STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Politics, Money, Foreign Selling
Cause Decline in Prices.

Considering all the conditions, both
home and foreign, with commission
houses advising customers to wait. and
with bear interest of growing proper
tons predicting lower prices, it could
hardly have been expected that the
market would do otherwise than 1t did
yesterday and sell off. There was lit
tie expectation of support, which would
attempt to stem a local tide bent on
fostering q convenient short interest,
one that later will materially assist the
believers in future higher prices to send
the market up when the opportune pc
riod shall arrive. Foreign sentiment was
still depressed, and the London market
for American stocks came in showing
losses, which fact discouraged long
traders in this market. The general
subjects under discussion which offered
food for debate were politics, the prob
able range of money rates, foreign
liquidation and the outcome Of the
that each subject suggested there was
an abundance of material for either
favorable or unfavorable interpreta-
ton, to suit the kaleidoscope moods Of
spectators. The market opened with
the Street as a rule having no fixed
disposition, but ready to take either
side that displayed the greater force.
Initial quotations were fractionally off,
but some buying was in evidence, and
the tone seemed rather steady during
the early part OF the morning. Near
the noon hour weakness became very
evident and prices sold off, especially
Reading. Canadian Pacific, United
States Steel and Amalgamated Copper.
Declines continued, and in the after
noon there was little to stimulate a
recovery. At o'clock there had been
26,050 shares Of Amalgamated traded
in, showing a net loss in price Of 2ss
points from Mondays close; $1,000
shares of Union Pacific, showing a net
loss of 2 points; $1,000 shares Of
United States Steel, showing a net
loss Of IL points; $4,000 shares Of
Reading, off BIZ points, and on transac-
tions Of $3.50 shares of Canadian Pa
cifc the net loss was 52s points from
Mondays final price. In the late trad
ing there was some recovery due to
short covering and little buying in
duced by the break. The closing was
irregular, and the continued foreign
selling up to the final transactions Of
the day did not stimulate any bullish
enthusiasm. Nothing in the actual un-
deriving conditions OF the country as
shown in the news yesterday displayed
any unfavorable symptoms. Railroad
reports made public showed gains, and
call money in the local market had an
easier tone. Cable advices during the
afternoon seemed more cheerful re-
garding the probable settlement Of the
Balkan war without involving other
countries. From conflicting reports, the
uncertainty regarding the trend Of
money during the week and the very
much unsettled condition abroad the
present does not look like any marked
activity on the bull side. This week
will be sufficiently filled with events to
be interesting.

NEW YORK CURB.

In the curb market yesterday gener-
ally strong tone developed after the out
set. with fair activity shown In the lead
ing issues. The tobacco stocks continue
the most prominent, United Cigar stores
OF America moving up nearly point.
British american Tobacco, after a slight
recession, recovered. Tobacco Products
preferred, after an early recession OF
nearly a point, recovered and advanced
fractionally further. Manhattan Transit
was dull and about steady United States
Motor issues continued weak on more
liberal offerings. The copper shares de-
veloped firmer tone and a little more
activity. Greene-Cananea and Braden
moved up fractionally The silver stocks
were almost entirely neglected and easier
I'm spots. Bonds were dull and about un-
changed. In the late afternoon a heavy
tone developed and in some cases the
early gains were wiped out. Trading In
Nevada mining stocks was on a moderate
scale and only slight changes in prices
occurred TOnopah Jim Butler was Of
fered down from Goo to &c, where good
support appeared. North Star opened at
40c and under heavy professional trading
was forced to sales at Csc, closing at the
bottom. West End sold at 81 6SSt and
Tonopah Extension at $3.50. Tonopah
Mining and Belmont showed a fractional
loss on a few sales. In the Goldfeld
group Jumbo Extension changed hands
at SIC and Atlanta at 2Oc. The rest or the
list was quiet and practically unchanged.

Mr.. EDISONS COUNTRYsHOME
Electricity Has Brought Him All the
Comforts and COnVeniences of
the City Residents.

Mr. Thomas A. Edison has fitted
up a farm house of eleven rooms
in order to show what comforts and
conveniences a farmer can have by
means of electricity. The house is
heated and lighted and the cooking
is done by electricity, the dumb
waiter and washing machine are run
by the same power, and the doors
open and close and the windows lock
and unlock through the same agency.
There is an electric photograph for
the reception of dictated messages
and even the incubator is operated
by electricity. There is also a NOV
ing picture outfit for the amusement
of the family on winter nights. All
are operated by small gasoline en-
CINE and dynamo and a storage bat
terry stores enough power to run the
entire plant FIVE hours. Thus cleo
tricity brings the comforts and con-
veniences of the city to the farm
home.

