■i Daughter of Fertilizer King
Confidently Steps Into Shoes
of Dead Father

NWk
H
JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 16.—De
spite the fact that she is the first
southern woman to have the business
cares of a big corporation cast upon
her shoulders. Miss Okie Painter, the
only child of the late E. O. Painter*
known as the fertilizer king, declares
she feels no doubt of her ability to
continue the work of her father as
president of the Painter Fertilizer com
pany, a half million dollar concern.
Mr. Painter lost his life when he fell
from a ferry boat in the St. Johns
river.
Whether he was accidentally drowned
or whether his death was suicide is a
question brought up through the fact
that he was one of the most heavily
insured men in the United States,
policies in force totaling 11,178,000, a
large part of that amount having been
written since the first, of the present
year. The fact that a big legal battle
will result before the insurance is paid
has been hinted strongly.
“Having been my father’s closest
adviser in life and knowing his plans
and views. I see no difficulty in car
rying on the business just as he would
had he lived.’ This was Miss Paint
er’s answer when asked as to her plans
for the business of which she has been
elected president.
"For almost ten years,” she said, "I
have been identified with the Painter
Fertilizer company, as my father's pri
vate secretary and as advertising man
ager. I know; every detail of the busi
ness. I have had a business training
peculiarly to fit me for the work. I
am a graduate of Stetson university
and have also taken a business course.
I am' a stenographer and bookkeeper
as well 'and although these are the
qualifications of a clerk, still they give
me a knowledge of business details
that I can utilize daily.
"There will be no radical change in
the conduct of the business. Every
thing will be carried out just as had
been planned by my father.”
Miss Painter is twenty-seven years
old and has the bearing of a business
the command of "captain of industry”
woman in her every move. She sits
at the desk of her late father with
and the discipline she maintains among
the office attaches is as strict as that
of the regular army. One might forget
that she was a woman insofar as the
showing of any feminine traits in the
conduct of the business of the day.
Like her father, she ’ is early at her
desk and late to leave.' She cares little
for the dictates of fashion or society
and suits her habits and garb to the
needs of her work.
"There should be no clamor about a
woman taking up the reins of busi
ness,” she said, "if she is prepared
for the work, and I believe I am.’
That the company has faith in her
t ability to head the concern is appar
ent in the fact that at the same meet-
- ing at which she was elected to the
- position a dividend of 10 per cent was
' declared just as had been planned be
fore the death of her father. Other
plans, which include an expansion of
the business are going ahead under
her management.

FOR INJUNCTION ON CARTER
(Special Disbpatch to The Journal.)
MACON, 6a., June lC.—The L. Carter
company, of Odom, won another decis
ive victory in the United States dis
trict court this morning when Judge
Emory Speer refused the petition of
several alleged creditors to grant an
injunction against L. Carter, as pres
ident of the company, and as an indi
vidual.
Without even hearing from the de
fendant company, and before Attorney
Isaac, for the petitioners, had finished
his arguments, Judge Speer held that
he could not issue an injunction as
prayed for. He again alluded to the
poverty of the claim against the L.
company, and said that Mr. Isaac’s
“showing was excedingly attendated
and ehadowy,” and far from being suf
ficient to justify the appointment of a
receiver or to authorize the issuance
of an injunction.
BANNER CROP YEAR IS
REPORTED IN WILKES
WASHINGTON, Ga., June 16.—Possi
bly this is one of the banner years for
Wilkes county’s grain, as reports from
every section of the county report that
the yield of oats is the greatest in the
recollection of the oldest inhabitants.
Many say that the grain crop of ’82,
which has been said to be the greatest
in the history of this entire section, will
not equal that of this year. It is a
true saying that Wilkes is certainly
“feeling her oats.”

