Clayton Named for U. S. Senator.
Montgomery, A’a. —Governor O’Neal
announced the appointment of Henry
D. Clayton, Alabama congressman, to
the United States senate to fill the
vacancy caused by the recent death
of Senator Joseph Forney Johnston.
Mr. Clayton’s commission was deliv
ered to him in the governor’s office,
the ceremony being brief. Mr. Clay
ton accepted the appointment and an
nounced that he would leave for
Washington to present his creden
tials to the senate.
Republicans Propose Recess.
Washington.—Republican leaders in
the senate renewed discussion of a
possible recess of congress carrying
with it delay in the final passage of
thee urrency bill until November. The
suggestion was made in Republican
circles that if the Democrats would
agree to a recess immediately after
the tariff bill was passed until Novem
ber 1, much of th ep^esent opposition
to the tariff measure might be with
drawn and the passage of the bill
greatly expedited.
—
No Government Money for Speculation
Washington.—Banks which borrow
or loan money for speculative purpos
es will be denied any portion of the
$50,000,000 of government funds about
to be deposited in national banks to
assist in moving the crops, and the
entire amount will go to institutions
that earnestly strive to meet the cur
rency demands of the agricultural sec
tions. This policy of the treasury de
partment was announced when Acting
Comptroller of the Currency Kane, in
connection with a call for the condi
tion of national banks
Kansas Hottest State in U. S.
Kansas City.—Reports from the va
rious government weather stations
showed that average temperatures in
Kansas were higher than on any pre
vious year. In Missouri and Oklaho
ma the maximum temperature of the
season was equalled. For nie suc
cessive days temperatures in Kansas
have averaged higher than 100 de
grees. This has been the most se
vere hot weather period in Kansas in
27 years and at Topeka . Extreme
humidity and hot winds added to the
discomfort in Kansas.

LIQUOR TRAFFIC HELPS VICE
Thirty of Most Tawdry Resorts of
New York City Earn an Aggre-
gate of $2,000,000 Annually.
Il I I I - •
The results of the painstaking In
vestigation into vice conditions in
New York, conducted by the Rocke
feller bureau of social hygiene, have
been given to the public. The frank
statements of facts discovered read
like chapters from the history of the
dark ages. Naming the saloons, the
dance halls and the so-called massage
parlors as recruiting places where In
jiocent girls seeking legitimate recrea- ■
tion are enticed, ruined and forced to .
become a part of the gigantic traffic
in womanhood, the report makes the
accusation that ‘‘most of the wreck- >
age, and the worst of it, is due to |
persistent, cunning and unprincipled
exploitation; to the banding together
in infamous enterprises of madame,
procurer, brother-keeper and liquor
vender to carry on deliberately a cold
blooded traffic for their joint .^profit;
a traffic, be it added, from which the
girl involved procures at the most,
with few exceptions, her bare subsis
tence, and that only so long as she
has a trade value.”
The part played in this abominable
business by the liquor Interests is
again brought out in the statement
that thirty of the most tawdry resorts
। of New York earn in the aggregate at
least $2,000,000 annually, exclusive of
■ the enormous profits derived from the
illicit sale of liquor and tobacco at
exorbitant prices.
Greed for gold is the foundation of
the whole unholy system, and the
liquor Interests with their millions
are back of It all.
Rev. Walter L. Sumner, head of the
Chicago vice commission, gave it as
his conclusion “that the saloon is the
greatest supporter of the social evil.”
He found that in that one city the
saloons made on liquor furnished to
houses of ill-fame $8,000,000 a year.
“Is it any wonder," he asks, “that the
saloon is in favor of the white slave
traffic and that it supports the social
evil? It protects the houses and as
sists in every way possible to keep
the traffic going."
INTERESTING BIT OF HISTORY
No Use for Police Station in New Zea
land Town After Passage of
No-Llcense Law.
The following interesting bit of his
tory is given by Rev. G. H. Mann of
New Zealand:
“Just before this system (prohibi
tion) came into operation, plans were
passed for enlarging the police station
of Geraldine, but on the eve of elec
tion the work was delayed for a while.
That police station has never been
enlarged to this day. I was in the
station and found that one of the
cells had been turned into a dark
room for photography, another was
used for making picture blocks, an
other was a lumbc*? room, while an
other was used as a storeroom for
the sergeant’s gardening tools. 1
asked where the prisoners were kept
and was told there were none. For
a straight run of sixteen weeks after
the passing of no-llcense there was
no business whatever for the magis
trate in that town.”
DRINKER IS THE MARKED MAN
Announcement by Churchill Shows
Evidence of Widespread Change
In Habits of Seamen.
In the British house of commons re
cently Mr. Churchill made a most in
teresting announcement which shows
in a somewhat conspicuous manner
how the change in drinking habits has
affected the navy. Heretofore a sailor
who did not want the grog ration, un
fortunately allowed, has been marked
“T” —meaning the teetotal exception
to the rule. In the future it is the
sailor wanting the grog ration who is
to be labeled. Over against his name
will be the mark “G” —meaning grog.
’ The position Is thus reversed and the
drinker Instead of the abstainer will
be the marked man. The change is
not a little significant. It is evidence
of a widespread and salutary change
In the habits of the seamen and the
views of his superiors.
Cause of Crime.
