THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.
ICED FI FLEE GIRLIN CONTEST
Illinois Couple Reach Atlanta Af
ter Wandering Aimlessly About
Country for a Month.
Fleeing from an Illinois poorhouse,
William Smith and his wife, both
more than 80 years old, arrived in
Atlanta Monday afternoon after a
month of aimless drifting about the
tountry, with no money and no idea
Of their ultimate destination.
They shambled into the Terminal
Station off a train from Rome, the
old man, who is crippled, leaning
tteavily on his wife’s shoulders.
They had eaten nothing for nearly
twelve hours, their clothes were mere
rags, and they were so feeble they
had. to be assisted tq seats in the
station by Train Caller Charles Grif-
3n and the matron. Mrs. J. W. Payne
A month ago they had a little home
In Brown County, Ill., they said, a
house and an acre or two on which
they raised enough to keep them
alive. One day the old man hurt
his foot. Unable to work, they ap
pealed to their neighbors for aid. The
county officials took up the matter
and decided to send them to the
poorhouse.
The old man and his wife, once
fairly well-to-do, were terror-stricken
at the thought of living on the bounty
of the county. When the poorhouse
wagon came and took their furniture
and their • meager belongings they
pleaded to be allowed to spend one
more night in their own home. That
night they gathered what little of
their clothing was left, collected their
few pennies and fled.
Their only idea of their destination
Is that they want to "go somewhere
South." They have no relatives, but
say they have a friend in the “South”
who owns 1 a plantation.
The old people were taken in charge
by Mrs. Payne ana Mr. Griffin anu
made as comfortable as possible for
the night. They were still at the
Terminal Station at an early hour
Tuesday morning, and It has not yet
been determined what will be done
with them. They say they are willing
to go anywhere except to a poorhouse

Long Course Record
NEW YORK, July 29.—The steamer
Kronprinzessin Cecelie. which arrived
to-day from Bremen and other ports,
made' a record run of five days, four
teen hours and twenty-four minutes
jver the long course. The vessel main
tained an average speed of 23.40 knots
Her best day’s run was 603 miles.
This is the fastest time and best aver-
ige speed made by any westbound Ger

There’s at least one girl worker in
The Georgian’s Want Ad Contest who
is going to be a real business woman
aome day. She is a live wire.
She walked up Oak street In West
End, planning a call on a friend. As
she passe*! Ashby street she saw a
negro woman with a telescope grip
In one hand and a bundle in the other,
leaving a house. Miss' Contestant
walked in. rang the bell, and the mis.
tress of the house came to the door.
“I want to find you a new’ cook to
take the place of the one Just quit,”
said Miss Contestant.
The housewife looked puzzled.
“A Georgian Want Ad will do It,”
explained Miss Contestant. ‘‘The
cook will be here -tomorrow.”
And the next morning the house
wife had a choice of four would-be
servant**, brought by one little ad
which cost 20 cents.
A Want Ad in The Sunday Ameri
can or The Georgian will find almost
any want, as Atlanta readers have
learned by experience. Contestants
in the race for an automobile, a piano,
a trip to California and other prizes
are learning how to suggest want ads.
and almost every person they ap
proach finds a need he hadn’t thought
of before. And the Want Ad way is
the quickest way on earth to get re
sults.
Friends Of the contestants may
send their want ads direct to the of
fice if they like, requesting that their
votes be cast for any contestant they
desire to name. Somebody is going
to win a handsome prize, and your
friend might as well be the winner.
COTTON MARKET
NEW YORK. July 29.—Because the
weather map failed to show any mois
ture in Texas or indications that any
would be expected in the near future,
cotton this morning opened steady,
with first prices ut a net advance of 3
to 6 points higher than Monday’s final.
Sentiment was less bearish, and quite
an active covering movement devel
oped at the start. Later the market
eased off sharply in response to active
selling by the uptown crowd and Wail
Street brokers, Declines aggregated
3 to 5 points from the initial level, or
practically unchanged from the pre
vious close.
The trade witnessed a repetition of
the sensational flurry in July during
the forenoon, when sudden liquidation
prevailed. This option dropped from
11.85 to 11.71, "nothing between," and
immediately jumped back to the for
mer quotation, "nothing between, ’
and increased its gain to 11.94. The
phenomenal strength and activity in
that option, as well as other posi
tions, was attributed chiefly to heavy
absorption by large spot houses, and
covering short commitments by recent
sellers, coupled with a Liverpool ca
ble saying offerings were light and
sohrts running to cover. Advances in
other positions aggregated 2 to 9
points over the previous close witnin
the first two hours.

consider lines for spring delivery IQ a
conservative way.
"Crop conditions inspire confidence in

"Collections continue about normal.
"A healthful tendency is noted in
that there is an increasing demand for
tlie better grades of merchandise.
"The steady, normal volume of dally

Nell pros., of London, in their latest

of American cotton for the present

lic the latter part of October, 1912.

flopping around.

