the murder of George Wright, ac.
cused of intimacy vita Sanford's wife,

time during his former trial.
The intense interest here seems un-

Mrs. Sanford is not here during THIS

trial, and that fact detracts somewhat
from the dramatic interest, but she is
said to be in close touch with her at
torneys and may appear upon the
scene at any stage of the trial.

Atlanta, Jan. 9.-Cotton buyers

Tuesday President Jordan said:
Information is being received at the

ing that the same plans are now being
pursued by certain cotton buyers who
are short on their contracts. that were

who have on hand from so to 100 or

lowing proposition is made. we are
willing to take your cotton at present

that you can demand settlement at any
time between now and the first of May,

Short on Deliveries.
The gentlemen who are sending out
these enttcing epistles are evidently
short on their spot deliveries for Janu-
airy and February. They evidently
cannot get what they want in the open
markets. They can easily hedge against
these transactions, it makes no differ
ence which way the market goes Il
am also informed that some of the
mills are also trying to borrow cot
ton in their neignbOrhoods on pretty
much the same kind of proposition.
Spot holders are warned against
these ingenious devices. Ii the spot
cotton passes into the hands of
Buyers and mills the strength of the
mar>@t will be wiped cut. There is
but cne sure policy for the spot holders
tc pursue in the present fight they are
in, and that is to hold their cotton firm
y in their own possession until the
people who need and offer satlsfsc-
tory prices. We know now that the
crop is short and that the balance oil
the unsold portion CT this crop mus,
bring higher prices to offset the de-
pressed markets we had to suffer in
September and OctCSer. My advice
is not to listen at any proposals for
partial trades or propositions to bor-
row.
Stand pat and demand the fun
price. We are sure to win if we firm
ly hold the small balance of the unsold
crop for Is cents"

roasting, but other commands are.
Touching the officers the report says,
"a majority of them are unframed and
ignorant, and therefore, unable to train
their men. Unfortunately, however,
many add to their shortcoming the
grave fault of Indifference Their am
bition does not seem to rise any higher
than to get military rank by election
to commissioned rank, and to acquire
q uniform and equipments at the ex-
pense of the state. They are ignorant
of the laws and of the regulations, be-
cause they do not read them. The
records are in bad shape, etc, and,
worst of all, no one seemed ashamed of
the dirty and neglected condition in
which everything was found. 1.-THE Fort
Gaines, Columbus, Triton and Daw-
son companies are given particularly
severe roasts. Some of the captains
are branded as Ignorant and inefi =
Gent" Some of the companies are
deemed valueless. The regimental
band is severely criticised, and graft
ication is expressed that it is to be
discontinued, promise of the colonel
commanding having been given to that
effect.

DECISION FOR SOUTHERN BELL
State Law AS to Gross Receipts Tax
Not Upheld

In an order handed down in Fulton
Superior Court Judge John T. PendIe-
ton holds that the state law requiring
telephone, express and other compa-
MES to pay taxes amounting to % per
cent on their gross receipts is unco1-
stitutional because of conflict with that
provision of the constitution which re-
quires uniformity of taxes withoutdis-
elimination on the same class SUBJECTS
The only corporation that was seriously
affected by this tax was the Southern
Bell Telephone Company. The state
has a claim of about $4,000 against
that company covering the difference
between the ad valorem taxes on lis
property and franchises and the % per
cent gross receipts tax for the last
three or four years, which the tele-
phone company refused to pay. The
company has, however, always paid it's
ad valorenl taxes.
