THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA.. TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1913. v iftgfe? MISS PITER UNDAUNTE WHEN GALLED TO BIG JOB 0 ALL STATE RATE CASES TO COME DOWN MONDAY Trade and Crop Re ports from the South —FROM BRADSTREET’S. ■i Daughter of Fertilizer King Confidently Steps Into Shoes of Dead Father rs: 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. speerIefuses petition 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.” Had BEGAN YOUNG “Coffee Nerves” Youth From “When very young I began using coffee and continued up to the last six months,” writes a Texas girl. “I had been exceedingly nervous, thin Wr and very sallow. After quitting coffee - and • drinking Postum about a month t m y nervousness disappeared and has never returned. This is the more / remarkable as I am a Primary teacher and have kept right on with my work. “My complexion now is clear and rosy, my skin soft and smooth. As a ; good complexion was something I had, ..greatly desired, I feel amply repaid r ] even though this were the only benefit derived from drinking Postum. “Before beginning its use I had suf- rrtfered greatly from indigestion and : . headache; these troubles are now . unknown. “I changed from coffee to Postum without the slightest Inconvenience* Y did not even have a headache. Have known coffee drinkers, who were visit ing me, to use Postum a week without being aware that they were not drink- „■*. ing coffee.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Write for booklet, “The Road to Wellville.” Postum caries in two forms. I Regular (must be boiled). .< . Instant Postum doesn’t require boil- .. ing but is prepared instantly by stirring —. * a level teaspoonful in an ordinary cup of hot water, which ma.kes it right for most persons. A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream. Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have it served that way in the future. “There’s a Reason” for Postum. 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.
