Governer Brown arranged with
three Atlanta banks and one in Ma
con, all state depositories,. to bhorrow
SIOO,OOO for three months at 2 per
cent for the purpese of paying it to
the school teachers of the state. The
banks lcaning the money are the At
lanta National, the American Nation
al and the Fourth National of Atlanta
and the American National of Macon.
Georgia may have the small brass
cannon conviscated by the umion
‘ein Military Instituts at Maridtfa ane.
ing the war by payment of a small
sum of money. Some time ago Gov
ernor Brown wrote the secretary of
war, asking if this small cannon could
not Dbe returned to the state, to he
placed on the capital grounds. The
cecretary’'s reply was to the effect
that under the law arms confiscaicd
in war were to be used when possible,
but where such arms were of little
vee and sentimental reasons existed
fer returning them, they might be
purchascd for the actual cost of same.
He added that this small cannon,
10w said to be stored in an arsenal
in New York state, might be secured
for about $75. Inasmuch as the state
has no fund to apply to this purpose,
ike amount must be raised by private
subseription, Governor Brown, there
fore, heads the list with $5. There
are many former students of this now
defunct institute living, and they will
probably make wup the necessary
vmount promptly,
An order was'issued by Governor
Erown granting G. C. Covington of
Atlanta, now serving a six months’
sentence in the Fulten Tower “for
shooting at another, permission to
attend his wife’s funeral under the
escort of an officer. It is probable
that an effort will be made at once to
secure Covington a pardon in order
that he may care for his little ones,
The polar controversy has been set
tlicd by the North Rome Debating
society, and the verdict is in favor
of neither Cook nor Peary, but
against both.. At the last meeting
the sceclety discusced the tepic, “Re
=olved, That the World is Round,™
and decided in favor of the negative.
The society is composed of a num
ber of young men who hold weekly
meetings to discuss current topics.
The advance in the price of cotton
of about §1 per bale, resulted in heavy
cales in the Columbus market., Quite
a large number of near by farmers
gold their supply to date and a large
amount of cotton, which was being
Leld for an advance, was disposed of.
About eight thousand bales of cotton
have been received in Columbus up
to date.
The death of Bishop Ward, maik
ing six bishops to die since the last
meeting of the general conference, re
vives the discussion of bishopric tim
ber in the church, That the friends
of Dr. Willlam N, Ainsworth of Dub

He will doubtless have the backing
of the South Georgia conference and
perhaps the North Georgia as well,
He is not only one of the strongest

Seventy-five thousand dollars was

Cotton Now Selling Higher Than
. . &
in the Famous Sully Year.
——— e ;. ! £
The Market is in Contrel of Southern
Operators and Record Prices Are '
Looked for This Season. |
New Orleans, La.—Developments of
a sensaticnal and far-reaching characs
ter have taken place in the cotton
market, The worst tropical storm ex
pericnced in the cotton belt since
that of September 27-28, 1906, caused
an advance of over 2 cents a’pound
in cotton contracts, passed inland
over this city, leaving destruction and
desolation in its wake. The damage
to the cotton crop in nearly all sec
icns of Louisiana and of Mississippl
has been heavy, it being conservative
ly esimated that, as a result of the
storm, which was of the hurricane
type, the yield in thees two states:
and in some portions of Arkansas and
of Tennessee, where the blow was
also felt, has been 'decreased at deast
250,000 bales, In addition to blowing
the locks of cotton out of the bolls,
the torrential rains that accompanied
the storm beat the cotton into the
ground, so that little, if any, of it
tan be picked ox the ground.
In the famous Sulley years, when
cotton ultimately sold at the 18 cents
level, mo such prices as now prevail
were recorded until along in Decenis
ber, when the bulk of the movement
was out of the way. At the top in this
market, December contracts sold as
high as 13.40 and January as high as
13.50. Some profit-taking was indulged
in at this level by the cautious bull{
clement, but the enthusiastic ones re
mained long, believing that he ‘dam
age done by the storm has not yet
been fully discounted, and that stilk
higher levels will be witnessed when
the complete extent of the damage
dcne is known. 4 l
For the first time 3his season, the
coton market is controlled by sou'th~'
ern operators, friends of the south,
who are determined that Dixie Land
shall reap the full benefit of as high
prices as the spinner can pay withs
out clesing his mills,
Before the storm, tne fighting point:
of the bulls was 12 cents; since thei
storm the supporting limit has. been
ern farmer aid his friends,in the mar
wet by a gradual marketing of his cet!
ton, there is no reason why, with such
a poor prospective yield and with such‘
a bright cutlook for trade consump
tion, that average receipts should not|
gell around 13 cents from now until!
January 1. After that date, with halt‘
of their crop disposed of, the rest
could be held for still higher prices,
and it is within the range of proba
bilities that middling spots may ulti
mately sell for 15 cents a pound.
Even with a crop of only 10,500,000
bales, the net financial return on a
crop disposed of on the basis of 13
cents wouid be practically $700.000,
000, witheut counting the extra in

