Heavy Buying in London
Livens Up Market.
OLD DULLNESS IN EVIDENCE
LefharEy Not ms Pronounced rs Pre-
viously, Howeyer-ExtremeIy Firm
Tndcrtone Displayed in All Sec
tions-Grcater Strength in the
Bond Market Is shown.

New York, March 2S-There was a de-
cided change to-day in the general char-
acter of stock exchange business. In
the first hour of the session greater
number of shares Of stocks was dealt III
t,ian throughout the entire STOCK eA-
change day on Monday, and the peculiar
feature of the market was that pracu-
cally all CT this activity was caused APP
parentIy by heavy buying Of stocks Tor
the account of London.
In the London market. before the
opening of business here, several or the
prominent American issues there were
>Iuoted 1T advances of point or more,
Canadian Pacific leading; and as soon
as our own stock market opened the
agents of London houses began to make
purchases freely, particularly of the Ca
madam Pacific, Union Pacific, AtchisGn,
and United States Steel stock
Old Dizziness Returns.
This, of course, lifted prices materially
all through the security list, but after
the buying movement had been in pro-
gress for some time it ceased, leaving
the market once more to the old dull
ness, which was not, however, as pro-
extremely firm undcrtone was displayed
in all sections OF the market, and such
profit-takinE as might have been eN-
Dccted on the advance appeared TO be re-
duCed to the minimum.
Then in the closing hour of business
the advance was resumed with even
greater vigor than before. and the last
prices made a strong general showing
of net gains. Doubtless to-day's market
was no less professional than it lately
has been: and it might very well have
been the case that the rise both yeSter-
day and to-day represented no more
than an attack upon the markets short
interest. 1t was indubitabie, however,
that the event has shown that prices
move upward with greater facility than
they decline.
Bonds Show Strength.
Whether the buying of stocks to-day
was or was not in the nature of pro-
fessional manipulation the greater
strength shown in the bond market was
certainly not manipulation and evidence
is accommodating that the increasing sup
plies of money in the banks are forcing
a renewal Of so-called institutional buy
ing of high grade securities. Moreover,
short term notes are not now being
brought out by the railroad companies
with the same rapidity as formerly.
Not 4 little attention was attracted to-
day by relatively large dealings in Union
arlhc preferred stock. This is a stock
that has latterly been Classed as almost
inactive. 1t has, of course. long been
a strictly investment issue, and no par
ficular reason could be advanced for the
activity and strength of the stock to-
day except that it has for a consider
able period been selling at too COW a
price considering its value.

DEATH DRAUGHT
TOOK PLACE Of
HARMLESS DRUG
MRS. CHILDERS is POISONED
&
Died Before Physician Could
Reach Her

Especial to the Times-Recorder)
Smithville, Ga, August 10, 1911.-
Thinking the drug she was taking
was a harmless dose of sal hepatica,
Mrs. Eta Childers swallowed early
this afternoon a dose of strychnine,
or some unknown poison, which caus-
ed her death before a physician could
reach her.
Mrs. Childers, who was the wife II
Mr.. Maud Childers, brother of Mr..
Jack Childers, of Americus, had been
sitting in the parlor of the Simpson
Hotel chatting pleasantly with friends
only few minutes before her death.
Though in the best of spirits, she had
complained of feeling slightly i'll soon
after the noon hour. She left the cir
Gle of friends where she had been
conversing, with the declaration that
she intended to take a dose of medi-
cine.
"lIulu d SuO1G tllllG ollSl oI1C Alfto
swallowed the supposedly harmless
drug, Mrs. Childers was seized by pa
roxysms and died before medical aid
could reach her. Upon the arrival of
a physician it was learned that the
bottle from which Mrs. Childers had
taken the medicine was not sal he
patica, as had been supposed, but
that some other powerful drug o"
drugs had displaced or been mixed
with the contents. A teaspoonful 3f
the unknown poison taken in place of
sal hepatica, which latter in such d
quantity would have been harmless,
caused death in a very short time.
Strychnine is supposed to have been
contained in the bottle, though no
definite analysis has been made. How
the poison came to be in the bottle
is a mystery, as there is no knowledge
of any ones having tampered with the
contents, while no motive for suicide
is entertained.
Prior to her marriage, which oc-
Cured only about six months ago,
Mrs. .Childers was Miss Eta Richards
son, of this place. She had large
circle of friends here and in adjoin-
ing towns, who will mourn her un-
timely death.

No STATEHOOD
YET allowed
TO ARIZONA
PRESIDENT USED HIS VETO
Recall Of Judges Opposed By
the President

Washington, August 15.-President
Taft's first important veto message
disappearing the joint resolution pro-
viding for the admission into the un-
ion of Arizona and New Mexico, was
sent to the house of representatives
today. The presidents disapprOval is
directed only at Arizona, in whose con-
stitution there is a clause providing
for the recall of all elective officers
including judges, but New Mexico suf-
fers also for both territories are coup
led together in the resolution. The
president already has approved the
constitution of New Mexico, but furth-
er legislation will be necessary to have
either territory admitted at this ses-
sion of congress, unless both the SEN
ate and house pass the present reso-
luton over the presidential veto. That
the veto may be overridden in the
house is not unexpected, but as to its
fate in the senate, there is much
doubt.
The president devotes his whole
message to a discussion of recall Of
judges. Himself a judge for many
years, he speaks with evident feeling
of proposal which he regards with
unconcealed disapprobation.
'If l sign this joint resolution" he
said, 81 do not see how | can escape
responsibility for the judicial recall Of
the Arizona constitution. This pro-
vision of the Arizona constitution in
it's application to county and state
! judges, seems to me so perncfous il
its effect, so destructive of independ.
ence in the judiciary, so likely to sub
ject the rights of the individual to the
possible tyranny of popular major
ity. and therefore, to be so injurious
to the cause of free government that
| must disapproye a constitution con-
tanning it."

