THINKS BULL-5AT BILL
is A USELESS LUXURY

To the Editor of The Journal
Every citizen of Georgia who read your
editorial about the great bull-bat bill in
troduced IN the Georgia legislature is
proud Of The Journal editor. No one
need be surprised at what comes next in
the shape Of bills" to burden the people
with when your news columns show that
IL has cost the state $1,000 to pass three
local bills that could have been better
attended to by the localities which they
affect.
Another bill which shows that the leg
Islature should meet at least once every
ten years is the proposed bill to force
patent medicine manufacturers TO place
the formula on every bottle Of their med
icine sold in Georgia. This bin should
never get as far as the oull-bat bill has.
1t is an injustice TO one class Of people
to expose their private formulas to the
world simply to please the NJ. D. profess
sion. who are hourly writing prescrip-
lions in technical terms and charging
fees for them, when If they were written
In plain English the doctor would be
ashamed to charge for them and the pa
tient could compound 1t in his own closet
II the bill to force the exposure o. the
patent medicine formula is ever brought
Irp. let il be amended so as TO include q
paragraph forcing the practicing physi-
clan 10 write hts prescriptions in plainest
English, so the patient will know what he

HOUSE COMMITTEE
RECOMMENDS HALL BILL

Should the house and senate adopt the
recommendation made by the general ju-
dietary committee the Southern Railway
Co. will have to become incorporated
under the laws of Georgia. The vote
stood IA for the recommendation and u
against.
The bill which was up for consideration
was introduced by Messrs. Hall. Knight,
Underwood, Rankin, Deal, Tigner. Glenn,
Richardson. If the measure is passed
the Southern will not be the only rail-
road to come under the ban, as several
other railroad companies will be affected
by the law.
There was quite a lively debate over
the bill before the committee. Joe Hill
Hall, of Bibb, John w. Akin, of Barlow,
and H. NJ Overstreet, of Screven, cham
pioned the passage of the bill and spoke
for a favorable recommendation. Hamil-
ton McWhorter, advisory counsel of the
Southern Railwey company, Fleming @.
duBignon, consulting attorney of the At
lantic Coast Line. and Representative
Clarence Wilson, Of Clay, opposed the
measure and spoke against a favorable
report.
The committee made the report to the
house Thursday, and 1t is expected that
under a special resolution the meas
ure will be made the special order for
one day next week. The debate in the
house over the bill will probably be
livelier than in the committee room.

expense to secure this report, having en-
ployed 62S local agents, making one special
agent for nearly every cotton county in
the south. I am of the opinion that the
report is nearer correct than wrong.
This report is more in harmony with
the September crop estimate of the agri-
cultural department and bears out the
general opinion of a short crop this sea-
son. These department reports are pre-
sumed to furnish this information for
the benefit of the producers, spinners, cot
ton buyers and the trade generally, with
but one object in view, namely, to get
the truth as nearly as 1t can be fore
cast.
On the other hand, we have the reports
of Mr.. Buston, who estimates the yield
at II, 100000 bales, minimum. This report
is what is known as Buston's Palace Car
Observation statistics; that is, Mr.. Bus
ton secured his Information largely by
looking out of the windows of Pullman
cars, while travelling 40 to so miles per
hour, in his tour through the south some
weeks ago.
Mr.. Neil, the great and only Neil. also
issued an estimate of the crop last week,
predicting a yield of from 11,5OO000 to
100000 bales. These men represent the
spinners and are solely interested in de-
pressing the price Of cotton so their en-
from the producers. Their reports have
seriously affected the market recently
and the price of cotton has fallen. Neil
and Buston both have had the co-opera-
ton of the bear element of the specu-
lative trade TO help them, and a great
bulk of the farmers who have willingly
turned loose their cotton at depressed
prices On the other hand, the census
department estimate has not received the
backing and endorsement of the farmers
TO any great extent. If 1t be a well
established fact that this is to be a short
crop, all farmers who now have cotton
should refuse to sell a pound of 1t at
present prices. There will be a decided
ceipts should now continue to drop of,
prices will soon begin to materially adj
vance.
The report of Mr.. Peters, covering his
recent investigations of the Texas crop,
was published in the last issue of this
paper, and shows the fallacy of Bus
toms high estimates for that state. The
different cotton growing associations
should meet and strenuously condemn the
actions Of such men as Buston and Neil
Farmers ought to study the situation and
Il convinced the yield win fall short of
a heavy crop, they should hold tight to
the remainder of the crop. Personally,
shall hold my cotton for better prices,
firmly believing that before spring tho
price win be cents per pound better
than now.

