COTTON WENT BOOMING.
Makes Sensational Leap of Thirty.
Six Points Net.

There was a sensational jump of
price in August cotton in New York
on Saturday as result Of covering
by some of the remaining shorts and
new high record was made for the
season as August sold at 1890 or Sc
points above the closing of Friday
night and 50 points above the low
price made Friday morning when no
tices of delivery were circulated.
The bulls sold little cotton OH
the advance and there was a little
selling by spot people, probably a
few bales, but after decline from
the early price, it again rose rapidly
showing control by bull leaders and
closed at 1856 bid.
The market opened firm at advance
of So points on August and to OH
other months, which were Influenced
by the sensational strength of the
spot position, better cables than eX-
pected and continued drought IN the
Southwest.
AS has been the case on recent bull
ges, however, the advance was not
accompanied by any broadening OF
outside demand and when the up
ward movement in August was check
ed prices gradually worked back to
T. shade under the closing figures of
Friday under realizing reports OF
improved condition in Alabama and
Georgia.
Estimates as to the amount of
short interest remaining in August
vary from a few thousand bales up
to about $4,000 and after the close
Saturday all sorts OF predictions
were heard as to the price likely to
be reached for that delivery before
trading in that position is over at
noon next Wednesday.

HELPED THE TRUST
WHAT A DEMOCRAT, SAYS ABOUT
Duty on LUMBER. !
Says 1t Robs the People of Many
Millions of Dollars and Returns
Them Very Little.
Them Very Little.

To the Editor of The State:
AS the Denver platform declared
for lumber to go on the free list
really should any Democrat back the
party platform? If the Democrats lose
the next house or the next president
it will be due largely to the votes
cast for protection on different ar
ticles by Democratic senator's and
representatives. A vote for one cent
or one dollar duty on lumber is in
dorsing the Republican policy of pro-
lection and the Republicans will use
it with deadly effect in close States
and districts.
How any Democrat who pledges
himself to abide by the platform of
the party can back wherever he sees
fit is beyond my comprehension. For
thirty years the Democracy has con-
,, tended for free lumber. The Mills
bill more than 20 years ago contain
ed a provision for free trade in lum-
Der. The Wilson act contained free
lumber clause in 1894. The Payne
bill reduced the tariff from 81 to
81 per thousand.
Senator Aldrich and his band OF
robbers restored the duty to Sl.oO
per thousand. This rate was reduc-
ed in conference to s1.25 on rough
lumber. In addition to that there
will be a maximum duty Of 20 per
cent. ad valorem added. So instead
of the people not feeling this burden
some tax it only puts into the treas
ury about two million dollars at a
cost of s12O,OOO,OO0 to the Ameri;-
can people.
More than 10 per cent. Of the tim
Der in the South is owned by non
resident corporations and stockhol-
ders. Three-fourths of the timber
supply Of our country is on the Pa
cific coast and we must In few
short years go there for our supply
and only to face the lumber monopol-
les there. If we forego the $4,000
900 of revenue we relieve the tax bur-
dened people of more than s11S,-
100000.
Lumber, like salt, is a prime nee
essity of life and should be on the
free list. Instead of passing New
England scheme to pay for their old
worn out lands known as the APP
palachain park bill. let the duty be
be taken off Of lumber and then we
will be able to obtain this necessity
free of duty and much cheaper to
the consumer from Canada, British
Columbia and Mexico.
If the removal of the tax voted on
lumber will net reduce the price then
the 1926 tax does not benefit the
consumer. Then why impose the
tax? Why were the lumber lords
moving Heaven and earth for this
tax?' They cared nothing about the
little s2,OOO,OO0 revenue, but were
looking after that s12O,OOO,0O0 for
their own pockets, which the Aldrich
tariff gives them. Democrat.

WILL BE fine SHOW

ERN RAILWAY.
He Discusses the Appalachian Expo
sition Which Will Be Held et
Knoxville, Tenn.

1T will be a great show" says AS
sistant General Passenger Agent J..
L. Meek, of the Southern Railway,
at Atlanta, who had just returned
from Knoxville where he attended a
meeting of 80 officials and represen-
tatives of the passenger department
of the Southern who inspected the
buildings and grounds for the Appa-
lachian exposition to be held in the
east Tennessee city, September -
! to October 12, and studied all condi-
tions looking to the handling Of tho
large crowds which are expected TO
attend.
Every arrangement has been
made for one of the best expositions
the south has ever had" said MI.
Meek. There will be something do
ing to interest, amuse, and instruct
every visitor. The show will he a
great advertisement for this section
as thousands will come from Lhe
north and west to see the displays of
southern products and the people of
the south will learn much of interest
concerning their own section.
1.-THE live stock building will be of
particular interest as will be those
devoted to forestry, woman's work,
the products Of Knox county, the
exhibits to be made by negroes and
the main building, which will house
the general displays. The poultry
show will be one of the best ever
seen. For the races the first week
$4,000 in prizes has been offered,
which ensures fine sport. The Wright
brothers in feats Of aviation will be
the attraction for the second, the
fall of Pompei for the third and a
special feature to be secured for the
fourth. Payne's famous fireworks
displays will be given each week,
while Webber and Brooks magnifi-
cent band has been engaged for the
entire period.
g The Appalachian is going to set
a splendid mark in completeness
when the show opens and there will
be no delay about that. The build
ings are all completed and exhibits
are now being put in place. Every
thing will be ready by the morning
Of September IL, when the big gates
will swing open. The genius Of w.
J. Oliver, the president of the ex-
position company, is apparent in ev-
erything accomplished, but he had
the assistance of splendid set Of
directors and officials and the loyal
support of Knoxville and the sur
rounding territory. We are expect
ing to handle record breaking crowds
to Knoxville and are arranging a
special train service which we feel
sure will meet every demand"

