NICHOLS REFUSES TO SERVE
on ASYLUM BR0ARD REGENTS.

Spartanburg, Sept. 14.-Because OF
the fact that he is unable to spare
the necessary time from his personal
law practice and business in the city
of Spartanburg, Samuel ]. Nichols
this morning refused to accept the
appointment as member Of the board
of regents for the State Hospital for
the Insane, made yesterday by Gov
ernor Blease, vice ]. Wright Nash, re-
signed.
Mr.. Nichols stated that he appre-
ciated the honor bestowed upon him
by the governor of the State and re-
gretted his inability to serve as a
member of the board, but felt that it
would require too much Of his time
in Columbia and on the grounds of
the hospital and hence it would not
be possible for him to accept.
The State insane hospital is con-
Quoted by a board Of regents, five In
number, and this board has complete
control over all of the affairs of the
institution, expending large sums of
money annually.

MOVEMENT OF
GEORGIA PEACHES

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 13.-rhe move
ment of peaches from the Georgia ter
ritory over the Southern railway for
1912 consisted of 1894 cars, as COM
pared with 1920 cars in 1910 and 826
In 1911, according to figures given out
today. OF this number 1898 cars origi-
mated at points within the state OF
Georgia in 1912, 4.400 in 1910, and 745'
in 1911, the remainder coming from
points In adjacent states and being
sent to market with the Georgia pro-
duet. The total movement Of peaches
over all lines for 1912 Is given as 7,l39
cars. 49,,
OF the 1898 cars handled from
Georgia points, it is interesting to
note that 1865 cars went TO Eastern
markets, being handled in solid train
loads from Atlanta to Washington, 319
cars to Western markets, and cars
to Southeastern points. OF the 341 cars
handled from points outside Georgia,
60 cars from the section about Haley
Vile, Ala, went West and the re-
mainder, originating at points in the
Carolinas went East. These figures

ket for peaches from the Georgia ter
ritory, and the fast service afforded by
the Southern Railway by which the
peaches are hurried to the Eastern
and Western markets on passenger
train schedules has beer vital fac
tor in the development Of this great
industry.
The great improvements made by
the Southern railway in it's roadway
and equipment in recent years con-
tributed largely to the satisfactory
handling of this large amount of a
highly perishable product, thus prov
ing of direct benefit to the peach
growers. Owing to the unprecedented
weather conditions that prevailed dur
ing the past winter, the work on
double track between Atlanta and
Gainesville could not be completed in
time for the use Of more than half Of
the second track, but it will all be
in service for next years movement,
thus putting even greater facilities
for the prompt movement of the crop
at the service Of the Georgia peach
growers.

ton was held in the Office Of DR.. c. c.
Gambrell, the president, Monday af-
ternoon at o'clock. Many matters
pertaining. to the success Of the Fair

WEEKLY COTTON REPORT
(By Miller & Cotter, MemphisJ

(By Miller & Cotter, MemphisJ
without exception deterioration
took place in all cotton states during
the past week. Very rapid opening
during the period is striking feature.
In many instances bolls only partly
matured have been freed open by thet
extreme heat coupled with. lack OF
moisture. This is at the expense OF
the lint yield. 1t appears that east OF
the Mississippi river picking will soon
become very general which is in con-
trast with expectation two and three
weeks ago, when it seemed that the
crop was quite late and bolls were
opening slowly. In many places the
young fruit has shielded so badly that
rain now would be of small benefit as
1t is too late in the season to make a
new growth and produce new fruit.
The only benefit would arise from a
fuller development Of the unopened
bolls remaining on the stalk.
In states west Of the river the loss
from shedding and premature open
ing has not yet reached such proper
tions as east, and although the week
was very unfavorable in Arkansas
and Oklahoma. Without rain within

q week, however, the western, states
will show a very considerable loss IN
condition and crop promise. A..
.The heat was moderated in the At
lantic states and showers gave some
relief to- the dry fields, but 1t was Only
partial relief as rains did not exteno
far inland. Lower temperatures III
other sections at the weekend also
relieved the strain, but without ram
low temperatures will not stop deter'
ioration and even with rain damage
has been sustained which cannot De
recovered.
In Texas an unprecedented amount
of" cotton is opened and in most DIS
tricts dry weather is desired to facll-
tate picking. Farmers are marketing
freely.

BRADSTREET'S GIVES AN
..' OPTIMISTIC REVIEW.

New York. Sept. 13.-Bradstree-'s
tomorrow will say:
Trade has los: none OF its wDnled
vim, and activity aDounds, though It
IS modified in degree in some parts
Of the Southwest. where excessive
heat has prevailed. while being ac-
centuated throughout the West and
Northwest Everywhere buying Is
predicated on the uniformly good in
fluences that record or close to record
crops will generate, and flnanciers,
merchants and captains of industry
are, without notable exception, ex-
ceedingsly optimistic.
House trade, especially in dry
goods and kindred lines, has been
especially good, while road sales are
Of larger proportions. One of the
best evidences of expected demand is
furnished by the urgent calls of in
terror merchants for prompt ship
mentS.

&ommittee to inquire into the demo-
Sratic primary, has replied to the pub
kc statement of the Blease members

heeting Monday, the 18th, and criti-
&ized the method Of procedure.
Il Mr.. Stevenson in his letter c1tes
he reasons for his action, pointing
Tut that the two subcommittee can

bays that the next meeting OF the

In his letter, Mr. Stevenson replies
ID detail to the point raised by

$bllows:
u. That 1 was unable to be at the

for which l need not discuss here

"3. l decline to meet with you

W wing reasons:
