NEW YORK_ COTTON
New ork. —The cotton market show
ed renewed steadiness at the opening
this morning and active positions sold
some five to fourteen points over the
closing figures of yesterday during the
early trading. Iderpool did not fully
meet the local advance of yesterday on
old crop positions but made a steady
showing on later deliveries and there
seemed to be considerable covering
around the local ring on private predic
tions of continued dry weather in the
belt and uncertainty as to the showing
of private and official crop reports early
next week.
Cotton futures closed steady.
Realizing caused reactions later and
the market closed steady, net two points
Tower to four points higher.

WEEK IN
New York—The Claflln receivership
was the all-important feature of the
week In the stock market. It Is yet too
soon to gauge the full effect of the fail
ure but It is evident that among Us
many results will be a curtailment of
commercial credits.
The market gave an indubitable exhi
bition of strength in the face of extra
ordinary conditions. That prices yield
ed but little was accepted as evidence of
a liquidated condition. Shares of a few
commercial companies, registered de
clines hut otherwise the list held rela
tively firm.
Conditions In the steel Industry re
main unchanged, albeit trade authorities
express the opinion that the last half ot
the year will be worse than the first half
Copper metal continued to shade In
price and the state of that trade re
flected s further reduction In demand.
Crop conditions, except for unfavor
able weather In parts of the middle west
and southwest, lose little of their brlghi
promise. Railroad returns for May
were mainly disappointing Quoted rates
for time money show little change. Golil
exports continue but In more moderate
volume.
You remember the laet Dollar Day
n Augusta? There’s going to be an
other one soon. Watch for it, in the
Augusta Herald.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Chicago.—Wheat advanced today as a
result of heavy rains in the northwest,
giving the spring crop too much moist
ure. The opening, which was 1-4 off
to 1-8 up, was followed by a rise all
round.
Drought and damage reports from
Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri and Okla
homa brought about a rusht of buying in
corn. After opening 1-8 to l-2a5-8
higher, the market continued to bulge.
Oats hardened with corn.
Although provisions at first showed a
downward bent the market later *re
sponded to the strength of corn.
Rains in the spring wheat region con
tinued to uphold the market. Closing
prices were steady at a gain of 3-8 net.
No important reaction took place in
corn and it closed strong 1 l-Bal 1-4 to

WEEK IN" COTTON
New York.—While somewhat Irregular,
the cotton market has shown a steady
undertone during the past week and
prices at the close of business today
were some 20, to 30 points above the low
level reached on the recent reaction.
Crop prospects apparently have Improved
during the past liree weeks, but a feel
ing prevails that unusually favorable
growing conditions will be necessary to
make an adequate supply. Some appre
hension developed as to the effect of the
very high temperatures reported east of
the river. lYlvate reports as to acreage
have ranged from a deorcase of 1.5 per
cent to an Increase of 2,3 per cent;
Manchester trade advices have been un
favorable. but I.lerpool has been stead
ier, and the Claflln troupes have also
had their unsettling Influence on senti
ment. Predictions as to the probable
showing of the government evop report
next Wednesday, however, have ranged
from about 77 to 79 per cent as to con
dition, as compared with 80.7 per cent—
the ten-year average, while many traders
say they expect the acreage to be
about the same or possible a little lean
than last year, and the prompt stopping
of July notices today helped the tone
of the market. |
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
New York. -The two-liour session on
the stock exchange today was barren
of developments. Prices inclined slight
ly toward a higher level and the Claflin
failure, with its attendant circumstances,
appered to be forgotten for the time.
The market closed firm.
Virtually all the business was trans
acted In the first half hour after which
the market fell back to its recent stag
nant state. Prices receded here and
there but the movement was too insig
nificant to warrant extended comment.
A two point decline in Rock Island 5s
was the only feature of the bond divis
ion.

WEEK IN TRADE
New York.—Dun’s review today says:
“Reports from the principal trade cen
ters continue irregular, but favorable
advices outnumber those of opposite
character, especially in agricultural sec
tions. tlie prospect of another year ot
bountiful harvests stimulating retail
sales in the West and Southwest.
“The large dry goods suspension and
the diastrous fire in New England nat
urally were disturbing features late in
the week. High temperatures again fa
cilitated file distribution of seasonable
merchandise.
“This month has witnessed an expan
sion in demand for iron and steel, vet
price concessions are still a feature. The
transporting companies are still buying
In a conservative manner. There was
a decrease of 5.7 per cent in the gross
earnings of railroads reporting for two
weeks of June.
“Failures this week were 336. against
236 last year; in Canada 33, against 27.”

