Senator Dial Attacks U. S. Es-
timates-operator Sees End
of Supply by Sept. Il.
By TOM EVERRITT.
CnsmnnoIitan News Service.

There seems to be well defined
opinion among men posted upon the
cotton situation that a. spot cotton
famine looms just ahead, with pos
sible result of the closing down of
many mills.
Some of these authorities claim
there is not nearly as much cotton
available for manufacturing purposes
as the public has been led by U. s.
Government experts to believe.
United States Senator Dial. OF
South Carolina, today said, The
SPOT cotton situation is this: The De-
partment of Agriculture reported
that the carry-over at the end of the
present fiscal year, June 80, will be
100000 bales.
"The Department of Commerce
made no carry-over estimate in its
last report, and my recollection is
that the Department OF Commerce
usually makes such an estimate, but
did not do so in it's last statement
Attitude of Dial.
Dial takes, issue with both of the
Government departments as to the
accuracy of their reports and ques-
lions the sources of their information.
He seems to believe they. are dis
tinctly misleading and convey the
impressions that there is no danger
to industry in the present cotton
situation.
"I question the accuracy" he said,
"of all these figures and it is ex'
ceedingly doubtful whether there Is
as much cotton on hand now as these
reports would indicate.
II do not for moment doubt the
honesty of all these authorities, bu'
I do seriously question the sources
of their information and the Accur
acy of their reports for the reasons
mentioned in. my letter OF day OF
SO ago to Secretary Hoover. !,
Opinion Of Operator.
In his letter to Hoover, Dial claims
If IN he an unjust and confusing
nractice to count linters as cotton
that much cotton brought over IRON
the last two or three seasons, dam
aged in storage, is also counted.
More specific, however, than Lila
as TO the actual supply OF cotton OF
hand is Frederick K. Rupprecnt, q
bie operator in the cotton INDUSTRY
who is quoted as having today saiu
"All the American cotton In tne
world will be consumed by Septen
her l. Since the new crop is no
available until about October 10, am
in foreign countries until about NO
vember Is, spindles may nave 10 "

IRREGULAR
TREND
Trading Unusually Dull : As
Bears Renew Tactics to In
duce Liquidation.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Stocks
were irregular and unusually dull
in the first two hours trading on
the stock exchange today. The
character of the trading, as well
as that of the past week or so. left
no room for doubt that the profess
sional element is in complete con.
troll of the situation, able to work
its will at almost any time. Out
side stock traders have been fright
ened away by the recent slump and
are not likely to return until def.
mite upward trend is re-established.
Bears renewed their tactics in a
few directions, but their efforts did
not induce liquidation AS matter
of fact there were indications that
accumulation was in progress when
ever recessions occurred.
The coppers were picked our for
particular attention by the sellers
due to the easiness reported in he
copper market and price reductions
in finished products announced by
leading companies. Anaconda
cropped more IMAM point TO 1873
a new low for this year. and other
copper stocks were from a fraction
to a point lower.
Efforts were made to bring
about unsettlement in the oil group
by depressing the Standard Oil
stocks. but aside from forcing a
1-point decline in both Standard Oil
of California and New Jersey, the
experiment failed. The weakness in
the New Jersey stock, selling at q
new low at 34%, was attributed to
disappointment created by tine poor
annual report. Royal Dutch was
again strong,. advancing about a
point to 40.
There were not many points OF
interest in trading in other sec
tons of the list. Steel. equipment
and motor stocks fluctuated over q
narrow range, but held their own
pretty well. Railroad stocks were
featureless. although some heavi
ness was noted in Great Northern
preferred and Northern Pacific.
Gas stocks were featured by a
2-point rise in Peoples Gas to 81 "
Corn Products was firm. rising
nearly a point to 1919, anC
Fleischmann was active and point
higher at 462.

LABOR AGENT
HELD FOR GRAND JURY

DAWSON, Sept. 6.-Tom Ken
nedy, a negro who was charged
with kidnapping and taking young
Terrell county negro, the son Of
Lee Roy Reddick of Graves Station,
to Columbus to work on a railroad,
was bound over at commitment
trial to the higher courts under a
$500 bond, which he made.
From the evidence it appears
Kennedy persuaded the Reddick
boy, who is just seventeen years
of age, to go to Columbus with him,
and, it is understood that he paid
his railroad fare.
The parents of the youthful
darkv decided that he could be
used to advantage on the farm and
had warrant sent to Columbus
for Kennedy, where he was appre-
hended and brought here for trial
1t is also understood that both were
working with a construction gang
above Columbus and that Kennedy
had been in Dawson trying to re-
cruit labor.

"THE CHEAT" BIG
PHOTOPLAY WITH
HAPPY ENDING

A picture story with a happy
ending for Pola Negri! That is
something which the admirers of
this celebrated screen star will see
in "The Cheat" her latest Para
mount picture, produced by George
Fitzmaurize, which is being shown
at the Rylander theater today and
Friday.
The story of "The Cheat" deals
with a wealthy girl Of Latin-Amer-
can parentage who, to avoid we'd
ding an old man, chosen by her
father, elopes with a young Amer
lean. In Paris she is loved by an
art siwndler disguised as an East
Indian Prince who follows her to
New York. The girl is disinherit-
ed by her father, and unused to
poverty, she accepts the supposed
Hindu's offer of money with which
to gamble. At first she wins, then
loses not only her own money but
charity fund instructed to her.
Ranic-stricken, she borrows from
the prince" and promises to dine
with him alone in return for the
loan.
From this point, on the action is
rapid and races swiftly to one of
the finest climaxes ever seen on the
screen. The ending is happy. The
part of the husband is played by
Jack Holt, popular Paramount star
while the role of the disguised Hin
due prince is in the capable hands
of Charles de Roche, the famous
French screen star.

