"They refer also, SIR" he said,
ssto the man who was found dead
near the cottage where you used

supposed to have been washed up
from the sea, but 1t has recently
been stated that he was seen, on

It is also stated that he inquired

Anything else, Grooton?'
There is a lot of foolish talk,

THE DAY in THE MARKETS

Stocks that have been the mar
ket leaders for long time have
been very inactive this week.
Snowstorm and Lucky Jim only
changed fractionally, and Interna-
tional Coal has been steady. The
cheap issues have supplanted the
best stocks as far as trading is
concerned. Good buying of Happy
Day during the close of the week
would indicate some move in this
quarter soon. Lucky Calumet

Florence, S. c., Nov. 9.-Before he
left Augusta, Monday afternoon, Pres
ident Taft sent for the Hon. Tyrus
Cobb, who, when he is not selling
automobiles in Augusta, is banging
out hot base hits on the Detroit team.
Ty responded to the call as fast as
one of his automobiles would carry
him.
Il am glad to meet the most popu-
lar man in Georgia" said the presi-
dent, grasping the right fielder's hand.
well, Mr.. President, if l have any
popularity in Georgia, I'd be glad to
turn it all over to you," said the gen.
erous hearted Ty without stopping for
single word. Ty scored that time
all right; it was several seconds be-
fore the president stopped laughing.
What are you going to do next
season." the president asked.
"Oh, I've signed for three more
years and will stick" said Ty.
Just then photographer rushedup
all out of breath. He had heard that
Augustus foremost citizen had been
summoned to the hill, and had chased
after him.
Would you object, Mr.. Cobb, to
my taking your picture with Captain

he added. 81 would like very much
to have picture of Augustus two

Butt, Mr.. Cobb" said the photograph

Butt, right--"
why, sure enough; that was the

famous sons twice BY that time the
president was disappearing through
the door of the golf club house. What
show did the president of the United
States have with local photographer
when Ty and the presidents aide were
on the horizon?
In delivering his speeches on the
long trip now drawing to a close, the
president has had to contend with

but the flying machine proved toe

Government Bonds Drop For First

Government BonuS Drop foT fITSt
Time Since 1879.
Washington, Nov. 9.-Two things
are giving anxiety to treasury officers.
One is the sale of government bonds
below par in the past few days, which
is the first time this has occurred
since 1879. The other is the growing
treasury deficit. Secretary MacVeagh
will not return to Washington until
next week. Up to this time he has
given no indication of taking any &C.
ton to bolster up the bond market.
The Panama 2 per cent bonds have
been sold as low as SO 7-S in the last
few days, while the per cents of
1880 we're quoted at only lie above
par.
At .he treasury department it was
explained that the sag in the bond
market was due to heavy sales of
blocks OF bonds by the national banks.
