murphy & Co... stock Letter.

New York, Aug 29-The market in
the forepart of the day showed con-
siderable irregularity, and for time
the trading element was inclined to
close out long accounts in view of
long suspension of business. The rank
and file of the Street at first failed
to wholly grasp the significance of
Secretary Shaw's plan for temporarily
increasing national bank note circula-
ton during the active crop movement.
In the afternoon the temper of spec
ulatio changed entirely. and buoyancy
was developed in many directions. The
rise was not even checked by the rise
in call money to per cent. The late
movement in stocks was predicted on
the theory that reductions in loans and
deposits would go far this week to-
ward offsetting the heavy loss in cash
as affecting the surplus reserve in to-
morrow's statement. The opinion gain
ed ground, however, that the co-opera-
ton of the banks with the Treasury
Department would prevent serious
monetary stringency. There was ex-
tensive trading in Union Pacific, with
advances of over 1 per cent in both
issues. The Readings were also prom
inent for strength and activity. Rock
Island was the leader in the grangers,
selling up 4 per cent. Atchisons were
also strong. Pennsylvania gained
nearly 2 per cent; other strong fea-
lures included Great Northern, Louis
Vile and Nashville and some of the
specialties. Among the industrials
Colorado Fuel and Iron f1uctuated err
radically, while Sloss showed an up
ward tendency. Copper rose over 1
per cent. and held most of it. Con-
tinental Tobacco gained sharply. West
ern Union showed material improve
ment. The local traction group adj
vanced 1 per cent. The market closed
strong and active.

ditions thus caused by the redemption
Of government bonds. Prices of the
bonds have declined materially since
the withdrawal of the government
redemption order. They have risen
again since the note expansion plan
was discussed and to-day the bid
prices of the As of 1925 jumped IA per
cent, indicating the scanty floating
supply and the difficulties of bank note
expansion. The encouraging effect
upon sentiment in the discussion of
this project was supplemented by the
belief that the language of the circular
issued by the Southern Railway vot-
ing trustees could be accepted as in
dicating the institution of the project
for a Southern railroad merger. There
were the uusal rumors also of an early
settlement of the anthracite strike.
The buying of Union Pacific was at
tributed to a desire on the part of in
siders to encourage the conversion of
bonds into stock. There were some
points of irregularity in the market

American Bicycle securities, including
the bonds upon which action on the

panied by reports that ii was due to

spicuous for activity and gained

THE VETERANS of FLORIDA.

Tampa Times: A meeting was held
in the Council chamber yesterday aft
ernoon for the purpose of making ar
engagements and appointing the neces-
sary committees for the reception, en-
tertainment, etc, for the Confederate
veterans, who will be here in Novem-
Der to attend the annual reunion of
the state division of the United Con-
federate Veterans. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the Loring
Camp, Confederate veterans, the
Daughters of the Confederacy and Sons
of Veterans. All organizations had a
large number of members present,
while there were a large number of
business and professional men in the
hall. Many matters pertaining to their
reunion were discussed. Capt. Walton
stated what progress had already been
made. The Tampa Bay Casino had
been engaged for the reunion, and that
we could expect not less than 5000 Wis
itors here on that occasion. He sin
cerely believed that a number of the
most prominent Confederate veterans
of the country would be here on that
OcCa sion.

A vICARIoUs ATONEMENT.

Tampa Tribune: An example of self
sacrifice that had scarcely ever been
excelled is now being daily exhibited
in the city street gang. Because she
had a large family dependent upon
her for support and in need of her con-
slant attention, Frank Terhune volun-
tarily took upon himself the burden of
serving out the sentence of Mary Cole;
and while Mary is with her little ones,
Frank labors daily on the streets,
convict through magnanimity rather
than crime. Both parties are colored.
They were mere acquaintance when
they went before Judge Gordon to an
swer charges of disorderly conduct.
Each was sentenced to twelve days on
the gang" When Terhune had fin
ished his term Mary had served four
days of hers, and had eight more be-
fore her. She told Terhune of her chill
dren-how they were suffering for her
care and attention. Without a mo-
ment's hesitation Terhune asked per-
mission of the police authorities to
serve out the remaining eight days of
Marys term, in order that she might
go home. On learning of the circum-
stances, the unusual request was grant
ed. And this is why Terhune is a sort
of hero among his fellow prisoners
and an Individual of special interest
with the police. His self-assumed term
at hard labor, for the sake of others,
will end Friday, and he will leave the
gang" with the consciousness of having
played the part of a benefactor-a part
none the less noble because it's stage
was the police barracks and the chain
gang,

TO GUARD AGAINST FRAUD.

