Macon. Ga, Sept. 2.-Judge Emory
Cnoor who is now at Highlands, N. C.,
where he will be for the remainder OF
the summer, may handle his own de-
fense. The judge is a sufferer trolh
hay fever at this season of the year
and always seeks a high altitude dur-
ing the period the hay fever is on.
Judge speer, it is understood IS
thoroughly confident of complete
vindication at the hands of the COM
mittee of congress that will investigate
the charges against him. He is
comforting frequently with his advis>
.ory counsel in reference to his case.
It is expected that Judge Speer viii
conduct his own defense, and make
the arguments before the committee
in his own behalf A number of nia
friends have urged him to do this and
it is safe to say that no more powerful
advocate than Judge Speer is living
in the present time. If he does take
matters into his own hands it is pre-

BUREAU SENDS
COTTON VALUES
SOARING Higher
MARKET JUMPS 80 POINTS
Crop Condition is Lower Than
Expected

In Americas cotton circles the pub,
lication yesterday of the monthly gov
ernment report on crop condition was
awaited with keenest interest by
warehousemen buyers and sellers, the
gradual advance in values during the
early hours of the session indicating
a bullish feeling in the market and
a lower crop estimate than had been
expected.
The report came at II o'clock and
the figures flashed were 682 per cent
which was very much lower than anti
cipated, and compared with 74.S per
cent on September 1st last year, a
difference of six and six-tenths points.
And Immediately the price of COT
ton went aeroplaning, the October op-
ton jumping up thirty points at one
clip.
A condition report of 6S.2 at this date
would indicate smaller cotton crop
than had been expected. The report
yesterday was the lowest in four years
that Of September. 1909, having been
63.7 per cent. The average for Sep
tember during the past ten years, ac-
cording to local statistics, was TAT per
cent.
The commercial cotton crop of 1912
as announced yesterday, at the clos
Of August on Saturday night was a.
1915 bales, a decrease under last
year of 1,971,311 an increase over the
year before last of 2,047,O20, and an in
crease over 19O9-1O of 3,557,447.
Southern consumption which was
2,969,559 bales, is the largest amount
ever used by the Southern mills in any
one year, exceeding last years total
by 225,4 ,492 bales, and that of the year
before by 6O5,943 bales.
While the futures market has ad-
1anced sixty points in the past two
days, more than half a cent a poun'l,
the local spot market has not adj
vanced correspondingly Americus
buyers asked 12 IA cents YESTERDAY
for the better grades, but buyers were
not very actively in the market, pre-
ferring to await for day any aggres-
sive buying.
The crop condition report issued
yesterday together with the general
crop outlook, would seem to point to
even higher prices for cotton eventu-
ally.

CONDUCT HIS OWN CASE
ReDnrted That the Judge viii Handle Own Case Before
Judiciary Committee When 1t Comes Up for lnves-
tqatlOn..,SOme Of His Friends Advise This Step

dicted that the defense will be con-
Quoted in a brilliant manner and that
Judge Speer's argument in behalf Of
himself will be the finest heard in this
country in many years.
The first sessions of the judiciary
committee of congress to take testi-
mony will be probably held in th9
United States court room, in Macon,
the room in which Judge Speer holds
court. The members of the committae,
will be the judges this time, however,
and Judge Speer will appear as al
advocate AS an advocate in the days
when he was a practicing attorney,
Judge Speer had no peer at the
American bar and his long years on
the bench and his hard study Of legal
matters have no doubt added greatly
to his ability in that line.
With his own reputation at stake, Il
is believed that in case he handles the
case himself he will put up one Of the
finest defenses ever heard in any
court in the world.

WAYS OF FINDING PARTNERS
Some New and Original Ideas Which
intending Hostesses May Find
of Real Value.

correspondent kindly tells OF
these ways to find partners:
"One girl had conundrums written
on cards and given to the girls; the
answers to these were handed to the
gentlemen and they were numbered
corresponding with the numbers on
the girls cards; they were told to
find who their partners were. An
other girl had the girls names writ
ten backward on cards and handed
them to the gentlemen and told them
to make out who their partners were
Another girl had a small piece cut out
of the card; the pieces were given to
the girls and the other portions of the
cards were given to the gentlemen
and they were told to look for the
girl who held the card corresponding
with theirs. Another put the girls
names on cards and they were put in
envelopes and sealed and hid in dif-
ferent places in the parlOr."

of the best summer rugs made OF wool,

father, who was in the Indian civil
service, was stationed at Bankipur
when the mutfny broke out.
Lord Sligo's wife and infant son,
seven months old, the new marques,
were sent for safety to a place which
was surrounded by rebels for a fort
night The child, however, was safely
taken through the sepoy lines by a
faithful Indian nurse, who dyed his
skin as a ruse to pass him of as her
own son. A long time passed before
the boy was restored to his anxious
parents, who meantime had to go
through a further siege at Monghyr

PIMPLES COVERED FACE

1913 Dayton St, Chicago, Il1.-'My
face was very red and irritated and
was covered with pimples. The PIN
les festered and came to a head.
They itched and burned and when
scratched them became sore. I tried
soaps and they would not stop the
itching and burning Of the skin. This
lasted for a month or more. At last
tried Cuticura Ointment and Soap.
They took out the burning and itching
of the skin, soothing it very much and
giving the relief that the others failed
to give me. I used the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment about three weeks and
was completely cured" (Signed) Miss
