REPORTS
WASHINGTON. Sept. 2.—The con
dition of the cotton crop over the
entire belt averaged 68.2 on August
25, the lowest condition of that date
recorded since 1909, according to the
estimate of the United States Cen
sus Bureau, announced at noon to
day.
Reports of continued drouth and
high temperatures in Texas and Ok
lahoma had made it apparent Jo the
trade that there Would be heavy de
preciation from the July condition of
79.6. but the most pessimistic private
authorities had looked for a condition
of not worse that! 69.6 and the pri
vate estimates ranged from this fig
ure to 70.6.
The decline in the condition of cot
ton for the month is 11.4 points. In
August, 1909, a condition of 63.7 was
recorded, and In August. 1902, the
condition was 64.0. In August, 1900,
the condition also was 68.2.
Rise Starts at Opening.
Cotton futures in New York were
strong today. Shorts were fearing an
extremely bullish report and the
weather during the three days that
the exchange had been closed has
been most unfavorable to the Texas
and Oklahoma cotton. At nuon. when
the trading came to a standstill to
await the flash of the government
figures, quotations were from 19 to
33 points over Friday’s close, with
January options standing at 12.44
cents. Fifteen minutes after the flash
January touched 12.53, May 12.71.
At the close October sold at 12.95,
December at 12.98 and January at
12.80—advances of 68, 73 , and 71
points, respectively.
Far B-low Average.
The average August conditioh for
the ten years from 19i)3 through 1912
was 74.7. For July, the ten-year con
dition average was 8U. The ten-year
average decline in condition, there
fore, has' been 6.4 points, compared to
11.4 points this year.
Once, with a low August condition
figure, there was a big drop. This
was In 1911, when tlie August figures
were 73.2. It now is suspected that
the government made an error in
computing the average that year, and
besides, the weather during the lat
ter part of August and all of Sep
tember that yea* was ideal for the
crop. This year the drouth in Texas
and Oklahoma remains unbroken to
date, a week after the date >jf the
Census Bureau report.

growing States follows;

BOY ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
GRIFFIN. Sept. 2 Milton Alton,
about 10 years old, was accidentally
shot by Oscar Dameron, young son
of the Rev. J.,T. Dameron, formerly
of Atlanta, an they boys were care
lessly handling a 22-caHVr rifle The
shot took effect In Alton's left arm.
LUIRS DIXIE
THE WEATHER.
Forecast for Atlanta and
Georgia—Probably fair Tues
day and Wednesday.
Atlanta women are not as bad
as New York women.
The devil would hardly enjoy a
walk along Peachtree as well as
lie would along Broadway.
And, even at this, the morals of
New York now are apparently
better than ever before.
The women who a fleet the ex
treme style of few clothes are but
a coterie of rapid ones w ho do not
in any way represent the great
bulk of American women.
Thus spoke Dr. Len O. Broughton,
who arrived in Atlanta Tuesday
morning. Twenty-seven pounds heav
ier than he was when residing in At
lanta, and just as ready as ever to
fight the devil, the noted divine talked
Interestingly to a Georgian reporter,
and sprang to the defense of South
ern women.
In contrast, though, he declared
London to be the most remarkably
moral city in the world, doubly so
when considering its immense popu
lation.
“Moral Conditions Better.'*
"But- 1 can nut help believing Uuu
moral conditions generally are bet
ter,” be said. "New York is the gay
est at this time that I have ever seen
it. The theaters are just opening their
season, and the theatrical hotels are
wonderfully lively. It l a around these
places that the extreme in feminine
attire is to be seen, where the few
trimmings and abandonment of mod
esty must indeed bring Joy to the
| devil. But this class of women should
not be taken as representative of the
true American women.
'It is true that the European idea
of the American women is that the
feminine sex here are extremists in
the matter of dress, and Judging by
the general class of American women
visiting Europe, the Europeans ’can
not be blamed for forming such an
opinion. The slit skirt, shadow dress
and the other styles of dress, or lack
of dress, can hardly he other than the
devil’s own Invention.”
Silent on Vice Situation.
Dr. Broughton did not care to ex
press himself upon Atlanta’s vice sit
uation.
“I have not been here since Chief
Beavers began his crusade, and there
fore am not in a position to express
any opinion on it. But 1 will say this
for Chief Beavers: 1 have known him
for many yours, and there wue never
a cleaner or more upright gentleman,
and I do not think a mistake could be
made In trusting him. As to any
| light against him, I do not believe
j the people of Atlanta would turn him
, down.
t “Atlanta is a fairly good town
morally, in fact, I think the condi-
| tion of the world's morula is gradu-
j ally improving. In Now York, for in-
j stance, ies* drinking and other dissi-
I pa tion is to be noticed in public. Of
| course, it Is impossible to judge of
] What is going ui behind the doors, but
to all appearances the town generally
is,improving. I believe London is the
must moral big city In the world.
Puzzled by Interviews.
“The newspaper boys in Now York
had quite a good deal of fun out of
me and my remarks of Women's at
tire was commented upon in a waj
to make me wonder if I hud really
said all of the things credited to me.
But I suppose it is all in the game
and that news was dull. In the very
fast newspaper game I suppose some
, of the reporters think It Is all right
to overstep or understep things.”
Dr. Broughton is Just a little afraid
that the London suffragettes may get
after him when he gets back to Lon
don. He also said that the condi
tions there are as had as reported.
J and that If it had not been for the
actions of the militant, suffragettes
that England would have granted the
women there (he use of the ballot a
year ago.
Fears Militant's Anger,
“Since I have been In America I
have had reports that the suffragettes
are attacking churches In London,

