COTTON MARKET WEAKENS;;
LOSES TWENTY POINTS
Weak Cables and Favorable
Weather Reports Combine to
Force Prices Downward.

Influenced by weak cables
from Liverpool and reports of
favorable weather throughout
the belt, the cotton market weak
ened Tuesday, and both spots
and futures, anet loss Of about
twenty points having been en-
counted during the day.
New York spots dropped from
1870 TO 1850, the loss on Janu-
airy futures was almost as great,
quotations for thatmonth having
dropped from 13 cents to 1878.
The local market naturally
felt the decline. Last week the
Columbus buyers were paying
from IL IA to 13 1-2 for middling
but on Tuesday it took mighty
good cotton to bring as high as
l3 cents.

HENRY CLAYTON HITHORlHS
FROM THt SENATORIAL RACE
Fisht is Nov Between Repre-
sentative Underwood md Capl.
Richard r lIobson.

Congressman Henry u Cll,-
ION y ALBANIA. who vas appoint
ed bl Gov. 0'Nell 10 serve out
the unexpired term Of Sen
ator JOSEPH + Johnston, and who
had announced as a candidate
for the full term beginning
March 4, 1915. has withdrawn
from the race. leaving the field
to Representative Oscar w. IN
derwood and Capt. Richmond
Pearson Hobson.
There was some doubt about
the right of Gov. 0'Neal to fill
by appointment the vacancy oc-
casicned by Senator Johnson's
death, and Mr.. Clayton has never
been seated. While waiting for
the senate to act in the matter,
he received a letter from Presi-
dent Wilson expressing the hope
that he would not relInquish his
seat in the house. Mr.. Clayton
is chairman Of the judiciary com
mittee. and on account of impor-
tant pending legislation. Presi-
dent Wilson is exceedingly anx-
ious to have him remain in that
position.
When Mr.. Clayton first made
public his intention to seek the
toga of the late Senator Johnson,
several gentlemen announced
themselves as candidates for his
seat in congress. Byrd G. Far
mer, one of the aspirants, has
already withdrawn, from the
race and it is believedthat Henry
Stegall and j. A. Carney. the
other two. will follow suit, thus
insuring the reelection Of Mr..
Clayton without opposition.

migrants in Crescent City,
Beneiitting this Section.

Three great navigation cotm-
panies have recently established
direct steamship lines between
New Orleans and foreign ports,
thus bringing straightto theCres.
cent City migrants from Eng.
land. Germany. France and
other European countries. and
Mississippi, as well as other
Southern states, will be afforded
a splendid appoi tuni y to secure
the foreigners. thus settling their
plantations with Intelligent white
farmers, and making their agri-
cultural lands more valuable.
In order to make the movement
effective, cooperation upon the
part of the states affected will be
necessary, and an organization
known as the Mississippi Valley
immigration Association has been
formed, and this association will
hold its initial meeting in New
Orleans on Saturday. October Is.
The Business League is in re-
ceipt of a letter requesting Co
lumbus to send delegates to the
meeting, and the request should
by all means be compliedwith. No
section of the United States of
fers more attractive advantages
to immigrants than that immedi-
ately contiguous to Columbus.
The soil is alluvial, and as most
of tie immigrants expected will
come from rural districts. where
they have naturally had expe-
rience as farmers, they can take
up much of the land in this sec.
ton, and cultivate II more
Thoroughly and more scientifically
than it is now being cultivated.
Columbus and Lowndes county
should be represented at the
New Orleans meeting, and it is
to be sincerely hoped that both
the Business League and the
Board of Supervisors will appoint
strong delegations to attend the
convention.

Mr. J. NJ. Morgan, owner of
the building at the corner of
Market and College streets which
for many years has been occupied
by Messrs. Simon Loeb & Bro. as
a department, store and which
wasdestroyed by fire last Sunday
morning. announces that he will
probably rebuild at an earlydate.
Mr.. Morgan has not yet had suf-
ticlent time to settle upon any
definite plans,b bu tthe new struct-
urewill probablybe as imposing as
he one recently destroyed, which
was one of the handsomest build
ings the city devoted to CONNER
cial purposes.
Messrs. Simon Loeb & Brother
have established temporary head
quarters in the Stone Hotel build
ing, and will, it is understood.
soon reopen for business in the
building on Nam street formerly
occupied by Wright's Ten Cent
Store. Buyers for the firm had
but recently visited New York,
and many goods bought during
their visit have not reached the
city, and were therefore not de-
stroyed by the fire. These goods
will be used as a nueleous in
stocking the building which is
TO be used Temporarily used. and
additional stock has been ordered
by telegraph from Atladta, Biz
mingham and other nearby dry
goods markets. and is expected
to arrive within the next feu
days.
The fire Sunday morning was
one OF the most disastrous which
has visited Columbus in many
years. There was some delay in
turning in the alarm, and when
the firemen reached the scene the
1 flames had made such great prog
ress that il was impossible to get
them under control. II soon be-
came apparent that the Loeb
building was doomed, and the
fremen turned their attention to
adjacent structures which were in

the east and the residence Of

caught fire, and Il was only eff

members of the department

Bur- Barry. a negro. WIS shot
and killed at his home near the
the Palmer Orpfanage at an early
hour last Sunday morning. and
A. NJ. Green, a white man EN-
ployed as section foreman on
the Mobile and Ohio railroad. is

of inquiring into the crime hav-
ing returned a verdict declaring
that Barry met his death as the
result of a gunshot.wound inflict-
ed by Green and other parties
unnamed.
The killing was investigated by
Policemen Foreman and Morton.
and, according to the story told
them by Barry's wife. four white
men called at the house early
Sunday morning. and asked to
see her husband. The negro re-
fused to open the front door,
and, after having parleyed with
the men few minutes evident
ly became frightened, and at
tempted to escape through a
rear door. The men heard him
as he started out, and ran around
to the back of the building, one
of them having shot him just as
he was about to step into the
gaEc
Barry's wife did not see agy
Of the men while they were atthe
house, and consequently could not
give their names to the police
men. The officers learned, how
ever, that Green had a difficulty
with the dead negro Saturday af-
ternoon, and later arrested him
at his home near the Standard
Stove Works.
When the officers called at
Green's home they found him in
bed, and he denied all knowledge
of the killing, declaring that he
had been asleep ever since eleven
O'Clock Saturday night. The ju-
ry of inquest, however, deemed
the evidence sufficiently strong
to warrant his being held for the
crime, and returned a verdict in
accordance with this conviction.
Green had a preliminary trial
before Justice Matthews and
Mayor Donnell Monday, and was
bound over in the sum of one
thosand dollars to await the ac-
ton of the grand jury. He was
represented by Messrs. Sturdi-
want, Owen & Garnett. The par
ties said to have been implicated
with Green in sthe killing have
not yet been arrested.
