Commodity price changes this week

abroad and disposition to continue to

There are signs of the winter wheat

years, rejecting less than usual OF

ers from Fulton county and from many
other counties of Georgia shook hands
with Hoke Smith from II to II: 80 O'Clock
this morning at headquarters.
One OF the leading farmers of spalding
county says that in his district alone he
has changed 81 voters from Brown to
Smith. His argument is a convincing one;
that Hoke Smith has greatly contributed
to the present prosperity in Georgia by
the abolition of the convict lease system,
which he secured in the extra session of
the legislature, which he called for this
purpose; that he took 5000 convicts out
of industrial employment, whose places
had to be taken by 5000 free laborers
thus giving employment to them, and sup
port for 10000 people dependent upon the
5000, making 5000 in all; that in addition
to the building of good roads throughout
Georgia, the supplies for these 5000 con-
victs have been purchased from the farm
ers in the counties where the camps are
located, whereas the former convict les
sees sent out of the state for these sup
plies. buying them in carload lots. He
argues, furthermore. that Governor
Brown has shown his disregard of equal
justice to the poor man by advocating the
law which taxes the dog in the farmers
back yard and refusing to advocate the
income tax amendment, which would
make the rich man pay his proportion
ate part of the taxes. And he says that
the farmers are universally opposed to
saddling a bonded debt on the state to
meet the current expenses of the govern
ment
MCORD'S STATEMENT.
Chairman H. Y. McCord issues the fol-
lowing statement:
THE claim Of Mr.. ]. r. Smith that they
have enrolled 6,901 registered voters of
Fulton county in the Fulton County
Brown club is as preposterous as the
claim that Governor Brown will carry l26
counties in Georgia, and l could not put
the matter any stronger. We have evil
dence that voters from Clayton county
and Henry county, in addition to many
voters from Fulton county, who are
strongly for Hoke Smith, have been en-
rolled in the Fulton County Joe Brown
club. Fulton county is going for Hoke
Smith and so is Georgia, by a big ma
jority. l know what 1 am talking about
and / ask our friends throughout the
state to pay no attention to these abb
surd claims q"

THOMSON, Ca, Aug 6.-At the close of

of the points at issue between himself

Thomas w. Hardwick, of the Tenth dis

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 1, 1910.
Congressman William M. Howard, Lex
ington, Ga.
my Dear Mr.. Howard: did not get
home until a few days ago. 1 found a
letter from a friend who was with me
in Chicago on a certain occasion in the
summer of 1900. AS 1 remember, myself
and one or two other representative citi-
zens of South Dakota, all Republicans,
at the instance of Senator Hanna, met the
gentleman from your state, together with
two other distinguished Populists.
Their purpose was to see If for a f1nan-
cial consideration an arrangement could
not be made by which they would put a
middle-of-the-road ticket in our state.
II cannot recall how much 1t was to
cost, but 1 do know that 1t made an i'm
preston upon me and my associates that
caused us to feel that it was a contempti-
BILE proposition and we refused to enter
tain 1t.
You are safe in saying that there
were overtures made and that Mr.. Wat
son was In Chicago at the time and was
there for the purpose Of negotiations;
that he undoubtedly did have an arrange
ment with Senator Hanna by which he

WATSON REVIEWS
DO-NOTH|NG CHARGE
AGAINST HARDW|CK
Also ProcIaims That He viii
Withdraw Eve Or Evans
from Congressional Race on
Or About August Is
CROWD NOT AS LARGE
AS ON FORMER DATE
Especial Dispatch to The Journal)

AUGUSTA, Ca, Aug. 6.-FTom the same
platform from which Mr.. A. w. Evans
and Mr. o. r. Eve declared vehemently
and emphatically, each for himself, that
they were in the race for congress to the
finish, Mr.. Watson proclaimed today
that on or about August Is. he would
withdraw one OF them from the race.
He did not make this statement in so
many words, but that was the import
of his words so plainly intimated that
no one who heard it failed to understand
1t.
Another feature of his speech was the
proposition dramatically made to pay
in to the Confederate veterans Of the
district the sum of $4,000 in annual pay
ments of $1,000 each. IL the committee
he had suggested should go to Macon
and after a full investigation fail to
substantiate the charges which he had
made in regard to Hardwick's conduct
in that city.
CROWD GATHERED SLOWLY.
If Mr.. Watson was disappointed in the
size OF the crowd which his appeal to
come and stand by him ito the death"
had drawn, he gave no intimation of 1t.
The crowd was slow in assembling. At
o'clock the hour set by Mr.. Watson
for assembling, only a few persons
were in the court house yard.
minutes before IL o'clock, an assemblage
about one-half the size OF that which
had responded to his first call, greeted
his appearance with cheers.
A considerable part of his address was
devoted to denunciation Of Hardwick.
In this, however, less vindictive ex-
pressions were used than In the former
occasions, and in addition to a rehash
Of the old charges against Mr.. Hard
wicks personal character, his record in
congress was attacked in the effort to
show him up as a ''do-nothing'' con-
gresham.
Mr.. Watson said that the ideal con-
gresham would have objected when
President Roosevelt gave $4,000 to the
italian earthquake sufferers; that he
would have objected to a big black negro
being retained for Is years IN a high
office in Atlanta, that he would have
protested against the president and the
secretary of the navy using three of our
naval vessels for pleasure yachts, that
he would have tried to pass a bill for
the establishment of a parcels post pro-
tested against the passage of the Dick
bill, and would have been fighting to
restore our currency system.
These constitute official charges against
Mr.. Hardwick upon which Mr.. Watson
based his charge of "do-nothingism."
DENOUNCES COMMITTEE
Then he denounced the action OF the
executive committee for reaffirming rule
nine by a larger vote than II was passed
originally by. Right here a voice called
out, What are you going to do about
1t now?" Just wait" was the reply,

TAXABLE
PROPERTY To SHOW
S40,6OO,OOO GAIN
Comptroller General Wright
Bases Estimate on Returns
of III Counties Showing
$24, 900, 900 Increase
CLARKE CLOSE SECOND
BROOKS LEADS WITH

Comptroller General Wright on Mon
day gave II as his estimate that the
tax returns from Georgia counties, when
complete, would show a total gain of at
least SAC, 900 for the year.
Up to date Ill counties have been
heard from, leaving 36 yet to be report
ed. The Ill counties show a gain in
values OF s24,6500. 900.
In the counties were not included
the returns of Fulton, Chatham and
Richmond which, with the others, Cen
eraI Wright considered. would easily
swell the total increase to 100000. -
Only two counties showed a DECREASE.
One was Clay county, in southwest
Georgia, and Lumpkin county, in north
east Georgia. None OF the returns in
clude the property OF public utility
corporations.
For soma reason, General Wright
said. the big counties were not showing
as large an increase, in proportion to
population, as the smaller ones.
Brooks county, for instance, he said.
a small county, showed the largest pro-
portion OF gain. This county is one OF
the most progressive in the state.
Among its Industries is, the export OF
meat to other states.
Clark county came next with the
largest increase. These two counties
showed almost y1,000,OO0 apiece in in
creased taxable property valuations
AS property is returned for state
taxation at approximately half its val
uation, the gain expected of $4,000
900 in the value OF taxable property
would represent a gain in the full val
ue of property of something like $780,
100000 in the short space OF one year.
