Many Ballots Invalidated.

Another incident which some observers
say may have had bearing on the selec-

groups Mr.. Seibertich claimed today that
he was iIl-treated by the Taft managers
and therefore. ran independently. Re

Heavy Capitalization.

A capitalization of $7,00OO00 is pro
posed, divided as follows: One mill
ion in common voting stock; S5,OOe,-
00O in participation certificates. This
stock to be sold while the corpora
ton is in formation so as to net par TO
the corporation, afterwards the value
raised to such price as the directors
deem advisable. When the entire
stock is sold it is believed it will rep
resent something like $4,000, 900 cash
to the treasury. This capital, togeth-
er with the certificate fees, should
bring the cash capital of the corpora
ton up to approximately $2O,OOOOOo
or S25 900 900 with which to begin
business. With such n capital under
the present system of marketing any
man or firm could confidently count
os doing a business of 100000 bales
of cotton.
Under the plans of the corporation
the amount of business which could
be handled with this same capital
would be unlimited, since each bale
which passes through its hands
would add { its capital $40 over the
cash price paid to the owner for it,
as under the certificate or costract
with the grower or owner, loan of
$40 per bale has been arranged,
which is to run ninety days or longer
if necessary. Therefore, each bale
delivered to the corporation would
strengthen its reserve instead OF
weakening 1t. Under this plan cotton
at every railroad station, town or city
in the south would have one value,
the same as gold has its stable value
throughout the world.
Should more cotton he produced
than the world needs for its consump-
ton at 15c to the cotton grower, the
&c which it is provided to withhold
in the payment between the corpora
/ sion tnd the grower provides the
funds 10 hold the surplus, and this
surplus will remain the property of
the growers until the cotton has pass
ed into the hands Of the millsShould,
therefore, at the end of any year there
be a surplus of 100000 bales more
than the world needed. 1c a pound
on the total crop would provide the
money for holding the 100000 bales
off the market.
"As to whether President Wadley' S
agreement with the German syndicate
confirms in toto with the above re-
mains to be seen. He is expected TO
sail for America next week and the
complete details, it is presumed, will
be made public upon his arrival"

JUDGE FIFE CALLS
FOR A DIVISION OF
CHEROKEE CIRCUIT

DALTON, GA. Dec. 6.-The need Of
dividing the Cherokee circuit into two
judicial circuits is almost imperative.
according to a statement made by
Judge A. W. F'ite here, and he backed
his statement by cold figures.
In going over the Whitfield county
dockets, he found that the civil bust
ness had grown almost 200 per cent
during the past five years, with a slight
increase in criminal business. In 1908
there were 81 civil cases entered, and
this year the number had increased to
147, the increase being no sudden
jump. but gradual.
The same conditions that prevail
here are in evidence in all parts OF the
cigcuit," said Judge Fite, and it is i'm
possible TO satisfactorily dispatch the
business with the present arrangement.
The attorneys frequently complain that
they are worked too hard; but the cir
cult is 80 big it is necessary. An addi-
tional judge should be furnished the
six counties in order to relieve the
cOngested dOckets"
1t is not improbable that bin to d.
vide the circuit into two circuits will be
introduced in the next legislature
