sentative Underwood that total treas
ury receipts for the present fiscal
year up to Wednesday exceeded those
for the same period a year ago by
$734,904, but that the increase was
accounted for by the 100000 de-
rived from the sale of two battle
ships to Greece and the fact that
$5,732,255 of the corporation and in
come tax for the previous fiscal year
was not paid until the first ten days
of July, 1914.
The actual increase in ordinary
internal revenue collections for this
fiscal year to August 81 compared
with year ago, was So, 139,643.
There was a.decrease of $5S8, 1876 in
July, of which $429,336 was on dis
titled spirits. In August there was
an increase Of $2.727,SO9 over the
corresponding period, the increase in
revenue from distilled spirits aggre-
eating $3,326,6O2.
THE increased revenue in distilled
spirits in August" Secretary McAdoo
added, following decreases in pre-
ceding months, unquestionably was
due to the expectation or fear of dis
tillers that the rate of tax on dis
titled spirits would be increased"
A Time of Great Distress.
Democratic Leader Underwood
and Representative Payne of New
York opened the discussion of the
bill.
Mr.. Underwood said the country
was facing a worldwide disturbance
Of business conditions and was "suf-
eering in a business way more than
we have ever suffered since the war
between the states" He said the
pending bill was necessary to meet
an exigency over which the govern
ment had no control, and thai ordi-
narily the present tariff law would
be adequate for expenses.
Representative Payne declared the
trade balance against the United
States in the first thirteen months Of
the democratic tariff law exceeded
100000, 1000, and that responsible
ity for financial troubles now lay at
the door of the democratic tariff.
He asserted that in 1916 there would
be no revenue from sugar and asked
where the democrats would get the
$40, 100000 to counterfeit that loss.

rightful share of the profits.
What will be the result of the in
vestigation which is reported to have
been begun, cannot, of course, be in
any way foretold. Speculation is
rife. however, as to what will be the
final outcome and the arrival OF the
government agent is being awaited
with more than usual interest.

Decline in Price and ReClfemeht Oh
Buyers From Market Is Alleged to
Be Due to a Combination in Viola
ton of Antitrust Law.
VALDOSTA, Collaboration has
been received in Valdosta from the
department of justice in Washington
that a special agent of the depart
ment will arrive in Valdosta within
the next few days for the purpose of
investigating an alleged combination
of sea island cotton buyers Of South
Georgia.
Rumors to the effect that such a
combination has been in operation
for several weeks have been floating
about VaIdosta and they have caused
much speculation. The recent turn
of affairs in Washington would seem
to indicate that there is at least some
Foundation for the rumors.
It is reported that on certain
date all other buyers in the sea is

withdrew from the market. 1t is also
alleged that after other buyers dropp-
cd ont of the market sea island cot
ION prices in Valdosta decreased ma

a natural result.

AS other buyers in the belt have

buyers have for some time been max

land belt. 1t is claimed by producers
of sea island cotton that the buyers
are in a combination to force the
price of the staple down while they
have already sold the cotton to the
mills at high figure. The producers
claim that they should be getting
around % to "a cents for their prod

buyers would be making a good
profit.
In some instances it is reported
that buyers have their purchases sold
