SOUND CONDITIONS
R. e. DUN'S SPECIAL REPORTS ARE
 VERY OPTIMISTIC.
Montgomery ia Among the Sixty Lead ing Cities That Have Issued Favorable Reports on Bua-
 1ness Conditions.

New York. Nov. 14.--Comparatively sound conditions in commercial and manufacturing interests are indicated by special reports to R. c. Dun & Co.,, from over sixty of the leading cities of the country. Conservatism In ac. cumultaing stock Is reported in most cases and there are many in which working hours are being reduced and men laid off, As a rule, however, the reduction in production is not great and is taken rather as a measure of precaution than because of greatly dl- unfinished orders.
 i Very favorable reports are received from many Southern points. especially from Richmond, Lynchburg, Whining ton, N. C.. Charleston. Columbia, Sa- vannah, Augusta. Mobile, Montgomery and Knoxville. Falling off in business is reported at Atlanta and Dallas and to limited extent at other points. The system of clearing house certif- icates is most extensively in use in Georgia, where they are accepted with out question in small denominations at Atlanta, Savannah. Macon and Au- gusta. From Columbia it is reported that the certificates are less acceptable to the farmers in payment for cotton and other crops. Knoxville reports ample funds on hand, but at Nashville clearing house certificates are being freely used. At Norfolk conditions have been somewhat eess favorable, the difficulty in negotiating exchange hav- | ing retarded the shipments of cotton | for a few days last week, but ship ments have improved this week and
 business in the cotton section is mov- l ing along as usual.
 l It Is notable that from nearly all points business failures are reported | to be only normal in number and col lections are better than would be fn- dicated by the stringent condition of | the money market

HIS SPEECH AT LAFAYETTE WILL
 BE IMPORTANT.
Wil1' Be Received Next Monday by Democratic Editors and Many NOtables-Bearing on Pres-
 identiaI Campaign.

Lafayette. Ind, Nov. 14.--One of the most notable gathering of Democrats ever held in this State will confront William Jennings Bryan in this city next Monday night and it is believed that the meeting will have an import ant bearing upon the Presidential cam paign of next year.
 Every Democratic editor in the State has been urged to be present and, In addition to- these, nearly all the big State leaders will be on hand. The list of speakers includes Thomas Tag gart Chairman of the Democratic Na- tional Committee and, in view of the fact that there has been considerable feeling between Mfr. Bryan and MT. Taggart in the past few years the presence of the latter win be signifi- cant as indicating that personal differ ences are not to be permitted to stand in the way of Democratic success.
 Mi. Bryan will reach Lafayette Sum day afternoon and will deliver an ad- dress before the Young Mems Chris tiau Association. Monday morning he will speak at the Indiana Soldiers Home and at o'clock in the afternoon will address the students of Purdue University These matters disposed of, tile serious political business of the oc- casion will be taken up at a confer ence with the Democratic editors and leaders at E'oU U cloch. AHS hdCuie oA this conference will probably not be made known. but it will. of course, have reference to lining up the forces in the State with a view to putting In- diana in the Democratic column in 1908. .-.- --.- .-..
 Following the conference will come the twelfth annual banquet of the Jackson Club of Lafayette The list of speakers include numerous Demo- cratic leaders in the State of Indiana; National Chairman Taggart and Con- gressman J. Thomas Hefiin of Alabama. The latter is the only speaker from without the State, excepting Mir. Bryan, who appears on the program. His subject will be "The Man of the Hour'' and 1t is believed that he will deliver an address which will inspire enthusi- asm for Bryan throughout the HooSier State. J. R. H.

CASES POSTPONED
wRITs INVOLVING LEGISLATION ACTS GO OVER.
Three Actions An Supreme Court of Interesting Character Are Com tfnued Until January 13
 for Final Disposition.

Three suits, involving interesting in- stances of legislation, which have been filed of late in the Supreme Court, were yesterday continued until the call of the counties of the Seventh Divis- ion, which is to be taken up by the Justices. January ia. next.
 One of these is the temporary writ granted some weeks ago. and made ra- turnable yesterday, involving the con stftutionality of the juvenile court law. It will be recalled that an Anniston judge had a case against youth un- der sixteen years of age, who. under the juvenile court law. could not be tried in the regular tribunals. but only in the juvenile court. A writ was ob tained from Chief Justice Tyson. temp orarily suspending the juvenile law. < in order that the entire matter might come before all the Justices, and be finally adiudicated.
 E Meanwhile a bill has been presented in the Legislature for the repeal of the act in question, and it may be that the decision of the Supreme Court in Jam uary will be of only temporary effect or necessity.
 > The Birmingham police commission quo warranto case. which was filed in the Supreme Court the first of the week and was made returnable yesterday. was also continued until January.
 The matter of the proper dates for holding the Circuit Court In Chiffon County was the third matter that went over to January 13. The Pony Cir cult, known officially as the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit, was created at the regular session of the legislature, and embraces, among other counties, Mont gomery and Chiffon. The Montgomery dates for holding court were arranged satisfactorily, but there was consider able question about those in Chiffon. i The Pony Circuit itself fixed one set of dates for holding the terms Of court. while the Lusk Judicial bill. applying to all the counties and circuits of the state.
 In this dilemma an attorney of Clan ton procured writ in the Supreme Court through which the matter of the legality of the terms of the court to be held in that county was to be definitely established. This case was to have been heard in the Supreme Court yesterday. but its hearing was postponed.
 This question also is likely to be set- tied by the special session of the legislature. A measure was passed by the House yesterday by which a set of dates for the holding of the Circuit Court Is fixed, and 1t is expected to pass readily through the Senate.
 The writ of prohibition against the holding of the Circuit Court at Good water, in Cocsa county, as well as at Rockford, the County Seat. as provided for in a local act passed at the July session of the legislature, was to have come before the SupHeme Court yes' terday, but its consideration was post poned until next Thursday,

It is true, and by Katherine Mer of London England, Gould says. that he expects to disprove the truth of the story which was told him by his wife by showing that she made a confession to Miss Mer as to the true nature of her relations with Cody. Miss Mer Is now in New York.
 The case came up before Justice O'Gorman today on the application of Clarence Shearn, counsel for Mrs. Gould to have vacated an order which MT. Gould recently got from Justice Fitz- gerald for the examination of Miss Mer as a witness in his defense to Mrs. Gould's suit for a separation from him.
 Counsel Shearn in his arguments said that while MT. Gould set forth that Miss Mer said his wife confessed to her what the relations with Cody were, the affidavit does not describe the na- ture of the relations
 We desire to have this order va cated," continued MT. Shearn, "for the reason that in action such as this where the wife lived with the defen- dant for eight years, and has brought action for Support that the plaintin should be directly confronted With the woman who made the statement that twelve years ago, prior to their mar riage, the plaintiff had maintained meretricious relations with some other man. She should confront the jury and be subjected to cross examination"
