TWO OF THE NAVY'S FINEST
OLD SEADOGS.

Two OF the Nays finest old sea
dogs have drop I'd out Of the line this
week. Both OF them are officers who
have lived up to the finest and highest
traditions of the naval service. One
OF them IS Rear Admiral Nehemiah NJ
Over. who was second III command IN
der Admiral Dewey at the battle Of
Manila Bay, and who has died at his
home in Boston The other Is Rear
Admiral Bob Evans, who at the ale
Of sixtv-four, has retired from active
service and has been detached from
duty with the general board Fight
inc Bob for the first time In we'll
nigh a half century, is without active
naval duty, but he Is still vigorous Of
body and keen of mind and the Amcri-
can people viii trust profoundly that
he viii have many pleasant years Of
life in which TO engage IN the literary
work he enjoys, and IN the recoIleCtiOns
OF a career well spent in the service
OF his country
It Is such naval men as Dyer and
Evans that make the American people
proud of the navy and confident that
II the test Of a great war ever comes
that service viii not be found wanting.
Both deservedly won regulations as
fighters. In the hours OF his severest
trials in Manila bay IN 1898, when the
Spanish feet had been sunk, but there
doomed UP black and threatening the
shadow of war with Germany, Admiral
Dewey had no stancher support than
grim old Dyer, in command Of the Bal
timoTe, who was not only willing, but
anxious to fight at the drop OF the hat,
As for Fighting Bob" he viii long
be remembered, not only for bis long
and admirable record Of sea service in
many waters, but for his success IN
leading the battleship feet around tie
Horn and into the Pacific on the great

armada Of such proportions.

SOUTH'S AMAZING GROWTH
TOLD IN STRIKING FIGURES.

Whatever may be thought of the
arguments OF Representative BouteI Of
Illinois that the new tariff law Is not
burdensome and that no one Is groaning
under 1t, he represented IN his speech in
the House figures which illuminate in
a striking way the extent Of the
South's amazing growth
AIr. BouteH said that the South IN
manufactures had increased from
eI.I58, 100000 IN 1900 to s2,2I4.OOO.0O 600 in
1910 The cotton mills have a caDitaI

looms as against 10000; 1900 600 600
pounds Of cotton used as against 744.-

Manufacturers Record, which recently
published an instructive table giving

paTing the conditions IN 1850 with the
conditions IN 1910, and showing the
increase in the South as compared with
the increase IN the whole country. Mr..
Boutell said that letters from bankers

States Of Missouri and Oklahoma told
Of increasing prosperity, advancing
land values and augmented bank bal

would have Us believe, that because

A STAGGERING BLOW TO
PARIS AND FRANCE.

IF the extent of the Paris disaster
is ever nearly as great as reported in
the dispatches, there are only a few
cities in this country which car sp-
preciata the complete paralysis, the
sense Of overwhelming misfortune its
people feel Baltimore is one of them;
Galveston Is another. San Francisco a
third. The two latter can feel for
Paris more keenly, as the devastation
there by earthquake and food was even
more tragic and awe-inspiring than
visitation by FIRE.

In the case Of FIRE. moreover. there
is little danger of pestilence, and those

when there . damage by food The

SOLDIERS IDLE
AT CHICKAMAUGA

Chattanooga. Tenn, July 13-(SpeciaD
Tuesday was a day of almost complete
idleness so far as military work was
concerned at Chickamauga park. The
chief event of the day was the arrival
of the first North Carolina and the
Third South Carolina infantry regiments.
The soldiers reached the military reser-
walton during the morning, the last of
the five trains going in before noon,
and they spent the entire afternoon in
getting their camp Strengthened out. The
Georgia brigade was also employed in
routine duty around the camp and so
much time was occupied that no attempt
was made to have company or battalion
inspection.
Although there was a light rain late
In the afternoon the affairs of the camp
are in much better shape now than
when the Alabama and Florida troops
were, there last week.
There is absolutely no danger OF any
endemic of fever or other disease. The
Authorities have the camps SO we'll drain
ed that there has never been any stand
ing water although the grounds have
been rather damp. All of the foods are
prepared in screened kitchens, and under
the supervision OF regular army cooks
and there Is absolutely no chance for an
epidemic of typhoid fever to break out,
so the men in charge state. General or
ders will be issued at an early hour
Wednesday, and 1t is expected that the
work for the next few days will be out
lined at that time.

COTTON ADVANCES
ON GENERAL BUYING
July Shorts Get Scared and
Boost Prices
rs TOO HEAVY
Reports of More Rain In the Mississippi
Valley Cause a Scare Which Sends
Prices Sharply Up Before
the Close
RAINFALL rs TOO HEAVY

New York. July 13-The feature in the
cotton market today was a scare of
July shorts during the afternoon and a
very sharp advance in that position on
the buying of a few thousand bales.
Otherwise there was no particular ac-
tivity but the later months advanced in
sympathy with July and the market
closed firm at a net gain of 1880 points.
For some days past certain of<the large
local houses have been advising July
shorts to cover before 1t was too late to
bring cotton here for delivery, and when
rumors were this afternoon circulated
that the indictments against the bull
leaders had been defective there was a
squirt of demand which ran July up
anywhere from 20 points between
sales. The bull leaders sold on the ad-
vance, but 1t was not until July reached
1915 or the highest level touched since
the middle of May that there was enough
cotton offering to ease the situation ana
even then there was comparatively lit
tie reaction with July closing at 1915.
The market opened steady at an adj
vance of points to q decline of 2
points, which was better than due on
the cables and while the weather map
was considered fairly good prices rose
after the opening on covering by yes
terdays sellers with the active months
selling I'D to a net advance of about 2
to points. When the demand from
shorts had subsidized, prices oased off to
about the closing figures of last night.
but the private reports of rain in the
Mississippi valley prevented any agrees
sive selling and in the late trading the
market was influenced by the strength
of July with the general list at one time
showing net advance of 1902 points.
Southern spot markets officially re-
ported early were unchanged to Mc low
err 1t Is reported that a new grand
jury will be called to consider the old
testimony with view to handing down
fresh indictments against the bull lead
