COTTON SULL IN IHE LEM).
Mr. J. L. Berry, at Griffin. Ga., is at
the Interstate fair with the finest cotton
exhibit ever shown before. Undoubtedly
he has the finest variety of cotton ever
discovered in America. The largest bolls,
the most prolific, the hardiest grower,
and the finest staple. Hundreds of prac
tical farmers in Georgia, Alabama, Mis
sissippi and Texas say it is the finest
cotton they ever saw grow. One man
planted one pound of the seed, tn Red
River bottoms, last May. and says he
would not take SSO for the seed he has
raised from that pound. Lots of farm
ers are speaking for seed to plant their
entire crop. All parties wanting seed,
had better order soon, as the demand
will be ten times as great as the sup

The trading In basket grapes and California
fruit, Tokay grapes, peaches and pear*, has
been quite active, and all receipts of fresh
stock bas shown good results to the handlers,
the market is very much congested, however,
on decayed California fruits of which there
was a glut several weeks ago. and has con
tinued to rot. which has made the sale slow.

Cranberries and celery selling well at fairly
good prices. «
Demand for cocoanuts very light, however,

Irish potatoes plentiful with a normal range
of prices existing.
Sweet potatoes slow sale and there Is no

The demand for onions Is unusually strong

R. G. Dun & Co.'* Review.
R. G. Dun & Co.'* review say* today:
Unfavorable signs are rare In the business
outlook. Manufacturing Industries enjoy ex
ceptional activity, and most jobbers and re
tailers find no occasion for complaint. Mild
weather to»the one influence that may be
charged with retarding retail merchants dis-.
trlbutlon, yet there is general confidence that
any sales thus postponed will be made up
later. The same Influence Is invaluable In
facilitating the handling of crops, erecting
buildings and other outdoor work. Although
a fifth of the year to still to be heard from.
Including the usual interruption of election*
and possible disturbance of legislation, there
to ample evidence that the volume of legiti
mate business will largely exceed ail previous
records. Speculation to comparatively quiet,
both in securities and options on leading
products, which emphasizes the activity in
trade channels as shown by bank exchanges
for the week at New York, 33 per cent larger
than last year and 8.04 above 1899, while at
other leading cities the gains were 13.3 and
9.1, respectively.
Strength without inflation still summarizes
the Iron and steel strike, evidence accumu
lates that the year will surpass all records
In production of finished material and conse
quently In consumption of ore and pig iron.
Orders already booked for delivery far into
1902 promise that the next year will bring
still higher records, and the steadiness of
prices makes the outlook especially favorable.
Mills as a rule have practically cloeed con
tracts for all the orders that can be filled this
year, and future developments can only affect
conditions In 1902 as to finished steel. Heavy
order* are recorded for rails with a free move
ment of etructural material, while wire and
wire nails go abroad in large quantities. Pig
iron to hardening under the vigorous demand,
forge and southern foundry securing definite
advances, and Bessemer In Pittsburg Is firm
at 816. Tin plates are almost restored to
normal prices. Since domestic mills have re
sumed and Imports ceased, the London market
has declined sharply. Copper rose In the face,
of reports that a large redaction In list price
was contemplated by leading producers to re
duce stocks.
Footwear factories still have many weeks
full employment an heavy weight goods for
winter. Supplementary orders for seasonable
lines still arrive from eastern jobbers. Prices
are not quotably higher, though the rapid rise
of leather and hides have taken so much of
the profit that shoes must soon deteriorate
In quality, if better quotations are not forth
coming. Leather has begun to exhibit symp
toms of speculation, but buying by the lead
ing manufacturer for actual consumption also
reaches a large total.
Cottons movs freely with prices well sus
tained for all lines and definite advances in
bleached goods.
Woolen goods are more quiet, yet shipments
of over 5,000.000 pounds of-wool weekly from
Boston Indicate no decrease in activity at
the mills .