THE CITY In DARKNESS
AS result OF BREAK
Electric Plant COIIapSGS For
Second Time

Again was Americus plunged in
Stygian darkness last night for the
second time quite recently and from
Brooklyn Heights and East Americus
to the Southside, two miles away, cit
liens groped in utter darkness, the
blackness being accentuated by the
occasional flash of an automobile head
light. The lighting plant suffered an
other breakdown of its engine, and
during the afternoon and night as we'll
power and lights We're out of COM
mission. Plants propelled by electric
power were forced to suspend busi-
ness, while in stores and dwellings,
where gas was not to be had the ever
reliable tallow candles of our fore
fathers were again brought into requi-
sition. The theatre and other public
buildings using electric lights We're
closed, the city clock was in the alb
ject darkness and AmeriCus again
resembled a village of the early for
ties. 1t is not known when repairs
at the electric plant will be effected,
but possibly today or tomorrow.

POLITICS In The THIRD
WILL SOON Be warm
Many EIigibIeS Are Mention
ed For Congress

COrdele, Ga, August 15.-There prom
ises to be heated political fight in
the proposed new Third Congression-
al District. Under the present plan
of redistricting, Dudley NJ. Hughes will
not be eligible to represent the new
district, consequently the new Third
will be without a congressman.
With this situation there is much
speculation among the politicians in
the district as to the probable candi-
dates for congressional honors.
Many warm political friends of
Thomas G. Hudson are beginning to
boost him, feeling that the legislative
investigation of his department will
be concluded by the time for him to
enter the race.
Besides, it has been known that it
lis Hudson's ambition to represent his
district in the national house. Many
thought that he would oppose Hughes
in his last race.
Then there is Judge WhippIe. Of
the Cordele circuit, who lives in this
city and who, rumor says, will re-
sign the judgeship at an early date,
and be a candidate for congress.
Judge Whipple has large follow
ing throughout the entire district and
many Of hiC friends are Sure that he
will be in the race. There is no doubt
but that he would be a very formid1-
Bile candidate.
Many predict also the entry of Judge
z. A Littlejohn of the Southwestern
circuit; Hon. Crawford Wheatley, Sen
ator Sheppard and Judge Crisp, all of
Sumter county. These gentlemen have
strong political followers and person
al friends and no doubt would make
| the race spirited and interesting.

new pump ENGAGED
FOR LOCAL STATION
Will Insure Safe Handling of
Water Situation

At special meeting of the waterworks
committee of the council held yester-
day morning, proposal for a new
pumping engine at the local pumping
station was accepted. This matter
was brought over from the meeting
of council on the previous night.
The cost of the new pump will ex-
ceed $4,000. The addition of this
to the station will, howey-
er, give it sufficient capacity to ham
die the local water supply in such
manner as to avoid the danger that
may arise from lack of sufficient re-
serve supply in case Of fire, or other
similar need.

BETTER ROADS IN KENT.

IT HE demand for improved highways in Kent
4 county is having considerable effect upon
the Levy Court which has recently invested more
than $1,000 in special machinery for use on the
highways. The machinery secured includes twenty
eight road drsgs, which are said to be superior
to the split log drag. The improving of the roads
is TO be done under the direction of the road over
seers. Each commissioner will have charge of the
work of road improvement in his district Several
complaints of bad roads have come before the
court lately. The people in one district got an
attorney to represent them in making the COM
plants.
All this shows the desire among the people for
better roads, but they will not get them so long as
the present method is followed The care of the
roads of Kent should be in charge of competent
engineer and until that plan is adopted money
will be wasted and no satisfactory road improve
ment accomplished.
1t is however, gratifying TO note that the road
subject is a live one in Kent.

THAT SNAP MEETING.

IF ANY one we're disposed to test the legality of
4 the snap meeting of the Democratic Council
men at which the functions of the City Auditor
and the City Treasurer we're usurped, it is highly
probable that the courts would not sustain such
carvings on"
Mayor Spruance was acting City Auditor. as
suming the duties of the regular City Auditor
although it is said that Auditor Kurtz was in the
city at the time.
The Mayor thus held temporarily two Offices
thar of Mayor and City Auditor, something which
IS believed to be contrary TO the provisions of the
law. And the same may be said of Councilman
McMuin, who was acting City Treasurer, al
though there is a regular City Treasurer compet-
ent 10 perform the duties of his Office
There certainly no justification for the
snap meeting with its irregular method of busi-
ness, clearly irregular if not absolutely illegal If
the action of the snap meeting is legal why could
not the members of Council or few of them.
meet as their fancy might dictate and appoint men
TO fiji the positions held by regularly appointed or
elected positions?
If the action is legal Councilmen at any time
could jam through any sort of measure that they
had in mind, ignoring the properly constituted au-
thorites The decision of Council in this matter
was not in accord with sound judgment or respect
for the law.
The entire affair, together with the conduct of
Council just before the close Of the campaign is
discreditable and tends TO bring the present method
into disrepute with those who wish the city to
have proper government
