The*e Didn't Care to Labor.
Americus Times-Recorder: A gentleman
residing within the corporate limits of the
city wanted to harvest a field of corn yes
terday morning, but because of his in
ability to hire three hand s to do the work
the corn still stands in the field. By ac
tual count he accosted twenty-throe col
ored citizens whom he found grouped
about the artesian well, discussing the
Chinese muddle, but not a mother’s son
of them wanted a Job at 60 cents a day
with three meals thrown in.
Canned Muoh Kruit.
Sandersviile Progress: A large quantity
of fruit has been canned in Washington
county this year. The small canning out
fits which are used for this purpose are a
great convenience to the people generally.
Some of the owners of these outfits have
gone to the homes of the owners of the
orchards and canned the fruit on shares.
There is a large crop of pears now ma
turing, and as this is one of the best
varieties of fruit for canning no doubt
much of it will be saved in this way in
stead of allowing it to fall off and decay.
Has Three Caitnitig Factories.
Butler Herald: Reynolds has three can
ning factories which turn out several hun
dred cans of fruit and vegetables daily,
the most important of which is that of
Mr. E. H. Marshall. He has an excellent
process of canning and has already turn
ed out about 15,000 cans of fruit and vege
tables. We have tried some of the fruit
canned by Mr. Marshall and found it to
be the best we have eaten. The machine
used by Mr. Marshall is simple and every
family should have one of their own. Mr.
Marshall uses the tin can and is guaran
teed to keep good for several years.
Cnmminnion to J. H. Tipton.
Governor Candler issued a commission
Monday to J. H. Tipton of Worth county,
to be solicitor of the Worth county court.
Solicitor Tipton succeeds himself in the
office, being appointed by the Governor
on the etrong recommendation of the
Judge and solicitor of the circuit court and
a majority of the members of the Worth
county bar. There were three applicants
for the position, but the strongest in
dorsements were presented by Solicitor
Tipton, who, though not a supporter of
Governor Candler, was promptly appoint
ed on the ground that he was the best
man for the place.
After a liana way Detective.
Judge Candler of the Superior Court of
Fulton couwty wants Dave Looney, for
merly a city detective, who is under sen
tence to serve twenty days in jail for the
offense of tampering with a juror by the
name of Jeff Penn, and has instructed
Sheriff Nelms to nee every effort to ar
rest Looney and place him in jail. Loo
ney is under bond of SI,OOO. which he gave
pending a review of his case by the Su
preme Court. A few days before the Su
preme Court rendered a decision in the
case, which was against the ex-detective,
Looney left Atlanta and took up his resi
dence in Cornelia. Later, when the sher
iff sent one of his deputies after him. it
was found that Looney had left there and
gone somewhere else. Monday it was
learned that Looney was located in the
section of Cedortown. and on effort will
b* made to get him and bring him back
to Atlanta. The news that tho ex-de
tective was In or about Cedartawn came
in the nature of a telegram to Sheriff
Nelms, asking if .there was a reward for
Looney. The sheriff answered there was
none, but that he would personally give
$lO for Looney's arrest. Judge Candler
says that he has no authority to offer a
reward for Looney, but impressed upon
Sheriff Nelms the importance of hi using
every effort to secure the ex-dctectlve’s
arrest.

Tampa Times: The people of Tampa are
deeply indebted to Dr. W. F. Brunner, the
health officer at Savannah, for his con
servative and wise course in the emergency
through which we have just passed. His
course has had much to do with restoring
public confidence and preventing foolish

% qnnrnnline Story,
Tampa Tribune: G. O. Turner, the well
known liveryman, was in a peculiar pre
dicament Sunday last. He went out on
Saturday, it seems, to spend a day at
Sulphur Spring, and when he started to
return, found to his amazement that he
could not pass the guard stationed at the
bridge. Thus we see that even the ten
der ties that bind husband and wife, father
and children, become as nnught in a yel
low fever quarantine. At last reports.
Mr. Turner was threatening to swim the
Hillsborough and walk to Tampa, and had
to l>e forcibly restrained from carrying his
threat into execution.
Another Hardwood Plant.
Martin, Fla.. correspondence of
Morning News: Mr. Brown, who is the
manager of the North Carolina and Vir

ing of their plant together with about $273,-
000 worth of material, the total loss aggre
gating $300,000. They have a plant at
Fairfield, Fla., now’ in operation.
The truckers are preparing their lands
for another cabbage crop, and it is hoped
they will succeed this time, for they lost
their entire cabbage crops the past two

