BROWN SAYS THAT HE WILL
STAY IN GOVERNORS RACE
Declares That He Will Not
Withdraw Although Hoke
Smith Should Quit

The first direct question If he would
withdraw from the gubernatorial race
should ex-Gov. Hoke Smith first consent
to withdraw, came to Governor Brown
yesterday from J. c. Williams, editor of
the Greensboro Herald-Journal.
The governor promptly replied by wire
that he would not. His telegram to Edi-
tor williams was as Follows:
July 2, 1910.
Hon. ]. c. Williams, Greensboro, Ga.
II do not deem that any two or three
men have the power or the right to give
direction to the mass of the citizens of
this state with reference to the COVER
norship. When on June announced
my candidacy for reelection, 1 felt 1t
my duty to do so. That declaration was
meant by me, and was made without re-
gard to, and in no sense dependent on,
the actions of other candidates. De-
spite my admiration and great respect
for Judge Hart, I have no right to with
draw that declaration now. Principles
are involved which mean more to Geor-
gia than the candidacy of any individual
cannot and shall not break faith or
trifle with the people.

CURTA|LMENT PLANNED
BY MANY COTTON MILLS

SPARTANBURG, s. c.. July 1.-The
great curtailment movement among the
mills of the Piedmont section begins to-
day. Mills in North Carolina, South Car
DINA and Georgia will close down un-
til the morning of the 18th. Out of S.OOO.-
900 spindles 2750,0OO have signifed
that they would join in the
curtailment, which will include at least
a month in all during the summer.
The movement will mean a cutting Off
of from 1,000, 900 to 100000 pieces Of cloth,
or / 18th Of the output.
Mr. Aug. w. Smith, president of the
Woodruff mills, when asked last night
about the closing down of the mills,
said:
There is a loss in every pound of
cloth we are putting out and we HAYS
to curtail to cover in part this loss, and
create a demand for our goods. 1 should
say the output will be cut down 1-12th
by the curtailment, which will be done
this summer, and which will amount In
ali to about four weeks time"
Mr. John A. Law, president of the
Saxon mills, said:
There will be the largest curtailment
among the cotton mills of Spartanburg
county ever known. The price of man
ufactLred goods is out OF proportion with
the price Of cotton. A great many of
the mills will close down on the LIST Of
July and others on the 18th"

CEREALS ARE NERVOUS.
PRICES OF COTTON WEAK
Commodity Prices, and Partic-
uIarIy Cereal Quotations,
Have Weakened as a Whole

Cereal markets, but particularly wheat,
says Bradstreet's, have been nervous and
irregular with alternating strength and
weakness in the premier cereal, but with
corn and oats parting company with
wheat because OF weather reports diff
ferently affecting the various grains.
Wheat was strong early in the week and
reached the highest levels of the season
on Tuesday on reports OF draught dam
age in the northwest. At the high level
on that day, July and September wheat
were 10 to u cents above the low level
Of June. On Wednesday and Thurs
day reports OF rains caused selling un-
der which all of the advance early in
the week was lost. Good reports were
received from the winter wheat crop.
Texas and Oklahoma reports were of rec
ord yields. and the Kansas state crop re-
port on Thursday indicated o. 600 BUSH
els. Shows report on Thursday showed
a condition Of 81, as against 80 for spring
wheat on June l. and was construed to
indichate only about COO, 600 900 bushels to-
tai crop. Net price changes were unim-
portant Corn was favored by the hot,
dry weather favoring clean cultivation
and dropped 1 to 2 cents. as did also
oats. which tended to move with corn.
IL has been a narrow market for cot
old crop months neglected and inclined
TO sell of ON fairly good crop reports and
expectations Of bearish report on Fri
day. Curtailment talk did not tend to
stimulate prices. Toward the middle of
the week the desire to collect profits on
the declines of 10 to 20 points caused some
buying and a recovery of all the early
loss. The unofficial crop reports on that
day generally showed a gain In condi-
ton during June of IL to points and
a gain of to 6 points over a year ago,
but the market was stronger and 10 to
25 points higher, the latter on July on
reports of dry weather in Texas and OF
too much moisture east of the Mississippi
river. On Friday cotton advanced on
the government report showing a de-
cline in June, and the close is Is points
higher for the July future, u points high
er for October and 80 points higher for
spots.
Demand for refined sugar has not been
brisk, but a reduction Of 10 points in price
has brought out a heavy demand. Con-
sumption this year shows less than nor
NAL increase, though sugar is not one
Of the products that has been greatly
marked up in price OF recent years.

