ANITA MANUFACTURERS AND JOBBERS ARE DOING
Clearer Skies
Before Autumn
BY SPENCER TRASH & co.

We believe that by autumn a
number Of the problems now vex-
ing our financial and business men
will have been settled; the revised
tariff bill should have been passed
by September or October. By then
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion may have allowed the per
cent increase in freight rates de-
manded by the Eastern railroads,
and there is also the possibility Of
some bill having been passed
amending our wretched currency
laws.
BY then, too. the investing pub
lie will have the chance to get its
proper bearings.
In short, by the fall we should
know much better what our true
economic situation promises to be
for the next few years

Years Campaign Wased.
Mr.. Roberts ex-president Of the
association, has spent the past year
going from town to town in Georgia
enlisting the interest Of the mer-
chants IN the two bills which have
been introduced before the LeRisla-
ture
The garnishment bill proposes to
make all wages subject to Earnish-
ment. AS the law now stands, men
who do work which is entirely or in
part manual can not be garnished.
Thus the engineer on a locomotive
can not be garnished while the CON
ductor can be. The new bill makes
laborers' exemption 81 per day. and
30 per cent OF the amount above that
figure. In other words. laborer
making SO per day would have 81
subject to garnishment-50 per cent
OF the amount above 81.
In the call for the convention,
President Hardy says:
Solid Carloads Coming.

posed OF the leading progressive and
aggressive merchants Of the State
Several OF the larger and a few OF

how many different kinds Of things a

Winter Athletic Underwear.
The newest wrinkle is a line OF very
light flannel underwear of athletic

loose fitting, short sleeve and short

as In summer. but who hesitates to
go through December with the filmy
garments OF June.
No other factory has adopted this

There's always something new, as,
for instance, a Peter Hill idea Of
sizing union suits according to the
length of a mans body, as well as
according to its circumference.
NeclCwear demands more hand
work First, the silks have to be cut
by hand with sharp knives instead Of
with machines. The sewing is done
by machine, but the neckties have to
be turned right side out lined, press

costs in a necktie, for although silk Is
expensive enough II does not take any
great quantity TO make an ordinary
bow or four-in-hand tie.

JUST NOW BUSY

Business of Selling Securities at
Retail Has Much of Human
Interest in 1t.

This is the most interesting period
Of the year in the bond market AL
most every train leaving New York,
Chicago and Boston has carried rep
resentatives of the principal bond
houses into the country districts
where buyers of one, two or three
bonds, in receipt of their semi an
nual dividends. have been in position
to reinvest a portion of their savings

orders in July to make up for the
lean business of the last six months
The art of selling bonds at retail
has been reduced to a science. It is
full of human interest. The most
successful house in the business years
ago hit upon the plan of sending
young men on long visits to New
England towns to get acquainted with
the people. One salesman who gained
his experience in this way is now the
head of a great bond house.
He long ago gave up selling bonds
on the road, but almost every week
the mail brings him letter, with the
address written in a cramped, old
fashioned little hand, upon an en-
velope bearing the postmark of a
New England town. The writer was
one of those who attended the straw
berry festivals in the little white
church

years and the habit has now become
so well fixed that the trust companies
and banks which send their men to
her with attractive investment propo-
sitiOns do not get a hearing That
banker has made a small fortune In
commissions on sales of bonds to peo-
pie in those little towns.
Thrifty, we'll do and with good
connections, those people turn over to
him each year a volume of orders
which would make even the 10000
600 banks sit up and take notice. 1t
Is investment business of the best
sort, most of the bonds taken are
seldom resold, being held till maturi-

Following considerable agitation in
the last year regarding terms Of sale,
| the National Wholesale Lumber Deal
ers' Association has sent to it's MEM
bers a set of rules covering this
point that ii hopes to make uniform
all over the country This was done
by the association in recognition Of
the difficulties Of doing business under
the variation of sales terms that ex-
lists at the present time
Particular insistence Is made on
impressing on buyers the necessity
OF remembering that the terms Of sale
! under which an order is accepted are
as much a part of the contract as the
prices at which the lumber is sold.
CANNOT STRETCH TIME.
The purchaser has no more right,
according to the association COM
mittee on terms OF sale and trade
ethics, to stretch the time allowed
for payment or to violate other terms
Of sale than the seller has to raise
prices after they have once been
fixed.
These are the sales terms adopted
by the association:
The terms hereon are those
agreed on by both buyer and
seller and are a part Of the sale
agreement.

New York Judge of Appraisers Court
Rules on Baskets Of Mixed
Material.

Judge McClelland, of the Board Of
United States General Appraisers,
handed down a decision in New York
last week which is of particular in
terest to a thriving Atlanta concern.
A basket importing firm in the
East brought goods from abroad
which were made of braided rush in
natural color and stained willow. The
customs appraisers assessed duty Of
40 per cent, as stained willow, while
the importers claimed they should
pay only 35 per cent, as natural rush.
The importer lost before Judge Nc
Clelland.
The Bombayreed Importing and
Manufacturing Company Of Atlanta
imports considerable OF the same
class of goods, and watched the de-
cision with interest. In the past, It
is said, II has been the custom to de-
eide whether the duty shall be 35 or
40 per cent, according to whether the
natural rush or tho stained yellow
predomlnates in the design.

company, Is in Grand Rapids, Mich,

The New York Yankees are running
wild. Yesterday they went down to
Washington and beat the Senators In
both parts of the double-header. They
have now won four straight games.
The washingtons are now in second
division. The White Sox shut out the
Maps, and are fourth, while the Red
Sox beat the Athletics and took third
place.
The scores of the Yankee-Senator
contests were to each. The Yanks
hit hard In both games, collecting
thirty-one safe drives, for total OF
thirty Eight bases. Five pitchers were
used by Griffith, and all were badly
mussed up.
Except for errors, oe Wood, OF the
Red Sox, would have been credited
with a shutout against the Athletics.
The Sox won, 6 to l. outplaying the
Mack team at all stages. But four
safe hits were corralled off the de-
livery of Smoky joe" while nine
were retired on strikes.
Hal Chase got four hits in yester-
days game against the Maps, and his
single In the third was of material
aid in scoring the three White Sox
runs, the only taIlies of the game.
Cicotte kept the Maps hits well scat
tered, and good support enabled him
to come through with a shutout VIC
tory.

That's half of the series. anyhow.
Tigers may yet make it four
straight.
Ciymer's team hasn't shown any,
thing here that the tailenders haven't
had. too.
That apparently questionable tally
yesterday was all right. Dalton was
not doubled at second. but was put
out on a separate play. Bell scored
on Swacina's ny before this play was
made. so his run stands.
Manager Smith gave further evil
dence of his gameness when he stuck
to his guns yesterday though his
hand was badly bruised.
Jack Dunn seems TO have a real
find in Bill Morrisette, the former
college twirler. His performance
against the Royals yesterday gave
every indication that he'll make good.
Joe McGinnity won a game for
Tacoma this week by sending home
run over the left field fence at the
Spokane ball grounds. The feat had
not been done in eight years.
Dalton's batting average was 1000
yesterday. Jack is certainly playing
a whiriwind game.
Myers and Getz were the only
Tigers who failed to secure at least
ena hit.

gle, after Yale had won the opening
game of the series in New Haven on
Tuesday by a score of to 0.
The Yale team has lost only three
college games this year, and it APP
peared to be a slight favorite among
the college crowds here today. Many
of the collegians went on to Pough-