MOB SWINGS NEGRO FOR
MURDER IN TENNESSEE

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Nov. 18.-A Ban
ner special from Lewisburg says the hor-
ribly mutilated body OF Robert Adair was
found in the field near his home at an
early hour this morning.
Adair heard some one in a wagon, who
had been stealing corn, and started in
pursuit with a small rifle, the stock and
barrel Of which was found near his dead
body. A knife all covered with blood
was also found, and was identified as
the property of John Davis, colored.
The sheriff organized posse and went
to the house OF Davis. where the bloody
clothes he wore were located, but the
murderer had fed. Search was unrelent-
ing, and the negro was caught about half
a mile from town, but not until he had
been twice wounded.
He was brought back and the sheriff
and Rev. John Royal Harris made an
appeal to the people to allow the law
to take it's course, but the mob was deaf
to all entreaties and hung the negro in
the courthouse yard.
There were about 500 unmasked men in
the crowd.

TARIFF WAR IS
STARTED BY
GERMANY
REICHSTAG ADOPTS MEASURE
FOR RETALIATION ON C0UN-
TRIES WHICH DISCRIMINATE
AGAINST GERMAN GOODS.

BERLIN, Nov. 13.-The reichstag to-
day adopted by 1872 to II votes the para
graph of the new tariff bill authorizing
the government to retaliate on any coun-
try discriminating against German goods.
The Agrarians simply affirmed that 1t
was necessary to arm the country with
weapons for reprisal and especially
against the United States customs prac-
tees.
DIR. Brumer, national liberal, cited an
Instance in which he said 100000 worth Of
enamelled goods were ordered in Ger
many for New York, but, the speaker
asserted, 1.-The customs officials changed
the classification at the instance of the
American trust. whereupon the New York
importer cancelled the order"
1T was proved to the customs Of
ficials," said DR.. Brumer. that the in
voice was in exact accord with the Ger
man records and that instead of the goods
being undervalued the books showed that
shipments had been made to India at still
lower prices"
DR. Brumer further asserted that the
customs officials treatment was dictated
by the interests of the home maRufac-
turers and he continued:
''It is said we must not offend the
United States, but they will respect us
more and we shall gain more by showing
our teeth than-by always giving pleasant
words
Herr Gothein, radical liberal replied
that such words We're no fitting epilogue
to the sentiments expressed by Count
PosadowslIy, the home secretary, in the
presence of the foreign secretary, Baron
Won Richthon, at Ambassador Whites
farewell dinner.
'They will make dIscord,'' he continu-
ed, among the wishes spoken there for
friendly relations with the United States.
Why empower the government to do
something it does not want to do? AL
though the present government would not
apply the paragraph some succeeding
government might commit such a folly.
Retallatory duties are the weapon of
Chauvinism and not of patriotism"
Herr Fischback, radical, said all the
chambers of commerce were opposed to
tariff war with the United States.
Herr Broemel, radical. remarked that
If Germany adopted retaliatory meas-
ures against the United States because
of regulations which applied to the goods
of all countries it would be a serious
breach of the existing treaties.
The Associated Press is authorized to
announce that the ministry has not de-
cided to drop the tariff bill, as published
in London, but it determined to persist
until the dissolution of the reichstag in
June. The tariff debate will probably
be abruptly suspended by the presenta-
ton of the budget in few days instead
of waiting for the first week in December,
as previously intended. Chancellor Won
Buelow finds that the reichstags time Is
being wasted and wishes to employ the
house on the finance bill. AS soon as
the latter is read, the government viii
take up the tariff bin, when lapse of time
will have reduced the majority in the
house to a more yielding disposition.
The ministry also has decided not to
agree with Russia or any other country
for a five-year extension, of existing COM
mercial treaties.

