PREFER ST. S|MONS
TO INAUGURATION
Georgia Military Men Pre-
fer Summer Camp Rather
Than Washington Trip

Atlanta, February f6.-(Special.) MEM
bers of the Fifth Infantry regiment. Geor-
gia National Guard, have two opinions
regarding the failure of Atlanta to con-
tribute enough to send the regiment to
Washington for the inaugural parade.
Committees started out to raise a fund
of $4,000 to pay the expenses of the regi-
ment, and after securing about two-
thirds of the amount found that the rest
was practically impossible and gave it
up as a bad job.
The members of the regiment feel a
little bit sore from the fact that At
lanta did not feel enough interest in
them to complete this fund. At the same
time there is scarcely one out of 10 men
in the regiment who wanted to make the
trip. The majority of them are all anx-
ious to go for an encampment on St
Simon's Island this summer. plans for
which have been under discussion for the
past six months, and they felt that their
employers as rule would not relea SO
them for both trips.
For this reason it may be said that
most of the men, and in fact the ma
jority of the officers, are glad the WASH
ington trip is off, and yet they can't help
the regiment the consideration which it
should have.
Il am satisfied said one of the cap
tains of the regiment, that the majority
of the men are glad the Washington trip
is off. Our idea in making that trip was
purely patriotic one. We thought that
Atlanta should be represented and that
the regiment would be the proper means
of representation IN the inaugural pa
rade. but of course, IL the people of At
lanta are not sufficiently interested in
it TO enable the regiment to make the trip
1t is all right.
'The men are all looking forward to
the coming encampment on st. Simon 5
and are satisfied they will enjoy that a
great deal more than they would the trif
to Washington, where they would have
been compelled TO accept crowded quar-
| ters.
IF Atlanta feels that way about it, IL
| is all right. and l believe most of us are
better satisfied than If the fund had been
| -aised.'

CRITICAL PERIOD IN
COTTON THIS WEEK
Time Approaching When
Price Changes Will Be
Inevitable

New orleans. February 16.-The cot
ton market this week promises to be a
critical period. Inactivity and indecsion
have been prolonged to an unusual extent
and the time is approaching when price
changes will be inevitable Any change,
either way, will be all the wider and
more violent because it has been delayed
for so long a time.
Naturally, the bears are confident that
the market will end its stagnation by a
sharp break, while the bulls are equally
confident that a sudden bulge will be
seen. Bears still confidently base their
confidence in the new crop. which they
insist is bound to be planted on a
most extensive scale, but are grow
ing encouraged by the falling off
in mill takings and exports and the
way stocks are piling up abroad and at
interior points In this country. At the
end of this week the trade will anxiously
wait for the statistics on mill takings
and If takings show any falling off COM
pared with last year important bearlsh
operations will put the total of takings
for the season under last years total
which would destroy one of the best
weapons of the bulls and which they
have used with effect from nearly the
first of the season.
The spot demand will attract no little
attention and if it continues to show i'm
provement as it did last week bears
will be hampered in their operations.
The new crop situation will grow in I'm
portance and weather that win prevent
work in the fields will have a bullish
effect on the contract market, while ex-
tremely favorable weather might be con-
sidered of more Importance than any
other feature Favorable weather now
would consist of a period of high tenn
peratures With no rains. 1t promises
to become a weather market sooner than
usual this year.

look there will be heavy acreage of cot

made last night, when 40 students met

ment of such course here would be an
excellent move TO the front.

SHOOTS BROTHER AND
QUICKLY ENDS OWN LIFE

Newport. KY, June IA reign
of terror was created at Fourth and
Brighton streets last night when
Samuel Moore, 50 years old, fired a
bullet into the neck of his brother,
John Moore, seriously wounding
him, and later turned the revolver
upon himself, inficting wound
from which he died almost instant
ly.
Shortly before s o'clock as John
Moore was standing in front of his
home at Fourth and Brighton, Sam
uel Moore turned the corner of
Fifth street and started in the di-
rection Of his brothers home. With
out a word he whipped a revolver
from his coat pocket, witnesses
say. and fired one shot at his broth
er.
John fell TO the sidewalk with
a wound in his left cheek. Friends
of both men said that although they
were brothers, there had been a
grudge of many years standing and
this was in all probability the cause
of the tragedy.
