DEMAND FOR MILEAGE
BOOKS ON DECLINE
Americus Offices Have Few Calls
For Them Now.

At the Americus offices of both the
Seaboard and the Central, the demand
for mileage books has taken de-
cided drop since the new passenger
rate became effective. At one of the
offices only one book was called for
yesterday. interchangeable mileage
books are no longer good on the Wes
tern & Atlantic, the Atlanta and West
Point, the Atlantic Coast Line, the
Charleston and Western Carolina and
the Georgia railroad, all of these
roads being required to sell tickets
at less than 1-2 cents per mile, the
rate at which the interchangeable
books were sold. To recognize these
tickets would subject the roads to
prosecution for charging more than
the prescribed rate. Such tickets are
good, however, on the other railroads
of the state on which they have been
good hitherto.

BOOST; DON'T KNOCK
Kansas City Host Invades The

NORFOLK, VA, Sept 4.-Bearing a
banner reading "If You Can't Boost,
Don't Knock" and headed by band
of forty pieces, hundreds of citizens
of the metropolis at the mouth of the
Kaw marched into the jamestown ex-
position grounds this morning to cele-
brate Kansas City day at the big fair
Characteristic Of the community they
represented, the visitors Immediately
proceeded to "show 'em" ia the ex-

place in the Missouri state building,
a handsome structure fronting on
Hampton Roads. The edifice was
elaborately decorated for the occasion
and bouquets of roses were distributed
as favors among the lady visitors
The program included addresses by
United States Senator Warner, ex-
Governor David H. Francis, Attorney
General Hadley and other well known
Missourians. Many Missouri Eagles,
in attendance at the national conven-
tion of the order, joined in the celebra-
tion.

EXCHANGE is OPENED HERE
MERICUS WAREHOUSES; GET MARKET QUOTATIONS
Local Company Accepts Charter and Ready for Observation-Disclosures
Having an Exchange in AmeriCuS

An important meeting of the Am
ericus Cotton Exchange was held on
Wednesday morning, at which the
charter for the association was ac-
cepted and constitution adopted. The
organization of this exchange by the
business men of Americus means
much not only for the cotton business
of this section, but for all other lines
of business.
The continuous publication of the
prices of stocks, bonds, cotton, grain
and farm produce keeps the banker
and the merchant posted upon their
quotations, and assures to the farmer
the best prices for all that he raises.
The object of the exchange is not
pecuniary gain, and no purchase or
sale of any cotton, stocks, bonds or
other commodity is effected therein,
but is maintained entirely at the ex-

After a tour of inspection through
Middle and South Georgia Commits
sioner Thomas G. Hudson tells a
truly alarming story as to the condi-
ton of the cotton crop He says it
will be damaged in Georgia by from
25 to 40 per cent. His view is based
upon actual conditions as he observed
them, and is not prompted by any eff
fort he says, to boost the price or bull
the market.
'The cotton crop in Georgia will
not exceed 100000 bales" said
Commissioner Hudson.
"Three weeks ago there was every
reason to believe that we would raise
between 100000 and 100000, but
the farmers of the state will be lucky
if the crop yields million and a half
bales, in my opinion.
L have never in all my experience
with farming seen such havoc done in
so short a time" he continued. The
cotton crop in many sections has been
literally burned up, and everywhere it
has been damaged more or less by the
heat and drouth. Some of it looks as
if fire had been built and burned
under the stalks.
"In three weeks time the crop has
deteriorated anywhere from 25 to 40
per cent, and the deterioration may
increase, unless the hot wave is brok-
en- and we have plenty of rain

quotations and other information that
can be obtained in no other way
The constitution adopted is model
ed after that of the Exchange at Au-
gusta, and will be operated to a large
extent in manner similar to the Au-
gusta and Savannah Exchanges. A
committee has been appointed to
place these facts before the business
men of Americus and to solicit mem
bership in the Exchange.
The initiation fee is fixed at ten
dollars, which entities the member
to a share of stock in the Exchange
and which is transferable only after
the membership has reached fifty.
The monthly dues have not yet been
assessed.
At the next meeting, which will be
held on Tuesday 10th, all permanent
officers will be elected.

TRIAL OF PETTIBONE
ENTERED ON TODAY
Case Promises of National
Interest
STATEPOSSESSESuTTLE EVIDENCE
Man Connected With the Murder of
Governor of IdahO--hearing
Will Cover Several
Days.

