2 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1913. BOUNTIFUL CROP YEAR SAYS REPORT FROM S. C. Optimistic Expressions Come from All Sections to the State Commissioner (Special Dispatch to The Journal.! COLUMBIA, S. C., Sept. 8.—So-uth Carolina is to enjoy one of the most prosperous years in her history if the reports of the bountiful crops and the optimistic expressions from all parts of the state, are to belied upon. E. J. Wat son. the commissioner of agriculture is certain the Palmetto state is going to reap a gTeat harvest and that business will exceed that of many years past. In this opinion he Is seconded by experts from all parts of the state. With one of the best cotton crops in her history which it is believed will be close to 1„500,000 bales just second to the record, breaking crop of 1911, with the Fee-Dee and low country section having exceeded all past records both in the quantiy, quality and price obtained for their tobacco crop, with more and a •better corn crop than, probably, ever teiore, witlj truck, grain, and cover crops xceeding any previous years the mer- hants and banking men as well as the farmers and everyone else are wearing broad smiles and preparing for a fall which is expected to bread all records. While the states of the west are cry ing short cotton crops, South Carolina is looking forward to a record breaker both jn quanity, quality and price. But this is not the best, say they who know. Diversified farming, the work of the demonstration agents of the Federal government, tomato clubs among the girls, more corn and grain aad more cover crops have so fixed the farmers with borne grown products as to make the cotton crop almost a surplus to tnem putting the great mass of the farming class in independent- shape with money in the banksTwid with store houses full and prosperity abounding on every hand. THINKS FARMERS SHOULD • LEAD FIGHT ON WEEVIL ALBANY, Ga., Sept. 8.—That the leading farmers of this section should take the lead in the movement to pre pare for the coming of the boll weevil next year, rather than permit the busi ness men and trade organizations to take the initiative is the opinion of Mayor H. A. Tarver of this city, who says he intend* to work up a move ment among the big farmers of this section along this line. "It is all right for the chamber of commerce to take part in this move ment,” says the mayor, “but I do not think it is right for the organization to spend a large sum of money to bring experts here, hold meetings and other wise conduct a systematic campaign of preparation for the coming of -ae pest, as is now being planned, unless the farmers themselves take an active interest in the movement and contrib ute largely to the necessary expenses. The farmers are the ones directly in terested in the coming of the boll wee vil, and though we are all more or less indirectly interested, the farmers, it seems to me, should take the lead in the movement. That being the case, the business men, chamber Sf com merce and like organizations could lend valuable assistance, and the cam paign would, be more effective.” TRIED TO ATTACH FOR DEBT METEOR OF CLOUDS (By Associated Press.) NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 8.—While effort to attach a “meteor” in settlement of a debt has gone for naught. Prof. Charles W. Brown, of the de partment of geology of Brown universi ty, yesterday examined the so-called meteor which recently fell into the Tiver ton river and which was hauled out by A. L. Carr, a Tiverton fisherman. He acted on behalf of a creditor of Carr’s, who had heard that the meteor was worth several thousand dollars and de sired to attach It. Prof. Browm pronounced It a worthless piece of slag. HARRY ORCHARD WILL SEEK TO GET PARDON (By Associated Press.) NEW HAVEN, Sept. 5.—At the open- ard, self-confessed assassin of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, and at one time sentenced to be hanged, has published the required notice in a Cald well paper that he will apply to the board of pardons at the October meeting for a full and absolute pardon. A church of Waukesha, Wfs., is at the head of the movement for pardon. Dr. Blosser’s Catarrh Remedy Trial Package Mailed Free to Any Sufferer.

