AUGUSTA AS A MORSE MARKET
The Southern Express Co. Purchasing
horses in Augusta For Char,

Auguata has long been noted as one
of the moa. excellent horse and mule
market! in (be South Atlantic States.
The Southern Express company, which
knows and has the best of everything,
sent its purchasing agent, Mr. 0. M.
Sadler, of Charlotte, N. C„ (O Augusta,
u few days ago. to fill out a requisition
for three horses, tvo for Charleston
acd 'one for Columbia. Mr. Sadler
was in the city only a few hours, but
he had no trouble in gettiug the horses
he wanted.
Meters. Pedigo & Lyon acid the
horses and they were shipped to their
destinations today.

crop. Hrigbi irtahm and polofT
lugs wer- scare*, and were the only
grades remslnina as high as ever. Red
tips and tiller* showed a dec-line of
half a rent to a cent a pound. No really
good tobacco vu ottered except in oc
casional instance*, when It sold ss hislt
as J 19.75 a hundred.
Th.> dark mitrkrt has heed unchanged
except that there has been a good de
mand for Green Rivers, the season for
whieh ha* lust begun.
Total sales for the week were 1.473
hogshead*, of which 1,341 were Burley
and 411 were dark. Hale* for thMfnnnth
of August amounted t» 4 IMS t4vh<mis
Heostpls were 4.18* hogsheads “dtoeka
shewed an increase of 1.471 hogsheads
(luring the month and were 13,563 hogs
heads on September 1.
There appears to be brewing a war
lietween the American Tobacco Co. and
! Liggltt * Myers. For aome year* now
iihe latter company has been buying in
the country, while the American Tobac
[co Co. has done Its purchasing from
the warehouse* This season the truat
has employed seven men to gather sta
tistics a* to the growing erop, and it is
now arranged to put buyer* In the held.
It has rented two large warehouses at
convenient points In the Burley dis
tricts, and has taken cottons In flv*
more. It is gossip in the trade that
the trust means to make Its rival pay
higher for everything they get tn the
country.
The weather has be.-n perfect for the
growing crop, and the trade has now
settl'd to the belief that ft will be the
largest ever known. A buyer who has
traveled ever the whole state and who
has watched the crops for years. Boys
the Burley production will be 15,000
hogsheads In excess of any previous
crop. The datk yield will njeo be large,
and It Will not he surprising should
Kentucky turn out 300,000 hogsheads
and perhaps much more. Th ■ jdeld to
th" acre Is enormous, being 25 per cent
above the average. At least 60 per cent
of the Burley in the Bluegrass and one
third of the dark has already been
bound. Slocks are almost completely
exhausted, so even the big crop will
bring a good price.
Army and Navy League.
An important meeting of the Army

o'clock this afternoon at the Library.
Business of special importance will he
transacted and a full attendance of

The check was drawn on the National

McFarland was standing at the cash

was so Interested upon changing the
check for currency that he failed, to
notice the detectives until they seized
him.
McFarland was quickly disarmed
and a few minute* later was behind the

THE U. A. R.
11m Radsciiii Mswtlats Have New
I rrs Begun.
C'lti* Insist i. S' pt S. The business of
the thirty-second annual mrampoieiit
of »b* Cl. A. it. and auxiliaries began
1 1 day afier ihre* days of prvlimina-y
idaonal ration*.
The business mwslous were, however,
interrupted by a parade l of clvir and
Industrial organisation. Abotit 1.200
ustional delegate* were present when
the encampment proper waa called lo
I order in Music Hall at 10 a. m . with
Charles Wentxcll officer of the day.
The welcome address was delivered
by Gov. Bushnsli. with supplemental
welcome address by Mayor Talfel, of
Clni Innail. and M. E. Ingsils, chairmen
of the cltlxens' committee and presi
dent of the Big Four and Chesapeake
and Ohio railways.
In response, Ccmmander-tn-Chl of
(Jobln referred eloquently to the nl
tractitns of the week and the lavish
entertainment of the citizens of Cin
cinnati. Director General M< link also
made a fol'cltoua address of welcome.
At Ihe conclusion of these prelimin
aries the great ba.l was cleared of all
bu* members entitled to a voice In ihe
proceedings.
The encampment has much work In
considering the proposed revision of
the ritual and propositions for amal
gamation. It Is believed the proposi
tion to make those who participated iti
the Hlspano-Amerlcan war eligible
will not prevail, as Ihe latter day sol
diers will want a separate organiza
tion. There is more sentiment In fa
voring those who fought on the differ
ent sides and r-solrtlcns were offered
inviting the Confederate veterans to
meet with the O. A. R. next yea: 1 . The
Missouri delegation will likely present
the resolution, as that ktote was about
equally divided during lhe civil war.
It Is now stated that Gen. Sickles has
been named in good faith as a candi
date for eommandpr-ln-ehtcf ns a
m-B"8 of uniting the New York dele
gates. It is also stated that the name
of I. F Mack, of Ohio, will not be pre
sented by the Ohio delegates.
Bacon and the Peace Commission.
Washington, D. C., Sept. 8. A call,
by Senator Bacon of Georgia led *.o
some conjectures a 3 to the choice of
the democratic member o? the peace
commission. The senator declined to
discuss the call except to say that it
did not relate to tbe commissioner- 1
ship.
General Miles’ return to Washington
led to considerable corridor talk as to
what course would be adopted relative
to the general’s published criticisms.
Officially, however, nothing was.said
on the subject.
Soldiers to Hospital.
Fivp or six sldl; soldiers of the Tenth
regiment will soon be removed ,o the
Lamar hospital from Camp Dyer. The
removal of the camp to Lexington,
Ky., Is the cause of the soldiers going
to the hospital. Whether they will be
sent, on to Lexington after recovery is
not known. j

NO WINE FOR CHRISTENING.
The Illinois Should be Baptized With
Water.
Chicago, Sept. 8. The plan to
chrlfpen the battleship Illinois next
month by breaking a of wine
over the vessel Is opposed by the Wo
men’s Christian Temperance Union.
Mrs. Jcßfie Brown Hilton, secretary of
vbe Central Branch of Ihe organiza
tion, has announced that the temper
ance workers aJI over the country will
be loud in (heir protests. “It is not
merely a question for the national or
ganization,” said Mrs. Hilton. “It
seems to me that the state workers
should be particularly active In the
matter. It is the Illinois —named after
our own state and we should be par
ticularly determined in our fight
against such a thing. If Kentucky,
with her reputation, can christen a
ship with water, Illinois ought to be
able to bring about (he reform withoul
any difficulty. The Women’s Chris
tian Temperance Union will combat the
plan."
A Narrow Escape.
Henry Wilson, a negro hack driver,
had a rather narrow escape from
death lavt night. His hack collided
with a Southern railway shifting en
gine near the corner of Telfair and
Sixth streets. The hack was stiatier
ed, but Henry and the horse escaped
injury.
The many friends of Mrs. A. R.
Houston will regret to hear that she Is
quite sick at her home on lower Broad