detectives decided upon a thorough
search of the pencil factory,
j Detectives Black and Bullard went
j to the factory and were about to be

Relatives Are Frantic.
Miss Griffin lives with her mother
and her brother. Louis A. Griffin
at the Ashby streec address. They
were frantic when she failed to re
turn home Monday night. She had
left In the morning at 6:30 o’clock,
saying that she had some work to do
that would keep her at the factory
until about noon. She informed her
mother that N. V. Darley, the genera
manager, had told her that she would
have to work only the half day.
The apprehension of her relatives
was increased by the fact that Mon
day, like the day on which Mary Pha
gan was slain, was a holiday, when
only a few persons would be around
the faMory.
The police were notified Monda\
night, and inquiry was made at the
home of girl acquaintances, where it
was thought she might stay over
night. This investigation bringing no
result, Detective Bass Rosser was as
signed to the case Tuesday morning
and was instructed to spare no effort
to locate the missing girl.
The girl’s brother, who is a ma
chinist at the Gate City Coffee Com
pany, visited the pencil factory the
first thing in the morning and ma.i«
rigid inquiry in regard to the where
abouts of his sister.
Darley, the general manager, ant 1
E. F. Holloway, the day watchman
told him that no one had been work
ing there Monday, on account of Un
being Labor Day, and that it waa pre
posterous to suppose that the gir
could have been at the factory.
Detectives Begin Search.
Griffin, however, waa extremel>
fearful that hi* sister had met a fate
similar to that of Mary Phagan, from
the fact that she never had stayed
away from home at night and never
had been absent from home any
length of time unless her mother knew
exactly where sha was.
When no trace of th% girl had been
found by 11 o’clock Tuesday, Chief of
Detectives Lanford began to believe
that the fears of the brother might be
well founded, and placed Detectives
Bullard and Black on the case, with
orders to make a search of the pencil
| factory from top floor to the base
! merit where the body of Mary Phagan
, was found the morning of April 27.
The tw'o detectives were at the fac
tory when Louis Griffin called up by
telephone, saying that he had found
his sister in Gradv Hospital. He had
called there previously, but there had
been a misunderstanding In regard to
the name, and he had been *«)ld tha'
she was not there. ■ )
