Those who best knew Mr.. Endicott,
Helen's father and the head of the
great banking firm, said that one of
the reason for his success in business
and finance was that his mind once
made up no obstacle could deter him
from carrying out anything he
planned. Perhaps brown-eyed Helen
inherited this characteristic. At any
rate, a few days later she was sudden
ly missed from the smart set" of
which she haG been a member since
her coming out Her friends were
vaguely told that she was resting in
the country" the exact place selected
for her rest being something of a mys-

appearance of Helen Endicott from So

certainly bore a remarkable resem-
blance to her, registered under the
name of Helen Morton at one of the
hotels of a we'll known mountain re-
sort.
1t is one thing to be known as Miss
Endicott. an heiress and a member of
New York's most exclusive set. 1t is
quite another to be an unknown Miss
Morton at a summer resort where the
few men in attendance are either mar
ried or engaged. Helen, a stranger to
all at the hotel, found time hung rath-

receive the many small attentions so

before he left the city the head of the
great banking house in which Bobby
was employed had praised his work
and promised him promotion to the

fought a hard battle since his gradua-

the court-martial in his case has been
the subject of very extended comment
in a wide circle of territory.
Tonight there will be a meeting of
the Oglethorpes just after the regi-
mental meeting at which the question
of disbanding will be discussed, and
some action probably taken looking to
that end, though it is certain that no
direct steps will be taken at the meet
ing. The question will be up for dis
cussion, and final measures will no
doubt be postponed until the next reg
ular meeting Monday night.
A good number of the members are
merely waiting for a word of assent
from Capt. Hitch to take a vote to dis
band. There are still others who will
refuse to vote for such action under
any circumstances, and who will en-
deavor to hold as many members as
possible as a nucleus on which to re-
build the Oglethorpes.
Capt. Hitch left yesterday for Ma
con, where he will attend the annual
meeting of the Grand Lodge of Ma
sons. 1t is expected that he will give
out statement replying, upon his re-
turn, to the order and the spirit which
has dominated the action of the court

BIG DEMAND WILL
ABSORB COTTON CROP.
At Prices Between 8 and 10 Cents
Thinks Thomas Sinclair.

Thinks Thomas Sinclair.
Mr.. Thomas Sinclair of New York,
a representative of the firm of Sic
denburg & Co., cotton brokers of that
city, was in Savannah yesterday, and
a visitor on the floor of the Cotton
Exchange. Mr.. Sinclair is on a trip
through a part of the belt and, after
spending some days here will go
westward.
From what he has seen of the Car
olinas and Georgia he is satisfied that
large crop is assured this year, but
this, he says, does not mean that
prices are again. going to the old
levels, reaching in former years when
large crops were made.
He belieevs that even with a crop
of II, 500 900 bales it will average be-
tween and 10 cents on the market.
He bases this belief on the fact that
at the opening of this season stocks
were very small at the mills and
stocks of manufactured goods were
also unusually small; further that
Manchester has bought very heavily,
and Eastern and Southern mills will
need a very large amount of cotton to
carry them through the season.
Altogether Mr.. Sinclair takes a very
hopeful view of the outlook and thinks
the Southern planter will make as
much money this year as he did last
one of the most prosperous years in
the cotton planting business.

Sparks Caused Another Cotton Fire
mt One of the Congresses.
Sparks from the smokestack at the
lower compress. it is believed, set fire
to cotton in five or six places at the
same time yesterday morning. An
alarm was turned in from Box 73 and,
though the firemen met with a series
of accidents on the way to the fire
the flames were extinguished before
much damage had been done. About
twenty bales We're damaged more or
less.
The rear axle of Hose Wagon No.
was broken while going down the
hill at Broughton and East Boundary
streets at rapid rate. The firemen
IN the wagon jumped and ESCAPED in

shaken up. Foreman Rogers hurried

from there was at once started.
AT Lincoln and Broughton streets
wagon No. 2 also met with an acct
dent. A dog which ran in front of
the horses tripped the horse on the
le1t and 1t fell to the pavement. Driv-
er kilroy was thrown from his seat
by the sudden stop. He had his Shout
DER bruised and a thumb knocked out
OF place. Assistant Superintendent
Mouro ran into an excavation at Bay
and Randolph streets and had the
axle of his buggy so badly twisted
that he was delayed in reaching the
fire.
The fact that the fire started in
several places at once made fighting

amount to several hundred dollars
