COTTON MEN START
DRIVE ON MONDAY
Association Believes That Goal OF
Million Members Will Be
Reached BY October /.

Atlanta Aug. 1.-THE biggest con-
certed driver ever made in the south
in any cause is>nGw at the moment
of launching, as the membership cam
paign of the American Cotton asso
citation awaits the final approval of
the campaign executive committee,
which meets in the Atlanta headquar-
tiers of the association this morning.
Harvey j. Hill, one Of the most
prominent campaign directors i'll
America, who is to direct the present
drive, has been in consultation with
association officials for the past three
days. The working organization is
practically complete, with very strong
departments for publicity, field work
ers, direct mail propaganda and every
thing necessary to a successful cam
paign.
Theassertion is confidently made
that the goal of million members
will be reached by October 1, the
limit of the campaign; with a foun-
dation laid for securing the member
ship of every man who raises or sells
a bale of cotton in the south.
The Georgia division, which will
conduct its own state campaign un-
der the supervision of the national
committee, is practically organized.
J. A. Davis, the secretary-treasurer
who is in charge of the preliminary
drive for financing memberships, has
already been assured of the most
cordial support. 1t is probable that
Georgia will be one of the very first
states to complete it's quota, if pres
ent indications are to be believed; anC
the state officials are renewing their
efforts. as the campaign now becomes
widespread over Dixie, to have the
Empire State of the South in its
rightful phase at the head of the pro-
cession in point of membership.

from the north at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon, in the wake of an intense
heat wave The storm spent its force
in the vicinity of Forsyth, where it
tore down both of the high transmits
sion lines of the Central Georgia Pow
err Company, stripping Macon of its
electric current for three hours.
The private telephone wires of the
power company were also carried
down by the storm and unable to To-
cate the trouble the company dispatch
ed men in automobiles to attempt to
make temporary repairs. In the mean
time, the steam plants were pressed
into service. Shortly after O'Clock
last night current from these plants

and supplemented the current for
street lighting and for manufacturing
establishments.

hurt in the storm that broke near
Forsyth.
At 7:45 o'clock another storm, more
serious in character, broke over Mil

rooted trees and unroofed number
of buildings. No one was killed in

road from Gri in to Macon the storm
threatened to break over the train,
but the train appeared to keep ahead
of it.

AUCUSTAN KILLED BY
OLD GUN IN CLOSET
Death of w. 3. Brigham, Jr., at Home
of His Mother, Believed to
Have been Accident.

Augusta, Aug. 10-Walter B.
Brigham, Jr., was found at 1920
o'clock this morning in large closet
at the home of Mrs. W. B. Brigham,
Sr., his mother, on Carolina Heights,
just across the Savannah river, dying
from a gunshot wound in the left
chest just above the nipple, Death en-
sued an hour later, shortly after his
physician had reached him.
MI Brigham was about "a years of
age. He was the surviving partner of
W. B. Brigham & Son, wholesale gro
GERS. His father died in June, and
the son was continuing the business.
Mr. Brigham had been in i'll health
for some time. Latterly he had great
ly improved. Yesterday he, with his
brother, planned business matters for
the coming week Leaving the break
fast room this mornin, he said he was
to search in closet on the same floor
for hat which his father had bought
but had not work
A few minutes later the report of a
discharged gun was heard. His
brothers found Mr.. Brigham wounded
and unconscious No one had known
that the gun was in the closet. The
family say they have no information
how the discharge of the gun occur
red. They know of no reason that
could have suggested self-destruction.
One theory advanced by his brother
is that while delving in the closet, Mr..
Brigham picked up the gun, a single
barrelled old-fashioned affair, and that
it was exploded by it's hammer becom-
ing caught in clothing in the closet.

The wizard Of the road pulled out of Gotham at 9:SS last Sunday night and is due here Sat urday night, according to schedule. The mark he is shooting at is ' days, Is hours, 16 minutes.
 With two months of the most exact l ing preparation behind him, Baker is 1 practically certain to get the coveted record barring accident. On his last trial.

 week of transcontinental punishment
 but with his almost supernatural stam- y bN i found, he will be the favorite with the insiders to cop the championship. Further arrivals of the gasoline glad

TRIES TO KEEP
 EMP5EY FR0M
 HAND bANDACES

TOLEDO, June 19.-Jack Dempsey will not be permitted to enter the ring against Jess Willard here July 4, with heavily taped hands, if Willard can prevent it. The champion announced tonight he intended to request the To- ledo boxing commission and the ref cree to rule that he and Dempsey go to the ringside with nothing at all on their hands and have the tape put on while in their corners.
 The champion declared himself in favor of plain cotton bandages, with possibly couple layers of surgical tape wrapped around to hold the band ages in place.
 That is all care to use and I think Dempsey should feel the same way about it." Willard said. q believe it always looks bad to the spectators to see boxer come into the ring with his hands looking as hard as a club because protected by some heavy ma terial.'
 Jack Kearns, manager of the chal- lenger, said he was willing to abide by the decision of the boxing com mission on choice of the referee: and that he was willing to have the band aging done while in the ring. In the sun, Dempsey pulled on the gloves today for the first time since Monday and stepped two spirited rounds with Terry Kellar before the motion picture man. The workout was staged especially for the movies. but Manager Kearns announced the chal- l lenger would settle down to hard train l ing again on Saturday.
 The challenger's eye, cut 10 days 1 ago, is entirely healed. The lay-off l did not seem to have affected Demp- sey's judgment of distance or the tim ing of the blows and Kellars lips and nose were puffed after the workout
 Willard boxed eight rounds, in addi- tion to round of shadow boxing and 1 two rounds of other exercise.
 Jack Heinen was the victim of an- other right hand uppercut, but he man aged to keep his feet After the work | out Willard sealed PAS pounds Matt Henekel of Cleveland, who was | alternate referee for the Willard John son fight at Havana, saw Willard in action this afternoon and declared that the champion boxed with greater speed than when in training in Cuba

Dempsey prize fight in Toledo July 4. The general impression, however, it that Governor Cox will not interfere Lieutenant Governor Brown stated he had no legal authority to act.
 "The matter rests in the hands of the governor the lieutenant governor said.
 At the executive office, it was stated, the policy heretofore followed would be pursued and that Governor Cox would have no statement to make even though he were here.
 Attorney General Price would make no statement on the question of the governors authority to stop the fight.
 The resolution declares the fight promoters have failed to obtain per , mission for the exhibition in "all of North America, except Ohio and Old Mexico,' and asks the governor to fol | low precedents of former governors in upholding the fair name of the state of Ohio and to take proper steps to prevent the taking place of the pro- | posed prize fight within the confines of the state of Ohio.' The resolution | also. declares such exhibitions as the l proposed bout are brutal in their na- 1 ture and not conducive of good nor 1 als'
 The Dunn bill, which was defeated | in the lower house, and the Pearson resolution of today, divided the legis- l lature along sharp political lines. | Democratic members declared the pur- pose of both the bill and the resolu-
 tion was solely to bring political em-
 barrassment to Governor Cox. This
 accusation was denied by republicans
 A joint resolution that would have re-
 quired senate concurrence was intro
 duced first. This failed on a strict
 party vote. The resolution then was
 offered as a house resolution anC
 adopted without a record vote. While the proposed fight is said tC
 conform technically to the state box ing laws, republican leaders declare tn
 governor could prevent the fight if h ] so desired, on the ground that it is il , reality to be a championship fight
 held under the guise of a boXin exhibition. Democratic leaders ar equally as strong in their contentio that the proposed exhibition is to be
