based on the receipts here of SO2 bales
of new cotton and the rumor that
much new cotton would be rendered
against August contracts. Late in the
morning session, shorts showed no
great confidence and a little buying
for the long account put prices up.
At noon the market was to 6 points

New York August THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of and y points on covering and a
renewal of bull support. The market
was nervous and unsettled with many
traders apprehensive of a renewal on
bull support. The feeling appeared to
be that there was still a large short
interest outstanding and there was
some pretty good buying during the
early trading on which prices worked
up to a net advance of 16 and II
points on the new crop months. The
South continued a moderate seller
here. After the advance to HAP for
October fluctuations were irregular.
Bull clique brokers were heavy buy
ers in the first hour There were
periods of hesitation and irregularity,
but the advance continued until Oc-
tober and December contracts sold at
11.49, and new crop months general!y
to a net gain of from 20 to "a points.

Big fight IS ASSURED
over TIPPlNS BILL
OnIV One Week More of the
Legislature

Atlanta, August with but eight
working days remaining of the pres
emit session, the legislature is facing
the most important liquor fight since
the adoption of statewide prohibition
in 1907. Night sessions will be adop-
ted early in the week and committees
practically will suspend in order to
attend to the mass business already
favorably reported on.
Supporters of the Tippins anti-near-
beer measure are confident that 5he
bill will reach it's final hearing to-
morrow, and it is expected that Bit
ter fight will follow. The bill pro-
hibits the handling Of any beverage
containing more than one-half of l
per cent of alcohol.
The anti-prohibitionists are prepar-
ing to throw their forces to the sup
port of the bill of Representative Hall
of Bib, providing for licensed beer
saloons and package houses" The
temperance forces claim this is only
the first step toward throwing the
state wide open again, and will resist
it to the last ditch.
1t is generally admitted that if the
be passed by the house, but only after
limited liquor system and the ref
erence of the issue to the people have
been voted down.

OFFICER LEFT TO Die
BY GANG OF THIEVES
Bound to a Bed and Then
Deserted

Jacksonville, Fla, August ITO be
drugged and bound, a captive on a
bed in the upper story of lonely
house near Ortega, suburb, was the
experience of detective of the Unit
ed States Secret Srvice, according 20
story that has just come to light.
The detective, Captain w. M. Morris,
was sent here from Atlanta several
weeks ago on the trail of a band Of
counterfeiters.
But for the timely arrival of assist
ance, Morris doubtless would have
been filled. He came here June 2S ~

We're supposed to be passing counter
felt money, manufactured by gang
operating in the North. His wife ac-
companied him.
Captain Morris struck the trial and
followed it, leaving his wife at the
Seminole Hotel. When he failed to re-
turn, Mrs. Morris notified another Of
ficer A search was started and in
vestigation showed that Captain Nor
ris and several other men had gone
to Ortega in an automobile. The res
cuers followed the trial and came 70

pected the missing man had been TAX

Asking for a glass of water one ot
the rescuers engaged the attention OF
one of the inmates. Another man
crept upstairs and found Morris drug
cd and lynug on bed. 4 sign was
given to the rescuer below and the
man who brought him the water was
arrested This man subsequently lost
his nerve and confessed to his part in
the counterfeiting.
This led to the arrest of six or seven
other members of the gang, and they
were quietly taken out of the city and
thence to Atltnta.

Oppression

Now just watch the autOcrats
Note what they wrought to-day
By banning out prOgressiveness
No matter what it paws;
Keeping from the masses
An honest chance to live:
Running things just as they please
And only pittance give.
Keeping down the progressive man.
And what do they care for him
Who has not the ability
To humor their every within.
And when he cannot please them
They take HIM to the laws,
And do Che trick before the Judge
That jugle with the flaws.
And as we permu lgate the ban
1t is very plainly shown
That an upright, Just and honest ma,
Cannot use his own.
Now view 1t in any light YOU will.

How the masses are to live
Without some enterprise.

y Tribute

My. dear Mr.. Editor
The Salhe
Thompkins Chapter t. ID. G. has
Entrusted me with a commission
which | find trif1l4 too much
too much for my ability, viz: to
write for publica ton in your
worthy paper, an article express
ing the Chapters appreciation OF
its President, Mrs, F. L. Jordan,
and its sorrow at loseing her
Our regret at the loss of presi-
dent is scarcely to be expressed
IN words. and while Mrs. Jordan
has rendered an informal resigna-
ton the Chapter will not officially
accept it, hoping to retain her as
its head even tho she be away.
Mrs. Jordan was not only the
organizer of our Chapter but she
has been our preceptO. n d
mother as we'll; and altho her
chief interest has been to secure
the Southern Crosses of Honor
tor the Confederate Veterans in
the County. she has entered into
the work of raising money for the
monument. and into all other in
terests Of the Chapter with as
much zeal as If she had been a
natIv" OF our County. She has
proven throughout that patron
ism and loyalty to the Lost Cause.
and not vain glory and self-seek-
ing, have been the animus OF her
labors with us
All this, with her GRACEFUL per
sonallty, her tact and her practi-
cal good sense has won for her
the undving fealty and love of her
Chapter. The loss of her to the
Chapter is inestimable, and while
we realize that without her
strength to lean upon we are as
tottering babes". we know that
the highest honor we may do her
is to strive to perpetrate the
high ideals and standards which
she has inaugurated.

THURSDAY. May 10 1911

TUESDAY was registration day
and a number of men took advan-
tage OF the books being open to
register. This does not mean
however that you can not if
eligible register any other time.
As a matter of taCt the books will
be open until within thirty days
ct the general election. We
write this IN order that those who
neglected to register on Tuesday
and who yet desire to vote may
know that if they have paid their
poll tax they may still qualify
themselves to vote.
we believe it TO be both ex-
pedient and necessary hat a
meeting OF the County Democra-
tic Committee should be called in
the near future. Candidates for
the different offices are getting
more numerous and as yet it is
not known whether a primary
will be held for the election of
county officers, or that they will
be nominated on the date Of the
Senatorial Primary, Sept. 7 or
that no Urinary at all will be
held. The Committee should
meet end decide what course will
be pursued in order that the can
dldates NAV govern themselves
accordingly,
The Journal believes that one
primary should be made to do for
all and that candidates for county
offices Including those for \ e
Legislature should be elected on
Sept 7. In this way not only
will the expense be less for leach
candidate but a better expression
of the desires of the people will
be secured.
we are glad that the Hon, Will
lam A. Jones in an interview pub
llshed IN the News Leader Ct Mon
day denies that he intended to de
nounce the entire Judiciary of the
state in his Richmond speech. 1t
is to be deploVed that he should
nave used language which could
be construed to mean that all the
judges Of our state are subservient
to MIR. Martin and lack indepen-
denCe. A wholesale denunCation
OF any set of men simply becauce
there are some weaklings or ras-
Gals among them IS not only a tact
iCal blunder but huge injustice.
Thou deploring the spirit o
bitterness at times displayed by
MIR. Jones we have esteemed him
to bea man of cool judgem ent not
given TO making statements that
he can not sub9tantiate. We are
therefore glad that he disClaims
the intention to brand as unwor-
thy our Judiciary, men who taken
as a body, are as honest, upright
and capable as those whe adorn
the bench of any state.
