BY BAXiPH smith.
WASHINGTON, Sept. -18.—Out of
fifteen leading cities of America, pick
ed by the federal bureau of statistics
to ascertain to elevate cost of living,
Atlanta ranks as the sechna most ex
pensive city, Boston holding the i'iist
place. This doubtful compliment which
the federal government pays Atlanta is
based upon the average cost of seven
staple food-stuffs in the several cities,
The following constitute the food
stuffs considered, on which price quo
tations were ascertained by the bureau
of statistics:
Sirloin steak, round steak, pork chops,
bacon, hams, eggs and butter, un one
of these commodities—bacon—Atlanta
far surpasses all other cities. Bacon
in Atlanta sells for 37 cents a pound,
as against 35 cents in Denver, where it
is next most expensive.

The cost of living in Atlanta Increased
slightly within tho past year, according
to investigations (recently made by the
bureau of labor statistics, department of
labor. The bullltin which is in the
hands of the printer presents painstak
ing investigationsiof a crops of experts,
■which have been detailed by the federal
government to make a careful canvass
of the cost of lifting in the United
States.
The investigation in Atlanta covered
one month, price quotations on staple
food stuffs being taken on May 15 and
June 15 of this year, and contrasted in
parallel columns with similar quota
tions taken just on year previous. The
quotations were gathered at representa
tives stores in thefclty and in some in
stances prices on ‘the same food stuff
varied greatly. Fftri Instance, in 1912,
the price per pounl of sirloin steak va
ried from 22 1-2 C .25 cents per pound,
while in May and Mne of this year, the
price had increase,! to 25 and 30 cents
per pound. The mwchant that sold this
article for 22 1-2 rents in 1912 sold it
for 25 cents this ys»r, and the merchant
who received 25 ctats in 1912 received
30 cents this yef?'.
The following ta>le is explanatory of

STATE CHAMBER PLANS
NEW ERA FOR GEORGIA
Next Important Step Is
Name Secretary, Only
Salaried Office
to
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
MACON, Ga., Sept. 18.—Now that the
Georgia chamber of commerce has been
formally launched, officers chosen, the
next place of meeting decided upon and
a sufficient sum of money raised to
begin work, all eyes are turned upon
the executive committee, eager to hear
its choice for secretary, the oniy salaried
office in the organization.
While the president and vice presi
dents were elected by the delegates the
matter of naming a secretary was left
entirely at the discretion of this com
mittee. For the opening convention, M.
B. Powell, of Columbus, was selected to
fill the place for that one session.
Charles J. Haden, of Atlanta, who was
unanimously elected to head the state
chamber, was enthusiastic over the great
success of the convention and sees
ahead a bright future for the organiza
tion and a new era in Georgia. Abso
lute harmony characterized the gather-
lug. T(ie delegates, over 350 in number, l nr |o-p Qnpor Dope Mn+
all representative men, practically all JUU5C ufJCCI UUCo l\Ul
strangers to each other up to the call
ing of the convention to order, were
strangers no longer, but rather were
they a cohesive body of Georgians, with
no selfish interests for their own sec
tions, but there for a common purpose
—to make the state chamber of com-
raerme a lasting organization for the
advancement of every interest.
Probably never before in the history
of Georgia has there ever been gathered
under one roof as representative a gath
ering of men as those who composed
the first convention of the organiza
tion.
And they were men who were willing
to back up their convictions with real
money. When the call for the $2,000
necessary just at this time was made,
there was a veritable stampede in the
conventnon to get on the roll of honor.
Five thousand dollars could have been
raised just as easily and in very little
longer time. Eugene E. Stetson, presi
dent of the Macon chamber, started the
ball rolling with a subscription of $200,
and was followed with a like amount
Subscribed by Wilmer L. Moore, of the
Atlanta chamber. Americus followed
with $100 and from then on, so fast
did the pledges come in that the secre
tary could not keep up with them, and
asked that they come in slower.
Aside from money given by the vari
ous trade organizations represented,
many of the delegates pledged them
selves to personally subscribe and a
large part of. the first subscription was
secured from this source. The pledges
were received amid the wildest enthu
siasm. Each subscription was the
signal for a renewed outburst of ap
plause.
In entertaining the visitors Macon
did herself proud. Nothing was left un-
dne for their comfort. Her welcome
was most cordial and most cordially re
ceived. Between the morning and aft
ernoon sessions a delightful luncheon
was served in the Hotel Dempsey ball
room.
Before adjournment, the convention
voted to meet here again in January
for the purpose of getting down to ac
tive business and plan for the future
activities of the state chamber.