now commanding in this section, any

TAFT PHEACHES 1¢ MORMONS.
Great Congregation wmeard the Pres
ident in the Salt Lake Temple.
Salt Lake City, Utah.—ln the pulpit
of the famous Mormon Tabernacie, in
‘tals city, where, four years ago, Hon.
Theodore Roosecvelt, then president,
preached a long sermon on right liv
ing and the duties of good citizenship
President Taft faced an audience
which, he said, inspired him to try to
follow in the footsteps of his prede
cessor and deliver a preacament, Mr.
Taft did preach a sermon—text and
all, The immense audience in the
flag-draped edifice, the splendid music
al programs of operatic and patriotic
selections, the enthusiastic cheering
as President Taft appeared and the
quick response of the audience to the
points which he endeavored to impress
upon his hearers, inspired, the presi
dent declared, to higher thoughts of
country and patriotism, :
The president’s sermon was an ap
peal for amity between the people—
for attributing the best rather than
the worst motives to the action of
others when possible to do 80, and not
to harbor hatred or animosity,
“A soft answer turneth avsy wrath,
but grievous words stir up anger,” was
the text Mr. Taft selected from the
Book of Proverbs. !

~ PELLAGRA NOT CAUSED BY CORN.
Gg;ommont Surgeon Could Find Na
. Local Cause for the Disease.
‘Washington, D, C.—Expressing a
condent belief that pellagra is likely
to fbecome in this country a public
hedlth problem of greater proportions
t"‘.-'can at the present time be real
ized, C. H. Lavinder, assistant surgeon
in the public health and marine hos
pital service, has just reported the
Tesults of his investigations of the
pEßYalence of that disease in the Illi
nßls state hospital so rthe insane, to
Sugeon General Wyman, As a pre
lud® to his report, Dr. Lavinder states
tha#t the housing, feeding and care of
paflents in this institution are above
T@icism, |
A& soon as the strange malady was
digficovered in the Iliinois institution
anfl finally diagnosed as pellagra, the
pulilic health and marine service was
reéjuested to co-operate in the inves
tigation of the outbreak there. There
ars in the neighborhood of forty or
sissy wéll-defined cases of pellagra in
tHB institution, according to Dr. Lav
infer. He states that the type of the
diease found there differs in some
ofpects from the general type he is
fumiliar with in the south, but that
the disease should vary in different
lopalities is said to be not unusual,
"The conditions are, however,” de
clared Dr. Lavinder, “definite end well
marked, and admits of a positive diag
nggis. Inquiry was made as to how
lich corn or its products entered into
tHe general diet, and it was learned
th "t corn. was used sparingly, perhaps

_ #“There is one phase of the situation

F@w Being Used in Various Hospitals

MWashington, D, C.—Striking illus
t@itions in the rapid decline in the
e of drugs in the"various hospitals
off the country featured the sessions
the eleventh annual conference of

ort of the committee on hospital ef
ficiency, hospital finance and econo
‘mies of administration, which was
presented by Dr. R. R. Ross, superin
tendent of the Buffalo, N. Y., general
hospital.
Dr. Ross declared that 15 years ago
the annual costs of medicines for each
patient in the Massachusetts general
nospital was about $2.90, while last
year it was only 91 cents. He showed
that the ccst of drugs in the Buffalo
general hospital also had shown a
marked detrease for the&past vear.
The commitiee urged full publicity
of hospital affairs, declaring it entire
ly etkical for hospitals to present their
advantages before the public in an
attractive manner and in such a way
as to encourage confidence in the pub
lic, a knowledge among patients that
taeir interests are being carefully
guarded.
