2 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. TUESDAY, JUNE 3, 1913. Trade and Crop Re ports irom the South —FROM BRADSTREET’S. Charleston, S. C.—Trade and collec tions are very quiet. Very few future orders are being placed, and buying is ..done to supply immediate needs. Cotton "“'is progressing slowly . because of lack of rain. Chattanooga—The large number of visitors here attending the Confederate veterans’ reunion has greatly stimulated retail trade. Jobbers of dry goods and groceries report a brisk demand, and col lections are fair. Feeling among manu facturers regarding the tariff is opti mistic. Memphis—Wholesale trade shows considerable activity, and many orders are being booked for future delivery. ’“Retail trade is brisk. Collections are ' good. Farmers report a good stand of “ cotton, with prospects much better than last year. Atlanta—Wholesale merchants report increased sales, and house trade is good. Retail trade is only fair. Cotton is in ."'good condition, and the outlook is fa- , vorable. Savannah—Trade in all lines is only fair, and collections are very slow. Cot ton is so far in good condition, rains •^having materially aided growth, and but little replanting will be required. BIRMINGHAM—Inquiries for pig iron are better than for several months, and while some quotations are made at 7£$11.50, material for the second half of ‘the year is quoted at $12. It is esti mated there are about 150,000 tons in the yards of this district. The annual output is aproximately 2.000,000 tons. ■Prices for lumber are still unsettled. Wholesale trade in heavy hardware is good, though business at retail is not so active, owing to strikes of building hands. Jobbers of groceries, dry goods, produce and similar lines have not as yet felt the effects of the strikes. Coal and coke producers report a*very good volume of business for the season. Recent rains were very beneficial to cot- ._ton, and with good weather prevailing .. the situation is very favorable. Collec- ,,tions in all lines are backward. The .general outlook is promising, with a good feeling in evidence. : \ MOBILE—Hardware jobbers report ’'trade rather quiet for this season of -vlthe year, but other lines are fairly ac- tive. Collections are rather slow 7 . »... MONTGOMERY—Rains have been beneficial to growing crops. Poor stands ‘ of cotton, with the crops four weeks late, are reported. Trade in all lines is ^>fair. Collections are poor. JACKSON—Trade continues quiet, ,,.,with collections slow to fair. Farmers ..report favorable crop conditions. THE CROPS. m.. The crop report as a w 7 hole is a bet- . ter one thi,s week than last. Some re- ^^luction of the high May 1 condition is ,i, noted as regards winter w 7 heat in ^-southwest Kansas, Oklahoma and por- tions of the belt east of the Mississi ppi, but there is still promise of more than 100,000,000 bushels gain over last ~~ year’s short crop. The Pacific north west reports good cryp prospects. "Warmer growing weather lias, iarrived in the northwest, and j spring' wheat is reported in good to fine, shape, except ■parts or North Dakota where it is toe* ' 'dry. A - small decrease in spring wheat area is probable, taking the crop as «* ' whole, but the combined yields of win ter and spring wheat promise to heavily » exceed last year. The oats crop is the most spotted of all the cereals, and crop accounts are very conflicting. A decrease in area • and a heavy decrease from last year s large crop, which was probably over estimated, seem probable at this writ ing. Oats have been harvested in Tex as with a good yield, and prices locally have -dropped sharply. Corn planting is rather late in the west, and especially So in Iowa ana Nebraska. East of the Mississippi rivet planting is finished except in some lov. spots. The plant has therefore had an irregular s'tart, but warm growing weather now following the rains will push the plant. Cotton reports are almost uniformly goud, rains having broken the drought, except in parts ofq South Carolina. Tex as, the low r er Mississippi valley ana Georgia send good reports. Some com plaints still come from parts of Alaba ma and the neighborhood of Charles ton, S. C. «r-~ Southern corn, sugar and rice reports are good, and warm growing weather is K-for the time being the only thing JJ needed. I H I 09VERIK910 SUITES WHITFIELD C0MVICT - DROWNS NEAR DALTON DALTON, Ga., June 2.'—While in swimming at Willowdale, north of here, yesterday afternoon, ^Jim Peak, ^ negro felony convict, sent to the county gang from Fulton, was drowned and another convict had a narrow escape from the same fate.

