In wake of the man trundling the

came yesterday another wanderer in
the person of C. P. Johnson, of Topeka,
who is walking his way to fame, and
of course, generously dropped in upon
Americas en- route in his tryout for
the customary cash wager.
Johnson is hardy hiker, and within
the limited period of 365 days he will
walk himself into the capital city of
forty-five states, or else forfeit claims
to an immense fortune wagered by ad-
miring friends in Kansas.
Since November 21st last, he has
been counting crossties on the leading
railway systems, his sole travelling
companion being a guinea pig carried

CONDITIONS ARE
FAVORABLE SAYS
THE TRADESMAN
WEEKLY REPORT OPTIMISTIC
Cotton Area, However, May
Be Reduced

Chattanooga, Tenn, March Is
The conclusion of this week finds
continuation of favorable conditions
as a whole. according to The Trades
man. Crops are generally reported
in a favorable condition. Cotton areas
NAV be measurably reduced as the ef-
feet of the unusually late rains, max
ing soil preparation impossible.
Floods down the Mississippi valley
are covering the low lands and al
though causing local destruction and
suffering amongst the laboring class,
the deosited mud will add to the fer
tility of the land. Money continues in
fair demand, but no encouragement is
held out to loans for speculative pur-
poses.
The English coal strike guaran-
tees a strong demand for food stuffs
from this country whilst local labor
troubles rather menace the horizon
Teh metal markets seem encouraging
and the textiles are improved by con
clusion of strike conditions in New
(England. Whilst conditions seem ia
ivorable, caution is advisable.

BURGLARS WERE

LARGE BOOTY WAS SECURED
BuggleS Used to Garry Away

Blackshear, Ga, March 28.-Eight
places of business, including the post
office and the Citizens bank, were en-
tered by robbers here during last night
but booty amounting in value to less
than $1,000 was secured.
Plate glass windows were smashed
and small windows forced in effecting
entrance to all places visited by the
thieves. No attempt was made to
force the vault in the bank, but all
drawers and desks were well search
ed
At the postofice a small quantity of
stamps and silver was taken. The
stores entered were those of Alex Gill
more, John Thomas, Strickland Broth
ers, Ratliff & Sons, Taylor & Milton
and the Memory Grocery Co.
Among the articles reported miss
ing are diamond ring, two gold
watches, knives and other hardware,
shoes and various merchandise from
the dry goods stores.
No clues were left by the midnight
visitors, but it is believed they were
amateurs.
From tracks about the places
broken into it seems that buggy was
used to make the getaway The di-
rection taken is in doubt, but tracks
indicate that the party left Blackshear
headed west
A reward of $10O is offered for in
formation that will cause the arrest

Cincinnati, March 2S.-Jing1ins
money atthe mass and making change
in the house Of God will cease in the
Catholic churches in Southern Ohio at
the close of the present year, it was
announced today by Archbishop Noel
Ter.
The jingling and money changing
will give way to a system of renting
pews by the month or the year. In
this way, according to The prelate, the
drifting of worshippers from church
to church will be checked, and more
attention is likely to be paid to the
service.
The archbishop tells his priests in
a circular that the custom of contrib
uting a nickel or a dime during each
service is a nuisance.

The occasion for the gathering Of
the leaders of the commercial develop
ment of Georgia is the 18th annual

ment of the committee on rules and

that appreciation and heartfelt thanks
known only to those whose lives call

pressed in more fitting terms, the
hearty welcome which awaits the
