TODAY’S STOCK MARKET NEW YORK.—(WaII street)—The stock market opened weak with show ing of sharp declines for most of the favorite speculative issues. The report of obstacles to the list ing of U. S. Steel on Paris Bourse affected the whole market. While thei-e were some severe de clines in minor stocks after the open ing, support was extended to the usual leaders for some time, and the initial losses were largely made up. Covering of shorts was on a large scale. The recovery, however, tempted new sel ling by bears and prices relapsed again. Prices moved up slowly until most of the stocks were within a moderate fi’actional distance of Tuesday’s clos ing. A few rose higher. Trading be came stagnant at the recovery. Powerful support was again assert ed after the general price level had fallen slightly lower than at the out set. The Harriman Pacifies were bid up aggressively to a fraction over last night, and there was a rally all around. Another decline in Reading to the previous low point unsettled the tone and trading became dull. Bonds are easy. The market made further progress upwards, but the movement was very slow. Business was restricted largely to important stocks. Open. Close.

To the Annexing Committee, also to the Father of Good Roads: At our last meeting we all agreed to write and ask those that could to please annex us, either to the city of Augusta or to the county of Rich mond. We are more than willing to be an nexed, pay our taxes, and to help swell the next census, .lust please drop Summerville, that don’t want to come into the fold and take us. We will be less expense, as we huve more waterworks than we can control and plenty to supply all with drinking and other needs; but we need your help in controlling our waterworks. The cistern or locks or whatever is in control has been running over our highways for from two to six years, and such roads, you never did see In a civilized country. We have cut new roads and gone through our neighbor’s fields, until the whole dog-gone coun try is washed in holes and gullies, and if we do not get annexed soon and no way opened to fly, why every one of us will have to go to see each other through the woods, and quit go ing to mill, church or to your city. The place where we stay and want taken in is west of Blythe, Oa., gene rally known as Goosetown and Plne tucky—(lf good roads is the Richmond county line) then say ten or twelve miles from Augusta to Briar creek— or Jefferson county line. I don’t know if the pathfinder that left our neck of the world ever reach ed Augusta or not. If it did it sure took a path to the line. Still it has never been heard from since—a total loss to its owner —all because we have no one to take care of us. So won’t you please take us into the fold of good roads. S. P.

The above photograph shows a design iri which the cement block and cement brick arc combined with pleasing effect. The structure has the appearance of solidity, yet the upper story Is light and cut with graceful lines. 81ze32by35 feet, about, exclusive of front arid rear projections. The basement and first story above grade are of rock face cement blocks, natural cement gray color, and the second story is built of frame wltli a veneer of red cement brick. Variation in color effect can be hud by making the water table, belt course dividing the block* and bricks, the window sills and caps and all corner blocks of bluestone. The contrast In color between the red brick and the gray block Is striking and agreeable, giving a life to the exterior which the pho tographer cannot reproduce.
