I SEEK REVENGE BY FIRING MEN’S DERELICTION CHARLESTON, S. C.—Wholesale dealers in all lines are very much en couraged by cotton prices and crop con ditions; orders for fall goods are in excess of last year. The co ton crop is reported a little short, owing to the continued dry spell, but with prevailing prices the shortage will be more than made up. Heavy sales of tobacco are reported, and it is estimated that 30,000 acres were planted, an increase of 25 per cent over last year. Carolina rice is being harvested, the crop being about the same as last year, though about 75 per cent c..orter than the previous year, which reduction is attributed to the "heavy losses during the storm of 1911. Collections are showing some improve ment. and within the next thirty days, when cotton begins to move, money should be somewhat easier. GREENVILLE.—Textile manufactur ers report business improving, pur chases being more liberal than for some time, and. in spite of tariff uncertain ties, a good season is looked for. Mill- supply hardware jobbers report busi ness good. Wholesale grocers report some activity in that trade, with col lections still slow. An abundant cotton crop and easier money are pretty well assured, and the corn crop is good. CHATTANOOGA.—Manufacturers and wholesale dealers express the opinion that trade as a whole has improved in th last thirty days ,and all appear opti mistic regarding the future. The banks say money is plentiful for legitimate business purposes, though they are s'ill loath to loan for speculation. Retail trade has been actively stimulated by the opening of the fall season, and mer chants in general have a full line of late patterns. The weather is warm and dry for this season. MEMPHIS.—The outlook for a big fall business is good. The cotton crop is the best in years, and wholesale trade in all lines is active. Retail trade is quiet on account of warm weather. Collections are a trifle backward. ATLANTA.—Wholesale trade is about up to the average, but collections are slow. The approaching school term caus ed increased sales at retail of children’s apparel. Still, all lines of retail trade have been reasonably good. A three weeks’ drought has caused the cotton plant to shed much of the top crop, but the condition of the crop generally is fa vorable. SAVANNAH.—Trade in all lines is quiet, but a good fall business is an ticipated, as the cotton crop is good and higher prices than usual are antic ipated. BIRMINGHAM.—There has been some quieting down in iron and steel. Mills have been busy, but new orders have not been coming in rapidly enough to offset shipments. Demand for lumber and building materials is somewhat bet ter. Wholesale and retail dealers In all lines report a good business. Collections are slow. MOBILE.—Jobbers in all lines report trade fairly active. Retail trade Is quiet. Collections remain slow. Crop con ditions are fairly good MONTGOMERY.—The condition of cotton continues to decline on account of drought. Reports from many counties indicate a crop outlook 30 to 50 per cent below normal. Business continues quiet and collections poor. JACKSON.—Wholesale trade is good. Retail fail trade is opening up. Some deterioration is reported in cotton, but prospects are much brighter than for the same date yast year. NEW ORLEANS.—Louisiana planters are making rapid advances towards gathering their cotton and rice crops. Hot. dry weather has hastened the ma turing of the cotton plant, and a con siderable quantity is being ginned. Some sections report deterioration on account of boll weevil, but taking the crop in its entirety, conditions seem satis factory. The rice crop is being freely marketed. A large yield has been reap ed. and while prices are not up to 1912, they are a little better than anticipa ted. The weather has been good in the sugar district, and its growth has been materially strengthened. With continued favorable weather, planters anticipate a good yield. Favorable reports con tinue to come in regarding Louisiana’s corn crop. which is classified as a bumper yield for the state. General trade conditions in this section are fair ly favorable, and jobbers report mer chants buying rather freely. Collec tions, however, are not very good, but will probably improve as the crops be gin to move. MUSKOGEE.—Drought and hot winds continue detrimental to all crops and forage. The cotton crop deteriorated greatly the past two weeks, and 35 to Report of Com -ussion Says That Fixed Signals Cannot Prevent Wrecks NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA, . GAS OR INDIGESTION (By Assoc <•: cd Press.» WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.—Failure of three men on a locomotive to observe and heed a signal that stood against t!‘,e advance uf their train was the cause, according to a report issued to- d y by the interstate commerce com mission, of a rear-end collision between passenger trains on the Pennsylvania railroad on July 30 at Tyrone, Pa. The accident resulted in the death of one employe and the injury of 126 passeu- gc.j, twenty employes, five postal clerks and two Pullman employes. The trains were being operated under the automatic block system. A test of t**e signals after the accident sho d that they weiv -n good working con dition. The report says that it is impossible to account for the failure of all three men on the engine properly to observe the indication of the sig nal *‘and there can be no excuse for such failure.” *'A consideration of accidents of this character taat have occurred within Outhouse and Barn of Henry Ham, of Center Hill, Fired Mysteriously Two fires, believed to have been of incendiary origin, were discovered early Monday evening in two different out houses at the home of Henry Ham. on Ma.vson and Turner's road. Center Hill Mr. Ham. a real estate dealer, with his grown son. Leonard, were at church at the time. Tbe first fire was discovered at 7:30 o’clock in the corner of an empty stable of Mr. Ham’s big barn The barn was filled with feedstuffs, and in addition it housed several head of livestock and two or three vehicles. Hoyt Garrett, a neighbor. noticed smoke issuing from the stable door and hurrying to the tyirn he Dut out the flames before any serious damage was done: An hour later Mrs. Ham and her daughter. Miss Ethel, heard the sound of some one running across the hack yard. An investigation revealed a fire In a nearby storehouse. Mrs. Ham and her daughter put out the fire before it had done more than burn some sacks of corn. County Officers Allen and Williams were summoned and made a careful In the past two years, the report lead in- , . , . „ evitably to the conclusion that even jest gation.

