Sales of Manganese

Sales of limited tonnages of ferro man. ganese for re-export have aroused much interest. English makers, who fear that some of their product may finally find its way to Germany have requested their agents in this country not to sell material for re-export to Europe. Some conces slons in prices are being made from the regular quotations.
 Mills in the Pittsburg district rolling shapes. plates and bars, are now operat- ing at about 40 per cent of capacity and recent specifications have not exceeded S5 per cent. Reports from other parts of the country, although not as definite. in- dicate that active capacity Is not greater than 1t is In the Pittsburg district.
 American mills are figuring on 13,00( tons of plates for riveted water pipe line in Australia, with fair prospect of the business coming to this country. The Carnegie Steel company will furnish 4,o0t tons for the dreadnaught to be built by the New York Ship Building company as we'll as a similar tonnage announced last week for the dreadnaught to be built by the Newport News Shipbuiding com pany."

Principal of TourteIotte Memorial
 High School to Be Reelected. as the
 Result of Special Town Meetins-
 Only One Man Opposed.
 At a special town meeting in the town of Thompson. Thursday after noon, the town voted to request the school board to reengage George W. Hathaway as principal of the Tour tellotte Memorial High school for an- other year. There was only one dis senting vote. that of Oscar Munyan, one of the school board. who has been unfavorab1e to MT. Hathaway
 Several letters were read from Mrs. Jacob F. Tourtellotte, of Minneapolis, who with her husband, gave the town the s15O 900 high school building, re- ouesting that MT. Hathaway be re- tained for another year. Mrs. Tour tellntte stated that if MT. Hathaway was reelected. she would build fine residence near the school for the prfn- cipaI and would increase her yearly contribution for the expenses of main- taining the school from s4,000 to Ss,o0o a year.
 A fund of S60o,0 ,0oo has just been left by the late Mr. Tourtellotte that will come to the town outright after the termination of several life estates and
  Tourtellotte will remember the town in her will; thereby it is expected the town will eventually receive fund Of s1 000,0 900 from the Tourtellotte es- tate.
 The school board has been at a deadlock over the hiring of prin- cipal and it was for the purpose Of breaking this deadlock that the meet ing was held
 MT. Munyan was the only one who had a word to say against MT. Hath away. He said that Hathaway had been writing Mrs Tourtellotte let ters and had stirred her up and given her false impressions and that he was trying to blackmail the town to get his salary raised" He said that Hathaway had been working to have Mrs. Tourtellotte leave her money so that he (Hathaway) would be sure of life position as princi- pal.

COTTON SITUATION DESCRIBED.
Gordon A. Johnstone Tells of Unusual
 Conditions in the South,

Conditions in the South.
 Gordon A. Johnstone, agent of the Fulton Bag and Cotton company at Atlanta, Ga. one of the great textile plants of the south. and formerly in Danie1son as agent of the Danielson Cotton company, had much of inter est to tell Thursday relative to the south's great cotton crop. after his arrival for a few days stay.
 MT. Johnstone describes a rather unprecedented condition, the great percentage of the crop remaining un- nicked in the fields because the banks will advance no more money to the growers to meet the harvesting costs. Figuring the abundance of the great snoWy staple under present conditions, due in great measure to the European war the banks regard the price level as likely to reach cents. possibly 6, and for that reason do not care to in- crease their loans to the growers. The big planters with plenty of money. MT. Johnstone says. are not so bard hit as they can readily finance the picking of the crop, but the' small planter with few acres and mule -grower of a few bales Of cotton is up against it.
 On his way north MT. Johnstone looked out from car windows on many thousands of acres of cotton where inc first picking has not yet been done. although the time for doing ii has long since passed. Conferences between bankers and planters were underway when MT. Johnstene left Atlanta zit1, via% ta Aralrtne g

LiNIMENT FOR STOMACH ACHE
Did Not Prove a Very Effiesoious Ffemedy for Mrs. Louis La Chap. belle.

7emedy for Mrs. Louis La chap-
 belle.
 A pain developed in the stomach of Mrs. Louis La Chappelle, who lives with her husband in the Stone Row, Thursday morning, and to remedy 1t she proceeded to dose herself with sas1ae linfmeat that Dr. F. E. Wilcox had prescribed for her for external application. The woman evidently feared the medicine less than the ache .hs for she took 8 liberal wine glass full and waited for results. When the de- sired effect on her stomach did not immediately appear, she was not in the lease feazed, but went ahead and poured out another glassful of Hrnt- lowed the second dose and she speed fly forgot the .stomachache. Iiod1ne was one Of tfe constituents of the lisiimsat and 1t did not go well with the lining of Mrs. La Chappelle's stomach On the contrary it had a decidedly caustic and uncomfortable effect
 The husband of the woman gave the alarm to Chief Richmond some time before noon and he went to. the Stone Row. and saw the woman. She was lying fin bed with only her face show ing, but the officer saw that 1t was lease for the doctors and not the police. The woman said she had taken the dose abont 9.30 o'clock. It was the only, thing on hand and she tried to get along with what she had Somebody had thrown the bottle away and so the chief sent for Dr. Wilcox, to learn what was in the alininlent. Dr Girouard was also called in to see the woman.
 Dr. Wilcox responded quickly and admlntstered an antidete for the iodine and Mrs. La Ghappelle seemed to be dning well later on. although it is too early to tell what the precise effect IS going to be, At any rate it was one way of getting rid of a stomach ache.
