New York, Oct. 24.-As a re-

the financial world there is every
indication that the crisis in the

BY far the most notable, even

their inability TO obtain renewals

The effect of this relief meas

Fatal Gin Accidents---Atlan-
ta's Big Fair Much Ex-
pected from Prohibit on
Lancaster's Champion Cot
ton Pickers--Other Matters
of Interest.

Cured almost within the same
hour, on the same day near this
city. In one instance, Mr.. Turner,
who was working with a public
gin, was caught in the machinery
and his body so horribly mangled
that he lived only about an hour.
Almost at the same time, Mr.. r
III. Jones, who was working at
gin on the other side of town,
was caught IN about the same
manner and killed instantly.
AS the ginning season advances,
we always hear of these accidents.
and we hope some remedy will
come IN vogue, as iu seems that
something more than the prec au-
ton 10 be careful is necessary to
check these occurrences.
Atlanta is in the midst of her
big fair and they are having a
grand time. Thousands of peo-
pie are fiocking to this coming
metropolis, "the New York Of
the South" and taking in the
many sights which are to be seen
In Atlanta and those that are
special features of the big fair.
AS we write this, they are MAX
ing big preparations for the COM
ing OF w. j. Bryan, the next pro-
bable Democratic candidate for
president. They will give him
an ovation that will fill him with
pride and he will go away feel
ing good over the great demon
stration, Notwithstanding the fact
that he has been so much ad-
mired and received so much ap-
plause from one end of the Unit
ed States to the other.
The saloon men are making
arrangements to leave the city
first OF next year, great many
OF them, as no other business
looks as good TO Them as the whis.
key business. Some of them
will remain here aud go into
some other business, as they have