TRAINMEN ARRESTED FOR NEW HAVEN WRECK Engineer and Flagman Held Criminally Responsible for Disaster WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8.—Con- the interstate commerce commission pur sued its investigation into the fatal New Haven wreck of last Tuesday Cor oner Mix reported to the police today that there had been wholesale robberies from the bodies in the wreck’s debris. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Those bibu- ing of th efederal investigation into the New Haven' railroad wreck, Commis sioner McChord ordered General Mana ger Bardo, of the New Haven road, to produce the minutes of all meetings of the New Haven directors since the Bridgeport wreck on July 12, 1911. These would show, he said, what action would be taken “toward the betterment of safety conditions.” Engineer Wands, of the ill-fated Bar Harbor express, startled the crowd when he testified that the engineers on the New Haven road frequently “drifted by” danger signals in foggy weather. John C. Kelly, train dispatcher, pre viously had testified that weather con ditions on the morning of the wreck were “very foggy,” but that he had not considered it necessary to warn trains to reduce speed. Six trains passed over this stretch of track within half an hour, he said. The White Mountain express made the fastest time, the sheet showing an average of fifty-two miles an hour just before it crashed into the Bar Harbor train. “Did any of the trains have any in formation from you as to how close they were together?” asked Chief in spector Belnap. “No. I didn’t think they needed it,” replied the dispatcher. With Engineer A. B. Miller and Flagman C. H. Murray under ar rest and accused by Coroner Mix of crominal responsibility for the fatal North Haven wreck on the New Haven railroad last Tuesday, Commissioner McChord, of the inter state commerce commission, began a public investigation today to deter mine the causes of the disaster. Flagman Murray still was in jail this morning, but it was announced that the $5,000 bail would be furnished by the New Haven road today. This was by order of President Howard El liott, of the railroad. Engineer Mil ler is at liberty under a $5,000 bond, furnished by the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers. Both Miller and Murray, whose sto ries as to the causes for the wreck do not agreed, it w r as said, were called as witnesses today before Commissioner McChord. The “private” investigation of the coroner, begun yesterday and which lasted until midnight last night, cul minating in the arrest of the two train men, was continued today, again under police protection. “I do not expect to finish with my witnesses until some time next week,” said the coroner this morning. “Then my findings will be made public.”^ Schley Howard Puls Negro Barbers Out Of Nation's Capitol BY RALPH SMITH;. PROVIDENCE, R. I., Sept. 8.—An TOKIO, Sept. 8.—The Japanese pre- gressman Schley Howard is credited with having led the successful fight in last night’s Democratic caucus against the employment of negro barbers in house wing of the capitol. This means that twelve darkies, who have received $100 a month each, will give way to as many white barbers. FINES FOR “DRUNKS” GO TO COPS IN WASHINGTON (By Associated fress.) BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 8.—Harry Orch- lously inclined persons who plan a “flin” when on a visit to another city, had better remain away from the na tional capital or revise their plan of diversion. It developed today that all the fines rnecovered In police court for violation of the new excise law are be ing applied to the payment of pensions for members of the police and fire de partments of the District of Columbia. As a result the activity of the police has occasioned pleased comment by certain enthusiasts and bitter abjurga- tion by others. “It’s come to pass now where a man doesn’t dare even to hiccough in public,” said a man with a red nose, as he left the city hall*today. Since July 1, when the law became ef fective, the pension fund has been swol len by $9,000, and the prospects are that all pensions to the families of members of both branches of the service will be paid promptly hereafter. They have been in arrears. SHOOTINGS REPORTED; JAPS AT FEVER HEAT mier left for Nikko today to report to the emperor the shooting of a number of Japanese subjects during fighting be tween Chinese government troops and southern rebels in Nanking. In his con ferences with his majesty, the premier will decide as to the course of action to be taken by the Japanese govern ment. Public feeling in Japan is at a fever point. Some of the newspapers demand military action and urge the occupation of a Chinese seaport by the Japanese jntil full reparation has been made. BOTTLE OF BEER COST WORKMAN TEN BUCKS WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-—One bottle of beer, taken with his lunch, cost Ed ward McCormick just $10 although for years he had been accustomed to drink ing his beer at the same time and place on every working day. McCormick was the victim of the new excise law. Employed by a brewery, he, i n company with his fellow workman, had eaten their noon day meal on a platform that abuts on the street be yond the building line. He was quietl> devouring the last of a flagrant frank furter sandwich and raised .his bottit to his lips when he was arersted for dis turbing the peace in violation of the law. He was taken to police court. He paid. ARM CAUGHT IN GIN; DIES FROM AMPUTATION DUBLIN, Ga., Sept.' 8.