cheapest Roods ever bought In this market

C. S. S. HORNE & CO.
NORFOLK, VA., Sept 19.—(Spec
ial.)—Dixie Is to go dry, and thus set on ment.
an example that will soon be follow
ed by the rest of the country.
This Is tho dictum of the distin
guished temperance exponents who
will celebrate National Temperance
day at the Jamestown Exposition to
morrow, following the convention of
the National Anti-Saloon league,
which has been in session here during
the week.
The great exposition auditorium
will be filled with the prohibition
hosts when the meeting Is called to
order, and the milk white flag much
In evidence.
A ‘call of states" Is to be the fea
ture of the day, delegates from all
sections telling of their victories over
the rum demon.
The greatest enthusiasm will be
manifested as speaker after speaker
tells briefly of battles fought and
won in the cause of temperance. Ap
parently the southern states are now
leading in the movement, and it will
be freely predicted that in the course
of a few years there will be a new
'solid south”—solid for the absolute
prohibition of the manufacture
sale of any kind of alcoholic bever
ages.
Has An Economic Basis.
On the face of it this change in
southern sentiment Is one of the most
amazing ethical movements ever wit
nessed, but thoughtful adherents of
the cause admit that it Is not alto
gether due to the agitation of tem
perance people, but has a sound
economic basis.
The labor of negroes Is necessary
to the prosperity of the South, and It
has been proven to the satisfaction
of the Southern people that liquor is
largely responsible for the shlftless-'
ness, laziness and crime of the black
race. The race riots In Atlanta, or
iginating In the low groggerles, did
much to bring about the passage of
the Georgia prohibition law, which
becomes effective on ’January 1 next
'Am I my brother's keeper?" has
been answered with an affirmative by
the white citizens of many southern
states.
In other commonwealths of Dixie
the temperance hosts are in the as
cendant. Kentucky, once the strong
hold of the liquor business, Is rapid
ly being "reformed.” More than 80
per cent, of Texas Is said to be cov
ered by prohibition laws. Liquor has
been driven from every part of Ten
nessee except the big cities. Most
sections of Mississippi are dry as a
bone. Alabama Is likely to soon Join
the prohibition ranks. North Caro
lina’s next legislature will consider
prohibition law. Scores of Virgin
ia counties and towns have voted
out rum. South Carolina, after much
experiment in the regulation of the
sale of liquor. Is Bald to be ripe for
the prohibitionists' picking. Liquor
has been driven from all but the
urban districts of Missouri.
Delegates from the West and
North, while not able to report so
much progress, are exceedingly hope
ful, and declare that within a decade
the death knell of the liquor busi
ness will be sounded throughout the
land.
EATONTON, GA„ Sept 21.—(Spec
ial)—The sensational trial of the
Jones brothers, Porter and Albert
Jones, for the murder of Robert
Adams, a prominent and highly res
pected fartner of this county, was con
cluded this afternoon when the Jury
returned a verdict of guilty with rec
ommendation to mercy, which con
signs the young men to life lmprls-
The murder was an atro
cious crime, Mr. Adams being shot
down in his field while at work. He
survived long enough to'tell his wife
that one of the Jones boys bad shot
him. The prosecution showed that
both young men participated in the
crime, and both were convlicted In
the trial ending today. Owing to the
prominence of all the parties invol
ved the trial excited greatest Interest
The murder was the result of a fam
ily feud of long standing.

Hon. Thmoas G. Hudson, of the
state department of agriculture, came
down to Amerlcus yesterday to spend
n day nt his home here.. Commission
er Hudson, In' discussing the cotton
crop- prospect In the state, said yes
terday that he had no reason to
change his estimate of 1,500,000
bales, which he made several weeks
ago after having gone carefully over
the greater part of the state. And
this, too, after the “hot winds" had
wrought such fearful havoc with
the crop. In middle and north Geor
gia, Mr. Hudson says, .the crop pros
pect Is not nearly ao good as here in-
south Georgia, and It has deteriorated
here greatly within the past month.
Mr. Hudson feels safe In putting his
estimate at 1,600,000 bales, or 1,600,-
000 at the very extreme figure as the
result of late frost. Georgia's great
est yield In history was the bumper
crop of two years ago, and even then
the total did not go beyond 1,900,-
000 bales.

The suit of Martin against the Cen
tral of Georgia Railway Co., was con
cluded In the City Court of Americas
at noon yesterday and resulted In a
verdict for the defendant company
after the Jury bad remained out but
a short time.
The trial of this case concluded
all business for the day.
The suit was for $10,000 for tho
death of a small negro boy. Watt Mar
tin, who was run over and killed byH
a car In the freight yards here a year
ago.
Judge W. D. Klddoo and Mr. J. B.
Hudson represented the railroad,
while Messrs James Taylor and J. A.
HIxon represented Martin.
The contention of the plaintiff was
that the boy was run down by a
shifting engine while he was walk-'
Ing In the yards and that his death
was due to negligence of the com
pany In not having a watchman at
that point.
The point In question was opposite
the freight depot where there is jno
street crossing and which Is . not a
public highway.
The contention of the defendant
company was that the little negro,
while walking about tho yards, at
tempted to mount tho running board
of the switch engine and fell beneath
the freight car which it was pull
ing.
There was no blood upon the en
gine wheels, and tho company wa3
not at fault and did not run down
the boy, according to the verdict ot
the Jury.
