GAINESVILLE, Ga, February 25.-The

has been made to yield the right of
Pike cpunty under the rotation system
to name the senator this year from the
Twenty-second district, in order that
Senator G. Ogden Persons may be re-
turned for another term One of the
reason given in the editorial is that
Senator Persons will very likely there

the governorship in the race two years
from now.
The proposition to give Senator
Persons another term in the Senate is

Atlanta, Feb. 28.-John Murray, OF
Bakersvllle, an aged and we'll known
Georgia, when recently compelled to
submit to the amputation Of his foot
insisted on having it severed without
the aid Of any anesthetic.
The old man gritted his teeth and
watched the doctors as they cut
through the flesh and bone as thew
used to in the old days before the
discovery of ether.
The operation was entirely success
full and Mr.. Murray recovered, but
few days afterward he began to
have excruciating pains which seemed
to be localized beyond the end Of the
severed limb, just where the foot used
to be. The amputated foot was dug
up, carefully Strengthened out, wrap
ped in cotton and re-buried, with the
result that Mr.. Murray is now resting
in perfect comfort w. H. Walton

Washington, D. c. Feb. 26.-Dem-
ocrats of the house from the cotton
growing states held conference at
the house office building tonight and
determined TO urge congress to investi-
gate the New York cotton exchange

conspiracy to depress the price of cot
ton. 1t was also agreed to propose
a bill to further regulate cotton ex-
changes.

charging that the New York cotton ex-
change had "defrauded the producers
OF cotton out of millions of dollars on
the crop of 1915 by unfair manipula-
ton of prices" and authorizing the
chairman, Representative Heflin of
Alabama, to appoint committee to
draft and introduce in congress reso-
luton calling for IAN immediate, full
and complete investigation of the New

pose by the chairman.
The text of the resolution follows:
Whereas the New York cotton ex-
change has been manipulated so as to
depress the cotton market and pre-
vent prices warranted by supply and
, demand; and
X Whereas, by unfair manipulation
Pc of the price of the future contract
sts as to keep it below the price of
Ct ton in the spot markets of the
south; and,
Whereas, such price Juggling and
manipulation disc1oses crooked deal
ing and unfair methods in influencing
cotton prices; and,
Whereas, the unfair manipulation
of prices said exchange has defrauded
the producers of cotton out of mil
lions of dollars on the crop of 1915:
and,
Whereas, the belief exists among
producers OF cotton and Others en-
gagged in the cotton business that
there is bear conspiracy among GER
tain spectators on the New York cot
ton exchange to depress and hold
down the price of cotton; and.
Whereas, the necessity exists for
further and better regulation of cotton
exchanges so as to confine future
dealing to fair and Legitimate specu1-
lation;

Therefore, credit comes not by rlght
but simply by courtesy Why do the
people in this community and in ey-

Barlow, Especial to the Telegram),
Oct. pa matter of considerable po-

come to light, when at a meeting OF
the County Commissioners held, at
Barlow this week, it was found that
the Republican candidates for County
Commissioner and School Board had
not designated the District from
which they were candidates, and,
therefore, according to law, their
names will be left off Of the ballot at
the general election on November 7th,
unless steps are taken at once to
bring the matter before the Circuit
Court, now in session, the time limit
having expired in which names may
be placed on the ballot otherwise.
In preparing the Republican Coun,
ty Ticket Attorney l.. c. Johnson
found only four names certified to
as candidates for County Commission
er. There are five Districts and OF
the four names furnished no one is
designated for any special District
For member of the School Board
three names are given, but no desig
nation as to the District for any one
of them Mr.. Johnson cannot pu
these names on the ticket in this way
and he will at once notify the Republi
can Committee in charge, 50 that the.
can at once take steps as they ma.
see fit while Court is in session. What
ever is to be done has to be dom
soon as copy for the printer must b.
