King Of Moonshiners
Announces Ready to
Begin Long Sentence

John Henry Hardin, Of Cherokee
county, known in federal court cir
cles as the king of Moonshiners, }"
walked into the office of United
States Marshal Claude Bond, Tues
day morning, with the laconic an
nouncement that he was ready to be-
gin serving the sentences standing
against him in the United States
courts.
On last Saturday he was served
with an order directing him to ap-
pear to begin services of the two
sentences-one for two years on a
charge of bribery, and the other for
fifteen months on a charge of violat-
ing the national prohibition, act. The
United States circuit court OF ap
peals last week denied his applica
ton for a new trial in both cases.
Hardin was found guilty in Octo
Der, 1920, for attempted bribery OF
Prohibition Agent E. E. Dixon, and
last January he was convicted on
the prohibition charge. A fine OF
$1,000 was imposed also in the brib
ery case and 500 fine in the pro
hibition case.
Hardin, who is around fifty years
of age, plead guilty in the fedora
court Tuesday morning on another
prohibition charge, and drew fine
Of $50, following plea for lenlency
by United States District Attorney
Hooper Alexander who told the
court that Hardin already had lone
sentences against him.

Charles FAILING,
TRIES. To KILL SELF

BUDAPEST, Oct. 26.-By the AS.
ISOLATED ess.)-F'ormer Emperor
Charles, whose attempt to re-estab-
lish upon the Magyar throne met
with dismal failure yesterday. at
tempted to commit suicide by shoot
ing following his arrest near Ko-
morn. Former Empress Zita saw
him preparing to shoot himself and
prevented from carrying out his
intention.
The former emperor and empress
now are prisoners in the Esterhazy
castle at Tata-ToVaros, and Thomas
Beaumont Hohler, British high COM
missioner in Hungary, is hurrylng
there, with the representatives or
other nations, to insure the safety
of the prisoners.
Orders sent to the rebellious
troops, supporting Charles, by Ad-
miral Horthy, the Hungarian regent,
spelled the doom of Charles attempt
to regain at least a part of his
former empire. The regent remind
ed the soldiers of their oath of al
Iegiance to him and demanded their
unconditional obedience, adding that
the success of their undertaking
would mean the ruin Of the country
The firm standing of Admiral Horthy
had it's effect and the rOyalist forces
scattered. seeming to vanish into
thin air. Latest advices from the
section of country around komofn
indicated the government troops con
tinued their pursuit of the royalist
and that the Carlist premier, M
Rakovsky, and Count Andrassy were
among the supporters of the former
monarch captured by the loyal
troops.
Charles plan to return to the Hun
garian throne having failed, the
Hungarian government probably will
await action by the allied powers
regarding his future place of resi-
dencc. 1t is known that SW1tzer-
land will not again give him refuge,
and it is possible that he will be
removed to some place where he
will be virtually prisoner of the
allied powers.

School Children Find
20 Dynamite Sticks
In Abandoned Sewer

Twenty sticks of dynamite wrap
ped in brown paper on which had
been drawn a rough diagram of At
lanta, Birmingham and Atlantic and
Southern railroad tracks were found
Monday afternoon by school chill
dren in an abandoned sewer near
the English Avenue school,
j Detectives investigating the case
discovered Tuesday that 800 pounds
OF dynamite are missing from the
Bellwood quarry of the Georgia
Railway and Power company. The
officers are working on the theory
that the explosive found Monday
afternoon is part of the 800 pounds
stolen from the power company's
quarry.
The diagram crudely drawn with
q pencil, is believed by detectives to
indicate points on the two railroads
where dynamite could be placed in
an attempt at train wrecking. Since
the general strike on the A, B. & A.
r. r. last March. several wrecks
have occurred, apparently caused by
dynamite explosions. The most re-
cent was that occurring in a cut be-
tween Atlanta and Fairburn, in
which a freight train was wrecked,
killing the engineer.
Colonel B. l.. Bugg, receiver for
the A, 3. & A. r. r., expressed the
opinion Tuesday that the theft of
the explosive and the pencilled dia-
gram on the wrapping of the twen-
ty sticks found, was the work of a
crank. This view is held by the de-
tectives, who are endeayoring to as
certain what persons have access to
the dynamite magazine at the Bell
wood quarry.
The dynamite found in the Eng
fish avenue sewer was sufficient to
blow up the Gambler building, ac-
cording to explosives experts con.
suited by the authorities.

