VACATION SCHOOL
PROJECT WINNER
Head of the Movement Sees
Opening of New Life for
Children.
Dr. Marion Hall, In charge of the
summer vacational schools of the Men
and Religion Forward Movement, with
TV. W. Orr and J. J. Eagan, of the Bible
study board, noted remarkable progress
by Atlanta children on a tour of in
spection of the newly established
schools today.
“1 am highly pleased with the Work
and can see that It Is opening up a new
life for the young people,” said Dr. Hall
at the conclusion of the visit. ‘‘Wo
will endeavor to enlarge the schools at
once.”
The trip of inspection began shortly
before 10 o'clock and lasted until a
complete examination of the work in
the four schools had been made.
Children busily engaged in drawing,
sewing, weaving and other arts, as well
as Riving time for singing and simple
study of the Bible, were found In the
schools —all in churches or public
school rooms. Three of them are for
white children, located in Wesley Me
morial and the Immanuel Baptist
churches and the Exposition Cotton
Mills school. The fourth, for negro
children, is being held at the Richland
street mission, an educational building
established by the Central Presbyterian
church.
In the morning hours the children are
given lessons in industrial arts, are
taught lessons from religious works
and later are grouped for a number of
religious songs. Then they are in
structed in athletic exercises, or are
taken for little picnics. Some of them
have been given hourly automobile
rides in cars furnished by Atlanta men
behind the work.
There are no expert teachers con
nected with the schools, but the results
would not indicate It. Every teacher is
a college or high school student', but
they have brought the young attend
ants to an astonishingly high plane of
living. A great deal of time Is given Lu
emphasizing the necessity of good hab
its and good morals, and the children
have readily responded to the teach
ings.
Each week the teachers meet with
Rev. G. R. Buford, superintendent of
the schools, for a brief conference, and
at this meeting plans for the week are
thoroughly discussed.
Already many plans for enlargement
and advancement of the work have
been laid, and when the schools open
at the next vacation period, in June,
1913, larger halls for the groups of chil
dren will be necessary, it is thought.
The schools have at present 1,147 chil
dren attending them, which grew from
537 six weeks ago.

DARROW, CONFIDENT,
I RESUMES STAND TO
FINISH HIS DEFENSE
LOS ANGELES. July 30.—Resuming
the witness stand when the morning
session of Judge Hutton's court opened
today, Clarence Darrow expected today
to complete his testimony in his own
behalf. Fortified by a good night's rest,
the famous labor lawyer had a confi
dent bearing.
Rogers, chief counsel for Darrow, and
Darrow conferred before the trial open
ed. Rogers in his direct examination
wanted to jump ahead to the more im
portant points, but Darrow protested to
his counsel that he preferred to take
the story up chronologically. He said
it would be easier that way, and Rogers
acquiesced.
Coincident with the order of the court
that the defense be permitted to in
spect all documents in the possession of
the state purporting to be written by
the defendant, District Attorney Fred
ericks turned over to the defense a
fat envelope today. Before he went on
the stand, Darrow perused copies of tel
egrams and letters, most of which were
secured by the Federal authorities orig
inally.
It Is. expected that Darrow's cross
examination will begin before the end
of the day’s session.
PUT OFF TRAIN FOR
WRONG TICKET, SHE
NOW ASKS $10,000.00
The suit for SIO,OOO, which Mrs. J. C.
Duggard, of Douglasville, brought in the
Cobb county superior court against the
Southern Railway company, was trans
ferred today to the Federal court and will
be set for the fall term.
Mrs. Duggard alleges that on March 10
of this year she was given the wrong
ticket by the ticket agent at Douglasville
and when she got on the train found
that she had a ticket to Birmingham,
Ala., instead of to Pelham. Ga.. where
she wanted to go. She says she was put
off the train at Austell and was forced to
delay her arrival in Pelham until next
day. Bodily injury from having to remain
in an unheated station at Austell in the
early morning and the humiliation of
being put off the train, coupled with the
anguish suffered ' because her grandson
was supposed to be dying at Pelham are
given as grounds for the suit.

pocketbook. The count will not present
his wife at court,
"Mingling with royalties has too
many worries and obligations,” he said.

