Mayor Reported To Be Back Of
New Commissioner, Elected
by His Vote.

Following Mayor Woodward S
striking victory in the police
,OmmissiOnership fight in Coun-
ii, there were inSistent rumors
Tuesday that Robert T. Pace,
elected by the city's executives
vote, will be put in the race for
he craftsmanship of the board.
The present leading candidates are
W p. Fain and W. A. Vernoy. 1t is
generally conceded that Fain is al
most a certainty. The Mayor, it has
generally been understood, will vote
for Robert c. Clarke, who, however,
has very little chance and it is now
reported that Mr. Woodward will
support Pace in the hope that votes
pledged to Vernoy will swing to him
on the second ballot.
Experts Still Bank on Fain.
None Of those directly interested
would talk of the situation Tuesday,
but the meeting of the Police Board
next week is being eagerly awaited.
The political experts still insisted
mat fain's position was impregnable
and that he would be chosen on the
second ballot, but there was some un-
edSlness among his friends about,
ABOUT Iast-minute developments.
Mayor Woodward, whose vote broke

JUS NJ. Anderson and elected the for
0er refused Tuesday to express mis-
opinion as to the effect the election Of
Mr. Pace and Mr., Clarke would have
on the culture policies OF the Police
Board.
he declared, however. that their Sc
'e'uon to places on the board is evil
0eoce that the people of Atlanta are
se'uhs tired of senseless and cease
,esS agitation, and that Council has
oesun to recognize this feeling on the
part Of their constituents.
People Tired of Agitation.
The people of Atlanta want a

mayor Woodward, and they want
'ai%agItation to cease. The election
VI 4ir Pace certainly evinces a dis
poS'uon on the part of Council to give
we city a sane business government.
we don't want to run wild over ia

Mr. Pace is good man, with the
vss' interests of the city at heart, and
am confident that he will do his ut

In debate which took place re-
Gently before the National Civic Fed
Grafton. one Of the speakers who at

the statement that 1t was quite i'm

matter of values, says an exchange.
Strange as 1t may seem, the state
ment went unchallenged. The value

ON the price for which II Is sold, but
upon the quantity of real silk II con-
tains. and no one but an expert can

describing how a certain imported"
silk had been sold at $3.50 a yard.
An examination by experts showed
that II contained so little silk that Il
could have been sold for seventy
hve cents yard and returned n
very satisfactory profit. The mer-
chant could have cut the price of
$3.50 several times over without los
Ing any money on the deal, and the
foolish public would doubtless have
congratulated itself on having secur-

Even should any measurable amount

FARMERS Union, and the Sumter
Chamber Of COmmrce believe that the

Speeches today varied little from
the customary routine utterances.
Gov. Blease added one interesting side
remark, when he read from Men Of

Norwood. with whom the governor
had an alteration at the Greenvilie
meeting, had not supported the DEM

The governor also said today that
any one who charged that either he

Senator Smith was the first speaker
and explained in detail the results Of
his trip to Washington over Sunday
for the purpose of seeking federal re-
lief for the demOralized condition OF
the cotton market.
The speaker said that he had
found it practically impossible for the
new banking and currency law to be-
come operative within the next month.
This precludes the possibility Of banks
accepting cotton as collateral under
the Smith amendment, embodied in
section 13 of the act.
The plan which the senator is now
pursuing is to have half of the bill
lion dollars of emergency currency
! just issued under the Aldrich-Vree-
land act sent South and distributed
! through all banks, State and national
and TO be borrowed by farmers, the
banks accepting certificates Of cotton
stored as collateral. 1t is the two
thirds of the entire cotton crop which
is. always sent to Europe that is wor-
ryinS Senator Smith most.
