Trade and Crop Re
ports from the South
—FROM BRADSTREET S.
NEGROES GOING BACK TO
THE SOIL AS FARMERS
• RICHMOND.—Trade is irregular,
some lines being active while others
tend to slowness. Weather conditions
have favored farm operations, and corn
and cotton planting-Js well under way.
• Frost has injured fruit crops in some
sections. Winter wheat is in fair con
dition. Shipments of early vegetables
are fair, and prices are high. Whole
sale dealers in shoes* and dry goods re
port fair orders. Retail trade is fair.
Collections are slow r .
» CHARLESTON.—Wholesale and re
tail dealers still complain of dullness in
trade. Collections are slow*. About
the same acreage is being planted in
cotton as last year. Weather condi
tions are good for farm operations.
CHATTANOOGA—Wholesale lines re
port flllingr-in orders. Retail dealers
ar c active, and they are getting ready
for the veterans* reunion, which meets
here during the latter part of May.
MEMPHIS.—Local jobbers report
business fair. Collections show slight
improvement. Warmer weather stimu
lates retail trade. Plantirig is progress
ing, except in the high water district.
ATLANTA.'—Trade is better in all
lines, but collections continue, slow.
Weather conditions are almost ideal for
farming, which is being done this year
on a more businesslike basis, and there
is a greater diversification of crops.
SAVANNAH—Retail trade, because of
cool weather, is a little backward.
Wholesale dealers report that business
is fair. Collections are slow. Prepa- I
rations for the cotton crop are going I
forward rapidly, and prospects are good, j
BIRMINGHAM.—Lumber dealers re- j
port that business is only fair. Job- j
btrs report some improvement in sales, |
and retail trade has been stimulated by
warm weather. Collections are slow.
Farmers have taken advantage of good
weather, and some progress is being
made with planting.
MOBIL*E—Jobbers report wholesale
trade fairly active. Retail trade is good.
Some.little improvement is noted in col
lections.
MONTGOMERY—About the same
acreage is being planted in cotton as
last year, with an increase in corn. Rain
is needed. Hot, dry winds are retarding
growth. Wholesale trade continues
quiet, and a slight improvement is noted
in retail lines. Collections are poor.
JACKSON—The recent break in the
Mississippi levee has inundated several
counties in the delta. Cotton planting
elsewhere is about finished. Cotton acre
age is larger. Wholesale trade is fair
and retail is good. Collections are fair.
NEW ORLEANS—Weather conditions
have been good, and planting is being
continued in. a satisfactory way. In
those sections immediately adjacent to
the river a constant fight' is going on
to prevent breaks in the levees. So far
there has been no serious developments
on the Louisiana side. Planters
however, who have lands in those sec
tions that have heretofore been over
flowed are holding back for the time be
ing. The general outlook in Louisiana
seems to be good barring the possible
overflow. Jobbers report a fair volume
of business, though it is mostly of the
filling-in kind. Retail trade is active
and collections are fair.
DALLAS—Jobbers of dry goods and
men’s furnishings report an excellent
volume of business. The wholesale im
plement trade shows a good increase
over this time last year. Collections
are fairly good. On account of unsea
sonable weather retail trade is quiet.
Good rains have fallen throughout the
entire state, and the wheat and oat crops
are practically assured. Cool weather
■has somewhat retarded the growth of
- corn. Cotton is doing well.
SAN ANTONIO—General wholesale
lines report sales good. Collections are
fair. Retail trade is very good, this
being fiesta week, but collections, as a
rule, are slow. Indications point to
.record clips of wool and mohair. The
country needs rain badly. San Antonio
; is crowded with visitors.
THE CROPS.
Crop reports are encouraging. Winter
wheat is in excellent shape, and needed
rains are reported in the sttaes west of
Z the Mississippi. Kansas crop reports are
the best since 1908, and an unpreceden
ted crop is possible in that state. Show-
~ ers have tended to delay sprjng wheat
seeding in parts of the northwest, but
2 though a little late, progress is good
as a whole in that section.. Oats seed
