EERS (F FOES
CAPITAL F
i
By JAMES B. NEVIN,
It }:vould be just as well, perhaps,
all things considered, if some of the
more partisan and intolerant follow
ers of both Sen
ator Smith and
Governor Brown i,
would get their Sl DB
bearings before |
the campaign R
progresses to S
that point where, R w
for one reason [HEEE
and another, [§%% ,’ e

extremely Qiff. [B ©oo
cult—it it gets Ll
to that point. ke |
It seems ' ‘'to & i
not- a few obh- w 9 !
servers of events 7 AN
‘and things that ] d
some of Sena- & i
tor Smith’s over- ;
zealous enthusi- G ;
asts are making {§ Rl
the same tacti- A s,-'(M:(
cal and fatal wi\o) NS
mistake that ' zome
somie of them W v
madg in the first and most famous of
all the Smith-Brown contests—the
mistake of sneering at and ridiculing
the little man from Marletta.
A disposition to refer to “Little Joe”
in terms of contempt and to refer to
him as a “two-bhy-four statesman,”
and go on, has cropped out already in
some quarters.
Sneers and gibes may be very fun
ny—-=when one is carried away by par
tisan zeal-—-but upon them “Joe”
Brown has waxed fat and prosperous
politically in the past, and he might
again!
Take it from one who means well,
anyway, fellows—there's nothing to
it! Better cut it out. It has the most
terrific back kick of any sort of talk
this writer can imagine. “Little Joe”
is “Little Joe,' and he fen't, never
wag, and never will be anybody’s
fool!
On the other hand, some of Gov
ernor Brown's followers also have
been stricken with a form of midsum
mer madness that most probably isn't
getting them anywhere.
There isn’t any use in protesting
that Senator Smith is “afraid to face
the people,” and that his disinclina
tfon to return from Washington and
plunge into a stumping tour of the
Qtate at this time indicates an admit
ted “weakness” on his part.
Senator Smith belongs in Washing
ton—there is where his post of duty
js—and Georglans are not apt to think
he is “skeered” merely because he re
fuses to come home and orate the
while his work in the National Con
gress i 8 neglected.
Senator Smith is one of the main
dependencies of the White *House in
the Congress. The President is look
ing to him for aid and support in
putting into effect the full platform
of the Demwcracy as the President
seces it. The Senator will get more
votes in Georgia BECAUSE of his
devotion to his duty than he would
get by stumping the State while his
work suffered in his absence. i
Georgia is not going to believe that
he is “afraid” of somebody hecause
he refuses to neglect his Senatorial
duty.
Oscar Underwood stuck to his job
in Washington while Hobson tried in
every conceivable way and for months
to unhorse him. Hobson's neglect of
his duty in Washington cost him
dearly—as it should have —and Un
derwood's calm and dignified atten
tion to his duty won him thousands
of sane and level-headed friends.
The campaign poet at last 1% In
our midst!
He haiis from St. Marys, his name
is C. 8. Arnow, and he's pretty good
on his job. He certainly undertakes
to put a vein of method in his mad
ness, too, for this is what he writes:
«“There’s nothing in a name” they
say,
But don’t rely on that.
YWhen you vote for “Harris"” on elec
tion day,
Be sure you vote for “Nat."
The idea is, of course, “Don’t get
vour Harrises mixed on election day!”
There is a “Bill” running, as well
as a “Nat,” vou know.
John Y. Smith, one Fulton’'s Repre
sentatives in the Legislature, is a
popular man in the House, and his
colleagues are takjng great interest
in his race for Recorder of the City
of Atlanta, to cucceed Nash Broyles,
who will retire to make the race for
the Court of Appeals.
A number of Smith’s friends have
formed a sort of legislative cam
paign committee on behalf of John,
and are putting in a lot of spare time
whooping things up for their Fulton
associate.
Smith says he would beat all of his
opposition “to & frazzle” if only he
could get Atlanta as solidly for him
ag the Legislature seems to be!
A few dayvs ago a statement ap
peared in this column to the effect
that “all opposition to Candler Coun
ty had been removed.”
This statement was objected to by
some citizens of Stillmore, and that
objection was wired to The Georgian
and to various newspapers in the
State,
The statement that “all objection
had been removed’ wag intended to
apply to the former opposition of the
Representative in the Legislature
only—and was not intended te~cover
all individual objections upon the
part of citizens. This writer stated
that Candler would pass—which it
did Tuesday by the conclusive vote
of 149 to 14. This writer was merely
undertaking to state the facts in the
situation, and the likely outcome of
the fight. He had no intention wnat
ever of offending some of the good
citizens of Stillmore.
The next county to come up for
consideration will be the proposed
new county of Tate. The committee
has recommended it, and, as these
recommendations largely govern the
action in the House, this new county
is ‘thought by its friends to have an
excellent chance to pass

who was drunk, that if he did not go
home he would be locked up. “I dare
you to arrest me,” said Garrett, “If
you do T will slap your face.”
“You are under arrest” promptly
rejoined the offictr. And as promptly
his face was slapped.
Recorder Cochran thought this
trifling with the dl(nit{ of an arrest

punishment, 80 he fined Garrett $45

AMr. Douglas. besides being an ex

proud.

creating Barrow County, and Repre
sentative “Nick” Rainey is the hap
piest man in the world, therefore.
Rainey stood right beside the Gov

his friends have been fighting for
Barrow too long and too hard net to
be just about tickled to death over
its triumphant victory, at last!
The bill will go to the people for
ratification as a constitutional amend
ment in October, and, of course, it
will be favorably acted upon in that

