will not stand up before the legal
searchlght
Though not called upon to take up
the contracts, the Judge declared that
they were not binding because of lack
of mutually. He pointed to the ten
day clause to bear out his opinion,
saying that while the clubs could re-
lease player by giving ten-day no
tice, there was no such alternative
for the players protection.
President Gilmore has thrown off
all restraint on his managers. They
have been licensed to rove at will,
signing players anywhere they can.
Gilmore has probably been leading
up to this stand for some time. He
was foxy enough to- wait until his
league had been we'll advertised and
had secured some good players.
Simmered down, the Hamilton
case, and any other case of contract
jumping, means that real war has
opened up. Now the reserve bank
rolls must be called on, and the vic
tory will go to the fellows who keep
the loosest clutch on their coin.
If the battle gets into the courts
on the Hamilton case it will go
against the organized gang, if the
opinion of the Arkansas judge in the
Camnitz case acts as a precedent.
The National Commission may de-
eide to keep away from the law
sharks and rely on the wealth in it's
Golfers to combat the Feds.
Which ever way the verdict falls, it
will not affect the fans, and the play
ers will profit, for time at least.
So why should we on the sideIines
get all worked UP over a fight that
must be borne by the magnates?

Then the National put up a howl
about the wickedness of the Amer
lean, but the only consolation they
got was loud and prolonged laughter
from the same people who are now
kicking.
The National League will be drawn
into the scrap at once, as the powers
of the National Commission will be
invoked in the war of the Feds.
And when the Tener Terrors begin
to cry about contract jumpers they
should not forget John McGraw, who,
while manager of the Baltimore team
in the American League, hoped to
New York over night, taking with him
the cream Of the talent, disrupting
the club and compelling other teams
to lend the Orioles players to finish
the season.
Baltimore will never forget that af-

Let organized ball remember Will

Browns who were raided yesterday.
They signed with the Feds and were
then snatched back. How about Kah-

also signed Fed contracts. and were
then resigned by Cleveland? And
what about Bill Killifer of the Phil

a court in Grand Rapids, Mich, to-
morrow.

Our Personal Neutrality.

| Seldom has the president been more
timely in his utteranees than in the
warning issued Yesterday to guard the
people of this country against words
and acts out of harmony with the neu-
trail attitude. 1t is of course free
country, and there is no thought of pre-.
venting any inha bitant's thinking as he
may or speaking as he thinks. But the
very fact that the outspoken cannot be
restrained if they will hurrah or vitu-
perate makes it all the more proper that
one in suitable position should remind
all the rest of us in the public interest
to guard their behavior.
German and English sympathizers
still meet in our land by thousands at
deck or bench every morning, at table
every evening Recriminations among
them cannot much help either of the Eu-
ropean battle lines. They are much
more likely to raise various trouble
here at home. Some will be impressed
by the presidential invocation to give
the whole world a good example; but
many more are likely to be chiefly
struck by his views as to the need of
preserving good relations over Anglo
and Franco German backyard boundary
fences for the sake of keeping the eoun-
try toerable to live in.
In fairness to all concerned, it should
be recognized that our divided and deeply
interested population, for all its roots in
the soil of the battle-ground, has thus far
deserved praise for the admirable self
restraint displayed ON all sides, IRE.

EMPIRE STATE DIXIE HOLDING
NATIONAL ELECTION TODAY
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

| ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. Georgia is
electing national and state officials,
creating several new counties and vot-
ing on the adoption of number of
Amendments to the state constitu ion
today.
While 1or , of tie democratic n
didates G 81 arly nominated at the
democratic primaries of the past sum-
mer are feeling any uneasiness as to
the outcome, the recent activities of the
progressive party in Georgia have
stirred some of them to campaigning
around bit, and several stirring COM
munications urging all Georgians to
get out and roll up a full vote have
been is@Ued. One of these was from
the state democratic executive COM
hittee, and there are several from va
rious leaders of the party.
All over the country the national
election is being held. All of the states
will elect their full congressional del
egations, thirty-one will choose sena-
tors, and twenty-nine will vote on state
house officials.
! The democrats now have a majority
Of five in the senate and will still be in
control after today's elections, for in
only seven states outside the solid
South are elections being contested.
They are looking to carry fair share
Of these and perhaps increase the par
tvs majority.

