They confined their ef forts largely to southwestern railroad shares. The market was- generally low er during the morning—although losses at no time were severe on increasing weakness of low priced shares and re newal of selling for foreign account, and after midday active selling depressed the general level further. While stocks came principally from professional sources, yet there was some outside selling by discouraged holders of long stock. Bands easy. Pressure was applied more vigorously because of the reported unfavorable turn In the Steel and cooner Industries. Final figures showed losses of 1 to 3 points.

TO FRANK H. BARRETT New York.—Liverpool 1h two points too low with sales of 10,000 hales. The cotton market Is in a rut and is waiting for something: of moment to occur to lift it out. That incentive must be a sweeping demand for spots or some ac curate knowledge of the crop prepara tions which are about to follow. Neither of these are as yet a condition and therefore speculation will have nothing to do with the market. It certainly looks like Europe would demand oyer nine million hales for their shard of the American erdp of i 1913 and if they get that much America cannot have lief per centage of that crop. The remainder of the old crop does not fit the remainder of the demand. We think the market a jajrchase on all soft spots. 0-./ FTTANK H, GARRETT.

Almost exactly three years ago, on the 23d of February, 1911, Captain Thompson, conductor on the Georgia Road was shot and killed by a negro on the train going to Atlanta. The crime- took place near Warrenton. Ga., and everybody will remember that the negro was taken from the train and lynched by the Inhabitants of that town. Tt will also be remem bered that there was another negro Implicated in the crime who Jumped off the train while it was going forty miles an hour and escaped. At that time Chief of Pollen El liott determined not to rest till he had caught that other negro, at last, his object has been accomplished and the man Is landed In North Carolino. The story of the hunt Is an interest ing one. The chief first tracked hack the negro who was lynched to a home, or rather a base of operations, at 711 Campbell Street. He put up there when In town with a woman named Fanny Harris, who has re cently died. Fanny was arrested and the chief extracted from her the con fession that the other negro Impli cated In the murder was her brother, George Harris. She said he had left for Atlanta in company with the murderer. After a good deal of work and trou ble the chief got on the fellow’s trail and traced him to Savannah, thence to Jacksonville and on finally to Tampa. And there he lout him. He had strings out, however, in all directions and two weeks ago got news from North Carolina that a sus pected man had been arrested. He sent Mr. Cook, who had seen the negro on the train the day of the crime, to Inspect the prisoner, and this morning Mr. Cook returned with the news that it was the man. Not merely did he recognize him, but the man recognized Mr. Cook, and, fur ther still, a letter was found amoung the man’s things hearing the name George Harris. THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA.
