New Center OF Population.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The center
Of poulation of the United States
was announced yesterday by E. d.
Durand, director Of the census, as in
the western part of the city of Bloom
ington, Monroe county, Indiana
This is eight miles further west than
the location announced July 17th,
which Director Durand placed four
and one-Iuai ter miles south Of Un-
ionville, in the same county.
The change in the location Of the
center Of population since July 18th
is due to the discovery of an error
made in the census Office. Two
clerks worked separately in comput-
ing the geographical location, but
both made the same error and the
wrong result was published as the
census Office determination Of the
spot. The movement Of the center
OF poulation 80 miles westward is
due to the increase Of poulation on
the Pacific coast.

of their safety as the steamer lay
looked as if she was going to pieces.
She was humping at times. The pas
sengers had the life preservers about
their bodies and 1t was said that
Capt. Connolly even issued orders to
the passengers to take to the sea at
the next heavy thump of the ship,
fearing that that thump would mean
the total destruction of the ship.
Finally the Yamacraw came to
the assistance of the vessel about
$50 o'clock Monday afternoon. The
waves were still shooting over the
vessel and the wind blowing with
such hurricane force that Capt.
West was unable to approach very
close to the vessel in the rescue Of
the passengers. She took a position
mile or more off Hunting Island
and the surf boats were sent to the
assistance OF the vessel. Two boats
were launched, one in charge of
Lieut.. Aherne and the other OF
Lieut.. Yandoll.
Almost every passenger received
bruises, scratches and minor inju-
| rieS, as their persons generally show
| ed to-day. They had been fourteen
hours without food, and especially
the women, all were In a severely
| shocked and nervous condition. They
| all spoke most appreciatively to-day
| of the services Of Capt. West and the
| officers and crew Of the cutter. The
| passengers had their doubts about
! tho ability Of the officers and crews
| of the vessels to handle them in the
sea, but it was done quickly and

ing OF the men who engage in this
| work

STANDARD OIL co. NO MORE.
So Far AS Its Presen. Form OF Func-
tions are Concerned.

New York, Aug. 31.-The Stand
ard Oil Company Of NeH Jersey, the
corporation which has been the
storm center Of antitrust agitation
through the country for years, to-
day passed out Of existence as far as
its present form of functions are
concerned.
After to-day this famous corpora
ton will cease officially to carry on
It's operations as the head of vast
organization whose activities extend
into almost every part Of the world.
In obedience to the decree Of disso-
luton Of the Supreme Court it is to
relinquish its control Of the subsid-
larry concerns, and to-day was the
date set for the end of the old re-
gime.
Standard Oil stock was traded in
to-day at about 1926 per share.
The New Jersey company, in addi-
ton to, acting as the holding corpo-
ration, conducts a large oil business
and has extensive property holdings.
The company, however, has never
made a public report and no oppor-
tunity has been afforded for gauging
the value of its business and Of it's
tangible assets.
An official of the company said to-
day the only element of doubt as to
the general effect Of reorganization
upon the present stockholders lay in
the ability Of the constituent COM
panies, operating independently, to
produce as large a total of profits as
has been possible under the present
management.

IRA Ii. JONES FOR GOVERNOR.
Possibility Of His Candidacy is Taken
Seriously.
~ columbia Record

the State Supreme Court, may be-
come a candidate for Governor is
possibility that is being taken seri-
ously. Several newspapers have
commented on his fitness for the po-
sition, and the Lancaster News, the
home paper of the Chief Justice, in
its last issue, reproduces these COM
ments and adds the following:
ut Is very gratifying to Judge
Jones hosts of friends here to know
that their distinguished felloy
townsman Is being urged to enter
the gubernatorial race and it Is
earnestly hoped by them that he will
be prevailed upon to do SO.
Judge Jones would make an ideal
Chief Executive. His irreproacha-
Bile private character and spotless
public record, his pre-eminent abil-
ity, nne discriminating judgment
and universally recognized imparti-
ality in the administration of justice,
his wide knowledge Of men and af-
fairs, peculiarly and happily fit him
for the Office Of Governor of South
Carolina.
"As a candidate for the office,
Judge Jones would be irresistible.
He has no superior in the State as a
stump speaker. Ever cool and delib-
crate, quick and ready in debate, re-
sourceful, firm and courageous, elO-
Quent and forceful in every way, the
Judge is a man whom few if any
would care to tackle in public dis
cussions before the people in Il polt-
ical campaign"
Career of Chief Justice.
The commanding ability of the
Chief Justice is everywhere recog
nized. and his decisions have i'm
pressed the bar with his learning
and his fairness. During his SER
vice on the Supreme Bench he, has
followed South Carolina tradition,
and has not participated in politi-
cal fights at all, but he is by no
means tyro in the political game.
He served in the House of Repre-
sentatives from Lancaster county
from 1890 to 1896. He was chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee when Speaker j. l.. NJ. Irby was
elected Senator to succeed Wade

COTTON SHOWS MATERIAL LOSS.
On Special Reports Condition Crop
is Reported at 1910 Per Cent.

New York, Aug. 31.-According
to 1900 replies Of special cor
respondents of the Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin,
bearing an average mail date Of Au-
gust 1924, the percentage condition
of growing cotton on that date was
72.6, as compared with Sc month
ago, a deterioration for the period
under review Of Il 4.3 points. This
compares with TOT per cent last
year; 66 per cent in 1909; 1871
per cent in 1908, and 1919 in 1907.
The ten-year average is 73 per cent
and the loss of 14.3 points during
August is the greatest in that month
in the past ten Years.
Bad in Texas and Oklahoma.
The most important declines oc-
Cured in Texas and Oklahoma, re-
spectively, PA points and 1871
points wherever droughts and hot
winds and worms caused heavy
shedding.
Well-informed and conservative
correspondents incline to the belief
that the deterioration shown in this
months crops reports has been un-
duly exaggerated, consciously or mn
consciously, by the active agitation
in the cotton belt against large crop
estimates. These returns must
therefore. be accepted accordingly,
and due allowance made for popular
lies.
Indicated Yield.
In 1906 the August condition re-
