In letter received at the headquarters of the Alabama department of the South ern Settlement and Development organ ization in this city yesterday from Glenn ent $. Ucker. director of colonization Of the above organization, located at Balti- more, information is given to the effect that a special agent of the organiza- tion will be in Alabama early in May with a view of selecting a site for the location of a large colony of employees of the Panama canal, who expect to be demitted from the government service in short while, due to the completion of the ca nal.
 The Southern Settlement and Develop ment organization sometime ago sent a special representative to the canal zont, to look into conditions there relative to the status of employees after their work on the canal had been completed. He found that there was decided tendency on the part of the thrifty and intelli- gent classes, who had saved the maior- ity of their earnings during their stay in Panama, to return to the United States and invest their money in farm lands preferably in the south. After a stay l of sometime in the canal zone this spe cial agent of the Southern Settlement and Development organization will sail for New York today, accompanied by an investigating committee of the Canal Zone club, composed of those employees who have banded together for the purpose of founding a cooperative colony in the south.
 Information comes from headquarters in Baltimore to the effect that these gen.
 tlemen will come direct 10 Alabama, and

WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF COTTON GOODS

New York, April 25.-Activity in war op- erations induced activity in heavy cotton goods at the end of the week, and sales of army duck and uniform wills aegre- gating S400000 in value were reported. The government has not begun to make acquisitions as yet, and the purchases re- ported were made by factors that usually supply government needs. Prices on uni- form wills have advanced l4c a yard and discounts on duck have been short ened from to 10 per cent as conse- quence of the unofficial operations thus far.
 General cotton goods market are quiet and there has been some easing in prices on print cloths on very small trading. Yarn markets continued to reflect a poor general trade and curtailment is being talked of among the spinners.
 Domestic cotton goods are inclined to be easy, but buyers cannot be induced to operate in any large way for immediate or future delivery,
 Prints hold steady. A weak spot in the stable gingham market has been removed by the announcement of an advance fol- lowing a reduction made a week or more ago on one line of goods. Wash goods are moving moderately and would be helped materially by warmec weather.
 Export trade is generally light. Prices are as follows: Print cloths, 2s-inch 64x6Os, 3ssc 3S-1a-inch 64x64s. 51sc; stand- ard southern sheetings, 7%@Sc; denims. oz., 14c; tickings, s-oz.. 131ac; standard prints, SAC; standard staple ginghams, GAG; dress ginghams, sac.

All. ARRANGEMENTS FOR GATHERING CF
 STATE TROOPS MADE:
General Scully Completes All Necessary Details at MOntgOmery-Awaits
 Official Orders
By t.. :. BETTY

Montgomery, April -tSpecial)-While every possible arrangement has been made Nor the mobilization of the state troops no official order has yet been re- ceived from the war department, accord- ing to Adjt Gen. Joseph B. Sculy.
 General Scully said to The Age Herald correspondent tonight that he had com pleted all necessary arrangements look ing to the mobilization of the state mili- tia, having arranged a camping site and contracted for all needed supplies.
 Everything is in readiness said General Scully, and nothing more will be done until further orders are received from Washington These orders may come at any moment. I anticipate that I shall have definite instructions within the next 24 hours"
 The camp site selected by General Scully and Capt. William P. Screws, U. S. A.. is near the Country club of this city, and has been provided with all san itary facilities. Should the troops be called into encampment, it is thought that they will remain here several months before leaving for the border, hence ar engagements have been made for long encampnfent
 So far as can be ascertained, there was nothing new from Washington today, the situation being much the same as yester- day.

NEGRO IS SHOT FROM
 BEHIND AT OXM00R
Coroner Says There Have Been Several Similar
 Murders of Late

H. D. Davis, negro laborer of Bir-

 mile south of Oxmoor yesterday morn- Ing. The negro had been killed by being
 shot in the back with a load of buck shot
 Coroner Charles l.. Spain was notified and went to the scene of the killing. Ac-

 to Oxmoor and environs for the purpose or Investigating the deaths of negroes

 killed several days ago. He was not robbed. He was just shot down and left In the woods to be discovered by who-
 ever first passed by. It looked as if some
 body had stalked him to nice, conven-
 lent spot and then 'potted him. At Oxmoor the citizens informed me that undoubtedly the negro had been Killed In craps game as many strange
 negroes come to Oxmoor on Saturday
 nights to gamble. However, I scarcely believe that theory, as negroes are not Tn the habit of going craps shooting with shotguns. And negroes have been killed about Oxmoor with shotguns with consid- erable frequency in the last few months. Somebody is doing this ambush work. Some assa ssin is evidently at large near Oxmoor. The killings are all very much alike The victim is shot in the back
 from very close quarters. In fact. gum
 wadding was found in the coat of Davis. which shows that the shotgun barrel
 must have been placed very close so as to insure almost instant death Of the victim. Now, who Is doing this ts the question that I must solver"

SHOULD SELL THE
SURPLUS HORSES
THAT Is THE SUGGESTION THAT
A WELL KNOWN FARMER
MAKES.

II notice." said well known and
successful farmer this morning, that
the Columbia Stock Yards wants a
lot Of mares and horses next Mon
day. They should be able to get
them. There is surplus of stock Of
this kind in the county and our hay
and corn crops are both short SO 1
believe that the farmers would do
we'll to take advantage of this chance
to dispose of their mares and horses.
Mules are low and there is not much
demand for them. 1t will pay better
to sell the mares and horses and keep
the mules than to reverse that rule.
1t would be a mighty good idea for
the farmers to avail themselves of
the opportunity which this demand
for mares and horses gives then to
save them high cost feed during the
winter"

DR.. O'CONNOR CALLS
MEETING Of FARMERS
FOR FIRST MONDAY
WILL ADDRESS THEM UPON PRO.
GRESS OF HOG CHOLERA
WORK IN COUNTY.
WANTS Their UNITED SUPPORT
DR.. kord, Of the State Department,
Will Also Speak at Meetins-EIev-
en- O'Clock Is the Hour Set for the
Meeting at the Court House.

