DUN's TRADE REVIEW.

New York. Aug 7.-R. G. Dun & Co. s weekly review of trade tomorrow VIII say:
 The advices from nearly every section continue to show as favorable conditions as a year ago, and in many lines the ed Jobbers report fall business opening with excellent prospects and manufac- turing plants are well occupied with the exception of cotton mills. Distribution of merchandise is so heavy that railway equipment already proves inadequate, although crops are not the factor that they will be in few weeks. Earnings for July exceeded last years by R.7 per cent and those of 1901 by 20.2 per cent. On the whole, news from the farms IS less favorable, but no serious curtail- ment is assured and many sections make very bright reports. A decline of I.5 per cent in the cost of commodities during JIIIv is evidence that prices are less in- Hated. since the change was mainly in meats and other food which have been ruling at abnormal positions. Consump- tion of iron and steel is on a large scale and in many departments the past week has witnessed the signing of numerous contracts, but there is a tendency to de- lay purchases beyond early needs. This conservatism is not surprising in view of the uncertainty regarding the security and financial markets, together with con- siderable interruption to structural work through labor controversies. The rate of consumption and the moderate size of or ders, however, indicate that stocks are men and mill operators to hold quota tions fairly steady.
 A moderate tonnage of pig iron has been ordered and in partly finished products the best feature just now is the bidding of agricultural implement makers. MoTe

who are wholly illiterate, according to the efficient standing. Taking the census fig- ures for the Southern States where the negro Is practically congested, it will be seen that in the black belt itself, and particularly in the fertile cotton and su- gar country, the ratio of illiteracy is higher than anywhere else. Wherever the negro can get at city he is apt to find a school, but the black people of the ru- ral districts in the South are almost who'll ly unprovided with means for educating their children.
 When have asked colored people why they wanted to get away from the coun- try, where they were well taken care of, to the city, where they live in novels, the invariable answer was that they hoped to educate their children and could not do so in the country. This desire for ed- ucation, which, in many instances, is merely an ignorant belief that education brings freedom from work, is widespread among the colored people, and whatever may be it's cause, the sentiment must be placed to the credit of the race.
 To point the moral. if net to adorn the tale, suppose We take note of the fact that the percentage of illiterate black people for some of the Southern States Is as follows: Louisiana, 72; Georgia,

CORRECTS MR. HEFLIN
LAWYER FOR TURNER MAKES A
 STATEMENT.
Hon. VI. N. Lackey of Dadeville Says Judge Jones Offered to Secure Another Judge to
 Try Case.

Hon. W. M. I.ackey of Dadeviile, leaA- ing counsel for Fletcher Turner. recenf@ ly tried in the United States Court for peonage. while in Montgomery yesterday voluntarily corrected rnisstatemsnts made by Hon. J. Tom Hefiin, Secretary of State. in his criticism of the trial judge, Hon. Thomas c. Jones.
 MT. Lackey gives Turner's reasons for pleading guilty and declares that Mfr. Hefin erred in saying that Judge Jones did not offer to have tine case tried before another judge, if the defendant waa dis satisfied with the charge of Judge Jones to the jury.
 The statement of MT. Lackey was brought by him to The Advertiser office where he requested that it be published.
 It is as follows:
 'T notice in Mfr. Helms article in fho papers a few days since that he makes the statement that Turner's attorney had said to him that Judge Jones did not tell me, the attorney, before Turner pleaded guilty, that he would get another judge to come and try the case.
 'Afr. Henin is evidently mistaken in this statement. am sure that am tho only one of the attorneys who had any conversation with Judge Jones relative to the matter of putting in the plea before the plea was put in, and Judge Jones stated to me that he did not want me 10 put tu6 pleA ltis IT cttusE A0yS14A or Turner had decided to put In .th0 plea on account of his attitude and what he had said during the progress of the trial of the cases, Judge Jones further said that if the cases were to be tried he would get another judge to come and try them; that he would not. if he could help 1t. try any man who thought that he, the judge. had any personal feeling against him in the matter.
 T remarked to Judge Jones that we did not want another judge. and that, ia fact, the attitude of the court had noth- ing to do with our putting in the plea: that it was a matter of leaving my client with something to live on and making living for his family; that under the law as declared by the court, my client was unquestionably guilty.
 T think made substantially this state ment to several gentlemen when Mir. Hef- lin was present, and he evidently misun- derstood me-"

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
WEST AND SOUTH OPTIMISTIC
 OVER CROP PROSPECTS.
Staple Prices are Arifting Lower and the Value of Food Products is Also on the Down. ward Trend.