TEXAS SHOWERS

Weather Report Causes Heavy
Selling and Prices Accord
ingly Decline.
NEW YORK, July 30.- Irregularity was
shown in the cotton market on the open
ing today, with first figures ranging from
unchanged to 2 points higher to 1 to 4
Eoints lower than the previous close,
iverpool cables were lower than expect
ed In consequence of bearish houses sell
ing to depress prices. Within 10 minutes
after the opening the market was under
heavy selling pressure, led by some big
professionals with the ring crowd helping
out, causing prices to break with losses
from 9 to 17 points below the previous
close. This was explained on the ground
the market was overbought and'that the
crop in Texas had been exaggerated.
Later. however, the market rallied 5 to 14
points.
The weather conditions reported favor
able over the larger nart of the belt.
The market was still under heavy sell
ing during the afternoon session on re
ports from Texas saying a few light scat
tered showers had prevailed over that
state. This report renewed the aggress
iveness of big professionals and the ring
crowd who have been unloading some of
their long lines taking profit, causing
prices to show a further decline from the
early decline, prices being 17 to 27 points
below the previous close. This reaction
may be extended temporarily further, but
it puts the market in a healthier posi
tion, and it is firmly believed a higher
market will follow.
At the close the market was steady
with prices showing net losses of 26 to
J 6 points from the final of Monday's quo
tations.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, July 30.—Weather
map shows little change. Dart cloudy in
the northern third of the belt. Balance
generally fair. No rain except .22 at Pal
estine, Texas; .60 at Jacksonville, Fla.,
and .28 at Memphis. Very high tempera
tures in north Texas, with minimum of 82
at Abilene and Fort Worth.
The maximum average for Texas yester
day was 104 and for Oklahoma 104. Three
stations in Texas showed 100, ten showed
102, nine 104, three 106, six 108 and four
104. Indications for part cloudy in the
northwest quarter. Possibly some show
ers in Arkansas and northern Oklahoma.
Continued warm and generally fair in the
balnce of the western states. Increasing
cloudiness and thunder showers are Indi
cated for today and tomorrow over the
Eastern half of the belt. After a dry spell
of ten days such conditions would be most
favorable for crop development in the
central and eastern states.
Liverpool is halting around 7.00. Spot
prices unchanged. Our market opened
about 4 points lower and sold off to 13.10
for October in the early trading, owing
to further easiness in New York. Buying
was checked by news that leading longs
had sold heavily yesterday In the last
hour. The market in the second hour
eased further. October selling to 12.99 on
reports of sprinkling at Fort Worth and
Dallas. Light showers will hardly do any
good. What Is needed is a general ample
rainfall. The market recovered promptly
to 18.10 for October, but is upset by the
rapid fluctuations and lie rain rumors
which will take some time to settle.

