NEW YORK COTTON
New York.—Cotton opened steady at
unchanged prices to an advance of three
points today and sold about four to five
points net higher during early trading
on relatively firm cables, a bullish view
of the supply and distrlbut on figures
and less favorable weather than expect
ed In the eastern belt. There was a
good deai of realizing however and the
market soon eased off to last night's
closing.
Weakness in the stock market and an
unfavorable view of the Mexican situa
tion seemed to promote scattered local
selling later in the morning and the
market gradually sagged off TO a net
loss of six to nine points.
Continued absence of any aggressive
demand for old crop positions combined
with unsettling rumors as to tire Mex
ican situation, seemed responsible for
more active liquidation during the early
afierrWo'n and May contracts sold 23 and
later delvedes work about 8 to 10 points
net lower.
Cotton futures closed steady.

Chicago—Wheat rallied on decrease
In receipts northwest. Started l-4a3-8
lower to a shade advance but reacted to
last night's level or well above.
Better demand from interior points
overcame corn’s sagging tendency. Open

in some cases showed a material ad
vance.
Liquidating sales kept oats more de
pressed than other grain.
Provisions steady with hogs.
A big decrease in the world's avail

by wheat shorts. Congestion in May
wheat became acute. Closed strong, 3-8

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York. —A decisive downward
movement in stocks occurred today.
Acute weakness of a few leading is
sues led to liquidation and short selling
elsewhere until the whole list became
unsettled. The decline was influenced
largely by the latest turn in the Mexi
can situation.
Houses with Washington connections
received reports regarding the possi
bility ot a serious crls.s which were cir
culated through the street and gave the
bears a plausible reason for putting out
stock on al arger scale than at any other
time recently.
The decline continued, a large number
of stocks gomg 1 to 2points lower, un
til the movement halted while the mar
ket digested the effect of the Union Pa
cific dividend announcement. Heavy
plunging on the short side in steel later
drove it down to 57 7-8 and the general
decline was resumed.
Bonds easy.
Closed heavy. Supporting orders were
distributed on the announcement that
the Atlantic fleet had been ordered to
Tampico, and prices rallied 1-2 to 1
point. Receivers, however were not ful
ly held.

THE TROUBLE ON
HITCHCOCK FIRM
Violence Aroused Indignation
of Community. Firm Stand
Taken by Millionaire.
Aiken, S. C. —A rather unusual con
ciition existed on Hifchcock's farm
last week, all the day laborers going
on a strike. There were some twen
ty darkies and six or eight, white
hands all day laborers. The demands
were SI.OO per day, an increase ot 15
cents.
It was known in the city early last
week that the strike was on, but it
was thought that It would soon blow
over, and nothing come of it. There
was no violence at first but on Friday
night a mob visited the house of an
old darkey and it is said shot about
200 holes through it. In the morn
ing Mr. Williams, the manager of the
farm found a note on his door, warn
ing him to leave, and a how of crepe.
The only offence the old darkey had
committed to excite the wrath of the
mob, was that he was the tender of
dogs on the farm, and had worked to
the extent that he had fed the dogs
during the week.
The violence aroused the indigna
tion of a number of the neighboring
farmers to Mr. Hitchock and also
some eight or ten automobiles Tillel
with men went to the farm to talk to
the hands and try to show them the
error of their way.
Talked to Them.
Mr. Hitchcock had the strikers as
sembled and made them a nice talk,
and trieil to show them their error.
Mr. Hitchcock told them that he
could not pay the increase very eas
ily without materially adding to the
gross expense of his farm, but that
it would not be fair to his neighbor
farmers to pay the increase, and end
ed with the positive assurance that
their demands would not be granted.
The strikers went into the barn to
discuss affairs and after some hour
or so. gave the assurance that they
would go hack to work. The crowd
then came back to Aiken, hut Sheriff
Howard, who had also gone to the
scene, brought hack with him Mr.
Lonnie Craig and Mr. Weathersbea,
two white men, who were charged
with disorderly conduct. On Satur
day morning Mr. L. W. Heath stood
their bond, and they were rel -ased
from jail. The preliminary will bo
hold later.
The strikers did not go to work
Saturday morning, but yesterday
morning they all reported for work,
with the exception of four white
men. including Messrs, Craig and
Weathersbee.
Observations.
Mr. Hitchcock has a 13Te farm,
land It has been count'.-wide talk
! how kind he is to Ills laborers. As
| it is stated above the average wages
in this county for farm hands is 75
j cents nrr day, hut Mr. Hitchcock
I pays 85 cents, and a number receive
SI.OO To sav that the strlkp was
uncalled for is to express it ml'dly,
as a laborer in the employ of Mr
Hitchcock is in better hands than un
d< r most conditions. »
This striae would never have come
about on the farm of a southern far
mer. The laborers rather tried to
take advantage of this northerner, as
thnv thought he w'uild have to meet
their deinati is. More than one of
the neighboring fanners who were
present would have settled the quos
•inn In a few minutes. The negro. Hut

Series of Dirt Track Speed Events Will be Staged on Race
Track at Fair Grounds; Several of Greatest Automobile
Drivers in the World Will Participate. Secretary Beane
of Georgia-Carolina Fair Association Induced Promoter

Augusta is to tako Its placn on the
automobile map as a racing center
next Saturday afternoon, when a series
of dirt track speed events will be
staged. In which will lake part sev
eral ot the greatest automobile drivers
in the world.
Through Secretary Beane, of the
Georgia-Carolina fair, J. Ai<x. Sloan,
the famous fair and dirt track race
promoter, who brought cars to Savan
nah in 1910 and 1911, was induced to
come to Augusta and look over the
local track for a series of events. After
looking at the track of the Georgia-
Carolina fair Mr. Sloan pronounced it
one of the fastest short distance
courses of the country and agreed to
put on a meet for tile star drivers
and their cars.
Louis Disbrow.
Louis Disbrow. champion dirt track
and beach driver of the world, who
has made many friends in Georgia and
FTorida by his great work at the,
wheels of two famous speed creations,
at» Savannah, Atlanta anil on the
Florida east coast, will be the first
celebrated daredevil to send In his ea
tr.v for the Augusta races. He will
bring to this city with hint the 300-
horsepower Jay-Flye-See and the 175-
horsepower Simplex Zip. The former
speetl machine Is the largest In the
world, while the latter is the holder of
more dirt track records titan all tho
other cars in the world combined.

thank you very kindly. You will be
pleased to learn that there has been
practically no embezalement connected
with this fund, owing to the strict
watch the police have kept oyer it.
And you needn't bother about .nuking
up the 39 cents which is lacking on
the price of Susanna’s ticket homo. A
committee Is going to wail on the
Merchants and Manufacturers’ Asso

In making up the balance, and M Is
even hoped they m*y persuade that
public-spirited Institution to assume
the entire deficit.
By the way, there was a mysterious
envelope left 111 the office yesterday
for Susanna, containing $1 45 In small
change which had been collected by
