Miss Clara Belle Griffin, the Na
tional Pencil Factory girl whose
strange disappearance from her home
at No. 265 North Ashby street led
the police to fear another Phagan
mystery, was found by her brother
Tuesday noon at Grady Hospital,
where she explained her failure to re
turn home Monday a/ternoon.
She said that she went to the pen
cil factory Monday morning, but that
she became faint soon after arriving
there and went to the hospital, where
s»he had received treatment before.
She was ill all day, she said, and that
was the reason her relatives had not
been informed of the reason for her
disappearance.
Following close on the tragedy of
which Mary Phagan was the victim
at the pencil factory, Miss Griffin's
unaccountable disappearance spurred
the police to an immediate Investiga
tion After making inquiries of all
her friends and acquaintances, the
detectives decided upon a thorough
search of the pencil factory.
Detectives Black and Bullard went
to the factory and were about to be
gin their search when the news came
that the girl had been found at the
hospital safe and sound.
Relatives Are Frantic.
Miss Griffin lives with her mother
and her brother, Louis A. Griffin,
at the Ashby street address. They
were frantic when she failed to re-
turn home Monday night. She had
left in the morning at 6:30 o’clock,
.saving 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 general
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 factory.
The police were notified Monday
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 made
rigid inquiry in regard to the where
abouts of his sister,
Darley, thfe general manager, and
E. F. Holloway, the day watchman,
told him that no one had been work
ing there Monday, on account of its
being Labor Day, and that it was pre
posterous to suppose that the girl
could have been at the factory.
Detectives Begin Search,
Griffln, however, was extremely
fearful that his 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 she was.
When no trace of the girl had been
found by 11 o'clock Tuesday. Chief of
Detectives Lanford began to believe
that the fears of the brother might bo
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
ment where the body of Mary Phagan
was found the morning of April 27.
The two detectives were at the fac
tory when Louis Griffln 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 told that
she was not there.

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 to 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 than 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 moat unfavorable to the Texas
and Oklahoma cotton. At noon, 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 Hash
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 Below Average.
The average August condition for
the ten years from 1903 through 1912
was 74.7. For July, the ten-year con
dition average \vas 80. 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 crop. 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 ttfat yea* was ideal for the
crop. This year the drouth in Texa^
and Oklahoma remains unbroken to
date, a week after tlie date of the
Census Bureau report.
The condition in the various cotton-
growing States follows:

Atlanta Holds Own
!As Cotton Center.
Cotton received at Atlanta for the
8eas<n ended September 1 amounted to
200,000 hales, in round figures, compared
to 350,OeO for 1911, which was the bump
er crop year
Every indication points to a large
crop in Georgia this year, and conse
quent heavy receipts in this city. At
lanta, according to those in the trade,
is holding its own as a cotton center.
There is considerable business in cotton
compressed here in transit, but the
amount sent here direct also is large.

PONCE *DE LEON BALL PARK,
Sept. 2.— The first game of the crucial
series between the Gulls an<l Crackers
went to the locals, 4 to 1, this afternoon.
Ah a result, Smith’s men are now but

To Gi-bert Price most of the credit
is due. The Cracker southpaw hurled
one of the greatest games of his career,
and was master of the situation at all
times. Cavet, on the slab for Mobile,
was strong at the start, but weakened
as the game grew older. The fierce
strain proved too much for him.
The locals broke the ice In the sixth
inning by scoring two runs. They fol-
lof/ed with two more in the seventh.
Timely bits by Joe Agler, Wallie Smith
and Harry Welchonce helped the home
boys pile up their runs. Joe's wallop
was good for three liases. It was a
great victory, and the Crackers played
me champions.
