HARRIS PLANS TO
SPEAK IN GEORGIA
Senator Confers With Friends
in Atlanta Over State Poll
tics and Expresses Satisfac-
tion at Result of Primary.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. Ex-senator
William j. Harris reached Atlanta
yesterday from Cedartown, gave his
rather tart reply to Governor Hard
wick's bitter statement against him
end announced that he would re-
main in Georgia until November 20.
when President Harding would call
the extra session Of congress.
The senator was busy during the
day comforting with his friends and
political leaders from all over. the
state, who were here for the meeting
of the state. executive committee. Hi
headquarters at the Ansley Hotel
were crowded all day and he was
being warmly welcomed by political
followers from every section.
He did not attempt to conceal his
delight at the outcome of the special
senatorial primary of last Tuesday
and seemed as keenly appreciative OF
the vote as Senator designate George
himself could have been.
Announcement of speaking dates
DCGWeen ilOW anu November ~ were
made by him, including Buchanan and
Cartersville, home of Senator Eel
ton, the latter engagement being or
November 6.
Although his statements were that
he merely wanted to discuss with the
voters his record in the senate, p,olit
ical observers here are inclined to see
in his plans the beginning of his own
campaign for reelection, which takes
place two years hence; this feeling
comes from the proximity of his tour
to the recent primary and the active
part he took in that fight, together
with the fact that in the closing
days of it, Governor Hardwick seem
ed to direct his fire against Senator
Harris, rather than Candidates
George and Wright.
Whether such is the case remains
to be seen, but the aftermath of the
recent prifary points to the bitterest
contest In the history of the state
when Senator Harris does announce
again and the senator is a fairly alert
politician.

Washington, Oct. 21.-From al
sides comes assurance that the coun-

The Department sof Labor finds
that the nation is calling for labor,
and that the unemployment situation

to be unrecognizable.
The coal strike is over and while
coal will not be plentiful, there is no
famine or fuel hardship in sight.
Textile strikes in New England are
rapidly being settled; the railroad
strike is off" so far as the carriers
and the public are concerned; ard

country has taken a new lease of

is practically nationwide, is being, to
some extent, relieved if not cured.
The new tariffs have not yet prov

its opponents prophesied, and the
recent announcement of the govern

have removed the spectre of increas-

M'LEAN IS HEARD
At NEW ORLEANS
DISCUSSES FINANCIAL PHASE
OF THE COTTON GROWING
PROBLEM.
HESTER ON COTTON FUTURES
r. o, Everett Of North Carolina Made
Chairman Of Conference on
Cotton Problems.

New Orleans-A defense Of the fu-
lures contract in dealing with cotton
was voiced by Col. Henry G. Hester,
for 81 years secretary Of the New Or
leans cotton exchange, in an address
before The commissioners appointed
by the various governors Of the cotton
states who began here a study OF the
problems affecting the cotton indus
try.
I'VE must remember that cotton Is
the most liquid asset known to the
worlds trade and through futures,
every minute of the day and night,
from one end of the year to the other
cotton may be purchased declared
Mr.. Hester. He deplored the fact
that laws have been suggested to con-
gress whereby the New York and
New Orleans cotton exchanges may
be regulated as to their dealings in
futures. He warned the lawmakers
present at the conference that, while
1t might lie in the power Of the gov
ernment to regulate the New York
and New Orleans exchanges, Havre,
Liverpool and other foreign exchanges
could not be regulated.
"You are here to devise system
of education for both white and COL
ored that will teach them to properly
grow cotton of high grades" said Col
onel Hester. "Your aim should be to
do away with trash or unspinnable
cotton. You will also have to devise
some method whereby the public can
be enlightened and enlist the aid OF
the national and state governments
to get us out of the mud"
Angus W. Mclean, member of the
war finance corporation and former
assistant secretary Of the treasury,
a delegate from North Carolina, fol-
lowed Secretary Hester with a brief
address in which he discussed the
financial phase of the cotton growing
problem.
State Senator R. o. Everett, OF
North Carolina, was made temporary
chairman of the conference. A COM
mittee on permanent organization
was named to present recommends
tions as to the permanent organiza-
ton.
This committee also was asked to
formulate a permanent program for
future action to be recommended to
the various states represented by
commissioners and to seek the CO.
operation of those states not repre-
sented in the conference.
Permanent organization was al
fected at a meeting of the committee

and Thomas B. King, of Memphis,

The subcommittee reported to the

time to study the whole matter. Some
of those protesting to have sounded

ably would be ratified.
Aside from the ballots on the sales

mittee provision was defeated, to q
Both proponents and opponents OF
a sales tax appeared to be surprised
by the vote on that proposition. Both
sides had been claiming a victory with
each seemingly expecting a fairly
close vote.
Four members Of the sub-commit,
tee were reported to have favored a
further postponement Of bonus legis-
lation in the belief that in time the
problem of finance would solve itself.
Postponement is opposed, however
by a big majority of the committee
and also by many members OF the
house. Chairman Fordney reiterated
that bonus bill would be passed at
this session and other committeeman
expressed the same view.
Some supporters Of sales tax ex'
pressed the view that President Hard