RESISTANT COTTON SEED
BATTLE TO BLACK ROOT
State EntomoIogiSt PerfectS
Variety Which Farmers Say
Is All to the Good

State Entomologist E. L. Worsham is
already receiving reports from various
sections of south Georgia of the reap
pearance of the black root In cotton,
which, during the past few years. has
cost the cotton growers of Georgia mil
lions of dollars. He has also been ad-
vised by those planters fortunate enough
to secure a small quantity Of the resist
emit variety of cotton seed which the de-
partment of entomology has perfected to
withstand the black root, that in no in
stance has the black root attacked the
plants grown from the resistent variety
of seed
The department OF agriculture Is elated
with the splendid success with which the
planting OF the reslstent variety Of seed
has met DIR. Worsham plans to secure
as many bushels of the resistent variety
Of seed as possible, which will be dis
tributed next year in those sections
which are suffering most from the black
root. DR.. Worsham states that the
black root is one of the worst diseases
which attacks cotton, and that its dam
age runs up annually into the thousands.
Any injury to the growing cotton crop
will be read with alarm, for the crop has
already had several backsets on account
of the cold weather, rain, etc.
In a very few weeks now the cotton
oil mills OF the state will open up for
their fall crush, for the demand for cot
teon seed meal as a cattle feed and cot
ton seed oil as an edible product is In
creasing rapidly. The planters OF the
south have awakened to the full value
OF the cotton seed and it's by-products
and are exerting every effort to have
them in the best possible condition when
presented at the cotton oil mills for
crushing.

ment also asserts that no one need think
that there is any hope Of uniting Repnb-
lican factions and that the Republican
party is seriously divided and must re-
main 80 until after the November cleo

HOME COUNTY OF HART
GIVES CORDIAL WELCOME
Two Hundred and Fifty People
Hear Attorney General Give
Reasons for Candidacy
(rrOm q staff corrsspondsnt.)

Especial Dispatch to The Journal
GREENSBORO, Ga, July 1.-Two
hundred and fifty people. mostly voters
of Greene county, today heard Atty.
Gen. John c. Hart discuss his candidacy
for governor. and tell of the reasons
actuating him to enter the gubernato-
rial contest. The speech was an elab-
grafton of Judge Harris original an
nouncement in which he declared him
SELF a candidate in the interest Of peace
and tranquility In Georgia. He did not
intimate any willingness or thought OF
his part of retiring and those who
heard the speech are now confident that
he is in the race to stay.
OVERCOME BY HEAT.
At the conclusion of his address Judge
Hart was almost overcome by the heat
and sank back in his chair. A physi-
clan was hastily called from the crowd
te-room.
He recovered in a few minutes aud
was able to leave for his hotel.
GIVEN CLOSE ATTENTION.
The speech commanded the close at
tention of it's hearers and at times
Judge Harris statements were received
with applause. He made no EFFORT at
oratory, however, and the address was
more like an earnest talk than a cam
paign speech.
Col. F. B. Ship, a prominent attor-
ney, called the gathering to order and
provoked applause by stating that he
had been requested not to Introduce
Judge Hart, who needed no introduction
to the people among whom he has lived
so happidly for Sc years.
The attorney general proceeded imme-
diately to a discussion of his candidacy.
He was interrupted by no sound until he
declared that he could not play the part
OF a coward and remain silent when he
saw an opportunity to serve the state by
stepping into the breach and affording
the people an opportunity to have poll
tical peace. This declaration was re-
ceived with applause.