U, S, Supreme Court Puts
Finishing Touches on Deci
sions to Be Read Monday
WASHINGTON, June 14.—Finishing
touches to the supreme court’s decision
in the railroad rate cases from Missouri,
Arkansas, Kentucky, Oregon and West
Virginia are believed to have been added
today in secret conference. The deci
sions. with those in the other forty-nine
cases before the court, are expected to
be announced Monday.
Justice Hughes is picked by most law
yers familiar with the court procedure
as certain to announce the conclusion
of the court, as he did in the Minnesota
rate cases. In doing so he will review
the opinion of Judge Smith McPherson,
of the western Missouri circuit court.
By a strange coincidence. Judge Mc
Pherson in that opinion commented up
on “moral courage’’ of Justice Hughes,
then governor of New York, for vetoing
a 2-cent passenger bill. Judge McPher
son held the Missouri maximum freight
rates and the 2-cent passenger law con
fiscatory and enjoined their enforcement.
“The relations of a governor to pro
posed legislation and those of a court
to legislation consummated,” held Judge
McPherson, “are entirely different.”
• The apportionment of value and ex
penses of the railroads on the revenue
basis as done in the Missouri cases by
Judge McPherson, was disapproved in
the Minnesota cases. Those errors, Jus
tice Hughes said, were not sufficient to
change a return of 3.5 per fcent into a
remunerative rate.
In the Missouri cases, Judge McPher
son held that the return from the
freight rates would result in a deficit
on the Hannibal’ and St. Louis and the
Burlington, and a return not exceed
ing 2 per cent on the other sixteen
reads concerned.
The return from the two-cent pas
senger law, according to the judge,
Would show no profit on the Rock
Island, St. Louis and Hannibal, Kansas
City, Clinton and Springfield, and the
(Sreat Western;* a profit of from 3 to
4 per cent on the St. Louis and San
Francisco; 4 and 5 per cent on the
Santa Fe; a fraction over 2 per cent
on the Kansas City Southern and be
tween 3 and 4 per cent on the Bur
lington.
In viejv of that finding, many be
lieve the supreme court will first con
sider whether errors in valuation and
apportionment have been sufficient in
the Missouri cases to convert a deficit
or low return intp a reasonable return.
Many think the court may find the laws
valid as to certain roads, and invalid
as to others.
Several points not considered in the
Minnesota rate cases are expected to be
passed upon, either in the Missouri
or the Arkansas rate cases. Among
them is the question as to what return
the roads are entitled on their prop
erty. In Missouri the court considered
6 per cent a reasonable return. In the
Arkansas cases Judge Trieber declared
the earnings should be 6 per cent and
in addition an allowance of 1 1-2 per
cent should be made as a surplus fdr
“lean” years.
On that basis, he held the Arkansas
maximum freight and two cent pas
senger law confiscatory, because he
figured the St. Louis, Iron Mountain
and Southern would make a net profit
of only three-quarters per cent and the
St. Louis Southeastern 2.6 per cent.
MAY USE NAVAL BOATS
TO EXPORT EXHIBITS
WASHINGTON, June 16.—The navy
department is receiving inquiries from
commercial organizations throughout
the country regarding the bill recently
introduced in congress providing for
the utilization of naval vessels for the
display of American goods in foreign
ports.
If these continue to come the depart
ment probably will get out a circular
answer pointing out what it regards as
the impracticability of such a project
from the naval standpoint. Officials
declare naval vessels are not con
structed to carry cargoes and that al
though they are rated at so many thou
sand tons displacement, once their
stores and coal are aboard, they are
fully loaded and any addition to that
load is inadvisable.
The misapprehension as to the capac
ity of warships appears to rest upon
the confusion of such craft with the
ordinary cargo boats, according to na
val office^.
ALBANY IS PEER OF
PROTECTED CRUISERS
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 16.—-The Alba
ny, Commander L. L. Bristol, is the
peer of the protected cruisers of the
navy in elementary gun practice, with
a rating of 43.644, the navy depart
ment announced today. The Des
Moines, Commander A. S. Long, with
15.575, and the Cincinnati, Commander
J. V. Chase, with 11.593, came next in
order of merit.
In the gunboat class, the Mayflower,
Commander M. A. McCully, stood first
with 53.998, the Villalobos, Lieutenant
E. Durr, second with 38.60, and the El-
cano, Lieutenant Commander Sinclair
FRIDAY, THE THIRTEENTH,
IS WEDDING DAY
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
QUITMAN, Ga., June 13.—Oblivious
to the superstition attaching to Friday
the 13th, 1913, Miss Sallie Lou Wilkin
son, of Quitman, and Rev. A. H. Rob
inson, of Waycross, were married here
today.
The bride is a pretty and accomplish
ed young woman and has been a teach
er in the Wa'ycross schools the past
two terms.
Mr. Robinson is Methodist minister
of Waycross. The ceremony was per
formed by the bride’s brother, Rev. J.
C. Wilkinson, of Columbus.
Strike Lasts Six Hours
MILAM, Italy, June 16.—A general
strike of the workmen of all trades was
proclaimed here today as a protest
against the condemnation to prison of
eighteen workmen who were arrested
for various offenses during the recent
strike at the iron works.
The authorities have taken energetic
measures for the maintenance of order.
Thus far quiet has prevailed. A party
of strikers last night cut the gas pipes
in one district.
The strike was called off at noon arid
most of the men returned to work.
$3,000 Fire in Macon
MACON, Ga., June 16.—Three houses
on Arch street were damaged to the
extent of $3,000 last night, by fire be
fore the fire department was called
to extinguish the flames. The houses
were the property of W. II. Whitehead.
The origin of the fire is unknown. The
household effects in all three of the
two-story dwellings were a loss. W. J.
