TO BETTER EXPORT OF
COTTON IN FUTURE

Atlanta, Ca The seizure Of
American cotton shipments by
Great Britain, despite promises that
cotton was to remain on the free
list, has aroused Georgia's repre-
sentatives and those Of other south
ern states in Washington. Word
comes that Senator Hoke Smith
and others are making an agrees
siye fight on this issue, and that
the administration is preparing to
make every effort which the law
allows, to force Great Britain to OPP
en- up the European markets for
cotton sales.
This action Of Great Britain,
according to Senator Smith, has
hurt the south more than any
other feature of the war.
Following the assurances made
last October by Great Britain that
cotton was and world remain on
the free list, the market opened up
splendidly for cotton, and the price
advanced to over ten cents a pound
It was expected that over nine mil
lion bales would go abroad by the
first Of July. Cotton was still ris-
ing in price and prosperity was
returning to the south when Great
Britain cut off the European mar
ket and Selling all vessels loaded
with cotton.
The injury which has been caus-
ed the south, not only effects the
price of cotton now on hand, but
effects valueof the crop now being
raised, as the countries from which
cotton is nov being excluded by
Great Britain consume annually
lover three million bales.

CHARGES AGAINST
TAGGART ARE DIS
MISSED BY COURT
Cases of More Than 100 Others Also
Charged with Conspiracy Put Over
to December /.

indianapolis, Oct. 20.-The case against
Thomas Taggart, Democratic national
committeeman for Indiana, charged with
election conspiracy, was dismissed by
Special Judge w. H. Eichhorn in Grim
iual court yesterday, on the motion OF
Prosecutor A. j. Rueker. The cases of
the more than 100 other men who were
indicted with Taggart and Mayor Joseph
+ Bell were put over to December /.
Mayor Bell was acquitted by jury last
Wednesday, after a trial lasting more
than five weeks.
Prosecutor Rucker, in moving to dis
miss the case against Taggart, stated
that the testimony Of witnesses in the
Bell case affecting Taggart was much
weaker than the testimony they gave be-
fore the grand jury. Paul Hagen, finan-
cial agent OF local brewing company,
Rucker said, testified before the grand
Jury that he gave Taggart $3.50 during
the 1914 campaign which was not ae-
counted for in the report OF the treas
urer of the Democratic county committee.
Hagan, the prosecutor continued. changed
his testimony just before he took the
witness stand in the Bell case, and there
testified that he gave the money TO
man at Democratic headquarters. In
view of this change OF testimony, Rucker
said he did not believe the evidence suffi-
cient to convict Taggart, and for that
reason he moved TO dismiss the charge
against Taggart
When this motion was sustained by
Judge Eichhorn, Prosecutor Rueker re.
quested that the other cases be postponed
until December ! 10 give his Office time
