Experts Say Country Will Have
Worst Shortage of Beef in
Its History.
NEW YORK, Aug. 18—Th1» coun-
try will experience next winter the
greatest shortage of beef In Its his
tory. Price*, which already have ad
vanced 25 to 50 per cent in a year,
are to be 10 to 13 per cent higher
by January 1. Meat will sell at un
heard of figures.
The representative of a big packer
in Chicago wild yesterday: "Forty
cents a pound for the choice cuts
seem a certainty, 45 cents in a prob
ability. and even 50 cents a possibility
before spring."
George L McCarthy, proprietor of
The National Provisional said to
day that the stock population in the
United States is more depleted at
present than it has been at any pre
vious time in ten years. That in itself,
Mr. McCarthy said, is sufficient cause
for very high retail prices But the
drought in Kansas. Oklahoma and the
Southwest has aggravated the sltua
tion bad before, till it may now be
called alarming.
Sky-High Price* by Midwinter.
The expert buyer for Richard Web
ber, a butcher with an extensive busl
ness in New York, didn’t hesitate to
say that price* are going sky-high by
midwinter. The average price paid
by the laborer for beef to-day. he
said, is 16 cent* a pound. The same
cuts will cost 18 cent* or more in a
few month*
The sAme authority predicted tha\
the average price of sirloin steaks
will creep up 3 cent* In as many
months, while fhe average price of
porterhouse steaks will advance 4 to

New Boll Worm
Invades Carolina
GREENVILLE, 3. C., Aug. 18.—
From Dunklin Township, in this
county, come alarming reports of the
invasion In that section of a small
worm which is said to ->e playing
havoc by devouring cotton boll*.
l^arge fields of cotton, it is said, are
Infested with the worm, and the farm
ers are greatly exercised. They are
unable to account for the presence
of the worms, and they say they are
the first of the kind ever seen In this
section.
The worms are rapidly spreading
over the lower section of the coun
ty, and it is feared that unless some
thing is quickly done to stop the rav
ages of the pest the cro^ in that
section will be seriousl” damaged.
Underwood Urged to

BIRMINGHAM. Aug. 18.—Friends

5 cents in the same period.
The corn-killing drought in Kanwi*
and neighboring States ha* deprived
the rattle-ralalng sections of feexl for
their atock. Fodder remain*, but the
corn Itself, necessary to fatten the
ateers for market, will have to be
shipped into section* of country
naturally grain exporters, at an ex
pense that will preclude the idea of
satisfactory profit by cattle raisers at
anything near the present prices.
For ten days a steady ru*h of cat
tle to the big stock markets of the
Middle West has been in progress
The raisers can’t afford to hold and
feed the cattle. In many Instance*,
cows are being sent to market in »uch
number* that the generation of calves
due next spring will be muoh lea* than
the average.
Rushed to the Slaughter Houses.
Cattle receipts in the Western mar
kets first ro*e above the normal when
the hot weather killed the pasturage
Carload after carload of steers went
to Chicago and Kansas City. The
general movement to the slaughter
housee 1* still in progress. In the
first three days of the present week
129,000 cattle were received at th«
Western markets, nearly as many a»
in the entire week a year ago
The same condition to a certain ex
tent holds true in the hog market, and
receipts have been nearly doubled
since the drought.
The general situation is about a*
bad In the East. Mr. McCarthy mid
that farmers over a great part of the
East are selling cattle Just now that
they would be holding had the hay
crop been up to the standard
Live stock prices are naturally
slumping while the markets are load
ed with stock. But in spite of the
fact that steers and hogs are costing
the packers less than at any time
for several months no reduction in the
wholesale price of meats is an
nounoed, and the housewife has ob
tained no benefits because of the pres
ent abnormal conditions in the mar
ket*.
The drought, according to stock
men, will result in Immense profits for
the packers because of their abilit>
to buy now and when the cattle
raisers are at a disadvantage and to
set price* this winter when there in
a scarcity in the cattle receipts.