Clinked to Dentli.
Choked to death on his false teeth is the
fate that befell D. W Bingham, a promi
ment farmer of Bradford county, at his
home near Starke Monday night. Mr.
Bingham was enting supper at the time
of the unusual accident. He placed a
piece of beefsteak in his mouth and be
gan chewing it with his artificial teeth.
The meat was unusually tough and before
it was sufficiently masticated for swal
lowing the false teeth were displaced. They
slipped down his throat and lodged in the
windpipe, effectually closing the avenue
of respiration and slowly choking Mr.
Bingham to death. His struggles to free
his throat from the impediment were ter
rible to witness. He fell on the floor and
rolled over in the keenest agony, groan
ing inwardly as the false teeth lacerated
the interior of his throat. He died in
fifteen minutes- after the teeth were dis
placed. Mr. Bingham was a reliable citi
zen and a large number of friends mourn
his death.

discriminate shooting and attempts to
murder have been of almost daily occur
rence re*r Chiplry. the county seat of
Washington. Thursday night, how
ever. a climax was reached when about
a dozen masked men proceeded to the
quartets of a turpentine camp, and, call
ing out the occupants, who were qjpstly
n< groes, tiled several volleys from Win-
rifles ard shotguns into their
midst. One negro was instantly killed and
four danger usly wounded, two of whom
are reported as having dUd Monday morn
ing. The firing was kept up for several
minutes, but no one else was hit, as at
the first volley, all ran back and hatred
the doors and windows, thus escaping a
wholesale killing. The coroner’s jury ver
dict was tha the dead negro met his
death from gunshot wounds, inflicted by
unknown parties. Two farmers are sus
pected. and have been jailed. The arrest
of two suspects was thought to have had
a quieting effect on the lawless element,
but such is not the case. Saturday morn
ing. wh.le a white man was at his post
of duty in the turpentine district, he was
suddenly confronted by a nan in dis
guise, and told to “move on. and not
come back.” Failing to “move” as fast
as his unwelcome visitor would wish, a
few shots were tired, which had the de
sired effect of electrifying him.
DAGGETT'S BODY FOIXD.
Discovered a Mile From Where the
Tragedy Oeenrred.
From the Charleston News and Courier,
% Aug. 8.
The searching patty, headed by Mr.
Chri ; Fitter, on the sloop Catherine, which
had been chartered by Stonewall Lodge,
K. of P., went down to Kiawah yester
day to look for the bodirs of Mr. Walter
Daggett and Mr. Lindsay Hipe and found
both at about 8 o’clock in the morning.
The body of Mr. Daggett was washed up
on the beach of Bird Island, a small
sandy islet just opposite Kiawah, and
about one mile from the scene of the ac
cident. Mr. Hope’s body was found on
the back beach of Kiawah Island, about
cne quarter of a mile from the other
The bodies were put on beard the sloop
as quickly as possible and wiih this sad
lead the searchers leturned to the city
last night.
Coroner Duffus viewed the remains and
then they were taken to undertakers’
rooms to be prepared for burial. In or
der to comply with the law an inquest
must be held, but, of course, there is no
djubt in any on-’s mind about the cause
of death. The bodies were net mutilated
in any way to suggest an attack by
sharks, as was once urged, but they must
have evidently either given up from fa
tigue or been seized with cramps.
The funeral services of the late Walter
L. Daggett will be held at Magnolia Cem
etery at 5:30 o’clock. The funeral services
of the late Mr. Hope will be held in Bethel
M. E. Church yard at 11 o’clock this morn