Cordill's Report on Mississippi,
Bearish Cables and Fine Weath

NEW YORK, July B—With a contin
‘uation of favorable weather over the

hfl. coupled with Cordill's report on
' ississippl, which was construed as
very bearish and bearish cables on Eng
lish_trade conditions, the catton market
‘ommd easier to-dae', with prices at a
‘net decline of 2 to 6 points from Tues
day’s close.
~ Sentiment was agalinst the market and
offerings became heavy on the call, but
this was !‘oflut to a certain extent by
support ffom :ggt houses. As a whole,
“however, the ying power was slim
and the trend conitnued downward
\throu(hout the elrlg' forenoon. July
broke 6 points to 13.30, August 9 to
12.21, October 8 to 12.08, and December
9 to 12.19. The selling was based also
on a cable from Manchester uylng that
‘the market there was depressed and
that if the weather continues favorable,
‘a further decline is expected. Coupled
‘with this the local crowd hammered on
‘reflorts of rain in Texas.
| iquidation came to a sudden halt
during the early afternoon when brok
ers repreaentlni Liverpool accounts
came in the market, absorbing offerings
quite freely and the Texas detailed
weather report, showing only a few
scattered showers and temperatures well
100 degrees yesterday. This inspired a
wave of active covering by shorts, with
the result that the maket soon retrieved
‘the entire early decline
At ‘the close the market was steady
with prices at a net decline of 1 to i

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, July B.—The Gov
ernment maa) shows cloudy weather in
the Central #tates, fair in the Atlantics,
Texas and Oklahoma, On‘lg good })re~
cipitation was at Altas, Okla., Little
Rock and Wilmington, N. C. Otherwise
only five stations with light precipita
tion in the belt. Indications are for
partly cloudy to fair weather, except
cloudy In southern Texas. There may
be some showers in eastern Arkansas,
Tennessee and the southern portion of
Texas, but there are no indications for
general rains.
Liverpool followed up yesterday's ad
vance of threatened short time by a de.
¢line of 12 golnts in spot quotations;
sales, 5,000 bales. Many believe that
systematic efforts are being made tou
break the manipulative hold of the bull
faction in July- August.
Our market opened about four points
lower and held steady with a fair de
mand. 'ihere fs more 'melination to loolk
upon prites near 12 cents as reasonably
safe. While not conspicuous, the trade
is a steady buyer of contracts on de
pressions.
Bears felt encouraged by a very bear
ish report on Mississippi by a promi
nent crop inspector and on the expecta
tion of further rains West and sold
freely toward the close of the first hour,
causing a deeline of 12.21 for October.
Port receipts are somewhat larger in
the eastern Gulf and Atlantic distriets,
which is interpreted as an {increased
disposition to release old holdings with
Itmproved crop , prospects in that terri
ory.
Government records show 30 stations

1. E. Crusel, of H. F. Bockman &
Co,, who has li::"' returned m‘: a trip
throuqh the -tem_ belt, findg condi
tions In that section of the cotton belt
most favorable.
“While North and South Carolina do
not point to a reoord-br&nkln‘ crop, it
is reasonably certain at they will
make a normal crop, and if weather
conditions continue favorable a little
better than normal,’” says Mr. Crusel
"Georfla and Alabama have magnificent
conditions and point to a record-break
ing crop; while there are spots here
and there, on the whole the crop is do
ing extremely well and in many sec
tions of the Eastern States the plant is
laden with bolls. Conditions in Ten
nessee have not been so favorable as in
other Siates. Rain was badly needed
up to a cougle of days ago, but this sit
uation has been relieved, and from this
on the crop ought to Improve greatly.
Missigsippi and Louisiana are doing very
well and will probably raize a full crop
on the acreage. Conditions otherwise
in the South are not of the best.”

DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW YORK, July 8-—The market
#old off ten points from the openin& fig
ures at the outset, on sales of 12,000 to
18,000 bales credited to the houses that
were the most prominent on the bull
side during the advance following the
May bureau. There was also free local
selling, but the contracts were all ab
gorbed by Liverpool and svatterfl buy
ers, with the result that the market by
noon had regained much of its loss,
Private re}{mrts of rains in Texas
heélped the first hour weakness, but
shorts covered on the posting of the
Texas weather detail showing only a
few scattered showers and temperatures
well over 100 yesterday,
Cables told of poor Manchester busi
ness, but nothing was heard to-day on
the short time proposition. The news
generally is bearish enough to force
prices lower, but except for liquidation
there is no pressure on the market and
caution should be observed in following
the decline this early in the season.

COTTON SEED OIL. ‘
NEW" YORK, July B.—Rather heavy‘
liquidation in August and September on ‘
the part of outside longs, as well as
selling by refiners, caused a decline of
b or 6 points in cotton seed 01l to-day.
The break in coton also contributed to
the early weakness. Offerings on the
decline were fairly well absorbed and
covering of pit shorts served to check
the downward course of values.

PRICE CURRENT ON GRAIN,
————
CINCINNATI, July 8. —The harvest of
winter wheat is nearing completion.
The yields generally running ahove con
dition indications and a crop of 650,000,
000 bushels on announced acreage seems
assured.
Spring wheat in a god state, excess
ive rains having done small damage.
The soil is amply fortified with moisture
to make the crop. The one danfer is an
outbreak of blacker destructive rust
and the past week, though conditions
were unfavorable for development of the
rust, the market was disturbed by un
founded reports of {ts rrevuence in
scattered localities, Until the crop has
reached maturity, the plant is in danger
from this infestation. Hot, stagnant
weather breeds the rust and the weath
er from day to day will be the best
guide. )
The oats crop in the northern tier of
States and down to the lower tier of
counties in lowa is In good condition
with the harvest working northward.
Rains fell over large part of the dry
area last week and gave corn the
needed relief.
