HON. JAS. B. FRAZIER
TALKS TO VOTERS HERE
Defends Wilson's Administra-
ton and Pleads For Sup
port of Nominees

Hon. James B. Frazier, speak
ing in the interest of the Demo-
cratic ticket, addressed repre-
sentative audience in this city
Tuesday afternoon. He spoke in
the circuit court room. Attorney
Frank E. Bryant presented Mr..
Frazier who was greeted with
applause as he rose to speak.
Mr.. Frazier paid a high tri-
butte to the Democratic admins
tration, and appealed for support
for the entire ticket from Wilson
on down. He reviewed the
Democratic record and cited
facts as reasons for it's continual
tion in power.
He made convincing state
ments on the federal reserve
system, rural credit system,
preparedness measures, eight
hour law. good roads law and
income tax law. Mr.. Frazier
having served in the United
States Senate is familiar with
the questions of national impor.
tanee, and presented them to his
hearers in a logical manner. /.
His tributes to President WIN
son met with hearty applause,
as did his illusions to former
Republican administrations. He
criticised Mr.. Hughes severely
for his methods of campaigning
and lodging of issues.
All in all, Mr.. Frazier's speech
was we'll delivered and well re.
ceived. 1t was not so much
suggestive of oratory, but more
of hard, logical facts, presented
with force that pleased and
convinced his hearers.

COTTON CONTINUES TO
POUR IN At LOCAL GIN,
HALF CROP DELIVERED
This Seasons Crop Estimated
At About 100000 Pounds
Quality Good
PRICE HAS ADVANCED FROM
5l-4TO CENTS A POUND
Deliveries For Past Month
Break All Previous
Records

The heavy deliveries of cotton
to the gin for the past thirty
days has not lessened during the
past week. The best of weather
conditions for the picking and
hauling of the large cotton crop,
together with the high price be-
ing paid for cotton, is the cause
of the unprecedented deliveries
this season.
The season opened more than
month ago with cotton selling
at 5 Ia cents, and the price has
steadily climbed until it has now
reached z cents. The OPEN
ing price was the best that has
been paid for many years and a
large amount of cotton was de-
livered at this price.
Up to the present time more
than 100000 pounds of cotton
has been delivered to the gin in
this city, 10000 pounds of this
amount was delivered during the
past week. $4,000 pounds was
sold here last Saturday. 342
bales have been put up by the
local gin this season.
The amount Of cotton already
delivered is estimated to be
about one-half of the crop in this
county.
The tobacco market is showing
signs of activity as the dealers
and contractors are making prep
arations for the handling of this
years crop. The Henry county
production this year is estimated
to be about rs per cent more
than previous years, or more
than 5000, 600 pounds. Indica.
tion are that prizes will be bet.
ter than for the past few years,
but as the market is still un.
steady it is impossible to state
with any degree of certainty
what will be offered.

the Third and Thirtieth regulars,
one squadron of regular artillery,
one squadron regular cavalry,
two engineer companies and the
signal corps, Maryland field hos
pital, etc., came in Friday after
noon from a seven-day hike to
Spofford and return. They were
tired and dirty, but happy. The
last day in they marched sixteen
miles. The officers are all well
pleased with the manner in
which the maneuvers were car
ried out and the efficiency of the
men.
1t was truly a trip through a
country destitute of food and
water, which made it very hard
on the men but an experience of
great value from a militrry point
of view as it gave them an idea
of what real war would be like.
The men stood the trip well, es-
pscially the First Tennessee
boys, who could not be beaten in
a great many respects. They
were quick to get into action,
took cover well and maintained
their military bearing and discip-
line at all times.
The Tennesseans were strictly
on the job in hiking. hunting
Snakes and cussing. They aver
agsabout twenty-five snakes to
the company per day, with a lot
of skunks, horned toads, etc.,

The Only Answer.

President Wilson, according to press
dispatches late yesterday. has decided
to inform Germany that her reply on
the submarine controversy will be &C
cepted and no further action will be
taken by the United States so long
as submarine commanders obey the
instructions reported to have been
given them.
But he will make ii plain that Amer
lea will take no dictation from Ger

ton.

United States may, in street parlance
tell England where to head in" But
Germany has nothing to do with thai

II will be noted there is almost as

That Dorsey Candidacy.

We are not in the le1st surprised
that Hugh Dorsey has seen fit to an
nounce his candidacy for the governor
snip. Frankly. we had hoped that he
would not do so; that 1t would dawn
upon him that he was being used as a
cats-paw and for the specific purpose
OF removing the chestnuts Of others

simultaneously with Mr. Dorsey end
like ninety per cent Of other Geo--
gians, he only camk TO our attention
through the medium of the Frank
case. However, we have come to
regard him as rather an able young
man. who could be depended upon
to do his duty at all times and in the
stress Of all sorts OF circumstances.
This is unquestionably the era of the
young man in Georgia politics, as was
evidenced at the state convention
in Macon the other day. when the old
timers were relegated and the active
young manhood of the state Democra-
cy took charge If Dorsey had only
waited his opportunity; if he had heed
cd the voice of his real friends and
well-wishers, he might yet have land
ed in the gubernatorial chair. But he
has yet TO learn that one defeat for
that Office in Georgia, in the very be-
ginning Of a political career, gener-
ally ends that careerl
There is nothing in the past record
of Mr. Dorsey that gives him any
great claim upon the Democratic par
ty of Georgia: young in years, the
party has already honored him. with
one OF the most lucrative Offices in
its possession. His sole claim to
fame is based upon his prosecution
of one case and case that has cost
Georgia much In dignity and in good
name, and through which, many of her
gtalwart sons have been driven to
acts of shame and OF degradation. In
deed. II were better far better had
the Frank case never occurred. to mar
and besmirch the good name of this
great commonwealth Yet, this candi-
date for governor, must know that his
candidacy will mean that this ghost
must be resurrected aud that the
whole nauseating case must again be
paraded before the people ef the state!

must know that the state of Georgia
is in great legal battle now with the

is the legal representative of the L.
4 N in Georgia and is regarded as

In the state! With these two sets of
circumstances staring him in the face,
we cannot but wonder, by what course
of reasoning young Mr. Dorsey has
persuaded himself to believe that he
has a scntilla OF chance to reach
the Office to which he aspires. What
we are saying. we are saying in a
spirit of absolute kindness for we
have no unkind thought for Hugh Dor
