THE COTTON MARKET
Coed Buying Orders Helped to Steady

port.
New York. Xov. S.— (.A*) —-The cot
ton market opened steady today at a
dec!'lie of 5 iioints to an advance of
(5 points. Considerable Southern hedg
ing and further pre-Bureau liquidation
: were absorbed by trade buying and
; covering.
Reports of a firmer basis on the bet-1
ter grades of cotton in the South and
rumors of good buying orders in the
market for execution on any decline
after the government report helped to
i steady prices. January contracts as
! ter soiling off to 12.27 at the opening,
worked up to 12.37. the general
market ruling about 5 to S points net
i b'gher in the first hour.

At New Orleans.
New Orleans, Nov. 8. —t^)—The i
government crop forecast of 17,018.000
bales was smaller than expected, but
the total gfnnings to November Ist
was larger than looked for. The first
effect on the market was almost neg
ligible as prices eased off only 7 to 13
points on active near months, and
showed little or no change on distant
positions. First trades after the re
port were down from the pce-Bureau j
figures and 5 to 10 points above Sat- j
urda.v’s close.
Prices Held Steady.
New York, Nov. 8. —(A>)—In the |
face of the latest government crop es
tiinate increasing the indicated produc- '
tion to the unprecedented total of
nearly 18,000.000 bales, cotton prices
held remarkably steady on the New j
-York market today.
Before publication of the figures cot- j
ton was selling about $1 a bale high-;
er than at the end of last week. South- ,
ern selling which followed the report |
cancelled a part of th»se gains, but it j
was fairly well absorbed by large buy
ing orders from the trade whioft had
been placed in anticipation of another j
sharp break. Prices at noon ranged |
from 12.27' for December contracts to j
12.62 for March, representing net gains i
of 5 to 8 points.

question on cross-examination as
the name of a girl companion in 1»
Hussey’s Lane the night of the slnjfr
ing of the Rev. Edward W. Hall aiii
Mrs. Eleanor Mills.
Ehrling lost his first bout with de
fense counsel when he was required
to give the name of the young woman
who shared ’.tin automobile with him,'
but could not spell it. “Public pol
icy*’, came to tlie rescue of the har
assed witness when the defense in
sisted further that the ‘‘girl*’ he more
definitely identified by the giving of
her married name. The court ruled
that the name she bore at the time
she visited De Russey’s Lane was suf
ficient.
Ehrling. plainly worried when he
took the stand, apparently was near
panic when defense counsel continued
to press him for the name of his
companion.
“It was a -girl,” and later “she wari
a woman,” he said, and when Prose
cutor Simpson attempted to lend a
hand by suggesting 1o the court that
there might be a valid reason for with
holding the name, PThrling eagerly
seized the straw.
“She’s married now, has two chil
dren and a husband,” he said. “And
I refuse to give her name.”
“You must,” ruled Justice Parker,
“Yes, give the name. The court
says you must.” added Mr. Simpson.
> ‘‘Jennie Lenford” was the mumbled
replj, *
Robert H. McCarter, of defense
counsel, pressing for the name of the
husband to identify her as of today,
was stopped by the court’s declaration
that it was against public policy to
pursue the matter to such an extent.
Ehrling had testified that with his
girl companion he was in the lane the
night of the double slaying for about
two hours. He said that he saw
Mrs. Gibson, the "pig woman.”
Ehrling had testified that with this
Mrs. Gibson, the “pig woman” there
astride her famous mule. The time
he spent in the lane was fixed by the
witness at about two hours, between
8:30 o’clock and 11 p. m. He heard
no shots, but two automobiles pass
ed down the lane about 30 minutes be
fore he left.
The questioning was believed to be
for the purpose of bringing Ehrling's
companion in as a witness in an effort
to refute his testimony.

Sheriff Rasbcrry of Greene County to

and two negroes. His load of tobacco
was sold on the local market and
brought $1,400 but the three men foi
some reason did not call for the check
after unloading.

probability that the three men killed
Yelverton : n order to get the tobacco
and then after delivering it. became
frightened when the local chief of po
lice entered the warehouse and left
without collecting for the load.

“DAYY” CROCKETT WEEK |
Week Beginning Today to be Observed }
for the Famous Hero.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 8. —In trib-|
ute to "Davy” Crockett, famous pib-1
neer and hero of the Alamo, Tennes
see. lii« native state, is to observe the l
week beginning today as “DavidFj
Crockett Week" by proclamation of ;
Governoi Peay. upon the suggestion
of the Tennessee chapter of the Daugh
ters of the American Revolution,
It was in the village of Limestone,
on the Nollichucky River, in eastern (
Tennessee, that David Crockett was I
born in 1786. His father, who was J
of Irish descent, had been a soldier
of the Revolution. David’s boyhood
was spent in the fields anti woods and j
his education was so entireg’.y neglect-1
ed that he could neither read nor.
write until his nineteenth year. At j
the dge of 12 he became a drover, and
in 1813, at the breaking out of the
Creek war, he volunteered in the ser
vice, fighting bravely until its ?los*>.
In 1821 lie was elected a representa
tive of Tennessee legislature and was
again elected in 1923, attracting at
tention by his quaint wit ami keen!
powers of perception. This led to |
his election in 182(5 as a representa- |
tive in the Twentieth Congress, and j
he was returned to the two subse
quent congresses. Meanwhile he made !
a canvassing tour in the interest of
Andrew Jacksqn, his former command
er and personal friend, stumping the
northern and eastern states and creat
ing much amusement and interest by .
his eccentricities in dress and manner *
and liis effective stories of his wild
adventures.
He was a candidate for the Twen-:
ty-fourth Congress in 1834, but ow-!
ing to his opposition to Jackson’s In-'
dian bill, he was defeated by a small j
majority. His popularity while in 1
Congress was due largely to his won
derful power as an extemporaneous j
speaker, and his apt expressions were ■
quoted long after their author was |
dead. On one occasion he turned the j
noise made by a flock of guinea fowls |
to good acount during his canvass of j
east Tennessee by stopping in the!
midst of a speech and exclaiming: .
“Listen, gentlemen ! the very fowls are |
halooing for Crockett, Crockett, Crock
ett !” *
In 1834 he removed to Texas, where
lie espoused the cause of the Texans
in their struggle for independence. In
March, 1836, he joined the force of
134 men in the defense of the Alamo,
and was one of the six who survived
the merciless slaughter, surrendering ]
to Santa Ana, and were shot by his ,
orders on the same day. The date
of his death was March 6, 1836.
The familiar saying, sure you’re i
i right and then go ahead,” was original
with David Crockett.
He emblazoned this bit of homely I
advice on liis banner when he set out j
to win the heart of liis first love,
j Polly Findley, <the blue-eyed Irish
beauty of Limestone. Crockett, at
that time, was barely out of his teens.
Fortune favored his quest, and the
two were married in 1806. In 1810
the Crocketts settled in the Beans
Creek section of Tennessee. Their
homestead, in a beautiful valley lying
snug against the foot of circling moun
tains that embrace Hatchett’s Cove,
provided a happy hunting ground.
Crockett’s fame as a bear hunter,
there in the virgin forest, grew apace.
The young coup’e and their two girl
■ babies were very happy. But dark
clouds hovered overhead. Ere long
David was called to fight the Creek In
dians. Mrs. Crockett, at home, lived
, through dreary weeks and months of

