ROME BUTCHERS SELL
INFECTED MEAT, SAYS
CITIZEN; PROBE is ON

ROME, GA, Sept. Exchanging that
sickly cattle are slaughtered here and
the meat sold by Rome dealers for hu-
man consumption, citizen has ad-
dressed a letter to the city council de-
handing rigid investigation.
Tainted meat, it is alleged, is mixed
with good beef and in that way the i'm
pure product is marketed without the
customer discovering the deception. 1t
is charged hat a former butcher was
instructed by a meat dealer to slaugh-
ter the sickly cattle and prepare the
meat for market in order to protect him
against loss, should the infected cattle
die.
An investigation of the charges is
now in progress.

.|RREGULAR|TY IN
COT TON PRICES
After ErratiC Trading Session
Market WeakenS at Close
on Liquidation.

NEW YORK. Sept. 25-Weakness in
Liverpool cables and absence of frost last
hlsht caused the cotton market to open
parely steady today, with prices ranging /
iast nights close. During the first ff-
teen minutes of trading a good buying
wave yra,,t prevailed. which appeared to come
ering on predictions OF much colder
weather IN the western belt tonight with
the probability of frost for tonight and
prices advanced to points over the
opening figures. After the call the mar
ket became unsettled and sagged a few
points, The ring crowd was free sellers,
whlle the buying was moderate and scat
tered.
The selling throughout the morning
session continued rather general by the
same pears that predominated in the
market yesterday. The buying was mod
crate on prediction of colder weather in
north Texas and Oklahoma, which rallied
the market, but the volume of business
was rather small and fluctuations were
narrow. reports of great deterioration
and western belts, but this was knocked
IN the head by rumors that National Gin
nerS condition figures were 6S to 60,
against 67.4 last month, which was re-
garded very bearish and prices during the
afternoon trading were only a few points
IN excess of the initial figures, ranging
about to Z points from the opening
There has been good spot demand re-
ported IN various sections and the pre-
vailing opinion among traders is that the
market will not have any decline of con-
sequence, as the average trader seems to
be awaiting to buy on any reaction, as
the conception of the larger spot inter
ests have been quietly buying for past
few days. Sentiments at present are
somewhat mixed.
At the close the market was barely
steady with prices displaying irregularity
ranging from to 5 points lower to 2 to 4
points higher than the final quotations of

right of the Southern railway to de-
cline the sale of transportation on it's

Atlantic Coast Line an unaftiliated
road, and petitioned the Georgia COM
mission, in line with his inquiry of the
Interstate commission. to look into and
rule upon the general question of the
rights of railroads so operating in Geor-
gia to adopt similar policies
Congressman Edwards specifically
complains to the interstate commerce
to purchase a ticket from Savannah to
Jacksonville, for use on a Southern
train using the Atlantic Coast Line
tracks between the two points, and
that the Southern agent refused to sell
him the ticket. The agent informed
Mr. Edwards that the Southern operat-
ed through trains only over the Coast
Line tracks, and did not interfere, in
any way, with the local traffic of the
Coast Line. 1t is the right of the
Southern to do this, and the right of
the Coast Line to lease its trackage for
such purposes exclusively, that Con-
gresham Edwards wishes investigated
and ruled upon
The Georgia commission may delay
its ruling on the question until after
the interstate commission has handed
down an opinion.