Office announced the fact that deposit
crs checks aggregating $38, 135.75, duly
countersigned by the treasury officials,
had been mailed Monday to Receiver
Smith. The checks should arrive to-
morrow noon, at the latest.
The amount of money for this first
distribution will be sent to Americas
by the time the checks arrive, or very
soon thereafter, Receiver Smith states,
and Americas depositors will be paid
the actual cash at one of the local
banks, instead of receiving the amount
in checks on Washington, as would
have been the case but for the plea
made by Receiver Smith for the first
named plan.
The Americas depositors will re-
ceive between $25, 900 and $50 900 Of the
SUM total, sSs,1a5.75, the balance go-
lug 10 eIeditors in other tOwns. TIE

QUITE A BIG
SLUMP IN PRICE
WITHIN A YEAR
CLOSE TIC. FOURTEEN CENTS WAS
PRICE OF COTTON THIS DATE
LAST YEAR.

Just one year ago the Times-Re-
corder quoted good middling cotton at
10 ga cents-very near fourteen cents
or just exactly double the price the
same grade will bring today. One
year to the date has made a difference
"a difference of $35 per bale in the
price of cotton. There is also a diff
ference in demand, then and now, as
cotton was king a year ago, whereas
today there are none to do him rev.
erence-a discredited monarch in his
own empire.
And all on account of Kaiser Bill, the
Ted-handed rowdy of Europe
While cotton was worth practically
fourteen cents in Americas one year
ago there was plenty of it for sale, and
of good quality, every fine bale being
worth $40 to it's owner, while today
he might possibly sell fine bale for
$35-half price-but no more.
The Times-Recorder's files show
that receipts of cotton in Americas at
this date last year were 22,99O bales,
against ,56S bales up to yesterday,
or through the months of September
and October, falling off in receipts
of 1882 bales. This is easily explained,
however, in the fact that 5000 to TO-
900 bales are held on Sumter county
farms today, which under normal con-
ditions, would have been marketed.
OF the 81, sos bales received in Amer
icus to date, November LIST, probably
1000 have been sold, leaving stocks
on hand, estimated, 1880 bales.

UNCLE SAM SHIPPING
GASOLINE TO GERMAN !
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Nov. 3.-Failure of Ger
many to exhaust its supply of petrol
is attributed by writer's in the Lon
don press to a supply of oil supposed
to be shipped from the United States
to Germany by way of Norway, Den
mark and Sweden. According to AL
bert Liddgitt, who contributes an arti-
Gle on this subject to the current is
sue of prominent motor journal, Ger
many has planned to get it's petrol in
ships flying the Danish, Swedish and
Norwegian flags and carrying the oil
in barrels.
H. Massac Buist, writing in the Sun
day Observer, says:
There is proof positive that up to
the end of the last month Germany
had received some thousands of tons
of motor spirits in this manner, and
according to the present chartering
arrangements that other large con-
signments are either being loaded or
are on the Atlantic at this moment on
the way to Denmark, Norway or Swe-
den. He says that up to the cores
ponding period last year there had
been shipped from America to DEN
mark 1925 gallons of motor spirits,
but owing to the mysterious activity
in cargoes of late the motor spirit
shipments to Copenhagen alone have
been nearly 100000 gallons this year
of which half million gallons left
during the last week in September"

FLORIDA TAX ON
PARLOR CARS VALID
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 3-The
widely talked of tax upon parlor and
sleeping cars operating in the state Of
Florida which was imposed by the
general assembly of that state nearly
a year ago, was upheld as constitu-
tional in decision handed down this
morning by the United States supreme
court.
The law, which lays a tax o. a dollar
and a half a hundrttl on the Fross 1e-
eeipts of all sleepil and pallor cars
operated in Florida ntra-state service,
has been stoutly resisted by numer-
Gus railroads, which sought injunc-
tons in the lower courts to prevent the
state from proceeding to collect the
tax.
Today's decision UNFOLDING the Flor
ida law, holds that to place such tax
solely upon cars operated in intra-
state service, or upon intra-state rev.
enues only, does not interfere with in
terstate commerce, nor violate the con-
stitutional provision against taxation
upon such business.

IMPROVEMENT IN
AMERICUS PLANT
Being ARRANGED
TO DISMANTLE ONE PLANT
LARGER ONE ALONE WILL BE
OPERATED.

The Americas Service Co., the new
corporation resulting from the con-
solicitation of the two electric lighting
plants here, contemplates making CON
siderable improvements at the gas
works for the betterment of the SER
vice. The source of supply will be
increased and other enlarged facili-
ties provided. In the consolidation of
the two electric lighting plants the
company will give better service, Cen
eral Manager Emory Mathis states.
Further use of the smaller plant, that
of the Americas Power Co., will be
discontinued, and all power will be
transmitted from the larger plant
that of the Americas Electric Company.
The new plant, which was operated
only few months, will be dismantled
and the full equipment sold in an
other city, when a purchaser is found.
1t is entirely new and modern, with
all important parts in duplicate.