DOESN'T FEAR BULL MOOSERS
Congressman Roddenbery Says He
Would Welcome Opportunity to
Lick a MOOser."

BROWNSVILLE. = Congressman
S. A. Roddenbery, who arrived home
yesterday from Washington, is Of
the opinion tina the democrats will
have a walkover in the presidential
election this year, and says the gen.
eral belief in political circles in
Washington is that Wilson will be
elected president by an overwhelm-
ing majority. Judge Roddenbery is
one of the members of congress who
left on Saturday, fully expecting
congress to adjourn that night.
When asked what he thought OF a
bull moose candidate to oppose him
the congressman from the Second
seemed very much amused, and said
he would enjoy the opportunity to
lick a mooser," but didn't think
there was any prospect of finding
any one in this neck Of the woods
who was willing to run upon that
ticket, and thought there was little
chance of finding enough material to
organize a bull moose party around
here.

should withdraw his motion"
Mr.. Wilson glanced at the gallery

Senator Bacon Will Spend Month
Speaking in Doubtful States for
Wilson and Marshall.

ATLANTA.-Se Senator Bacon arriv-
ed in Atlanta on Wednesday direct
from Washington, where he remain
ed until the adjournment of con-
gress. He expressed much regret
that it was impracticable for him to
reach Macon in time for the conven-
tion.
Speaking of the magnificent vote
given him in the primary he said:
81 am simply overwhelmed by the
unsurpassed kindness and the great
honor bestowed upon me by the peo-
pie of Georgia Everything within
nv power will certainly be devoted
by me in an effort to serve them
faithfully and efficiently. l know
that no labor and no sacrifice on my
part can repay the debt of gratitude
1 owe them"
Senator Bacon has already prom
ised to give most of the month OF
October to the work of the demo-
cratic national committee, and Will
during that month canvass several
northern states under the direction
of the committee. This he has here
tofore done actively during each OF
the last four presidential campaigns,
so the work is nothing new or un-
tried to him.

HAVE YOU FOUND ANY OF HrMg
Several Portions of Man Discovered
in Chewing Tobacco.

Some time ago we mentioned
about a citizen of this county finding
portion of a negro's scalp in
plug of tobacco. So, last week. Mr..
Martin Beck, another one of Lump
kin's citizens, while chewing away,
struck something unusually tough.
He looked and found it to be either
toe or a finger nail, which caused
Mr.. Beck to believe that it belonged
to the negro mentioned above, and
that the rest of him may be found
later on in the tobacco If he has not
already been chewed up.-Dahlon-

he found persons tooth in a plug

1000 WOULD Be HIS BRIDE
THAT MANY WOMEN WRITE TO
POLICEMAN WORTH 81, zoo, 900.
Nome Alaska Girl Thinks She's Eli
oibIe Because She ''Darns Socks
and Isn't a Silly Suffragette.

NEW YORK.-"Can women be so
foolish?" remarked Policeman Chas.
Marchant of Westfeld, N. j., as he
started to open the sugar barrel full
of letters from those writing to ex-
press a desire to marry him which
have collected during his vacation.
Since announcing that he intended
to use part of the 100000 to which
he recently fell heir to marrying a
quiet, domesticity loving wife, at
the end of two years, he has receiv-
ed just 2,173 epistles from the avow-
eddy lovelorn.
The burden of caring for these
messages fell upon Chief of Police
O'Neil. They Uttered up his desk
until he was finally deluged by re-
peated visits of the postman. He
then procured the sugar barrel,
which was about full when Marchant
returned from his vacation.
= Marchant and his fellow police
men all split their sides today as
they read the letters in the back
room at odd moments. They made
so much noise that the chief had to
go back and quiet them.
"Chief, never believed there were
so many women in the world who
would go crazy after a man." said
Marchant.
Marchant says he will remain a
member of the westfield police for
two years at least. Mrs. Julia Hard
ing of Nome, Alaska, writes of her
desire to share his joys and sorrows
as follows:
81 am confident that | am just the
young woman you want for a part
ner for life. I am not silly nor am
I a suffragette. l am fond of darn
ing socks and doing all kinds of
homework. So, hope to hear from
you soon"
She says she is healthy widow,
willing to take a chance.
Marchant has only made a begin
ming on his pile Of letters, which is
still growing. Three of the letters
came from women in England, who
were willing to emigrate to the New
World for a chance to marry a po-
liceman with 100000.

