Tact CEMENTING
CHINA'S FRiENDS SHIP
This Only Country Not Want
ing Territory.

SHANGHAI, October 12.---(Spec-
iaD-The comment of the Chinese
press, officials, and people on the
visit to Shanghai of Secretary of
War Taft is most enthusiastic. The
reports published in the newspapers
of this city on the subject have been
telegraphed to all parts of China,
The general feeling of the Chinese on
the utterances of Mr. Taft may be
summarized as follows:
"The United States will not sell the
Philippine Islands, an assurance which
is welcomed, as it means that there
will be no extension of Japanese in
fluences, and continuance of Amer
lean influence in the far east.
THE Chinese desire to interpret
Mr.. Taft's statement reiterating that
the United States favors the open-door
policy in China as being unofficial,
but at the same time, made on high
authority, and indicating that the
United States will support China, and
maintain the policy in Manchuria,
the only place where the open-door
is threatened.
'The enthusiastic welcome accord
ed to Mr.. Taft here atones for the
boycott of American goods and de-
monstrates Chinese friendship for
America.
THE assurances given in regard to
fair treatment of the emigration
question are accepted IN good faith.
China trusts in the United States
and believes in her as a true friend"
The Chinese consider the United
States to be the only power not
wanting to annex part CT the terri
tory of China, and as being disinter-
estedly concerned in China's welfare
1t is regarded as assured that the
utterances of Mr.. Taft will give Am
erican business men in China re-
newed confidence to push the lines
of trades in which the United States
is interested.

COMPANY OPENS ITS
CAFE IN AMERICAS

Americas row has in the place of
the Christophulos Cafe Co., one of
the neatest, most modern and up-to-
date dining balls in the state. The
company opened its new place yester-
day, and the liberal patronage ex-
tended the first day bore testimony
of the popularity 1t will enjoy here.
The cafe is for ladies and gentlemen
only, and no others will be served
there or permitted upon the premises,
Mr. Christopulos will serve his pat
rons with the very best that this and
other markets afford, and one is al
ways sure of fine meal, nicely served
and at moderate price. He prides
himself upon his fine coffee, which
he declares is the best in the South.
The new cafe will be very popular
with Americas people and the trav-
cling public. Try it for a good dinner
or supper.

GERMANY AND u. S.
NOT YET ALLIES.
No Truth In Report of Fleet
Coming.

BERLIN, October 12-(SpeciaD-
At the foreign office it is stated that
the question of sending a German
fleet to visit the Atlantic ports of the
United States when the American bat
tleship fleet leaves for the Pacific had
never been considered, and that the
visit would not take place.
The foreign Office added that the re-
port that President Roosevelt had
communicated to Emperor William
his intention of sending the American
fleet to the Pacific was Unfounded.
Such a proceeding, it was pointed
cut, was absolutely unnecessary, as
the matter was purely one for the
decision of America, as a great power
with which Intervention was not call
ed for and whose policy depended on
it's own initiative.
The reports that an entente exists
between the United States and Ger
many, as well as the rumor that En-
peror William had approached the
authorities, at Washington with the
object of bringing about an alliance
were untrue, as, although the PROPOSE
ton had never been put forward, the
Emperor was we'll aware that any
such an alliance was not in accord
with the policy of the United tSates.

CLARK & cos COTTON LETTER,

NEW YORK, October 1f.-Liverpool
advices were decidedly disappoint-
ing today. All Europe seems deter
mined to take advantage Of tight
money on this side, and are work
ing overtime in withdrawing from
the stock market, thus weakening the
financial situation to a really alarm
ing extent. RumOrs that the late bear
leader had again turned bearish threw
a damper on bull enthusiasm, and
brokers rushed to get rid of long
cotton early in today's session. Stop
orders were caught in great numbers,
and this served to accelerate the de-
cline. In the net January was ham
mered to 1915, a new price for this
option. Receipts continue on a mod
crate scale. and from every quarter
come reports of holding to the death"
but the recent convention in Atlanta
has enlightened spinners on the cost
of production and they will pursue
a hand to mouth policy for some time
to come. As long as the weather re-
mains open and as long as money
commands such a premium, we cannot
advise purchases. OF course all Of
this can and will change in the twink
ling of an eye and then King Cot
ton will once more ascend the throne.
