Small quantities during that century found their way to wealthy Londoners and Into the markets, and com manded a -price of approxi mately SSO a pound. America began trading in tea in 1784. The first Importation to this country came from Yo kohoma, Japan, to San Fran cisco in 1868. China has held first place since the beginning of the commerce as an ex porter and preduccr. It is probable that the choicest grades are unknown to Am erica, being consumed by their own country. During the year 1912 there were 6.294,600 acrea planted in tea.

Mr. Brooks is in Atlanta on a tour of the South in the inter ests of curbing “bucket shops” and was confronted with the action of Solictor-General John A. Boykin in recently ordering a raid on the Atlanta exchange and other brokerage houses on the grounds that they were il legally trading in cotton fu tures. p After reviewing the situation, he said that he would not at tempt to go into the merits of the fight by Mr. Boykin or the Georgia laws, but merely rest ed after saying that if the ex change is declared illegal the state will not be entitled to their quotations. He said the New York exchange will not tolerate anything illegal in the conduct of its business. TO CONFER WITH OFFICIALS AT N. O. He said he felt confident that the board of managers will adopt his suggestion and added that he is leaving Atlanta Friday for New Orleans, where he will confer \zsth the president of the New Orleans cotton exchange with a view to inducing it to take the same action against Georgia. Questioned with regard to the effect such action would have on cotton traffic ,in the state, Mr. Brooks said: “It will paralyze your cotton traf fic. You cannot operate without our quotations.” Mr. Brooks stated that such a ruling by the exchange would close all direct avenues for quotations coming Into the state. He declared the telegraph companies would not be,, permitted to furnish them to anyone in the state' nor would the press associations be allowed to carry them *nd thosa to tbs AUGUSTA GEORGIA, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 21, 1924 w Mrs. Harding Mrs. HARDING newspapers they serve. The verdict of the first trial court will not be accepted as a basis for such a ruling by the exchange, in case it is adverse, according to Mr. Brooks. He said that without doubt the local exchange would appeal to the state supreme court In which case the exchange would wait on a ruling by that body. Solicitor-General Boykin based his prosecution on the Atlanta commercial exchange on the allega tion that it “displays blackboards upon which futures iftjotations are posted or printed” and that “it deals ip futures on margins” both of which are prohibited under the laws of the State of Georgia. The progress of the case was said Thursday to be at a standstill, the grand Jury not being in session.

COURT IS CROWDED FOR THE HEARING, When the hearing opened Thursday the little courtroom was crowded be yond capacity. As the Rev. Mr. Stew art began his story of the tragedy a blanket of silence fell. The little minister’s voice was clear and calm for the most part. He told how he had been aroußeil from bed last Thursday night by John Reeves, a next-door neighbor, who said some men in their automo biles wanted to speak to him. The minister dressed and approached the cars. Then, he said, when he recog nized several of the men he started to turn back when suddenly he was seized and forced into ono of the »u --you—you’veo u—you’ve made your last raid," one of the then said to Mm, according to Rev. Mr. Stewart, who explained that the reference was to his active help In breaking up moon shining and bootlegging In his parish. The men pinned him down and he resisted, said the minister.

As she lay prostrate on the ground, I saw a man from one of the automobiles fire another shot Into her body." In the excitement the Rev. Mr. Stewart said, he leaped from the ear and ran for help. He returned when he saw the men speeding away anil picking his pistol from the hands of his dying wife, fired the remaining bullets at the men. Dr. E. F. Eaves, a neighbor of Rev. Mr. Stewart's, testified that he reach ed Mrs. Stewart soon after she was wounded and that she told him that "Cal Bishop was one of the men.” It was announced Thursday night that It was very probable that a upe elal term of superior court would he called here to try those who might be indicted.

There has been less weather dam age since November 1 than la com monly expected. “As has been previously reported, tho quality of tho lint and seed Is not as good as usual In most of the Atlantic states. The lint In these states is reported to be short er than usual, a result of drought following a cold, wet, late spring. In the Atlantic States north of Florida September rains damaged many of tho bolls and the lint from them is stained. Damage on this account in North Carolina is re ported to bo greater than that caused by the boll weevil. In Tennessee, Arkansas and Ok lahoma, however, the quality of the lint seems to be about as good as usual both with regard to discol orations and to length of fiber, al though in theso states there will be a small quantify of stained and low quality cotton lacked from imma ture bolls. youth” would be discovered as fail ure of the glands to function was the cause of old age. “By increasing the.action of slug gish glands and slowing dowu the overactive glands, remarkable re sults have been accomplished and wo are on the verge of even greater achivcments which will make pos sible the production of the perfect man,” Dr. Fiske said. Dr. Dlffenbach expressed the opinion that control of the ductless glands was far superior to implan tation of monekey glands for the reeto#*tien gt youth.
