MANY VETERANS OF THE
SIXTIES To At TEND CAMP
Forty Five Thousand Blue And Gray
to Gather at Gettysburg in July.

Representatives of 30 States at a
meeting last week of the general COM
mittee having charge of the arrange
ments for the celebration of the fiftieth
anniversary of the battle of Gettys-
burg, July |, 2, 3, and s. reported that
1925 veterans who wore the blue and
the gray in the Civil War would be on
the battle field for the celebration
Many other states are yet to be heard
from.
1t was estimated that 500 veterans
would go from Maryland. Gen. John r.
King, chairman of the Maryland COM
mission, attended the meeting of the
general committee. 1t was held at
Gettysburg. The details of the big five
day encampment were discussed.
1t was stated that complaints were
made against some of the railroad COM
panies for failure to allow what the
veterans consi erred a reasonable re-
duction in the ates to and from the
battlefield. Southern roads have an
nounced rate of cent mile, but the
northern and western roads are said to
have fixed upon rates that are much
higher.
General King said that the W. NJ.
Ry. Co. came in for sharp criticism,
because it had declined to allow any re-
duction in the fare to Gettysburg. 1t
was stated that the company had in
sisted upon the regular fare from Balti-
more, which is 3d. 60 for the round trip.
The question of identification was
settled. ANY veteran having certifi-
cate from the battlefield commission
ers of his state will be admitted to the
full privileges of the camp. The
Identification card adopted by the Mary
land Commission was commented upon
tavorably by commissioners from other
states, and it was stated that many of
them would use it.
The encampment will be spread over
an area of $50 acres and 3, 600 wall tents
will be erected, each having eight cots
nd two blankets for each veteran. The
..ents will be equipped with water
buckets, wash basins and lanterns
Meals will be served near the kitchens
at the ends Of the company streets.

A Big Reunion.

On July l, ?, and the battlefield of
Gettysburg will witness one of the most
interesting reunions of veterans of the
Civil War since the close of that me-
morable conflict. Peculiarly interesting
for the reason that the old soldiers of
the North and South to the extent of
some 10, coo will meet there to celebrate
together the half century anniversary
of those memorable days of 1863. A
descriptive story of the arrangements
made for the entertainment of the
veterans. entitled Civil War Veterans
to Meet on Gettysburg Battlefield, " is
printed on another page of this issue.
Every reader will find it of interest.

o, DEATH! WHERE is THY STING?

Think not that it is death to close the eyes
Upon the light of day, and fold the hands
Across the weary breast, more to rise
And do the duties which this life demands
Death has no sting for those who walk with God:
Who keep His laws and do His will each day:
Who follow on where His dear feet have trod
With His dear hand to lead them on the way.
O., cold, dark grave where is thy victory?
Your arms but hide us from lc's bitter strife;
MI that is mortal rests in peace with thee
But death, to those who walk with God is Life
And as today we devotion show
Unto the dead, and do our tributes bring;
Peace fills our hearts, have fear, we know
1t is Gods plan and death has lost it's sting.

u. S. LEADS IN THE. VALUE
OF EXPORTS TO GERMANY

The United States heads the list
of countries as to the value of the
exports to Germany in 1912. Russia
ranks second, Great Britain third, and
Austria Hungary fourth. The United
Kingdom still is the best customer
for German products, Austria Hun
gary coming next, the United States
third, France fourth, and Russia
fifth.
If the value of the total trade be-
tween the countries during 1912 is
considered. the United States is first
with $543, 500 900; Russia second, with
S525.4O0,O00; the United Kingdom
third, with $477,OO0,OOO; Austria Hun
gary fourth, with s443, 900, 900; and
France fifth, with 1926, 100000.
The decrease in the value of the re-
celpts from Russia was due prin-
cipally TO smaller grain shipments
from that country; and the greater
imports from the United States, to
increased shipments of wheat, copper
and raw cotton.