New York. Aug. 7.--Bradstreet's to- morrow will say;
 Summed up in a sentence. 1t may be said that the past week in trade and in- dustry 1t satisfactorily secured, while the future, despite some mainly sentimental drawbacks, is highly promising. Divided geographically, 1t is to be noted that the East feels the effect of speculative liaui- dalton and the dulling effects of strikes, while the West and South contemplate the prospects of good yields of staple crops. and remunerative prices for the same with confidence, and even optimism,
 Staple prices are drifting lower. Food products certainly tend lower.
 The dry goods season has opened well in New York in all lines except cotton goods. For the first time in weeks, some thing approaching life is seen in the iron trade. Sales of pig iron have been the heaviest since the spring, some of this being for the last quarter of the year and some for next years delivery. Other large orders impend.
 Shoe manufacturers are doing large business, as measured by Eastern ship ments, and reports are that Western, par ticuIarly St. Louis manufacturers, have all that they can handle.
 Railway earnings thus far reported for the month of July indicate a gain of 14 per cent over the same month year ago anu InoFeIOT6 IO IulS 0AISnL are t1lc best ever reported for that month.
 Hides are easier and steam sizes of anthracite coal weakened perceptibly.
 Refined sugar is in active demand, the best weeks business so far being re- ported. Tn addition to sales of 100000 tons of pig iron at Chicago, it is noted that the tone of the Pittsburg market is bet ter and finished steel products, notably bar and structural, are more in demand.
 Trade in merchant pipe, steel sheets wire and tin plates is claimed to be bet ter than last year. Lumber is active at the West, but new enterprises. involving its use at the East, are held up by fiflan- cial uncertainties.
 Reports of car shortage troubles are in- creasing, the latest sufferer being the Western lumber trade.
 Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending August 6. aggregate 3,040, = 629 bushels, against 3,191. AZ last week; B. 244,363 this week last year and S,S31,1 in 1901 and 3,31s,76O in 1900.

Clubwomen are working in many
states for forest preservation. They
have taken an active part In the agita-
ton in Pennsylvania, which has result
ed in the preservation Of 700,0 00 acres
Of forest lands, placing that state at
the head Of all in this matter. The
Woman's club at Wilkesbarre has been
especially interested, securing the sp-
pointment Of a forester TO care for for

The Maine federation has a commit

and Delaware are trying to save their
evergreens, OF which the states are be-
ing denuded at Christmas time. Now
Jersey wants to raise a fund Of 500, 900
for forestry parks along the palisades.
Clubwomen of Wisconsin have planted

years. Minnesota women. says the De-

MISFORTUNE OF AN HEIREss.
Title Because she was o
Born . hoy.

The recent visit of King Edward to
the Island of Arren, on the ri of
Scotland, recalls the extraordinary
luck of the present duke of Hamilton.
and the misfortune of the owner of
Arran in not being born a boy, OBJ
serves the Chicago Record-Herald. TIE
present duke succeeded, TO the title in
the most rounda bout way. He is de
scended from the fourth duke, and his
line branched OF in 1742 when Lord
Anne Hamilton (who had been named
after Queen AIMEE married. The
senior branch Of the Hamiltons from
the fifth to the twelfth dukes, after
reigning 17S years, became extinct in
the male line, leaving plain Alfred
Douglas Hamilton the dukedom. The
late duke, whose mother vas a
princess of Baden, and whose sister be-
came princess of Monaco, left an only
daughter, who is now IS. She owns
almost the whole Of Arran, which is
one of the most beautiful spots in the
United Kingdom and has not become

POLICE COURT.
Two Fighters Showed Up Before Judge
Crawford This Morning.

Jesus Perea, a common drunk from
the republic of Mexico, who has only
been in the city for a few days, was
sent owe to the county Jail by Judge
Crawford for attempting to make an
assault on Jose Chavey with an old
wagon tire. Both men had owe
reached their drinking capacity and
became involved in a quarrel in which
an enlarged vocabulary of pure, simple
Spanish profanity was used. When
they had exhausted their supply OF
cuss words Perea picked up the piece
of sharp iron and would have run his
unarmed victim through had not by
ISLANDERS interrupted. The row occur
red on First street in front of Pascual's
place last evening about 6 o'clock.
When they were brought out of the
jail this morning their demoralized ap-
pearance was a sight to behold. The
stern words Of the Judge echoed
through their aching heads several
times before they were fully awake to
the performance. Jose Chaves paid a
fine Of IS for being drunk, and his
would-be slayer was sentenced to sixty
days in the county Jail.
