BRADsTREET's WEEKLY REPORT
Conditions still Uneven But Drift Is
Towards Improvement.

Conditions still Uneven But Drift Is
Towards Improvement.
New York. Sept. 11.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say
Trade conditions are still uneven. but
the general drift is toward improve
ment. A more assured feeling as to
the corn crop out turn is manifest,
conditions in most states having inn
proved since Sept. l.
State fairs and low rate excursions
have stimulated Western distribution,
while good prospects for corn, cotton,
rice and sugar at the South have
made cheerfulness in that section.
Eastern trade advices are of less no.
table activity, but signs of improve
ment in the cotton mill situation are
seen. Some heavy sales of print cloths
are reported, and a number of mills
have announced an approaching early
resumption of operations.
The lumber market shows some con-
traStS in different sections. In the
West lumber and building material of
all kinds is active and firm, but at the
East the resumption of building opera
tons at strike-infested cities has not
been sufficient to keep those markets
strong. The iron trade is rather pessi-
mistic, buyers persisting in holding off,
but the declines in Northern and West
ern iron reported this week are large
ly sympathetic. anGs result of the re-
ported additional outs in the South

HOW HERMAN MILLER HAS
WORKED HIS WAY UP
First Attracted Attention in Contest With George
Dixon

Few people who have watched Her
man Miller's career here for the last
six months are familiar with his past
record in the ring. and it will not be
amiss, in view of his coming contest
with Farren to mention briefly some of
the incidents i'm his career as a boxer.
Miller is IS years of age. His first
appearance in the ring was with
George Dixon, who at that time was
showing through the country offering
$50 to any one who would stay four
rounds with him. one afternoon Miller
met him and not only staid with him,
but made such good showing that
he was offered 500 to meet Dixon on
Thursday night. Miller at once ac-
cepted the offer and succeeded in go
ing the distance and holding his own
with the champion.
Al HEREFORD of Baltimore who has
handled the best men in the country,
saw in Miller likely young fellow,
secured him and under his manage
ment Miller has appeared in nearly all
the boxing centers in this country
with fair success. To give a list of
the men that Miller has met during
his career in the ring would take up
too much time and space, but few

THR0UGH-LOCAL. BOARDS
WAR WILL BE WAGED.
State Board of Health Is for Com
pulsory Vaccination.

pulsory Vaccination.
Atlanta Sept. 1.-THE State Board
of Health decided to-day to take charge
of the smallpox situation in the state,
through the local health boards and
passed a resolution on compulsory vac
cination. The board is unanimous for
for compulsory vaccination.
The resolution offered by DR.. ]. B.
Morgan of Augusta was adopted, as
follows: Resolved that the smallpox
question be referred to the Executive
Committee but that it is the senti-
ment of the board that vaccination
should be compulsory and that where
infection now exists, or at any future
time shall exist, this board directs the
local authorities to proceed at once
with compulsory vaccination"
For the purpose of getting the health
situation of the state in good work.
ing order the state board urges the
formation of local health boards in all
communities which are now without
them. The following resolution on this
subject was also unanimously passed:
Resolved, that the secretary of the
state board shall communicate with
the Board of County Commissioners or
ordinary of any county, or with the
Mayor or other chief executive of any
city, town or village of this state not
already having local boards of health,
with view of urging upon them the
Importance of appointing some person
or persons to serve as local health
officers for their respective jurisdic-
'tions, the said local board to act in
cooperation with and under the adj
vice of the State Board of Health"
From these two resolutions may be
gathered something of the general pol
icy of the State Board of Health which
is to act in thorough harmony every
where with the local health authori-
ties.
The board adopted the United States
census plan for collecting and tabu-
lating vital statistics. Rules and reg
ulations, modelled principally after
those of Ohio, were adopted, providing
for all features incident to the work
of health boards, though the laws and
rules of the health boards of Maine,
Michigan, Connecticut and New York
were also drawn upon.
DR.. Charles Hicks of Dublin was
elected vice president of the board.
The secretary, Dr. H. F. Harris, will
be provided with an office and a lab
Oratory room in the Capitol at once.
The board adjourned, to meet again in
January
