Senator Luke Lea, who has been
making some speeches in the State,
is in demand in many parts of the
country. Senator Lea's ability as
speaker is recognized throughout
the country, and his activity in
bringing about the nomination of
Woodrow Wilson at Baltimore has
made him a central figure in lead
ing Democratic circles.

robbed of about 81 800 worth of

to the sitting room of the depot in

of Holland Bros. was broken into

In his speech here last week
Judge Joseph E. Jones stated very
emphatically that he did not en-

ing his principles. A well-known
Democrat, when he heard this
statement, said, Judge Jones is
really just beginning to fight on
the Lords side"

A Tower of Skulls.

In 1909 the Turks defeated the
Servians at Nish, and in memory of
the victory built a tower of stone
and Servian skulls. AT one time Wis
itors and tourists used to carry away
skulls as souvenirs, and not so many
years ago the heads were still to be
seen embedded in the walls. When
Nish became Servian, however, as
many skulls as could be extricated
were given Christian burial. A few
still remained, too firmly held by the
plaster, and of these two, in a glass
case. are shown at the memormial
church close by.-June World Wide

summary: With the elimination of sell
ing pressure by liquidating longs, the cot
ton market has turned it's attention Ia
the adjustment of PARTIES in which I'M
dertakng the relative strength of early
receipts is playing a leading part. With
the ending of August and with the be-
ginning of full movement little later
talent and trade will have to consider the
prospective yield in its relation to re-
spective requirement as a concrete price
factor, and to that end will dig deep under
the surface of things cropwise and trade
wise Meanwhile, technical conditions
growing OUT of the speculative Incur
and speculation resulting from the late
ness of the movement, and the magnitude
of the August requirement win figure tC
q greater extent in price making.
There are some students OF the market
who believe they see unmistakable signs
Of a period of less active trade, particu.
larly in Europe. In this connection, how.
ever, some OF the largest cotton houses
report they can discover nothing tina

Young Atlanta MournS.

" The Greatest Show on Earth" was
destroyed by fire this afternoon. Flames
consumed the entire aggregation before
five Of the best companies in the South

save any part.
With the &c. s. 0. E" went a
menagerie collection of elephants.
lions, tigers. CRATES and, it is said, a
real Bull Moose" The advance ad-
Nertisements alone can tell the number
and variety of wonders included in its
collection.
All this happened when some one
tossed a lighted cigarette out of a back
window of the Third National Bank
building. Fluttering from the side of
the adjoining building, now occupied
by the Broadway hotel was an enor-
nous cloth sign. that hung there before
the skyscraper interfered with it's pub
lie position.
In a moment the beauteous scenes OF
jungle life, the hamboyant boxcar let
ters of alliterative description ignited
and the passing breeze whipped it into
a blaze.
To the throng at Broad and Marietta
streets it looked as if blazing torch
was hanging from ,ne hotel window
Some one turned in an alarm, and, as
is customary on a centrally located
fire. five companies raced madly to the
scene. When they got there the sign
had burned Itself out, leaving scarce a
trace on the side of the brick building,
and the f1remen went back. No more

recalled to the office boy who gages

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 15.-Weather de-
Velopments over night were more favor
able The conditions for rains diminished
and prospects are for generally fair
western Texas, northwest Alabama and
northern Arkansas, where unsettled
weather is likely. The map shows no rain
of consequence over night and only light
showers in the central states.
Liverpool futures conformed to the adj
vance in New York, but spot prices are
only points higher sales low, small. Ca.
bles say market is governed by New Yorl
operations
Early New York wires here this morn
ing predicted further professional support
There was in consequence a scarcity OF
sellers and the market advanced in the
early trading on little buying to llSl
for October.
However, when the government forecast
promised fair. weather east of the MiSsis-
sippi river the market lost points. There
was also a rumOr that returns to the Ma
tional Ginners for the half month ihdi-
Gated condition of 77.5 against 7I6 on
July %.
New York wired during the day that
spot interests were against the market
and that the mill demand had stopped on
the advance.
our market continued to fuchlate
sharply and showed nervous unrest. II
seems for the moment that there is still
a little too much short interest 10 the
size of the new crop movement arM the
chance for a temporary professional dash
on this short interest is being satisfied
The strong support in New York by GER
tain operators is explained on the ground
of such an intention. If the weather
continues good the new crop movement
outside of Texas will son put a stop &c
all manipulation and bring the markets
down to spot facts
