FASHION PUTS BAN ON CORSETS.
Venus de Milo Effect to he the Real
Thing This Winter.

St. Louis, Mo-, Aug. 23.-There are
no rats at the made in st. Louis
show, which opened Monday at the
Coliseum. There are women in
trousers, silk ones, but the ban was
put on rats last night at the rehearsal
salon of the twelve models who have
been named the Perfect Thirty-Six-
es." The fashion meteor from Paris, ac-
cording to local correspondence OF
the New York Herald, told the models
to be in style next winter and spring
they would have to look like Venus
de Milo. Venus didn't wear corsets
and the fashion mentor told the mod
els it is impossible to look as If you
didn't have corsets If you wore rats.
Moreover, she said, corsets would be
tabooed this autumn and winter.
The models display shows there Is
to be a revolution in women's dress
styles for the next season. Curves
and the mincing step that goes with
the hobble skirt are to disappear. The
corsetless natural figure will be the
thing. Trousers are to replace the
petticoat in this effort to realize the
natural figure for women, but few
women doubtless will follow the
trousers idea-in public.

HOLD YOUR COTTON.
Congressional Committee Advise:
Holding for Thirteen Cents.

Washington, Aug. 23.-After dis
cussing what was referred to as the
threatening condition of the cotton
MARKET" a conference of Southern
senators and representatives through
a committee consisting of Senators
Williams, of Mississippi, and Owen,
of Oklahoma, and Representative
Burleson, of Texas, decided to give
formal advice to farmers organiza-
tions to "hold cotton for thirteen
cents" A committee will urge the
State banking associations to coop
crate against "the bearish movement
of the spectators. -.
The committee which will advise
farmers to "hold for thirteen cents
issued a statement to-day, which says
in part:
Effort to Break Market.
1T seems to be the opinion of all
that there was a preconcerted effort
being made, principally through the
instrumentality of the speculative
element of the New York Cotton Ex-
change, to break down the price of
cotton. It was the opinion of all that
the present statistical condition of
cotton did not justify the lowness OF
present quotations, and that the es-
innate of 100000 was unjustifed
by any facts upon which a prediction
could be sanely based, and that, more
over, even if a 15,000,000-bale crop
were in sight; the worlds supplies
still probably would fall short of the
worlds demand for cotton to the ex-
tent of more than 100000 bales,
because of the exhaustion of the pres
ent visible supply of carried-over
spot cotton. In other words, with a
100000 American crop, the
worlds crop for 1911 would sum up
only 25,000,000 with 140,000,000 of
spindles creating an active demand
for 26,000,O00 bales. This opinion
was based upon the latest advices
from Egypt, India, China and other
cotton producing countries.
Bankers to Aid.
Information was given at the In
formal conference that assurances
would be given to President Barrett
or to Southern bankers that ample
funds from banks outside of the
South could be had through the in
strumentality of Southern financial
institutions to be lent at the rate OF
per cent. per annum to those who
did not wish to dispose of their cot
ton at a sacrifice upon cotton ware
house statistics.

HAIR CLIPPER HELD.
Pittsburg Beauties Weepingly Sc
lect Their Own Tresses.

Pittsburg, Aug. 24.-Eighteen
locks of beautiful hair, each shock
tied with baby blue ribbon, were
found yesterday afternoon in the
trunk of Frank Rickerl, "the hai1
SHIPPER" who was arrested Saturday
night after he had shorn away the
beautiful tresses of Mrs. Florence
Timberlain in the Fifth Avenue The

twelve of his closely-cropped victims,
all Pittsburg beauties, weepingls
gathered around a table that looked
like a hair dressing bargain coun-

Crop Off 80 to so per Cent.

Crop OH 81 10 OO per CenC.
Montgomery, Aug. 23.-Dr. w. E.
Kinds, State entomolgist, tonight
predicted that the caterpillar or cot
ton worm will curtail the cotton crop
in this State from 80 to so per cent.
and that within the next few weeks,
other States east Of the Mississippi
river would feel the full force of the
pest. The worms are beginning to
work in Mississippi, he said, and he
is getting reports from other States
of their appearance. It is an impos-
sibility, stated DR.. Hinds, for the
South to make a ffteen-million bale
crop this season. In this and in
other States the rains have ruined
the middle crop and the worms are
about to get the top crop. The bot
tom crop is practically made in most
States and this will be the main crop
gathered.
The second crop Of worms is now
at work and the third will come on
about the middle of September. He
does not think the danger will be
over before the middle Of October.