QUANTITY DANGEROUS
CAPS FOUND IN STREET
Twenty-Six Dynamite Contain
ers Picked Up Near Play
ground on Hill Street

Engineer A. H. Williams, of the
Seaboard Air Line, while coming
toward the city from the shops
about 9 o'clock this morning, found
twenty-six dynamite caps on Hill
street between Barlow and the Sea-
board tracks. III
The caps were lying in the road
way and upon the sidewalk and APP
parently had been scattered where
found by some person.
Whether this was done by some
child or the caps were lost from
some passing vehicle is unknown,
but the fact that many of the caps
were found upon the sidewalk indi-
Gated they had been deliberately
scattered about.
That none of the dangerous caps
were exploded by passing vehicles
is considered as remarkable. With
Engineer Williams when he found
the dynamite was Engineer j. r.
Ross, and he assisted in picking
up and preserving them.
The caps were brought into the
city by Mr.. Williams, who said he
would deliver them to dealer in
such explosives where they could
be properly taken care of.

line between here and Albany but
that it was in a transformer at Al
bany. According to this information,
some time ago a transformer sup
plying Americas with power from
the Albany dam burned out" and
that instead of putting in new
one temporary connection had
been made with the transformer sup
nIyirk PELHAM and Camilla, and
that this had burned out during
Wednesday, causing the prolonged
interruption of service experienced
here. The lineman who gave MIN
this information, Jeter told coun-
ell, was "Mr Hammond" whose
first name was not mentioned.
City Engineer Charles Wheatiey
who participated in the discussion
by invitation, asserted that if any
person would place wire or wee
stick or in any other way cause
"ground" of the transmission line
between here and Albany there
would be no delay in locating the
trouble. According to Mr.. Wheatley,
such trouble would be accompa-
MED by a loud report, comparable
to the firing of four-inch cannon
and easily audible over half mile
from the scene of the ground. He
also asserted that it would be eX-
tremely dangerous for any one to
tamper with such a high voltage
line, and that it was very likely any
one doing so would be killed. He was
positive that the transmission lines
are not being tempered with and
that the trouble was not to be found
there.
Mayor Ioole at this juncture said
he was going to ask the water and
lights committee of council to act
on the matter, with something to be
done to Insure better service.
Alderman Carswell thought that
the water plant belonging to the
city. should be equipped to furnish
electric service in time of necessity
and that the lighting company would
then execute a satisfactory contract
with the city and furnish better
service. Otherwise, he thought, time
would only be thrown away in ne
gotiations with them. The discus
sion along this line was continued
for some time~afterwards, but moth
ing definite was done, except that it
was agreed sthe service was unsat
isfactoTy@ and the. water and lights
committee Was requested by the
mayor to "do something" in the
premises. y -

COTTON CROP ABOUT
PARROTT BADLY HURT

PARROTT, Sept. G. Continuous
rains have seriously hurt the cot
ton crop in the Parrot vicinity, re-
ports j. W. Tilley, a big planter
and merchant of this town. While it
was known that this years crop
would be shorter than that Of last
season il was not expected TO be as
bad as it is, says Mr.. Tilley. The
rains interfered with picking, and
even when a bale arrives at the gin
it is wet and difficult to handle.

of the trimmings offered; but on
recalling these it is the abundant
use of knife-pleated fabric as pam
els, frills or berthas, of various
types of lace, of judiciously placed
embroidery and applied or pendant
velvet ribbon that stands out most
wildly in ones memory. Silk lace
displaying all-over floral designs is
often used as a single deep, full
skirt flounce or as a. hip sash or
shoulder drapery, while creamy
guipure with its richly wrought
flowers and corded patterns forms
becoming vests and revers.
Two very notable uses of lace,
the production of House of
Youth designer, were recently dis
played in New York to the admira-
ton of all who were fortunate
enough to see them; in one in
stance closely fitting slip of silver
cloth was entirely covered with
soft floating drapery of filmy black
lace, in the other corsage of tur-
quoise silke lace encircled with
fine Egyptian pattern in silver
thread was combined with short
sleeves and draped skirt of black
velvet.
The full single flounce lace skirt
will be worn throughout the entire
autumn and winter and will be
much in demand for bridesmaids
costumes. The hciress of one of
Americas greatest fortunes was
quite recently married in the pic
turesque Italian garden of the Ho-
tel Ambassador in New York City
wearing lace veil which had. once
adorned the head of Queen of
France, her attendants appearing
in chiffon gowns with full, deep
lace over-flounces and broad hats
with long tulle streamers. An au-
tumnaf bride is about to adopt this
idea to the season by arraying her
bridesmaids in gowns of golden
brown flat crepe with flounced
skirts of brown lace run with deep
yellow silk thread, the whole COM
pleted by streamered hats of dark
brown tulle and bouquets of brown,
crimson and yellow chrysanthe-
NUNS.