tablished earlier in the week. There
has been no general activity, how
ever in the market, which has been
more or less under the control of the
professional element.
The July position, strange TO say,
has shown relative weakness. Export
ers have had practically no orders,
and even if they had them would find
it a difficult matter to secure the
grades sought after by the trade on
the other side.
Except for reports as to damage
by boil weevil in Texas, Louisiana
and Mississippi, crop accounts con-
tinue of a satisfactory character. In
fact, the reports as to the progress
now being made by the crop could
hardly be more encouraging.
1t is believed by some that crop
prospects are now in the zenith, and
for this reason there Is an inclination
to buy the market on declines, the
argument being made that the critical
crop period is now at hand and that
any change in the condition Is certain
to be for the worse. The alarmist
element in the market Is trying to
make capital out of the high tenn
peratures reported in Texas within
the last few days. These tempera-
lures have not been abnormally high
for Texas yet, however, and conserv-
alive people in the market think that
hot dry weather is just what is need
ed to hold the boil weevil in check

Bulls Held in Check by
Fear of Tax on Futures
Weevil and Hot Weather in Texas Only Bad
Crop News To Be Heard.

NEW ORLEANS, July 12.-with
the sword of Damocles hanging over
the cotton market, it is hard to
arouse speculation in the staple, even
though a somewhat bullish environ
ment has developed recently. Since
the Government reports We're issued
July 3 Liverpool has shown distinct
ly bullish attitude, neither the con-
dition figures nor the acreage being
considered of a bearish character by
European cotton trade
Taking advantage Of the pessimistic
feeling created by the proposition to
tax futures out of existence, bearish
interests, here and in New York, sold
the market rather aggressively in the
early part of the week, depressing
contract prices to the level of 11.40
for October delivery. The strength
manifested by Liverpool, where a
good spot demand has been in evil
dence, sales totalling 10000 bales al
most every day, checked the declin-
ing tendency, and started shorts to
covering.
Anticipation of possible damage to
the crop from the high temperatures
now prevailing in Texas, together
with numerous reports of the boil
weevil ravaging the crop in the west
ern and central belt, induced some
fresh buying. With bulls bidding for
cotton and shorts inclined to cover,
the market has had substantial re-
action upward from the low level es-

Economist Explains
Shortage of Money
World Produces $1,000, ooo,ooo Of
Capital Yeariy-sometimes Burns
Up or Demands More.

Lately it has been said frequently
that demand for capital is in excess
of supply" Just what this means
was explained by NJ. Leroy Beaulieu,
the eminent French economist, who
wrote:
The growing industrial States,
particularly the new countries, are
at this moment demanding more
capital than the whole world has &C
cumulated recently or is accumulat-
two consequences; First, that the
users of this capital have to pay
more for it in the shape of a higher
interest rate; second, that they will
be compelled to postpone, or extend
for several years. many of the enter
prises on which they had decided and
for which they had already made
preparations
THE civilized world, so far as it
can be reCkOned up, provides 81 400, E.
100000 in available capital annually
for investment in securities; it is
asked in 1906 to provide S3.250, 900, 600.
There was a demand. in America at
any rate, for even more than its part
of the above estimate to be provided
during 1907. But the world has not
got It; therefore 1t can not provide it.
Add to this the effect of catastro-
Plies, such as the San Francisco and
Valparaiso earthquakes. which cost
something like S200000,00O, and you
will have a perfectly clear explana-
ton of the existing crisis, the rise IN
the interest rate and the fall of in
Vestment securities. The truth is,
nations, quite as we'll as individuals,
have reached the point where they
must limit their undertakings to the
possibilities of the case: that will be
done, if not willingly, then by force
of events"
In 1906 the borrowing nations and
individuals did not thus limit volun
tarily their undertakings, and their
bankers did not compel them to do so.
In 1907, the force of events" oper-
ated. This season. the restrictive
process has been applied early and
decidedly.