ing is active in the northern belt. An
area a- trifle less than last year’s is
indicated, partly because of lower prices
and also because there may be a nat-
£ ural reaction from last year’s large
~ acreage, which, it will be recalled, sup-
planted killed out winter wheat. In Ohio
p the area in oats will me smaller, also
£ probably in Indiana and Illinois. Corn
~ plowing is making fair progress, but
planting is only completed in Texas and
** Oklahoma.
In the south the general report is fa
vorable as to crop progress or planting,
the only uncertainty being in the south
ern Mississippi valley, where the fight
to hold the levees still goes on. A few
breaks have flooded some areas in Ar
kansas and Mississippi but in Louisi
ana the levees still remain intact. Except
near San Antonio, in Texas, rains are
reported to have been general and to
have practically assured wheat and oats
yields. Cotton is doing well, though
the weather has been too cool. There
will be a larger area in corn and other
fodder crops in the south, but the area
in cotton -promises to be as large as
in the heaveist years.
Sociological Conference Spak-
er Proves Remarkable New
Trend by Figures
That th© movement of the negro pop
ulation In the south, and over the
country for that matter, is away from
the cities to the farm, where the negro
is achieving a new economic status ag
riculturally as a land-owner and pro
gressive worker of the soil, was the
somewhat surprising statement by Prof.
E. C. Branson, of Athens, at the socio
logical conference on the race problem
Saturday morning, held in the Baptist
Tabernacle.
Professor Branson supported the
statement by census figures showing
marked decreases of negro population
i nthe rural communities.
He cited figures showing very mate
rial Increase In the area of land owned
by negroes .and figures which indicated
that the negro farmer is progressing
along lines of intelligent tillage.
Professor Branson’s subject was. “The
Negro Working Out His Own Salva
tion.’’ He not only said the negro must
do this, just as every substantial race
i nthe world’s history has done, but
that the negro is doing it.
“The negro's salvation.” said he, “will
not be worked out by editorials, con
ferences .resolutions or legislation. It
will be worked out by the negro him
self. working from within himself and
working slowly, stubbornly, against un
toward circumstances and environ
ment.’*
HAS ADVANCED RAPIDLY.
Prof. Branson contended that the ad
vance of the negro race in the south
since the Civil war was been more
rapid than th eadvance of any other
equally backward rac$ in history, and
especially more rapid than the advance
of the Russian serfs, who were freed
in 1861.
Prof. Branson’s address, and the ad
dress of Miss Grace Biglow House, of
St. Helena Island, S. C., were the only
two of several on the program to be
delivered in person, except for the
opening talk by Dr. James H. Dillard, of
New .Orleans, who presided.
Prof. W. M. Hunley, of the University
of Virginia, was scheduled to make
an address on “The Economic Status of
the Negro,” but was prevented from
attending, and sent his address, which
Was read and proved to be very inter
esting. He said the negro is turning
away from the spelling book to the
pocketbook, but is deficient in the mat
ter of health, owing to illiteracy and
bad sanitary living conditions.
DREAM OF THIRTY YEARS.
After the formal program, the con
ference was opened for volunteer
speeches. Among those who spoke were
Bishop W. R. Lambuth, a former Af
rican missionary, now working in Bra
zil; Bishop Tfhirkield, of New Orleans,
who said he had waited thirty years
to see such a conference as this; Dr.
Flannegan, who gave an interesting
account of improved conditions resulting
from co-operation between white and
negro doctors in Virginia; Dr. Weather
ford, of Nashville, who made a fa
vorable report on negro schools in Vir
ginia, recently visited by him; and
Dr. Carter, a negro preacher of At
lanta, who spoke with much common
sens© and good will on some of the
local progress toward solution of the
problems of his race.
The meeting was well attended by
delegates to the Sociological Congress,
and by a very encouraging ‘number of
reresentative negro preachers and edu
cators and negro citizens of Atlanta.
ROBERT DUNBAR

