The county commissioners are Indig
nant at the presentment of the last
grand Jury, which criticised the com
mission severely. They say that the
rrltlclsm amounted to Insult and at
their meeting Wednesday replied In no
uncertain terms.
The commissioners agreed with a
statement made by Colonel Clifford L.
Anderson, of the commission, that the
language of the presentments of the
last grand Jury as affecting the acts of
the commission were not oniy harsh
In their criticism, but amounted to In
suit.
The commissioner* at their meeting
Wednesday morning even refused to
pay the stenographer the lit he asked
for putting the presentments In type.
Here Is In substance what Colonel
Anderson said at the meeting:
"Heretofore I have been willing to
accept the criticism of the various
grand Juries In good spirit, even though
I did not agree with what tliey said In
tftsfr presentments, but these last pre
sentments are of such a character Jkat
I cannot let them go without refining
some of the assertions which they
made, possibly In Ignorance.
Amounts to Insult.
In their report the last gram, jury
made statements which amounted not
only to criticism, but atlually to Insult.
I am the more astonished at their
Troup County Meeting May
Be Forerunner of
Movement.
Boni Declared to Have
Faked Up Some
Evidence.
"I shall doubtless retire from my
present position In the Southern Cot
ton Association next January."—Har.
viq Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Association, In The Cotton
Journal.
This statement appears over the slg
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,
Is a scathing attack on Charles S. Bar.
rett, president of the National Farm-
era’ Union, and R. F. Duckworth, pres.
Ident of the Georgia division of the
same organisation.
This announcement may be taken to
mean that Mr. Jordan's connection
with the cotton association will be
ered at the Annual election In January.
And this brings to the fore the ques
tlon 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 La-
Grange has attracted widespread Inter
est throughout the stale. The Idea Is
taking root everywhere, and It I* the
consensus of opinion that Mr. Watson
Is the on* man to re-establish the as
sociation In the confidence of everyone.
A prominent'public man In comment
ing on this, said:
Tom Watson as President.
"If Tom Watson esn be persuaded
to accept the presidency of the South
ern Cotton Association It would mean
more to the organisation than any oth
er one thing. However we may differ
with Mr. Watson In some of his po
litical views, no man who knows aught
of him questions his honesty, his
squareness, his big brains and hla loy
alty at all times to the farming classes.
With him at the head of the organ
isation It would regain prestige and
power. Farmers, merchants, business
men, bankers, every class, would have
faith In Its purposes] alms and move
ments. Whatever of discredit attaches
to the association because of dlsclos
ure* In the speculations of Its present
officials would be removed. Tom Wat
son would countenance nothing of that
sort It he headed the organisation,
hope he wlH 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 ha* been
heard front Mr. Watson relative to how
he feels concerning this movement. The
difficulty would probably lie In per
suading nlm to accept the place.

were talking about. It they had made
even a slight investigation they would
huve 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 nbout 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 done
so, and it would not only have been
follsh, but would have prevented the
public from getting the benefit of the
double-track service had the county
held out.
Brookwood Bridge.
"Now, It was the recommendations
about the Brookwood bridge that bor
dered on Insult. In venturing the In
formation that I £ the bridge had been
the property of a private corporation
,we would have forced repairs long ago,
the grand Jury Inferred that this board
was under the control of the Southern
railroad. That, of course. Is enough to
give us cause for anger.
"That.bridge Is In as good condition
as It has been for the past fifteen years.
Instead of being lenient with the rail
roads we have made It Incumbent on
them as a condition of a concession
dealing with the waterworks road,
though that had nothin* to do with
the Brookwood bridge on the Peach
tree road, to build a flrat-clas* con
crete bridge In place of the present
wooden structure. There has, I admit,
been a good deal of unnecessary delay,
hut the railroad Ima had a good excuse
most of the time. The last.one was

Paris, Nov. 7.—Revelations fully as
sensational as those brought out a week
ago at the opehlng session! of the Cas-
tellane divorce autt marked the re
sumption today of the hearing of the
case which .has developed one of the
greatest scandals In France In recent
years.
It was brought out by M. Cruppl.
representing the Countess Castsllane,
formerly Anna Gould, of New York,
that Count Boniface. In his defense, aa
outlined In the documents tiled by him.
makes astounding Insinuations against
his wife.
Forgery Chargsd to Count.
Some Intensely Interesting corre
spondence that passed between the
count and countess after their separa
tion, when Boniface was begging for
forgiveness, was also referred to.
one of her letters the countess referred
to Bont as “stinking."
Another sensational charge made
against Bont, In addition to the allega
tions made before that lie Is u wlfe-
beater, spendthrift and too gallant, wns
that one of the documents. presented
by him Is a forgery. The charge
ated a great sensation.
Astounding Inilnu'tions.
M. Cruppl announced that since the
last sitting of the court Bonl’s docu
mentary evidence In his defense ha*
been submitted to him. The papers
show that RonI In April wrote to
Countess Anna saying he, too, intended
to apply for a divorce.
Insinuations of a most astounding
nature were made ngalnst the little
American woman. In threatening to
Institute divorce proceedings, Bonl de
clared he was acting In the Interest of
their children In order to "regularise"
their position and havs them reared ac
cording to principles which the count
ess Ignored.
Bombarded With Letters.
M. Cruppl read some of the corre
spondence which passed between Bonl
and the countess. He said the count
had besieged his wife at the Hotel
Bristol and followed her to Blarrlt*
seeking n reconciliation. Falling to
gain access to her presence, he bom
barded her with letters In which lie
protested his love, expressed his re-
pentence nnd prayed fur dcuth If she
would not be reeonclled to lilm. He re
ferred In touching words to their last
kl»s In January. .
He continued to send letter# until’
Countess Anna imperatively command
ed him to stop. In one letter she wrote
literally:
"I think you are stinking.’’
Lawyer Denounces Boni.
M. Cruppl debited himself largely to
analysing Bonl’s defense as shown In
S Is papers. Thsse points are made by
onl: First, he denies In toto the al
legations . made against him and says
the statements of servants relating to 1
hts actions are false. He Invokes hla
right# os a father and also pleads the
necessity of his maintaining his posi
tion.
M. Cruppl declared that. tills third
point reveals Bonl’s whole motive put
ting his case on n financial basis only.
He denounced Bonl In scathing terms
for his apparent determination to Insist
upon a public trial of the case, which
will make public all details of his nu
merous alleged llasons and the nnmes
of the women Involved.
