as commissioner of organized base

proving too heavy a burden for his
physical constitution.
He said: There are not enough
hours in the day for all Of these &C.
tivities. Therefore, have forward
ed my resignation to the president,

COTTON MARKET Up !,
SID A BALE SINCE !
LAST Of JANUARY
Liverpool Futures From 20
to 26 Points Better Than
Due-October Passes H.
Cent Level 4

New York cotton futures followed
a sharp advance registered by Liver
pool Monday morning and a few
minutes after the opening active OPP
tons were from IL to 20 points above
the previous close and climbing
steadily.
LIVERPOOL futures were from 20 to
&c points higher than due and sales
were $4,000 bales, the largest in
many weeks.
May futures in New York passed
the 1S-cent level and October passed
the 17-cent level. March was 1888
and July 1857.
The proximity of March notice day
both in New Orleans and New York,
and the general belief that all tend
ders will be stopped, had a healthy
effect and put longs in a good posi-
ton to advance values. Shorts were
forced to cover as deliveries scored
new high levels for the movement.
The entire list was $40 a bale above
quotations on the last day of Jam
uary.
Continued buying pressure sent
March to 1910, May to 1920, July
to 1910, and October to 17.15, at
which point the usual profit-taking
became evident and prices eased off
slightly, though the market main
tanned strong undertone and Of
fering3 were quickly absorbed.
Later in the session most of the
pressure was directed at March, and
accordingly more distant deliveries
were allowed to sag somewhat, al
though values remained above the
previous closing figures, and the
market showed no indication or
weakening.
Reports that exporters were buy
ing heavily in the southwest en-
couraged longs, but there was some
trade realizing around 1920 for
May and 1910 for July, which had
a tendency to halt the general adj
vance. The prices, the top for the
session, marked a net advance or
from $11 to $12 a bale since the low
levels of last month.
There was an almost total abb
sence of selling pressure, except
for profittaking, which caused re-
| actions of from Is to 25 points from
| the crest. The market was steady
| at midday.
AS the close of the session drew
near bulls renewed their pressure
and new highs for the day and move
ment were recorded. May went to
1928, July to 1913 and October to
E.18.

WOMAN DIAMOND
THIEF ESCAPES
AFTER SENTENCE
Gladys Howard Locks Depu-
ties in Ante-room of Court
House and Makes Dash for
Liberty

Gladys Howard, alias Gladys Rog-
ers, was sentenced to twelve months
| on the state prison farm in superior
court Monday morning for the theft
| of a diamond ring from a local
| jewelry store. An hour later she
walked away from between two
| deputies in an ante room at the
courthouse and made her escape.
Court officials and county and city
police were combing the city for her.
After Judge John D. HUMPHREYS
| sentenced the girl, Deputies A. c.
tot and H. B. Bradley, took her to
a room in the rear Of the court
chamber. Betty Andrews, a leading
figure in th1 Frank 3. DuPre muir
der case, also was being held in
this room. The two women began
to talk.
The Howard woman slipped from
the room without attracting atten-
ton of the deputies, locking the door
behind her so they could not follow.
Reaching the ground floor of the
building she broke into run, at
tracing attention of Attorney Err
nest Buchanan, who knew her. He
hurriedly reported her escape,
she had left the vicinity before the
officers could give chase.
The charge of larceny against the
gil was reduced to a misdemeanor
by consent of counsel. She admitted
her guilt to the court and accepted
her sentence without display of en-
ton.
Detectives in Birmingham recov-
cred the ring some time ago and re-
turned it to the jewelry company.
The woman was arrested recently in
st. Louis by Pinkerton opera
tives and was brought back to
the city by City Detective Nick
Carter.
She was represented by Attorney
John Y. Smith.

