THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1913.
Trade and Crop Re
ports from the South
—From Bradstreet’s.
Huntington.—Wholesale trade con
tinues good and collections show some
Improvement. Cooler weather stimulates
retail trade. Hardware and building
material are in good demand. The corn
crop is being harvested, and prospects
point to a very fair yield. The tobacco
crop is very favorable. Trade conditions
in general seem to tend upward.
Charleston, S. C.—Wholesale trade is
about up to the average. Retail
trade shows spme improvement. Collec
tions are fair. Cotton is being picked
fn abundancey, and if the present price
continues, a good fall business is looked
for. .
. Greenville.—The market on print yarn
goods is strong, active and advancing.
Goods of this character have advanced
during the past thirty days proportion
ately with raw cotton, and there are no
spot goods to be had. The prices of
fancy goods have not advanced relatively
to plain goods, but demand is strong
and buyers are operating well ahead.
On fine yarns the situation is discourag
ing. except on the ruling novelties, such
as crepes and ratines. Wholesale gro
cers and dealers in provisions and grain
report business active, with collections
improving. Cooler. weather has stimu
lated retail trade, especially in men’s
and women’s winterwear goods. Some
cotton is being marketed at good price.
Chattanooga.—Manufacturers and
wholesale dealers report that trade con
ditions are about normal, and they ap
pear to be optimistic as to the future.
Retail trade continues active, but col
lections remain slow. Heavy* rains in
this section have improved the^crop out
look.
Memphis.—Trade is good. The tri-
state fair next week Is expected to at
tract many buyers. Collections are only
fair. Farmers are busy picking cotton,
and the yield is much better than last
year.
Atlanta—Trade at wholesale contin
ues to improve. Retail business in fall
apparel is good. The movement of cot
ton in this immediate section is not ful
ly under way, though the price is good,
and jobbers and manufacturers are op
timistic. Collections are improving.
Savannah—Trade in all limes shows
some improvement. Collections are fair.
Crops are being rapidly marketed and
prices are good. Lumber continues
quiet. Building is active.
Birmingham—Dealers in lumber and
builders’ materials report a very good
business. Trade, wholesale and retail,
shows some improvement. Crops are
being harvested and some cotton has
been marketed. Collections are fair.
Mobile—Trade prospects continue
good. Cotton picking has been retarded
by heavy rains. Collection^ are fair. %
Montgomery—Continued rain over the
state has wrought heavy damage to cot
ton, retarding picking and causing the
Cotton to shed. Trade continues quiet.
Collections are fair.
Jackson—Trade is good. The cotton
crop has been injured to some extent
by recent rains. Collections are fair.
Jackson—Trade is good. The cotton
crop has been injured to some extent by
recent rains. Collections are slow.
New Orleans—Showers have fallen
ddily over the state, and there has
been very little rice harvested or cotton
picked. The latter product in some in
stances has been injured considerably
by rains. While the cotton acreage con
siderably exceeds that of 1912, it is not
believed the yield per acre will be so
great. Farmers, however, are getting
a fairly good price, and a large amount
ha* been moved. Rains in the rice sec
tions are not thought to have done any
great damage so far, except to delay
harvesting and threshing. The cane
crop has been greatly benefited by the
weather, and from present prospects a
•arge/tonnage is anticipated. Louisiana
rarmers in general are considered to be
in better condition than in the past year,
and retail merchants look for a better
fall and winter trade. Jobbers report a
good deal of activity in their lines, with
a slight improvement in collections.
Muskogee—The cotton crop indicates
slight betterment since recent rains.
However, a 40 per cent crop still is
mentioned. Pasturage shows decided
improvement the past ten days, which
is very beneficial for *the cattle sec
tions. Early plowing is expected, anvi
a large acreage of rye will be planted.
Business Is more active in retail lines.
Buyers anticipate additional purchases
for fall. Collections are slow.
Oklahoma—TraTle In dry goods and
clothing shows improvement since the
advent of cooler weather. The soil is
in good condition for fall plowing, fol
lowing copious rains, and a better feel
ing and some awakened activities pre
vail throughout the agricultural dis
tricts. In the oil producing fields and
at those points where oil development
is in progress, activity is evident in
Sales of builders’ supplies and material.
Dallas—It is too early to determine
whether rain has improved or injured
cotton.
Fort Worth—Opinions are divided as
to the effect of recent rains. If there
is a late frost*, and it all opens, the
crop will benefit considerably. Late for
age crops have been helped very much.
Preparations are being made for sow
ing a large acreage in wheat.
Houston — Continued unseasonable
rains ar© threatening the rice crop, but
if dry weather follows, rice planters
believe the ,rain damage to the matured
crop will be offset by the increased
yield of the uncut crop. Cotton has
been materially damaged by drought and
rains, but late frosts will permit of a
good top crop. Collections are fair to
good. Trade, wholesale and retail, Is
satisfactory.
San Antonio—Wholesale trade, as well
as, collections, is fairly good. Recent
heavy rains caused decreased sales, but
did not affect collection^. Cotton is
coming in freely. The general tenden
cy is toward optimism.
THE CROP*).
Rains in the recently drought-af
fected sections have greatly improved
pastures, which have come back into ex
cellent shape, reduced sacrifice market
ing of cattle, and allowed of plowing
and planting for winter wheat, but are
claimed to have not benefited corn,
which matured prematurely in many
eases. Fears of frost damage Is less
than usual, owing to quick maturing,
and the only section reporting need of
a late season for corn is the spring