Mann, one of the boarders of the house,
was slightly injured in escaping from
the building after the fire was discov
ered.
Charleston, a. C.—Trade continues
quiet, and considerable complaint is
noted as to the scarcity of money. What
buying is being done Is for immediate
needs. Cotton made considerable prog
ress up to June 0, but the sudden
change to cold weather will retard its
growth somewhat.
Chattanooga.—Retail dealers report
sales up to the average, and collections
are slightly improved. Wholesale gro
cers are doing a good business, but dull
ness Is noted In other lines. Cool nights
have retarded the growth of crops
slightly, but not to such an extent as
to materially affect them.
Memphis.—General trade in staple ar
ticles is good, and jobbers report sales
ahead of last year. Cold weather has
retarded retail trade. Collections are
slow. Crop prospects are the best in
years.
Atlanta.—The coldest weather on rec
ord for this season of the year was ex
perienced during the week. It had its
effect on trade, but it is the opinion
that it was not severe enough to injure
growing crops to any extent, other than
to make them backward.
Savannah.—Retail trade has been re
tarded by unusually* cool weather.
Wholesale dealers report business as
good as could be expected under exist
ing conditions. The crop outlook is
good. Collections are slow.
Birmingham.—Business in coal and
allied lines is good and a better feeling
prevails. Inquiries for pig iron are
larger. Building material is active, and
at present construction work involving
approximately $10,000,000 is under way.
So far this year production in all lines
is in excess of last year for the same
period, with prices practically un
changed. Lumber is about stationary.
Dry goods, groceries, hardware and sim
ilar lines report a good volume of busi
ness. Collections are still slow. Rains
have benefited cotton, which is in very
good condition.
MOBILE—Heavy rains in this section
have been very beneficial to crops. Job
bers in all lines report trade fairly ac
tive. Retail trade is good. Collections
remain slow.
MONTGOMERY—Business is quiet.
Collections poor. Considerable improve
ment is reported in crop conditions.
JACKSON—Wholesale trade is fair,
and retail lines have been stimulated
by clearance sales. Collections are slow.
The crop outlook, except in districts in
fested by boll weevil, is good.
NEW ORLEANS—Extremely cool
weather for this season of the year x has
retarded crop growth, but it is believed
that no material damage has resulted.
Nearly all of the parishes iff Lousiana
report satisfactory conditions. Cotton,
corn and rice are doing well, although
the weevil is appearing in some locali
ties. Sugar can is doing well, except
that growth has been retarded by the
cool spell. With good weather condi
tions prospects will improve. General
trade conditions with jobbers are quiet,
and collections are somewhat slow.
SAN ANTONIO—Wholesale trade is
fair to good and collections are fair.
Prospects are good. Saddlery lines re
port an active business. Heavy machin
ery is dull. Cotton is doing nicely and
the acreage is much larger. Fruits and
truck garden stuffs are plentiful.
THE GROWING CROPS.
Reports to Bradstreet’s indicate that
crops, though retarded in growth by
cool weather, are on the whole good,
and, except in oats, there are few com
plaints of real moment. Winter wheat
yields in eastern Missouri, western Illi
nois, southwest Kansas and Oklahoma
will not equal early sanguine expecta
tions. In Missouri and Illinois yields
will exceed last year, while Kansas and
Oklahoma will be about equal. Har
vesting is on in Kentucky, Tennessee and
as far north as southern Illinois, and
the crop generally is in a forward con
dition. In eastern Washington the
wheat crop will be large.
1 Reports of a scare in North Dakota
spring wheat sections have their basis
in a deficit in rainfall coming on a
crop much of which was disked In and,
therefore, needs plenty of moisture. The
yield in that state cannot, of course,
equal last year’s enormous crop, but
in South Dakota and Minnesota spring
wheat and other small grains are in
excellent Condition.
Cool weather has retarded corn the
country over, but stands are good, and
since the warm weather following the
dbld snap and moisture of this week,
reports from Iowa, Illinois and other
large corn states are better.
Frosts along the northern tier of
states have done some damage, from
Michigan east to New York, to small
vegetables, berries, etc., but the large
staple crops are reported to be unaf
fected. Grapes are reported to have
suffered severely in some northern New
York sections.
The oats crop is a spotted one, Illi
nois and Missouri sending the most
complaints., Still, cool, moist weather
experienced in most states is not usu
ally a bad feature for oats.
lOxtremely cool weather is reported in
the south east of the Mississippi riv
er, but aside from retarding growth,
no injury is perceptible, and reports as
a whole point to an exceptionally good
condition ruling. Corn, rice and cane
are doing well in the lower Mississip
pi valley. Boll weevil has affected the
crop in some Louisiana parishes and in
parts of Mississippi.
Berry crops in Washington are of
record size. The apple crop will be
smaller. Wisconsin will have very large
fruit yields, but in Michigan the prom
ise is not so good. Grapes are reported
in poor shape in the Keuka lake dis
trict, near Rochester, N. Y., and straw
berries and truck have suffered all
along the frontier.
Tne burley tobacco crop in Kentucky
promises well. Most of the plants have
been set out.
THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.
Large but not many bumper crop
yields are apparently forecasted in the
government crop report for June. The
general average of all crops Is a shade
lower than a year ago and 1 per cent
below the ten-year average. A bump
er winter wheat crop is a possibility,
but oats, barley, hay and spring wheat
hardly promise as well as a year ago,
when, however, all records of produc
tion of these staples were broken.