THE FUTURE I
lUIIK IU. S.
Instruction of Officers and
Men Going Forward Rapidly
at Pensacola Flying School.
Washington— Preparations for in
struction of officers and nien of the
future air navy of the United States
are going rapidly forward at the
navy’s flying school at Pensncola,
Fla. Canvas hangers now are hous-.
ing the machines and the shops and
buildings of the naval station are be
ing adapted to the other needs of this
branch of the service. Naval aero
nautical experts believe Pensacola
has many advantages as a site Tor the
new school.
A course of instruction for air pi
lots and one for mechanicians has
been approved by Secretary Daniels
and a class of officers and enlisted
men fill be detailed to take the
courses preparatory to the "air ser
vice of the sea,” A post-graduate
course will be provided for promising
students who may be sent abroad or
to technical hchools in this country.
“The regular course for the pres
ent,” said Secretary Daniels today,
"i‘s laid out for one year until furthei
experience may change this period.
From among the students each year
the officers will also bo selected to
continue on duty at the school as in
structors In order to graduate from
the school and be eligible Tor a post
graduate course or to bo selected as
an instructor, each student must have
qualified for and received a navy air
pilots certificate. When officers
graduate front the school they will
go into regular service in the air
craft that will then be in commission
and serving with the fleet. The air
craft win take their place in that
branch of the fleet that provides for
its ‘security and information’ by pro
tecting the fighting battleships from
the air craft, submarines and mines
of the enemy and scouting for Infor
mation of the location and strength
of the enemy’s fighting fleet. They
very probably will form a part of the
fighting element by attacking other
air eraftaml dropping bombs on sub
marines, torpedoe craft and the
enemy's battleships.”

EUGENICS AND
NEW fROHI BILL
Measures Introduced to Limit
Alcohol to One-Half of One
Per Cent—To Check Hasty
Marriages.
Atlanta. —The prohibition war in the
legislature has broken loose just as
predicted when tlie Macon members
tried to legalize the sale and manu
facture of real beer. They. Imd their
answer when Representative Full
brightt of Rurke, came hack with the
most sweeping prohibition bill which
ever reached the Georgia house. It
hibits the manufacture, sale, keeping
for sale barter or giving away to en
courage trade of any liquor containing
more than one half of one per cent of
alcohol. If that bill ever Is passed—
and enforced—Georgia will be the dry
est spot this side of the great Sahara
desert.
Love and marriage and divorce had
their innings also in the assembly.
Representative Parker of Liberty of
fered a hill providing that when two
young hearts began to beat ns one nnd
to figure on keeping house they must
publish in a newspaper, for four weeks
hi succession, an announcement that
they contemplated embarking on the
matrimonial sea. Then, when they hud
proved this to the ordinary ttiey could
get a. license and become one.
Rut Senator Hixon stopped in Just
then with a senate 1)111 which would
throw further difficulties in the way.
His bill provides that the bride and
groom to be must furnish each other
and the proper authorities with a phy
sician's certificate that they are welt
strong, have no contagious or com
municable disease and are fully equip
ped to lie married. This Is the famous
"eugenic.” bill introduced by Senator
Hixon last year, but mysteriously lost
in the shuffle.
Mr. Heck of Carroll desires that the
tax commissioner he elected by the
people Instead of being apointed by
the governor, and offered a bill to that
effect. A Dill Is ulso before the house
to have the game and fish warden
elected by the people.
No session was held today, both
houses having adjourned until Mon
day.
Georgia School Books.
Atlanta, Ga.— A new and economical
way out of (lie stale text hook dilemma
wl.lch is disturbing.the legislature at
this session Is offered by Dudley M.
Hughes, congressman from Georgia,
in a bill introduced in the national
house. The bill provides that the
state may send to the public printer at
Washington the rnaniiscrlp of any
book to be used in the elementary
schools and the public printer shall
print and bind as many of the books
as are necessary and supply to the
state at cost,
Mr. Hughes made inquiries and
found that the government could pub
lish such books at a flguro far below
tthe cost of regular firms, and that it
would be ent'rely feasible to have the
government office do the work.

German father. Feor of punishment,
either on account of some childish
prank, or, often enough, because of
bad marks at school.
In the year 1912 there were no
fewer than 112 suicides of children
of 15 years and younger. The num
ber of suicides between the age of 15
and 20 Is nor given, but must he
very much higher since occasloiiHlly
within the past few months, there
have been as many as five cases reg
istered In the course of a single day
in Berlin alone. The total number
of male suicides in the year was
0,1104, female suicides 2,119. Of these
there were 9fi boys of 15 years and
younger and Ifi girls. Of these two
hoys and one girl were not even ten

MORNING WITH THE RECORDER
The almost complete state of nature
was attained by one Lizzie Jenkins,
colored, yesterday afternoon nftor a
lively engagement with one of her
friends, or rather enemies, named
Gertrude. The "almost,” the second
word in Ihe above sentence, is put In
for the sake of delicacy. After a few
moments of deadly combat, Lizzie de
cided to leave her adversary, who was
getting the better of her, and in doing
sit she also left the entirety of her
earthly raiment in Gertrude's hands,
which wore clenched noon her simple
garments in a death-like grip. Like a
moth that tears itself from Its coceoon
she fled across the street and took re
fuge behind the counter of a small
store, where she remained at bay until
the police arrived.
Here Is the story of the affair with
all its antecedents and consequen
ces:
Lizzie, a small but alert negress of
powerful build, last week bought a
“side” of cocaine from a wo.i.an named
Katie. In some way th«*v were cap
tured by the police, Lizzie with the
oaoor of cocaine in her hat, and in
the course of subseque: t events she
Informed the police shat she had
bought the cocaine from Kutie, Katie
is now reposing in jail in conse
quence.
Katie lived in Perrin's Bottom, with
her sister Gertrude.
The latter, incensed and humiliated
ut her sister’s arrest, vowed the ven
geance of fire and the sword against
Lizzie as the cause thereof.
And Lizzie, aware of this, steered
clear of Perrin’s Bottom for a week.
But il so happend that yesterday
she was forced to go up there to the
store, and the following is her own
version of what came of it:
"I knowed dey was goln’ to gang me
