ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. lie. A Cope

election as a member of the W. &. A.
releasing commission and notified
Governor Harris of this fact in a let
ter He will be present at meeting
of the board Monday, when the organ

Mr.. Copelan has retired from active
business. Until few years ago he
was president of the Copelan Nationa,
clerk in store to his own private
bank, which he converted into a ma
tional bank in 1907. He has served in
the state senate from the nineteenth
district, has been a trustee of the

wards progress for the state
Mr. Copelan's letter reads:
Il am in receipt of your letter of the
9Th informing me of my selection by
the members of the W. & A. commits
sion to fill the vacancy caused by the
refusal of Hon. Fuller E. Galloway to
serve. I wish to convey to you, and
through you to the other members OF
the commission, my sincere thanks for
their confidence and for the honor con-
ferred on me.
Il have thought the matter over seri-
cusly and have consulted with few of
NY friends, and after due consideration
have decided to accept the position.
while fully realize that it involves
great amount of responsibility and
work, yet I am willing to do this for
the people of the state. The w. &. A.
railroad being valuable asset of
Georgia, it is the duty of some of the
citizens to give their best efforts to re-
lease it to the best advantage of the
people as provided by the act of the
legislature of 1915, and while I know
il will take a great amount of time, It
Will be to me labor of love for the
Empire State of the South.
Il will be with you on next Monday
AID I will then convey to each member
Of the commission my personal thanks
for their kindness"

COTTON MARKET

AMERICUS, Ca, Dec. ia hori-
z9ntal drop of SO points in the cotton
futures market Just prior to the close
yesterday morning proved a bombshell
in the local bull pen, following as it
did the advance of the day before.
At first it was suspected that dire
war news caused the break, but it de-
veloped later that the decline of 80 to
2S points was only the usual fleeing
Of the lambs, and was not based upon
market conditions.
The lambs" bought ehayily on the
advance Friday, and the wool-pluck-
ing followed yesterday.
The market opened yesterday morn
irg at an advance of four points over
the close of Friday and was very
steady. The "freezeout" followed
when the January option fell like a
brick from IL. to 1918 at the close.
The spot market was steady with good
demand at current quotations.
The futures market was quoted Sat
urday as follows: Open Close.
January 1880 1918
March NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. l2.13 12.4o
May 1895 1851
The Americas market is quoted as
follows:
Fully good middling .... 12 lie
Good middling :. ............. lie
Fully middling :. ........11 3-4c
The fierce break, while generally I'M
derstood by the trade, caused cessa-
ton in spot buying for the day. A
stronger market on Monday is conf
IDENTIFY expected by the trade.