TIFTON, Ga., Sept. 18.—Is thirteen a

for with President Wilson selecting thir

seems to have been knocked out and
now in the year ’13 many farmers are

What thirteen had to do with cotton

the government's report foT cotton ginn

GENERAL OTIS OBJECT
Californian Saved From In-
fernal Machine by Watchful
Jap Servant
(By Associated Press.)
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Sept. 18.—Gen
eral Harrison Gray Otis, owner of the
Los Angeles Times, received an infernal
machine by mail yesterday. It was the
second time within three years that Gen
eral Otis’ life had been attempted by a
bomo.
Any chance of his being killed or in
jured by the bomb was foiled by the
watchfulness of General Otis’ Japanese
servant, who became suspicious of the
package and called his employer’s at
tention to it.
The first infernal machine sent to
General Otis was found at his residence
a few hours after his newspaper plant
had been destroyed through the efforts
of the McNamara conspirators.
MEXICAN ISSUE CAUSE.
The attempt on his life today was at
tributed by the general to agencies
friendly to those whose conspiracy end
ed in the destruction of the Times
building and the killing of twenty-one
men three years ago. The police and
postal authorities, however, believed
that the Mexican question probably had
a part in it.
General Oitis is largely interested in
lands in the Mexican territory of Lower
California where, two years ago, Indus
trial Workers of the World joined the
“direct action” element of Mexicans in
an effort to establish a socialistic com
monwealth.
A few weeks ago there was An out
break, caused, according to reports, by
the employment of Chinese in the place
of Mexican laborers by ranchers in Low
er California. General Otis asserted at
the time that none were employed by
him.
The bomb reached the “Bivouac,” Gen
eral Otis’ home, at 11 o’clock yesterday
morning. It was contained in a small
package five inches long, three inches
wide and two inches deep, wrapped in
brown paper.
With other mail, it was given by the
postman to the Japanese servant. He
removed the wrapping paper before
taking it to General Otis and told the
general that he thought there was
something suspilious about the pack
age.
“I- pooh-poohed the boy’s belief at
first.” said General Otis, “but examined
the box carefully. I could see parts
of matches and black powder. I had
the boy remove the thing and asked
the police department to send a man
to my home.”
Captain F. B. Feltz, a powder expert
in the police department, took the ma
chine to a field near the Los Angeles
river and there pried open the box. He
found the matches fixed to the inside
of the cover' in such 7 a way that if it
were opened they would have. rubbed
against pieces of sandpaper and ig
nited some loose black powder which
would have fired a scrap of fuse set in
detonating steps fixed in two sticks of
85 per cent dynamite. The apparatus
was ingenious and deadly. The dyna
mite, when tested, exploded, tearing a
great hole in the earth.
General Otis had a “surmise only”
concerning the bomb.
“That surmise,” said he, “is that it
was sent to me by the devils, who
wanted to blow up The Times and me.
They may be the same old gang or
agents of the same old gang with the
same old animosity.”
Chief of Police Sebastian inclined to
the theory that the bomb had been
sent by some person violently opposed
to General Otis’ newspaper policy with
regard to the Huerta administration in
Mexico. Mexican residents of Los An
geles celebrated today the one hun
dred and third anniversary of Mexican
independence. Partisanship ran high,
according to Sebastian.
“It is possible,” he said, “that some
of the disgruntled Mexicans sought to
kill the newspaper man whom they be
lieved to be supporting Huerta.”
General Otis, who was a close friend
of former President Porfirio Diaz, of
Mexico, owns much land in the south
ern republic. He is largely interested
in the California and Mexico ranch and
cattle company, which owns great
tracts in lower California and Sonora.
Reports from Yuma, Ariz., today were
to the effect that insurrectors recently
had declared their intention to “clean
up” all the California and Mexico
Ranch and Cattle company holdings.
Inspectors Probe Attempt
On General Otis’ Life
WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.—A rigid in
vestigation of the latest attempt upon
the life of General Harrison Gray Otis
at Los Angeles is being made by post-
office inspectors. No official report had
been received today at the postoffice
department, but one is expected from
the Los Angeles office. Chief Inspector
Johnson is giving the case his per
sonal attention.

