FOUR PEOPLE ARE BEING HELD FOR
 POWERS KILLING
Mrs. Nash Declines to Talk and Rowan Only Looks Out the Window When
 Questioned

One man. woman and two negro women are in the county jail at the present time on charges of murder in con nection with the assassination of Robert Powers at Leeds last Sunday night. The coroner's inquest last week implicated all those arrested
 At the county jail yesterday afternoon Mrs. Charles Nash was asked for a state- ment of the killing. which she smiinsly refused She stated that her lawyer Mr. Harsh, had forbidden her to talk.
 Mrs. Nash is a young woman and a comedy brunette. She sat on the cell cot and played with the leaves of magazine as she nervously faced the queries of the reporter. She smiled continuously and always answered quickly.
 Won't Tell What She Saw
 No matter what you say, you can't make me admit anything of this affair" she said. T will not say anything about it and I will not tell what l saw--n
 In the case of the man, Tom Rowan, tho interviewer is in reality "up against It."
 In the first place. Rowan, who is not lodged with the other prisoners. but is al- lowed the privilege of the inside warden's bedroom appears about 2T years of age and his face is rough looking. To all questions he would merely look stolidly out of the barred window into the Jail yard.
 Robert F. Powers, merchant at Leeds. was killed about 20 feet from the Nash residence about a half mile north of Leeds. last Sunday night about s o'clock At the time of the killing Charles Nash. husband of the imprisoned woman, was not at home, but on a visit to his father. about 15 miles away
 At the coroner's inquest evidence was brought forward to show that Powers had sent messengers to the Nash home to as certain if MT. Nash, who was a former employe of Powers. was at home.
 Rowan to Plead Self-Defense
 It is now understood that Tom Rowan will plead self-defense ut the preliminary trial. 1t is said in Leeds that Powers had made threats that he would kill my one he found around the Nash residence.
 As for Mrs. Nash. she is being held only as a material witness. as the state feels assured that she knows all that srans- pired immediately prior and following the fatal shooting. Tho authorities state that misplaced loyalty is preventing Mrs. Nash from giving a truthful account of what actually happened at her home last Sum day night.
 Of her loyalty and her family and fam fly connections Mrs Nash spoke very highly at the jail yesterday. She said
 ''1 am Nandiver. and my family has lived in Leeds great many years. The Nashs have also lived in Leeds a long time and are well known and well off. As for the Rowans. they are also a very good family. and with all three, the Van divers, Nashs and Rowans. loyalty Is a creed.
 AS for Powers. I don't know anything of him or his family You'll have to seq bis friends to know what he was. Any way. he's dead and I don't want to talk about him at all"
 Coroner c. l.. Spain states that the Powers killing present sone of the most interesting and absorbing mysteries he has encountered in his experience as coroner. Sheriff Walter Y. McAdory is of the same opinion.

COMPANIES PLANS . ID INSURE COTTON ARE MADE PUBLIC Bonded Warehouses With a Capacity of 400 Bales
 to Be Built EACH BALE WILL BE COVERED SEPARATELY Valuation of Nine Cents for Insurance. Provision Made to Protect Com-
 panies in Case of Loss
 by Fire

!. Cotton stored in warehouses for which receipts are held, can be Insured by marks, numbers and amount per bale by the holder of cotton. This is the plan adopted by a committee panies operating in Alabama, and a copy of the insurance form has been sent agents here. The public has been asking since the outbreak of the Eu- ropean war how cotton will be ware housed and insured in the event it cannot be sold abroad. The warehous. ing of cotton will be met by the build : ing of warehouses of sufficient size 10 hold about 400 bales and will be bonded The insurance situation will be met by fnsuring each bale separately and apart.
 The valuation upon which cotton will De insured under the new form Is g cents pound. The companies are protected, however, in the event the price is forced to level below cents for in the contract it is provided that the cotton can be replaced by other cotton Of the same grade and classifi- cation. If bale of cotton insured on a basis of cents were to be destroyed after the market had been forced down to cents, the companies will have the privilege of purchasing cotton at the latter figure and giving 1t to the policy holder as reimbursement for his loss 1# May Be Used as Collateral
 Under the new form. cotton may be used as collateral security for loans or advances of money, but in the event original holder of the policy must ad- just with the companies the loss. Money can be borrowed on insured cotton, but neither the borrower n Jr the lender can act as custodian for the cotton. The cotton must be stored in warehouses. and the insurance policy is issued with the proviso that the cot ton insured is to remain in the ware house in which it was when the policy was taken out.
 Warranty is made against the sup- stitution of cotton for an insured bale and special provision Is made covering g this phase of the insurance. The form for insuring cotton, as received yes- terday by R. A. Brown & Co.,, agents, is as follows:
 Form for insuring cotton by marks, numbers and amount per bale--On. ... bales of cotton, being a specific insur each bale, marked and numbered as follows:

AN APPEAL TO
GEORGIA DEMOCRATS
CHAIRMAN REAGAN CALLS AT
TENTION TO FACT OF OPPO-
SITION TO NOMINEES.
BOILERS PUT UNDER THE BAN
And Won't BE Allowed to Participate
i'm State Primaries Hereafter. Ev-
cry Democrat Urged to Do His
Duty on Nov. Bird Next.

