Judge Gary Clears Up Ru- mOrs Heard About Him

Washington, January 10.-(Special) The Washington Post, ufder a New York date line, prints the following today: "Elbert, H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, to- day made a clean sweep of the busi- ness and political rumors affecting him which have been stirring in the financial district several days, and some of which have found prominent place in the newspapers
 "EIe is to remain in his present po- director, are cordially harmonious in their business and social relations ]; each member of the various boards of the Steel corporation is on the friend- Hest terms with the other members; he regards his recent warning to make business sound against the end of the war as far from pessimistic and he has never considered running for Pres- ident of the United States. He also de- nied 'champioaing Colonel Roosevelt for that office.''
 Pittsburg, January 10.-Reports that Henry c. Prick, prominently identified with the United States Steel corpor- ation, is not in sympathy with the of ficial conduct of F. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors, and that he is trying to unseat him, were denied here tonight in a statement authorized by MT. Prick. Instead, according to the statement the relations of MT. Prick with Judge Gary and other officials of the corporation are of the friend Hest and most harmonious character. The statement also says that MT. Prick has no connection whatever with any proposed combination of steel com panies and that he no longer has any interest in the Cambria Steel company.

bale Of short-staple cotton, bought by Elem
ing & English in 1914.
Compressed, Brother Gurr's statement is
that G. W. Dozier sold to f. & E. the missing
bale for a farmer, III. L. Kirksey, near Par
rott and paid Kirksey 10 cents pound; and
Kirksey produced a warehouse receipt
showing that the troublesome bale was stored
with Dunn & Pinkston, of Parrott.
Kirkseys receipt from D. & P. was for
warded to Fleming & English, and never seen
again by the Georgia parties.
When the Tennessee parties requested that
the bale be sold, Dozier went to the ware
house, and found that the bale had dis
appeared, but the receipt stubs sh0oced that
1t had been shipped.
Dunn & Pinkston care prepared to affirm"
so Brother Gum says-that the distracting
bale ''was sold and shipped upon presenta-
ton of the receipt"
Sold and slapped to ech0no?
Who presented the Kiksey receipt? It
was made out in bis name and showed that
the aggravating bale stood to his credit in the
warehouse
How could any one, except Kirksey, prevail
upon Dunn & Pinkston to sell and ship the
cotton, without written assignment of the
warehouse receipt?
This is the funniest bale of cotton that |
ever heard of in nv life. Evidently, it re-
garded itself as pleasantly, from the very
jump.
1t has caused Dozier to write astounding
letters about its being "ricl1ed ups" Dozier
sure it would be located when the pile

was ''ricked down." it has inveigled Banker
Saville, who wrote saying that Dozier had "no
records of the number" (of this terrible bale)
che, Dozier, has been unable to identify the
bale of cotton, hence could not possibly have
disposed Of it for them"
Last of all comes Lawyer Gurr who asserts
that Dunn & Pinkston twill affirm" that some
body poduced the Kirksey receipt, and that
they-Dunn & Pinkston-"sold and shipped"
the cotton.
Shipped it where? Don't they keep books
either?
The stub ought to show the number of this
dreadful bale, and the books Of D. & P, and
also of the Railroad, ought to show to achat
place on this earth that calamitous bale
started.
Who personated Kirksey? Who repre-
sented himself as the ass gnee of the ware
house receipt? How was the seller paid, by
check or IN cash!
Mr. Gurr says that D. & P. destroyed the
warehouse receipt.
Why destroy paper Of that kind, when it
was not presented by the original holder, and
when it was the only evidence which Dunn &
Pinkston could produce as proof Of what dis
position they had made of this alarmlngly
skittish bale of cotton?
IF all the different tales that have been told
about this matter could be pieced together, all
in row, and all visible at the same time my
opinion is that it would go down in local
history as the most peculiar, eccentric,
sporadic, and wholly unaccountable bale of
cotton that ever grew in Dixie.

Notes ON Affairs i'm Georgia.
CONTINUED FROM PAGE SIX

My purpose in making the proposition of
Sept. 1, 1904, had been to eliminate the negro,
so that white men could differ politically, and
vote those differences, without running the
risk of having the negro used as Umpire of
the white mans dispute.
My plan has proved success.
Only 1000 negroes are registered in Geor
ga and they never cast q cote IN State ezec
tiOnS.
Very few black men can now be persuaded
to vote, even in nationaloelections.
Therefore, the old bugaboo of Negro
Domination is gone. 1t served the selfish
purposes of Democratic bosses for many and
many year, but 1t IS gone, FOREVER.
Consequently, if we had two, or three, or
four white parties contending for the cleo
toral vote of our State, the supremacy of the
whites would not be jeopardized in the least.
More than half of the electoral votes neces-
sary to elect a President belong to us, here
in the South, but they are not worth a hill
of beans to us, because they are considered
the fped asset Of one party.
If our 1G5 electoral votes were known to
be doubtful, we would have the same con
sideration shown us that is shown to such
doubtful States as Indiana, Ohio, New York,
Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.
