PRICE OF MEAT
IS STILL RISING
ALL THE PAPERS AND TOWN
COUNCILS IN GERMANY ARE
DISCUSSING WHAT THEY TERM
THE MEAT FAMINE.

Berlin. August SO.-The price Of meat
In Germany continues to rise. and the
town councils and other bodies and the
newspapers in every part of the empire
are discussing what is called the meat
famine" The butchers guilds advanced
the price of meat this week from 21kQ5
cents per pound. good steak costs "A
cents a pound In Berlin. Markets gem
orally are reported statistically % per
cent higher here now than in 1900, all
though in Rotterdam, Paris. Vienna and
Budapest they are only 10 to 16 per cent
higher. Germany's more rapid advance Is
attributed to the scarcity OF home ami
mails. the exclusion of foreign livestock
and the prohibition of canned meats. thus
suspending large American imports
Hamburg figures show that the imports
of American salt and smoked meats in
1901 were only 12s.s0O metric hundred
weights, against 305, 800 in 1898. Sausages
have shrunk in theisame time from 49,,
900 to $1,000 metric hundredweight and
American canned meats from 366, 300 to
10000 metric hundred weight. Berlin
Slaughtered in July 5110 fewer animals
than in July 1901 in spite Of the increas-
ing population and the slaughterings
were further diminished in August. The
official authorities of the Kingdom of
Saxony report a 5 per cent decrease in
the slaughterings since 1901 and a great
lack Of ANIMALS suitable for butchering.

ATHENS.
Voters of the Eight District Pay Col
oneI Sanders a Compliment.

Athens. August 30.-(Special.)- those
is likely to be done Col. w. T. Sanders
of this place In connection with the se-
lection of state committeeman for the
eighth district in the recent primaries.
Colonel Sanders was in no sense can
didate and declined to allow his name to
be printed on the ticket. He left the
state the latter part of July to travel
with his son, who was recovering from
serious Illness, and was absent during
the entire month of August up to the day
preceding the primaries.
Although his name was not ON the
ticket. many friends In various counties
undertook to vote for him anyhow and
wrote his name on the tickets after they
had been printed and sent cut. This was
done without Colonel Sanders knowl-
edge. In this way he received several
thousand votes in the district as an in
dorsement of bis course as a committee
man. This is significant In view of the
fact that Colonel Sanders strongly OPP
posed the primary and was the only
member of the state committee to vote
against the plan on the final vote. The
vote that Colonel Sanders received is the
greatest compliment to him. and the
democracy of the eighth district would
have bren glad to retain him on the COM
mittee and regrets that he would not
consent to serve longer.

county comes the statement that a neigh

last year has made seven bales this year.
and that there is not another boil green
or otherwise In his fields.
Some say that the present rains will
do much good, as cotton always makes
mp to September 10. Others claim that the
dry spell has made the staple loose in
the bolls, and that the rain and wind is
knocking out great deal OF the open
cotton. The wind of Thursday did consid-
cradle damage on the Weaver place,
about seven miles from the city. In
other sections there " as but little wind
and conse quently little damage.
There has been received of the new crop
about 400 bales of cotton in Selma, and
