FALL TERM OF CHANCERY

There are Many Cases on Docket

Disposed of.

The fall term of chancery
court will convene at nine O'Clock
tomorrow morning. Judge j. F.

There is an unusually large
amount of business to be dis
posed of, as the docket embraces
forty-eight cases, but as these
cases are of minor significance,
thirty.two of them being suits
for divorce, the business can be
easily disposed of. and the term
will hardly last more than a few
days.
None Of the cases are impor-
tant, being mostly suits for d.
vorce and petitions for the di-
vision of property, and the term
will incite only a small degree of

KELLY AND WHITE LEAVE FOR
TUSCALOOSA WITH SHERIFF
Not Connected with Bibbville
Robbery, but are Wanted on
Other Charges.

Lum Kelly and ]. w. White,
the two men arrested here last
Wednesday night by Policemen
Cummings and Cook on suspicion
of having been connected with a
recent train robbery near Bibb-
vile, Ala, left at noon yesterday
for Tuscaloosa in charge of w.
G. Palmer. sheriff of Tuscaloosa
county, who came here after
them.
While there is no evidence to
connect either of the men with
the Bibbville robbery, they are
both wanted in Tuscaloosa for
minor crimes, and were taken
there to answer charges now
pending against them.
Kelly seems to be a pretty bad
egg. and, according to his own
admissions, has killed at least
one man. He told local officials
that he was convicted for this
crime. and that after having
served seven years IN prison he
was pardoned by the governor of
Alabama. Since his release he
has committed other minor crimes
which have never been expiated,
end White also is wanted to stand
trial on indictments for several
violations of the law.

New York Giants and Phila-
delphia Athletics will Inau-
gurate Fight on that Date.
LOCAL INTEREST INTENSE
Returns will be Received at Prin-
cess Theatre, and Great Crowds
are Expected.

A vast amount of local interest
is being displayed in the contest
for the worlds championship Sc
ries which will be inaugurated
next Tuesday between the New
York Giants and the Philadelphia
Athletics.
The opening game will take
place in New York, and it is esti-
mated that at least forty thous-
! and enthusiastic fans will witness
the contest. The initi0l game is
melting nationwide interest
and the officials Of the New
York club have announced
that they have returned at
least fifty thousand dollars in
cash and checks from people who
desired seats end who could not
be accommodated.
Local interest in the outcome
of the series is intense, and in
order to accommodate Columbus
fans who want to know the news
from the games Manager E. L.
Kuykendal of the Pfncess Thea
tire, through the cS&tesy Of Mr..
G. M. Flynn. president of the lo.
cal baseball association, has ar
ranged 10 secure the details
of Tuesdays game. These
details will come over special
wires, and will be announced -
patrons of the Princess theatre
beginning at one o'clock Tuesday
afternoon.
The interest when local 19nS
are manifesting in the series is
being augmented by the fact
that Al Demaree, pitcher who
twirled for the local Cotton States
League team in 1908. is now with
the New York Giants, and is one
of McGraw's main dependents.
Most of the celebrated sport
ing writer's seem to think that
Philadelphia will win the series,
but local fans are pulling for
New York simply because Dema-
rec is on the team.

REPORTS ISSUED;
MARKET DECLINES
Government Figures on Con-
dition and Ginnings Sends
Cotton Downward.
DECEMBER OFF 70 POINTS
Condition Shown to be Gal.
while 3,237,851 Bales Have
been Cinned.

Two important cotton state
ments were sent out by the fed
eral government Thursday, a re-
port on the number of bales
ginned up to September 25th
having been issued at nine o clock,
while at eleven o'clock an esti-
mate on the condition of the crop
on the same date was made pub
lie. The first report showed the
number of bales ginned to have
been 3,237, ,851, while the second
showed the condition of the crop
to be 64.1.
An estimate issued by a lead
ing Southern paper the first of
the week placed the condition at
65.1, and Notwithstanding the
fact that the government esti-
mate was a little lower than this
the market weakened and futures
began to decline. The heaviest
decline was in December quota
tions, which dropped from Is 80
to 1870. a net loss Of twenty
points The market soon rallied.
however, and a portion OF the
loss was regained, the closing
quotation for Dece mber having
been 1890.
Spots were not materially af-
fected by the report, good mid
ding having sold here Thursday
for 1875, which is within a few
points of the high level for the
current season.
Under normal conditions prices
would have advanced on the
strength of the two reports which
were issued Thursday, but To-
cal cotton men maintain the opin-
ion that the reports hadbeen fore |
stalled by previous private esti-
mates which discounted their ef-
feet upon the market. Any way,
the cotton market is always un-
certain, and no one can predict
with accuracy what effect even
such important pronouncements
as government reports will have
upon it.
The market declined again
Friday, but another advance was
experienced yesterday, New York
spots having closed at ID 20 and
December futures at 1890. In
the local market good middling
was selling yesterday at IA cents.

PROPERTY IS PROTECTED
Holdings of American Citizens
will not be Molested by the
Rebel Forces.

Piedras Negras, Mexico, Oct.
1.-The city of Piedras Negras
will not be destroy ed, and every
property owned by Americas
and others during the anticipa j
hostilities between the Cons. .g.
tionalist and Federal parties v |
be protected.
This assurance was given tie
American military authorities by
representatives of General Jesus
Carranza, rebel Constitutionalist
commander, following vigorous
protests made by the State De-
partment through United State
consul Blocker.
1t had been reported that with
the evacuation of the city by the
Constitutionalist plans had been
made to dynamite the town %
prevent anything of value failing
into the hands of the Federals in
case their advance was not check
ed by the momentarily expected
engagement south of here.
In the communication to Con-
sul Blocker Carranza expressed
the hope that nothing would oc-
cur to warrant the American SOL
diers crossing the inter national
line. 1t was intimated that it
might become necessary to destroy
some of the buildings owed by
known Federal adherents, but
that foreign ow ned property
would fair treatment.
Following this assurance, the
remaining residents of Piedras
Negras, with the assistance of
the American authorities, organ.
lied a nuetral government, and
martial law is now practically in
force. Fifty men were employed
to guard property on reports that
organized bands had begun to
sack abandoned residences and
business places. lDoters will be
summarily shot.
The protest Of the State De-
partment were presented by Con-
sui Blocker and Major Caldwell.
of the Fourteeth United States
Infantry, in command of the
troops at Eagle Pass.
At the conclusion of their con.
terrence with the Constitutions
lists the Americans were greeted
with cries of Judge deuvas"

On the American side the SOL
djers patrolled the entire river
front to prevent Federal sympa-
thizers crossing the border to be-
gin a filibustering expedition.
Fear of such a contingency after
the army left Piedras Negras
was expressed to-day by the Con-
stitutionalist chiefs. At both ends
of the international bridge strong
guards were maintained.
