MAKES
BOND; WOMANIS
STILL IN CELL

ATLANTA, Oct. 14.-Although
William B. Green, vice president of
the Fairburn Banking company, ac-
cused of embezzlement, has been re-
leased from the Fulton county Jail
on $4,000 bond, Mrs. Clarence Brad
street, "the woman in the case" is
still held behind the bars on sus-
picion.
Her husband, Clarence Bradstreet,
an ex-sergeant of the army, is also
held at the police headquarters, as
well as the colored chauffeur of the
couple.
Mrs. Bradstreet is the woman on
whom the Fairburn banker is sup
posed to have spent the money, and
who has confessed to receiving many
gifts, both of money, valuable jewelry
and clothing from him.
The bank, which has been ordered
temporarily closed pending a thor
ough audit of it's books by State Bank
Examiner w. J. Speer, has retained
Reuben Arnold, well known criminal
lawyer, to represent them in the pros
ecution of Green.
Green is now mayOr-elect of Fair
burn, superintendent of a Sunday
school and has served in the past as
alderman, city clerk and other public
posts of trust. Immediately after his
release from Jail, Green returned to
his home in Fairburn. He is married
and has one child, daughter about
eight years old.
81 deny absolutely any connection
with the robbing or the burning of
the FairBurn bank" said Green. "It is
an absurd story and nothing but a
frame-up. | am sure that the truth
will soon come out.

money on a number of occasions.
have called her Kitty and she has
called me Bill and have kissed her
several times, but there have been
no improper relations of any kind be-

CAR OF BURNING
COTTON RUSHED
HEREANDSAVED

With a carload of cotton worth
nearly $4,000 afre, northbound
freight train on the Central of Geor-
gia railroad last night raced into
Americus from the vicinity of Smith
vile, arriving in time to permit the
Americus fire department to save al
most the entire carload, the damage
being estimated by Fire Chief Nay
lor at 5000 to 81 900.
The engineer pulled his train to
such a position that the burning car
was standing at the McGarrah street
crossing, and the department was i'm
mediately called. When the men ar
rived the flames and smoke were pour
ing from the window in the front of
the car, and the interior was well
ablaze. The hose was thrust into
the window and the fire subdued, fol-
lowing which the sealed doors were
pulled open and the smouldering
bales thrown from the car. Of the
54 bales in the car, Is were badly
singed, but the damage to the others
was declared to have been limited to
scorching on the top. One end of
car was also damaged considerably.
The fire is believed to have orig
mated from sparks from the engine
falling through the open end of the
car.

cents was offered here for good md
ding spot. This was an increase OF
S. per bale or 1 cent per pound. 1t
was one of the best days the market
has seen in long time, although
it did not result in much selling
Although strong most of the entire
session, the market closed at the hlgn-
est point of the day. AS a result,
what cotton was sold went at frac-
tion under the highest mark for the
day.
Local cotton men are now expect
ing 35 cent cotton very shortly
possibly at once. Warehouse men
say there is some old crop cotton
on which they have standing orders
to sell at 35 cents. This is cotton
which has been held ever since early
last spring when the farmers agreed
among themselves to reduce their
acreage one-third and not sell their
cotton for less than 35 cents. Some
of them reduced their acreage, and
some held their cotton. 1t is now
believed that the faithful are about
to get the figure set as their minimum
at that time.

and bracing cars of potatoes, cabbage,
and the less perIshable fruits and
vegetables is necessary to prevent
damage In ordinary freight cars, 1t Is
far more necessary for highly perish
able products that move to market in
refrigerator cars, such as strawber-
ries, peaches, pears, grapes, lettuce,
and celery. Such products, even with
the best of care, may arrive at city
terminals in damaged condition caused
by delay In transportation, overripe-
ness, or disease developed in transit
because temperatures were not under
control while the cars were en- route.
Disease In Shipped Products.
In the case Of plant diseases de-
veloped in transit, there may not have
been any Indication that the disease
was present when the car was loaded,
and perhaps the shipper thought that
his crop was free from disease. Prop
er refrigeration-plen of ice and
air circulation-holds diseases In
check and unless long delays in tran
sit occur such perishable produce
might arrive in good condition. Such
shipments, however, often deteriorate
rapidly after being unloaded and must
be handled quickly and consumed be-
fore rot develops.
Through the food products inspec-
ton service of the department of agri-
culture, the facts concerning losses
through plant diseases developed In
transit are being studied and labora-
tories have been established at New
York and Chicago to work on these
diseases. Plant Psychologists now re-
port on shipments that develop dis
ease and this information is made
available to producers and shippers
where the fruit and vegetables were
grown, in order that prevention may
begin in the field and packing house
