RATES ARE ADVANCED.
Mining and Smelling Interests Dis-
 turbed in Mexico.

Washington, August 25.-(Special)- Consul w. D. Shaughnessy of Aguasca- lientes advises that there is a great deal of uneasiness felt there among the min ing and smelling interests owing to the recent advance in the freight rates by the Mexican government. which went into effect on August 9, concerning which he says:
 Tt is a complete revision of the general freight tariff and the classification, ad- vancing the rate on practically all com modties, but Is especially pronounced on the shipments of ores. The increase in the latter case will average 20 per cent per 1o0J kilos Q.lo-21a pounds) per kilo- meter (O.62 of mile), ,Ae weight and distance remaining the same as before The new classification will affect all of the Mexican governments main and branch railroad lines, and 1t is rumored that when the merger of all the railroads in the republic actually takes place, which Is anticipated in the near future, the rates will again be increased, making the total advance enormous.
 ''rhe many mining interests in Mexico, Ol WHICH a percentage dTe Amer lean operators and stockholders, will suf- fer to a great extent. Those who have heretofore managed to ship the low-grade ores upon a paying basis will be unable, under the new classification. to trans port any except the high-grade ores This will result sooner or larer in the necessity of shutting down a great num- Der of the low-grade mines and will mean the loss of many hundred thousands of 6nl no fn he cfn hn1d and thereby increase the number of un- employed.
 Ut is expected that the mining inter ests of this country will combine to do all in their power 10 have the rates now being considered kept at a basis which will enable the shipper to realize a profit on transportation by rail of low-grade

THE PUNCTURE REMEDY.
Australian Invention to Safeguard
 Motor Travel.

Washington. August 25.-(Special.)-Con ulum." invented by an Australian for re pairing and preserving pneumatic tires of vehicles. mention of which appeared in Daily Consular and Trade Reports on August ,, Consul Albert Halstead of Birmingham. furnishes the following ad- ditional information;
 composition has been brought to the United Kingdom from Australia which. 1t is claimed, will prevent the puncturing of pneumatic tires on bicycles, motor bi- cycles and motor cars. The new compost ton is shortly to be placed on the Brit ish market and later 1t will be introduced into the United States. This preparation consists of a semi-liquid composition similar in color and thickness to cream. It is injected in a cold condition through the valve into the inner tube of pneu- matic tire The revolution of the wheel spreads the compound on the inside of the tire so that if the tire Is punctured it exudes through the hole and coming in contact with the atmosphere congeals, completely filling the hole.
 It is reported that in motor tire treat ed with this composition a 6-lnch nail has been driven in to a depth of three inches, and the nail being withdrawn, the car was then sent on a short journey On returning, it's punctured tire was found to be quite hard. It Is asserted that there is no loss of resiliance by the use of this compound; that it has preservative effect on rubber. It does not, however, prevent a large hole or tear in the tube from being repaired by vulcanization in the usual way

BOY KILLS MOTHER.
Woman Falls From Blow and Rup-
 lures Heart Valve.

Asheville N. C., August 25-A sudden and peculiar death occurred here Friday afternoon. Mrs. Fife Ingle, while at tempting to administer a thrashins to her 12-year-old son, was struck by the boy, became overbalanced and, falling to the floor, ruptured a valve of the heart ana died in few seconds.
 It seems that Mrs lnGle had instruct ed her son to bring in an armful or wood; that the boy refused, when the mother, with small baby in her arms, attempted to whip the lad for disobed- fence. The boy fought his mother and struck her several times about the face and body. One of the blows overbalaneed Mrs. Ingle and with the baby in her arms she fell backward full length on the floor. Sin. failed to move or attempt to recover herself after falling and, aid being quick ly summoned 1t was found that she was dead. The baby was unhurt.
 Coroner Morris was notified and later summoned jury and held an inuest and attopsv. It was found thtt 1ae of the valves of the heart had been sGptured by the fall, thus placing indirectly the kill ing of his mother at the feet of the F. year-old boy. The lad. however. was not held.