Augusta Tribune: The sub-commit-
tee has plan to amend the registra-
ton law of the city which is no doubt
an excellent one, both simple and
practical and which will make il al
most impossible for any one to cast a
fraudulent ballot. The plan is that the
registration clerk in each ward be fur
nished with blank slips on which to
register voters. The clerk would
write the voters name on the top line.
age, and residence on the others and
the voter himself sign the slip on the
bottom line. These slips could be
filed in alphabetical order on separate
files and when the registration was
completed it would be an easy mat
ter for the clerk to copy them in
book and prepare his alphabetical list
of voters. Then these original slips
with the voters own signatures on
them could be turned over to the cleo
ton managers for comparison on the
day of election in the event that any
doubt arose about the identity of
voter or a question of illiteracy the
slips would be ready reference to de-
sect fraud.

the question of three Floridians sup
posed to be most fully capable of Civ
ing the facts. One answered $50, one
200 and one 800. The census of 1900
guesses the number at about 500.
The truth Is, no white man knows.
The Indians carefully conceal such
knowledge as they think might be
useful to the government in any at
tempt at removal, and 1t is mainly for
this reason that they refuse an allow
ance, which must be preceded by
count. They have no confidence in the
good faith or good intentions of either
the state or nation-they remember
that no treaty has been kept, no prom
Use regarded. and they prefer to re-
main hidden so far as they may. A
few white men have gained their con-
fidence but these imbibe the distrust
of the Indian, as they prefer the ways
of the uncivilized to our progress.

THE POULTRY INDUSTRY.

The Darien Gazette: From the fig
ures of the last census we find that
Mcintosh county has fewer poultry
than any county in the state, with
Glynn and Chatham close followers.
There were in the state 1924 poul-
try of all kind, producing 11,522, 7SS
eggs, or an average Of about 2-3 doz-
en- per head of poultry. The twenty
counties which produce the largest
number of eggs (of which Mcintosh
is one of them) comparatively aver
age about "a dozen, while the 20 low
est counties average about 5-6 dozen
eggs per fowl. These figures look
small. but we must allow for eggs used
for setting as we'll as those used which

includes ducks, turkeys and geese
whose eggs are few and seldom find
their way to market. Mcintosh coun-
ty is likely paying as little attention
to poultry as any county in the state
and still with 1927 head of poultry
she produces 1920 dozen of eggs, or
an average of about 10 dozen, which
shows that she is far above the aver
age as a poultry county, while the
market price is always good, besides
being in reach of Savannah and Bruins

The steamboat Louise brought the
Button yesterday. Two bales were

duce much, and the receipts are small.
The steamboats, bring all that is rails
ed there.
Capt. H. A. Strobhar, general man.
ager of the Georgia-Carolina Naviga-
ton Company, stated yesterday that
reports to him indicated a moderate
cotton crop around Button, and that
the boats will have to rely upon other
classes of freight. This they can do,
however, for instead of hauling cot
ton, canned oysters and other things
come from that end of the line while
goods are constantly being shipped to
merchants and others at Bluffton.
The first steamer of the Hansa Line,
|. the Kilbride, arrived yesterday. This
line will have regular monthly sail
ings from Savannah to Bremen.
The demand for steam tonnage con-
tinues exceedingly light, and is con-
fined almost exclusively to the gen.
eral cargo and grain trades from South
Atlantic and Gulf ports. In all other
trades orders are scarce and an abund-
ance of tonnage offers. For sail ton
mage the demand is generally light and
rates quotably unchanged. Some few
orders are in the market for lumber
and ties from the South, but vessels
for this business are rather difficult

HOW HE LOST A FORTUNE.

Washington Reporter: Mr. James
Hughes of Yokum, Tex, formerly
Wilkes county resident. is spending
some time here visiting relatives. He
left here thirty years ago, and since
that time has been railroading in the
Lone Star State" Some years ago
Mr.. Hughes lived at Beaumont, Tex.
He says that Spindle Top, on which
the famous oil wells are located, was
offered to him for 81 per acre, but that
actually he would not have paid the
taxes on it, so worthless was it con-
sidered. The story of Spindle Top is
too fresh in the minds of the public
to bear repeating. Suffice to say
had Jim's foresight been as good as
his hindsight, he would have been the
oil king of America.

HoRsE KILLED UNDER HIM.

Fernandina News: Joseph Sutton,
while on his way from ]. w. Keen's
to Crawford on horseback last Friday
evening, had a very narrow escape
from being killed by lightning. His
horse is said to have been struck in
the face by the electric bolt and in
stantly killed, and Mr. Sutton was
knocked dead for quite a long time,
but came to, and found himself ly-
ing between the legs of the dead horse.
1t is said Mr.. Sutton's watch chain
had had the plating melted off of it,
and that his arm, which must have
been touching the chain. was blistered,
also that his legs, where they came
in contact with the horse below the
saddle, were blistered.

ANOTHER ESCAPE RE-CAUGHT.

Albany Herald: All but two of the
quartette of prisoners who made their
escape from Dougherty county jail a
week ago are again behind the bars.
John Henry Wilburn and viii Robin
son were captured at Parrot on Mon
day, and Wednesday Doll Johnson was
returned to the prison from which he
took French leave. Johnson was cap
tured in Baker county by Mr.. c. E.
Adams, a well-known farmer who
lives about fifteen miles below Albany.
Mr.. Adams learned severals days ago
that johnson was hiding somewhere in
the upper part of Baker, and straight
way set to work to effect his capture.
MIR. Adams worked on the case sue
cessfully, and yesterday evening made
johnson his prisoner. The negro was
taken by surprise, and before he re-
covered his wits was on his way to
Albany with Mr.. Adams. He was
placed back in Jail about midnight,
and it is safe to say that neither he
nor any other prisoners incarcerated
with him will again soon break out
Charlie Whitehead and John Watson
are the only of the escaped prisoners
still at large
