America, Should Have .Rep

to Push Cloth.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Special Agent
W. A. Graham Clark supplements a
previous letter on the general trade
of Turkey with a report showing the
opportunities for the sale of American
cotton cloths In that country. In It
Is shown the extent of the market, the
kinds of cloth required and some details
in regard thereto. - Compliance by
American exporters with the sugges
tions offered by Mr. Clark should tend
to Increase sales. He says:
"American exporters could Increase
their sales In Turkey anil do a more
satisfactory business by. adapting their
goods to local requirements, sending
over commercial travelers. using
French In correspondence and catalogs;
using the metric system In quotations:
quoting In French and English: quot
ing c. I. f. Turkish port, or 'Franco
Domicile:' giving thirty to ninety days
credit to firms of standing; In 'cash'
quotations, always quoting ‘cash on ar
rival of goods' and Invariably giving
some discount for cash: accepting small
Initial orders; using care In packing,
promptness In shipping and by careful
ly studying before hand what shipping
route will be to the Interest of custom
ers In regard to time, cost and liability
to damage by transhipments.
■In the case of Turkey, the duty Is
almost uniformly 11 per cent ad valo
rem, therefore, quoting ‘Franco Domi
cile,' that Is delivery free Into custom
er’s store, should be comparatively easy,
and It Is a very, popular method."

LOST HIS WIFE,
THENGOT DRUNK
I think .they made a mistake when
they sent your wife to the asylum.
They should have sent you there," said
Recorder Broyles Tuesday aflenoon to
Dan Proctor, a farmer from Arabl,
Ga., who had been arraigned for drunk
enness.
Proctor had just told the recorder a
remarkable story. He said his wife had
been In the atate asylum at Mllledge-
vllle for some time, and was released
Monday. He said hs came to Atlanta
to meet his wife, but that he got drunk
Instead and lost trace of her. He failed
to meet the train, and now has no Idea
as to the whereabouts of his wife.
The Arabl man waafound by Officer
Tye wallowing In the mud near Decs'
tur street.
Proctor was very repentant In court
and agreed to take the oath never to
touch another drop of liquor. Judge
Broyles accordingly • odmlnlstered the
oath and then dismissed the case, re-
m "Get on out now and try to find your
wife, and be sure and let whisky
alone." __________

"The Antl-8aloon League came to
the kingdom for the specific purpoee
qf removing the rum traffic. That It
Is succeeding Is no longer a matter
of doubt to those who read and
think. We have kept up a constant,
systematic agitation along these line*,
and very few who have heard our
speakers and read our literature have
failed to catch a note of warning
against this Infamous evil, and all have
learned of the great results followli
the systematic, businesslike, organlzi
effort of this movement In Georgia.
"And everybody knows also that pro
hibition has been secured for our
great state. The first draft of this
splendid measure, by request from this
office, waa made by our honored pres
ident, Judge W, It. Hammond, and. as
slightly amended, waa championed by
and led through the legislature by
members of our official board. The
passage of this measure has been her
alded throughout the nation as one of
the finest pieces of legislation yet ac
complished under Anti-Saloon League
leadership.
"But it does not' end here. While
prohibition came with remarkable
swiftness and apparent ease, Its en
forcement and euccess will prove to be
quite a different matter. Jinny of the
friends of tho movement realize that
the real work and heroic efforts of the
league will begin In earnest with the
ushering In nf the new year, and to this
end a conference of the temperance
forces of Georgia has been called, to
bo held In Macon January 9 and 10.
1908.
"At thla conference tho history and
success of Anti-Saloon League work In
Georgia will be given, and the plans
for future work will be thoroughly
discussed and determined upon.
"It is expected that a great gather
ing will be there. It Is urged that every
chu.ch and Babbath school, and even-
temperance organisation In the -state,
will send at least one delegate each,
and that all Intending to go will Im
mediately write to Rev, T. D. Ellis,
president Bibb County Anti-Saloon
League. Macon, Ga., and so advise,
him that his committee may know how
to arrange therefor.
"The best possible arrangements will
be made for railroad and hotel rates,
and the committee will announce same
through the press.
“The state league officers, members
of the board of trustees, and the presl
dents of local leagues, will be recog-
nlied In the convention by virtue of
their official positions; all others upon
credentials from the bodies they rep
resent. The public generally Is Invited
to attend and witness and encourage
the deliberations of the conference.
“Again we urge everybody who pos
sibly can to attend this convention and
assist us all they can, advise with us
and help ua to plan wisely for future
work. J. B. RICHARDS,