DESTRUCTION INEVITABLE.
The Pine Forest* of Georgia Cannot Be
Saved, Saye Wright.
In regard to the ' published statements
that Dr. Charles H. Herty, of the Uni
versity of Georgia, has recently stated
that a remedy for the destruction of the
pine forests was necessary in order to
preserve the turpentine industry of the
state, Assistant Commissioner of Agri
culture Wright stated Friday morning
that he did not see how this was possible.
Captain Wright stated that Dr. Herty
was undertaking a movement which, if
carried out, would preserve one of the
greatest resources of the state, that of
preserving the pine forests, but that he
did not believe it could be done.
Dr. Herty has suggested that the pine
forests as they are boxed for the rosin
in them and after aoout four years die
and are sawed into lumber, they should
be replanted and in this way keep the
forests of the southern portion of the
state growing as rapidly as they are cut
down.
Captain Wright stated that bills had
been presented to the legislature provid
ing severe restrictions on persons tapping
trees for the naval stores products, but
that it seemed none of the measures have
become effective in reducing the slaugh
ter of the pine forests.
"The pine forests are gcflng,” said Cap
tain Wright this morning. “There is no
help for it. The trees cannot live long
er than four years ai<.er they have been
tapped. To grow a pine forest so that it
will produce rosin in abundance would re
quire about 40 years. Business men. land
owners or any othfer class cannot wait this
length of time for the development of
their lands. The- lands of south Georgia
are too valuable for cane, cotton, peas,
potatoes, cassava and other products to
be allowed to He idle.
“The farmers of north Georgia are now
looking to the southern portion of the
state for farm lands. It is an inevitable
movement.
“If we could preserve the forests it
vould accomplish a great deal, but the
demand for naval stores calls for whole
sale and almost indiscriminate destruc
tion of the pines. Already firms in
Savannah, the largest naval stores
port in the world, are going into
Alabama for their raw products, the
Georgia fleld now being almost exhaust
ed. The department would gladly co
operate in any way to stop the present
destruction of trees.”
Every negro in the south will feel a
shade whiter, now that one of their own
color has had th© privilege of eating at
the same table with the president’s fam
ily. The southern race problem can nev
er be settled so long as men like Mr.
Roosevelt persist in adding fuel to the
flame.

• There’* Money In Apple*.
“I read what Colonel Mark Hardin had
to say about the mopey there is in peach
es,” remarked a prominent north Geor
gian in the arcade last night, “but let me
tell you that Commissioner of Agriculture
Stevens has hit the keynote when he ad
vises our people to pay more attention
to apples. There is no section of the coun
try that can grow finer apples than middle
and north Georgia, and the beauty of it is,
they can be grown with comparatively lit
tle trouble. Especially is this true in the
section north of Atlanta. I was up at
Cornelia a few weeks ago and I saw
scores of barrels of as fine apples as
you would wish to see being shipped to
Atlanta. I learned that absolutely no at
tention had been paid to this Industry
farther than to gather the fruit.
"Now, here 11 a crop that will net the
grower from S4OO to SBOO an acre, and if
properly developed will be worth as much
to Georgia as the peach crop. Commis
sioner Stevens is right when he urges
that more attention be paid to apple grow
ing. As for my part, I had rather have
60 acres of apples than the same amount
in peaches. In the first place the trees are
harder, longer-jived and require less cul
tivktion, while the fruit is easier to gath
er apd less perishable and less expensive
to ship.
“Georgia is the greatest state in the
union,” continued this enthusiastic Geor
gian, but she can be greater still if her
farmers will follow the advice of Com
missioner Stevens; not only as to rais
ing apples, but hay, grain and the other
crops upon which he lays so much stress.
Mr. Stevens, by the way, is doing a great
work for Georgia. He has the double ad
vantage of being both a practical farmer
and a splendid business man, and the
farmers of Georgia cannot do better than
to follow his advice to the letter."