COTTON STATES
 RACE ABOUT OVER
MOBILE WILL FLY PENNANT AND VICkSBURG WILL BE SECOND, WITH COLUMBUS cLlNGING TO BOTTOM ROUND.
'rITsCAIOOsA, Al

Columbus, Miss. August 25.--(Spe- cial.) .)-In about twenty days the race for the pennant in the Cotton States league will have been finished. Even at this date, however. the actual race has already been wound up and the aggregation from Mobile will again have the honor of claiming the flag Mobile has played phenomenal ball all season, and they have earned the vic tory by hard playing and great work Looking backward over their record 1t Is in no way surprising that they did win out. The outfield of the leaders and heir inheld. too. are simply run like clocks. The one thing Mobile has been short on. and the thing which at first looked as though they would have to fight to overcome, was their pitchers. They are not the best in the league by any means. None of them can be claimed as ranking among the best, but the great work In the field and al the bat of the team behind them was successful Tn the end and McCay is satisfied.
 It is a pretty safe prediction that Vicksburg will land second. The work of the gentlemen from the Hill City is of good quality and they have team that would have given Mobile a fight for first honors If they could have collected them earlier in the season. Jacks Gufport and Meridian are very likely to follow in the order named, but as they are so well punched right now 1t Is hard to say just Tow the third, fourth and fifth places will be. The sixth hole will be occupied by Columbus. This fact Is settled be- yond all doubt Columbus has occupied the last place in the percentage column for the entire season teven since the first game). No, that statement is a little too severe, and 1t must be said that for two days the Diseoyerers were in fourth place. Their standing at that time was even 400 and they were set ba elk on the second day by Jackson and Vicksburg. In spite of the terrihcally low standing of the Columbus bunch the attendance here has been splendid all tn rough the season.
 If a winning team had been repre- senting the town. the attendance would have been the best in the circuit and the people would have been wild over them. As it is. everyone extends the hand of sympathy to the locals and hopes for better work next year. There Is a good deal of talk going the rounds that Natchez and Hattiesburg will have franchises next season and the league will be an eight club affair, The scheme seems to have taken well at once and nearly everyone hopes those arrangements will be perfected. There is no probability of any of the fran chise holders giving up this year.

NEGROES FOR PROHIBITION.
Move Is in Retaliation Against Saloon
 keepers.

Guthrie Okla, August 25-At many places in Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory negroes are declaring for state wide prohibition by resolution at public meet ings The liquor question has never been an issue In other years among the negro voters of the new state. One of their leaders was asked why his race had be- come actively interested in the question. He said:
 "ls negro forbidden to buy dry goods at n store patronized by white people? Isn't he free to enter the same drug stores where white persons buy their medicines? Inasmueh as he is not for bidden to patronize these places, there is no good reason why he should be ex- cluded from saloons where white men buy their whisky The Jim Crow question is being talked so much in Oklahoma among both republicans and democrats that the negroes propose giving to the saloon in- terests the same kind of treatment they have given the negroes, and we shall vote for state wide prohibition and the clos ing of all saloons"

THE JURY RETURNS
 MANY INDICTMENTS
THE NAME BLOODY BIBB" SEEMS NOT TO BE A MISNOMER-FlRST MINE DISASTER DAMAGE SUIT IS TAKEN UP.

Centerville, August 25.-(Special )-The grand jury for the fall term of the cir cult court of Bibb county, which is now in session, made final report on yes terday to Judge B. NJ Miller. This grand jury found 10s indictments. Nearly one half of the indictments found were for violations of the local prohibition law If is a remarkable fact that not a single one of the large number of indictments follnd was for homicide in any degree. This was the first time in probably d quarter of a century that n grand jury in Bibb county assembled and adjourned without returning from one to ten ndict- ments for murder It would seem now that the name of Bloody Bibb' which has for so many years been given this county is a misnomer. It Is further fact that there Is only one defendant to be tried at this term of the court for murder in the first degree and the indictment in this case was found more than year ago.
 The first one of the damage suits against the Little cahaba Coal com many for the explosion which occurred at Piper is on trial. The case is being warmly contested both sides. The taking of evidence in the case was not concluded when court adjourned at 6 O clock yesterday afternoon and the case wlA be resumed tomorrow morning After the completion of this case the criminal docKet will be taken up.
 Miss Amanda McKinnie, daughter of John McKinne substantial citizen of this county, died in Montgomery Friday night. Her remains were brought to Cen terville yesterday and will be buried to- day. She was quite an attractive young lady and her sudden death was q great shock 10 her many friends, who did not know that she was ill.
 The citizens of Centerville will, within tte next few weeks, vote on the ques- tion as to wether or not bonds will be issued by the town for the purpose of aiding in the erection of a school house.
