ATLANTA MINISTER is
OUT FOR PROHIBITION
Saws II is Issue Of Present
Campaign

Atlanta, Oct. 31.-Rey Charles w.
Daniel, pastor of the First Baptist
church, Atlanta, has taken up the
cudgel of prohibition. and laid it
right s.outly upon the august pates
of two of the candidates for govern
or of Georgia.
The Baptist pastor did this at the
Sunday morning service in his church
on Peachtree. 1t came about as an
almost imperceptible depression from
the line of his orthodox sermon about
keeping up the good fight for the
faith He landed a couple of whacks
and got back to affairs more spiritual
almost before anybody realized that
a little new life, some rare real in
terest, had been injected into the
pending political contest.
DR.. Daniels remarks occasion all
the more interest when it is remem-
bered that two of the gubernatorial
candidates are members Of the Bap-
tist church, one of them holding his
pew in the Second Baptist church of
Atlanta.
Dr.. Daniels did not refer to any of
the candidates by name He left his
hearers to identify them by their own
avowals, which he quoted 1t would
therefore, appear that in the order in
which he referred to them, Judge r.
B. Russell was first, former Govern
or j. NJ. Brown, second, and J. Pope
Broyn third.
The pastors Sermon was directed
mainly toward encouraging his hear
ers to keep up the g66d fight for the
faith. So long as there is evil in
the world, said he, there will be the
conflict between it and good There
is such a thing as a good fight and
bad fight. To fight is neither wrong
nor right, per Sc. 1t may be one or
the other.

FOR TRIAL OF
MRS. I. M'REE
PROBABLY 2 DAYS ARGUMENT
Verdict is Expected Thursday
In the Case

Opclousas, La, Oct. 31-When
court opened this morning to continue
the trial of Mrs. Zee Runge McRee,
on the charge of numbering young
Allan Garland several weeks ago, it
appeared certain that the taking of
testimony would be finished late to-
day. The defense closed its case be-
fore the noon recess. Unless the re-
buttal testimony to be offered by the
prosecution is long drawn out, it is
likely that Wednesday and probably
Thursday will be devoted to argu-
ments A verdict is eXepcted Thurs
day
Judge Pavy ruled this morning that
the defense could quiz character wit
nesses concerning the time that Mrs
McRee was living in New Orleans and
Mississippi. Her attorneys then be
s&r with long list of the acquaint-
ances of the McRees. All of them
testified that Mrs. McRee's reputation
for truth and veracity and quiet living
was very good" The defense clos d
It's case subject to sur-rebuttal after
the testimony of j. e. Al
len, a neighbor of the McRees, who
ran irfo the McRee home soon after
the shots that killed Garland were
heard He said he first saw Mrs.
McRee in the yard; that she was 'eX-
cited or appeared to be, and that her
eyelashes were wet with tears.

AVERAGE CROP
IS NOW IN THE
LOCAL MARKET
$1,000 BALES TO YESTERDAY
Likely 10000 Will Be Re.
CGiVGd During Season

W..h a total of 33 300 bales wagon
co,ton marketed at Americus ware
| houses at the close of business last
night, the seasons receipts here al
ready exceed, by 500 bales, The entire
Icrop marketed here last season. And
there are yet two or three months
wherein the totals of this crop will
be increased, considerably.
Americus warehouses received last
season total of 32,7OO bales cotton
by wagon the output of a rather short
crop. Already this total is exceeded
by 600 bales, receipts to date, as sta
ted, aggregating $4,000 bales.
The figures herein given point clear
to two facts. The crop this season
is larger, and Americus warehouse
men are reaching into territory for
cotton that heretofore has gone 70
other markets.
This latter statement is substan-
tiated by warehousemen here, and re-
fleets the confidence imposed in
Americus as cotton market.
On October 31st, last year, the ware
house receipts here aggregated 1880.
The gain to date this season, there
fore, is 1880 bales over last October
81. AS yet, there are several thous-
and bales cotton in the fields to be
marketed here, and the seasons total
can safely be estimated at 10000 bales.
This total would break the record
on wagon receipts, the highest total
for any previous year, that Of 1905,
being $4,000 bales.
The receipts as given above do not
include the cotton received at the
compress from other points, as is
counted by many other towns. Amer
icus counts as receipts only the wagon
cotton hauled here from Sumter and
neighboring counties; cotton that is
sold here and the cash proceeds spent
in trade here.
Estimated at ten cents per pound,
the crop already marketed in Amer
icus is worth one million six hundred
and sixty-fve thousand dollars to the
farmers making it.

NEW WAY TO WEAR CLOTHES.
"Bill Nye of Indiana" Causes Sar-
tOrial Stir at Dinner.

