C„ Aug 16.—After striking his wife on the head with a beer bottle fracturing her skull and causing her death, George S. Nance, whose home is said to be in Macon, X. C., saturated her clothing with ker osene and set fire to the body, in their room at a local hotel yesterday. Attendants, attracted by the smoke issuing from the room, rushed in, and found the dead body of the woman in the middle of the room, her clothing almost completely burned, the furni ture blazing and the destruction of the hotel threatened. Nance was found in a room three doors away on the same floor, and after arrest admitted that he had kill ed his wife and set Are to her cloth ing. He said his wife had told him he was crazy and should be in the asylum, and that she was now as crazy as he was. She then seized him by. the throat and choked him, he said and when he freed himself he struck her with the beer bottle, frac turing her skull. Seeing that she was dead, he poured kerosene over her clothing and the furniture and fired the room. The couple arrived in Hami^t yes terday and registered at the hotel, and said they would spend the day there, leaving at night for Norfolk. A receipted bill from a Greenville S. C., firm, addressed to Mrs. George S. Nance, 321 Laurens Street, was found in a handbag. The shoes worn by the woman were purchased in Knoxville, Tenn.

The prisoner was hurried to Rocking ham. In addition to the charge of murder, an arson charge was made against Nance. The .body of Mrs. Nance was de livered to an undertaken, who will hold it subject to instructions. Dried Cantaloupe Is California's Latest LOS ANGELES, Aug. 16.—With the perfection of experiments now going on, California will give to the world another luscious dried fruit—the dried cantaloupe. They will turn into profit some of the millions of small canta loupes left in the fields every year. Thomas D. McCall, of El Centro, accidentally discovered the fine qual ities of the dried article. McCall had dumped a great heap of cantaloupes to one side, several breaking open. These dried and threw out such a fine aroma that McCall was attracted and tasted them. They were excel lent, and now' cantaloupe growers are drying all of their small melons. The dried variety is said to have a much finer flavor than the fresh fruit.

Senator W T agner, leader in the Senate, and Speaker A. E. Smith, of the Assembly, went to Saratoga. Assemblyman Aaron J. Levy, majori ty leader in the Assembly, is hors de combat, being confined to his bed in the Ten Eyck Hotel with nervous prostration brought on by the big political row. Monday’s conference of anti-Sulzer leaders will take steps to reject the nominations of James M. Lynch for State Labor Commissioner, and Charles J. Chase for manager of the Public Service Commission, because they are appointees of Governor Sul- zer. Glynn men will be submitted, according to present plans. The anti- Sulzer plans also provided for Mr. Glynn to send a message to the Legis lature next week in the capacity of acting Governor. Mrs. Sulzer Has Relapse. The strain of leading a fight against his powerful foes is telling in marked fashion upon the Governor. His wor ries are increased by the illness of Mrs. Sulzer, who has suffered a re lapse. Dr. Abrahams, of New York City, reached here early to-day, and hur ried at once to the executive mansion to consult with other doctors. One of the most effective weapons in th e hands of the anti-Sulzer forces now is the authority of the State Comptroller’s office. With the Comp troller lined up with the Glynn forces, vouchers signed by Governor Sulzer will not be honored and salaries of State officers will be held up. COTTON MARKET NEW YORK, Aug. 16.—Reports of half an Inch of rainfall over the Okla homa belt lessened the strong Influence of Liverpool cables to-day, and the cot ton market opened only 2 to 6 points higher than Friday's final, whereas Liv erpool was 4 to 6 points higher. Ordi narily such strength in Liverpool would have caused much higher prices here. There was some unloading on weather reports, but prices were only lowered 2 to 4 points from the opening range. The ring, however, were inclinod to hoU rather freely on rains in Oklahoma and predictions by Kofler, of New Orleans, for more rain in Oklahoma and better prospects for Texas. Offerings were readily absorbed by the leaders who bought yesterday. A sudden short covering movement prevailed during the last hour, based on the Government forecast of fair weather in Oklahoma and Texas over Sunday, resulting in prices recovering the early decline and advancing some 4 to 8 points higher than the initial level. At the close the market was steady with prices at a net adance of 3 to 5 points from the closing quotations of Friday. RANGE fN NEW YORK FUTURES.