Life Sentences
ForCrawLeyBoys;;
Sister Acquitted

BLAIRSVILLE, Ga, Oct. 20
Life sentences were imposed yester-
day upon George and Decatur Craw-
ley, young mountaineer brothers of
Union county, following an agree
ment whereby the two defendants en-
tered pleas of guilty to the charge
of shooting and killing United States
Deputy Marshal Ben F. Dixon two
years ago.
Through the same agreement,
Blair Stuart, their cousin, was given
a term of ten years in prison on the
charge of manslaughter in connec-
ton with the Dixon shooting. Rose
Crawley, their sister, was acquit-
ted.
The verdicts were directed by the
presiding judge after an agreement
between Solicitor General A. c. Col
Inns and the defendants attorneys,
Hughes Spalding and John Sibley.
of Atlanta, and Newt Morris, Of Ma
rietta.
The termination Of the trial Tues
day marked the end Of one of Geor-
gas most sensational murder cases.
After the killing of Deputy Dixon,
force of troops was sent to take
the Crawley boys, but was unsuc-
cessful in capturing them in the
mountain retreat. Other posses
failed also, the arrest finally being
made single-handed by Glenn Young,
Of the department Of justice.
AT the first trial in October, 1919,
all four defendants were found guilty
OF murder. The Crawley boys were
sentenced to hang and Rose Craw-
ley and Blair Stuart were sentenced
to life terms. The supreme court
confirmed the yerdicts after an ap-
peal but an extraordinary motion,
based on a plea that a juror was
a relative of Dixon, finally resulted
1E the second trial.

BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Another
Watsonian broadside against Cover

and J. J. Brown, commissioner OF
agriculture, is carried in the Column
bia Sentinel, the newspaper organ OF
Senator Thomas E. Watson, in Its
regular weekly issue Of Wednesday
afternoon. While copies of these at
lacks could not be obtained here
Wednesday from the Georgia sena-
tors office, it is understood that Sen
ator Watson holly replies to Cover
nor Hardwicks statement published
in the Georgia papers of last Sum
day. In this reply, Mr.. Watson
makes it plain that his criticisms
included Governor Hardwick as well
as the legislature, and he reiterates
and amplifies his allegations in his
previous attack.
Turning to Commissioner j. j..
Brown, the Columbia Sentinel

who are henchmen of Commissioner
Brown and cogs in his machine. and
that the Brown tactics have alienat-
ed the federal government in aiding

Governor Hardwick and the state

NEW YORK FUTURES
ADVANCE So To 81
PER BALE ON REPORT
Government Bureau Shows
5,477,397 Bales Ginned
to October 18-Georgia
637,129 Bales

Cotton futures in New York and
New Orleans advanced sharply on
the opening Tuesday. morning on
the strength of the government re-
port on ginning to October IS. show
ig a total of 5,477,397 bales against
5,754,5S2 in 1920 and 4,999,104 in
1919. The figures for Georgia were
637, 1929 bales.
New York was up from so to 80
points and New Orleans showed
gains Of from 73 to 107 points over
the closing figures of Monday. In
dollars and cents, the advance in
New York represented So to 81 per
bale, and in New Orleans from $500
to 5 bale.
In New York, October contracts,
which closed Monday at 18.49, open
ed up only one point, but soon ad-
vanced to 1915. December was
high at 1927 after having opened
up 20 points at 1875, and the latest
quotation up to the time this edi-
ton went to press was 1920. Janu-
airy again passed the 15-cent level
being high at 1906. March. which
closed Monday lat. 1911, went to
1888. May jumped from 1857 to
18.49, and July advanced from 1927
to Is cents, later selling off to
1876.
Based on the last bureau report
which estimated the yield at $751;
600 bales, there yet are 1,060,703
bales to be ginned. The largest gin
ming figures for the same date were
7,303,1S3 in 1916. The government
did not alter it's previous estimate
of 42.2 on condition.
The report was a distinct shock
to the short interests and sur
prise to the trade in general, which
had been prepared for ginning of
about $500, 900 to $500, 900, bales and
the report of less than 100000 bales
coupled with the governments reit-
Grafton of the September rs condi-
ton report proved a disappointment
to recent sellers.
The report, which came with the
opening of the market, found it in
a position to respond readily to short
figures because of the fact that it
was as much oversold at this time
as it was over Thought around
the twenty and twenty-one-cent
level. 1t was distinctly bull day
and long interests lost no time in
making the best of the opportunity
to push active deliveries to from
100 to 145 points from the low levels
of last week.
The advance, of course, attracted
realizing and there was enough prof.
it-taking to check the upward move
ment and cause some irregularity.
The market. however, hardened on
renewed bull support and around
II 80 Atlanta time was holding well
around the high marks Of the ses.
sion. October was 1920, December
1925, January 1906, March 1886,
May 1887 and July IS cents, the
movement taking three options
above the nineteen-cent level again
and the distant deliveries above the
eighteen-cent mark.
Another factor in the advance was
higher Liverpool cables than expect
ed and talk of a better political sit
uation in Europe.
New York futures closed at the
top figures for the session at net
gains Of from $3.50 to $4.25 per bale
over Mondays last, and Atlanta
spot cotton, following the advance,
Jumped $3.50 per bale to 1885. New
York spots were up seventy-tlVe
points at 1875, and New Orleans
showed a like gain at nineteen cents.