Hammond, Ind, Oct. 31.-Something
new in evening wear was shown at a
function last night by Editor j. j.
Wheeler of Crown Point, the BILL Nye
of Indiana"
There was a general cry of astonish
ment when Wheeler made his way
across the dining hall, and men step
ped up on chairs to get better look.
As for Wheeler, he was astonished,
as the other guests by the sensation
he aroused
For the love of all tho syccamores
on the Wabash" he whispered to a
frienl, what's the matter with my
get-up?"
A dozen persons LED the humorist
to a glass, where he could see him
as others saw him. He had forgotten
to remove the coat hanger from his
claw hammer last year he absent
mindedly wore two dress suits" to
a dinner. 1t stiffened him SO he
thout his rheumatism was coming

WORLD WILL CONSUME
l3,73g,9l6 BALES COTTON
So Says Governor Of Lone
Star State

New Orleans, La, Oct. 31.--At to-
days session Governor Colquitt sub
United statistics relating to the
worlds demand for American cotton
of the present crop. The figures on the
demands of the mills of the country
are based on last years consumption.
The totals compiled show that the
spindles of the world will require a
total of 13,39,916 bales of the pres
ent American crop, or approximately
the same number of bales as shown
by the governments estimate of this
seasons crop.
Governor Colquitt directed atten-
ton to the fact that this is the first
time in the history of the country
that figures showing the demand for
cotton have ever been compiled and
presented for the benefit of the pro-
ducer
Accepting the governments esti-
mate of a l3,S0O,0OO bale crop IhlS
season, Governor Colquitt declared
that the demonstration Of world de-
mand for 13,7390O0 bales proves CON,
clusively that cotton to-day is worth
13 cents per pound or more. The aver
age price for last years crop was
t4.6O cents per pound.
with these figures before him, -
eaid Governor Colqultt, 'the farmer
should not hesitate to hold every re-
naming bale of the present crop un-
til the spinner comes across with
what he considers a remunerative
price. The figures were compiled by
foreign representatives Of the United
States government from authentic
sources and are reliable. This fact
should give confidence to the banker
and the business men of the South and
cause them to lend every encourage
ment to the farmer who shows a dis
position to hold"

NEW YORK HARBOR IS -
CROWDED WITH WARSHIPS
Seven Miles of Fighting Craft in the
HarbOr.

New York, Oct. 31-When the mists
lifted from the waters of the Hudson

view a grey line of fighting ships, eX-
tending seven miles up the river

she is due to seteam out of the Brook
lyn navy yard today and take her
place in the column.

fleet will be practically complete-102
ships of all classes with more than
10000 sailors and marines and 100
officers.

SAND WILL BE
CLEAREED FROM
new PAVEMENT
ON LAMAR STREET SECTION
New Pavement Should Be
Seen at Its Best Soon

All who splashed across Lamar
street in the mud over the new pave
ment yesterday will be glad to know
that this state of affairs is not to con-
tinue.
1t was planned from the beginning
to permit the surplus sand that was
placed over the newly laid pavement
to stay there for only short time, as
it was not the purpose of the arrange
ment for it to stay there permanently.
In fact, it was to have been removed
yesterday, had it not rained and inter
fered with the work.
1t requires only about two weeks un-
der favorable circumstances for the
particles of sand to filter in between
the crevices so as to effect the close
and solid pavement desired With
constant traffic this process is very
much accelerated.
AS soon as is convenient the sand
will be cleaned from the Lamar street
pavement, and it will be the purpose
Of the city authorities thereafter to
keep the pavement neat and clean all
the time. Only in this way will the
virtues of the pavement show up best
and most satisfactorily.
Some times the rains are helpful in
aiding in the process OF filing the
crevices, while at other times this is
not true But at any rate it is beliey-
ed that the first section of paving work
completed, that in front of the Wind
sor Hotel and the PostofIice is now
READY to have the sand cleared away
so as to give the pavement the appeat-
ance it should have permanently.
AS soon as the sand has been clear
ed away, the first peep will be given
at the way in which all of the city's
wood block paved streets should ap-
pear when entirely completed. The
handsome appearance of the street
then will be greatly in contrast with
what has been seen and experienced
as regards the sand and mud that has
covered the pavement since it was
laid

INSPECTION HAS
BEEN SUGGESTED
FOR The SCHOOLS
should PREVENT REPEATING
SuDGriRteRdGRt Miller FaVOFS
Medical Inspection

Medical inspection for the students
Of the public schools here is believed
10 be a necessary improvement 10 b.
made in the conduct Of the local sys-
TEN to give the work its highest de-
gree of efficiency
Such an innovation and improve
mpnt has been suggested and recon-
mended by Superintendent Miller,
who has given the matter careful con-
sfderarion as it has come before him
in his own particular work and rs
it has been shown to be necessary in
the conduct of schools elsewhere.
1t has been shown that there are
some pupils who are compelled 10
"rerca at" their studies in a grade,
that is to cover the same studies
twice. This is usually caused not
by mental inability on the part of the
student but by the fact that the stu
dent has not the proper health and
strength to pursue the studies as
should be the case.
Whenever the child is compelled
to repeat" it is an additional eX-
pens to the taxpayers of the city, as
has been pointed out by Sperinten-
dent Miller, and this money might
we'll be spent in preventing this con-
dicion rather than in trying to correct
it after it has been allowed to hap
pen. The cost of system of in
Spection such as is needed would be
very slight, it is believed, in com
parison with the good results that
would accrue.
Among the most common causes of
trouble with students is alenoids, eye
strain, or some trouble which produ-
ces general debility 1t is even be-
I4C'Cu III oOllt SCIlOOIS ludI EOOh"O III
is responsible for the poor showing
Of some students. Whether that is
true in the local schools is another
question, but simple and careful
medical inspection would easily
serve to show what the trouble is
with the students here who are COM
PEELED to repeat" or to drop out of
school on account of inability to main
tain their courses of study.
The recommendation for medical in
Spection has been placed before the
board of education, with the sugges-
ton that the City Physician be placed
in charge of the work. No recommen-
dation has yet been made in this par
ii ular by the board, but it is hoped
that some action will be taken on 1t
soon.
