DR.. SQULE'S SALARY
IS LEGALLY PAID.
TRUSTEES REPORT

ATHENS. Ga, Dec 17.-Assert-
ing tnat no legislation is required
10 clear up any situation as re-
CARDS the salary of DIR. Andrew NJ.
Soule, president Of the State Col
lege of Agriculture. the board of
trustees of the institution Tuesday
declared after a meeting, that his
salary Of $4,000 a year is justified,
and that it is paid in regular
and legal manner.
The boards statement is made in
reply to a recent report by State
Auditor Samuel j. Slate to Cover
nor Clifford Walker that the man.
ner in which the salary is paid is
illegal and also questioning the
amount The board said not only
is the amount considered by it
reasonable, but that it would feel
justified in increasing it if that
were necessary to retain his serV-
ices.
In reply to Mr.. States criticism
OF the boards purchase of two
automobiles of expensive make, the
board, in its findings, which are di-
rected to Governor Walker, points
out that the purchase of these cars
has been an economy rather than
an expense. 1t says that they have
travelled more than so, 600 miles since
their purchase, and that the cost Of
travel per mile has been five cents
The board also ventures to say that
if the number of persons taken in
the cars on these trips were taken
into consideration, the cost per mile
would be much less than five cents.
The board does suggest to Cover
nor Walker, however, that the legis-
lature might drop from the act UNI
der which Dr. SOule is paid his sal
airy the language which made it pos
sible for Mr.. Slate to make his criti-
| cism. 1t states in this regard that
! even this step is not necessary, for
/ the board has full power to name
| DR.. Soule's salary and to transact
| other matters regarding the welfare
| of the institution.
Among the members of the board
present at the meeting today was
| j. j. Brown. state commissioner of
/
say that he heartily approved of
| the action of the board in fixing the
salary of DIR. Soule and in the pur.
| chase of the Cadillac automobiles
that the salary of DR.. Sbule was
| lower than that paid many other
/ officials for less service, that the
/ state department of agriculture full
/ ly recognized the great and effec.

Eastman, Ga, as member of the

Colonel Boifeuillet recently sent
the governor a communication call
ing attention to the fact that he
vas elected December /, 1919, for 4
siX-year term, so that his term eX-

year hence.
Acting under misrepresentation
Governor Walker had issued a com
mission to Mr.. Bennett, who defeat

GRAIN

! CHICAGO, Thursday, Dec. IS
/ Wheat encountered more opposition
! in its efforts to advance to higher
! levels. good bulge was noticed at
! the opening but the buying power
gave out on the advance and prices
lost a good part of the early gain.
Corn was weak, most of the session
rejecting the decline IN cash corn
and the increase in receipts. Oats
were affected by the trend of com.
Provisions had a firmer tone in sym
pathy with the advance in legs.
The unexpected strength in Liver
pool, based on unfavorable private
reports from the Argentine, led to
active commission house buying of
wheat at the opening. Prices adj
Nanced sharply, but around SIP for
May, pressure increased and not
enough new buying came into the
pit to digest the offerings. Most of
the professional traders feel that
present prices are high enough and
they show a disposition to stay out
of the market rather than take the
risk of making short sales. The wire
service was crippled by yesterdays
sleet storm and this was especially
noticeable in wires reaching western
points
AS a result outside trade was not
as brisk as of late. Seaboard adVices
were scanty and the local exporters
told of again buying back wheat
from France. Clearance of over 700,-
600 bushels from Galveston received
much attention and were used by
the bull to encourage buying. Mills
take a little wheat daily but the
volume of business is not impressive.
Receipts will be light for the next
few days owing to the stormy
weather.
Enough commission house buying
was experienced in corn to give the
market a higher opening. This, how
ever, was the only period of firm
ness noticed in the entire session On
the bulge heavy selling by eastern
houses representing long corn caused
prices to break nearly cents from
the top before enough buying was
encountered to check the decline.
James a Patten is credited with the
statement that the receipts are too
heavy at the moment to permit an
advance in prices. Despite the slow
wire service 10000 bushels of corn
were booked on overnight bids to the
country. Cash corn basis was I'm
changed to a cent lower, the decline
being in the off grades. Shipping
demand was quiet.
Oats were affected by the action
of corn and sold off after q higher
opening. The big stocks in sight and
the Indifferent cash deraand are un-
dermning the morale of holders.
The advance in hogs caused com1
mission house buying of provision
and higher prices were posted as a
result. The break in corn caused
some pressure later and prices re,
acted from the high point
Corn rallied with wheat and closed
/ IA to l 5Sc higher; December $1.24

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1S.-Tho
cotton market opened steady in the
face of unfavorable Liverpool cables
First trades were unchanged to ,
points down. The market eased off
slightly after the call, January trad
ing down to 24.05, March to PAIL
and May to 24.3S or 10 to II points
below the previous close. The mar
ket continued to be supported by
good spot news. A local firm re-
ported the sale after hours yesterday
of one lot of ZOO bales at good
basis. Fall River reported sales of
print cloths for the week would
reach fully 100000 pieces.
The market was mildly reaction
airy during the morning, but trading
quoted down considerably. The dis
position to sell was held in check by
continued strength of spots and pros
poets for continued large export as
well as by favorable advices from
the cotton goods markets. January
traded down to 1896, March to 24.03
and May 24.30, or Is to 10 points
down compared with yesterdays
close. Galveston wired that exports
from that port would total 250, 900
bales during the second half of De-
cemker. New Orleans exported to.
day 14,64S bales.
The market after ruling very quiet
at the low points of the morning
right after noon showed a rallying
tendency later oWing~to covering by
shorts who feared rather bulIish
weekend statistics today. January
recovered to 24.07, March to 24.14
and May 24.39. or 9 to II points up
from the lows of the session estab-
Hshed around noon. The undertone
continued healthy owing to the good
demand for spots and the favorable
reports from tn egood trade. Trad
Ing however, dropped to very mod
crate proportions. Exports for the
day totaled 1882 bales.