Their Knowledge of Hus

Manager George of the Atlanta
Announces List—Season Opens
With Musical Show Sept. 3.
• SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 18.—In-
terest in the trial of Maury I. Digg*
on the charge of violating the white
slave law will be given fresh Impetus*
to-morrow, when Mrs. Diggs and the
wife of F. Drew Caminettl will take
the stand as witnesses for the de
fense.
Mrs. Diggs, who 1s a handsome,
dark-eyed woman, was expected to
be called as the first witness. Last
Friday she appeared in court with
her young daughter, Evelyn, and was
one of the most observed persons
that sat facing the bench presided
over by Federal Judge Van Fleet.
Mrs. Diggs and Mrs Caminettl will
be asked by the defense to tell of
their knowledge of the relations be
tween their husbands and Marsha
Warrington and Ix>la Norris.
It is the contention of the attor
neys for the defense that one of the
reasons for the flight of Diggs and
Caminettl to Reno with the two girls
whs that they believed their wives
were about to have them prosecuted
by the officials of the Juvenile court
of Sacramento. It is maintained by
the defense that Mrs. Caminettl told
her husband that she had complained
to Judge Hughes, of the Juvenile
court of Sacramento, about Diggs
and Caminettl in an effort to Induce
them to sever their relations with
Mias Warrington and Miss Norris.
The Government contends that
Diggs and Caminettl were reckless
debauchers who had decided to go
to Reno to desert their wives and
Induce the girls to lead Immoral lives,
n violation of the Mann act.
Promoter in Jail,
Oil Wells Are Idle
GADSDEN, Aug. 18.—The convic
tion of E. C. Drew, the Fort Payne
oil well promoter, will, it is believed,
bring to a close the drilling for oil
in DeKalb County.
Nobody appeared to have much
faith in oil being found there except
Drew. With five years in the peni
tentiary confronting him. Drew still
contends that he will continue his
drilling and that eventually he will
find oil. But. no matter whether oil Is
found or not. Drew is held guilty «,f
using the mails to defraud, first be
cause the company in which he
sought to sell stock was not regular
ly organized and second because he
applied the money to other purposes
than that for which it was intended.
Patten, Again in Pit,
Cleans Up $500,000
CHICAGO. Aug. 18.—James A. Pat
ten, whose deals in grain and cotton
in the last decade have attracted
world-wide attention, is once more
the central figure in a speculation that
Is causing the com pit on the Board
of Trade to boil with excitement.
Mr. Patten started to buy corn
three weeks ago, when the first re
ports that hot weather and drought
were damaging the crop began to
come in. His paper profits at the
present time are said to be at least
8500,000.
‘Cattle Queen’ Freed
Leases All ‘Movies'
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLO.,
Aug. 18.—In celebration of her acquit
tal on the charge of "rustling” cattle
Anna Bernard, known as the "Cat
tle Queen,” leased all the moving
picture houses in the town for the
night and treated her friends to
screened thrills.
The first harbinger of the new the
atrical season has reached Atlanta in
the person of Homer C. George, man
ager of the Atlanta Theater. Re
turning from his vacation, he stopped
by the New York office of Klaw & Er-
langer and crowded his grip with
news of corning shows. The Shuberts
and the Frohmans will be well rep
resented.
The attractive playhouse will open
with a predominance of musical shows
as usual. According to Mr. George,
the first breaths of fall that come with
September nights are not sufficiently
bracing for anything “heavy,” and the
first productions will be bright and
breezy.
"Mary’s Lamb” will be the opener,
September 3. "Little Miss Fix-it,”
“who” caused much talk in New York,
will be the second, and “The Merry
Countess," one of the big hits of the
Shuberts, will come third. An early
big attraction will be Otis Harlan in
a Savage production of "Little Boy
Blue.”
Favorite* Are Coming.
In the galaxy of stars who are to
perform to Atlanta audiences Mr.
George points out a number of new
ones to the South. Of course many
favorites will return. To the trained
theatergoer no announcement could
produce a keener thrill than the state
ment that Rose Stahl, who delighted
wo many In the "Chorus Lady,” will
come early In her new play, "Maggie
Pepper,” and that William Faversham
will appear In an all-star cast of
"Juliu* Caesar.”
But to take them as they come—Mr.
George announces the tentative pro
gram in this wise:
Miss Annie Russell, three nights,
the minstrels of A1 G. Field, followed
n. month later by a reunion of the
Dockstader and Primrose shows. In
l.l come "Hone
George Evans and then Nell O Brien.
Big Scenic Piay*.
May Irwin is coming in November
with her big Cohan Theater success
of last season. Robert Hilliard will
appear as Detective William J. Burn*
in a thrilling drama. Early in De
cember Klaw & Erlanger will pre
sent that wonderful scenic play, “Ben
Hur,” for a week.
"Fine Feather*,” a new Eugene
Walters success, will be here in De
cember, as well as the memorial
players from Stratford-on-Avon, pro
ducing the drama as it was in Shake
speare’s time.
And fascinating Mme. Nazimova is
coming in "Bella Donna,” and the
wonderful Mme. Pavlowa, the Russian
dancer, with "her special permit from
the Czar" to leave that country.
Henry Miller is coming in “The
Rainbow” and Otis Skinner in “Kis
met,” said to be his greatest suc
cess.
And one of the most important of
all the announcements is that the un
usual play, “I>amaged Goods,” by the
famous French dramatist, Briex, will
be shown. It probably created more
comment than any play presented in
New York last season, its first pro
duction being semi-private, under
the auspice* of a medical organiza
tion.
Other popular plays booked are:
"Within the Law,” "Ready Mon
ey," "Romance,” "Peg o’ My Heart,”
"The Conspiracy,” “Little Women,”
"Blue Bird,” "The Girl of My
Dreams," "Broadway Jones,” "The
Governor's Lady,” "Stop Thief,’’ and
others.

