Mrs. John M. Bryan Resigns
Following Alleged Differ
enCeS in Chapter
Especial Dispatcb 70 m

Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga, Oct. H.-Mrs. John
M. Bryan, the regent of the Lachlan
Mcintosh chapter, Daughters of the Rev
olution, has rendered her resignation.
and It will be considered at a meeting
to be held soon. The resignation fol-
lows what is reported to have been a
most interesting meeting of the chap
ter few days ago at which the ques-
ton of indorsing some one for one of
the national officers of the organization
came up.
There were marked differences between
Mrs. Bryan and other members of the
chapter upon the question of indorsing
some one for the place. Many of the
members wished to indorse Mrs. s. B. C.
Morgan, a SavAnnahian, and who is a
member of another chapter Of the socie-
ty In Savannah.
The meeting seems to have ended in a
somewhat ELECTROMAGNETIC manner,
and 1t has been discussed a good deal
since. The meeting to consider the resig-
nation of the regent will probably be
held very soon and it is expected there
will be a meeting this afternoon for
the possible purpose of reconsidering
what was done at the former meeting.

MAJORITY OF COTTON
MARKETED IN TR0UP

LAGRANGE, Ga. oct. 21.-Apparent-
~ the food tide in cotton has been
reachd so far as Troup county is con-
cerned, and the ebb is fast setting in.
Most of the important obligations of the
farmers have been settled and a deter
mined effort to hold the balance of the
cotton produced has been manifest
throughout the county. While mucR
cotton has been placed in the warehouses
during the past week, very little of il
has been sold.
1t is now estimated that there is less
than 25 per cent Of the crop still in the
field. The marketing of corn and other
farm products has set in and COMPARE
lively high prices are being paid for
these staples, which has lent encour
agement to the farmers who during the
year failed to give over their entire en-
ergies TO cotton raising.
