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 RECOGNIZED BY FAMILY PHYSICIAN STABBED TO DEATH WITH POCKET KNIFE *; AUGUSTA, Ga., April 26.—During a quarrel in a soft drink establishment ' on Broad street Friday afternoon, Thom as Hall, a brick mason, was stabbed in the heart with a pocket knife by E. M. Burkee a painter. Hall died on the way to the city hos pital. Burkee is in jail. (By Associated Press.) 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. .1 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.

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. RESULTS THURSDAY Southern.

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. American. Boston. 6; Washington, 3.

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.

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.

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. N.