Collector of Internal Revenues
Files Charges Against Jack-
son McHenry
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Internal
Revenue Collector A. O. Blalock has
filed charges with the treasury depart
ment against Jackson McHenry, Geor
gia Republican leader, and two other
negro guards at the federal building in
Atlanta. It is confidently believed that
the charges, which ar e accompanied by
a request for removal, will result in
the relegation to private life of McHen
ry and his mates.
Collector Blalock charges McHenry
and the other guards with incompeten
cy, and alleges also that the two ne
groes were appointed as the result of
discrimination agains white mean, who
were on the eligible list of the civil
service and better fitted to hold the
jobs.
McHenry’s salary is $720, he being
chief guard. The pay of the other
guards is a trifle less. McHenry has
been on th e government pay roll since
1900, in this particular capacity, and
is one of the best known men about the
federal building. Few negroes in the
state are better known.
In the event of the removal of the
negroes, Collector Blalock will select
their successors from the eligible list
of the civil service.
Jackson McHenry has attended offl-
cialy all the negro convention that have
been held in Georgia since the war, and
in nearly every convention has made
the same speech. It usually consisted
of advising the colored people to cut
out whisky and save their money.
Albanians Try to Cross Fron
tier Into Territory Now
Owned by Servia
VIENNA, Sept. 25.—In a fierce battle
today between Servian troops and Al
banians on the new Albanian frontier
200 Albanians were killed ancL a large
number wounded. A dispatch to a lo
cal newspaper says the fighting occurred
between Dibra and Jakova, where many
of the battles between the Servians and
Turks were fought in the Balkan war.
The encounter was brought about by
an attempt of several thousand Al
banians to penetrate the territory cap
tured by the Servians from the Turks.
They were repulsed.
The Servian troops lost one captain
and a considerable number of men.
20,000 Albanians Capture
Servian Fortifications
BELGRADE, Servia, Sept 25.—The
Servian fortifications of the town of
Dibra, Albania, were captured today by
a force of 20,000 well armed Albanians,
according to a report received here.
Servian reinforcements were hastily dis
patched to the assistance of the gar
rison.
The Albanians are said to be led by
Austrian and Bulgarian officers.
ROSTER AT WEST POINT
IS NOW OVERCROWDED
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—At present
there are 613 cadets under instruction
at West Point, although the law intend
ed there should be only 580. This is
because, instead of waiting until his
appointee has served a full four-year
term, each senator and representative
is now allowed to nominate another ap-
P intee at the end of the other’s third
year of schooling, so that for a limited
period the congressman has two cadets
under instruction at the same time.
Beginning last July all those entitled
to fill vacancies that will occur next
year were invited to send In nomina
tions for the examinations to be held
next March, for admission to the acad
emy in June. Among the senators who
have failed so far to respond are Bank-
head, Alabama, and Smith, Georgia.
wheat northwest. Killing frosts did
damage to late fruits, vegetables and
corn in th$ Mohawk and Hudson val
leys, but this is the only section af
fected so far.
Spring wheat threshing is pretty well
advanced, and earlier reports of good
yields are confirmed. The . prevailing
estimate is now for 250,000,000 bushels
of spring wheat, and this, with 525,-
000,000 bushels of winter wheat, now
indicates a total yield of 775,000,000
bushels, or about the crop indicated in
this column early in August.
Winter wheat plowing has been aided
by rains, and while the area seeded may
not equal that of last fall, a good acre
age is indicated. The late date of seed
ing may affect the growth i of grass
crops before winter sets in.
Reports from the tobacco crop are ir
regular. Drought hurt the early planted
Kentucky crop, but the late planted has
been helped by the rains, although an
early frost date may change this some
what. South Carolina this year raised
a record crop of tobacco. The Lancaster,
Pa., tobacco yield is still estimated at
only half a crop.
Cotton has this week received a full
to excessive supply of moisture, but no
real concern is manifested outside of
parts of Texas, the lower Mississippi
valley and Alabama. The southeast re
port good conditions and a large yield
certain. Picking has been interrupted to
a greater or lesser extent, and shedding,
rust and boll weevil are noted In some
sections where rainfall was excessive.
It is conceded, however, that a late
frost date will make possible a large
top crop, owing to the plentiful supplies
of moisture.
CLARK TAKES FLOOR IN
DEFENSE OF DEMOCRATS
Speaker Quits Gavel to Resent
Republican Attack on
Caucus
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Speaker
Clark quit his gavel today to take the
floor to defend the Democratic caucus
against the Republican attack.
“This continual howl a,oout the cau
cus is the most idiotic thing that has
ascended to heaven in the last genera
tion,” shouted the speaker. “The coun
try wants to know what congress does,
it does not care three whoops how it
did it. We have revised the tariff and
put through a bill changing the bank
ing and currency system. If these
measures are not good, we will be the
ones to suffer; if they are, we will gain,
but we did not propose to let you Re
publicans bring up other subjects on the
floor while they were under considera
tion and distract the attention of mem
bers and of the country from the great
issues involved.”
Speaker Clark said he would not an
swer Republican attacks by calling at
tention to the way former Speakers
Reed and Cannon put through important
legislation.
“That would be a case of the pot
calling the kettle black,” said he. “A
lot of you fellows have been talking
too much for your own good, anyhow,”
concluded the speaker to the accompani
ment of prolonged outburst of applause
from the Democrats.