GEORGIA SENATORS AT HOME
Senator Smith Is Wanted by Leaders
i'm the West to Speak for DEM
ocratic Presidential Ticket.

ATLANTA. Senator Hoke Smith,
who has returned to the city follow
ing the adjournment of congress, re-
ceived on Wednesday telegram
from Senator James A. Reed or Mis-
souri, urging the Georgia senator to
come to Chicago and assist in the
Wilson campaign in the West.
Senator Smith has not made def
mite answer to the wire as yet. His
personal business will require his
time for the next few days and at
least until part of his business is
attended to he will not be able to
leave Atlanta.
1t appears probable, however, that
he will go to Chicago at later date
to take an active part in the western
campaign.
MY action will depend largely,

state of Mrs. Smiths health. l do
not wish to go to Chicago without
her, and unless | am satisfied that

THE COST OF CARELESSNESS
TOTAL FIRE LOSS in THIS COUN'
TRY IN 1911 WAS $24 49,, $50.
Losses in 297 Cities Were $3.50 Per
Capita of Population, Exclusive
OF Fatalities to Life.

The people of the United States
are the most careless of the civilized
world in regard to fire. Last year
their losses from this source were
larger in proportion to population
than those of any other country from
which statistics are obtainable. The
total fire loss in this country for
1911 was s2S4,337,250. 1t has
shown a marked increase every year
for the past thirty-five, and for the
five years of 1907-1912 reached the
staggering sum of $1,250,000,000.
Last year the loss in 297 cities was
$2.39 per capita of population. This
does not include the loss of life.
That much of this loss could have
been prevented is shown by the fact
that the per capita loss in England
was only A cents and in prudent
Germany 10 cents. Add to the fire
loss $24O, 600 paid annually for
fire rotection-which includes the
sum paid for insurance premiums in
excess of the amount paid for losses,
the cost of waterworks, fire depart
ments and private expenditures for
protection-and we have total fire
expense of $3.50 per capita, or
liberal slice of the national wealth.
About 80 per cent of all fires are
the result of caFelessness. Thus the
Indifferent or thoughtless add this
enormous sum to our great national
waste and incidentally to the cost of
living. Many take the position that
the feeling of safety caused by insur-
ance leads to carelessness. Some
property owners carry this belief so
far that where they occupy their OWL
premises with no fire exposures from
nearby property they make the mis-
take of preferring to carry no insur-
ance in order to make both them
selves and employees more careful.
The insurance companies endeavor
to promote carefulness by insisting
that the insured carry one-fourth the
risk, but the record made by the
fires of the past twelve months shows
that this remedy is only partially
successful

AN UNIQUE SITUATION IN LEE
Colonel Martin Was Elected Judge
of City Court of Leesburg and
Colonel Billiard Files Protest.

LEESBURG, Ga.-An unusual sit
nation confronts the democratic eX-
ecutive committee of Lee county,
growing out of the result of the
primary of the 21st inst, for the Of
flee of Judge of the city court OF
Leesburg.
Early in the year Judge H. l..
Long, the incumbent, announced
that he would not be candidate to
succeed himself, and at the primary
of May 1st Col. G. H. Beazley was
nominated.
On May 81 Col. Beazley received
burns caused by G lamp exploding,
from which he died June 1st. This
left the office without a candidate
until a few weeks ago, when Judge
Long. at the urgent request of his
friends, announced for reelection
as there seemed to be no other as
pirant for the place. A few days
later. however, Col. w. P. Bullard
announced and Judge Long with
drew from the race. This left the
field clear to Mr.. Billiard, but when
the primary of the 21st closed and
the ballots were counted it was
found that the friends of Col. W. G.
Martin had voted for and elected
him over Mr.. Billiard by majority
of SO votes. Col. Billiard served the
executive committee with notice OF
contest on the grounds that Col. Mar
tin was not an announced candidate
and had not paid the entrance fee
as required.
The outcome will be looked for
ward TO with much interest.

With her were three detectives.
Il love you," exclaimed Moore as
he leaped from the train and saw

That's funny" said the woman,
and removed her veil. Moore, gasp

having taken $4,000 from her when
he recently deserted her.
