without proper record or report to thu
manufacturer or jobber, and often
without any good reason for the re-
turn.
This house now sends with every
case of shoes shipped the following
notice: ITO eliminate the abuse of our
customers returning goods without
sufficient cause, as well as to avoid
the possibility of error, no merchan
disc will be accented from any tram
portation or carriage company uni 9ss

this plan is the opportunity which the

Chinese Anxious
For Imported Hose
Reports From Occident Indicate Bio
Demand for Article-SuppIy
Is Restricted.

In a report on haberdashery in
China. Consul General George e. An
derson, Of Hongkong, states that
imports of hosiery are increasing. His
report follows:
In hosiery there has been a vast
knitting mills for the cheap local
trade, but there has also been a no.
table increase in imports of higher
grade goods. Imports of silk and
high-grade cotton thread socks from
the United States have increased
greatly, especially a quality OF the
former which retail in the United
States around soc per pair and can
be sold here at trifle over 81 per
pair in local currency (Hongkong
dollar worth on July /, AZ Cents)
These goods are attractive, cheap and
popular, and the importers and gen
eral handlers of this class of mer-
chandise report favorably as to the
satisfaction given.
Further increase in the trade has
been hampered somewhat by the in
disposition of American and English
manufacturers to furnish mems hos.
iery in 8 and 12 sizes the sizes de-
manded by the Chinese trade. An
American manufacturer recently re-
fused an order for 1000 dozen silk
socks of such sizes, on the ground
that he could not furnish goods In
sizes smaller than size g. Germany
and Japan are accepting orders fol-
the smaller sized goods, and there is
reason to expect that they viii Sc

BUY IN ATLANTA,
ADVISES Yates;
BEST LINE HERE
Merchants of State Lose Time and
Money in Far-off Markets,
Says Jobber. +
llN ERCHANTS of Georgia, gel
wi your goods in Atlanta" is

k<N ERCHANTS of Georgia, get
wi your goods in Atlanta" is
the advice of P. D. Yates
vice president and buyer Of the Rid
ley W1lliamson-W Wyatt Company. SAT
lanta Is the distributing point OF the
great Southeast, and here you can
buy as great . variety as in any city
in the country, can get your goods
much quicker and in many cases
pay less money.
THE Atlanta jobber Is the Georgia
merchants friend. He frequently
carries the merchants account year
or two by way of pure accommoda-
ton. In far-ofs cities where the mer-
chant buys he is obliged to pay on the
dot, and there Is no accommodation
about II. We believe this situation
ought to appeal to the Georgia mer-
chant and cause him to quit sending
his money out of the State"
Mr., Yates pointed out that jebbing
houses in New York had practically
retired from the field because they
could not compete with the concerns
nearer the buyer. He declared that II
a merchant wanted ten different lines
and ordered from that many jobbers
he might not get a thing he wanted,
whereas If he ordered all ten through
Atlanta he would probably get as
many as five, If not more.
Furthermore" declared Mr.. Yates,
"the Atlanta jobber can Ali orders the
same day they are received, while the
Baltimore. Richmond, Cincinnati or
Louisville jobber is frequently ten
days or two weeks getting the goods
on the road"

Lice Trade Notes

A plan has failed for the establish
ment of a central selling agency in
London to maintain the price of rub
Der, but It is probable that the agita-,
ton will be revived.
The Aberfoyle Manufacturing Com
pany, textile fabrics, of Philadelphia,
are building an addition to their plant
and are sold up for months ahead
Vermont's sugar crop could have
been vastly doubled last season but
for the fact that 100000 maple trees
were not tapped.
The crop moving season in Cali
fornia has come, and it is estimated
that 600 carloads will daily be shipped
East.
Potato growers in southern Idaho
will get 100000 extra this year
through their utilization with a dis
tributlng agency.
The largest peach I orchard in
Washington State WIFI be destroyed
soon, or a cannery built to take care
of the crop. Poor market conditions
this season made 1t advisable to leave
the fruit on the trees.
Samples of heavy pongee silks from
China are being displayed In New

Names of Dealers

That merchants all over the
world are watching Atlanta Is at
tested by the receipt of letters
from Shanghai, China, and Tamise,
Belgium, asking for information.
w. II. Leahy, secretary of the In
dustrial and Statistical Bureau of
the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce,
received a letter from Shanghai
seeking the addresses Of dealers in
art curios, antiques, etc, and from
Tamise a letter asking for the

baskets and wicker work. Mr..

ton, with the declaration that
Georgia was good market for

its devotees. Every few weeks, con-

pipe for the old one, and goes on
smoking to his hearts content.
AS for briars, meerschaums, Gala

demonstrated by many Atlanta con-
Germs. Probably no company believes
more firmly in this time saving and la
Dor saving device than the E. G. VII

This company emphasizes the value OF

Not Enough Space

Despite the fact that space is being
arranged for sixteen retail produce
merchants on Produce Row, in their

half a dozen merchants are not going
to get in. A commission merchant
pointed this out Saturday He de-
clared that possibly additional space
would be provided later, but that just
now there was room for only sixteen.

Tokays have been 10 cents a pound,

MILLIONAIRE GUTH.

Baltimore Chocolate Magnate De-

Attacked Him With Ak.

Charles Guth, millionaire chocolate
manufacturer, of Baltimore, shot and
killed George Murphy his chauffeur
in the Guth garage this morning.
The men had fought desperately
Guth was arrested.
Murphy, the chauffeur, was a negro
For several days. Guth said, the
negro had been acting strangely. He
was moody and insolent. and had
given but slight attention to his du-
ties. When Mr. Smith went to the
garage this morning to be driven in
his car to his office Murphy still was
in a sullen and resentful mood. He
made insolent responses to his en-
ployer's orders, and Mr.. Guth rebuked
him sharply
The rebuke seemed to inspire Muir
ply with murderous frenzy. He pick
ed up an AK that lay near at hand
and made a mad rush for his en-
ployer. Mr. Guth managed to evade
the attack, went back into the house
and got his revolver
While inside ne telephoned the facts
to the Northern police station, and
then went back to the garage
He had Just entered the garage
when Murphy repeated his attack
with the ak. Mr. Guth grappled with
the Infatuated chauffeur, and finally.
when losing a hand-to- hand fight,