STABBED TO DEATH
WITH POCKET KNIFE
*; AUGUSTA, Ga., April 26.—During a
quarrel in a soft drink establishment

OPELOUSAS, La., April 26.—“Show
me one man in Opelousas who does not
believe that this boy is Robert Dunbar
and I can make a fortune by exhibiting
him in a side show,” said a citizen today
when called on to identify the child
taken from W. C. Walters, an umbrella
mender, at Columbia, Miss., and claimed
by Mr. and IV^rs. C. P. Dunbar as their
son, who was kidnaped last August.
The physician who. treated Robert for
burns on his foot a year ago and the
scars from which played s/bme part in
the identification of the child, made an
examination of the boy today and de
clared he was positive no mistake had
been made in Robert’s identity.
Robert recognized today several of his
former playmates and was quick to re
member an old negro servant ^ho he
has called his “Uncle Jack.”
WOMAN BLANKETS CELL
TO KEEP BBT VISITORS
Mrs, Kate King and Nick Wil
bur Decline to Talk to
Any One
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., April 26.—Nick Wil
burn and Mrs. Kate King will not be
tried in Jones county next Monday for
the murder of James King, a well
known planter of that county. Colonel
John R. Cooper, who epesents Wilburn,
i* going to make a test of Judge Park’s
refusal to gant his client a change of
venue. He expects to take the mat
te* before % the supreme court, since he
has introduced two witnesses who
swore his client would be in danger
should lie be tried in Jones county.
This evidence was furnished by Wil
burn’s father and brother.
The appeal of the motion for a
change of venu means that Wilburn
will not face trial before next fall,
and it is probable that Mrs. King will
not be tried until that time. Wilburn
is delighted with the action of his
counsel, and says that he feels sure
that he will not be forced to return to
Jones to stand trial, the place where he
is allege - to have murdered King.
Mrs. King, who is confined in the
Jones county jail, is much perturbed
over her recent indictment. She has
placed thick quilts over the door and
windows of her cell Iq prevent any vis
itor from getting sight of her. In a
few weeks the stork will pay her a
visit. One of the characteristics of
Wilburn since he has been confined
here is his refusal to talk of Mrs.
King or even mention her name. To
press representatives he has absolute
ly denied admittance to his cell and to
his jailors he has refused to talk of
his case for fear of press notices.

HELD UP BT COMMITTEE
His Appointment by President
Wilson May Not Be Con
firmed Until July
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, April 26.—The senate
census committee again today failed to
reach a conclusion with reference to the
nomination of William J. Harris, of
Georgia, for director of the census. It
was decided to defer action pending a
conference with President Wilson con
cerning the nomination. If the president
indicates a desire to have the nomination
confirmed speedily, the Democratic
members of the committee will get be
hind Harris and urge confirmation. If,
on the other hand, the president indi
cates a willingness that the nomination
shall be held up until July, pending the
completion of the thirteenth census by
Director Durand, it is likely, that the
committee will take no further action
for the present.

HEAVY DEMAND NOTED FOR
COMMERCIAL FERTILIZER
The Sunbeam
Howto Avoid those PainsandDistress
Which so Many Mothers Have Suffered
It is a pity more women do not know of
Mother’s Friend. This remedy softens the
muscles, enables them
to expand without
strain and enables
women to go through
the ordeal without
pain, nausea, morn
ing sickness or other
dreaded symptoms so
familiar to many
mothers.
There is no foolish
diet to harass the mind. Thousands of
Reports from the headquarters of the
various fertilizer factories and oil mills,
which operate mixing plants in Georgia,
located in Atlanta, indicate that the
tonnage of commercial fertilizer which
has been hauled from the oil mills and
warehouses in the state during the week
just closing has been one of the heavi
est of the season. The continued warm
weather, the best of the season so far,
has put all of the roads in good condi
tion; has enabled the planters to
plough; and the ground has been fairly
yearning for cultivation.
The wet weather throughout the
spring has put the farmers behind in
their planting and. they realize they
must depend largely upon a heavy appli
cation of commercial fertilizer to have
their crop up and fruited in time to
escape frost. The number of fertilizer
tags .sold by the department of agricul
ture indicates that the demand is ex
pected to increase during the next few
weeks.
The area under cultivation is not ex
pected to be much greater, this year,
than last, but the productivity, due to
increased fertilization, is expected to be
larger.

women no longer resign themselves to the
thought that sickness and distress are nat
ural. They know better, for in Mother’s
Friend they have found how easy it is to
banish all those dreaded experiences.
It is a subject every woman should be
familiar with, and even though she may
not require such a remedy, she will now
and then meet some prospective mother to
whom a word in time about Mother’s
Friend will come as a wonderful blessing.
This famous remedy is sold by all drug

INAUGURATION COST
SUBSCRIBERS LITTLE
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, April 26.—Patriotic
Washingtonians who subscribed to the
fund to defray the expenses incident to
the inauguration of President Wilson
are not such heavy losers as they ex
pected to be, for each will find In his
mail today a check for 14.06 per cent
of his subscription. This will bring the
total returned to the subscribers up
to 94.06 per cent, as 80 per cent of the
money they paid in was returned to
them March 24.
Those who subscribed to the fund
were reconciled to a heavy loss when
it was announced that the inaugural
ball would not be held because of the
expressed desire of the incoming presi
dent. The ball always has been the
. :ie great revenue-producer at inaugura
tions. Through careful management,
however, the finances of the inaugura
tion were so handled that the subscrib
ers will lose only 5.94 per cent.

