Markets Technical Position.

In his summary of the position of the
Stock Market Thomas Gibson views the
situation as follows:
The technical situation remains in
statu quo. The daily action OF traders and
professionals amounts to nothing, as
stocks sold one day are purchased the
next At least % per cent of the daily
transactions are of scalping character
The underlying technical situation Ia
strong. There is a considerable locked
in short interest of long standing which
would not retire except on a decided ad-
vance or decline. The floating supply OF
good stocks is small, and there are very
few weak marginal accounts

Securities in Holland.

Not many years ago. according to THE
Toronto Globe" Dutch securities on the
Amsterdam Stock Exchange were an ex-
O.ption. In the sos Holland was looked
mon as the banker of the world. and all
kinds Of European bonds, such as Span
,sh. Portuguese. Russian, Turkish, Aus
triap. etc. constituted the important Sc
euntles dealt in. Now however, the sit
nation is entirely different. In recent
years Dutch investors have become inter
ested i'm financing operations in practically
every quarter Of the globe, including the
municipal issues and home industries Of
Holland. United States and Canada Sc
curities are handled on a considerable
scale. During 1912 it is estimated that
$4,000 worth Of Dominion Steel Cor
poration shares were placed in Holland,
and there Is a tendency 10 accept high
class American securities with favor

HEAVY increase
IN BUSINESS OF
AMERICUS OFFICE
MORE FACILITIES NEEDED
In Department Of Parcel
Post Here

That Americus business houses anil
the general public here appreciate
thoroughly the advantages of the par
GELS post is attested in the very large
increase in business in that depart
ment of the mail service. Large even
in the beginning, the parcel post pat
ronage in Americus is assuming enor-
nous proportions, far beyond the ex-
pectations of the local postoffice forces
In fact, it has gone almost beyond
the point of carrier delivery under the
old system, where bicycles were en-
ployed, and the point is now reached
where wagons or trucks must be had
t. facilitate the delivery of the daily
mail in Americus and vicinity.
Only day or two ago one local
wholesale house sent to the postoffice a
dry load of packages to be transmitted
by parcel post. Three or four car
riers could not have delivered at one
time the mail shipments of that one
house, and yet frequent size-a dray
load-are sent out by this house and
others in Americus.
The result is that Postmaster Davea-
port will find it necessary TO provide
more adequate equipment for parcels
delivery in Americas. A motor car
would better facilitate the work, and
il is quite probable that one, if not
two, motor mail delivery wagons will
be ordered for the Americus mail ser
vice at once.
At present the parcels post depart
ment is overcrowded with packages ev-
cry day-much more, oftentimes than
the local letter carriers can possibly
handle in a day, and the consequence
is that mail packages are held over
from one day to the next because Of
the insufficiency of the delivery SER
vice. And the trouble grows greater
daily.
Postmaster Davenport hopes to have
a more adequate delivery service in
stalled before the beginning Of the
holiday season.

SPEER BETTER;

EARLY RECOVERY
NEVER so i'll AS REPORTED
Interest hinges. on lnVesii-
cation Saturday

Macon, Ca, Oct. 28.-Reports from
Mt Airy today are to the effect that
Judge Emory Speer has undoubtedly
passed the crisis of his illness. His con-
dition continues to improve, and his ar
tending physician, Dr. Stephen Har-
ris, states that there is no doubt as to
the judges recovery. 1t is believed,
however, that he will be-many weeks
in recuperating his strength.
Of course, interest now centers on
whether the subcommittee of the
house judiciary committee will delay
it's investigation on account of Judge
Speer's physical condition, or will pro-
ceed with the probe anyhow A def
mite statement as to the program of
committee is expected at any time, rs
the investigation is scheduled to be-
gin in Washington Saturday. Before
he was seized with illness, it was
Judge Speer's determination to at
tend every session of the committee
and look after his own interests
The committee is not required by
law to proceed with its investigation
in the presence of the official under
fire, but it is a courtesy that is gen-
orally expected.

Sought Safety on Vessel.

Vera Cruz, Oct. 28.-General Felix
Diaz applied to the Unitad States
consulate during the night for protec-
ton and was taken on hoard the
United States gunboat Wheeling. Jose
Sandoval and Cecelio Ocon, two Mexi-
cans, and Alexander Williams, Unit
ed States newspaper correspondent
who had made similar application to
the consulate, also were taken aboard
the gunboat with General Diaz. -;
The two Mexicans who sought ref
uge with General Felix Diaz on
board the United States gunbost
Wheeling last night, have played
prominent parts in Mexican politics
Cecil Ocon was charged OH May "a
1918, in the Mexican chamber of dep
uties by Querido Mohena, now minis
ter of foreign affairs, with being
the actual murderer of Gustavo Ma
dero. This denunciation was made in
connection with a demand for an ap-
preparation of $150,OOO to be paid to
Ocon for Services rendered to the
government"
Jose Bonaies Sandoval, the other
fugitive, was an attorney in Mexico
City, and an adherent to the late
General Bernardo Reyes, at one time
secretary of war, who was shot while
leading the rebels toward the na-
tional palace, during the attack bs
General Felix Diaz in February, this
year.