81 was visiting relatives in North
Carolina" one of the group said.
Zone of the girls whom was visiting
had given a party and we had been
very gay all the evening, so I had
gone to bed with no sense Of uneasi-
ness about any member of my family,
who were in distant State, and, 80
far as I knew, well and happy.
'I dreamed that I saw my mother
lying on her bed, white and Ill, and
about her all her children gathered,
with the exception of myself. l
thought I stood far off, struggling to
get to her through heavy white
mist that seemed to hold me i'm
prisoned. The dream came to me
three times and at daylight I arose
and went to my aunt's room, telling
her of the vision and the anxiety l
felt about my mother.
"The family tried to laugh me out
of my fears, but persisted in my be-
lief that my mother was i'll. No bad
tidings came that day, but several
days later I received letter, writ
ten on the night of my dream, telling
me that my mother had been taken
i'll suddenly and her life dispaired Of
that night, but was pronounced out
Of danger at the time of my sisters
writing. All of the children but my
self had been gathered about her
bedside, and I believe my mothers
spirit called to me through space
that night"

READERS CRITICISED.
Blease will Ask State Board to Can.
eel Contract.

eel Contract.
Governor Blease stated Thursday
afternoon that he, as chairman ex
oficio of the State board Of educa-
ton, at the meeting to be held here
Monday, August 2Sth, will ask the
board to cancel the contract for the
Heart of Oak" readers, adopted at
the last session of the board, when
textbooks for five years in the schools
of South Carolina were adopted.
This statement by Governor Blease
follows the action Wednesday Of the
South Carolina division, United Con-
federate veterans, who at their busi-
ness session passed resolutions con-
demning the readers.
Governor Blease said he had no
idea such a statement as that print
ed was in any of the books adopted,
this reference being to selection In
in one of the Heart of Oak readers
which is said to refer to the Confed-
crates at Shiloh as "a dark rebellious
host" Governor Blease further
stated that if he had known that
such "libel upon the South" was
printed in any book adopted by the
board, he would then and there have
registered his protest. He said that
his attitude was well known In this
matter by his stand in the Waddy
Thompson history controversy. The
governor also stated that he was not
present when the readers were adopt
ed by the State board of education,
being called out of the city at that
time.
'tI will bring the matter to the at
tention of the board at its meeting
here on the 2sth,' concluded the
governor, land I will use my influ-
ence to the end that the contract
with the firm be cancelled"
It was stated by the chairman OF
the board of education that the meet
ing on the 2Sth is called to con-
slider protests from publishing COM
panies, and to hear appeals from
the several counties as to school mat
ters. The governor has formal pro-
test from one of the publishing
houses as to the Interpretation of
the contract with the State.
Veterans Protest.
The following is the protest regis
tered Wednesday by the resolution
of the old soldiers:
"Whereas, The Heart of Oak read
ers recently adopted for use In the
public schools of this State, contain
on page 225 of the fourth book a
selection that refers to the Southern
army at Shiloh as a dark rebellious
host and,
"Whereas, we, the United Confed-
crate veterans of South Carolina thus
assembled, believe that the principles
and truths for which we fought are
just as vital to-day as they were
when we left our homes and families
to defend them with our lives and
fortunes, and,
"Whereas, we further believe that
the books taught in our free school
system, where alone our children
have an opportunity to learn these
truths, should be free from any as
pensions or misrepresentation, eth
er by direction or indirection;
''Therefore, be it resolved: That
we most seriously protest against
the use of the above named readers
and respectfully but earnestly call
upon the State board of education to
take immediate steps whereby read
ers or any other books containing any
or all such expressions rejecting
upon the truth of the cause for which
we fought may not be forced upon
our children" =
