BUCKET SHOP STOCK
IN FAIRCHILD’S NAME
Fairchild Is Manager of
Publicity of the Cotton
Association.
An Investigation Into the allegations
and rumors afloat about the Southern
Cotton Association, which have con
nected members at the association with
bucket shops and manipulations In cot
ton futures, will be held Monday morn
ing. ,
The call for the Investigation was Is
sued Thursday morning by President
Harvle Jordan.
The committee to conduct the Inves
tigation, as appointed by Mr. Jordan, Is
composed of three prominent officers
of the Southern Cotton Association—
M. L. Johnson, president of the Geor
gia division; John D. Walker, treasurer
of the Georgia division, and W. L.
Peek, national committeeman.
Representative Anderson, of Chat
ham, whose charges, made In the
house Tuesday, have precipitated the
Investigation, is requested by President
Jordan to appear and specify as to his
allegations. *
Mr. Anderson says he will be present.
He declines to "show his hand,” as re
quested by a member of the house, un-
. til this meeting.
Rumors, connecting officers of the
association with bucket shops and
speculation, the very things tho asso
ciation has always claimed to be most
strongly against, have com? thick and
fast during the past two weeks.
ONE-EIGHTH INTEREST
IN FAIRCHILD'S NAME.
It was learned Thursday morning
that one-eighth of the stock of the
Piedmont Brokerage Company, an at
legcd bucket shop, was held In the
name' of Arthur A. Fairchild.
Arthur A. Fairchild Is. manager of
publicity for the Southern Cotton As
sociation.
The fact that this stock was held In
Falrchlld's'name was confirmed Thurs
day morning by the statement of Man
ager Love, of the Piedmont Brokerage
Company.
When asked about this eighth part
Manager'Love said;
"I am now the largest holder In the
Piedmont Brokerage Company. I have
bought up all the available stock. This
I did before the bill was Introduced In
the house. I bought Mr. Fairchild's
share and that belonging to Dr. Craw
ford. Mr. Fairchild sold his share
about the same time Dr. Crawford
did."
When asked who were the other
stockholders at the present time, Mr.
Love said he was not at liberty to tell
the names of.any of the stockholders
other than those mentioned, as the
others still held their shares, and It
would be a violation of confidence to
make their names public.
THAT’S CHEATHAM'S TRADE,
MANAGER LOVE WOULD SAY.
Another Important piece of evidence
which has not up until this time been
published was a statement made by
Dr. J. M. Crawford, who said:
“On several occasions while In the
Piedmont bucket slfop references were
made to assumed names under which
'deals' were put through, and on sev
eral occasions Manager Love, of the-
■hop, said In reference to the name J.
A. Lee, 'Why, that’s Cheatham's
trade.* "•
Dr. Crawford said further that he
held a conversation oVer the 'phone
with Manager Love Wednesday and
that Manager Low said he would not
divulge the names of any of his patrons
or the stockholders In the company.
It would Injure his business.
takes his ownZife
AFTER SIX ATTEMPTS
Several hours after a reporter of The
Georgian secured Information from
Manager Love that A. A. Fairchild had
held In his name an. Interest In the
Piedmont Brokerage Company, a card
was Issued by Mr. Fairchild In which
he asserted that he had bought the
stock In question, subsequently sell
ing It.
Manager Love late Wednesday after
noon declined to say whether or not
he had communicated with Mr. Fair-
child after haring admitted to The
Oeorglan reporter that Mr. Fairchild
had been a stockholder.
Mr. Fairchild's card follows:
“To the Public: Owing to certain
reflections cast upon high and honor
able ofllcers of the Southern Cotton
Association. I feel It my duty In justice
to the parties In question to make the
following statement:
"Early last spring I was solicited by
one E. D. Hotze to purchase stock In a
brokerage company, being Informed
that reputable and honorable citizens
of Atlanta were stockholders. I pur
chased and paid for with my personal
check one-eighth Interest In the Pied
mont Brokerage Company. 1 did so
considering It a good Investment, hav
ing no conscientious scruples against
owning such property. I counclled no
one In this connection, nor did the of
ficers of the Southern Cotton Associa
tion know of the transaction. Upon
learning that places of this character
were decidedly distasteful. to the 'of-

tures, although I personalty am noi

my work for the Southern Cotton As
sociation, feeling that It has been in
jured by my actions, I will willingly
tender my resignation. This Is writ
ten for the purpose of forever setting
at rest the minds of certain Individ
uals who are ndeavorlng to question
the character and all eerily of Innocent
ofllcers of the Southern Cotton Asso
ciation.
"Very truly,