Rog ers, Jr., a prominent farmer of Hous ton county, reported this afternoon the finding of the body of an infant in Big creek, near Big Creek church, about ten miles south' of Dothan. The infant had a wire around its neck to which was fastened a plow. indications were that the body had been in the water only a short while. So far there ar no clues to identify the child. An investigation will be conducted. GARAGE EXPLOSION STARTS SWEEPING FIRE NEWEURYPORT, Mass., Sept. 11. An expulsion ot gasoline In a garage on Merrimac street today started a fire which spread rapidly to a number of ou: iss blocks and nearly a dozen resi dences. Help was summoned from four near cities. Edwin B. Ingalls, pro prietor of the garage, was fatally burn ed and two employes seriously injured. 40 per cent is deemed a conservative es timate in this vicinity. Corn will not exceed one-fourth a crop. Kaffir corn in this section is practically a total loss. Despondency is expressed in the cattle sections, owing to lack of rain and poor pasturage. Collections are slow. Busi ness in general is quiet. OKLAHOMA—Drought and high tem peratures continue, with consequent se vere damage to corn, cotton and other fall crops. The state board of agricul ture now estimates a 34 per cent corn crop and 35 per cent cotton crop. Pea nuts, broom corn and alfalfa are also suffering from need of rain, and all crops will be far short of normal. Trade In all lines is quiet, with collections slow. Dallas—Many new merchants have been buying in this market, and these additions to the regular buyers have produced the largest volume of business ?ver enjoyed by local jobbers. Retail business, In volume, shows only a small Citizens of Center Hill are inclined to the belief that the fires were started by someone who was seeking revenge against Mr. Ham. Last year Mr. Ham served on the grand Jury. His friends believed some one. aggrieved by the grand jury's action, was seking to get revenge Monday night.

Fire That Swept Salisbury Beach Leaves 200 Homeless and Exposed to Cold CRv AarnHated Preas.) SALISBURY BEACH, Mass., Sept. 11. A heavy northeast windwhipping in from Massachusetts bay at sunrise today found 200 homeless vacationists shiv ering under scanty covering on Salis bury Beach. Clad in thin clothing, men, women and children had stod guard all night over the few belongings they were able to rescue from the sweep of the fire that devasted the summer re sort. j Heaps of, smoking ruins were all that remained today of nearly 300 cottages and seven hotels that were in the path of the flames. Rumors of coming ar rests and a sta A e police investigation were current. Early today a squad of police arrived from Haver Hill. Offi cials were apparently satisfied that a second fire which broke out shortly aft er midnight at the southern end of the beach was of incendiary origin. Conservative estimates this morning place the loss from the fire at $250,000. rei ipiii Hustled Across Border Into Vermont, Fugitive Motors Into New Hampshire, Only to Run Into Sheriffs Arms GOVERNMENT ININKS AT Union to Investigate Charge That U, S, Allows Eight-Hour Law to Be Violated COLUMBUS, Ga., Sept. 11.—Burglars are still abroad in the land and Co lumbus police officers are apparently completely baffled. Several bold rob beries have been made In the heart of the city .during the past few days in cluding the breaking into and ransack ing of every department of the Mus cogee court house, where the various city offices are located. Only recently the burglars procured some $200 In this building. The latest burglary was that of the Masonic temple, a three-story brick building located in the heart of Co lumbus. A number of private offices are located in this building, and these were ransacked throughout. some $50 In money and many valuable papers being taken. The police and county officers are working hard in efforts to run down the gang, but as yet they have no clue to the guilty parties. Ben Lee. a Columbus negro, doubt less holds the distinction of being the first negro in the country who suc cessfully robbed a fellow prisoner of $8 while in a cell at police barracks with which to pay a fine, thereby gain ing his freedom. This is the story 'old by the local officers, wljio state that it was the smoothest trick ever "put over" a prisoner in the local barracks. T.he negro had only been at large a short time before the other prisoner missed his "cash” and squealed. The ease attracted unusual interest in local police circles.

Pastors to Agree Not to Re-Marry Divorced Parties CARLISLE, Pa, Sept 11—Clergymen of tills city have started a movement to line up the clergy of the entire state in opposition to the remarriage of divorced persons. The plan pro vides that ministers shall sign an agree- 1 ment not to perform a marriage cere mony in a case where either one ol' the contracting parties has been di vorced. A committee was appoitned to pre pare a petition to the local clerk of the court, requesting him to indicate on the marriage license furnished to ministers whether or not either of the parties • contemplating matrimony had been divorced. This is not required by state law now, but can be done. It is claimed, at the option of the marriage license clerk. The ministers, however, probably will provide an exception in the case of per sons who can furnish to them under oath evidence, including a transcript of the order of court, showing them to be the innocent party.
