.v the new year will be the

onfldent prediction made
' by J. E. C. Pedder, division
if . •. udent for Bradstreet’s and
r . rt on business conditions in
L section.
« r redder declares that with the
«■ ar.d currency bills disposed of
banks full of money, nothing
Ti j= m ihe way of 1914 breaking
records.
Tie year 1913, just closing, has
ne of the most complex that
r.eastern States have experi-
f • n years,” said Mr. Pedder,
although crop conditions and
prices in this territory have been
j- wing to the disturbing factors
ir.e tariff bugaboo and the cur-
rer v bill, general conditions during
me past summer were not entirely
sc.:..-factory, although there wa? no
reasonable explanation.
Free From Load of Debt,
marketing of the cotton crop
. :,-n brought the farmers, who
; .anted, worked and harvested
• mselves at a minimum cost,
ally free from the load of
-..a: had accumulated the past
, rears, which will give them a
^tan for 1914.
Tr.e general trade throughout the
Southeast has been restricted and
repressed, and more in the line of
filling in than normal buying, with
the result that merchandise stocks
at the present time are depleted.
“This indicates that the early
spring months must show a decided
increase in orders apd sales. In fact,
numerous local wholesalers and job
bers have already felt this trade im
petus in largely increased orders for
spring shipment.
1914 To Be Best.
“With the tariff and currency bills
disposed of; with our banks full of
money; with our farmers in better
financial condition than for years;
with the faith in ourselves that we
have gained by the magnificent for
ward strides we have made in the
past few years, we can all look for
ward with confidence born of our
past successful achievements that
1914 will be the best year ever known
in the South.
“I might tell you of the wonderful I
record we have made here in At- I
lanta, but the world knows that, and |
statistics are dry reading, anyway; I
but if we all attend to our own
knitting, each one striving to make
his individual efforts the best, we of j
the Southland will l^ad the nation in
comparative results.”

Rebels Marching On
PRESIDIO. TEXAS, I
Scouts of the Mexican Federals in
Ojinaga reported to General Orozco
there to-day that they had sighted
the advance guard of the rebel army
marching from Chihuahua. This
news was immediately followe.d by
the departure of scores of women and
children from the Mexican town of
Presidio.
United States troops are preparing
to enforce their order that no Ameri

of the two armies.
It is probable, however, that the
battle will not begin before Tuesday

With a negro cabman. Tom Bow
man, under arrest on suspicion of
having driven Jason A. Rosier to the
alley off Decatur street where he was
assaulted and robbed and left half
dead, detectives Monday morning be
gan a search for two other negro's,
who also are under suspicion.
The clews connecting the two ne
groes with the assault were unearthed
by a brother of the Injured man. wnc
told the police late Saturday night his
reasons for suspecting them. He went
with two detectives on a search for
the negroes, but was unable to find
Them. The theory connecting the ne
groes and the negro Bowman with the
crime is that Bowman, having secured
Rosier as a fare.” drove him to the
alley, where the young man was
pulled from the cab and assaulted and
robbed by the other two, who lay in
wait for th’eir victim. Rosier's broth
er says a $350 diamond stud and a
gold watch which the injured man
wore are missing.
Bowman denies all knowledge of
Rosier. He declares that he never
bad a white man in his cab Friday
night, and that thr Jghout Friday and
Saturday he was not in the vicinity
of the robbery. He probably will bo
grilled by detectives Monday in an
effort to induce .itm to help unravel
the mystery.
The condition of the wounded man
appears to be gr< wing worse. Sun
day he was still unable to talk, and
has not said a word since he was
found.

“I have never refused to give a
cancer sufferer treatment with ra

terest in conserving the country’s!
supply of radium deposits is that the
thousands of cancer patients may be]
benefited by such a policy.”

SUFFRAGE LEADER DYING.
ENGLEWOOD. N J., Dec.
Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake. 78, a
i suffrage leader, is not expected to
Ten years ago when David W.
Webb and. pretty Miss Annie Elder
secretly planned and gleefully carried
out a runaway marriage—to the
amazement of their own parents, as
well as to the general surprise of
their friends and acquaintances—the
young bride exacted a promise that
they would celebrate the tenth anni
versary of their wedding in a manner
that would make up for the triok they
had played <^n people by their elope
ment.
So it comes that there will be a
“tin wedding” Tuesday evening in the
Women’s Clubhouse out at Clarkston.
Each -of r he elopers was 20 years old
when, without saying a word to any
one. they met by appointment and
went to the hoem of the Rev. Julian
S. Rogers, then the assistant of the
Rev. Len G. Broughton, and made de
mand that he then and there make
them husband^and wife.
With the lapse of years Mr. Webb,
now a sedate and well-established
Atlanta business man. had begun to
imagine that Mrs. Webb bad forgot
ten the promise he had made her in
the excitement of their elopement
And, with the ordinary man's not
overly enthusiastic liking for social
functions, he was not in any haste to
remind her.
But she remembered. Their home
in Clarkston, to which they moved
several years ago, would be too small
for the concourse of friends and rela
tives. she thought. The Women’s
Clubhouse was just the place. Be
tween three and- four hundred invita
tions have been issued to the celebra
tion.
The Rev. and Mrs Julian S. Rogers
. A i*e among the guests of honor.
And then there will be three of the
younger generation of Webbs—How
ard, aged 8; Mary Lee, aged 6, and
Qavid, Jr., aged 4. But this is not the
entire family of Mr. and Mrs. Webb,
by any means. There still are Rob
ert, aged 2, and William, who was
ushered into the world only four
months ago. They have been prom
ised that they shall attend the next
decennial celebration of the Webb
elopement, but they are too young
just now to go out to parties and cel
ebrations.
Mr. Webb is a member of the Webb
& Vary Printing and Publishing firm
at No. 38 1-2 West Alabama street.
SAN BERNARDINO. CAL., Dec.
29.—Supposedly a helpless cripple,
but in an instant transformed, James
O’Brien, w^o now occupies a cell In

amination by a lunacy commission,

the little town of Dale in a state of
terror for two days.
He finally was overpowered and
guarded day and night until an au
tomobile could be summoned from
Mecca.