The change is the attftude of the

consequence. probably because crop
conditions as a whole are considered
excellent.
An increased trade demand for con

The New York Journal of Commerce
has the following on the condition cf
the cotton crops in Tennessee, Louisi
ana and Arkansas:
"Tennessee—Prospects for cotton are
better than for many years. The plant
Is strong and well fruited, with a good
stand and free from insects. Fields
are clean and well cultivated. A few
localities are needing rain, but as a
rule precipitation has been ample. Per
centage condition Is considerably high
er than a month ago, when it was 82.7.
The sason is about normal, though
some correspondents report it earlier
than usual.
"Louisiana—Owing to drouth and the
almost universal presence of the boll
weevil, percentage condition appears to
have lost a few points from last month,
when it was 80.6, but the prospects are
better than a year ago, when condi
tion was 74.7. Otherwise, prospects
for a large crop are excellent and the
outturn repends largely upon the suc
cess of the fight against the boll
weevil. The plant Is strong and healthy,
with a fair stand And good fruitage.
"Arkansas—Cotton has maintained
its rather high percentage condition of
a month ago. when it was 85.4 and
77.7 a year ago. The plant is of good
size, with fair stands and fruiting rath
er heavily. Cultivation and condition
of the fields are unusually fine and a
number of correspondents look for the
biggest crop in years. The only draw
back has been the hot dry weather,
which has checked growth and fruit
ing. Damage from boll weevil is very
slight and the crop is very free from
other insect pests."

The New r Orleans Times-Democrat
says: "Monday's cotton market had
digested reports showing continued dry
weather in Central Texas, which pro
duces the bulk of the crop of the Lone
Star State. It also had to discount
the market effect of probable higher
temperatures in that section. Hence
the steady tone ond higher range in
values. The talent is fully aware of
the fact that rain relief did not reach
North and West Texas in time to
figure in the data gathered on July
25 for the government crop condition
report, which will be promulgated on
August 1. It is also convinced that
the official instructions to government
agents to watch out for weevil damage
will result in some Bureau utteranues
that will aid the bulls rather than the
bears.
"Under the Circumstances the rings
were inclined to think the decline had
gone far enough for the present, and
that a moderate upward reaction was
in order. Meanwhile, optimistic opin
ions as to the crop promise reach the
rings in numbers every day. On the
other hand, Texas is not offering new
crop cotton in anything like the volume
usual at this time of year, and expor
ters are beginning to believe that Texas
contribution of new cotton during
August will be comparatively small,
probably very much smaller than that
of last year, according to one of them
In normal seasons this is the time when
consumers and Importers In America
sell specific grades and weights in vol
ume for delivery in October. December.
January and March. Such business, of
course, generally trading in contracts.,
with the speculator supplying the dlf
ferepce between the long and the short
hedges required by the trade.”

GRAIN MARKET
I'HK’AGO, July 29.—Corn was the
leader in activity, ^s well as strength,
at the opening of the grain market to
day. The continued absence of rain
in the corn belt and the addition'll
claims of further and marked de
terioration were the leading bullish
influences, which drove many shorts
to cover and developed an investment
demand.
It was said that .the losses in the
corn belt were pronounced in many
sections.
Wheat was lower on increased of
ferings and a general bearish condi
tion.
oats were higher on poor threshing
returns.
Provisions were a shade higher.

Grain Notes
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: "The
situation in wheat as viewed by most
traders is regarded as discouraging to
holders, the movement being large, and
the speculative and export demand
yesterday being light. Corn specialists
say that the next three weeks will tell
the story m' the crop. It is the gen
eral belief that the brilliant prospects
of thirty days ago have disappeared.
A large part of the crop is at the
critical stage, and it depends extirely
upon the weather, as to how the crop
will come through.*’

Bartlett, Frazier Co says: ‘‘Wheat —
Weather in the Northwest generally
clear with seasonable temperatures.
The tone of the market is heavy and
looks lower.
"Corn—The map shows no rain in the
corn belt and very high temperatures
prevailed yesterday in all territories
west of the river. As long as present
weather conditions prevail higher prices
seem inevitable.
"Oats—We believe the market will
gradually work higher.
"Provisions—Foreigners buyers of
lard. The continued strength in corn
adds to the general firmness.”
Omaha reports no rain in Nebraska.
Generally el^ar over the State. Winni
peg clear. 60; Duluth clear, 40; Glen-
wood clear; Bismark clear. 70; Kansas
City says corn and wheat bulletin shows
no rain.

STOCK GOSSIP
T. D. Potter says: "The market has
every anpearancf of going higher and
stocks like Union Pacific, Reading.
Steel and Copper should be bought on
every recession.
"1 believe another effort to secure
higher freight rates will be successful.
Steel earnings for quarter published to
day will probably show $38,250,000 This
will be bullish and should have a stimu
lating effect on prices.”

The New Yhrk Financial Bureau
says: "Speculative sentiment is better
in the foreign markets. Information
channels favor purchase of Standard
stocks on reactions for turns. We
would not climb for stocks, but would
buy conservatively on fair reactions for
moderate profits.”