He declares that light colors, tend toward godliness and that dark colors promote crime. “Brightness leads to right think ing,” says Judge Mahoney. “Darkness and uncleanliness lead to crooked thinking. This is an axiom as old as the Bible. I am glad to see so many white buildings going up in Chicago They reflect the light and have a stronger psychological effect on the population than Is usually imagined. The smoke nuisance which covers the building with dark soot is an aid to crime.” Diggs Trial Halted; Resume on Tuesday SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.—The participants In the trial of Maury I.

The fall In tem perature is from 10 to 20 degrees. The central and east central part of the State reported rain, while cloudiness was reported from all of the western half of the State, with the exception of the extreme southwestern counties. Oklahoma, Cleveland, Potawatomle, Tulsa, Muskogee. Payne. Creek and Ok mulgee Counties each reported a half inch of rain. Light showers fell at Cleveland.’’ • • • Times-Democrat has following from Dallas: “Crops have not been injured seriously by dry weather, but rains within the next week in most sections of the State to prevent crop losses, accord ing to reports 4o-day from every section of Texas. The weather has played a trick this year by an unusual amount of local rains, which has given one farmer an abundance of. rain and his i lew mi’es away scarcely a drop. Many localities In north and northeast Texas and along Oklahoma border predict 20 per cent deterioration in cotton unless rains come quickly.” * * * MEMPHIS, TENN.. Aug. 16— J. B. Turner crop summary for week ending August 16: “Quite favorable weather for cotton prevailed In the two Caro- linas and Georgia during the week and excellent results were secured In field growth and general development. Show- er« the end of the week were help ful. and another favorable week Is fore casted from the present moisture sup ply. In Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana ome small deterioration is noted, though it Is doubtful If the losses are any greater, if, indeed, as great as those usually occurring at this period when the plant approaches maturity. Shedding is reported, due in most instances to lack of moisture anfi in Louisiana considerably increased boll weevil damage. Tn Texas and Okla homa and over about one-half of Arkan sas heavy losses occurred, and the plant is fast running Into a state of decline that can not be recovered ever with fa vorable weather and abundant rainfall. Permanent and irreparable loss has, however, just begun, except in un favored localities, and if rain comes during next week, in general and heavy fall, great good will be done. Greatest loss has occurred in Oklahoma, but over a large area in these three States the plant shows arrested development and is rapidly losing vitality, and thus can not properly mature the fruit that has been set.” The New Orleans Times-Democrat says: “Again the Government reported only a very few light showers in the western cotton belt, and shorts began to admit to themselves that the drouth has assumed serious proportions. With such admission came a yearning for safety, a demand for contracts and a sharp advance. Dallas reported heavy sales and a spot price gain of >4 of a cent Liverpool’s action indicated some uneasiness among foreign consumers. The local forecaster promised continued fair weather In the west. Under the oiroumstances a higher market was log ical enough. “New crop cotton has begun to swell the movement a little. Nevertheless, the world’s visible snvmlv of- American cot ton decreased 105.000 bales to 1,050,000 hales, as against 1.330,000 on the same datf last year. Galveston expects to re ceive 7 000 hales to-day, which will compare with 7,000 bales last year and 12.325 in 1911. The Times-Democrat will publish in its editions of Monday next, the special reports of its corre spondents covering the condition of the cotton crop up to and including August 12.” Atlanta Markets By CHARLES W.

All of the largest bulls in corn appear confident of their position, and are said to be buying in outside markets as well as in Chicago. “It is the general belief of traders here that the continued drouth and ex cessive heat In Kansas and Oklahoma has practically eliminated their corn crop as a factor, and unless Nebraska gets relief at once the crop north of the Platte will be greatly damaged on top of that already done, which is estimated at more than 25 per cent.” Mistrial in Fourth Feud Slaying Case WINCHESTER, KY., Aug. 16.— For the first time since the trial of the assassins of former Sheriff Ed Callahan, of Breathitt County began, a jury has failed to reach a verdict.

LOWRY NATIONAL BAN It Capital $1,000,000 Surplus $1,000,000 Savings Dprimtnt Safe Deposit Boxes: The climate is such that far mers do not have to house stock during the winter, there being good grazingtheentire year. For raising cattle and stock Georgia offers greater inducements than can be found elsewhere. The soil is suited for almost anything that grows and can be utilized the entire year. The prices at which good farm land can be purchased at present in Georgia are so low that it is a matter of comment—some thinking that the land is not so good as stated. The land is good, but there are thousands of acres that are now lying idle and the good people of Georgia are anxious for good farmers to come among them. Consequently the land is cheaper here than elsewhere.
