Four Months Before Contract Will Be
Let For State Building.

Raleigh, N. c., June 29-The State
Building Commission, provided by the
last Legislature for erecting the $780,
900 fireproof State administration
building. has concluded conference
with the architects and the State
officers, whose departments are to be
given place in the new building, and
directed the architects to have the
blue print detail plans ready for bids
to be advertised for within ninety
days.
This means that it will be four
months before the contract for the
erection of the building can be given
out The commission also keeps to
itself the allotment of quarters for de
partments, those given place in the
new building being confidentially ,ad-
vised of that fact and given opportu
nifty to indicate to architects the fea
lures they desire in special design
of quarters. This is to- save the
Commission trouble through protests
and complaints from some eager to
get into the new building but voted
out by the Commission.

Ready For Textile Men.
k.IV.x'

Greenville, S. G AAo'
thing is in readin une conven-
ing of the Southern Textile Associa-
ton here Saturday, July 1st At a
meeting held of the local committee
in charge of arrangements for the
annual convention of the cotton mill
men of the South, final details of the
program were worked out. A com
mittee consisting of superintendents
of several of the cotton mills in
Greenville is in charge of the arrange
ments committee for the meeting,
and, with the able assistance of Sec
retary E. B. Adams, of the Board of
Trade, has mapped out a very at
tractive program for the entertain
ment of the visitors.
AS the time for the meeting draws
nearer indications point more and
more to the attendance being the
largest in the history of the asso-
citation. So far as the committee is
able to learn at present, the attend
ance will be something like four
hundred. Of this number some
three hundred will be members of
the association, the balance being
representatives of various supply
houses.

Prisoner Is Louis Gregory,

Richmond, Va; June 29.-Chfef of
Police Werner has received a tele-

went to Denver, Co, several days ago

man wanted and that he will shortly
be on his way to Richmond.
Captain Mcmahon took the neces-

rado, and will probably be returned

ecutive today, according to the tele-
gram. The detective and his prisoner

Maine May Give Up Secrets.

Havana, June 29.-The work on the
wreck of the battleship Maine is still
confined to balancing the contents OF
the cylinders, caulking, and dumping
into the cofferdam broken stone.
Surprise has been excited here by
the opinions attributed to Gen. w. III.
Bixby, chief of the engineers in
charge of the work of raising the
Maine, who, upon his arrival at
Tampa, was quoted as saying that he
did not expect that the secret of the
Names destruction would be reveal
ed or that bodies would be recovered
The engineers here feel that the
first belief is not fully justified in
advance of the examination of the
ships bottom They also have strong
expectations of discovering the bones
of many sailors when the berth deck
and the section below is reached.
Thus far, the explorations have in
yo1ved only the main deck, where dis
coveries were not expected.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Cotton Letter

New York, June $3.50 intent is
the interest of the trade in the con-
dition of. the Texas crop that the
course of the market is a reflection Of
the weather, as affecting it from day
to day. Thus the decline of last
week was brought about by the local
rains, which fell in scattered sections
of that State, and the recovery from
the decline is the visible expression
Of the idea that the showers were
insufficient to break the drought or
the heat, which have prevailed for
several weeks over large area.
AS the summer months have shown
great weakness and declined relative
ly more than the new crop, the mar
ket has assumed that the leading long
interests have transferred their hold
ingS to the new crop, on the theory
that at the lower range of prices and
with the uncertainty as to the Texas
situation the opportunity for an ad-
vance was greater than in the rem
nant of this seasons crop.
Elsewhere, throughout the cotton
belt, the needed rains have fallen just
where and when they were wanted,
so that the present outlook for the
crop everywhere, except in the South
west, is better than for many sea-
sons.
1t is apparent to every one that a
large crop of cotton is needed the
coming season for the actual require
ments --of the mills and for the relief
of the present condition OF the spins
ming industry. Therefore, we expect
the market will reflect the great
anxiety which they feel over the
situation. This feeling will bring
about many sharp fluctuations, which
cannot be foreseen or forecasted any
more than the weather can be deter
mined in advance.
When we recall that we are passing
through the end of two small crops,
one of which was the greatest disas-
ter the cotton trade have ever known,
it is not surprising that the most
conservative houses in the trade do
not care to entertain any positive
views as to the future. They know
that large crop is needed. but they
do not know whether it will be grown
or not, unless this drought in Texas
is relieved by copious rains.

ing sought by investors whose atten-
ton has been directed to the excel

ers' Association at the time of it's re-
cent convention in Americas has just
received an inquiry from large cor
poration which wishes to invest in a

of the convention by a representative
of the firm mentioned Mr.. Smithwick
has furnished the corporation with all
the aid he can give in directing them
toward the purchase of suitable lands
If the new nursery is established, i

uncle SAM TO IMPROVE
HIS PARK In AMERICUS

The long delayed work of improV-

the new postoffice building here has
been started, and the surroundings
will soon be rendered much more 1t
tractive in every way. A concrete
wall reaching from the street along
side the hotel across to Lee street
is being constructed and marks the
north boundary line of the govern
ment property. The grounds, lit
tie later in the season, will be broken
up and a fine Bermuda grass sod
planted there. Now that Uncle Sam
is doing so much in improving his
grounds here, it would seem that Miss
Americus would follow suit and be-
gin the long delayed work of improy-
ing the City Hall Park, which is now
an eyesore of neglect instead Of the

agone.

not only will occupy large quarters
here, but will also afford employment
in time to scores of busy toilers in the
several departments of big busi-
ness.
While the capital stock is s200,0)C

FOR AMERICUS and SUMTER
Advertising Matter to Be Dis.
tributed Soon

Another advertising car, similar to

in behalf of Americus and this sec
ton by Messrs Rylander and Hooks
on their way from Providence, R. l., 70
Americus, will be instituted soon
when Mr. r. S. Broadhurst begins his
trip by automobile to North Carolina.
AS the territory to be traversed lies
within convenient distance of Ameri-
Gus, it is thought that the publicity
hus obtained will be of very great
value. Circulars and folders similar
to the ones recently sent to Messrs
Hooks and Rylander will be prepared
by the Board of Trade and turned
over to Mr.. Broadhurst when he leaves
IAmericus.
In this way, further helpful public
ity will be obtained for this section
at very small cost, as the sole ex
pense occurred is for the issuance oi
the folders that are distributed en-
route. Secretary White, Of the Board
Of Trade. will prepare circulars foi