“America's greatest battle ~is fi
fight for the soul of the, nation,*’
Congressman William I>. Upshaw, of
Atlanta, declared in an addre.n hero
ast night in the Fimt Baptfct
Church. This battle, lie continued. id
“for the vindieation of the ideals of
our national life; a battle to provo
to our children who arc the 'Tomor
row of the Republic.’ and to the
eyes of the nations that watch from
across the seas that America is
cnpahlo of enacting n great moral
principle into law and proving that
its enforcement was not. a farce.” i
America’s greatest battle, Mr. Up
shaw said, is not economic, although
the sanest and the soundest coo-,
nomics are bound up in its solution, j
America’s greatest battle is not in- |
dust rial, he argued, although no |
great industry can properly func- j
tion where its man-power docs not
susta : n a proper relation to • thin J
unfinished fight. Xeither is America’s
greatest battle agricultural, he said,
although he usually voted irf 't>m
gress with the farm bloc which be
lieves their problem to be the base of
all bases in national development.
Mr. Upshaw denied that America’s
greatest battle is political and and
reiterated that the greatest fight is
for the soul of the nation.
The speaker flayed in vitrolic
terms “hesitating, equivocating, vacil
lating, fabricating politicians’’ who
hedge on the prohibition issue! “An.
official with the smell of liquor on hi*
breath should not get a . smell of
any office.” said Mr.Upshaw wfaw
said father: “Make all officials sober
and we will have no further liquor
problem.”
The speaker early in his ta’Jk in- *
troduced his nationally famoue 13-
minute address which, in 1f)22. was
“played np” by the press of the na
tion. He said:
“ff these governors who put theig
feet under the president’* mahogany
at the White House really wish to
get anywhere in their conference tor
law enforcement, let them remember
what the beloved and immortal Bam
Jones said: ‘lf you want to reform
the world, begin with yourself, and
then you will have one rascal pttt of
the way-’ Ivet these governors, led by
the president ami vice-president and,
followed by all congressmen,-.
tors, state and federal judges. Mn<l
prosecuting walk -out in
the open and life their bund* before
high heaven and take a new oath of
allegiance to the while constitution
the American flag. This will
wipe away the cloud on the. official
sky and be a far-reaching Christmas
gift to society and ‘
Mr. Ui*>baw recited the history of
the passage of the. resolution, by
which congress submitted t6‘ tht* sev
eral state legislatures the eighteenth
amendment and of its adoption by
the states. He continued by saying:
“And then. with the brightest
brains that liquor money can bti.t;
an internationally known v/lawyeTj
who had twice been a member of tree
president’s cabinet, went befbtt* the
supreme court of the United, States
and there argued the uneonstitution
iality of the prohibition law; and afc
the end of his brilliant ‘sophistry,
that court of last resort, of the
American people, handed (iown the
high decision that every step in the
process was according to the* consti,
tution of our fathers.
"Fellow Americans. I remind ydfl,
that is the way we pass our* laws,in
the good o’d United States of Amer
ica ; and if there is anybody in fair
and foolish ’Frisco or wild and wooly
Chicago or gay and Godless Gotham,
or brilliant and blaze Boston, or
sinful and sinning Cincinnati, with
all their foreignized population, who
make cowards of many of their jwli
ticians—if these un-American ele
ments don’t like the way we red
blooded. sober. God-fearing, 100 per
cent constitutional Americans pass
our laws in this country. I respect
fully remind them that the boats are
still running to Russia.
"There is one thing worse to I'oll
- than the repeal of the eigh
, tenth amendment —and that is its
nullified retention. If we win. wfc
must eo-operate. voting as grind eiti
zens and patriots, and not as Re
publieans and Democrat*.
“One of the worst indictment*
against liquor is the fact that it de
stroys all i>atriotisin and all sense
of personal and party loyalty. It will
make a German, a Frenchman, an
Italian, au Englishman, or an Irish
man out of an American in uiree
i minutes if there is a barrel of boom
or the boodle of booze just across the
border line. It will turn a Republican,
into a Democrat—or, worse than
that, it will turn a Democrat into a
Republican overnight if liouor can
