SMITH REFORMS
IN COTTON WIN
EASY VICTORY
New York Exchange Frightened
Into Voluntarily Adopting
Threatened Changes.

NEW YORK, Oct. frightened
by the recent Congressional agitation
against trading in cotton futures, the
New York Cotton Exchange has
bowed to the inevitable and now plans
to make voluntary reforms which will
have practically the same effect as
the bill which Senator Hoke Smith,
of Georgia, and Representative Oscar
Underwood, of Alabama, came near
making law.
Congress, at the last moment before
passing the tariff bill, dropped the
amendment regulating the cotton ex-
changes, but 1t was evident such a
measure would pass almost without
opposition at the next session. Now
the New York Exchange will do its
own housekeeping, hoping, of course,
that such action will prevent any fur
Their lawmaking.
Leopold Bache, of ]. S. Bache & Co,
one of the board of governors, states
frankly that the exchange hopes to
disarm al criticism by reforming the
methods of handling business, the
grades recognized by New York con-
tracts, and the method of settling
grade differentials.
He says the exchange can not adopt
the Government grades, because they
are based on Gulf cotton, and make
no recognition of the upland types
grown in Georgia and other South
eastern States. He believes, how
ever, that grades can be adopted
which will please all concerned.
Seven members of the exchange
have been appointed a committee to
go into the entire question and re-
port not later than October 20, to a
special meeting of the board of gov
ernors.
Years of protest from all the cotton
growing States, the English and New,
England spinners and all consumers
of actual cotton against the unfair
New York contract awaited nothing.
Then Senator Clarke, of Arkansas,
introduced a bill in Congress which
would have wiped out all the cotton
exchanges. This was defeated when
Senator Hoke Smith presented his
substitute, which would have hit only
at the New York exchange. With
some changes made by Oscar Under
wood, this amendment is acceptable
to Congress and to all the cotton
trade except New York
Before all this pressure the ex-
change had to give way.

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR CRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Nobody
Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its
natural color dates back to grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy
and abundant. Whenever her hair
fell out or took on that dull, faded
or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with Won
derful effect
But brewing at home is mussy
and out of-date. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for a so
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will
get this famous old recipe, which
can be depended upon to restore
natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff,
dry, feverish, itchy scalp and fall
ing hair
A well-knoWn downtown drug
gist says it darkens the hair so
naturally and evenly that nobody
can tell it has been applied. You
simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with il and draw this
through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears. and after an
other application or two it becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
abundant.

More Workers Than Ever Will
Give Days Earnings Saturday,
Home Trustees Say.

Saturday. October II, will be the
annual Work Day for the Orphans"
The board of trustees of the Decatur
Orphans Home has issued, through
its secretary. w. E. McCaIla, a plea
to every man in Georgia to give the
value of one days work to that insti-
tuition.
Sunday. October IL. will be "Or-
phans' Rally Day in a number of
Atlanta churches, and in many
churches in other parts Of Georgia.
Sermons will be preached on the or
phans, to drive home to the people
generally the needs of the various In
situations and of the Decatur home
in particular.
The board of trustees of the Deca-
tur institution hopes to raise $4,000
by this means next Saturday The
plan Of asking one day's work each
year has proven a greater success
each year since 1t was started in 1901
$500 the first year to $4,000 in 1912,
and with the greater enthusiasm that
the workers are manifesting this year
it is thought the $4,000 will be easily
raised.
The Decatur home now has on its
rolls about 100 children, which at
times increases to 100 or 200. Since
its establishment it has cared for
$500 children, educating them and
sending them out into the word
equipped to make living
Some of these children have
achieved success and occupy high
places of trust and Importance. The
monthly expense of the institution
ranges from $1,000 to $4,000, which
includes food, clothing, education,
salaries for matrons and teachers, etc.
The home was established AZ years
ago by DR.. Jesse Boring, and for many
years was located at Norcross, where
nineteen orphans were cared for IN
1871.
In 1873 the home was burned and
the institution was re-established at
Decatur, where its fifteen buildings
now stand on a farm of 225 acres. A
good school and kindergarten are
maintained, and the children are CIV
en- as good an education as they could
get at the public schools.

It is understood that the English del
egatiOn will make several important
proposals to the congress, among the
most radical being q suggestion that
women be included among the Compel
itors. Other matters to be brought be-
fore the congress will be the question of
the restriction of entries; a minimum
age for competitors. and whether dis
tinction should be made between
sports, indispensable for the Olympiad
and those which, though not indispen-
sable, can be admitted.
1t is believed that the delegates will
be a unit in demanding that the nation
where the games are being held shall
not be given an unfair advantage by
giving undue prominence to the games
in which that country excels. The
technical regulations and the duties of
the jury in the games will be defined
by the congress with more rightly than
under the present rules.

Snow had been falling all the after

she was sure.
She made no mistake.
When Mr.. BOwser came up to din

Mr.. Bowser talked very confidently,
but he had never seen a snipe, alive
or dead. He had read of them, and
Green had added enough to make him
enthusiastic. Mrs. Bowser wanted to
know lots of other things about the
birds. but he choked her off in time
to save his prestige. He got to bed
early, SO as to get an early start, but
his dreams were snipe-haunted. AT

With that he was OF with the gun
on his shoulder and three small boys
and dog trailing behind. At the cor
ner his retinue left him, however, and
he took an electric car for the coun-
try. He wanted to get a line on snipe
as soon as possible, and SO he asked
information of the conductor. The
conductor wanted to be agreeable, and
aid in building up the suburban line,
and so he replied that the snfpe were
SO thick just beyond the terminus
that farmers were killing them with
clubs.
Mr. Bowser caught his breath and
felt sorry for Green, and chuckled
aloud as he pictured Mrs. Bowser's
chagrin when he arrived home with a
wagon-load Of birds. He set OF
bravely and at last struck q marsh.
He looked warily around him for
snipe, but realized after a minute that
bird of brains would be hidden
away where the reeds were thickest
and highest. There was water in the
marsh. There were also old roots and
logs to ensnare, and as the hunter
plowed his way along he got fall
every ten feet. He had busted his
suspenders. filled his shoes with water
and torn half the brim on his hat
before he got through the marsh, and