Surgical Operation* for Piles Dan=
gerous and Unnecessary.
The failure of ointments, salves and
pills to permanently cure piles has led
many to believe the only cure to be a
surgical operation.
But surgical operations are dangerous to
life and, moreover, are often unsuccessful
and at this time are no longer used by
the best physicians nor recommended by
them.
The safest and surest way to cure any
case of piles, whether itching, bleeding
or protruding, is to use the Pyramid Pile
Cure, composed of vegetable oils and
acids, healing and soothing to the in
flamed parts and containing no opium or
other narcotic.
Dr. Williams, a prominent orlflclal sur-<
geon, says: "It is the duty of every sur
geon to avoid an operation if possible to
cure in any other way, and after many
trials with the Pyramid Pile Cure I un
hesitatingly recommend it in preference
to an operation.
“The harmless acids and oils contained
in it cause the blood vessels to contract
to a natural condition and the tumors are
absorbed and the cure is made without
pain, inconvenience or detention from
business. ,
“In bleeding and itching piles the Pyra
mid is equally valuable.”
In some cases a single package of the
Pyramid bas cured long standing cases;
being in suppository form it is always
ready for use; can be carried In the pocket
when traveling: It is applied at night and
does not Interfere with the daily occu
pation.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is not only the
safest and surest remedy for piles, but it
is the best known and most popular from
Maine to California. Every physician
and druggist knows it and what it will do.
The Pyramid Pile Cure can be found at
all drug stores at 50c for full slxed treat
ment.

GOOD ROADS TRAIN
THROUGH THE SOUTH
TRAIN WILL LEAVE WASHINGTON
NOVEMBER 1, OVER SOUTH
ERN RAILWAY.
Negotiations which have been pending
for some time were closed last week by
which the National- Good Roads associa
tion, assisted by the office of public road
inquiry, United States department of
agriculture, will run a “Good Roads Spe
cial Train” over the linee of the Southern
railway, stopping at various points for
the purpose of building sample roads and
holding meetings with the view of edu
cating the people along the line in prac
tical road building. These arrangements
were perfected by. President W. H.
Moore, of the National Good Roads as»
soclatlon, with the Southern Railway
company. It is planned to spend several
days at each point, giving ample time to
construct a road from one-half to one
mile long. ‘
President Spencer, of the Southern Rail
way company, is taking a great deal of
interest in this subject of good roads for
the south. Ever since the organization
at the National Good Roads association,
the Southern railway has been represented
at its national . meetings and many of
its public demonstrations, and this train
is distirictlvely a Southern railway unffer
takipg, to.be carried out at a heavy ex
pense to that'company, and is in line with
the development" policy so persistently
followed in building up the country tribu
tary to the lines of the Southern railway.
The train will leave Washington about
November 1. It will consist of about ten
cars, on which will be transported all
necessary machinery for the building of
roads, offices,. road experts and laborers.
The trip will consume several weeks.
So much has been said and written In .
regard to this subject of good roads that
the people of the south are practically
in thorough accord with the idea that
good roads are l an acquisition to the
country. It is desired that every citizen
of the south will, if possible, attend these
good road meetings and witness the
methods Introduced of building public
highways.
As the lines of competition are being
drawn closer and margins of profit nar
rower, every ’ element looking to the
economical production and , distribution
of the products of the country will be em
ployed, and as it has been thoroughly
demonstrated that good roads are the
prime factor in the upbuilding of every
section of the country, every citizen of
the south is expected to take a personal
interest in this subject. The south, it is
stated, needs better roads; every farm
would be benefited thereby, the public
will appreciate the advantages thereof
and it is thought the educational feature
carried on by the National Good Roads
association, supported by . the Southern
Railway company, will - accomplish the
purpose of this movement.
For the purpose of interesting the citl
sens of the communities adjacent to the
points where these meetings will be held
in attending them, low round-trip rates
will be made from points in the territory
tributary to the central meeting places.
30-MINUTE LAW~FAVORED.
Ordinance That Train* Be Brought In
to Depot at Interval*.
The proposed city ordinance requiring
that there shall be an interval of thirty
minutes between the entry of every train
that goes into the union denot. has-met
with widespread approval. The shed, ut
terly inadequate, is, under the present
schedule, always so congested with trains
and people, that every moment’is full of
menace to Hfe and a terrible tragedy is
likely to occur there at any time, and the
proposed law is considered an urgent ne
cessity. • : '
The leaky apd filthy condition of the
shed—enough in Itself to condemn the
structure as unfit for further use—has
now, since thi'opening of the fair, be
come a secondary offense against the city
and the traveling public, and the likeli
hood of being crushed beneath the wheels
of the moving trains come to the fore as
the worst feature of the nuisance.
Every hour brings to dozens of people a
narrow escape from death in this manner,
and it is only a question of time before
some unfortunate falls to run the dreadful
gauntlet suwe»*rully unless the law in
terposes its strong hand and protects the
people.
HILLMOR6AW DEAL.
Consolidation of Northwestern Rail
roads is Said to Be Near at Hand.
BURLINGTON, la.. Oct. 17,—What is
believed to t?e the flrs| tangible movement
in the Hill-Morgan deal for the consolida
tion of northwtstern'roads was taken here
when articles of Incorporation for • the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railway
company were filed in the county audi
tor's office. The capital stock of the new
company is $100,000,000. and its object, as
set forth in the articles of incorporation
is to. acquire the Burlington system and
other road* and to maintain a railroad in
the states of Illinois. lowi, Missouri, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming. South
Dakota, Montana, Wisconsin and Minne
sota. The life of the corporation began
October 15, 1901, and will continue for fifty
years with the 'principal place of business
in Burlington, lowa.
It is said that the corporation will take
charge of the Chicago. Burlington. and
Quincy Railroad -corppany and the many
lines leased and controlled by that com
pany and transfer them all together to
the Hill-Morgan syndicate.
The new corporation is legally entirely
separate from’ -the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad company. The old
company is incorporated under the laws
of the state of Illinois, while the new
one is controlled by the laws of.the state
of lowa. There is but one change in the
name of the company—the old is a "rall
road” company, the new a “railway”
company.
The incorporators, J. C. Peasley, J. M.
Deering, J. D. Connell, W. W. Baldwin
and E. M. Shelton, met in Chicago Tues
day and formed the articles of incorpora
tion, but nothing was then given out
about the matter. The same papers will
be filed in the secretary of state’s office
at Des Moines. . ,
•The first meeting of the incorporators
of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
Railroad company will be held in Burling
ton. The new Incorporators will probab
ly meet on Saturday and elect officers
and the steps contemplated for taking
control of the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy railroad by the new company may
then be disclosed.