—Hudson Tem ple was caught in a cotton gin late yesterday afternoon and his arm so badly mangled that it was necessary to have it amputated last night. He died later. Mr. Temple was about twenty-six years old. He v^s employed by Mr. B. M. Grier and'ft was at Mr. Grier's MEXIG ENVOY SEEKS LOAN FROAA U. S. Huerta’s Ambassador Is in Washington Conferring for Solution of Difficulties (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Manuel de Zamacona Ex Inclan, former Mexican ambassador to the United States and until recently financial agent for the Mexican government in London, will en deavor to carry forward in Washington the negotiations between the Huerta ad ministration and the United States for a solution of the revolutionary problem. Senor Zamacona comes primarily to con tinue the negotiations begun with John Lind, but his ultimate object is to ob tain for the Mexican government the loan which the United States declared in its second note it would encourage American bankers to float, if the Hu erta government accepted the chief American proposals. The administration here was sounded out as to the mission of Senor Zama cona, but had not given answer when the envoy started from Vera Cruz yes terday. There seemed to be little doubt today in official circles that the Washington administration would receive Senor Zamacona under certain conditions, as he is well known here and regarded as one of the ablest of Mexicans. • Senor Zamacona’s affiliations, howev er, have been with the financial, instead of the .diplomatic, side of the Mexican government. Some of the constitutional ists in Washington look upon him as the agent of the “Cientiflco” or financial group, that for a long time ruled Mexi co’s affaifs. As he has been so little a participant in Mexico politics, because of his long absence abroad, others are inclined to regard him as of a non-partisan dispo sition. His coming produced an optimistic ef fect in official circles. The offer of en couragement for a loan to Mexico had been conditioned on acceptance of Washington’s proposals. IJuerta’s ap parent decision to send Zamacona before word was received from Washington, was taken to mean today that the Huer ta government had, in effect, accepted the American stipulation that Huerta should not be a candidate for re-elec tion. Though there is no assurance on rec ord positively excluding Huerta from the presidential contest, the Washing ton government is taking it for franted that he will not run and is likely to encourage a loan under conditions that will further the effort to bring about a constitutional election and cessation of hostilities. The White House has taken the position also with respect to the loan, that if Mexico accepted the American proposals for the establish ment of peace it was incumbent upon the United States in return to assist in Mexico’s financial rehabilitation. JAP EXlMATlPS “WEAK POLICY IN CHINA” Count Okuma Urges Seizure of a Chinese Port and Fight on Anti-Jap Fever LONDON, Sept. 8.—Count Okuma. former foreign minister of Ja pan. supports the opposition critics of the government’s alleged vacillating and weak policy in China and urges the seizure of a Chinese port, says the Times’ Tokio correspondent. The correspondent adds that popular feeling is that, besides demanding com pensation the Japanese government ought to insure itself against a repeti tion of the Nanking incident by making a vigorous stand against the anti-Japan ese sentiments of a vigorous stand against the anti-Japanese sentiments of the Peking authorities. PANAMA CANAL TO BE CROSSED BY PONTOON (By Associated Press.) PANAMA, Sept. 8.—After considering several plans., to permit the crossing of the Panama canal when water is ad mitted to the Culebra cut and the pres ent trestle is abandoned, Colonel George W. Goethels, chairman of the Panama canal commission, has approved the use of a wooden pontoon adapted from the design employed by the railroads in crossing the Missisippi river at Prairie De Chien. The pontoon will be of suf ficient size to carry a railroad track and to have ,a roadway for vehicles. With its approaches it is estimated that the pontoon will cost $113,000. JAP VESSELS TO STATES NOW HAVE NATIVE CREWS (By Associated Press.) SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8.—R.

The change effected is in line with reently inaugurated policies of the com pany, which now is placing its vessels under the command of all-Japanese crews.

Will Be Held November 7 to 15, and Premium List Comes Out September 15 The Augusta Poultry association has announced to the poultrymen of Atlanta and the country generally that another big show will be held in Augusta, the dates being November 7 to 14, and the occasion being the annual Georgia- Carolina fair. The Augusta association lays claim to putting on the premier show of the south, and it is generally admitted among poultrymen that the Augusta shows have gone far towards justify ing the claim. The Augusta show was the first in the = country to adopt the plan of paying all premiums before the show closed, and it has not failed a single time since the first show several years ago. The premium list for the Augusta show now is in the hands of the printer and will be issued on September 14. The asociation claims that It has the best line of cups and cash specials ever of fered by a poultry organization in the country, not even excepting the big shows in Madison Square Garden. The show will be held in a large build ing on the fair grounds especially built for poultry shows. Empire exhibition coops will be used throughout the show, and each bird will be cooped spearately. The breed of the birds and the names of their exhibitors will be printed on the coops, a custom inaugurated by the Au gusta show