new YORK COTTON
EXCHANGE UNDER
fire OF SENATE
WOULD STOP DEALSINFUTURE
Clark Says 1t is a Gambling
Institution

Washington, D. c., Sept. 1.-Sen2-
tor Clarke addressed the senate today
on his amendment to impose a tax o1
trading in cotton where no actual de-
livery was intended. Senator Clarke
declared that the New York cotton
exchange and Its parasite" the New
Orleans exchange, were no more than
gambling institutions, and that those
who speculated in cotton upon their
floors were engaged in wholly
selfish and illegal business. New York
he said, was the chief offender, and
New Orleans exchange only a. "minot
affair" The New York exchange, he
argued, controlled the price of cotton
for the world.
Il think the New York exchange,
said the senator, sis wholly bad and
has no right to exist. 1t is a gamb-
ling institution and is so regarded
by everybody who goes there to
trade
Senator Clarke declared that
gambling in agricultural products had
been condemned by the platform
adopted at the Baltimore convention
and that the democratic party in con-
gress must take steps in conformity
with that declaration of principles. He
said the actual deliveries of cotton on
the New York cotton exchange wece
only half of one per cent. of the
sales.
Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
answering Senator Clarke, declared
that under the amendment proposed
the cotton producer would indirectly
pay the tax. He argued in support
of his own bill making it mandatory
for every contract for cotton to spec
ify the grade to delivered. He AZ
serted that under present contracts,
with 27 different grades of cotton,
the purchaser never knew what sort
he would get when delivery made.
If the contract provided for delivery
OF specified grade no man woula
dare go short on the cotton exchange,
the senator said.

RECEIPTS AXE GOOD FOR

Americas Had 2l0 Bales Of
Cotton Monday

While Monday is usually an "off-day
in the way of cotton receipts, due US
ually to good receipts on Friday and
Saturday, yesterday was an exception
10 the rule, as 210 bales were received
at Americus warehouses. 1t being a
holiday on the exchanges no market
reports were received here, but, no.
withstanding this fact, numerous sales
were made around twelve cents for
good middlings. Much interest Is cen
tered in the bureau report on crop
conditions due today, as the effect up
on the market may be considerable.

Americus friends of DR.. Albert Hin
kle and wife, who formerly resided liz
Americus many years and were mar
ried here, will regret the unfortunate
occurrence alleged to have occurred in
their Macon home Saturday night, l..
which the aged mother, Mrs. Laura
Hinkle, was knocked down and her hio
broken. The following detailed story
is from the Macon Telegraph, wherein
both husband and wife make state
ments
Macon, Ga, Sept. THE vicinity Of
Orange and High streets was thrown
into state of high excitement Satur-
day night about Z o'clock when
screams of women came from the homs
OF DR.. A. B. Hinkle on Orange streer.
Almost before a crowd had time to
gather, the police patrol wagon rolled
up and stopped before the doors =
the handsome home. Mrs. Hinkle had
'phoned for the police.
A moment later Patrolmen Allen and
Avent emerged, dragging DR.. Hinkle
down the steps with Mrs Hinkle Gloss
behind, in state of great agitation.
This is no case for the police" the
doctor was protesting, "it is only a
family affair. No intentional harm was
meant to any one"
Then the policemen released their
prisoner. Mrs. Hinkle declared that
she didn't want him locked up--that
she would give him another chance.
They went back into the house.
James Hinkle, seventeen-year-ol
son, came down the steps and demand
ed that his father be arrested. He was
told that he would have to swear out
warrant.
.1'll get it." he cried, but you men
mind mother, or he'll kill her sure. He
jumped on me and beat me and kick
ed me in the face with his heels"
The boy drove off with Patrolman
Allen.
