Old crop positions were relatively steady, ruling 6 or 7 points net higher on covering whle the new crop fluctuated within 2 or 3 points of last right’s closing figures.

Weakness in coarse grain, however, led to selling which wiped out all the ad vance. After opening 1-4 to 5-8 higher the market gradually settled back to last night's level. Plentiful moisture southwest led to a rush of selling in the corn crowd. The opening, which was 1-4 to 1 3-8 down, was followed by an additional fall be fore any reduction set In. Oats eased off with corn. Provisions clung to last night's quotations. Predictions of fair weather fed- the en tire belt tended to prevent any decided upturn in wheat. It closed firm, 1-8 to 1-4 above last nigrt. Reports of improved eastern demand helped corn. The close was unsettled, ranging from 1 1-4 decline to 1-4 ad vance, compared with last night. Open.

The dynamite was being used by a contractor who was doin„ some street grading for th,<? city. The origin of the fire is un known but there is strong suspicion that it was of incendiary origin.

Mr. Whittle was formerly special bailiff of the Superior Court, under Solicitor A. L. Franklin, and also under Solicitor Jos. S. Reynolds.

Na Size Nam* i4tr**t ee* Na City ■tats fHE vAUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA. GA. The Olympia, London, to be Scene of 2 Great Boxing Contests-The Carpentier - Smith and Ritchie-Welsh Bouts London—Olympic is to be the scene of the two boxing contests In Eng land, which come off soon, tt Is the biggest hall In London, and quite ade quate for the great International Horse Show. That has just concluded, and In the center of the arena Is the square "ring” In which the world's lightweight and the European heavy weight championships will be de cided. Willie Ritchie and Freddy Welsh clash July 7th, and Qunbout Smith engages George* Carpentier July 15. Ritchie has captivated the Brit ishers, just as Gunboat Smith did before the little man arrived and, of course, they simply dote 0:1 Welsh and on Carpentier, in a lesser degee, so perhaps after all Mr. C. B. Coch rane will get his money back, and something In addition for promoting these two contests, both of which will be referreed by ''Gene Co.ri,” one of the straightest and best. When Ritchie cabled for Corri to act, he knew he was on sure ground and there is no better man at the game on this side of the water. Wrong End. We are told that Welsh has got tho wrong end of the bargain in agreeing to 135 pounds, at 2 o clock on the day of the contest. This Is the English lightweight standard and 2 pounds over the international weight, but Ritchie wanted it and he got it. In fact, Ritchie, as befits a chumpou, ■has got nearly all he wants. So has Welsh, for lie tells me that the grati fication of his ambition was greater than any momentary consideration, which may be so seeing that he has collected $50,000 during his last American tour and has a fine, bounc ing little daughter way out In Call ifornia. 1 am’ not surprised that ho was in an amenable mood When terms were arranged. Welsh is as fit as he himselt and willing helpers can make him. At his training camp in -South Wales, hard by his native Pontypridd, he haH a whole army of sparring partners, and Jim Driscoll has been lending his aid to the Welsh boy. If ever a boxer was fit to fight for honor, glory or money, Welsh is the man. He only scaled 135 pounds when he crossed THROAT BEST IS T. JJfIIEI Then the Colonel Makes a Few Speeches As Test. Told to Quit For Six Weeks. New York. —Roosevelt was told by a throat specialist today that lie would have to rest six weeks. Then,, after the colonel had made a few speeches as a tist, the doctor said lie would be able to tell more definitely just what Mr. Roosevelt could do in the campaign. “I’ll be able to make some speeches, all right,” said tht colonel conlident ly. He agreed that the eix weeks sentence was preftrable to the four months rest recently prescribed by another physician. “Maybe the doctor will let you be a candidate fo r governor after all,” said a questioner. “Tney won’t have to let me,” ans wered the colonel. He did not make it clear jußt what fie meant by this remark. | SOUTHERN LEAGUF Even Break.

