W. B. Rus sell & Co. are preparing to build two handsome stores on the west side of the public square, one for the firm and the other for George Wood, Jeweler. [. This with other money spent on store buildings and. residences runs the to- tai to something like $100,00O spent here this year An office building two stories high, fifty feet long by twenty eight feet wide, sold here this week for S6. 900 cash. It was bought by pr. w. T. McDaniel, dentist. It is the handsomest office building in the town.

The Great Northern claims that some of it's men have already returned to work and that reports from the West indt- cate that some of the boiler-makers believe the compromise offer of the roads should have been accepted. On the Great Western, 160 machinists are out, demanding uniform wages with the boile--makers.

Crops So Late in LimestOne County
 Glnners are Kicking.
 Athens, Sept. 15.-(Special. )--As an indication of the lateness of the cot ton crop in this county 1t may be es- timated by the fact that at this time there has not been a gin started in the county and two years ago there had been 1000 bales ginned at this time. We have heard of but one man that expects to have any cotton ginned within ten days. The leading gtnners say that they will hardly get under way before the 1st to the 10th of De- tober. The cotton Is suffering seri- ousIy. Bolls from third to two-thirds grown are falling fast an dthe loss is serious. This with the lateness of the crop indicates a very small crop for this section, not perhaps over 45 to 50 per cent.

 troduction of Such Step.
 Chicago, Sept. 1s.--Opposition to the introduction into the Theosophical So- , ciety of moral code, carrying penal ties for attractions, was indorsed by the American branch of that organi- zation at its twenty-first annual con- vention here, when motion embody- ing such code was voted down by a large majority and four members of the Executive Committee. all holding views in accord with those of Mrs. Annie Besant, the newly-elected world President and chief opponent of the code, were elected.
 The question of the adoption of a moral code is one that has agitated theosophists in this country for some time past, and was the subject of Mrs. Besant's address before the convention today. It was made an issue when a resolution specifying certain acts for which members could be expelled from society was proposed by a minority element in the meeting. It was lost by vote of 4 to 1 of the delegates.
 In an address before the convention, Mrs. Besant said:
 "If we make a rule expelling from the society our undesirables. we shall sink below the level of all great re- 1igious bodies even below the level of ordinary scientific, philosophical and literary societies.