NEWS AND GOSSIP’
Os the Fleecy Staple
NEW YORK, July 30.—Carpenter, Bag
got & Co.; The Journal or Commerce
reports the following on conditions of
Georgia and Louisiana:
Georgia—Reports from Georgia are
somewhat conflicting, but there is gen
eral complaint of too much rain. The
plant Is often reported small and stand
rather poor. It is somewhat grassy and
cultivation not good. In some portions of
the state, however, n good deal of im
provement is reported forythe last few
days. Crop is still two or three weeks
late. •
Louisiana —Althongh many sections
were planted three weeks late, growth
and fruitagle have been rapid and per
centage condition appears to have held
its own, compared with a month ago,
when it was 75 per cent. The plant is
generally healthy, doing well and fruitage
satisfactory. Too much rain has encour
aged grass In some sections, but as a rule
cultivation is good 801 l weevils are
general, but up to date have not caused
much damage.
Browne. Drakeford £• Co., Liverpool,
cable: "The market has declined in con
sequence of bearish houses selling to de
press price, sentiment becoming more
bearish, fearing South selling.”
Hood, Ferris Co. cable: “Bureau
expected very bullish, but present move
ment is quite speculative. We are at a
dangerous point. May be higher, but we
advise caution. Texas would break mar
ket 50 points quickly.”
The heavy selling during the early
trading was led hy Wilson. Gear. Schill
and the ring crowd.
Commission houses have been among
the best buyers and sellers during the
past few days, which is believed to be for
the public interest.
Dallas wires: "Texas Scattered
clouds in ail sections. Oklahoma—Gen
erally clear; light rain in Sayre.”
Belton, Tex., wires. "Cotton suffering
from excessive beat and lack of rain;
temnerature 110 here now.”
The weekly government report on
weather worse than expected and un
favorable.
Liverpool cables: “Tendency somewhat
reactionary; talent ultimately bullish, but
temporary short; distinctly nervous and
news makes sharp changes. Every one
talking continued big trade, iJtncashire
and hoping for ample supplies.”
Talk -f prospect of less than 14,000 000
bales crop would undoubtedly start a
further advance.
The ring erwod sold on reported rain
at Fort Worth, but report was not offi
cial.
A prominent export house of Fort
Worth wires: "Owing to extreme tem
peratures and hot winds, never heard of
more complaint talked of all over and
deterioration everywhere.”
Following are 11 a. m. blds: July
12.73, October 12.96, December 13.01, Jan
uary 13.97.
NEW ORLEANS, July 30.—Hayward &
Clark: The weather map shows partly
cloudy in north Texas, Oklahoma; no rain
except .22 at Palestine. Tex. Generally
fair elsewhere: no rain except Jackson
ville, Fla. Very high temperatures in
north Texas from Abilene to Sherman.
Indications are for increasing cloudiness;
probably thundershowers east of Missis
sippi river; partly cloudy to fair In west
ern staes: continued warm and cloudy;
possibly showers and cooler in Arkansas.
Forecaster says there will be rains in all
the eastern states tonight, but none 4n

GOOD BUYING IN

Expectation of Heavy Yield of |
Growing Crops Stimulates
Trade in Securities.
By CHARLES W. STORM.
NEW YORK, July 30.—The stock mar
ket opened quiet and fairly stqady today
with price changes confined to the small
est fractions. After tiie first ten min
utes of trading a slight irregularity which
had been in evidence gave way to a
somewhat firmer tone and advances oc
curred from the opening figures. Ameri
can Sugar scored the highest of these
with a gain of 1 point. Initial recessions
of from % to ’» In Reading. Steel com
mon, Northern Pacific, Great Northern
preferred, American Beet Sugar and other
Issues were succeeded by almost uniform
f’ains. which brought prices to or slight
y above the levels of yesterday’s close.
American shares in the London market
were strong, but slow. Covering was in
evidence there in Canadian Pacific.
The curb market opened steady.
The tone in the late forenoon was dull
but firm. Fractional gains were made In
nearly all the Important Issues. Expecta
tions of a very heavy yield of growing
crops induced good buying.
A firm tone appeared in the last half
hour and substantial gains were made in
many of the important stocks. Canadian
Pacific was prominent, scoring a gain of
1% points. Union Pacific, Reading, Atch
ison, Amalgamated Copper were the fea
tures, closing at about the highest points
of the day.
On the curb Standard Oil Company of
Kansas shares made a sensational jump
of 80 points, going to 425.
The market closed dull, but firm; gov
ernments unchanged; other bonds firm.

MISSISSIPPI DELTA
COTTON 25 PER CENT
BELOW A YEAR AGO
MEMPHIS, TENN., July 30.—A bulletin
was displayed at the cotton exchange to
day showing the condition of tha cotton
crop in the Mississippi delta to be of 25
per cent lower grade than on a corre
sponding date In 1911. Between Shaw
and Vicksburg, Miss., where high waters
In April prevented planters from planting,
thousands of acres have never been
plowed. Cotton on the ridgea is but six
to eight inches tall and only starting to
bloom. In other parte of the overflowed
delta farmers plowed up cotton and plant
ed corn.
The latter crop has been greatly dam
aged by dry, hot weather with army
worms eating Into the healthy cotton dis
trlcts In northern Mississippi, destroying
hundreds .of acres The Arkansas, west
Tennessee and Mississippi corn crop Is
practically ruined by dry weather.