BRECKINRIDGE REVIEWS
ARMY OF 8,000 MEN
TEXAS CITY, Tex., June 16.—A fea
ture of Assistant Secretary of War
Henry S. Breckenridge’s inspection
visit he ertoday was a grand review
of the entire seconu division of the
United States army in camp here.
Eight thousand men and all the army
equipment were in line.
TWO NEW ADDITIONS ARE
MADE TO THE FREE LIST
Transfer of Iron and Steel
Raw Materials Brings Cut
to $27,000,000
WASHINGTON, June 16.—The trans
fer to the free list of the tariff bill of
iron and steel raw materials, with an
estimated dutiable value of more than
$600,000 a year, was approved today by
the majority members of the senate
committee. This increased the senate’s
addition to the Underwood free list to
an aggregate annual loss of $2,000,000
in revenue, making the total estimated
annual revenue less from the free list
about $27,000,000.
After an entire day spent on the sub
committee’s report of the metal sched
ule, Chairman Simmons announced it
had been widely cut, nearly every item
of the schedule being reduced. To the
free list were added pig iron, ferro
mangeanese, steel, blooms, slabs and bil
lets. On all finished steel products an
average reduction of 10 per cent was
made from the Underwood rates, lead,
zinc and aluminum were left unsettled
to be disposed of Monday.
Aluminum will be changed from an ad
valorem to a specific tariff basis and
the duty will be reduced, but it will not
be transferred to the free list as many
had advocated. Aluminum experts will
be called in Monday to go over the com
mittee’s proposed specific rates.
All structural steel which was made
dutiable at 12 per cent in the Under
wood bill has been reduced compen
satory to the free listing of raw ma
terials the average rates being about
10 per cent ad valorem. The raw ma
terials were placed on the free list
largely because they are controlled by
the United States Steel corporation.
Senator Simmons said the administra
tive features of the bill which have
presented such a problem would be
acted upon Monday or Tuesday and
that the bill would be ready for the
caucus by Wednesday or Thursday. It
was agreed by many of the Democratic
senators that it would have been well
had there been no attempt at this ses
sion to revise the tariff administrative
regulations.
Inasmuch as the house bill has made
changes and the senate has considered
the subject for many weeks, it finally
was determined that the revision task
should be completeed. All Democrats
of the finance committee, however,
make no secret of their wish that it
would have been possible to retain the
Payne-Aldrich bill administrative priv
ileges until a commission could make
a thorough study of the subject.
On Monday the committee will take
up the agricultural and sundries sched
ules and the free list. It is predicted
the caucus will make few changes and
that debate on the measure can begin
in the senate by Wednesday, June 25.

hood, failing memory and lame back, brought
on by excesses, unnatural drnlns, or the fol-i

I think every man who wishes to fegftin his
manly power and virility, quickly and ’quietly
should huve a copy. So I have determined to
send a copy of the preparation free of charge
in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope, to nny

for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor

I think I owe It to my fellowman to tend
them a copy In confidence so that any man
anywhere who is weak and discouraged with
repeated failures may stop drugging himself
with harmful patent medicines, secure what I
