ATT A VTA OFfTRfJTAN A\T> \ T FW<3 PROSPERITY FOR STATE CROP ROOD. PRICES RICH 16 MORE SEPTEMBER MORNS AT PIEDMONT MISS FRANCES SMITH. II. S, The aun is shining prosperity all over .Georgia to-day. The Government report, which ent the price of cotton up $3.50 a bale, ehows that the crop in this State is in much better condition that it wan last year, and that the harvest will yield Georgia more than $5,000,000 more than in 1912. Cotton in Georgia did not deterio rate even one-tenth of a *>oint from July 25 to August 25, according to the Census Bureau estimate of condition. North Carolina and South Carolina gained 1 and 2 points, respectively; Florida lost but 1 point in condition With these exception. 6 ', every State in tiie cotton belt recorded serious de preciation in the condition of the growing staple, the losses ranging from 4 poinls for the relatively unim- po-tant area in California to 38 points for Oklahoma. Texas, the greates’ cotton State, is 17 points off. The central belt shows insect ravages. In the West is drouth. Mill® Seeking New Crop. Spot cotton rules now above 12 cents. The world’s mills are supposed to have u°»ed 750,000 more bales last year than the world’s Held*' grew. This must nave reduced the cotton left over from 1911, the banner 18,000,- 000-bale crop year, to almost nothing. Those who are keenest in watching the cotton trade already see signs the t the mills in America and abroad al ready are in the market for the new crop. These are the arguments which point to sustained high prices for cot ton. Georgia last year had a short cottor. j crop, while Texas produced an enor mous yield. This year Texas banks are overflowing with money. ‘Many of them are going through this au- 1 tumn without borrowing from New | York, for the first time, they say, in j twenty years. Many of them, in fact, have loaned funds in New York at this period of tight money. That's w'hat a big crop and high prices do for a favored State. That is what Georgia financiers look forward to hopefully. Crop Going to “Pay Out.” What Georgia needed this year. abfA'o all things, whs a good crop at fair prices. Obligations are hanging over from the previous season. There was tight money this year. This crop has to "pay out.” Everyone realized this, and the discouraging early spring brought general gloom. All this now is changed. Trade already reflect 6 ' the optimism born of good crop pros pects. The crop never was grown with less expense. Even 12-cent cotton will show good profits, and just now it looks as if 13 and a fraction is a prlc for middlings not beyond possibility.

She swam three miles with out geting out of the water, break ing all records, and then came out of the lake as fresh and as rosy as when she went in.

Secret Inquest Begun Into New Haven Tragedy — Engineer and Flagman Held. Continued from Page 1. fore Labor Day that many extra trains were being put on to accom modate the heavy traffic and all the details of these special schedules will be demanded by the investigators Meanwhile the railroad officials, Coroner and Engineer Elwell have been hearing the stories of the rail road men who are tentatively held responsible for the disaster. Engineer Miller and Flagman Murray. Accord ing to their statement, the Bar Har bor express had passed Into the block past the banjo signals, which would have warned the Whit© Mountain express 3 miles back, had it been set. Sixty-Mile Speed Charged. The Bar Harbor express stopped just outside the signal, but later started again and calling in the flag man, gave the succeeding train the right of way over 3 miles of track, which, under 60-mile headway, which many passengers say was the speed of the train, would have brought it to the scene of the collision in just three minutes, not enough time to permit the preceding train to get out of the way. Flagman Murray’s signals were un doubtedly set, but they were abso lutely useless, according to the testi mony, as the approaching train was already bearing down upon him with in the block, even as he set hi.s tor pedoes. The charge tentatively laid against him is that he failed to set off a coston signal, as it is claimed was his duty in the fog that pre vailed. Say Engineer Was Warned. That Engineer Miller received warning that he was closely follow ing the Bar Harbor train at Meriden, miles beyond the scene of the acci dent, is the evidence of C. J. Dana- her, a lawyer of that city, who yes terday told of hearing the two trains pass his home and hearing the White Mountain express explode two tor pedoes of warning. The evidence of L. G. Morse, of Chicago, a passenger* on the Bar Har bor express, is a severe arraignment of tlie trainmen in charge of that train. Mr. Morse says emphatically that the brakes on the Bar Harbor express were set at the time the wreck occurred. Having been a brakeman on the Boston and Maine Railroad at one time, he lost no time when the train stopped in getting off to see what was the cause of the stop. Passenger Accuses Brakeman. At this time he says he saw the brakeman. who, he supposed, was flagman, standing at about the thir teenth car on the train whistling and tossing pebbles into the bushes be side the track. He walked toward the engine and had taken but a few' steps w’hen he heard the cra-ck of tw’o torpedoes followed almost immediate ly by the crash. The grinding of the huge locomotive throfigh the cars was followed by the screams of the dying and wounded. “The torpedoes were entirely too near the train to have given any ade quate warning of danger,” said Mr. Morse. “The brakeman should have gone back to signal the following Columbus Officer Who Killed Youth Over Fifty-Cent Debt To Be Heard September 19. COLUMBUS, Sept. 3.—The hearing of Bailiff Robert W. Willis, for. kill- ing Luther Hawkins, a Hapeville youth, whom he was attempting to arrest Friday afternoon on a war rant sworn out by Charles Jordan, a boardinghouse keeper, charging him with beating a 50-cent board bill, was continued late yesterday aft ernoon until September 19, at the request of the attorneys for the de fense. T. Hicks Fort, for the defense, asked the continuance on the grounds that Jordan, principal witness for the defense, was absent; that be cause of the seriousness of the charge against the prisoner, the attorneys had not had time to prepare for the trial; and that public feeling was strong against him. Continuance Opposed. Solicitor General George C. Palm er, representing the State, opposed a continuance on the ground that he would contend the case was one of murder and not bailable; that the father of the slain young man was present, and being a man of moderate means, it worked a hardship on him to attend the trial, and that he, the Solicitor, would be compelled to go to other counties to attend court la ter. Judge Frank D. Foley, City Re corder. who presided, after hearing the statements on both sides, decided to continue the case. The court room was crowded with eager spec tators. who gathered to see what dis position would be made of the case, which has attracted Statewide at tention. because of the smallness of the offense for which the man was killed, accidentally, the defense claims. Willis III at Ease. Willis appeared in -the courtroom ill at ease. H<* continually worked his hands, showing every look of a man In a very nervous state and kept his eyes glued to the floor, paying but little attention to those about him. His face was covered with a shaggy growth of beard, and he seemed to have aged considerably since he was incarcerated Friday night. The killing of Young Hawkins, whether accidental or not. is still strongly condemned, it being the gen eral opinion that Willis, as an of ficer. had no authority for even try ing to frighten a prisoner wanted for a misdemeanor offense, by drawing a revolver. CHORUS MAN FOUND DEAD. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Russell Summerville, aged 22, a member of the chorus of a musical show, was found dead to-day in his apartments.

Mr. Morse was also emphatic in his criticism of the construction of the cars. Attacks Car Structure. “Mr. Mellen testified before the In terstate Commerce Commission,” he said, “that all the trains were equip ped with steel I beams. On our train there was not a single I beam.” President Howard Elliott, whose ghastly introduction to the manage ment of the New Haven road, has given him a careworn look, declines to add to his statement that every ef fort would be made to give the public every detail of evidence as the facts were developed.

Pilcher, of the Third Ward, has gone before City Council with a reso lution providing that a committee be appointed to investigate the cost of erecting a municipal lighting plant.
