LRNSDOHHE GETS THERE.
His Appointment Causes Lots -- of Surprise.

The Foreign Secretaryship Is The
 Globe, the Mouthpiece of the Ad-
 ministration, Condemns The Alp
 pointment - Joseph Chamberlain
 Now ct Gibraltar.
 London, Oct 31.-The Marquis of LansdoWne's elevation to the foreign secreta1yship, according to the an noUncementS in the newspapers this morning, has, figuratively speaking, taken the country's breath away. 1t was as unexpected as it is unwolcome. Even the StauncheSt ministerial mouth pieces among the afternoon newSpa pers openly condemn it.
 The Globe declares the appointment only shows Lord Salisbury is con- pletely out of touch With the feelings and wishes of the electorate and the conservative party, While the liberal
 Westminster Gazette, growing over the discontinue of the ministerial newspapers which have been so loud ly demanding the retirement of Lord Lansdowne, expresses relief at the fact that Joseph Chamberlain was not given the post. saying:
 The latter'S appointment would have filled thoughtful people with dis
 may and ii is something to have es- capped this serious danger. Lord Salisbury, apparently, arrang- ed matters with the queen at Balmoral week ago. His lordships own incli- nation was to resign the premiership and devote himself exclusively to the foreign office. He wrote her majesty to this effect. but she declined to ac- cept the suggestions. Lord Salisbury. therefore. went to Balmoral to discuss the question, with the result that the queen carried her point.
 Public sentiment is relieved by the conviction that Lord SaliSbury'S eXper-
 fence will still. be able to direct the
 broad lines of policy of the respective foreign minister.
 New York, Oct 31.-A London dis
 patch to the Journal and Advertiser says:
 Joseph Chamberlain. secretary of state for the colonies, has arrived at Gibraltar. He had a conference with Sir George White. the governor. and inspected privately the Notifications His son. Austen. d lord of tthe admiral lA accompanies him.
 \ Paris dispatch says: Suspicion of Secretary Chamberlain and his Medi-
 
 calls him the terror of the peaceful l government. Le Journal says that Mir Chamberlain, with his son and Sir George White. the defender of Lady smith. are at Malta to study with the l governors of the naval stations in the | Mediterranean the exact condition of l the British naval forces andNto take into account the comparative forces of l France.
 Le Matin says: "Chamberlain'S visit
 to Malta will probably be extended to | Marseilles to synchronize with kru- | gers arrival. He hopes to call forth some ugly incidents so as to enable
 him to speak i'll of France. perhaps to
 make him popular in England" La Patrie says: 'The announce ment of the arrival of Chamberlain at 1 Malta is causing. uneasiness even in Italy. the alleged friend of England. | Chamberlain treats this Italian land
 of Malta as q simple crown colony,
 which ought to be Anglicized in lan- | guage customs and commerce and en-
 tirely deprived of Italian character | Then the Italian ill Malta will be
 worse off than the Italian in Tunis."

FLEECY CAME BY WAGON LOAD.
Cotton Came in At Lively Rate
Yesterday.

Yesterdays cotton receipts broke the
record for the season, the total reach
ing 1913 bales for the day. The several
warehouses were scenes of unusual ac-
tivlty, and the sale of the cotton thus
marketed turned something like 81, 900
of new money" into business channels
here. Prices are stiffening bit in
stead of declining. and cents was
easily obtained yesterday for good cot
ton while fancy article brought even
better price. The continued dry
weather and consequent killing of the
cotton plant. to some extent, is caleu
lated to send prices towards ten cents
shortly. In many of the fields in this
section the crop is already made and
not even a good rain could help it.

WILL sTARTLE THE PoPULACE.
City to Begin The CURLING of College
And Lee Streets.

It 1t were April list. The Times Re-
corder would not announce that the
work of curbing College and Lee
streets was actually to be started, but
the season forbids such levity and the
statement is made as cold and solemn
truth. Early Tuesday morning the
street force will begin hauling the
granite slabs from the depot yard to
College street, and within two weeks
that thoroughfare will be graded and
curbed. It was suggested yesterday
that the occasion be made one of pomp
and ceremony, but as the time is too
short to prepare a barbecue, hire a
band and learn speeches the work will
be inaugurated with the same quiet
simplicity as characterized the placir g
of the Pantone light and the DISPOSE
ton of the dog ordinance.

WILL INSPECT LIGHT INFANTRY
Maj. WHY Will Instruct Men in Tar
get Practice.

Members of the Americas Light In
fantry are very enthusiastic at the idea
of sending a crack team to Savannah to
participate in the rife contest of the
State troops, and this subject is upper
most in all discussions among them.
An excellent range has been provided
here, and with this week practicing for
the State contest will begin in earnest.
Major R. L, Wylly, commanding the
Second battalion of the Fourth regi-
ment, will visit Americas next Tues
day, and on that evening will instruct
the Light Infantry in rifle practice.
The company numbers some expert
marksmen, and the home team will
doubtless make record on the Avon
dale range in Savannah.

THIS LEGAL LIGHT Has MONEY.
Practiced Farming as Well as Black
stone This Year.

Some Americas lawyers are prone to
decry the times and to think that bus
mess is not what it used to be, but
Col. Jim Williams is not of these, or
at least he makes business of other
lines than the law. Between courts
this year Col. Williams planted a cot
ton patch, and has since seen it bios
som into fruitful and feecy maturity.
Yesterday he sold several bales of cot
ton from that patch, and with pardon
able pride but without ostentatious
exultation exhibited to his briefless
and bale-less brethren at the temple a
roll of banknotes as large as a volume
of Blackstone. Really Col. Williams is
a good farmer as well as a good law
yer, and his example is one worthy of
profound study and immediate and
active emulation.