DIFFERENCES IN ESTIMATES
OF THE COTTON CROP
FORSYTH. Ga. No

FORSYTH, Ga, November z, lSOz
To the Editor of The Atlanta Journal:
A. ]. Buston. the Liverpool Messiah, has
come and gone. His estimate of the cot
ton crop eleven two. Henry Neil, an
sother Englishman, who lives in New Or
leans, everybody thought at one time was
dead. not politically, but statistically-
1t seems that he has been resurrected in
the interest OF the bear clique, his estl-
mate being eleven five to twelve Million
These estimates have been put out in the
interest of the bear crow in New YORK
to cover in their short sales of March cot
ton. and get long. which has been very
efIecIual. There has been a terrible rat
ling Of dry bones in the last day or two
in the bull ranks. When March cotton
was selling from eightysix TO seventy,
Mr.. Price and his followers flooded the
country with short crop gossip and ten
cents inevitable.
At the same time the clique were buying
one hundred January and selling hve
hundred March to the lambs, or selling
five times as much March as they were
buying January. a nice bait 70 buy jan
uary twenty-five points premiums over
March and make March look cheap TO the
lambs to buy and the clique to SCI on.
Why don't Mr.. Price and his crowd adj
wise buying now around eight cents for
March, instead of giving so much advice
to Duy when March was eighty severn
The cotton market has about struck bot
tom and good healthy advance is now IN
order, liquidation of the long interest hav-
ing been drastic. Regarding size Of this
crop. II we were to get from now on as
much cotton as last year. we would have
a crop of about 10, 900.O 900 bales. It is con-
coded by every one this crop has been
marketed three weeks earlier than last
years crop. this being an unusually early
year and last year unusually late
The first killing frost came the 10th OF
November. The two years 100000 and
upwards were made cotton picking was
not finished until the 18th of April in some
LOCALITIES. We doubt IL any cotton will
be picked as late as the 18th of December
Nine-tenths of the public ginneries has
stopped and the balance run only about
one day In the week. Many of the cotton
fields in this section has been ploughed up
and has been planted in oats.
Our travelling man has just returned
from a trip through Alabama and Mis-
sissippi. selling bacA-bands, and he re-
ports a short crop in both states and more
especially In Alabama. Our Mr.. ]. B. Har-
rison is also travelling in states west OF
the Mississippi river and his reports are
not at all hattering. In the past eighteen
years consumption has averaged 100000
bales Increase per year. Why not an in
crease this year of 100000 bales?

Yours truly,

To the Editor of The Journal:
1 notice that your Sunday edition has

bat bill. If the game laws are not hui
morous then this bill Is not. for this has
been one of the biggest loopholes ever
made for the violation of these laws.
Please look over the field and IL statis-
tically inclined figure up how many mill
lions Of partridges and doves have been
killed before the game laws were per-
missive under the name bull-bats and
brought in ready picked to avoid identifi-
cation. This bill protects the game In an
incidental way.
The law prohibits the shooting OF insec-
tivorous or singing birds, but excerpts from
its operation night hawks and sparrows,
etc. Now, don't know whether the bull
bat can be made a night hawk, but II he
can, then the whippoorwill is branded a
night hawk. Nor. indeed. do know how
to draw a distinction between the two
names, not knowing the difference be-
tween a bu1l-bat and the male or female
whippoorwill. Not being naturalist,
wish some one to inform me of the exact
difference between the two. There are,
of course (See Encyclopedia Britannica).
