conditions become more normal. 1t
is therefore evident that the price of
cotton must suffer, entsiling heavy
7ses upon farmers, unless banks
: some assistance hey ond their
nor asources. Cannot something
b. dom oy the government to assist
in this matter? Beyond the financial
conditions is the lack of neutral bot
toms to carry the requisite amount
Of cotton to bring any substantial
relief financially and as the exports
of cotton annually amount to nearly
100000 bales the amount of mon
ey involved will be large. This would
not all be necessary at once, but any
assistance offered by the government
would go a long way toward restor-
ing confidence. The loss will fall al
most entirely upon the farming class,
as cotton has not left the farmers
hands and the merchants cannot buy
without financial assistance"

LONE TRACK DOG MEANS OF RE-
CAPTURING TWO OONVICTS.
Jess Carver and Art Davis OveFpOwer
Guard in Lee County. Caught
After Short Liberty.

LEESBURG.-A lone track dog
belonging to the Lee county convict
camp has just placed again in the
county changing two white con-
victs, who escaped from Guard Bass,
near Flint river, Saturday. Trailing
along by itself the lone hound fol-
lowed the scent of the two escapes
through fields and swamps and thrice
across Flint river before the two men
were finally recaptured just over the
Lee county line in Dougherty.
The convict camp from which the
two men, Jesse Carver, life-termer,
and Art Davis, who is in for eight
years, escaped is in the eastern part
of the county near Flint river. Car
yer was the leader in the escape.
Slipping up on Guard Bass while the
latter was unaware of the convict's
presence Carver seized the big Colts
pistol from the guards pocket and
showed it into Bass face. There was
no one else around at the time, so the
convicts had the guard at their mer-
cy. They were bent on escaping,
however, so the two set out at once,
with the guards pistol. Before they
had gone more than a hundred or
two hundred yards the guard had
called others TO his aid. Then a
fusillade of Shots were exchanged
between the fleeing convicts and the
other guards. The convicts made
good their escape, however, for the
time, having struck out directly south
along the river. Once the faithful
track dog lost the trail entirely when
the men crossed a swamp, but it was
found again. Three times the fleeing
men IN vain crossed the river in order
to throw the animal off their trail.
After being at large from O'Clock
in the morning until about $3.50 in
the afternoon the two men were f.
naI1y captured by Warden Mcbride
and Sheriff Moreland of Lee county
Just across the Dougherty county

camp.

statistics contained in the new bulle-

Grading of Cotton, show that at New
Orleans in May, 1914, middling
straight cotton sold at 13A cents.
AT the same time good ordinary

Prices Adjusted Monthly.
At the present time the differences
in prices for the various grades are
fixed three times each year in the
New York cotton exchange. This
rule, however, has recently been re-
vised and beginning on September 8,
1914, the price differences will be
adjusted monthly. On September 1,
1914, the Liverpool market will
adopt the new standards which it has
agreed upon. These are much like
the United States standard except
that the word fully is used for our
word strict. The lower grades in the
Liverpool scale also have wider color
variation than the United States
permit.

LONDON.-From the moment
Austria-Hungary caught the whole
world mapping in its swift attack on
servfa the German emperor has been
one of the principal figures in the
situation.
Today all London regards him as
the chief figure-isolated dominat-
ing, unafraid, with his back to the
wall, desiring peace, but adhering to
the demand of his people for war.
Many persons believe the situation
would have been different today if
Emperor William had been at Pots
dam instead of with his feet in the
North Sea when the Hapsburgs pro-
ceeded to their chastisement of Ser
via; but when William II reached
home all Germany was aflame with
enthusiasm over the great struggle
between Teuton and Serb.
The German emperor, towering
head and shoulders over every other
figure in Europe. IS regarded by dip
lomatists here as being in the tight
est place in his remarkable career
with Italy running away from the
Triple Alliance and with Austria
reasonably busy with SerVia and the
other Balkan states.

William II Towers Over Europe;
A Modern Frederick the Great

Emperor William stands surround
ed. Russia is mobilizing on the one
hand, France on the other, and Great
Britain is threatening his navy and
throwing a Gordon of ships around
his seaports.
Well may the Kaiser say, as he,
said in a speech Saturday, "A dark
day has today broken over Ger
many. Envious persons are every
where compelling US to defense"
Modern Frederick the Great.
Thus the emperor stands, in the
eyes of England, a sort of modern
Frederick the Great, beset on every
side by enemies. And he is the great
figure of the situation, which in al
most the twinkling of an eye has
changed to place him in a position of
great military disadvantage.
Those who have seen the Kaiser
lately have remarked that, while his
physical condition is apparently per-
feet the cares and troubles of his,
rule have indelibly marked his face
almost as if SCARED with the wounds
of battle. His latest photographs
show heavy lines as in the face of a
runner who has gone at a terrific
pace.

mrs. WOODROW WILSON is DEAD
Wife of President of United States
Passes Away at White House.

Passes Away at White House.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. g.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. wife of the
president of the United States, died
at the white house in Washington
at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Death came after a brave struggle
of months against Bright's disease
with complications. The president
was completely unnerved by the
shock, and his grief was heartrend-
ing. He bore up well under the
strain, however, and devoted himself
to his daughters.
The end came while Mrs. Wilson
was unconscious. Her illness took a
turn for the worst shortly before 1
o'clock in the afternoon, and from
then on she gradually grew weaker.
Funeral arrangements have not
been made. The place of burial will
be either Rome, Ga, or Princeton, N.
j., where the family resided for 25
years.

TO PROTECT SHIPPING
STEPS ARE BEING TAKEN BY
UNITED STATES CONGRESS.
Senate Passes Bill to Establish Naval
Lines to Carry Passengers and
Freight to Europe.

WASHINGTON senate to-
day voted to authorize the secretary
of the navy to establish naval lines
to carry mail, passengers and
freight to South America and Eu-
rope. The bill goes to the house.
Without opposition the house ma
rine committee today favorably re-
ported a bill empowering the presi-
dent to suspend certain inhibitions
against bringing foreign ships under
the American register and thus pre-
vent paralysis of transatlantic ship
ping.
The bill in question will bring into
immediate commercial use a fleet of
auxiliary cruisers, GOLFERS, etc, of
the United States navy. The neu-
trality of the United States will ena-
BILE vessels to handle American COM
merce and to relieve the condition
of American crops at the ports of
the country. While the tonnage of
this fleet is not sufficient to meet all
the demands its immediate use in
commerce will tend greatly to relieve
the situation.
During the consideration Of the
bill Senator Hoke Smith addressed
the senate and urged that it was the
duty of congress to take steps to ia
cilitate the commerce of America not
only by providing means of transpor-
tation to South Africa, but to- Europe
and the Orient and declared that
ways and means should be devised
at once to accommodate the COM
MERGE Of the nation.
It's chief features would eliminate
the requirements that a ship must
be five years old to qualify for Amer
lean registry; authorize the president
to suspend provisions that all watch
officers must be Americans, and sus-
pend the requirement Of the survey,
inspection and measurements by
United States officers of foreign built
vessels adm1tLed 10 American regis
try.
Although Europe is in a state of
war no definition has been made by
any of the belligerents of what they
will regard as contraband.
The American export trade is wait
ing with interest the ruling of the
interested powers on the articles
which they consider susceptible of
military use.
Under international law there are
two kinds of contraband-absoll
and conditional. The former applies
to materials of direct military use,
such as ammunition, guns, shells,
explosives, etc.