GOVERNOR OPENS MEETING
OFAGRICULTURAL WORKERS
HOUSE LEADERS, SURE
Of PASSING BONUS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The
soldiers bonus situation had SIM
mered has down percepitably fol-
lowing the first reaction from Pres
ident Harding's suggestion that the
adjusted compensation be financed
by a sales tax or that the enactment
of the legislation be postponed,
! There was, however. no apparent
| slackening of the determination of
Republican house leaders to pass
the measure at this session.
Majority members of the house
ways and means committee were
called to meet Monday to tackle
the whole problem anew They
were expected to pass upon the leg
islative provisions of the measure
before going into the question of
ways and means of raisisg funds.
Proponents of a sales tax appear
ed to be confident that Republican
committeeman would decide on this
form of taxation as a means of rails
ing the approximately $S0O,OOO,OOO
that would be needed to cover the
cash payments as now provided Tor
in the measure. 1t was certain, how
ever, that the sales tax would not
be voted in without a sharp fight.
1t was said that any sales tax
adopted would not be a general one.
A manufactures tax similar to that
proposed by Senator Smoot, Repuh-
lican, Utah, and rejected by the
senate during consideration of the
tax revision bill was one of the
suggestions advanced. 1t was
claimed that this tax at a rate of
one per cent would raise the amount
of money required.
Several other forms of a sales tax
are known to be under consideration
and it is not expected that there
will be a hasty decision as to any
of them. 1t was learned that the
treasury experts recently had pre-
pared form of sales taxes which its
commissioners contend can be cas-
lily administered and can mot be
evaded.
Whether a bonus bill with a sales
tax attached could be put through
the house still seemed to be a moot
question, some leaders declaring
that the situation in this respect
was one defying analysis at this
time. Meantime, farm organiza-
tions continued their attack on this
tax. Gray Silver, Washington rep
resentative of the American Farm
Bureau federation, addressed a let
ter to each member of congress pro-
testing against it.
Takes are already e. eedingly
high" the letter said, "and a sales
tax would only mean further bur-
den upon the average individual,
and when we stop to consider that
the average income of each man,
woman and child in this country
whose income is below the income
tax level is only 1888 year, the
American Farm Bureau federation:
believes it would be a rank injustice
to raise further revenue for the sol
diers' bonus by this method. 1t
would take away from these people
any prospect of accommodating a COM
petence no matter how small and
would blight their hopes of better
ing their conditions.

Going to Death Chair

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 18.-"I

These were the last words utter
ed by Asbury Fields, convicted as
the slayer of J. r. Pierce, of Bradley
county, as he met his death in the

He was entirely calm and COM
posed as he took his seat in the

A thirty day reprieve was granted
Fields recently by Governor Taylor,
in order that the doomed man
might make his peace with his
Maker" but further executive &C.
ton was not taken.
Fields was the second white man
to be electrocuted in Tennessee, the
first, John Green, having paid the
extreme penalty yesterday morning.
Ten days hence, four ether white
men are scheduled to meet the same
fate unless executive clemency pre-
vents.

Agricultural Authorizes al
Athens and Elsewhere Fear
That the Creamery DeveI-
opnnent May Be 0verdOne
Before Dairying Is Fully
Developed - Roland Tur-
ner Talks
BY RALPH SMITH.

