Figures For Year Closed Show Hand
some Increase.
Savannah, Ga, Sept. 4-With the
closing of business this week Savan'
nah rounded out one of the most sue.
cessful seasons of it's history. The
total gross receipts were 1,,300, ,945,
against 1,158,663 bales, in 1901-02, a
gain of 142,291 bales Cotton from
new territory is the explanation of the
gain.
The season of 1903-04 opens under
unusual conditions. The new crop
is late and prices are high. By this
time last year the crop was coming in
at lively rate. This is not only
shown in the receipts, but also in the
bank clearings, which were $4,000, 900
for August, 1908, against $12,000,000
for August, 1902.
The new crop is beginning to move,
and the next day or two is expected
to find it we'll under way Spot mar
kets are higher and holders are max
ing strong efforts to rush their cotton
to market to get the permium exporters
are paying. 1t is believed that when
cotton begins to move in larger vol
ume prices may yield, hence the eager
ness of holders to market their crop
while prices are up.

Alleged imposition Upon People Of
ST. Louis.
ST. Louis, Sept. 4.-rl1unction pro.
ceedings instituted today by Attorney
General Grow before Judge Taylor. OF
the circuit court, reveal an apparent
attempt on the part of the LaClede
Gas Light company to regulate and
control prices Of gas ranges manufac.
tured and sold in St. Louis. The La.
Clede Gas company was recently sold
to the North American company OF
Philadelphia which is capitalized at
100000
The petition for an Injunction
charges that the LaClede GasIight com.
pany served notice on all st. Louis
manufacturers to the effect that their
ranges would have TO be sold at a
certain price or the gas company
would refuse to make connections free
of charge.
In discussing the proceedings At,
torney General Crow said:
THE restraining order we seek Is
nothing more than an effort to stop a
powerful monopoly from imposing UP.
on the people of st. Louis. The
scheme of the gas company is to in.
duce the manufacturers to sell ranges
of inferior quality which would cost
the consumer in gas bills 80 per cent
more than he now pays"

MURDER MOST FOUL.
Ben strouRe, Fulton County Farmer,
Slain In His Field.


Atlanta, Sept 4-The murder OF
Ben Stroupe, near Dunwody, in this
county, Wednesday afternoon, was one
of the most coId-blooded assassinations
that ever occurred in this section of
the state
Stroupe, who was a quiet and peace
able man, was in his corn field pull
ing fodder when two men slipped up
behind him and shot him nine times
with S8-cahber pistols. Eight of the
shots were fired from the rear and
only one bullet struck him in the front
of the body.
II is believed the murder grew out
of negroes trying to steal pears from
Stroupe's orchard.
The terrible tragedy was followed
by most heartrendlng scene when
the young wife discovered her hus-
bands dead body. She was found sit.
ting on the top of rail fence gazing
down upon the body IN frenzy bor-
dering onto madness.
The whole neighborhood is aroused
and Coroner Stamps says that if the
murderers are caught the people will
make short work of them. Posses of
citizens have been organized and the
woods searched in every direction.
