NEW YORK COTTON

New York. Aug. 22.-The cotton
market was nervous and irregular to-
day, At the opening there was re
newal of scattered selling based on
the expectation of a favorable weekly
report from the weather bureau. Of
fei ings were very we'll taken at the
initial decline of about to 10 points,
however, and after selling at 1886
for October and 1915 for January,
the market rallied to 1896 and 1888
for these positions, or about Z to 8
points from the lowest.
Rallies Of a few points followed
publication of the weekly weather re-
port during the middle of the morn
ing with October selling up from
1881 to 1894, and January from
1855 to 1919. This bulge seemed to
attract increased offerings, although
the report was considered less favor
able than any of the three preceding
and the market weakened again late
in the morning. Continued reports Of
an easing spot basis seemed largely
responsible for the selling which car
ried October off to 1911 and January
to 1857 by midday, or about % to
80 points net lower.
There were further declines during
the early afternoon with October sell
ing off to 24.36 and January to 1886,
or about 40 to 81 points net lower.
This carried the market into new low
ground with most of the active posi-
tons at the lowest prices touched

steps would be taken to fix a settle
ment price for all September wheat
contracts outstanding August % in
readiness for governmental handling
of wheat after September /.

THE MARKETS
NEW ORLEANS COTTON

New Orleans, Aug. 22.-After hest
tating on the opening and rising 3

the first hour of business, the trad
ing months were II to p points under

Government which were rather more
favorable than expected. In the trad
inc up to noon, prices were put to a
net decline of 50 to IS points.

NAME SENT TO THE SENATE
As the Georgia Jurist Was on

nation.
nation.

Washington, Aug. 11.---President
Wilson today nominated Beverly D.
Evans. of Sandersville, Ga, to be
United States district judge for the
southern district of Georgia.
1t is believed here that the appoint
ment will end the embarrassing sit
uation which has occurred since the
untimely death Of Judge w. w. Lamb
lin in December, 1916. 1t will be re
membered that the president and the
Georgia senators could not agree on
this appointment, and in all three
names have been sent to the senate
by the white house, all of whom have
been rejected by the senate at the
instance of the Georgia senators. Con
gressman Frank Park was first ap-
pointed, then Judge d. u Whipple, of
Cordele. and finally Judge w. E.
Thomas, of Valdosta, all of them 60
ing the same route. The situation
had reached such a point a few weeks
ago that it looked as if there would
be no judge named to fill the va
cancy, when suddenly Senator Hard
wick sent to the attorney general a
list of twenty-ope. Georgia names.
stating that either of them would be
acceptable to both himself and Sen
ator Hoke Smith. Judge Evans was
among those listed, and it is believed
this will end the matter.
Something About the New Judge.
Beverly d. Evans was born at San
dersville May 81, 1865. In 1881 he
graduated at Mercer University with
the degree of A. B. and received the
degree of A. M. from tn same insti
tuition the succeeding year. He then
studied law at Yale and was admit
ted to the practice of law in July,
1884. In 1886 he was elected to the
state legislature; was a delegate tC
the democratic national convention
in 1883; served as solicitor general
from 1890 to 1897 in the middle cir
cult; was elected Judge of the same
circuit in 1899, and served until his
election to the office of associate
justice of the supreme court in 1904
He has served on the Georgia SUI
preme bench since that time, and has
earned for himself a splendid record
there.

SYMONs SUCCEEDS
MANGUM HERE
CHANGE MADE IN COMMAND OF
BRUNSWICK SECTION SIXTH
NAVAL DISTRICT.

