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.

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 MAY SET 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.

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 ity of the men now working the coal mines would obey the strike call, while 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 tion. *The other demands of the miners 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 er from operators*or from miners. Reports from vaious mining camps in the distict indicate the walkout will be general. FATHER OF SLUTER OF GIRL GOMING TO U. S. Will Cross Water From Ger many to Aid in Defense 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. '' % FOR PROBE OF ELECTION State’s Attorney Expects to Make Many Arrests in Big •Investigation CHICAGO, Sept. 25.—One thousand blank Indictments have been prepared by Special State's Attorney John E. Northrup for the special grand jury In vestigating November elections frauds. They were written by experts to con form with the evidence gathered by the special prosecutor.

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.” A WOMAN’S PROBLEM ' I" the looking-glass a woman often sees wrinkles, hollow circles under eyes, “crow’s feet,”—all because she did not turn to the right remedy when worn down with those troubles which are distinctly feminine.

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 morrow. President Elliott was given no inkling of the character of the report prepared by Commissioner McChord, after an ex haustive personal investigation.

Supreme Tailoring Co., Dept. 12 Chioago 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.

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 torney by President Roosevelt, follow ing his (Tate’s) retirement as con gressman from the Ninth district. He was reappointed by President Taft, for a term cf four eyars, which still has some time to run. MRS. RIVERS DISCLOSES SECRET Matter Didn’t Prove Experi ment After All, and She Now Makes It Public FARMER AND STEP-SON _ FOUND SLAIN BY ROAD (By Associated Press.) MATTEAWAN, N. Y., Sppt. 25.—The bodies of Angelo Canteloupe, a farmer, and Victor Lansuesula, his young step son, were found in a roadside ditch near the farm early today, terribly mu tilated. They had been murdered while returning to the farm after disposing of some produce here. Robbery appar ently was the motive. Mineral Springs, Ark.—In a letter from this place, Mrs. J. M. Rivers says: “If It had not been for Cardui. the woman’s tonic, no doubt, I would have been in my 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 en. It is composed of purely vegetable Ingredients, which have been found to build up the vitality, tone up the nerves, and strengthen the womanly constitu tion. That it has helped others is the best of proof i that it will help you. Try Cardui. N.
