Diamond Investments.
Diamonds have enhanced in value, as nearly eyery out knows, more than
double in the 'ast eight or ten yeais. The opinion of those who are in a posi
tion to know, is that under natural conditions the maximum price is far from
being attained. Added to the natural conditions, such as tbejmines getting
deeper, etc. It is reported that the Deßeers people have obtained control of
Premier Mines, which were the only ones offering even slight competition,; It
is therefore very evident that in the near future you will see prices much in
flated over those at present, Tennison says in his “In Memoran," “Delay
ing long, delay no more.” Take the hint and write us about lour patial
payment plan. Our line is unsurpassed in variety and beauty and the cost to
you is the cost to us plus a very moderate profit.

ATLANTA TO GIVE WELCOME
To Visitors Coming to Attend the International Cotton
Conference.
ATLANTA, Sept. 23. (Special)—
The city council has appropriated?!,-
000 to the fund that is being raised
for the visiting delegates to the in
ternational cotton conference which
is to be held in Atlanta October 7-9
inclusive, besides which considerable
has been raised by private subscrip
tion, and every possible preparation
is now under way for the care and
entertainment of the 000 or more del
egates who are expected on that oc
casion.
Council has at the same time ap
pointed a committee to act in con
junction with a similar committee
from the Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce, and it is proposed to outdo on
this occasion anything Atlanta has
ever done in the entertaining line.
There will be represented in this
convention hundreds of millions of
dollars of capital, and almost every
Country in the world where cotton
growing or the cotton manufacturing
industry is known. Great cotton man
ufacturers of the United States, of
England, Germany, Italy, Spain,Rus-.
sia. France, Austria and Belgium, will
be in attendance, in addition to which
several hundred prominent cotton
growers from all parts of the South
are expected.

From American Polit
ical Life.
HOT SPRINGS, ARK., Sept. 23.
(Special)—Whether or not an editor
and a preacher will have to go once
more behind the bars of the county
jail as one of the unpleasant results
of waging a reform movement will be
decided during the term of court
which opens here to-morrow by
Judge W. H. Evans.
lie has ben called upon to decide
whether or not County Judge Orlando
S. Sumpter, one of the prominent
members of the so-caled ‘ Hot Springs
gang,” has the power to again incar
cerate R. O. Scheafer, managing edi
tor of the Citizens' Daily Bulletin, -aid
the Rev. W. T. Amis, pastor of the
First Baptist church for contempt of
court aleging to have ben shown in
articles and editorials in the Daily
Bulletin, admittedly reflecting upon
the court and upon the judge person
ally.
Ran the Sports Out.
Schafer and Amis have been the
most conspicious figures in a fight
for reform which has within a year's
time metamorphosed the famous Ark
ansas spa from a rendezvous of gamb
lers, swindlers, and municipal graf
ters, into a city free from gambling
‘hells,” pool rooms, wine rooms, con
fidence men and swindlers who form
erly thrived by preying upon the un
fortunate invalids and others who
came here by the thousands to heal
themselves in the celebrated waters
controlled by the United States Gov
ernment.
From the “widest-open” town in
America, where folly and iniquity held
high revel, Hot Srings has been trans
formed into a comparatively respecta
ble city.
In a year's time twenty of the most
famous gambling places in the Uni
ted States have been forced to close
their doors, eight timing pool rooms
where hundreds gambled daily, on
ponies galloping in all parts of the
United States, have been driven out,
two race tracks put out of commission
and numerous other reforms effected.
Os the two tracks, Essex park was
forced into bankruptcy, while Oak
lown, Dan Stuart's famous half-mil
lion dollar plant, has ben turned to
more legitimate uses as the headquar
ters of the Arkansas State Fair Asso
ciation.
R. O, Schaefer, the youthful editor
of the Daily Bulletin, who is largely
responsible for the accomplishment of
these reforms, is ljut 22 years of
age, and appears even younger.
That he has the courage of his con
victions is shown by the fact that
once before he went to jail, editing
his paper from behind the bars, rath-
Spinners’ Association will be repre
sented by 115 spinners. This foreign
party will meet the New England
spinners in Washington, D. C., and
come with them to Atlanta. They will
reach here Saturday night Oct. 5. The
visitors will rest on Sunday, and take
a look over the city and on Monday
their session will begin in the Hall of
the House of Representatives.
There will be at least three busi
ness sessions of the conference and
perhaps four. The cotton situation
in all of its details will be discussed,
and some interesting resolutions are
looked for. The address of welcome
will be delivered by Gov. Hoke Smith.
Among the features of entertainment
will be a barbecue at the Cold Springs
’cue grounds, a public reception, re
ceptions at several private homes, a
trolley ride over the city, and prob
ably one of the last banquets of any
proportions which Atlanta will wit
ness before prohibition goes into ef
fect.
The European delegates while here
will be taken through the cotton mills
in and near Atlanta and see them in
operation. Following the adjournment
of the convention they have arranged
to take a trip through the cotton
states and other portions of the coun
try. Seventeen states will be visited.
er than pay a fine imposed for con
tempt of court. Little more than a
year ago the “Hot Springs” gang was
laughing uproaringly at what was
considered the harmless enthusiasm
of a callow youth. Today the laugh
ter has subsided to a sickly grin,
and is likely to vanish entirely.
Been Commercial Success.
“It is particularly gratifying to us,"
said Schaefer in an interview "that
the reform movement has been what
might be termed a commercial suc
cess. Many prominent citizens and
some of ?!ie reform exponents, at
that, actually believed that common
decency and honesty would kill the
resort. They believed that when the
gamblers and the ■wealthy members
of the sporting element who formerly
filled this city during the winter sea
son were given the cold shoulder,
that the city, depending as it does on
tourist patronage, would suffer ir
reparable damage.
Others of more far-seeing judge
ment believed that thousands of res
pectable patrons were being kept from
Hot Springs on acount of its notorious
character as a gambling resort, and
have had their theory sustained to a
most gratifying degree. As soon as
the word went out that Hot Springs
had been ‘civilized’ a marked increase
in the number of health seekers and
the better cass of tourists resulted,
which has made the rpesent summer
season twenty per cent, ahead of what
it ever was before.”
Reform Proved Good Thing.
The Rev. W. T. Amis, Editor Schae
fer’s co-worker in the battle for re
form, is now being boomed for gov
ernor of Arkansas on the strength
of the reputation he has pained by
fighting the "Hot Springs gang.”
“We will continue our fight till the
last grafter is out of office or in the
penitentiary and until the men who
have stuffed ballot boxes with bur
lap and excelsior and stolen the citi
zens’ ballots and punished,” is the
warlike declaration of the militant
clergyman. Amis is also a young
man, the Hot Springs church being
his first pastorate.
It is now generally admitted among
the business men of Hot Springs that
reform has ben a good thing for that
town. Many men who at first looked
upon the reform crusade as a disturb
ing element that was likely to “hurt
business,” and “make capital timid”
are now lined up in the reform ranks.
Few would care now to return to the
old regime, when Hot Springs, naked
and unashamed, flaunted its sins be
fore the world. The Goddess of Chance
has been thrown from the pedestal
she so long occupied as the ruling
deity of the Arkansas spa. The ef
forts of the reformers have - shown
that a town may be both prosperous
and decent. A martyrdom in jail will
only serve to add to the fame of the
Hot Springs crusaders.