The great cause of social crime is
drink. The great cause of poverty is
drink. When I hear of a family brok
en up, I ask the cause —drink. If I
go to the gallows, and ask its victim
the cause, the answer —drink. Then
I ask myself in perfect wonderment,
why do not men put a stop to this
thing?—Archbishop Ireland.
Future Problem.
One of the problems which will vex
the future student of history of this
period will be the question of account
ing for the slowness of the people to
throttle the monster known as the
traffic in intoxicating liquor.—Presi
dent Anthony of Adrain College.
Door Overlooked.
What is-the sense in giving all the
attention to the care of the back-door
product of the saloon and permitting
the stream of humanity to continue to
file through the front door?

MONETJT ONCE
MONEY TO MOVE THE CROPS TO
BE PLACED AT ONCE IN
THE BANKS.
SECURITY NOT DECIDED ON
Government Ready to Begin Making
Deposits in the South-
ern Banks.
Washington.—Treasury department
officials practically decided to begin
within a short time in placing with
banks in the cotton states their pro
portion of the additional $50,000,000
government deposits for crop moving
purposes. The need for these depos
its in the Southern states was outlined
■ by the bankers from that section' at
the recent conferences with officials
of the department.
It was Suited at the department that
> the cotton crop movement already had
i begun and that the need for the money
was urgent. Representatives from
several Florida cities told the depart
ment that unless the money could be
placed within the next few weeks it
would be practically valueless to
them.
A consideration that was most po
tent in deciding the department w»s
that tlie South would return the money
in time for its use in the other sec
tions.
It was indicated that the cotton
planters would be through with mon
ey during September and that it could
be returned to the treasury depart
ment not later than the middle of
November. No final decision has as
yet been reached on the proportion
of the deposits that are to be made
in the respective sections, but! t was
made clear that at least half would
be placed in the South.
Announcement as to the proportion
of the various' kinds of security that
will be accepted has not yet been
made. Government bonds are not to
be insisted upon, however, It was stat
ed at the department. It had been
determined that 10 per cent, of the
security should be in this class, but
at the request of the bankers this con
dition lias been waived. Instead, it
is said the proportion of good com
mercial paper has been increased.
SLOW PROGRESS ON TARIFF
Democratic Leaders Are Now Worried
Over the Situation.
Washington.—Democratic leaders in
the senate are considerably perturbed
over the failure to make progress on
the tariff bill and informal confer
ences have been held with Progressive
Republicans and Regular Republican
leaders in the hope that some means
to hasten the consideration of the
measure might be found. It was stat
ed, however, that nothing definite had
been accomplished.
For the purpose of sounding Repub
lican sentiment, Democratic leaders
have inquired what progress could be
made on the tariff should it be agreed
definitely that the senate would not
take up the currency bill at the pres
ent session. No assurances, it was
reported, were given as to a definite
time for voting on the tariff, but it
was asserted by minority leaders that
such an assurance undoubtedly would
lead to earlier action on the tariff.
Certain suggestions also have been
made as to possible amendments af
fecting wheat, barley and other agri
cultural products.
Americans Lead in Consuming Sugar.
Washington.—Americans continue
to be the greatest consumers of su
gar of any race in the world, accord
ing to a report issued by the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce. In
the fiscal year of 1913, ending June
30, the United States used approxi
mately 8,000,000 pounds of sugar, an
amount never disposed of before in
any twelve months. Os this great
amount fully one-half was Imported
from foreign countries, one-fourth
came from the nation’s Islands and
possessions, and the remainder was
produced at home. Cuba supplied the
greatest amount of any nation, her
contribution being ninetenths of all
sugar received abroad, exclusive of the
island possessions. Os these, Hawaii
contributed the largest amount, Porto
Rico and the Philippines following
Say O’Neal Lacks Power.
Washington.—A telegram was sent
to Democratic leaders in Alabama by
Senator Overman, acting chairman of
the senate judiciary committee, advis
ing them that Governor O’Neal, in
the opinion of the Democratic law
yers in the senate, had no power
now to appoint a successor to the
late Senatpr Joseph F. Johnston. The
message added that a majority of the
lawyer senators held the governor
could call a special election at once,
but qualified this by adding that there
was much difference of opinion.
Father and Son Shot to Death.
Trenton, Tenn.—Hon. W. F. Coul
ter, one of the most prominent law
yers in west Tennessee, and his son,
Harry Coulter, also a prominent law
yer of this section, were shot to
death at the depot here by J. A. Al
ford, a prominent citizen of Ruther
ford. Alford got off the northbound
M. & C. train as It came in and with
out a word shot W. F. Coulter three
times with an automatic 32-caliber
pistol and then, turning, shot Harry
Coulter twice. After Harry ..Coulter
had fallen Alford shot him again.
'IRWINTON, 13;
LONGSTREET, 5
In the third game of the sea
son between Irwinton and Long
street, Irwinton defeated Long
street by the score of 13 to 5,
last Saturday afternoon at
Longstreet. This makes two
out of three the local team has
won from Longstreet. Cannon
went on the mound for Irwinton
at the beginning and pitched
four innings. Junk pitched the
other five and was in good form.
He didn’t give up a hit for five
innings, and only one man
reached first and that was by a
wild throw by the catcher to
first. Veal twirled for Long
street, and the Irwinton men
put the pill all over the lot. The
feature of the game was Ra
gan’s batting, he getting four
safe hits for as many times up,
and the steal which Buchanan
made into home.
The following is the score by
innings:
Irwinton 210 323 011—13
Longstreet .... 121 100 000— 5.
