WANTED A THOUSAND BALES
BUT PRICE is DECLINED
Local Dealer Refused Offer
Of 6 81 Cents

Americas cotton warehousemen are
not in the market, and neither are the
farmers, when the price of cotton drops
to the present figure. This fact was
fully demonstrated yesterday when a
local warehouseman received tele-
graphic inquiry from Carolina mil
owner, who desired to place an order
here for one thousand bales of cotton
at ga cents.
The reply he received left no doubt
upon his mind that Sumter county cot
ton could never be had at any such
panic price as that offered. The mills
are loading up on cotton at less than
half the price they expected to pay TO"
it, but the price of cotton goods, manu-
featured from Z cents cotton, will b.
the same as though the mills had paid
Is cents for the staple.

MENUS ARE NOW NEUTRAL
IN CHICAGO RESTAURANTS

CHICAGO, Sept. 2S.-The leading
hotels and restaurants of this city in
order to observe strict neutrality, have
eliminated from menus French, Ger
man and Russian names of popular
dishes. The Germans have been boy
cotting French and Russian dishes,
while "goulash" and Weiner schnil-
eel" found no favor with English, Rus
sian and French guests.
Under the new rules of civilized eat
ing as applied to peaceable Chicago
restaurants, where "canape russo" led
off for luncheon, caviar on toste is the
new appetizer. "Weiner schnitzel, Hol-
STEM" has been given its passports
and veal outlets with fried egg AMI
vegetables rushed into its place. "Filet
mignon" is no more; it is plain ten
derloin steak. Chicken broth zen ge-
lee" is just plain chicken broth in Jelly.

with new peas. Chicken "sous cloche"

There is more Catarrh in this section Of The
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For a great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be constitutional disease,
and therefore requires constitutional treatment.

BOWIE TRACK HAS
FAIR OPENING WEEK
New Prince George Park Course
Attracting More Patronage
as Meet Progresses.

Racing conditions at Bowie are i'm
proving every day, and the public. as 1t
becomes better acquainted with the
track its officials, and its method Of
conducting business, is increasing its
patronage and giving generous support
to- the new enterprise.
Opening in opposition to Laurel, an
established course with large wealth be-
hind It and a superior class of horses
attracted by the big stakes, Bowie was
badly handicapped. In spite of all this,
however, the new track has held its own,
and In point of attendance has done
quite as well as its older rival.
1t is probable that this state of af-
fairs results from the fact that race
Soers generally shy at the pari-mutuel
machines and prefer to do their specu-
lating in the old way, with the book
makers.
Whatever may be the outcome of the
conflict between Bowie and Laurel, it
is evident that the opposition is injuring
of those who go to the new track would
be at Laurel but for the conflict, and
vice versa. If racing associations have
any regard for financial results they will
see to II that there are no more OF these
conflicts in the future.
Bowie was favored with great turn
out yesterday, the largest Of the meet
ing so far. With this big crowd filling
the grandstand and overfiowing On to
the lawn, and with eighteen boolsies
marking up the odds. things presented
very lively appearance, and one calcu-
lated to give the management decided