DR.. M. P. O'Connor has called a
meeting of the Maury County Hog
Cholera Association at the court
house on Monday, October 5, at II
o'clock. He will address the mem.
bers upon the progress Of the work
and some matters that are allied to
IL.
DR.. OConnor wishes not only all the
officers of the association to be at
the meeting, but also all farmers in
the county who are interested in the
preservation of their hogs. He has
some very pertinent remarks to make
in regard to the situation in the coun-
ty and the treatment of sick hogs.
He has written all the leaders and
lcO-operators in the ten districts Of
the county to come and bring large
crowd of the farmers from their Sec
tions with them. He has not had
their support as he had wished, and
he wishes to enlist this aid and help
in the furtherance of the work that
is being done.
| In addition to DR.. O'Connor, the
meeting will also be addressed by DR..
Kord, who is the assistant appointed
by Dr.. White to look after the chole-
ra work for the state of Tennessee.
The local Office, for the first time
in several weeks, has about caught
up with the work in the county. Re
Gently they have had more work than
they could do, as calls have come
from all sections Of the county for
their services. Many of these have
been SO late that it has been almost
impossible to do anything for the
hogs. The efficacy of the treatment
depends entirely upon how soon after
the hog has taken the disease before
he is treated with the serum. Many
of the farmers have waited until the
whole herd was infected and some of
them died before calling upon the
state and government officials for
help. The result is that many of the
treatments have failed to accomplish
much.

FAIR SKIES LEND TO
PLEASURE OF ANNUAL
REUNION OF VETERANS
MOST ENJOYABLE DAY SPENT
BY THEM AT SOUTH SIDE
PARK TODAY.
GUESTS FROM GILES COUNTY
Near a Dozen Came Up From the Har-
vey Walker Bivouac to Spend Day
With Their Friends-Splendid
Lunch Served by Daughters.

Under fair skies and with mel
low, autumn sunshine beaming down
upon them, lending comfort and
pleasure to the enjoyment of the day,
the annual reunion of the followers
of the Lost Cause was held at South
Side Park today.
There was splendid attendance OF
the old soldiers. They came from all
sections of the county, some wearing
their uniforms of faded gray, emblem
of their devotion to cause that they
believed to be right and for which
they offered their lives as a sacr1-
fee, some stopped under the weight
of years and with heads hoary white
others not so feeble, but yet far be-
yond the meridian of life and facing
the setting sun. 1t was an inspiring
gathering, and seldom have the veter-
ans spent a more enjoyable day In
good fellowship, seldom was the day
more suspicious for the occasion that
is always a red letter day in the lives
Of the old soldiers.
At noon bountiful lunch was serv-
ed under the trees for the veterans
and their guests by the members OF
the Maury and Winnie Davis chap
tiers of the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy. There was an abundance for
all and then some to spare. the
Daughters added much to the COM
fort and enjoyment of the old SOL
diers during the day, putting them
selves to many pains to render the
day enjoyable to them.
In addition to the members OF the
Leonidas Polk Bivouac and the VIII
liam Henry Trousdale Camp, there
we're quite a number of guests from
the Harvey Walker Bivouac OF Giles
county. Among those who came up
TO spend the day with their comrades

SOME SUGGESTIONS
UPON WHY PEOPLE
SHOULD TRADE HERE
WHY NOT INACCURATE "TRAOE
AT HOME" MOVEMENT IN
COLUMBIA.
Cheaper HERE Than ELSEWHERE
Money Will Be Kept at Home and Not
Sent to Other Cities During the De-
preston That Prevails NoW-Sales
Forces Would Be Increased.
Why not a "Trade-At-Home" move

Why not "Trade-At-Home" move
ment!
Movements seem to be all the rage
since every one went to singing "Ev'
cry Little Movement Has a Meaning
of Its own" from Madame Sherry.
The latest movement started was the
buy-a-bale of cotton movement. 1t
has spread over the country like Wild
fire, and every city has taken hand
in it. New York is the latest to take
action and over 1000 bales were sold
there Thursday with but little effort.
But "trade-at-home" movement at.
fects every one in the city. 1t keeps
money at home. There has never
been a year in the history OF the city
that there have been such stocks OF
clothing and millinery brought to Co
lumbia by the merchants. 1t can be
truthfully said that Nashville, though
somewhat larger than Columbia, this
nothing more to offer. And 1t Is a
well established fact that the prices
there are higher than here. All well
informed shoppers will testify to that
tact. However, some cannot resist
Ihe temptation to get away from
home to buy, as they seem to labor
under the hallucination that their
clothes will look better than those
that they can get here. Yet the fact
remains that these articles of cloth
ing are bought from the same mills
and wholesale houses in the East that
'Ae Columbia stocks are.
One of the foremost merchants OF
inc city remarked a few days ago that
all the people in Maury county
Were to do their trading at home, cut
ou- all the mail order houses and the
''Jios at distance, the stores would
Rave to put on additional sales fore
eS hat he spoke the truth there Is
Hot q shadow of doubt.
HE best way to stop this trading
away from home, from the folks that
H''p you is to inaugurate "trade-at-
nome movement.