Walter Mangum, for several months
in charge of the Brunswick section
of the Sixth naval district, leaves
this morning for Charleston and will
be succeeded in the command of the
Brunswick district by Ensign J. S.
M. Symons. These changes are made
by telegraphic direction from the
headquarters of the Sixth naval dis
trict at Charleston and the infOrma-
ton was received by both Lieut.
Mangum and Ensign Symons yester-
day
The Brunswick district is quite an
important assignment, and many de
tails of various kinds are constant
ly demanding the attention of the
commander Lieut.. Mangum has made
4 splendid official and under his per
sonal direction, the service and the
many other details have all been per-
fected to marked degree. He does
not yet know whether the change is
=
service he will be detailed. He has
merely received orders to the effect
that the change is made. Ensign
Symons is among the most prominent
young business men in Brunswick and
for years has been the local manager
of the Standard Oil company. When
war was declared with Germany, he
volunteered in the naval branch of
the service, and when the navy de-
partment concluded to name four en-
signs here in Brunswick, he was
among those appointed. He is splen
didly equipped for his new duties;
was formerly an officer in the old
Naval Reserves, and has had quite
a good deal of actual experience
aboard ship and in the land service
of the navy He will assume charge
of his oew duties at once.

CONFERENCE DATE
HAS Been CHANGED
SOUTH GEORGIA MEFHoDlsTS TO
Der IA INSTEAD OF DEC. S.
MEET IN ALBANY NOVEM

The following from the Albany
Herald will be of interest to Metho-
dists generally:
The fifty-frst session of the South
Georgia conference will convene in
Albany on November IA instead of
December 5, as heretofore announc-
ed The change in dates was made
by Bishop Gambler after consultation
with the presiding elders of the con-
ference and Rev. 10y Warwick, pas
tor of the local Methodist church. The
earlier date will be welcomed by the
people here and will suit the confer
ence at large. The time first set put
the meeting rather near the Christ
mas holidays.
There are nearly 225,OOO Metho-
dists in the North and South Georgia
conferences, about 100000 being in
the southern section. All the state
below Macon is in the bounds of the
South Georgia conference.
There will be 400 preachers and
lay delegates to attend the meeting
in Albany. The entire city will give
them welcome and see to it that
they have good entertainment
This is to be an important gather
ing of the Methodists of South Geor-
gia because the general conference
meets in Atlanta next year Six cler-
ical and six lay delegates will be
elected to represent South Georgia in
this great quadrennial gathering,
where bishops and other connections
al officers are elected and all the leg
islative work, is done for the church.

Washington, Aug. II. - General

fact that congress framed the draft

not of the individual For that rea-
son he pointed out that lines were

being placed on exemptions for indus

lead in the matter of asking for eX

government employees. District boards
all over the country are urged tC
make the governments action in the
matter a guide for them. All EN-

GERMAN ATTACK IS
CLOSELY WATCHED
TEUTONS MOVE FROM THREE d.
RECTlONS-RUSSIAN REGI-
MENT MUTINEER.

London, Aug. 11.-Military critics
here are watching with a great deal
of interest the German attacks in
ROumania.
The greater part of Moldavia, the
only part of the country remaining
in Roumanian hands, is being attack
ed from the north west and south by
the Germans.
The Russians and Roumanians are
losing ground on all sides, according
to the reports which are coming in.
The TeutOn thrust in the neighbor-
hood of Fokshani is a move of Sc
rious operations.
The Mariasetti railroad junction,
the possession of which is of the
greatest importance to the Rouma-
mans, seems to be in great jeopardy.
Attention is called to the absence
of the Russian official statement yes
terday, while the Roumanian report
does not appear to deal with the
latest of these developments.

GERMANS FORCED TO RETIRE
BY Associated Press.

The Russian armies continue to
show increased resistance power in
area of the Teutonic offensive in the
entire eastern front. In the west the
relentlessness OF the British French
pressure has shown results in more
recession of the German line in F'lat-
ders. The Teutonic attack in north
east Lemberg was a complete failure
and the Teutons are pressing the
Russo-Roumanians on three sides
The Germans are being met with a
stubborn resistance en- the Russo
Roumanian frontier. The Austro-
Germans on this front have been fore
ed to retreat and in one place lost
four hundred men taken as prison
ers
The offensive of General Macken-
sen in Moldavia threatens the railway
line along the front The advance
of the British in the Westhoek re-
gion of Flanders was maintained in
its entirety. Berlin, however, says
the British attack was unsuccessful.
