kneeders and cutters room at the
American Chicle Co.'s plant, driven
to desperation by the tantalizing ma

The girls have been getting SO per
day. They want $125, the wages paid
the wrappers of chewing gum. TIE
trouble brewed when they reporte for
work today.
The work room was like bake

though.
May Calver threw off her apron
when the music came floating through
the window. Gee, girls" she said
"if the superintendent does not raise
us, let's go on a strike"

When the demand was taken to the
superintendent he asked for twenty
four hours to consider. The girls

to quit.
The strikers proceeded to the pa

Is SHY UPON
STOCK OF COTTON
Few Bales in Warehouses
Here Now.

Americus warehouses have very few
bales old cotton to offer the trade
that is ransacking Southern town for
cotton to tender on contracts. There
are probably less than fifty bales, all
together, of last years crop still hell
in Americus, though as a rule several
hundred bales are generally carried
through the summer. The demand
for o!d cotton as a tender on con-
tracts has put the price away up in
the teens, and any farmer who had
held his bales would be aboard the
gravy train. There will be ex-
ceedingly few August bales in Ameri-
Gus this season as the result of gen.
orally poor and late crops in this Sec
ton, although as rule from 5000 to
$500 bales new cotton are marketed
here from August 15 to September 1st

Workers Jubilant.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

IL
Atlanta, Ga, July Campaign
Manager Ed Mattox this morning re-
iterated his entire satisfaction with the
situation throughout the state and his
entire confidence in Gov. Browns re-
nomination. He said the mornings
mail was encouraging, and anticipat-
ed a successful week for the Brown
forces throughout the state.
The campaign is warming up Slight
ly in the rural districts, and this is as
the Brown forces would have it. Apa-
thetic conditions are not entirely 10
their liking.
Ccncerning Gov. Browns message,
relative to the Durham mine incidenr,
no information was given out at the
headquarters.
The governors office gave out for
publication an anonymous letter, writ
ten by an Atlanta man, endorsing his
action in sending troops to Durham.
This letter given out by the governor
stated that the writer had twice voted
for Hoke Smith for governor, but
would this time support the governor
because of his firm stand.
The writer condemned the effore ID
''set labor unions against the governor"
for doing his duty, and said this had
caused him to change from Smith t.
Brown.
Former Governor Smith has begun
the preparation of the speech he viii
deliver at Waycross Friday in discuss
ing his candidacy and the political is
sues of the day. He hopes to have the
copy ready in time so that the press
of the state, or at least the daily pa-
pers, may publish it in full.

Totals ........ "a, ,742 900 26,277 900
The table indicates that each stats
showed an increase over 1909 in 1910.
The condition of this years crop as re-
ported by the department, shows the
states of the South leading the coun-
try, Mississippi being first, Alabama
second and Georgia THIRD.
This great increase in the acreage
deuoted to corn is considered one of
the most hopeful signs in the South
today. In letter to the directors of
the Southern Railway, President Fin
ley called particular attention to these
figures and said:
THE increase in the acreage of corn,
accompanied as it is by quite general
adoption of improved cultural meth
ods, is one of the most encouraging
features of Southern agricultural
progress. 1t is one of the results OF
a general movement throughout the
South in the direction of diversified
agriculture-a movement which we are
endeavoring to encourage and assist
as far as we can properly do So"
AS the farmers of the South increase
their yield of corn, they will save
enormous sums which they have been
spending in the West for food prod
ucts and will consequently themselves
realize more from cotton and other
market crops. Economic authorities
agree in declaring the American corn
crop the basis of the country's pros
perity, since in such large measure
the production of other crops as we'll
as the pork supply depends upon it
and greater yield of corn in the
South consequently means a greater
share of prosperity for this section.

Hamon was placed on the stand in

made the direct charge that Congress
man Creager of Oklahoma made what
he considered a direct request of j.
F. McMurray for thousand dollars.
Hamon says the transaction took
place in Washington last June. He
said McMurray did not give Creager
the money, saying to Hamon that he
could not afford to give the legislators
money. According to Hamon, Creager
told McMurray that he needed a
thousand dollars for his campaign ex-
penses.
Creager, on the stand, admitted
McMurray but denied asking
him for money. He said they talked
politics. Creager emphatically denied
that he was in any kind of deal with
Gore respecting the present investi->
cation.