GO OUT ON BIG STRIKE
Thousands Have Quit Work to
Get Unio« Officially
Recognized
(By Associated Press.)
TRTNIDAD, Colo., Sept. 25.—Several
thousand miners in the southern coal
fields, of district 15, Colorado, United
Mine Workers of America, today en
tered upoji a strike which has for its
chief purpose the recognition of the
union.
Labor leaders declared a great major

operators are as unanimous in declar
ing not enough workers will leave their
employment to seriously cripple mine
operations.
The operators take a positive stand
that there will be no compromise with
miners on the demand of union recogni

for their check weighmen, privileges
to live and trade where they please and
employ such physicians as they please,
are not receiving much discussion, eith

FATHER OF SLUTER OF

Hans Schmidt
(By Asrociated Press.)
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—The aged fa
ther of 'Johann (Hans) Schmidt, self-
confessed murderer of Anna Aumuller,
has decided to come to New York from
his hom e in Auehafferburg, Germany,
according to a dispatch received here
from the German town last night. The
parents of Hans Schmidt still hope to
find that the accused priest is not their
son.
Two alienists employed by District
Attorney Whitmen will examine
Schmidt, probably tomorrow^ It is un
derstood that one of the tests of the
priest’s mental condition will be in
taking him to the morgue and asking
him to identify the recovered portions
of the woman's body. Practically the
entire case against Schmidt now rests
on the question of his mental responsi
bility. '' %

GOVERNOR STILL WORKS
ON M’NAUGHTON CASE
Says He Has Received No In
surance Certificate Bearing
on Flanders' Death
Governor Slaton is proceeding steadily
toward a decision in the case of Dr. W.
J. McNaughton, condemned to die on
October 3 as the murderer of Fred
Flanders in Emanuel county. He stated
Tuesday morning that since the recent
hearing upon the prison commission s
recommendation on Dr. McNaughton’s
petition, a number of additional affi
davits have been filed with him by coun
sel for the accused man; but they are
cumulative, said the governor.
The executive stated that he has been
told that Dr. McNaughton’s lawyers are
seeking an insurance certificate said to
have been signed^ by Dr. Green Bell, now
deceased, that Mr. Flanders died of
uraemic poisoning.
“But one man declares that he saw
the statement and that it certified that
Mr. Flanders died of gastritis,” said
the governor. He said that he had not
been asked to defer his decision until
the original certificate can be produced
by the lawyers.
“I am working steadily on the matter,”
said he. “Last night I studied the evi
dence until 12 o’clock. You see, I must
take some action Soon. I am not going
to grant any further respite.”

(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—Howard El
liott, president of the New York New
Haven and Hartford railroad, conferred
here today with the interstate commerce
commission on the Wallingford collision,
line. He was particularly concerned
about the forthcoming report of the
commission on the Waligford collision,
which is to be made public late to

President Elliott was given no inkling
of the character of the report prepared
by Commissioner McChord, after an ex
haustive personal investigation.
Beyond the statement that any fore
cast of the report thus far published
is premature and inaccurate, Commis

Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated give “California
Syrup of Figs”
Children love this “fruit laxative,”
and nothing c else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is,
they become tightly clogged with waste,
iiver gets sluggfsh, stomach sours, then
your little pne becomes cross, half-sick,
feverish, don’t eat, sleep or act natural
ly, breath is bad, system full of cold,
has sore throat, stomach-ache or diar
rhoea. Listen, Mother! See if tongue
is coated, then give a teaspoonful of
“California Syrup of Figs,” and in a few
hours all the constipated waste, sour
bile and undigested food passes out of
the system, and you have a well, play
ful child aagin.
Millions of mothers give “California
Syrup of Figs” because it is perfectly
harmless; children love it, and it never
fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle
of “California Syrup of Figs,” which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Beware of coun
terfeits sold here. Get the genuine,

ORIENT TRADE DEGREASE
FI
Commerce Department Will
Try to Find What’s
Wrong
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25—The depart
ment of commerce has decided to under
take an investigation of the underlying
reasons for the loss by United States
manufacturers of cotton goods trade in
the Orient, especially China. W. A.
Graham Clark, a commercial agent of
the department, has been dispatched to
China and Japan to study industrial and
commercial changes, which it is believed
account for the conditfon. •
Some idea of the extent to which
American trade with the Orient in cot
ton goods has fallen off in recent years
will be appreciated when it is under
stood that, whereas, $30,000,000 worth
of American manufactured cotton cloth
was sold in Asia in 1906, only $5,796,327
of similar cloth was sold in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1913.
MANUFACTURERS ALARMED.
American cotton manufacturers and
exporters have felt this tremendous loss
in trade, and are alarmed accordingly.
Southern cotton mills have in past years
manufactured millions of dollars’ worth
of cloths for use in the Orient, and
the loss in trade falls heavily upon
many of these mills.
Preliminary investigations by the de
partment of commerce show that China
is continuing to purchase large quan
tities of cotton goods; indeed, the con
sumption of these goods is on the in
crease, so that the loss by the Amer
ican manufacturers and exporters is due
to the lack of demand.
China last year imported upwards of
$100,000,000 worth of cotton goods, one-
third of which was manufacturd in
England, which Is apparently holding its
own in this trade.
JAPAN A COMPETITOR.
It seems probable that the growth
and development of the cotton mill in
dustry in Japan may account for the
declining sales of the American mills.
The Japanese mills have multiplied with
great rapidity, and Japan cotton goods
is already a recognized factor in the
competition for this trade in the Far
East. The mills *of the mikado’s coun
try manufactured last year over $50,-
000,000 worth of cotton goods.
While there has been an alarming
loss in the sales of American manu
factured cotton goods in the Oriejit, it
is gratifying to note that one^third of
the raw cotton spun in the Japanese
mills was imported from the southern
states, as against only 720 bales of-cot-'
ton that were imported in 1894.

TATE RESIGNS

Resignation Requested by Mc-

Probable Successor
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25.—At
the request of Attorney General Mc-
Reynolds, Farrish Carter Tate, United
State*? attorney for the northern dis
trict of Georgia, has resigned his of
fice, and will retire immediately. It
is the understanding here that Senator
Hoke Smith has Hooper Alexander, of
DeKalb county, in mind to succeed the
district attorney.
Ti.te’s resignation was received yes-
terdaj' and when he retires all of the
assistants of the office* under him also
retire.
It was impossible at the department
of ;iust:ce to ascertain what actuated
the attorney general to request Tate’s
resignation, but It is believed that he
acted or. his own initiative and not as
the -esult of any attempt on the part
of the senators or congressmen to
force him out. It is not known and
cannot be learned whether any charges
tv ere preferred agaihst Tate.
Tate was first appointed district at

gressman from the Ninth district. He
was reappointed by President Taft, for
a term cf four eyars, which still has
some time to run.

MATTEAWAN, N. Y., Sppt. 25.—The
bodies of Angelo Canteloupe, a farmer,
and Victor Lansuesula, his young step

near the farm early today, terribly mu

It had not been for Cardui. the woman’s

grave.
I was sick all of the time for 10 4
years, and took medicines constantly.
I suffered terribly. At last, I decided
I would just try Cardui on my own
hook, and kept it a secret. It was cer
tainly a God-send to me. Since talking
it, I have no pain whatever, feeling 1
good, and can wrestle with my 16 year
old son. In fact, 1 don’t feel over 16
myself. Am as happy as a lark. When
I begun taking Cardui I only weighed
101 lbs. Now I weigh 117 1-2 lbs., and
am going to continue taking Cardui until
I weigh 135.
I just can’t say enough for Cardui,
and I believe if all women forho suffer
from womanly troubles would take it,
there would be more happy homes.”
Using Cardui is no experiment. If
has stood the most severe of all tests—
the test of time. Cardui has been in
use for over half a century, and in timb
has benefited more than a million wom

Ingredients, which have been found to
build up the vitality, tone up the nerves,

tion.
That it has helped others is the best
of proof i that it will help you. Try
