NEW YORK Aug. S1.-New York is

took care of the crowd Of what has
come to be known as Bryan Week.
Such a crowd is seldom seen, and
when it comes to New York it comes
to a city that is already full.
This sounds strange to say ofia city
in the middle of summer, when the va
cation habit has been so industriously
cultivated that it is hard to find a
businessman who is not away on his
vacation, and the city is commonly
pronounced empty. But the class that
goes out of the city in summer is COM
paratively small in numbers, and there
is a whole cityful left behind. But
New York has become a city of
sightseeing, and the number of people
who come here to look around to see
the great things of New York, is very
large, and is increasing every day.
So the hotel-keepers, before they
were confronted with the great prob
lem of the Bryan rush of people, who
came from every state in the Union
said, that the hotels were already
full and so were the boarding houses,
but when the Bryan throngs came

ing that they each and all have sucn

to assume as much fiexibility as if they

Why Roads Should Be Improved.

There are many striking examples of
the value of good roads. Wherever
roads have been permanently improved
it is found that there has been very
great increase in value Of the adjacent
property, says the Good Roads Maya
zine Among examples Of this sort is
that Of Jackson, Tenn. From figures
recently published it is shown that
since 1900 the city has increased 5000
in population. The roads were i'm
proved through issuing bonds to start
with, and they have advertised the city
so much that families are constantly
coming in from adjoining counties,
with the result that land values have
Increased in some cases from 20 to
100 per cent Property in the city has
also greatly increased in value.

Greatest Cotton Year in History

CHARLOTTE. n. c.. Aug. 31.-Ac-
cording to the statistics for the wear
ending today the past year has been
the greatest cotton year in the history
of this country. The crop was large
and not only were a large number of
new cotton mills built during the year
but also many other manufacturing
establishments which use cotton as a
raw material. The consumption of
cotton has also greatly increased by
the many additions which have been
made during the past year.

up but little in making the turn. They all cut
the engine out when almost at the bottom of

skidded about at full speed and went up the
hill at tremendous pace. The American drivers
did not do this and lost considerable valua BILE

The first excitement came when Weillschott

everything but come together. Weillschott
jumped ahead. leaving Clement as If he were
standing still. 1t was shortly afterward that
Weillschott was wrecked on the Manhasset
