* one of Its
manager* ths name of a detected and
condemned 'future* speculator, makes
vicious attacks on me, and both by
cartoon and by editorial! seeks to hold
me up to public contempt and obloquy
as being the chief spokesman and de
fender of the ‘gambler In future*.'
Every effort has been made to create
the impression that the motive and
object of my oppoeltton to the so-called
Boykin bill has been In order that some
form of gambling contracts may be
permitted. I regret that the chief
spokeoman for the bill In the house has
allowed his seal as a partisan to carry
him so far as to make statements in
which he lends himself to the effort be
ing made to asperse my motive*, ob
ject* and Integrity of purpose. He baa
submitted no proof for these state
ments and has never attempted to se
riously debate and answer my argu-
ments, but baa contented himself by
Iterating and reiterating that I am only
endeavoring to abolish the small gam
bler and that I seek to protect the big
gambler, and to permit some form of
gambling."
Mr. Anderson asserts his earnest do,
sire to prevent gambling of every
character, and says that his advocacy
of the substitute now In the senate Is
on the ground that It goes much fur
ther to prevent speculation than the
Boykin bill.
He goes very fully Into the matter
snd explain, clearly and at length
every phase of th* issue. He state*
that os conditions now exist that there
are only two concerns In Georgia that
may Justly be termed legitimate ex

William ' B. Leeds, the millionaire

undertook to do tho Importing;
The duty on pearls set as Jewelry la
60 per rent, but on unstrung pearls
the duty Is only 10 per cent. In the
belief that he could avoid paying the
larger amount. Citroen took the neck
lace apart and brought the pearls to
New York unstrung. Citroen paid a
duty of $22,000, or 10 per cent. Then
It became known that an effort had
been made to evade the law and the
valuable pearls were seised and held