MEMORY IMPROVED | Since Leaving Off Coffee E ________ gj Many persons suffer from poor mem- 2! ory who never suspect Coffee has any 2£: thing to do with it. tT The *drug—caffeine—in coffee, act» C5 injuriously on the nerveS and heart, causing imperfect circulation, too mucn £ blood in the brain at one time, too lit- ~ tie in another part. This often causes 22 a dullness which makes a good memory £? nearly impossible. £ “I am nearly seventy years oM and dm £ not know that coffee was the cause ot the stomach and heart trouble 1 suffer- ♦ ed from for many years, until about 2' four years ago, - ’ writes a Kans. woman. £ “A kind neighbor induced me to quit "Z coffee and try P^stum. I had been £ suffering severely and was greatly re- duced in flesh. After using Postum a 22 little while I found myself improving. 2: My heart beats because regular and now ^ I seldom ever notice any symptoms or 22 my old stomach trouble at all. My nerves are steady and my memory cie- 222 cidedly better than while I was using coffee. “I like the taste uf Postum fully as well as coffee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle & Creek, Mich. Write for booklet, “Trio f ; Road to Wellville.” K Postum comes in two forms. Regular (must be boiled.) jw - —■ % Instant Postum doesn’t require boii- £ ing but is prepared instantly by stirring 2. a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup L of hot water, which makes it right for v most persons. T A big cup- requires more and some •jjj people who like strong things put in a £2 heaping spoonful and temper it with, a J2 large supply of cream. S Experiment until you know tn*3 IT amount that pleases your palate and ~ have it served that way in the future. “There’s a Reason” for Postum. Crops in New Mexico and Idaho Damaged by sions of Pests Inva- (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 2.—Two grass hopper invasions, one in New Mexico the other in Idaho, already have been re ported to the department of agriculture this year. Nothing official has been heard, however^ of the rumored appear ance of the pests near Chico, Cal., al though the government has a 180-acre ex periment station there. “Every year we receive reports of grasshopper plagues from ten to twenty- five sections of the country,” said Prof. F. \V. Webster, in charge of the work today. “Many of these are local and soon die out; others do considerable dam age before they are checked. It has nev er been possibzle even to estimatee the amount of damage.” Damage in New Mexico Restricted to "Dry Claim" (By Associated Press.) ROSWEL, N. M., June 2.—The dam age done so far by the grasshoppers in northeastern New’ Mexico has been re stricted exclusively to the “'dry claim” region around. Elida, but there are no indications as to what destruction the hoppers may bring when they have de veloped wings, is the way Prof. A. G. Hammar, government entomologist sta tioned here, described the situation. He based his observations on personal In vestigation of the hopper-infested area. “The damage done so' far,” said the expert, “is very slight, and only gracing land in the dry belt near Elida has been injured. An area of possibly 125 square miles .has been infested, And‘to this all the damage to date has been restricted, due to the fact that the hopeprs have not yet developed wings. They are com pelled to march and forage as they go. and they have progressed les sthan ten mile sin more than three weeks. “They probably will develop wings in a month and may migrate a hundred miles or more and *do much damage. “Those V I examined are of the migra tory species, and not the differential, as has been reported. No great pest, like this country knew in the ’80s is expect ed from this species.” mi KILLED Harris H, D'Antignac Dead and Four Others Injured-Were Returning From Barbecue (Special Dispatch to The Journal.)