delicious as it was when it came
from the oven.

SAYS EXPERT
BIG CAMP MEETING CLOSES.
JACKSON, Aug. 18.—Sunday night
marked the closing session of the In-
' dian Springs Holiness camp meeting,
and w’hat was generally declared to
} have been the most successful meet
ing in the history of the association.
With three negroes killed and a
fourth seriously wounded in free-for-
all cutting scrapes Sunday, twenty
negroes are under arrest at police
headquarters, two charged with mur
der and the remainder charged with
fighting, frequenting blind tigers, and
a host of misdemeanors.
The two against whom the charge
of murder hps been placed are B. C.
Smith and Ed Smith, alias Ed Camp
bell. The third murderer, who is still
at large, is said by the police to be
Phoney Johnson, a negro desperado
with a long police record.
Ed Smith, while resisting arrest
after shooting Peter Jackson at 72
James street, was shot in the hand by
Officer Palmer. B. C. Smith was cap
tured after a hard chase by Officers
Davis and Fielder and Louis Castro.
Most of the trouble started in blind
tigers throughout the city. Johnson,
after getting drunk, went to the home
of Munch Harris, 282 Butler street,
and stabbed him to death. B. C.
Smith killed John Henry Wllkerson
at 80 Decatur street about 4 o’clock in
the afternoon, and half an hour later
Peter Jackson was shot by Ed Smith.
DENVER, Aug. 18.—Wilbur F.
Cannon, former pure food commis
sioner. has rushed to the defense of
the X-ray and slit skirts with these
five reasons:
The X-ray and slit skirts permit
circulation of air about the body.
The absence of many underskirts
relieves the strain on the hip3 and
prevents kidney trouble.
Absence of the usual amount of
clothes makes frequent bathing nec
essary and frequent bathing opens
the pores and makes the bath quite
healthy.
Absence of many clothes makes the
body movement freer, thus saving en
ergy.
There is less labor required in the
care of clothes, such as washing,
ironing and mending.
VOTE ON COURT CHANGE.
JACKSON, Aug. 18.—The City
Court of Jackson w r as amended by
the last session of the general as
sembly, subject to a ratification of
the people. The matter will be voted
on September 3. As amended, the
Solicitor will receive a salary instead
of fees.

that it will restore every’ one to perfect health,

, ed Kckman's Alterative to me very highly.
It is now nearly two years since I first took
I it. I am now well and I dare say that I
would have been burled long ago if it had
i not been for Eckmen’s Alterative. I wish to
Uiank you for the Godsend to me. Wherever
I go I highly recommend the Alterative, as I
' owe my life to it.”
