Clifford Anderson Defends Commission Strongly. The county commissioner* urc indig nant at the presentment of the last grand Jury, which rritlclsed Ihe com mission severely. They say that the criticism umodnted to Insult and at their meeting Wednesday replied In no uncertain terms. The commissioners agreed with a ^ wi ^ ^ „„ statement mad* by « olonel Minoru u. foiinh, but would have prevented the public from getting the benefit of the double-track service had the county IiaI.I IlSlt of them are my best friends, but they were not tender- with us and I see no reason for being tender with them. "They either didn’t know conditions In the first place or were led to an In comprehension of them. “In speaking about the double-track- Ing of the East Point line, for Instance, they showed a reckless dlsregurd for the truth. They didn’t know what they were talking about. If they had made even a slight Investigation they would have found that the track to East Point lies entirely within the limits of the city of Atlanta and the towns of Oakland City, East Point and College Park, with the exception of about half a mile. The county, so they could have learned had they tried, refused to take any In itiative In granting a double-track privilege until all these towns had dene and It would not only have been Anderson, of Ihe commission, that the language • of the presentments of the last grand Jury us affecting the acts of the commission were not only. harsh In their criticism, hut amounted to In sult.

This statement appeal* over the alg- nature of Mr. Jordan In the November 1 Issue of his Journal. It Is embodied In an article headed "A Plea for Har mony," which, Incongruously enough, la a scathing attack on Charles S. Bar rett, president of the National Form- era’ Union, and R. F. Duckworth, pres ident of the Georgia division of the same organisation. > This announcement rrfay be taken to mean that Mr. Jordan's connection with the cotton association will be sev ered at the annual election In January. And this brings to the fore the ques tion of his successor. Tuesday's Geor gian printed an exclusive story of the action of prominent Troup county mer chants and farmers In Indorsing Thom as E. Watson for the head of the cotton association. The action of the meeting at Grange has attracted widespread Inter est throughout the etate. The Idea Is taking root everywhere, and It Is the consensus of opinlgn that Mr. Wat I” W An* pen to re-establish the as- soclntjnn In the conndenco of everyone. A prominent public man In comment ing on this, said: Tom Watson as PrstidsnL “It Tom Watson can be persuaded to accept the presidency of the South ern Cotton Association It would mean more to the organlxatlon than any oth er one thing. However we may differ with Mr. Watson In some of his po litical viewa, no man who knows aught of him questions his honesty, his squareness, his big brains and his loy alty at all times, to the farming classes. "With him at the head of tho organ isation It would regain prestige and power. Farmers, merchants, buslnsss men, bankers, ever}’ class, would have faith In Its purposes, alms and move ments. Whatever of discredit attaches to the association because of disclos ures In tba speculations of Its present officials would be removed. Tom Wat son would countenance nothing of that sort If he headed the organization. I hope he w ill consent to accept the pres idency.” This feeling is general among those who want the cotton association to continue a potent factor to the farm er in the South. Nothing has been heard from Mr. Watson relative to how he feels concerning this movement. The difficulty Would probably lie In per suading nlm to accept the place. RESULT DOUBTFUL FOR STATE TICKET! BOTH CLAIM STATE Democrats Claim Election of Patterson by Safe Majority. Memphis. Tsnn., Nov. '.^-Republi cans and Democrats are each claim ing to have elected their state ticket, but the result Is close enough to be doubtful, and returns from all over the state are slower than ever before In coming In. The Democratic slate ommlttee declares that M. R. Patter son, ut present congressman from the Tenth district, has been elected by 30,- 000 plurality over H. Clay Evans, the Republican nominee, end the Republi can committee, without naming any figures, asserts that Its candidate has been elected by a safe majority. Indi cations from all returns at this Iiour point to the election of Patterson, though by a very small plurality. General George W. Gordon, Demo cratic candidate for congress to suc ceed Patterson, has received almost the solid vote of this district, having no Republican opponent. The Social- lats slate ticket has hardly made a showing comparatively. The legisla tive ticket of Shelby county Is yet In doubt. The “machine" candidate ap pear to have carried the city with Edglngton and Talbert for senators In the leud, but It Is probable that this majority may be overcome when the country districts an all In.