BOISE, IDAHO, Sept 4.-The term
of court which opened here today
will be rendered of national impor-
tance by the trial of George Petit
borne, who, with Secretary Hay
wood and President Meyer of the
Western Federation of Miners, was
indicted for the murder of eX-Gover-
nor Sternbery. Judge Wood will
attempt to clear the calendar as far
rs possible before beginning the Pet
tibone trial, which has been set for
Tuesday, October l.
Clarence Darrow, the Chicago at
torney who successfully defended Will
liam Haywood, will probably be the
chief counsel for the defense, Mr..
Pettibone having expressed himself
in Darrow's favor. E. H. Richardson,
the Denver attorney, it is said, will
not appear in the case.
The attorneys for the state are
now busily engaged in preparing ad-
ditional evidence in an effort to
secure the conviction of Pettibone
Unpreiudiced citizens of Boise be-
lieve that the evidence against Petit
bone is even weaker than that pro-
duced against Haywood and that the
| Denver merchant is sure of acquittal.
Senator Borah is quoted as saying
that President Meyer, who is now at
liberty on $25 1000 bond, will never be
| tried.
Attorneys for the prosecution admit
that they have little evidence tending
to implcate Meyer in the murder of
Steunenberg, and that his trial would
entail a useless expense on the al
ready overburdened people. 1t is ru-
mored that the Pettibone trial may
have to be postponed on account of
a lack of funds to follow up the pros
ecution
Other rumors are to the effect that
the Mine Owners association has
agreed to furnish the money needed.
If the trial should be put off, Petit
bones attorneys will demand bail for
their client. All of the 100000 appro-
priated for prosecuting the federation
leaders has been expended, and many
voters are up in arms against fur
ther great expense in cases where
Governor Gooding and other state Of
ficials have failed to make good their
allegations.
1t is likely that the matter will
again become an issue in Idaho's next
election, several prospective candi-
dates for state offices having already
| announced themselves as opposed to
what they term the "wasteful eX-
travagance" of the present administra-
ton.

HARTMAN is
A PROBLEM
Administration Still WOr-
ried Over Him
TO SUE OR NOT TO SUE
Many Hold That the UniOt and South
ern Pacific Combination is Helpful
and Not HurtfuI TO Commerce.
Should Be Left Alone.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept 4.-Mr.
Hartman and his railroad deals and
mergers have not been forgotten by
the President during his summer va
cation. This subject will be one of
the first things taken up for congider-
alton after the President re&elA--
Washington, early next month.
a prominent official who recently saw
Mr.. Roosevelt, the information was
given that a conference would be held
following the return of the President
to the White House, to determine
whether the government shall go into
the courts and attempt to set aside
some of the Hartman combinations,
particularly his Union Pacific-South-
ern Pacific deal, or acknowledge that
evidence has not been obtained to
justify prosecution.
To Discuss II In Message.
There is good reason to believe the
President will discuss the Hartman
case in his first message to the Six
tieth Congress, advancing it as a
powerful argument in favor of further
legislation to strengthen the inter
state commerce law. Before this mes
sage is written, however, the policy
with regard to the Hartman deals will
have been agreed upon, and the coun-
try probably will know whether the
Hartman mergers are to be attack
ed While there seems to have been
a general public clamor that the
courts be urged to pass upon these
acts of Mr.. Hartman, the administra-
tion appears to be at loss how to
proceed in the matter.
Civil Suits Contemplated.
That individuals associated with the
Hartman railroad management will
not be prosecuted criminally was de-
cided long ago; in fact, before the
President left Washington for his sum-
mer vacation. But final decision as
to whether civil suits shall be insti-
tuted to break up certain combinations
in restraint of trade, disclosed during
the inquiry of the Interstate Com
merce Commission into the matter,
and for which Mr.. Hartman and men
associated with him are supposed to
be responsible, is yet to be made. This
point will be settled at the October
conference.
1t is now known for a certainty that
if the administration makes an effort
to Smash Hartman" the Union Paci-
fic-Southern Pacific consolidation will
be the first point of attack. Accord
ing to the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, competition between these
two systems has been eliminated un-
der the Hartman management. Whe-
ther the merger is beneficent or other
wise in it's effect upon interstate trade
must be decided by the legal advisers
of the administration.

The cotton was full of moisture, and
gradually the hot wind dried out the
sap, leaving the plant to burn to
death.
Mr.. Hudson was asked as to his
opinion regarding the price of cotton
this fall,

he made. The reports from every