Morning News Office, Aug. 8.
The feature of the markets to-day was
the drop in the cotton market, which went
off >4 cent at the opening, at which the
situation was posted nominal. No trans
actions were reported for the day. While
the local spot market went off the futures
market went the other way, scoring an ad
vance of 9 and 12 points in response to
strong advices from Liverpool and an ad
vance in that market. News from the
crop belt was calculated to make shorts
nervous, and in the afternoon their efforts
to cover was to some extent responsible
for the buoyant tone the market.
The turpentine market closed firm at
39*4 cents, with a fair demand for the of
ferings. Factors were making deliveries
quite freely, it was reported. The ad
vance in rosins after the close was the
feature of the naval stores trading. The
higher grades sold off, while the lower
grades sold at an advance on the closing
quotations. The demand was good and
the market apparently well supported.
The wholesale markets were steady. The
following resume of the different markets
will show the tone and quotations at the
closing to-day;
COTTON.
The cotton market closed nominal to
day at a decline of >4 cent on all grades.
There were no transactions reported. The
receipts were in fair volume. The inter
est of the trade was directed to the fu

to strong Liverpool advices and an ad

COTTON FUTURES.
Market Closes Steady at a Net Rise
of St®l2 Points.
New York, Aug. B.—The cotton market
showed considerable irregularity and ex
citement all day with the speculation
heavy. The opening call was favorably
influenced by local. Southern and for
eign buying orders which caused an ad
vance of I@s points. Public speculative
interest on the bull side was not satisfac
tory, however, and the local bear raid
soon disposed of the early improvement.
Later urgent foreign end Southern de-
mand made its appearance and values
soon worked their way up to a level 10015
points above the closing of the previous
day's figures. A rather firmer general
sentiment became apparent. The basis
for the change was a degree of conflict
in tile crop accounts. The bull contin
gent also had the advantage of small new
crop receipts. At all points they fell be
low the recent full average'. During the
afternoon the feature of the trading was
furnished by the shorts who lost no op
portunity to cover. There was no rush of
new specula five buying, however, some
of the traders here, basing their views
ot private cables, predicted a bullish
Liverpol opening to-morrow following a
reconsideration of yesterday’s weekly
crop report from Washington. The gov
ernment report due next Friday was
also feared, and as the market has thus
sustained a considerable decline conserv
ative shorts preferred to place themselves
in a position for an unprejudiced view of
the situation upon the appearance of the
bureau report for August, one of the most
important statements of the season
Closed very steady at a net rise of 10 to
12 points.

COTTON LETTERS.
New York, Aug. B.—Hubbard Bros. & Cos.
say; The advance in Liverpool to-day was
a sharp answer to our advance of yester
day and found response at our opening.
From this point there was a recession
caused by realizing by yesterday’s buy
ers being a decline of 5 points. Liverpool
closing steady at the best prices led to
increased buying here for local account
and covering by the shorts, who feel the
bureau report may not show the improve
ment which private advices report as hav
ing occurred during July. Commission
merchants receive many favorable reports
from the crop and the weather appears
good for a continued improvement. The
trade, however, are uneasy over the ap
proach of the bureau report and the local
rains in Texas. This character of weath
er in the past has generally made a large
yield, but the small supply creates good
uneasiness at the possibilities of injury.
New York, Aug. B.—Murphy & Cos. say:
Liverpool sent surprisingly strong advices
this morning and caused a rather feverish
opening, though this market did not re
spond to the bullish cables, and at the
advance bears sold freely. Liverpool
bought near and sold far months. Trad
ing has been on a large scale and the
market has ruled very feverish and irreg
ular. Weather reports not favorable. Our
advices from South Carolina, Alabama and
Georgia not very good. We look for an
erratic market pending the bureau report
and expect further advance unless crop
accounts become decidedly more favor
able. The bureau is expected to show an
improvement of 8 to 10 per cent. If it
only reports a condition of 80 against 70
last month the market would probably im
prove, as the interest is an unusually short
one.
DRY GOODS.
New York, Aug. B.—Demand for heavy
brown cottons light and market easy.
Bleached cottons quietly steady; wide
sheetings sell moderate. Coarse colored
cottons inactive and irregular. Prints
show a steady improvement in demand
chiefly in staple lines. Ginghams quiet
and unchanged. Print cloths inactive,
but prices maintained. (Men’s wear wool
ens, quiet. Market for serges easy; dress
goods dull and unchanged. Bilks Inactive
and easy.