To the Democrats of Georgia:
desire to call your attention to the
fact that some of the democratic
nominees are to have opposition in
the November election. Several per-
sons calling themselves progress
ives" or "bull moosers" are now OPP
posing the democratic nominees.
While there may be no real danger
in this movement it will be well for
every member of the democratic par
ty to turn out and vote on the 3rd
day of November.
Most, if not all, of these men who
are now fighting the nominees voted
in the August primary and some of
them were candidates in that pri-
mary, running as democrats. How
any man can vote in a primary and
then vote against the nominees in
that primary is hard to understand,
but such is the case. therefore, urge
upon every democrat in the state the
Importance of voting in the Novem-
Der election. Even if there should
be no danger they should vote in or
der to show the strength of the party.
Boilers VIII Be Excluded.
I desire, also, to call attention to
the resolution passed by the state
democratic executive committee on
the 28th of September, 1914, which
provides that ali persons who voted
in the August primary and votes
against any of those nominated in
that primary in the November cleo
ton will not be permitted to vote in
the democratic primaries hereafter
held. This resolution was passed by
the committee unanimously, and
shows the temper of the committee
on this question, and shows that the
committee is determined to protect
the loyal democrats by seeing to it
| that these men shall no longer be
permitted to come into the demo
cratic primaries and help to name

Frs UNION TALKS OF THE
PREVAILING SITUATION.
BARRETT BLAMES POLITICIANS

Says Farmer Has Been Fooled SO
Long and So Often That He Is Now
Standing FIat-footed and Demand
ing Actual Performance.
ATLANTA.-That the question OF
giving help to the cotton growers OF
the South in the present difficulties is
squarely up to the national congress
is the opinion expressed by c. 5. Bar
rett, president of the National Farm
ers' Union.
Mr.. Barrett talks right out in
meeting. He says it is the same old
story of the oily politician with his
smooth prediction promises and his
placid forgetting of the farmer after
the election.

Same Old Story.

81 believe the farmer is waking up
at last" said Mr.. Barrett. HE has
been fooled so long and so often by
this sort of thing that he is going to
Washington now with a fiat-footed
demand for actual performances, or
else a cold-blooded statement that he
NAV go to Jericho.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1914-10-13
Has Solid Support.

81 know that we have the solid
support of the Farmers Union from
coast to coast in the demand now Tor
some definite, concrete action on the
part of congress. Farmers every
where recognize the crisis in the
South, and believe that actual relief
can only come from the national con-
gress.
What is known as the Henry bill
has our solid backing. Prior to the
elections this bill, in essentials at
least. was approved by candidates.
Now that the candidates are safely
elected again they see some sudden
dreadful danger in the Henry bill.
81 don't suppose we will get any
help from congress, but We are GER
tainly going to put some Of the fax
ers on record in such a way that
they can't fool Uncle Reuben again.
Mr.. Barrett has about despaired OF
the farmers getting any aid from the
national government.

Mr.. HENRY'S COTTON
PLAN IS CONDEMNED
M'ADOO SAYS THERE SHALL BE
NOTHING FOR ONE INDUSTRY
OR SOMETHING FOR ALL.
HIS CRITICISM is VERY SHARP
The Secretary of the Treasury Says
All Must Be Treated Alike, and
Declares Direct Federal Aid Would
Impair Governments Credit.


WASHINGTON, D. C.-The plan
for direct federal aid to cotton grow
ers to the extent of $4OO, 100000 was
the subject of sharp criticism in
letter to Representative Henry of
Texas, made public tonight by Secre-
tary McAdoo. The letter is in reply
to recent statements to the house by
Mr.. Henry.
Mr. McAdoo announces that the
proposal to sell $3.50, 100000 of Pan
anna canal bonds to bolster the cotton
crop is not practicable, and generally
objects to all the features of the Hen
ry plan He calls attention to the
fact that those who deal in tobacco
naval stores, copper, silver and other
commodities have sought government
aid.
eff we disregard every suffering
interest except cotton" he said, "and
make it the sole beneficiary of gov
ernmental favor what becomes Of the
democratic principle of equal rights
for all, special privileges to none?"
Must Treat All Alike.
''If we enter upon the course you
suggest we must help every distress
ed industry impartially. To do that
would necessitate the issue of many
more than 100000, 900 in bonds and
greenbacks and dangerously involve
the credit of the government. It
would be a hopeless undertaking in
defiance Of every sound principle Of
finance ard economies, with certain
disaster at the end
Representative Henry introduced
in the house today a compromise
loan proposal presented in a bill
framed last night by a conference of
Southern members of congress. Ii
would reduce the proposed loan tC
$3.50, 100000. Mr.. Henry also sent
a letter to the house banking con-
mittee asking a prompt hearing OF
the bill.
