Gently:
'Ellaville, Ga, April 2O 1000
Hon ThOs. E. Watson, Thomson Ga
Dear Sir There is before me on my desk
an affidavit and other papers from members
OF the Roberts family proving clearly every
thing that | have said about you and even
more
Will you allow me space in your paper to
reply to your last card:
Most respectfully
(Signed) &C. A. Norton
In reply to this we invited Mr. Norton to
come along with his papers. promising to pub
lish them What he sends will be found else
where in this issue.
Now, let us go back a little: what was It
that Norton charged against me?
In substance he said that, in collision with
Ex-Governor Mcdaniel / had robbed the Al-
son heirs of an estate of 100000!
Over his signature, Mr., Norton published
in our paper of April IS, the positive state
ments,-
G) That Allison left an estate of 100000,
mostly in money;
(2) That Mcdaniel, later Governor of Geor-
gia, was Executor of the estate;
CD That, after legacy of $4,000 was paid
to Greene county for educational pur-
poses, the remainder of the 100000
went to Mrs Starke whose daughter
afterwards married Roberts;
(4) That Roberts turned over to Watson
paper or deed representing the es-
tate;
60 That Watson's loss of this paper caused
the loss of the estate. Norton had
told Pitcher that the Courthouse was
burned and the records destroyed;
and
CO.. That Watson and Mcdaniel built fine
houses, soon acknowledgements
ably on the $4,000 stolen from the
children of Roberts, grandchildren Of
the former Mrs Starke
Now, here was damning indictment. How
any man of cOmnon-Sense could so arragn a
fellow citizen without having the evidence to
sustain the charges, | can not understand.
The readers Of the Jeffersonian will remem-
Der how the charges were met. It was

COTTON MARKET
 MAKES ADVANCE Rising Tendency Is Felt Soon
 After the Opening PFI9ES CLOSE HIGHER Forecast Calling for Showers and Un- settled Weather In the West
 Causes Weakness and Pre-
 vents Much Advance.
PFIGES CLOSE HIGHER

New York March 29.-The cotton market was generally higher today, the close be- ing steady at net advance of to ' points The opening was steady at a net advance of points to a net decline of l point which was about due, but after some little irregularity developed an up- ward tendency due to covering and for eign buying of the near months
 Rumors that leading bull interests were to support the market more progressively may have had some influence also, and while reaction to about the closing fig ure of last night followed, the western belt forecast calling for showers and un- settled weather, the market again firmed up and at one time during the afternoon sold at net advance of to@11 points, With the near months relatively firm. A moderate reaction occurred in the later trading, under realizing, but the final tone was steady and new crow months closed at the best prices of the day.
 There seemed to be very little of fresh feature and much of the buying here was supposed to be in the way of undoing Liverpool straddles.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed early were unchanged to 1-16 lower Private cables concerning the Manches-. ter situation were unfavorable and there were rumors that short time in Lan- cashire was to be extended.
 Receipts at the ports today, 21 ,O54 bales, against 19,9l7 last week and 23,22S last year. For the week, 90000, against 95 4SS last week and 9S,3s1 last year

WHITAKER MUST
 SERVE IN PRISON

New Orleans, March 23.-By the ac- tion of the state board of pardons this afternoon in refusing to grant his pe- tition for a recommendation of par don, Edward s. Whitaker, former in spector of police of New Orleans, must serve three months in the parish prison here. While he was at the head of the police department. Whitaker, ac- companied by several detectives, en- tered the office of local morning pa per and shot several times at the edi- tor, who was, however, not injured. The assault grew out of articles which the editor had printed attacking the inspec- tor.
 After being convicted in the crim- inaI district court, Whitaker's attor- neys took an appeal to the supreme court. Upon withdrawal of this appeal shortly afterward, Governor Sanders granted a reprieve to Whitaker, pend ing action by the board of pardons.