and indorsed by the judges and the exhibitors, and which renders the show much more interesting to the spectators. The officers of the Augusta association are Dr. C. Cleckley, president; M. C. Jones, vice president; R, S. Guess, secretary; H. W. Gameron, assistant secretary, and Dr. G. W. Woodbury, treasurer. The association expects the poultry industry of Atlanta and vicinity to be represented at the Augusta show by many fine birds. COMMITTEE STRIKES DUTY ON WOOD PULP All Retaliatory Features Agai.ns’t Canada Removed From Proposed Tariff (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—The coun tervailing duty on wood pulp, proposed by the tariff bill, was stricken out by the finance committee, which presented a amendment to that effect today, and all retaliatory features against Canada were removed. Senator Smoot said he would vote for the amendment, but predicted that it would not be many years when the great pulp manufacturing business would be transferred to Canada. “The only result will be that the prof its will go to Canadian manufacturers,” said Mr. Smoot. “I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Mr. John Norris, of the American Newspaper Publishers’ association, in this success ful culmination of his long fight. Tie can go back to New York tonight and report success.” Senator Hughes in a statement relat ing to the retaliations against Canada on pulp wobd, said: “All the burdens of these retaliations must be borne by American newspaper publishers, who in 1912 paid indirectly a penalty of more than $3,000,000 in ad dition to the amount of retaliatory du ties paid directly. This indirect tax was due to the uniform and agreed and artificial prices which the combination of the American paper makers has con tinuously maintained. “No print paper can be bought in the open * market. American mills will not sell news print paper unless they know the destination of the paper, the pur pose for which it is to be used, and the name o fthe buyer. They starve the market by restricting production, as is shown by their monthly reports to the bureau of corporations. They have kept down the stock of paper on hand at the mills to an eight-day supply for all the newspapers of the country. $130,(1 SHORTAGE IN FORI WORTH BANK National Bank Examiner Re ports Defalcation, but It Will Not Affect Solvency (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—A defalca tion 'of $130,sOO in the State National bank of Fort Worth, Tex., was reported today to Thomas P. Kane, acting comp troller of the currency, by National Bank Examiner Van Zandt. The short age will not affect the bank’s sol vency. The bank examiner reported that the whereabouts of Vice President M. L. Woods was unknown. Comptroller Kane ordered that the facta be reported to the United States attorney at Fort Worth. The bank’s surplus and prof its amounted to $232,000, according to the last report to the comptroller. The capital is $500,000. Mammoth Skeleton Of Tricoralops Is Exhumed in Maine ORRS ISLAND, Maine* Sept. 6.—The petrified skeleton of a mammoth pre historic mammal has been uncovered, it is believed, at Grant Island. In digging for a well on his farm, here, Theodore lBullard, a nephew of President Emeritus Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard, found what is believed to be a mammal skull, a mass weighing 500 pounds, in a subentrance to the cave. Investigation showed other parts of the same supposed body. Souvenir hunters removed some of these but Mr. Bullard has guarded the remainder pending examination by sci entists. Dr. Marshall P. Cram, profes sor of geology at Bowdoin college, is to look over the find today. Mr. Bullard is of the opinion that it is the skeleton of a triceratops, described as a huge three-horned monster, twenty-five feet long and ten feet high, having twice the bulk of an elephant. GOV. O'NEAL EXPECTED TO Reported- He. Will Issue Soon Hot Reply to Attack of His Opponent (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) MONTGOMERY, Ala., Sept. 8.y-Gov- ernor O’Neal gathered his political ad visers together Friday ahd discussed with them the issuance of a reply to Congressman R. P. Hobson’s charge that he appointed Henry D. Clayton United States senator as the successor of Joseph F. Johnston because he was commanded to do so by Charles Lewis, sai to be managing director of the Ala bama forces of the Wholesale Liquor Dealers’ association . Conferences were held and the atack of Hobson was discussed, but no state*- ment was given out. Friends of Governor O’Neal were caus tic in their criticism of Congressman Hobson when they read his reply to Governor O’Neal statement issud last month. Congressman Hobson charged that “the milk in the cocoanut is that in the whole controversy the governor was carrying out the orders of his mas ters, the masters to whom he sold him self and to whom he has tried so con stantly to sell our bleeding state.” This statement is regarded as the most caustic reference ever made to a governor of Alabama. Another state ment which may bring an interesting re tort from Governor O’Neal Is Hobson’s answer to charges that he had been ab sent from roll call in congress enough to be considered guilty of neglect of duty. “True, I am not a chronic roll caller, a seat warmer, a cloakroom lounger, boozing around the capitol, tell ing smutty jokes,” said Congressman Hobson. “I say to the governor or any other man who deliberately makes this charge: ‘Produce your proof.’ ” Governor O’Neal’s reply may not be issued for several days, but it will come. It is understood it will be short and will be only in reply to Congress man Hobson's against the executive. PASS TARIFF BILL BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Although the ways are greased and the slim Dent*- ocratic majority is working with tre mendous zeal to force its passage tomor row night, it is privately admitted that the administration tariff bill hangs by a slender thread in the United States sen ate. The persistency of a rumor re specting Senator Newlands’ inclination to bolt his party, the loss of a Demo cratic senator from the state of Ala bama, and the certainty that the Lou isiana senators are off the reservation for keeps, coupled With the belief that the Progressive and Republicans will harmonize at the last moment, have added to the worries of the Democratic leadership. Senator Hughes, of New Jersey, was at the White House early this morning for a conference with President Wil son about the tariff situation. He echoed the general desire of the Demo crats to hasten the passage of the bill, and press it to a vote tomorrow night, but expressed a fear that unforseen de velopments might delay ‘the final test. The situation is so uncomfortable for the Democrats that a movement is being considered seriously to have the house accept all senate amendments to the bill in the conference rather than chance a second test in the senate. It is not known whether Leader Underwood and the house conferees will be willing to yield everything as an original proposi tion, but in the interest of safety this may be possible. Democrats in the senate are apprehen sive not only as to the attitude of New lands, but also as to the possibility of an eleventh-hour eruption from Senator LaFollette, militant Progressive leader. LaFollette has not been much in action at this session, and it is expected that he has been holding off until the last night to spring his oratorical pyrotech nics. . The Wisconsin senator is credited With saying that just now the public is giving little heed to the tariff, and that senatorial oratory is therefore, wasted. “But wait until the bill is placed oif its final passage, then the country will take notice and a speech will attract attention,” he is quoted as having said. DIDN’T KNOW WHATTO DO Pitiful State in Which Mrs. May Found Herself, and How She Escaped OPP, Ala.—In a letter from this town, Mrs. Carrie May writes as follows: “About two months after I married I began to have very bad weak spells and terrible headaches. I felt miserable all the time, and soon got to where I couldn’t hardly stay up. After the third month I got down completely. I was young, had never been sick be fore, and I just didn’t know what to do. I thought I would die. My husband, at last, got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and it helped me so, he got another bottle. When I had taken the second bottle I was well. I wish that every woman, suffering from womanly trouble, would give Cardui a trial. It’s is the best medicine on earth for womanly weakness.” Are you weak, tireti, worn-out? Do you suffer from any of the pains pe culiar to weak woman? If so, take Cardui. As a remedy for women’s ills, Cardui has been most successful. It is purely vegetable, composed of ingredients which have been found to build up the vitality and strengthen the woman ly constitution, as well as to prevent or relieve those terrible pains from which weak- women suffer. Cardui is worth trying. Judging from the experience of a million other women who have been benefited by this remedy, it should surely do you good. N.

POST FOR LAST TIME Ambassador- Herrick Kept Abroad for a While Be BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—It was defi nitely stated today that William F. McCombs, acting chairman of the na tional Democratic committee, would not accept President Wilson’s offer to make him ambasador to France. Mr. Mc Combs has had the tender under consid eration for nearly six months, and has experienced much difficulty in making up his mind. At times he let it be known that he would accept and at others has declared that he was too poor to ac cept. His declination is now said to be final. Coupled with the foregoing statement, was the report that Governor Cox, of Ohio, had succeeded in inducing the ad ministration to keep Ambassador Her rick at his post in Paris until next year. Governor Cox wants to be re-elected governor of the Buckeye state and the only rival whom he fears is Herrick, and he thinks he can cinch re-election if Herrick is kept out of the state dur ing the winter and spring months. T T Army £ai Transport Buford From San Francisco Monday for Salura Cruz LOVE LETTER IS CLUE TO MURDER OF CHINESE Chicago Police Search for Laundryman and Missing . Wife (By Associated Press.) CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—A love letter written to the white wife of Charles Sing, wealthy Chinese merchant killed in his home last Tuesday night, was found In the residence today.

THOMAS HOSIERY COMPANY 69&8West St. Dayton, Ohio TWO BOY BANDITS ROB WASHINGTON CLUBMAN WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Mounted and bicycle policemen searched the woods in the vicinity of the Washing ton Suburban club until daylight to day, in a vain effort to capture two bold boy bandits who held up and robbed Milton Baum, a business rnan and club member. The lads, one armed with a revolver and the other with a dirk, wore' red bandanna handkerchiefs over their faces after the fashion made popular in yel low novels. The presence of mounted policemen within few yards of the 6pot where they effected the holdup did not appear to frighten the young bandits who robbed Baum of his mbney, jewerly and other valuables and quietly disappeared into the woods.