DEATHS on the lmperator and there has been no weight-reducing process to go through, it lias been all speed and muscle-producing work and under tile invigorating lutluences of his own native climate Freddie Is absolutely at lib best. Disappointed. He is disappointed that Ritchie W’oultl not come to the 135 pounds at ringside, at which Ritchie won the title, but he Is uot worrying about it. Nor does he underestimate the oppo sition. After all wrangling and twisting between Vernon and Thiery about lerms, It has been refreshing to find Welch and Ritchie saying the sweetest things imaginable about each other. In fact, If the pair had been training at 30 miles instead of 300 miles from each other it would have boon in the natural order of things that they should spend their leisure time together. Such is the expressed reeling at the moment. They talk and act like wise bovs— good business rivals. All that Ritchie says In answer to queries about his alleged side-stop ping in America is that he is not so much to blatnn as some people think. Welsh hits a similar keynote and says he is satisfied now that he has got Ritchie to toe the mark. Why make recriminations he asks'? And there you have an epitome of the prevail ing feeling. Interest. Ritchie, who has his brother Henry Stelfen and Emil Thiery, his manager, as his constant companions, is train ing In a northern suburb of London. Uls camp is on high ground, wherd the air is good, though he may deem It wise to switch to the cooler air of the seaside aa a wind-up. Ween lie set foot on English soil, he turned the beam at Hill pounds, but he lius already shed three-quarter* of the overplus and has no fear that he will he dead on the 135 mark at the ap pointed moment. The articles which Ritchie signed within 24 hours of his arrival in Eng land stipulate for a 20-round contest and tlie universal opinion here is that we are to have the lightweight match of the century.

BAR ASSOCIATION VOTED TO REPRIMAND Charges Were Preferred Against Mr. E R. Hill By Maj. J. B. Cummins:. Meeting This Morning. There was a special meeting of tha Augusta Bar Association held tnls morning when a report, of the grlcv «nce committee was beard on gome charges which had been preferred against Mr. K R. Hill by Major ,Jos. B. Gumming. The grievance commit tee had a hearing of the case some time ago and made a report recom mending expulsion. In the meantime Mr. Hill, through his attorney, Mr. Wallace B. Pierce, made a supple mental statement In which he admit ted that he had been In the wrong with regard to some «T the of'ense charged and asked that nothing fur ther than a reprimand be given. The grievance committee supplemented Its report also with the statement that If Mr. Hill had frankly admitted hltf 36,960,000 ACRES PLANTED IN COTTON; CONDITION T 9.6 July Report of Government Issued Today—Georgia Acreage is 5,398,000 With Condition 83 —South Carolina Acreage is 2,826.000 With Condition 81 Per Cent Wa§hlngton.

Tide com pares with 37,458,000 acres, the revised estimate of acreage in cultivation a your ugo. .37,089.000 acVes picked last year, 34.233,000 In 1912 and 30.045.010 a res in 1911. Tho condition of the growing crop on June 25 was 79.6 per cent of a normal ns compared with 71.3 per cent on May, 25, this year: HI.B per cent on June 25, last year; and 80.7 per cent, the ten year average on June 25. The month begun with one of the se ven's! dPbuth.s ever known in the <>uai orn portions of the cotton belt. It g eat* ly retarded growth of early planted cot ton and delayed the germinal on of late planted. In the western jortlons of the belt the first week of the month was excessively wet. This prevented any Im provement tu the plants and made culti vation and planting difficult. Hotter conditions prevailed during the second week, the plant mak iig good progress In the eastern and cent*.ft! por tions of the belt, while the western por tion had th« most favorable weather lor several weeks. During the third week local showers In the central and eastern portions •»! the belt greatly Improved the outlook and early planted cotton generally was reported in good condition but Inter planted was backward and needed vain. Highly favorable weather continued In the western part of the belt. The final week of the month was re ported as the most favorable thus far tills season, good rains having fallen over much of tho central and eastern portions and the plant tniving made ex cellent growth.

Tho month of June, Just ended, has broken all hdat records, as far as Au gusta is concerned. It is likely that this is also tlie truth with reference to other cities, as the warm weather wits reported as general throughout this part of the country.

The hottest ever recorded here at any time during tlie summer was 105 on July 22 and August 2, 1878. It Ih also observed from it record covering the past forty years that nev er in the history of the local station error at the outset it would have ree omminded a reprimand and not ex pulsion. In view of the faet that Mr. Hill did admit that lie was at fault in some of the instances, the Bar Association voted that he be reprimanded by the president, Maj, J. C. C. Black, and not expelled.