BAD ODELIA LIVED HERE. .
Escapade* of the Gay Princes* Montez
Are Recalled.
The escapades of Aim Odel la Diss de
Bar, or Laura Jackson, who is said to
have been the Princess Montez in Atlanta
during 1881, are being now recalled by
those who knew her while she resided
here.
The Princess Montez came to Atlanta
from Florida. She secured apartments at
the Arlington hotel and immediately en- <
gaged a carriage from Mr. W. O. Jones, i
who then' had his livery stable on Loyd j
street. She paid $3 in advance. The entire
bill for the month was to have amounted
to SM.
A prominent steward in the First Meth
odist church—there is considerable conflict ]
of testimony as to who he Was—introduc
ed her into his church,- and there she gave
a series of lectures, all of ‘ them directed
against the Catholics. She said she had
been persecuted by the Cffthollcs.
Shortly after she began lecturing Mr.
W. O. Jones—having in the meantime
•ent his bill to her several times—sffld
that he believed she was a fraud and a
fake. She heard of the remark and sent
for Mr. Jones. After he arrived at the
Arlington she invited him to her room,
and having secured his presence, there,
she locked the doer.
The Princess Montez then produced a
cowhide and sweetly asked MT. Jones if
he had remarked that she was a fraud ]
and a fake.
Mr. Jones emphatically denied that he I
had made such a remark or that he had I
ever thought of such a thing.
“She weighed about 200' pounds,” said j
Mr. Jones in telling of the occurrence. |
"and was strong as Sampson. Os course ,
I did not want to hit a woman.»but I I
believe she could have whipped me any- '
way. However, I denied saying that she 1
was a fraud and. a fake, although I dis- I
tinctly remembered having said it.”
The Princess Montez then asked Mr.
Jones why he had not continued sending
the carriage to her every afternoon.
"T believe,” said Mr. Jones, “that I told
her the horse was sick and that he was
the only one I had.”
Anyway the princess did not cowhide
Mr. Jones and she continued her lectures.
After being here about three weeks
she was seen riding out Peachtree street
with Dr. Roderick Badger, a negro phy
sician, who is now dead, and that queer
ed her game in Atlanta. She was not al
lowed to deliver any more lectures and
she shortly afterwards skipped out, leav
ing behind a quantity of unpaid bills and
I. O. U’s as souvenirs of the “real prin
cess,” who smiled on Atlanta society folk
for three weeks. , ,