Wednesday, Aug. 8.
SPIRITS TURPENTINE—The turpen
tine market closed firm to-day at 39%
cents, with a good demand for the offer
ings. Factors applied* receipts to con
tracts freely, so that the offerings in the
open market were not reported to be
large. Some foreign demand sprung up, it
was reported, and other conditions con
tributed to give the situation a firmer
tone. A considerable element of the trade
believe that the bottom has been reached,
and do not, therefore, anticipate any fur-'
ther immediate declines. The day's re
ceipts were 1,515, sales 300, and the ex
ports 232.
ROSINS—The rosin market closed firm
at an advance of five cents on grades I,
K and N. At the opening there were re
ported sales of 871 barrels, which con
stituted the day's official business.
After the closing there was considerable
business done, and prices accordingly
changed. The higher grades sold off. and
the lower grades up. Sales of water white
were marie on a basis of quotations, win
dow glass at $2.25. five cents off; N at
$2.15, five centa off; M at quotations, K at
quotations, I at quotations, H at 10 cents
above quotations at $1.65; G at $1.60, whi<*i
was 10 cents above; F at $1.55, or 10 cents
up; E 10 cents up; D and below. 5 cents
above quotations. Saks of a sufficient
quantity were made in each instance to
establish the market.
The day's receipts of rosins were 3,329,
sales 871, and the exports 3,021. The fol

STOCKS AND BONDS.
The Movement of Price* Trivial and
Innitfniflcnnt.
New York, Aug. B.—The stock market
to-day was even duller than yesterday
and the movement of prices was trivial
and insignificant without any important
exception. The room traders sold stocks
in the mroning impelled apparently by
the heavy volume of gold to be exported.
Estimates “were put out that the amount
of shipments to-day and to-morrow would
amount up to over $7,006,000. When it was
seen that the total would not exceed $5,-
300,000 the room shorts covered.
The market closed practically lifeless
near to last night’s level. Yesterday's ad
vancing tendency in United States Rub
ber was contested, and that stock was
quite active and feverish, running over
134 and closing at a net gain of %. There
was the usual professional dealing in Su
gar and Brooklyn Transit, the latter suf
fering from the delay in publication of the
annual report which has been promised
at various times. The large American,
subscriptions to the new British exche
quer bond® continued to absorb a largo
amount of discussion and surmise in Wall
street. As an evidence of the large re
sources of capital available to the coun
try the incident was generally accepted
as subject for national congratulation,
but as an evidence of the acute pressure
to which the London money market is be
ing subjected and possible results on the
world at large of these conditions, it was
not regarded as reassuring.
It is evident from the public criticism in
England of the large allotment made to
the United States and the apo!ogelc tone
of the explanation to Parliament by the
chancellor of the exchequer, that the
policy adopted was forced by money con
siderations which might also he classed
as embarrassed. The real cause looming
big behind the movement of gold is the
expenditure and preparations for war,
shown by the efforts to replenish the na
tional treasure chests. To-morrow's ship
ments of gold to Paris show that that cen
ter is still in competition with London
for the precious metal and 1 the piling up
of reserves by the Bank of France is now
commonly accepted as a preparation for
a Russian loan said to amount to $200,-
000,000. The news of renewed attacks on
the legations in Pekin, the progress of
hostilities involved in the march on Pe
kin and the language of the Queen's ad
dress in proroguing Parliament ail gave
force to these considerations and con
tributed to the profound dullness of spec
ulation in securities, not only in New
York, but in all the great financial mar
kets.
Bonds were neglected and irregular.
Total sales par value, $875,000.
U. S. new fours declined %. and the
threes and* old fours % in the bid price.
The total sales of stocks to-day were
114,000 shares, including Union Pacific,
