Luring the conversation, the girl broke

The frost Friday night waa fully as
heavy In Georgia oa was the frost of
tne night before, and, It Is presumed,
the damage to the cotton crop ■ was
“Tain very great.
T’h* damage.by the frost on Wednes
day night,-as estimated by Hon. Harvlc
Jordan Tnursday, was 60,000 bales. Mr.
Jordan is out .of the city now. so it is
Impossible to secure his estlmuto o(
tlto damage done by the frost of
Thursday night.
It Is estimated at the office 6f the
Cotton Journal that the damage had
been'very great. , Aft : exact estimate
could not be gained. It la believed
bales of cotton were destroyed. This
would make u total of 76,000 bales
ruined by the frosts of the nights of
Wednesday and Thursday.
The temperatures, as recorded by tha
weather bureau thermometer at the top
of the Empire building, do not show
the real temperatures felt by the peo-
plo of Atlanta on the streets Friday

d i at tho bottom, where before had
oei.ii comparatively warm air, and the
temperature on the boulevards was
muen lower than on the roof of the

Minimum 36 Degrees.
While the minimum temperature Fri
day, aa recorded at the weather bu
reau, was 36 degrees, the coldest
weather experienced by the people of
Atlanta Friday morning was at least
four degrees lower, or 33.

CUBSANDSOX
BOTH EAGER
FOR GAME
Chicago,' Oct. J2.—Worm and balmy
autumn breezes gave the White Stock
ings nnd the Cubs the most pleasant
day of the series, when they met in th«
fourth game for the world’s champion*
ship today. This was the only day ao
far in the series when baseball could
be played with anything like justice to
the players.
Thj cold weather of the preceding
three days was a great f handicap
the players. ' Today was likewise the
last day when the players, would re
ceive a share of the gate receipts, *an*d
they wero willing to take their share
of $60,000. It did not look as if that
much would be split up among them.
Even Money-is
It la estimated ityat.earh of the forty
players entitled* to a* share VIII• re
ceive. about $800 If It Is divided evenly
among them.
This was a most trying game for
both teams. _ If the Sox can win It
they are practically certain of the
world's championship. If .the. .Cups
should down them this afternoon they
will be on the same footing with the
Sox. )
There Is decidedly more betting to
day than on any previous day. Even
money wagers are being made on the
series. At this prlco a large number
of small wagers are toeing yiade.
' Batteries Are Announced.
The batteries announced for the
game were Altrock nnd Sullivan for
the White Sox and Brown and Kiln*
for tho Cubs. Since these some men
worked In the first game the Sox were
kept In the position of favorites.
The national commissioner refused to
allow the sale of bottled goods In the
bleachers during this series. This ac
tion was taken to prevent bottle throw
ing. In addition they raised the price*
of the seats hack of first ba»e where
the bottle throwing usually take*
place.
Those were the old 25-cent seat*. For
the post-season series they raised the
price to $1.
an nrtlatic nnd skilled singer.
Prof. H. R James, or some other well
known old-time linger, will be In
charge of the afternoon session. The
program will consist of sacred harp .
songs, and quite n crowd Is expected
to be In attendance.
Delegations arrived later In the day
from (’obb, Cherokee, Carroll, Butts
and Dodge counties. All these coun
ties have organized singing or choral
societies, and wlU be well represented
In Saturday’s program.

PAYS VISIT TO ATLANTA
Reeking pleasure and ozone of Geor

2116 Fifth avenue. New York, and Da
vid M. BrEssles, of Boston, registered
Thursday night at • the Piedmont and
may remain In Atlanta several days.
He and Mr.’ BrEssles visited the Geof-'
gta State Fair In a touring car Friday
afternoon.
In replying to questions, Mr, Gould
said that he was on Ills way South and
would sail soon for Mexico, where hts
father, George J. Gould, the railroad
magnate, waa spending a few weeks.
Klngdon Gould appears to be only
about 20 years of age. He dresses
neatly, but ordinarily, and would not be
recognised aa the son of a millionaire.
“Yes," said he, "I am the one who
pulled the pistol' nnd refused to be
hazed by a crowd of stiidents at Co
lumbia .University. There was not so
much hazing, however, as at Annapolis
or West Point. • I went to Columbia In
1905.
"1 am here merely on pleasure. No,
my brother, George J. Gould, Jr., Is the
polo player. I-go In for athletics. 1
like tennis, but I am by no means an
expert. I am fond of hunting and
would like to go turkey hunting.”
He asked about turkey shooting and
the hunting possibilities about Atlanta.
Upon being informed that turkeys
were plentiful In South Georgia, he re
marked that he would stop over there
on his way South. He refused to at
tempt to pronounce his friend's name.

Washington. Oct. 12.—At the banquet
last night of the United Spanish War
Veteran* In the new Willard, the last
speaker of the evening was Captain
Richmond Pearson Hobson. He was
cheered to the echo when lie declared
that a greater navy was an Imperative
necessity for the United States. He
advocated the expenditure of IGO.000,-
000 to that end.
The Paclllc ocean, he said. Is bound
to become, at no far distant time, the
scene of a conflict for supremacy be
tween the white and yellow race*. He
dwelt at length upon this subject, and
made many strong argument* In favor
of hla position, while disclaiming the
title of an alarmist. He declared that
the Japanese could tomorrow take the
Philippines and Hawaii.
"We must have a Paclllc squadron,”
said he, "fully as large aa the Japanese
fleet, and that means one fully three
times as large as that which we have
on those seas today.”
He railed attention to the present
activity of the Japanese In training
armies throughout Chins, and referred
to the warning uttered by General XJ.

from his tour around the world.