GUNS TURNED ON TAFT
LA FOLLETTE DIRECTS FIRE AT
THE PRESIDENT.
Rig Bills Attempts at Reconciliation
With the Insurgents Seem 10 Ee
of No Avail.

President Taft cuddling up to tie
insurgent Republicans has met with
a rathe.. cold reception a. the hands
Of the LaFollette hosts, who are
readers Of LaF'ollette's weekly. Sa.-
urday's Issue of that magazine con-
tains a scathing attack on the pres
ident in its editorial columns
After referring to the fact that
the president is reported to be work
ing on letter to be published in
the Republican campaign textbook,
to counteract the influence OF the
Winono speech, which riled the in
surgents, the article continues:
III is stated that there is 10 de-
sire on his part to read any person
out of the party. What has hap
pened since the president left Wash
ington fer Beverly? At that time
Republican senators and representa-
tives were denounced as pirates at
the White House because they had
voted against the tariff revision up
ward, and refused to swallow q bad
railway bill on the recommendation
of the president that it was good.
1T is scarcely four months since
Mr.. Taft dispatched W'ickersham TO
Chicago to deliver a speech reading
the progressives out of the party
That speech was approved by MIR.
Taft.
Not later than June, James
Schoolcraft Sherman, vice president
by grace Of Cannon, journeyed to
Milwaukee to address Tory assem-
! blage convened for the sole purpose
of perfecting an organization to de-
feat the progressive Wisconsin sena-
tor and representatives. Vice Presl-
dent Sherman stated that he was
there at President Taft's request.
Mr.. Taft's interest was still further
shown by his sending a telegram OF
congratulation which was read at the
| meeting.
I'VE have not complained that the
president and the vice president art
taking part in the campaign against
| progressive Republicans. We have
made no protest against the hot
house politics played by the admins
tration with federal patronage since
! the vote on the tariff bill. l.l.,s.,.-. 4. -
''LaFollette does protest against
the dishonesty and cowardice back
of sucn dispatches as the one above
quoted from Beverly. Let the truth
be plainly stated. Let the president
stand out in the open. The admins
tration has presumed to read Re-
publicans out of the party for vot-
ing their honest convictions on legis-
lation. The president is directly TAX
ing part in State fights involving the
election of Republican senators and
representatives.
"These are facts"
There doesn't seem to be much
chance for harmony between factions
that get as wide apart as the La
Toilette followers and the Taft fol-
| lowers seem to be.

COTTON SOARING
August Contracts Reached Highest Fig
ure Since Civil War.
MARKET PUNCTUATION

Highest Figure Reached Was Twenty
Cents, 5000 a. Bale Gain Over
Saturday.-Bulls Willing to Sell
at that Figure and Market Drops
Back to Eighteen and Half.
Sensational as the fluctuati-n ms in
the cotton market have been pre-
viously during the progress OF the
bull campaign, which started last
winter, they faded into insignificance
when compared with the big jump
in the price Of August contracts Mon
day morning. Closing Saturday at
1852, after having sold at f6.07 on
Friday morning, the first sale of Aug
ust that morning was at 1855 and
inside of half an hour the shorts.were
trying to buy at 19 cents a pound, or
21S points $1,000 per bale over Sat-
urday's close and at the highest fig
ure reached since the Civil war.
There were frequently IS and SO
points between sales and only five
transactions occurred on the advance
from 1S to 10 cents, while shortly
after that the price was forced up
to 20 cents per pound. nearly SIG
per bale above the closing figure Of
Saturday, and 245 points above the
highest price reached by any con-
tract during the famous bull season
of 10000. At this price w. II.
Brown, the floor leader of the bull
party offered to sell 100000 bales
August. This relieved the strain
under which the market had been
laboring all the morning and at the
same time seemed to set c limit to
the advance. Several Of the big
local spot people sold when they
found that the bulls were willing to
give the shorts at 20 cents a pound
and the price dropped back to 1920
almost as rapidly as it had advanced
earlier in the day.