STOCK MARKET IS
 FAIRLY STEADY Attempt to Advance Prices Is Not Very Successful LONDON MARKET IGNORE D Some Show of Strength Is Made at the Opening, But Several Factors
 Keep Prices From
 Going Higher.
LONDON MARKET IGNORE D

New York, March 23.-The stock mar ket today showed quite plainly the effect of the reduction of the short interest. which has been brought about since the driving to cover of the bears yesterday, and, indeed. ever since the introduction of the tariff revision bill into Congress.
 Some attempt was made today by the professional element to extend the ad- vance, but the amount of stock for sale at the higher levels presented an obstacle. The needs of the shorts seemed not to be so urgent and the market relapsed lhto extreme dullness and then ran off rapidly.
 Foreign influences, which were potent yesterday on the side of the advance, were no longer operative in that direc- tion. There was some revival of uneasi- ness over the Balkan situation abroad, and London was a seller of stocks here on a moderate scale. The London reac- tion was ignored at the outset of trad ing here, and quite show of strength was made with some appearance of yes terday's considerable rise. The position of the professional element as defined by those operations on the long side of the market was that the tariff discussion had entered on a stage where it was not likely to attract lively interest for time, while the spring recess of the su- preme court insured exemption from an influence that has proved disturbing to speculative sentiment with the weekly recurrence of the decision day for the court. The degree of Encouragement pro- fessed by various authorities in the steel trade is calculated to arouse some cau- ton among professional spectators who take these statements as confirmatory or information on which stock market &C., tion has already been taken. Due notice was taken of the decision of the trunk line railroads to reduce the rate on grain for export to meet the competition offered by the Canadian lines.
 The strength of New York Central was ascribed in part to this news. The re- newal of the rate cutting in the contest over the differential rate between Boston and southern trunk line terminals was not considered so satisfactory. Advices from the copper trade were of more cheerful import, sales for two days past being greater, according to published claims, than since the early part of the month. Amalgamated Copper, however, was one of the heavy features of the market. Reading also was a drag on the attempt to lift prices, and the drop in the~ price of that stock directed attention to the re- assembling of the conference over anthra- cite miners wages during the day. The purpose to await the decision of the Hep

STRENGTH SHOWN IN WHEAT MARKET Trade Is Not Active But Prices
 Are Very Firm CROP DAMAGE REPORTED Corn Is Firm All Day Owing to Active Bidding By Shorts and Closes
 Hisher-oats and Prov-
 sions Close Firm.
C31P DAMAGE REPORTED

Chicago, March 23.-Reviva1 of war talk concerning the Balkan situation and an improved export demand caused strength in the wheat market here today prices at the close being up 9s@24c to 7sa1e com pared with yesterdays final quotations. Corn, oats and provisions closed firm.
 Trade in the wheat pit was not espe- cially active. but the market was firm throughout the entire session, and prices moved over a range of nearly 1 cent Several mild spurts occurred during the day on covering by shorts, and at the close prices were almost at the top notch. One of these bursts of strength followed the making public of the refusal of Aus tria-Hungary to accept Servia's note as formulated by the British foreign secre- tary, while a report claiming that forty boat loads of wheat had been worked" for export at Duluth and Winnipeg, was responsible for another bulge later in the day Strength of the wheat markets at Liverpool and Budapest and crop dam age reports from Missouri and Nebraska also augmented bullish sentiment.
 During the day May ranged between s1.151s and $l.16as, while July sold between $1.027s and s1o3s4.' The market closed strong, with May at $1.161sq1.1sA. anu July at $1.03Ss.
 Notwithstanding liberal receipts and a poor demand for the cash grain by ship pers and exporters, The corn market was firm all day, owing to active bidding by shorts. The market closed firm at net gains of 1l to ssc compared with the pre- vious close, May being at 66as@6612c and July at 651aQ655sc.
 Oats were firm on buying of the May delivery by cash interests. At the close, prices were up 1s@14c to 1sc, May being at 541ac and July at 4Sssc.
 Provisions were firm all day, owing to a general demand based on a 15-cent ad- vance in the price of live hogs. At the close prices were 5Qf12a121sc above yes- terday's final quotations.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter.

New York, March 3.-(Special )-Liver- pool was rather better than due this morning, and our market made steadier appearance the opening, though busi- ness was on very moderate scale. Buy ing orders from the arbitrage short in terest in May steadied prices, which slowly advanced under this influence, the rest of the market sympathizing with the strength in the near position, the market closing at the best prices of the day. Outside of this demand for May the mar ket presented little feature, no new buy ing of consequence appearing The weather has again cleared in the eastern belt, which removes one of the bullish features. Toward the close. rumors were current of short time in Manchester on account of the slack trade conditions, but as the demand for the near position con- tinued, these rumors had but little effect. An advance of some three points is eX- peeted in Liverpool tomorrow.