JORDAN’S OFFICIAL CALL
President Harvle Jordan Thursday
morning furnished the press with the
following statement:
"Representative Anderson of Chat
ham has publicly withdrawn all ref
erence or any Intimation to me In his
alleged. charges on the floor of the
house last Tuesday, which Is entirely
satisfactory to me personally. As
president of the Southern Cotton As
sociation, however, and In my ofllclnt
capacity I cannot permit the alleged
charges made by Mr. Anderson against
certain unnamed ofllcers or employees
of the association to stand unchal-
Icngcl. I'oeltivc n nil definite proofs
must be presented rutlter thnn hearsay
evidence,-nnd the names of the alleged
tics or party given out to the pub-
I have therefore appointed the
following ofllcers of the association to
hear whatever testimony Mr. Ander
son or others may have relative to the
inntter, and bring the facts or falsity
of the alleged charges to a Anal de
cision ns promptly ns possible.
"Colonel W. L. Peek, Conyers, Ga.,
national, committeeman: Hon. M. L.
Johnson. Atlanta, Ga.. state president;
John D. Walker, Sparta, Ga., treasurer
Georgia state division.
"These gentlemen hold high posi
tions In the Southern Cotton Asso
ciation and are well known to the peo
ple of Georgia, and can be depended
upon to ImparTlally and thoroughly
conduct this Investigation. The com
mittee has been notified and requested
to meet next Monday morning, July
10, at 10 o'clock In the president's of
fice, 21S Peeples building.
"Representative Anderson has also
been officially notified of the appoint
ment of the above named committee,
the place of meeting, and requested to
be present and testify to his alleged
charge*. The trial of this matter will
he open to the public, as the Southern
Cotton Association has nothing to con
ceal with reference to the acts uml
doings of Its ufllclal work or that of Its
officers.
Secretary Richard Cheatham also
.bands n full' nnd complete Investi
gation of the charges preferred by Mr.
Anderson, and every opportunity will
be given Representative Anderson eith
er to sustain his alleged charges, or
withdraw them In aa public manner
aa 1s necessary."

MR. ANDERSON USED
EVERY PRETTY WORD
EXCEPT “AMBROSIA”
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham, Is one of
the eblest members of the house.
Ales one of the most popular.
Wednesday he made his first formal
speech In the house.
It was a dulcet discourse of astound
ing adject! vlty. Sonorous sounds
poured from the lips of th# gent from
Chatham like honey from a punctured
bee-gum. He perorated periods so well
rounded that when they dropped from
his tongue they rolled down the aisle
Ilk* rubber balls, bouncing here and
thare, and winding up final)y among
th# bunch of newspaper men.
That speech made a hit.
It was the talk of the statesmen end
politicians Wednesday night, and
Thursday morning It was still the par
amount subject of discussion.
So shortly after tha house convened
Mr. WrlghL of Floyd, himself an ora
torical bulbul of note, arose and pra-
sented the following resolution:
"Whereas, the gentleman from Chat
ham, Mr. Anderson, in his eloquent
speech on the Jamestown, Exposition
bill used every beautiful word In the
English language with the single ex
ception of the word 'ambrosia;' there
fore. be It • . . ,
"Resolved, That the distinguished or
ator be allowed one minute's time to
Incorporate that Incomparable word In
bis oration; and
"Be It further resolved. That In the
event he Ids successful, the aum of SO
cents, or so much thereof as may be
necessary, be appropriated to secure
Its publication In all the papers of the
state."
Blushing to the rim of hair which
ornaments the rear of his head, there
being a paucity of such on top and In
front, Mr. Anderson arose and said that
realization of his own lack of hair was
always upon him and that In bis
pcerh he had not Included "ambrosia"
Misuse he frit embarra»sment at any
reference to a word related in anylj.