PRESIDENT IS PRAISED
FOB SELECTING
South Carolina Endorses Ap
pointment of New Federal
Judge by Wilson
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA, S. C,. April *-26.—In se
lecting Associate Justice C. A. Woods,
of the South Carolina supreme court,
as the successor of Nathan Goff as
judge of the fourth circuit. President
Woourow Wilson has been warmly
praised by the people of this state. No
selection could have been made which
would have met with the more cordial
indorsement of South Carolina, and this
state feels that Mr. Wilson has showed
his appreciation in the way South Car
olina voted for him from first and
lest to be the standard bearer of the
Democratic party.
The new federal judge has served
over ten years dn the supreme bench
of the state, and Is one of the mo'st
highly respected and popular men who
have ever adorned the bench He is
a native of Marion, a graduate of Wof
ford college, and a leader in all that is
highest and best in the citizenship of
the state. In 1912 Justice Woods was
r elected to succeed himself for a term
of ten years.
The elevation of Judge Woods to the
federal bench will leave a vacancy on
the supreme court which cannot be
filled until the legislature meets in
January. Under the lavf the governor
cannot appoint to a vacancy on the
Tench unless the term is for less than
one year. The term of Judge Woods
is over nine years.
There are five members of the su
preme court in this state and whenever
an attorney demands a full court the
supreme court notifies the governor,
nominates a man and the governor ap
points him to sit in any certain case.
But this can be done only for a certain
ca e, and if this process is followed an
appointment of a.special associate jus
tice for each case will have to be made.
Tie members of the supreme court,
in addition to Justice Woods, are Chief
Justice Eugene B. Gary, Associate Jus-
t ces D. E. Hydrick, A. B. Fraser and
R. C. Watts.
For Judge Woods’ place on the su
preme bench the names of Circuit
dge George W. Gage, Assistant At
torney General F. H. Dominick, Mr. S.
J. Nichols, of Spartanburg, have al
ready been mentioned.
ASHEVILLE STREET CAR
1 GO ON STRIKE
Mob Blocks Attempt to Oper
ate Cars, Which Now Are
at Standstill
(By Associated Press.)
ASHEVILLE, N. C., April 26.—Near
ly 100 employes of the Asheville Power
and Light company, comprising the en
tire force of motormen and conductors
operating the street railway system of
this city, went out on a strike at noon
today after taking their cars to the
barns.
The strikers are being advised and
counselled by George Keenan, of Roch
ester, N. Y., fourth vice president of
the Amalgamated Association of Street
Car Men of the United States and Can
ada. They demand an increase in pay
from 21 to 25 cents 'an hour, instead of
the old rate of 18 to 21 cents an hour.
The demands of the men were first
presented to the company April 19, and
various meetings have since been held.
Negotiations terminated a£ noon today
when the company was informed by tel
ephone that the cars were “on the
way to the barn.” The company, the
strikers say, refuses to submit the
claims of the men to arbitration.
Office employes and street workers
of the company operated about half
the usual number of car’s today, but
all were withdrawn about 8:30 to
night. This action followed successful
attempts on the part of a mob of boys
and young men to cut the trolley ropes
of the cars. The company announced
tonight that no cars will be operated
tomorrow, but it is expected that suf
ficient men to operate the entire sys
tem will arrive here for work on Mon
day.
Wealthy New Yorker
Slays Himself Before
Many School Girls
NEW YORK, April 26.-—Edward W.
Gaines, a wealthy real estate operator,
walked into a group of young women
leaving a commercial school on Lexing
ton avenue late last night, stood there
for a few moments twirling -his silver
headed cane, and then crossed the
street, where, in sight of all the young
women, he pulled a revolver from his
pocket and fired a shot into his right
temple. He died in the hospital less
than an hour later.
The man was driven to his act by
the tortures of an illness, which had
partly paralyzed him and which threat
ened his life. He had left his wife in
the early evening, without any signs of
the depth of his despondency.
A ,letter found in the man’s pocket
indicated that he had been promised
treatment by Dr. Alexis Carel, of the
Rockefeller institute, who recently won
the Nobel prize for distinguished work
in surgery. There were eight other let
ters, three of them addressed to per
sons in St. Louis, his former home.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.. April 25.—As a re
sult of head-on collision between pas
senger trains, Nos. 104 and 101, north
and south bound on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad near Carbondale,
Tenn., early today one man was killed
and several others seriously injured.
A number of passengers were severely

