Georgla's Wine Bill Unpaid.

Atlanta Special to The New 1orh AIl-
 bune.
 The large bill rendered to the State of Georgia for champagne used on Georgia Day at the Jamestown Expo- sition is stirring up the Georgia com mission and Governor Hoke smith. Wine is politically most unpopular in Georgia just now. and Governor Hoke Smith has refused to pay the bill which was sent oy a New York wine firm.
 A curious feature of the matter Is that the members of the commission will not admit any knowledge Of the use of the champagne President Mitchell says the wine was sent on approval, to be paid for if 1t was found good. As no one admits drinking the wine it could not have been approved and therefore 1t is argued that the New York firm has no claim on the State.
 But Governor Smith wants to know who ordered the wine, and above all' who drank 1t. Not only. has he dis- approved the wine bill. but he has re- fused to pay a bill which the com mission incurred under the head of "en- tertaining.' and he is curious about a bill for cut flowers ordered by Presi- dent Mitchell. The Governor wants to know who got the flowers, but nobody will tell.

cotton PicIxInr sfnchlnes.

Messrs. George Lispenard, K. s. Ar mold and John W. Zurem of New York are spending several weeks in Selma perfecting a cotton picking machine which Mir. Lispenard has inventeds The party spent several weeks in Selma last fall working the cotton picker, but they discovered some defects which during the year has been improved upon, and 1t Is now believed that the machine is as perfect as a machine. can be made and that 1t will meet all of the necessary requirements.
 Mir. Lispeuard has rented a small piece of land from Mir. S. F. Houston, a few miles east of here, and has placed his machine there in working order. They are now waiting for the cotton to open so that the ability of the machine to pick the fleecy staple from the boil of the plant as 1t stands in the field can be demonstrated. MT. Lispenard has perfected his machine so that 1t can pick the staple from the tall plant in the field as well as from the small and low stalk.
 A practical demonstration of the ability of the machine to pick cotton from the stalk in the field will be made in about three weeks. To wit ness this demonstration there will come to Selma representatives from the Deering and from the Avery manufac- turing companies. These representa- tives as well as a number of other people from the North will come to see the machine work.
 It Is very probable that if the ma chine proves the success which MT. Lispenard- believes that 1t will, that a plant to manufacture the same will be erected here. Selma Is close to the iron fields of North Alabama and is good shipping point from which to ship the machines as fast as they could be turned out from the plant.
 If the machine proves success a large stock company for the manufac- ture of the same will be formed. MT. Lispenard is a manufacturer of New York and has invented a number of improvements and patents on different machines. MT. Zuren is a well known attorney of New York and stands high in the legal profession in that city.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York Aug. ie.--The course of to- 6syss stock market was marked by extreme 1rrexuiarity. with operations of slightly reduced scale and limited in the main 10 the active issues. The lowest prices of the day were touched in the final hour. when persistent runors of threatened Failure in banking circles were current. Asioe from the encoura cement which Wall Street saw fit to derive from the forthcoming pub lie speeches of President Roosevelt and Sec retary Taft the days developments were for the most part adverse.
 Early in the session reports coupled the name of a very large western manufactur- ing concern with impending insolvency The securities of this corporation fell abruptly as they had done on the previous day, loss es ranging from four to five points or more in the common and preferred shares
 Another very disturbing element was the maximum decline of forty-four points in the shares of the old Metronolitan Rail- way. whose per cent. dividend Is "guaran- teedp by the so-cailed holding companies, which control the local traction roads.
 sentiment was further affected oy as patches from various out of town points most of which told of business depressiohs and increased hardening of money rates From Pittsburg and Cleveland came con firmatory advices of relaxation m the s,.nI'a,d iron trade and in affiliated indus tries The feeling of uneasiness was aceen, tuated by statements attributed to ioCai bankers who were quoted as expressing the opinion that a number of small manuac turing concerns would ultimately be forced into bankruptcy because of the increasins scarcity of working capital.
 Yet, another unfavorabie factor was tne s.,aI-monthiy report of recognized cotton expert, which stated that the crop over tne greater part of the cotton belt would hardly make more than a normal showing Prices snr,inued to sag in the late trading and all of the early gains were replaced by losses of poiut or more In the active list With more severe declines in the speciaities The closing was dull and weak with further houidation in evidence.
 Time money was firmer flat per cent. rate being fixed for all six month Ioans
 raonds were irregular. Total sales par yal,,e s1. 5s4 0oo United States 2s, register- sd and the fours registered declined t per cent on call.

BROKE OPEN SALOON
THIEF TAKES MONEY AND MUCH
 BOOZE.
Selma saloon is Burgiarized--It Is Theory of Police that Some Former Employe Is the
 Thief.
Advertiser Bureau,

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, Aug. Is. local option law last night by enter ing saloon between the hours of II p. m. and 5 a. m. The saloon entered was The Bank" on Broad Street, be- tween Hogan's Alley and Alabama Street. The entrance into the saloon was made in the yard in the rear, the thief prizfng a piece of board from shutter and loosening the clasp which held the shutter.
 The thief who burglarized the sa- loon was familiar with the interior When the place was opened this morn ing 1t was soon discovered that during the night 1t had been visited by some unknown person.
 Last night before he closed. Mir. Cecil. the owner of the Bank Saloon. countel his cash and placed all but $10.25 In a safe. The s10.25 he left in the cash register. which he locked and placed the key where he did every night when he closed.
 After getting into the saloon, the thief evidently gave his attention to the cash register first. This morning the key to the register was found in the accustomed place, but intsad of $1025 being in the register. there was only cents. It Is thought that the thief knew where the key to the cash register was placed every night and when he entered the saloon last night that he opened the register and after taking the money relocked it.
 Besides the money which he took. the thief helped himself literally to several quarts and pints of the best and highest priced whiskey that was handled in the saloon. He also went through the cigar case on the front counter of the bar and from this case took several boxes of the most choice cigars handled.
 After helping himself to what he wanted, the thief left the saloon by the window through which he had en- tered After getting out he closed the window carefully and like he had found it before he prfzed the piece from the shutter. The police depart ment think that they know who the thief is and will probably arrest him sometime tonight.