WASHINGTON, June 2.—President Wilson’s attendance upon and partici pation in the senate lobbying investiga tion will be welcomed by members of the senate committee. Senator Overman, chairman, stated tonight that he would confer with the president Monday morning and indicate to him the com mittee’s desire to co-operate with him in making its probe. He will tell Mr. Wilson that the committee will gladly accept any suggestions he may make, and will welcome his prestige at its session. The whole inquiry, it is conceded, turns largely upon the definition of what is a lobbyist and what is lobby ing. The president is expected to fur nish the answer, since he started the inquiry. He is entirely willing to as sume the responsibility, and he may •be relied upon to lend the probers his hearty support; also, it may be stated that the president has pretty clear and well established ideas -Concerning lob bying and lobbyists. Senator Overman declared tonight that, in his opinion, the inquiry would cover a vast scope of ground. The busi ness and professional relations of every member of the senate with industries and products affected directly or indi rectly by the pending tariff will be dis closed by the inquiry. It is believed that a large number of senators will be £pund to be interested in some way with some of the manufacturing industries whose products are affected by the bill. Senator Overman says that he him self is the owner of five shares of cot ton mill stock. He added that he had never received a dividend on the stock and would gladly sell it for one-fifth of what It cost. Senator Bryan, of Flor ida, says he owns lion-ds on an orange grove in his state - and the products of this grove will be affected by the tariff. Leader Underwood is. interested in some pig iron properties in Alabama. The most searching Investigation and business connections of members ever undertaken int<S the private afafirs o fthe United States senate will be the outgrowth of this investigation which is to open Monday morning before a sub committee o’f the senate judiciary com mittee. While President. Wilson’s recent dec laration that a powerful lobby is at work to influence adtion on the tariff bill forms the basis for the investiga tion. questions prepared tonight by the committee to be asked of each member of the senate are such as to carry the investigation far outside of tariff mat ters. JAPS TO SEND ANOTHER PROTEST TO UNO Li Second Note on California Anti-Alien Land Law to Go Forward Soon (By Associated Press.) rOKIO, June 2—Another note from the Japanese government dealing with ques tions arising out of the recent California land-owning legislation is soon to be forwarded to Washington. The idea that the Ujiited States has not said her final word is prevalent here amd it is predicted in government circles, by inference, that no official action is to be initiated yet by Japan. The formal organization of a Japanese association in the United States to co operate with the Japanese government is greatly favored here and the object of the members of this association when it is formed, will be. to reach a permanent solution of the difficulty by means of a new treaty or by a change in naturaliza tion laws. 1HS TURTLE Lieutenant Jean Ferdinand Kreyder, of French Army, Caught in Storm ^By Associated Press.)

Senator Bur ton declared that all the benefits that might lie in the regional reserve plan could be found in the central reserve plan and insisted that only through some such central, autthorltative agency could stability be assured in times of financial storms. “The objections to the regional plan in the first place that it is not truly national.” said the senator. “All our ban-vinsr business, ‘like transportation and many other commercial and indus trial operations, is more and-more be coming national, and this applies with special emphasis to the utilization of banking reserve. Separate and unrelated organizations would seek to maintain their own credit and supply their cwn customers wituout regard to the needs to others. There would be no effective unity of action in facing a financial storm. TRAD THOMPSON NAMED MINISTER TO COLOMBIA Prominent Texas Democrat Succeeds James T, Dubois at Post (By Associated Press.)

Th^y are endeavoring to in duce the authorities to proceed with a thorough examination of all the waters of the infected districts and rid Italy of a plague which claims 60*000 cases an nually. The professors have found that the in fected water may easily be made safe for drinking purposes by putting into it a quantity of carbonated chalk.

Provisional President Gives No Intimation as to When Suc cessor Will Be Chosen (±»y Associated rres*.) MEXICO CITY, June 2— No intima tion has yet been given by Provisional President Huerta as to when he will issue the decree calling a presidential election. It is considered certain that he will not delay for long the formality of is suing an official call, as both houses of congress have passed a measure fixing October 26 as the ^ate. General Felix Diaz is the only candi date who has frankly entered his name for the election, but it is regarded as probable that he will be met by the oposition perhaps of Manuel Calero. former Mexican ambassador at Wash ington. and possibly of Francisco de la Barra, minister for foreign affairl, as the representative of the Catholic party. fTne tone of a large part of the press and the expressions of opinion of many people, including numerous friends of Felix Diaz, indicate that his popularity has waned and that there is little chance of his election.