Bowling Green, Ky.
The injured:
Engineer Hockersmith and Fireman
Miller, train No. 104.
Engineer Blackwell, train No. 101.
All seriously hurt.
Misreading of orders is said to have
been the cause of the accident. Both
locomotives were demolished and bag
gage cars badly damaged.
Mr. Borden said he believed his
daughter was either in New York or
nearby, and declared that, if necessary,
he would hunt for her all over the
world.* “Some one will pay dearly for
this,” said the father. “I know that
my daughter is not back at the sani
tarium, and I am pretty positive that
she has not gone abroad.”
Mr. I^orden added that the initials
“M. A.'B.” on a suit case in the auto
mobile that took Romona from the
Pompton, N, J., sanitarium revealed the
identity of one of the women who aid
ed his daughter’s flight. Inquiry at the
woman’s home in Brooklyn today show
ed that she Went to Atlantic City Wed
nesday.
Word from Atlantic City said that a
girl answering Miss Borden’s descrip
tion left a hotel yesterday afternoon
with three women and took a train for
New York.

FORMER MINISTER
GOES TO CHAINGANG
HHYGE LEAVES AMERICA
AFTER YEARS Of SERVICE
British Ambassador Addresses
Pilgrims’ Society Before
Departure for England
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, April 26.—James Bryce
on the eve of his departure for home,
after six years as ambassador to the
United tSates from Great Britain, said
his farewell to the American people
last night in an address here before
the Pilgrims’ society of the United
States. He referred with feeling - to
his cordial relations with the three
presidents, whohad been in office dur
ing- his service in Washington, and
said he had no words to convey his
sense of the kindness with which he
had been received during his travels
in America. Four trips across the
continent and visits to every state in
the union, he said, had given him ac
quaintances in all sections.
Referring to the friendship existing
between America and Great Britain Mr.
Bryce expressed the hope that, this
might be extended to embrace other
countries. He did not touch directly
upon any issue now pending between
the American and British government.
This statement, however, was regard
ed as significant: “With good will
and with a conviction that one of ev
ery nation’s highest assets is that
sense of national honor which will
make it live up to its international ob
ligations, all questions between na
tions can be adjusted and I am sure
that any questions between your coun

To Rise From the
Equitable Ashes
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, April 26.—T. C. DuPont,
of Wilmington, Del., has purchased for

A mortgage of $20,500,000, the largest
within recollection of Manhattan real
estate dealers, was recorded against the
property yesterday. When completed
the skyscraper will represent an invest
ment of approximately $30,000,000.
The new building will occupy the en
tire block bounded by Broadway, Pine,
Mercer and Cedar streets.
MRS. BENNETT
SAYS “PUBLISH”
Thinks Her Letter Made Pub
lic, Might Result in Some
Good. All Ladies Should
Read
Henderson, Tex.—In a letter from
this place, Mrs. T. V. Bennett says:
“Last November I was taken very sick,
and had two doctors. They doctored me
for most everything that could be
thought of. and at last they told# me it
would be necessary to have an opera
tion. I couldn’t give in to this, although
I was suffering great pain.
Finally, I decided to try Cardui, the
woman's tonic, and I hadn’t used it but
a short time before I was up, feeling
gcod. and able U> do my work.
I am still getting along fine, and can
recommend Cardui, the woman’s tome,
to all suffering women. I shall always
praise this great medicine.
If you think my experience would be
of any benefit to any suffering woman,
you are at liberty to publish it.”
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, is strictly
a woman’s medicine, made up of pure,
harmless, vegetable ingredients whicn
act directly on the womanly constitu
tion.
It stimulates the weakened organs,
and helps build them up to health and
strength.
We receive numerous letters, every
day, similar to the one above. If it has
benefited so many thousands of other
women, why shouldn’t it do the same
for you?
Give Cardui a trial.