MISTRIAL LIKELY
With The JURY
EVENLY DIVIDED
in THE CASE OF MRS. king
On Trial For Murder OF Hus-
band

Macon Ca, Oct. 28.-Mrs. Katherine
King will not be convicted of the mur-
der of her husband, James King, by the
jury now wrestling with her case. Re-
ports from Grays, where the case was
tried today, were to the effect that the
jury was hopelessly divided on the
question of her guilt, and that mis-
trial would probably result.
When the jury filed out at 1890
o'clock, following an able charge
from Judge Park, there were predic-
ton that a verdict would be return
ed in a half an hour But 1 O'Clock
came and the jury was still divided
Then the jurymen went TO dinner, and
did not resume their deliberations ur-
til 2 o'clock. Attorney w. d. Mcneil
one of the most celebrated lawyers Of
Macon, made the effort of his life in
Mrs. Kings behalf.
Mrs. King wept profusely during his
address, and so did her brother, W.
Sid Simmons. Mr.. Mcneil spoke to
the jury for more than an hour and
took up each feature of the case in de-
tail. He himself was plainly affected
by the case, and for that reason his
sincerity of .utterance made his elo-
all the more telling.
Solicitor Pottle did not urge the
death penalty for Mrs. King. He
argued that there was no doubt as to
her guilt but that he would leave
that with the jury to determine her
punishment. Mrs. King is prostrated
by the trial and lies on her bed in the
cell in the Jones county Jail nervously
awaiting the verdict.

GRAND MASTER R. |. COLDING
Pfesides at Opening of The
Session

Macon, Ga. Oct. 28.-The annual ad-
dress of Grand Master Robert L. Cold
ing was the feature of the annual con-
vention of the Grand Lodge Of Masons
of Georgia, which assembled this mora
ing in the city auditorium with fully
fifteen hundred delegates present. The
grand master showed the grand lodge
to be in excellent condition, and a won-
-derful increase in membership during
the year. Reports of other officers
were also made during the morning
session.
When the grand master announced
the appointment of the committees the
grand lodge adjourned until o'clock
tonight, when another business ses-
sion was held.
One of the principal matters to
come before the grand lodge at this
session will be the question of remov-
ing the headquarters of the Masons
of Georgia to some other section 81
the state. From the sentiment ex-
pressed by the delegates here today
there is little chance of the grand lodge
changing the headquarters to any otl-
er city.
The question of headquarters will
come up tomorrow morning. 1t is
also probable that officers for the en-
suing year will be elected tomorrow
morning. Hon. Robert L. Colding, OF
Savannah, has no opposition for re-
lection, and it is probable that he will
be chosen by reclamation.

THRIFTY GIRLS
enter EXHIBITS
AT STATE FAIR
CANNING CLUBS IN CONTEST
State Should Be Proud Of
Such Women

Macon, Ca, Oct 2S.--The girls-tha
practical, useful girls of Georgia had
their inning at the state fair today AMI
made splendid exhibits or their art m
canning fruits and vegetables. Over
200 pround young Georgia girls, some
of them not more than ten years tf
age, were among the exhibitors and
proud of their work. There were M
split skirts among them, while bridge
was not discussed one time
Miss Mary E. Creswell OF the Stata
College Of Agriculture, who has su-
pervised the formation of the canning
clubs throughout the state, was kept
busy during the morning, greeting her
proteges.
On account of the late arrival OF
some of the girls, it was impractica-
bic during the morning to give can
ming demonstration, this being post
poned until afternoon. It was shown
in this demonstration just how prof.
cient the girls are in canning vege-
tables and preserving fruits and maxi
ing jellies.
| The displays OF the canning cIuns
lhas brought out the fact that Miss
Eron Dooly, of Appling county, leads
all the girls of the state in produc-
tion of tomatoes and in profits from
canning. On her tenth of an acre Miss
Dooly raised 4,245 pounds of toma-
toes and the total value of hur
canned tomatoes was $141.50. Her net
profit was $91.50.
Miss Leila e. Dixon. of Fayetse
county, also made a splendid record.

canned goods from sixteen girls wh3
made an average of $2722 on their
tenth-acre gardens and put up an
average of 1893 cans. The total value
Of the display made by So Bibb coun
misses is s766. This display nets an
average profit of $16.23.
Tomorrow will open Corn Club

clubs from all sections of Georgia are
expected to be present 1t is believed
that fully 500 boys will register.
There are nearly 1000 exhibits by tha
boys at the fair, each exhibit consist
