CRAWL ORD CASE
BEFORE GRAND
JURY JAN. q
Special Prosecutor Smith to Ask
Speedy Hearing-No Bill Would
Hurt Property Claims,

The indictment of Mrs Mary Belle
her aged husband, Uncle JOSH
Crawford, to obtain his $250,000 es-
tate, will be considered by the Fulton
County Grand Jury at its session
Wednesday, January 81.
Arguments in the civil case brought
by the rs-at-law of Crawford, set
for Monday before Special Auditor
Anderson, were postponed until jan
uary 26 because of the Illness of Reu-
ben K. Arnold, who is in the hospital
recovering from a minor operation,
and the absence of Colonel j. S.
James, who is out of the city on court
business. Attorney Arnold is of Mrs.
Crawford's counsel and Colonel Jane S
is representing the heirs.
John Y. Smith, appointed special
prosecutor in the criminal action
against Mrs. Crawford because of the
disqualification of Solicitor General
Dorsey, said Monday that he pro-
posed to have the case disposed Jf
speedily one way or the other.
There will be no further delay If
can help it," he said. I'VE have wha {
appears to be a strong chain of cir
cumstances against Mrs. Crawford.
shall present them to the Grand Jury
for what they are worth"
Counsel for Mrs. Crawford asserted
that the called Suspicious circum-
stances" had their existence only in
the minds of the heirs. They PREDICT
ed that a no bill would be returned on
the showing made.
Failure to return an indictment in
the criminal action will be a severe
blow If is believed TO the heirs n
their civil case. Their charges that
Mrs. Crawford married Crawford sor
his money and then got him out of
the way have been stressed through
out the hearing before Auditor Ander-
son,

"HIt Cur YeIps."
The words of that ell-known
evangelist can be used in this case
very appropriately-"th hit cur

character Of his yelpings it is plainly
evident that he has no other means

Cummings used abusive language
to Mr.. Davidson when he gave in his
evidence relative to giving him $500,
and threatened prosecution for Ii

that he had employed former Mayor

Cummings is very sore over the

In Tuesdays election the re-
publicans made considerable
gain and the democrats will hold
the next congress by a reduced
majority. Notably among the
successful republicans is Joseph
C. Cannon, for many years
speaker of the house, and who
was defeated two years ago. In
Pennsylvania Senator Boyse Pen
rose was reelected by an over
whelming majority. In New
York District Attorney Whitman
was elected governor, while Jas.
w. WadsWorth was elected to
the United States senate. They
were the nominees of the regular
republicans.
In Tennessee Thomas G.. Rye,
democrat, defeated Hooper, re-
publican, for governor by a ma
jority of Is, 600. The return of
Tennessee to the Democratic
column was anticipated. The
nefarious administrations of
Hooper were thoroughly exposed
and those democrats who were
disgruntled with the democrats
four years ago soon became dis
gusted with their new affiliations
and returned to the democratic
party.
The losses to the democratic
party in the northern congress

determined fight on the part Of
the formerly protected interests
to- regain congress and again

vances will be so, much gainedfa It
the end of the year; every dollar
borrowed on advances has to he
paid back out of the cotton crop.
6. Plant less acreage in cot
ton. Why? Because food pro-
ducts willremain high, and cotton
will probably remain low if, the.
war lasts. Do not runosanyl
chances. Follow a safe plan.
You will need the extra acres to
produce the food crops. 1t is
estimated that between three
and four million bales of cotton
will have to be carried over out
of the present crop. A normal
acreage in cotton next year, and
no increased lin food crops, will
certainly mean high priced food
and low priced cotton. You can
not afford to be compelled to
purchase high priced products
out of a very narrow margin of
profit in the cotton crop. Econo-
my in raising what. cotton is
planted is of supreme Importance.
The best economy is in good
farming and living at home.
To bankers and merchants we
would say that with their coop
Grafton much can be done to make
our own supplies for next year
In many counties in the boil
weevil territory bankers, mer-
chants and farmers have united
to sustain credit. In such cases
farmers have agreed to produce
home supplies and do good farm
ing, and bankers and merchants
have limited advances by insist
ing that the farmers must reduce
the acreage in cotton to make
way for the necessary food crops.
A little of that same cooperation
will help the whole cotton terri
tory next year. Will our bankers
and merchants be co-operators?
Suggestions and instructions
on all Of these subjects mentioned
in this letter may be had upon
application to your county agent,
your agricultural college or the

other suggestions from time to

NOTTON is the life-blood of the South. When the channels
through whichit runs are free and open, the South is pros

torpid. The war abroad has closed up the channels through
which nine million bales of cotton were hitherto disposed of
yearly. Other channels are being opened in this country.
YOU can help this movement by buying cotton goods and
and garments NOW at this store. We are doing our part by
featuring this week cotton goods and garments of every de-

wear, etc. In addition to the immense displays, which make it
easy and convenient to find what you want, we are quoting
numerous special prices to induce YOU to buy largely. The
prosperity OF our people in this section is affected by the situa-
