IMMEDIATE DELIVERIES OF DRY GOODS WANTED Marshall Field & Co., in their weekly review of the dry goods trswie, says: •Interest in the dry goods trade cen ters principally on immediate busi- less. The extreme hot weather of'the early part of the week interrupted fall business somewhat, but the cooler days following brought a large number of buyers into the market. Road sales show a fair increase over the corre sponding period a year ago. ‘The cotton goods market has been •xclted on account of the advance in the sriot .'1 raw cotton, due to the sever* 1 drouth in certain cotton-growing States as reported by the Government. This, together with the known scarcity of merchandise, is causing retailers to place orders on domestics freely for their current wants.

When the Smoke Commission hears the protest of the apartment house owners against the enforcement xf the smoke laws Tuesday afternoon, the cruicial test in the fight for a cleaner Atlanta will be on. The manufacturing plants, rail roads and office buildings have capit ulated one by one to the reform movement. Except iu a few isolated cases, every downtown furnace will make far less smoke this season than last, the city inspectors say. They point out that there will be no trou ble to handle the obstinate individu als in the Recorder’s Court. Apartment Owners Obstinate. But in the fight to prevent the law from affecting apartment houses many of Atlanta’s most prominent and influential citizens have com bined. They are opposed to spend ing the money it will take to remodel their furnaces. Chairman R. M. Harwell, of the Smoke Commission, declared Mon day that he believed the Commis sion would be strong enough to op pose this influence. He said that smoke abatement in Atlanta was past the experimental stage, but that the apartment houses demanded im mediate attention because they were among the greatest sources of the smoke evil. Little Smoke in Pittsburg. “Persons constantly are referring me to Pittsburg as an example of s failure to abate the smoke nuisance,” he said. An official report from the Pittsburg Smoke Inspector repudiates these reports and says, among other things: “The plain logic of the question is that just as soon as each individual will realize that it is his duty an! that it will work to his own benefit to co-operate in that which will re sult in the greatest possible good to all concerned there will be no more necessity for any anti-smoke ordi nance. “Incidentally, the escape of uncon sumed hydro-carbon means higher coal bills, and the only economical method of getting rid of smoke is to burn it in a furnace properly de signed for the purpose. “The nresent high cost of living has attracted the attention of property owners to economy in fuel consump tion as much as any other economic oroblem.’’ Crusade Started to Curb High waymen’s Activity—Mystery in Shooting of L. H. Britt, The city police and detective de partments turned their attention on Monday to running down hold-up men. a growing menace tp citizens of Atlanta.

Orchard, a West End grocer, was robbed of $200 in cash as he and his wife were walking from his* store to their home on Lee street. The hold-up of L. H. Britt, a farmer residing on rrural route No. 3. and J. C. Rickerson. fixing at No. 160 Metropolitan avenue, in which Britt received a bullet in the left shoulder, is shrouded in mystery. The police have no clew to the assailants. Britt was taken to Grady Hospital. No new arrests have been made in the attempt to hold up C. C. Allen, who was fired upon by highwaymen Saturday night as he and a girl com panion drove in his automobile in front of No. 18 Garnett street, near the young woman’s home-.

Says Administration Candida 1 .? and Friends Are in Plot to Kill Him—Challenges Reply. MACON. Sept. 8.—There is a sen sation here in political circles as the result of the distribution of circulars published by A. L. Dasher, candidate for Mayor, in which he criticises m the strongest terms Mayor John T. Moore, Mayor Pro Tem Ross Bowdre, City Clerk Bridges Smith, who is a candidate for Mayor; Emmet Barnes, a leading Smith worker, and Corne lius O’Connell. The newspapers declined, to handle the letter in any form, ana Mr. Dash er then printed it as a circular. He calls the above-named men “contemptible cowards,” and discusses Mr. Smith in the most personal and scathing terms. His language is grossly libelous if untrue. Mr. Dash er dares the men whom he names to resent what he says. Cornelius O’Connell published a card concerning Mr. Dasher last week and the latter accuses the city ad ministration officials of having writ ten it. He says they are behind a, plot to have O’Connell kill him. The card concludes by saying that Macon has a Tammany Hall like New York’« —“the only difference being in size.” M LIVE STOCK AND POULTRY CLUB JACKSON, Sept. 7.—The Butts County Live Stock and Poultry As sociation was organized in Jackson when Sheriff L.

Youngster’s Devotion to Cur Pupp Triumphs Over Law, Most Cruel in His Eyes. Alnysius Skinner w as happy Mon- j day, but Saturday he could not con ceive of human misery greater than j his. as he cried at the dog pound like he had not cried since it rained or. the day of the picnic. Tobe was with in the pound,*and was crying, too, as only frightened little dogs can cry. Tobe. now, had a perfectly good reason for crying. The men were going to take him'out and kill him unless his master came to save him with the $1 pound fee. Anil the mas ter, who you must have guessed was Aloysius, had no more than fifteen i. ents. The beginning of it all was several days ago when the official dog catcher, zealous with his new au thority, saw Tobe standing in an al ley, What Tobe was doing In the nlley has not been explained. It must have lteen that he went alter a cat, nfter the manner of all little dogs. Anyhow, the catcher found him and slipped a wire noose over his head. Aloysius searched for several days, and asked everybody about a dog with short brown ha r. You know well that a dog with short brown hair is a mongrel cur and not worth anybody's tears, but you are grown up and hardened. Aloysius, you see, is only 10 years old. Someone suggested the city pound. Thither Aloysius went, to run into an even more poignant gr'ef when the obdurate executioner demanded a dol lar or Tobe's life. Hence Aloysius was crying. The dog law seemed a very cruel law. Even the executioner, if he had not j been a conscientious man. would have heeded the pleading of Aloysius. One man did heed it. He was a fat, cheery-faced man. and he gave Aloysius a quarter. The tears stopped. Aloysius be came frankly and shamelessly a beg gar, and it was a very happy little boy. for all the grime on his face, who finally gave the pound keeper a dollar he hud gotten out of the boun ty of passers-by. Both master and dog stopped cry ing together, and Aloysius kissed Tobe and promised the dog catcher to keep Tobe close In the yard here after.
