Pittsburg, Sept. 9.-One man is dead and two others more or less ser iously injured as a result of two ac- cidents at series of automobile races that were held at the Brunots island track near this city today. The dead man is Rex Reinersten, 35 years old, president of the Auto Repair Go of this city, who died of a fractured skull while being taken to the hos pital Walter Christy, 26 years old, ot New York city, who was one of the drivers in the Vanderbilt cup races on Long Island, fractured his right fore arm and sustained scalp wounds and bruises of the body, It is also feared he has been internally injured.

MANY USED PUBLIC BATHS
OVER 5000 IN AUGUST
St. John Street Houses Close for Repairs After Big
 Season.

The public bath houses in St. John street were closed yesterday for need ed repairs and will not reopen until the 2Srd. The repairs, while much needed, are not to be costly. Accord ing to Director of Public Works James B. Coe they will not cost more than $75.
 The summer season just closing has been the most successful from a point of cleanliness that the bath houses have ever seen. As an instance of this may be pointed out that in August, 917 persons availed themselves of the privilege of taking a bath at the in stitution. Of these, 97 were women, 1644 girls, 5,S5O boys and 1926 men and this was some hundreds below the record for July.
 The bath house was opened in De- cember, 1903, and in its three and three=quarters years of life has been boon to residents of the downtown section.
 II has never been, and probably never will be, self-sustaining in a monetary sense, as with 9,O17 bathers last month the total receipts were but $71.15. Men and women, young and old, over IS years, are charged but a nickle for a bath, while all younger and the class the city is especially af- ter have no payment to make. That the bath house is appreciated is shown by the hundreds who use it during the winter months and even should it be put on a free basis to young and old the city officials believe it would be the best possible investments <.

REFUSES CITIZENS PAPERS
Judge Says Too Many Ignorant For
 eigners Have Been Admitted.

Ithaca, N. Y., Sept. 9.--Justice Miller in opening the September term of the supreme court here to-day surprised the court attendants by refusing all applications for citizenship.
 "We have admitted too many ignor- ant foreigners to citizenship already" he said. T do not propose to admit to the franchise any person who does not know enough about the constitution of the country to cast an intelligent bal lot. I will not grant citizenship papers to any immigrant who has not fixed intention of staying in the country and an intelligent knowledge of patriotic interest in it's form or government. An ignorant electorate tends to be a cor ruptible electorate; an unintelligent use of the ballot is dangerous to the suc> cess of a democratic form of govern ment.

MAYOR FIGHT
 WAKES HOTTER Orr's Men said to Have Cap tured Many New Ital- ian Votes Down
 Town. BIG MARTIN RALLY
 FOR SEVENTH Republicans to Announce Caucus and Convention Dates at Meeting
 Tonight.

The flight for the mayoralty nomi- nation in the democratic party, with but a week in which to line up the forces backing James B. Martin and Samuel R Avis, Is now getting mighty warm, with the odds so far it seems about evenly divided All sorts of po- litical plans are being worked by both factions to win, but about the best of the lot so far it seems is one that the Avis supporters have pulled off among the Italian voters.
 According to the figures of the gen. eral registrar and hls deputies, the democratic party has gained several hundred votes in the Italian commun- ity downtown. The Avis side at once started out after these and other vot- ers of the same nationality. Accord ingly rousing old meeting was held Sunday which was attended by about 100 Italians As result the majority
 of them are said to have left the meet ing impressed with the idea that they should get out and vote against Mar tin next Tuesday afternoon.
 While the Avis men are working hard for victory, the Martin supporters are by no means Idle. With rally
 on Wednesday night, that is expected to revive old democratic days in the fighting seventh, they expect to stir UT enough enthusiasm to carry that ward MT. Martins way by big ma jorlty. With the Martin end of the ticket is lined up James E. Daley, the candidate for alderman against Nicho- las Leonard. The Daley supporters
 will be out in force at the rally which will thereby have a twofold object and should prove a rather warm one. II will no doubt tend greatly toward overcoming the damage that may re- suit from the Italian vote
 The republican end Is now also com.
 ing to the fore. At meeting of the town committee to be held in head. (Continued on Second Page

SUMTER'S FINEST
COTTON CROP MADE
Americas Merchants Bound
to Feel Impulse.

Il believe that the close of the
season will show that Sumter coun-
ty has made the finest cotton crop it
has had in thirty-fye years" said Mr..
r. J. Perry, in discussing business
conditions yesterday
Prices while at this time not as
high as many hoped they will be,
are still fairly, satisfactory, and the
gross financial results will exceed
anything we have known.
Il see no reason why Americas
merchants should not have good
winter business,' he continued.
while it is true cotton is to some
extent being held off the market in
the hope of better prices, any delayed
trade at this time must come to the
merchants a little later. Sumter is
in excellent financial condition and
this city and section have probably
felt the effects of the monetary strin-
gency as little as any community in
the country

BLIZZARD GAVE TRADE
BLACK EYE YESTERDAY
Americas Had Another Bad
Day of 1t.

The worst day of the fall season
was yesterday, and from a weather
and business standpoint Americas
merchants went against it real hard
Bleak, cold raw and thoroughly dis
agreeable was the weather, and only
those who had business in town
quit the fireside and braved the ele-
ments. Few people came from the
country, and merchants generally
marked the day as one of che worst
upon the fall calendar To this was
added the light cotton receipts and
the indisposition upon the part of
farmers to sell at present prices, thus
cutting off revenue from that source
1t was a day Americas sees but
seldom and ended none too quickly

BREAK.yG THE sTRNGENCY

A thrill Of encouragement was
S If over the country Monday when
tie II asary Department announced
that the Government was preparing
to issue certificates to The amount of
$1O00O0,0C0 and to offer Panama
canal bonds to the amount OF $1,000
600. The impulse was quickly felt
in the cotton market and else
where
AS the certificates bear interest at
the rate OF 3 per cent it is expected
that hoarders Of money will be
more than ready to exchange them for
certificates, which are guaranteed by
the government, and which are
more valuable than other money The
great trouble has been that deposit
tors were fearful of the banks and it
would in the ordinary course of
events take some weeks for conf
dence to be resorted to the extent
that all money formerly on deposit
would be again with the banks With
the sale of the bonds banks will be
provided with a basis of circulation
and can issue bank notes nearly up
to the face value Of the bonds. The
money obtained by the Government
in both transactions will be distribu-
ted among banks for the relief OF
congestion
Coupled with the news of the pro-
posed issues is the statement that
the bants of the South ard West
are to be favored with the deposits to
aid in moving the cotton and wheat
crops.
Heretofore, relief-or rather alleg-
ed relief-has been extended through
New York banks. 1t would be
great calamity if any part of the
proceeds were to be deposited with
New York banks That would mean
a locking up of the money as the
banks there have done against all
other sections, which is the very
thing sought to be remSied on the
part Of the individual depositors. New
York is a great money center-for
itself
The real relief for the money situa-
ton is in sending abroad cotton and
wheat and bringing back gold in
exchange. The course of the New
York banks in tying up money and
making it more difficult to sell these
products stands sQuarely in the way
CT the relief named Wall street
started the panic and does all in its
power to prevent the South and West
from breaking it. The New York
money mart is sowing to the wind.