DIXIE FLYER SAVED
FROM DEATH TRAP BY
VIGILAJTENGINEER
Ragsdale Closes Throttle in
Time to Prevent Train Hurt
ling Into Switch Broken by
Fiendish Plotters
Engineer T. B. Ragsdale frustrated an
attempt to wreck the Dixie Flyer,
“Pride of the Central of Georgia,” at
Hampton, Ga., Tuesday night at 9:20
o’clock. But for the vigilance and
presence of mind the train, laden with
scores of passengers just retiring to
their berths, would have dashed into a
trap at a fifty-mile-an-hour gait and
been precipitated into the ditch, a mass
of twisted wreckage.
Railroad detectives and special a
are endeavoring Wednesday to fin
man or men who, plotting the destruc
tion of the fast train, broke open the
lock of a switch stand controlling the
approach of a siding, cunningly set the
switch point in a neutral position be
tween the rails of the main line and
those of the side track, and then placed
blocks of steel in the opening so the lo
comotive would be thrown from the
track. Bloodhounds brought to the scene
from the Monroe county convict camp
failed to pick up the trail of the men,
owing to recent rains.
NO MOTIVE KNOWN.
The motive for the attempted wreck ia
known. Robbery is scoffed at by
railroad officials. The crime has the
earmarks of the work of a fiend who
planned the disaster for revenge or
simply to gratify an abnormal de-ire to
wreak destruction.
The Dixie Flyer leaves Atlanta night
ly at 8:30 o’clock over the Central of
Georgia traces. Its ultimate destination
is Jacksonville, Fla. Engineer Rags
dale pulls it from Atlanta to Macon.
He was fifteen minutes late at Hamp
ton Wednesday night and was getting
the value of every pound of steam in an
effort to regain the lost time. The
train was going nearly fifty miles an
hour when he rounded the curve leading
to the Hampton yards. As the powerful
headlight disclosed the track ahead, the
engineer saw the switch stand lamp
missing. He immediately applied the
emergency brakes and brought the train
to a full stop in seventy-five yards. He
was too late to avoid running into the
open switch, but owing to the decreas
ed speed of the train the* locomotive
bounded over the obstruction without
leaving the rails. The missing lamp
was found a few rods away in a corn
field. It was still burning. No one
was in sight.
ENGINEER AROUSED FROM SLEEP.
None of the passengers on the train
were aroused and after the crew made a
ten-minute investigation they proceeded
to Macon. Engineer Ragsdale returned
to Atlanta Wednesday morning bringing
another train. He immediately went to
bed in his room at 101 1-2 Whitehall
street.
Aroused from sleep a few hours later
by a reporter and asked how he came
to notice the missing lamp, he said:
“Well, you know we’re paid to look out
for things like that."
“It was Mr. Westinghouse that pre
vented the wreck anyhow,” he said:
“You’ve got to take off your hat to
him. He made the brakes that keep the
trains from going into the ditch nowa
days.”

Ranked at the Very Top
T"\AVID RANKIN was a big farmer and he knew
his business. He owned the largest corn farm in tha
world, about 35,000 acres down in Missouri. Ha
devoted his life to the pleasant study and practice of right farming, and
he succeeded mightily, for he made $4,000,000 in the business of farm*
ing. This is wnat David Rankin said about the manure spreader:
“It is the most efficient money-maker on the place.”
It’s warm praise to be ranked above all other farm machines, but it
is in keeping with what all the agricultural world has been recognizing.
Soils rebel when crop after crop is taken from them, without return of
fertilizer. Witness tha abandoned worn-out farms of New England.
Return every bit of manure to the soil by the spreader method. The
I H C manure spreader will save you much disagreeable, hard labor,
will spread evenly, and will make ono ton of manure go as far as two
tons spread by hand.
IH C Manure Spreaders
are built to suit you, to do best work for the buyer in every case, to
convince him that he has made the wisest purchase. Every detail in
the construction has a purpose, for which it was made after thorough
tests and experiment. They have the maximum of strength and endur
ance, and theio construction bristles with advantages.
You will find all styles and sizes in the I H C spreader line. They
will cover the ground with a light or heavy coat, as you choose, but
always evenly, up hill or down. There are high and low machines,
with steel frames, endless or reverse aprons, but always giving best
possible service. Tractive power is assured by position of the rear
wheels well under the box, carrying nearly three-fourths of the load,
and by wide-rimmed wheels with Z-shaped lugs.
These and many other things will interest you if you look the I H C
spreader line over at the local dealer’s and will convince you that
an I H C is the spreader for you to buy. .There is one for
your exact needs. Read the catalogues that the dealer has for you.
