the earnest hope and desire (hat the

U. S. APPRAISER A 7 MANILA
IS STRICKEN WITH LEPROSY
Washington, Nov. 20.—Advices re
ceived from Manila state that George
Pfeifer, an examiner In the appraiser's
office of the custom house, has been
stricken with leprosy.
Mr. Pfeifer went lo the Philippines
with the 12th Infantry several years
ago. and upon his discharge In 1901,
was appointed to the place In the cus
tom house.
The through train service as contem
plated between Atlanta and Chicago,
which was expected to be put Into ef
fect next Saturday, will hardly be In
augurated before January 1.
It was understood st the conference
of railroads Interested at the Piedmont
hotel some days ago that th'e through
train from Cincinnati anil the train
from Chicago would consolidate at At
lanta for 'other Southern' points.
The new road-bed of the Louisville
nnd Nashville In North Georgia Is not
considered sufficiently settled to put
on through fast service fit this time.
The recent weather has not been at
all favorable for recently established
road-beds and the mountalnoua dis
tricts of East Tennessee and North
Georgia through which the new divi
sion of the Louisville and Nashville
runs made considerable grading neces
sary. anil while trains are running over
this road at present it Is not thought
to be sufficiently substantial to permit
a fast schedule for heavy passenger
trains.
Important Addition.
This through service, when inaugu
rated, will be maintained In addition to
the regular winter tourist train, the
“Dixie Flyer,” to be Inaugurated as
usual on January 8. This train will
connect Chicago. St. Louis, Atlanta, 8t.
Augustine and Jacksonville. The sched
ules for Ihe "Dixie FlyeF' have al
ready l>een arranged and are prtctl
rally the same as those of formsr
years.
The new train between Atlanta and
Chicago will be as finely appointed as
any In the country, providing luxury
and speed, and It Is expected that the
up-to-date equipment will prove a
drawing card to the wealthy touriste
who conelder comfort while traveling
above everything else. This Service
has been In effect before, but Its estab
lishment for all the year round will
prove of great lienefit to Atlanta and
the South and It Is expected to prove
successful from the beginning.
Railroad men Interested In tills
through Service say that the schedules
will be so arranged that the Chicago
train will probably depart from At
lanta at 7 a. m. so that passengers may
arrive In the Windy City the next
morning In time to transact business.
The .business Intercourse between At
lanta nnd Chicago has grown material
ly In recent years and It Is believed
that the fast schedule drawing the
cities closer will accentuate trade rela
tions until the South and West are
more securely cemented.

In point of attendance and promises to
be the most profitable meeting ever

The association will be In session two

That the planters of Texas, the
largest cptton producing state In the
world, are holding Ihelr cotton for 11
cents was substantiated by a com
munleatlori received Tuesday bj) liar
vie Jordan, president of the Southern
Cotton Association, from EL A. Calvin,
president of the Texas Farmers' Union.
Last year Texas planters raised about
2,800,000 bales,of cotton, while this sea
son they are expected to market over
3,000,000 bales. It Is one of the strong
holds of the E'armers' Union, and tho
minimum price of 11 cents, agreed
upon, will govern the cotton raisers of
the Lone Star State, and It Is under
stood that they will stand firm for this
price.
"Almost all the farmers In Texas
have sold enough of their cotton to
meet their obligations,” said President
Calvin In his letter, “and they are
holding the rest for 11 cents.”
"The farmers of the old stales," said
President Jordan In commenting upon
the letter of President Calvin, "should
stand by the action of the Texas farm
ers and through co-oparatlon all along
the line advance the price of cotton to
higher levels.
Worth 12 Cents.
'The unusual weather conditions that
have prevailed over the cotton belt
throughout the season warrant at least
12 cents for the staple. As soon as the
volume of cotton now In the Interior
hHS moved out, the price will go higher.
If the planters will only stand by each
other and wail.
"The present price of 10 1-2 cents for
cotton Is caused by the demand, and
It Is not a speculative price. A great
many of the farmers are content with
this price, but If they would only hold
back they would get 11 ccnta easy and
they should do It.”
President Jordan Is engagsd, after
his return from speech-making In
Gainesville and other points, with pre
paring for the county meetings of ths
S outhern Cotton Association the first
aturday In December, at which coun
ty officers and representatives to ths
state meeting will be elected.

FRANK JARVIS IS
INJURED BY FALL
SANITARIUM FIRE
INVESTIGATED BY
CITY DETECTIVES
The city detective department has In
stituted a thorough Investigation Into
the Are of Sunday morning that badly
damaged the new sanitarium of Dr.
Stockard In Crew street, near Fair, and
which Is believed to have been of In
cendiary origin.
The suspicious circumstances of th<>
Are were reported to . Chief Jennings
and he at once had detectives detailed
to probe the matter and ascertain all
of the facts possible:
The sanitarium has been In course of
construction for some time and was al
most ready for occupancy at the time
of the Are. *
Sunday morning about 7 o’clock th*>
building was discovered In flames and
before they were extinguished by tho
firemen the structure had been dam
aged to the extent of several thousand
dollars. «
When the firemen arrived on the scene
they made tho discovery that several
places about tne building had been
saturated with oil and this at mil
led to the Incendiary theory. It is
stated that the Are broke out Just after
the night watchman had left the build
ing and this is also regarded as a sus
picious circumstance. It being supposed
the fire-bug watched for the departure
of the watchman nnd then, applied the
torch before anyone In the nelghbor-
1 had stirred.
The blaze was discovered by u negro
man, who sent In a telephone alarm.
Tills negro knew there was a telephone
In tho tool house. Jusj in the rear <>t
the sanitarium, nnd, bursting In the
door, he called up Are department head
quarters and gave the Information
about the Are. The blaze started In
the rear of the building and had galneil
considerable headway before discov
ered.
The sanitarium Is a three-stnry
structure and had been leased by Dr.
Stockard. *
