Says Bull Leader is Friend
 of Cotton Growers.
Denunciation By Wilson of specula- tors Who Sought to Advance Prsc- es is Without Parallel, Thinks
 the Baltimore Editor.

Atlanta. Ga. April 1s.-The Atlanta Constitution will tomorrow quote Rich ard H. Edmonds, editor Of The Manu- lecturers Record of Baltimore. in an extensive interview on the cotton situa- ton in the South and on the suspension of Daniel Sully. Mir. Edmonds agrees with sully in the belief that the cotton crop is not likely to be increased for several years owing to the seed deterio- rating and the lack of labor to culti- vate and pick the crop. r.e.
 In the interview Mir. Ednonds takes occasion to, state that Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture made an unjustiflable interference with the trade when he denounced and criticized the cotton bulls as gamblers. MT. Ed- mond's interview in part follows.
 The efforts of the bears who control the New York cotton exchange to keep Sully from getting on his feet again in order thereby to prevent his restoration to membership on the exchange are giv- ing the country an object lesson which may prove very beneficial to the South. One of the bears is quoted as saying: Why should we accept Sully's offer when he would make. out of us the money to pay us?V IT " 5~r
 Tt may be worth while to explain Sully's position in the matter of suspen- sion. Impressed by the tendency to smaller crops of late years "a close study caused him to foresee that production was not keeping pace with consumption. His investigation led him to believe that this Is largely due to seed deterioration. that on this account 1t will be impossi- ble to produce large crops until there Is a marked improvement in the quality of seed. A crop of 11.5OOcoo bales Is not suf- ficient to meet the worlds needs, and until our crop is largely increased be-

EDMONDS DEPENDS SULLY
 AND CRITICISES WILSON

yond that figure we ought not to see cotton below 10 cents a pound, though with some resourceful daring bull leader. such as sully and others who have led in the fight for year or two. and 1t may be possible for the cotton bears to break prices below that on any fair promise of a good crop"
 Mir. Edmonds then refers to rule which holds on the cotton exchange in regard to suspensions, and asserts that if the announcement of Sully's suspen- sion had been made two minutes earlier 1t would have meant s1,6O0,0 900 for Suily. This rule is to the effect that If. a sus- pension is announced as much as one hour before the closing the settlement must be made on the basis of the aver age prices of that day, but if the sus- pension is announced after 2 p. m. (the exchange closes at 8 the settlement must be made on the basis of the average prices for the following day. Continuing Mir. Edmonds said:
 "The play of the bears for years has been to beat down prices and keep them down till cotton was out of the hands of the farmers and then. and not till then, to let it advance. in order that they and the foreign mills might reap the profits to which the growers were justly entitled. sully. Brown. Hayne and their associates sought to advance prices early in the season that the South might thus get the benefit of the profits. They added $1oo,ooo.ooo or more to the Souths wealth last year by this cam paign.'' -...
 Referring to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, Mir. Edmonds says: +'
 But let us have no more national in- reference with the prices such as Sec retary Wilson undertook last fall when he denounced the. cotton bulls as gamb- lers and a curse to the country. A more unJustifable interference with trade and a more baseless criticism showing an ab- solute lack of knowledge about the cot ton. situation as Secretary Wilson dis- played probably never before iemanated from a cabinet officer. When the bears have hammered down. prices and de- stroyed the last chance for a profit to the growers. Secretary Wilson has never. believe. denounced them as gamblers and curse to the country bull is a gambler if he makes the Secretary's frienls pay good prices for cotton. but the bear who beats down prices for the benefit of the same people himself in- cluded, to the loss of the producer. whose interests the Agricultural Department is supposed to represent, Is a gentleman and a scholar" ,.s.t

CARD FROM MIR. COMER
ISSUES ADDRESS TO DEMOCRATS
 OF ALABAMA.
A. R Lawson, Who Killed Dump Me Donald in Pistol Duel In Birming- ham Dies from Wounds Re-
 ceived in Encounter.

Birmingham, April 1S.-(Special.)-B B. Conner, Democratic nominee for chair- man of the State Railroad Commission, today issued the following address: s .. To the Democrats Of Alabama:
 The primary of Alabama had a dis tinctly drawn issue-whether the railroads should control the State, or whether the people should control the railroads and
 limit their power of taxation in a req sonable degree. 4Et
 The people won a glorious victory. My election will not be dangerous to the railroads or their employees: it will be safe to the people. With the continued hel- of the people. Alabama should main- tain equitable relations with the railroads Of the State. I do not believe that any monopoly serves the good of the people unless restrained by some outside inf1u- cree. That influence, in this case, can only be the laws of the State, and think it conservative that those laws should be put into execution.
 The administration of the law. subject to the revision of the courts, cannot be dangerous to any legitimate business or interest. but by proper afflliation and consideration on the part of the railroad interest be of great benefit to every spe- cles of property in the State
 think 1t the design of the law that the commission work to this end, and I further think that 1t is to be the best and most lasting interest of the railroad com panies that they help carry it out
 It will be no purpose of mine to en- gender friction. The people want only what Is fair and reasonable, and this should be conceded on the part of our carriers, and that without friction.
 thank the people for their express slons of confidence, and can assure them, all reports to the contrary. that am a citizen of average standing,$ born of Christian parents, and that have tried to take the right-hand forks in the jour ney of life. .-.
 I will try to be dangerous only to the wrong. and that is what the oflce means
 tried to conduct a clean campaign. I have no i'll will to my competitors, and trust that the scathing rebuke given to the vicious, and slanderous matter in- u o6uced into this campaign by the rail- rt ads will make the repetition forever in. possible.
 Twenty-two thousand majority is a Jin. Dandy endorsement, and the people have my lasting gratitude. That part of the press which supported the people have their sncerest thinks. T. thank eHo IL T. A. C' C' l. ana the Angels or tho Road (the drummers) They all did a great work for the people and should fee. elated at their success.
 1 would caution the people that reforms are not made quickly, that the landslide must be followed up, that the people are to manage their own affairs, that they should continue to study their own interests and vote that way.
 The farmer and the consumer pay the freight, and the veal or woe of the farmer and consumer is the prosperity D. the diversity of the State. and every citizen should join in their protection.
 With thanks to all, ennl1ty to none, I am very truly yours B. B. Conner
