COTTON DAMAGED MILLIONS.
Anthracnose Has Attacked the Plant
with Disastrous Results In Many
Section OF the State.

Columbia, s. c., Sept. 1s.-The cot
ton crop Of South Carolina has been
damaged to the extent Of several
million dollars by anthracnose,
disease which has attacked the plant
In many sections Of the State. The
State department of agriculture has
been for the past week flooded with
samples OF the havoc that has been
wrought and many farmers are seek
Ing information as to how conditions
may be remedied. The department
has given information to all letters
as to how the disease may be eradi-
Gated. Various estimates Of the dam
ages wrought have been made. A
conservative estimate OF the damage
n about s4.OoO.OOo.
The county farm demonstration
agents have also sent many samples
TO Ira w. williams. the State agent
employed by the United States gov
ernment
After making an examination OF
several samples Mr.. williams has
addressed the following letter to a
well known farmer in Aiken county:
The cotton bolls you sent me re-
cesved. thank you very much for
sending them. The trouble. without
doubt Is what you have seen written
about. called anthracnose. There IL
ncthing you can do to prevent the
spcsad of the disease this season. q.
method OF fighting the disease is 10
select cotton seed from the fields
Wnere the disease has never appear
ed. as the germ will live I'm the seed
from one year to another. II a field
Is affected II is best to rotate the
crop. putting some other crop in the
land for another year. as the esrns
will live on the stalks and burrs left
In the fields. and therefore attack the
plant the next year. II also attacks
some kinds OF cotton more than 9TH
e's. The Cook cotton. have found
~ subject to the disease. while Cleve-
land big boil is largely resistant"
Many letters Of similar nature have
been sent out to farmers residing in
all sections Of tho State. All experts
are agreed that when a crop has been
attacked there is nothing that will
save the crop for that year. The ro-
tation OF crops seems to be the only
plan to eliminate the disease accord
Ing to those who have made a study
OF Ii. Many OF the farmers have
been advised to plant corn and Sc
cure pure cotton seed not affected by
the disease for the next year.
The appearance Of the disease has
caused much uneasiness among
many OF the farmers. Many thought
that the boil wevil had arrived.

THE WfGWAM.

In recognition of the fact that there must be among the thousands of vis- itors to this city during fair week a large percentage of people who are lovers of good music, Manager George D. Mullen, who is presenting the young ladies symphony orchestra as an attraction, has arranged an es- pecially pleasing program which will be inaugurated this evening and which is of that high class that is certain to please. Every member of this or
 chestra, which is under the direction and leadership of Miss Lois Kelly, is an artist and a master of her particu
 lar instrument. Each has been identi- fled with the Ladies' Symphony Or chestra of Chicago. than which there is no more famous or highly praised musical organization in the world. The selections cover a wide range of themes and the rendition is in every instance faultless. Miss Kelly. besides directing the organization, appears as violinist, and the depth of tone and harmony which she causes to emanate from the instrument makes it thing

almost human. Miss Ethel Hall, so- pranO, has a voice of wonderful rich ness and sweetness, and there has never been an occasion when she ap- peared before a Phoenix audience when she was not called upon to re- spond to an encore. The illustrations which are shown during her solo work are most beautifully colored and ex- tremely realistic, adding much to the effectiveness of her singing. Miss Halls enunciation is perfect, every word being clear and distinct. MT Mullen, for many years a trombone soloist with Gilmores band, renders selections upon his chosen instrument that both please and captivate. With 5000 feet of the very highest class moving pictures, a program at cnce pleasing and entertaining is com pleted. The entertainment begins sharply at o'clock and runs contin- until 10: 30- o'clock and popular prices prevail

Finances and Markets

New York, Nov 7-The stock mark ct came to the eve of the elections in state of semi -stagnation but how Ifar that condition was due to solici- tude over the political outcome did not clearly appear Union Pacific came forward into great prominence supplanting Reading in the position second to United States Steel. The proportion of United States Steel to the total dealing was maintained at near one third and the combined dealings in, Union Pacific and Read ing exceeded slightly the combined dealings in United States Steel. The reason for the increased attention given to Union Pacific was not forth coming The market closed irregular but with renewed up-bidding of Union Pacific for sustaining purposes.
 Statistics of the copper producers association for October were a dis tinct disappointment. The publication also was made in advance of the usual period for its appearance, suggesting purpose to hasten the disclosure of its contents
 The early publication coincided with the active collection of new rumors concerning the copper trade and the supposed intention to advance prices of the copper industrials. The effect showing on copper industrials was partly neutralized by revived rumors of the harmonization of the princi pal American copper interests.
 The money position seemed uncer tain. Time loans were strong and call money again touched "A per cent, last weeks maximum. The private discount rate advanced in London. Foreign exchange markets here contin- ued to recede, the Paris exchange rate especially yielding sharply.
 Bonds irregular. Total sales. par value, $2,327. 900. United States bonds unchanged on call.