There is a probability that the
creamery business in Georgia may
be overdone, if, indeed, such isn't
already the case. Twelve creamer-
les have been installed in various
localities, and not one of them is
able to secure enough sweet or sour
cream to keep it's churns going
regularly.
Realization of the danger of over
doing the creamery industry caused
the recent farm conference at
Athens to adopt resolutions designed
to discourage the establishment OF
additional industries of the kind.
Authorities at the state college, and
others familiar with conditions,
recognize that dairying in Georgia
is practically undevelOped and that
there are not enough mich cOWs@to
warrant the indiscriminate estab-
lishment of enterprises to handle
their output.
The following creameries already
have been established:
The Ashburn Creamery at Ash
burn.
The Belmont Creamery at Atlanta.
The Dalton Creamery at Dalton.
The Purity Ice Cream and Cream
cry at Rome.
The College Cooperative Cream
cry at Athens.
The HawkinsvilIe Creamery at
Hawllinsville.
The Columbus Creamery at Co
lumbus.
The Moultrie Creamery and Pro
duce company at MOultrie.
The Geeslin Creamery at Dublin.
The Ezell-Griffin Creamery at
Eatonton.
The Statesboro Creamery at
Statesboro.
The Georgia-Carolina Cream Prod
ucts Creamery at Augusta.
A glance at the accompanying
outline map of Georgia discloses
that there isn't q farmer in the
state who isn't within 100 miles of
a creamery-a fact that should en-
courage the development of dairy
| ing, because, as has been remarked
frequently, creamerie5 afford a
| ready cash market for both sweet
and sour cream.
Endangers Profitable Operation.
The danger from the establish-
ment of so many creameries lies in
! the fact that many, or all of them,
may be forced to suspend through
! their inability to secure enough
"raW material to make their opera
ton profitable, or even self-sus-
tanning.
When Selma, Ala, entered upon
the creamery business seven years
ago as a means of providing against
| hn inv Gil Of in
| Alabama's biggest cotton county,
one small creamery was established
at a cost of $4,000. Before a cent
of money was invested in the ma
! chinery, however, the creamery
management contracted for the
product of 1900 mich COWS in
Dallas county. They confidently be-
lieved that 500 cows would supply
| them with an abundance of raw
material to keep their little churn
! busy.
But they reckoned wrong at
Selma. They found that the product
of the 1900 COWS wasn't enough to
| keep the little churn going, and it
was not until the bankers and bust
ness men helped the farmers restoc1
| their farms with real, purebred cows
that the creamery industry got on
its feet.
There are thousands of COWS in
Georgia today-cows of d sort-but
there are relatively few pure-bred
cows, the sort that give lots of milk,
rich in it's butter fat content. The
establishment of creameries before

BIRMINGHAM MASS
MEETING FOR FORD

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 20
(By the Associated Press.)-At a
mass meeting here Sunday after
noon presided over by Ex-Governor
company, bidder for Muscle Shoals,
was denounced by speakers and the
name of Henry Ford, who has also
made a proposal to the government
for the properties, repeatedly
cheered. The meeting was held in
a theater, the crowd being so large
that several hundred persons were
unable to find seats.
Ex-Governor O'Nea1 denounced a
statute of the state of Alabama
which exempted the Alabama Power
company from taxation for a period
of ten years. He said that it was
his information that seventeen
members of the state senate are on
the payrolls of the power company"
He added that the pockets of the
Alabama Power company are "bulg-
ing with spoils taken from the tax
payers"
"Side-Swipe at, Ford"
A telegram was read from Con-
| gresham George HuddlestOn, Civ
ing assurance of his accord with
the purpose of the meeting. 1.-THE
power company's Offer" he said,
lis merely a side-sWipe at Ford. No
patriotic Albanian should hesitate
to put strength behind the accept
ance of the Ford offer"
The response shown by the people
of Alabama indicates, said ex-Gov-
ernor O'Neal, that they have not
retired since the Alabama Power
company submitted a bid, and that
they are not willing to turn over
| the Muscle Shoals property to a
gigantic water-power trust" He
| traced the development of the Mus
Gle Shoals project and told of the
uses that can be made of nitrogen.
Criticizes Weeks
"Henry Ford" he said, ''is seek
| ing to become a benefactor by Civ
ing employment and increasing the
wages of the nation and not by in
creasing his own wealth"
The dream of the Alabama Power
company has been for years to get
control of Muscle Shoals, according
to the speaker. "In their desire, -
he added, they found a willing ally
in Secretary of War Weeks" whom
he criticized for his "cold treatment
of Henry Ford" and for his "dilly-
dallying tactics.
1.-The only purpose of the Ala
bama Power company" continued
the formre governor, Gin submitting
the bid was to increase the wealth
of it's English and Canadian stock
holders. Where did the Alabama
Power company get the money to
develop the shoals? They admitted
that they did not have it. Why,
they found willing allies in the gun
powder trust, the fertilizer trusts
and other Wall street monopolies.' -