Texas Bankers Are
To Aid the Farmers
Arrangements Made to Advance
Money on the Cotton Crops
Without Mortgage.
FnRT MORTH. TEN.. JuIy 12.-Pete

FORT WORTH, TEX, July 12.-Peter
Radford, president of Texas Farmers
Union, in public statement says:
In Texas cotton is the money crop
telligently has absorbed the attention
of the leaders of economic thought
for a half century. The crop is Oft
times mortgaged. and debt is such a
hard taskmaster that the farmer in
order to escape it. rushes to the mar
ket with his products and down goes
the price.
ITO relieve the pressure the bankers
are advancing the farmers $35 a bale at
per cent, payable when the cotton is
sold. The title to the cotton rests with
the farmer and he can sell when he
pIeases. and there is no longer occasion
for disposing of his crop in a weak or
glutted market,
I'm my estimation the slow market
ing of cotton will increase the farm
nrice at least from 212 to per cent net
aver the price obtained under present
methods, making minimum net saving
to the farmer of S5OON,OOO. 1t is now
nm to the farmer to take advantage Of
the facilities offered

Futures Sales Made
Of Southern Iron
Considerable Pig Engaged at Low
Prices for Delivery During
Third Quarter of Year.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, July IA
Considerable pig iron has been sold
in Southern territory for delivery
during the third quarter of the year,
some of tho larger consumers in the
East and elsewhere taking advantage
of the low prices.
Manufacturers In this section of the
country have concluded they have
sold enough iron at the low levels
and have advanced prices from so
cents to 81 per ton. The production
has been cut down at least 10 to 10
per cent, six furnaces in Tennessee
and Alabama being blown out. Re-
pair work is being done on one or two
of these furnaces. While S11 per ton,
No. foundry, is given as the aver
age price for the product, there still
are reports that concessions are be-
ing made.
Inquiries are in hand that promise
to result in business, export deals
under negotiation amounting TO H.
500 tons, while domestic business
under consideration amounts to not
less than $4,000 tons. The intentions
are to reduce the accumulated stacks
of IRON
The home consumption is looking
up Castiron pipe plants in Annis-
ton, North Birmingham, Greater
Birmingham, Bessemer, Holt Gads-
den and other places are beginning to
melt little more iron. The big plant
of the American Radiator Company
at North Birmingham has been start
ed up. 1t is proposed to melt 200 tons
of iron daily at this place. The COM
pany spent something like 100000 on
the big plant at North Birmingham,
The new pipe plant at Gadsden
started up this week and when in full
operation there will be a healthy
melt. This plant replaces the one de-
stroyed by fire.
There is considerable activity in the
steel market and all predictions now
are there will be steady operation of
plants through the balance of the
year. Southern railroads are begin
ming once more to announce estimates
of needs. Rail is in demand, as are
bolts and spikes,
There is a strong demand for coke
in this section of the country and all
manufacturers are finding it neces-
sary to keep coke ovens, both the
beehive and the by-product types in
full operation. Better prices prevail
for coke now than for some time.

Increase of 10 ~ Per Cent Is
Expected in Rail Earnings

While most of the railroads
ended their fiscal year June 80,
it will be month or more before
the actual gross and net for the
twelve months are available; new
ertheIess, with the figures now at
hand for the eleven months, II is
possible to estimate the results
for 1918.
According to those figures, It
now looks as If the railroads will
earn something like s3,175, 900 600
gross, or 100000 more than
was earned for 1912. That would
be an inc ease of 10 1-2 per cent.
Net after taxes will amount to
$s45,ooo,ooo in round figures, or a
gain of $73,ooo,ooo, or per cent
over the preceding twelve months.

An Advertising Asset.

1t is the custom for resorts with
favorable climate to advertise this
as an indncement to tourists and IN
vaiids: in the past reference has
often been made to simply pure
air. ''hot air or just ordinary
Glowing" Now that the value of
climatic conditions with reference to
health can be more correctly estl-
mated, mere statements as to natur-
al advantages in the way of spring,
air, sunshine, etc., do not carry such
weight. Something more definite
must be presented. Health condi-
tons in city or resort. to be regarded
as an asset for drawing visitors or
permanent residents, must be based
on actual figures, and many places
now vie with each other in that re-
spect.
The Manitou Springs Hot Iron
Club, commercial organization, in
order to attract visitors and resi-
dents, circulates a letter calling at
tentioa to the vital statistics and
'morbidity record of that city, as COM
piled hstheacity physician. This IS
commented on by the Journal of the
American Medical Association which
adds: The health of its inhabitants
is the best business asset which any
place can have and it is good business
and good advertising for business
mems associations to call attention
to. the actual figures with reference
to their city in this manner"
