YOUTH WANTED FOR
 MURDER GIVEN INTO
 CUSTODY OF THE LAW
Graves Kelley, Charged With Killing l Sheriff Granger at Dothan, Given Up to Authorities by Father

\ Dothan. November 30-(Special.) )
 Graves Kelley, IS, wanted here on a
 charge, of murder for killing Deputy \ Grady Granger in the suburbs of Doth-
 an Saturday night, was surrendered to 1 Sheriff John A. May of Houston coun-
 ty this morning at o'clock, according < to an agreement made with Sheriff May | by T. E. Kelley, representative from
 this county, father of the young man wanted. Sheriff May said last night that he had told relatives of Kelley
 that unless he was surrendered by noon today that his entire force would re- sort to any measures necessary to ar rest him.
 Relatives of Kelley had previously offered to surrender him provided he was placed in some other jail than the Houston county jail as they feared mob violence. District Attorney Hill would
 not agree to this arrangement, it is
 said, as in his opinion ample protec-
 tion and comfortable accommodations could be provided here.
 The crime for which young Kelley is wanted has stirred Houston County very much. Kelley shot and almost instantly killed Deputy Granger after Granger and Deputy Talmage May had
 searched his buggy in the suburbs of
 Dothan.

ATLANTA

Atlanta, Ga, November 30.-Merchants in the larger popuous centers of the southeastern section of the country, are of the opinion that the December busl- ness will be larger than for several years.
 Retail stores in Atlanta have laid in larger stocks than usual at this season of the year and early Christmas trade is justifylng these preparations. accord ing to a statement today by Grover Magehee, secretary of the Atlanta Re- tail Merchants association.
 'I do not know whether the people have more money than in former years, but I do know that they seem to have more confidence and are spending 1t more freely" said MT. Magehee.
 Tampa, Fla, merchants are reported to be of unanimous opinion in making greater preparations than in previous years. The business theremometer is considered by many there to center in the cigar and tobacco retail trade, which shows increased shipments. Shipments have recently broken weekly records for autumn and fall business.
 Savannah and Charleston both report that retail merchants are enjoying healthy carly Christmas trade and expect in- creases over recent years.
 Waycross, Ga, began celebrating Pros perity Week. yesterday. The programme includes a greeting message conveyed from President Wilson and speakers equally well known in Georgia.

RALEIGH

Raleigh N. C., November 30.--Business conditions throughout North Carolina are improving rapidly, according to merchants in touch with conditions in the state.
 John A. Park. president of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, gave this state- ment:
 Business conditions in this state are improving rapidly. In North Carolina we have not felt the sudden impetus which war orders have caused in other parts of the country. but as our crops are being harvested, and the money for them coming in, we realize that a great wave of prosperity Is sweeping over our section. Prices on practically every farm product are better than last year at this time The war situation has taught us many things, and the biggest is that the teaching of economy must be followed. I firmly believe there is more ready money available this year for Christmas shop ping than at any time in the past sev- eral years Raleigh merchants have be- come thoroughly alive to the situation and Christmas trade is now further ad- vanced in this city than 1t was 10 days before Christmas last year.

a doll contest in which 0 number of popular little girls of the city have been entered. The prize is a beautiful doll with a complete wardrobe in- cluding a travelling trunk and a doll carriage. This is always one of the fea- lures of the bazaar and much interest is expected in the contest before it closes.
 A line of beautiful fancy work suit able for holiday gifts is on display.
 And now comes the "piece de resist ance.' a booth upon which copies of Mrs. Helen s. Woodruff's book. MT. Doctor Man. written especially for the Children's hospital, all the proceeds from its sale to be applied to the hos pital fund The ladies expect great results from the sale of this charming tale of love and joy.
 Altogether the bazaar is a delight and if not 8 joy forever will certain- ly be joy for the balance of the week. Mrs. T. D ParlSe is the general crairman. Mrs. Frank Anderson has charge of the doll booth. Miss Fan nie Davis the dolls clothes Mrs. Val Nesbitt the baby clothes, Mrs Hol- land H. Fletcher the fancy work. Mrs. T. V, Boardman and Mrs Quinn the candy store. Mrs. Dan Hogan the grab bag, Mrs. Hale Tarrant and Mrs w c. Phillips, Mrs. o. |. Stephenson and Mrs. Fleming have in charge the sale of MT. Doctor Man
 These ladies with the officers and members of the hospital association are giving freely of their time and means to the support of the Childrens $ hospital, which is one of the most worthy of the city's charities, and ask a liberal patronage at the bazar dur ing the week for they largely depend on the proceeds of the bazar to finance the institution.
 In connection with the bazar din- ner is served daily from 12 to at the Hillman cafe by church women of the city. Yesterday the ladies of the South Highland Methodist church served an elegant turkey dinner which was liberaliy patronized. Today the ladies of the congregation of Temple Emanul- -El will serve dinner with Mrs Louis Gelders in charge.

 M, B. Kreeger. president of the Retail Merchants bureau. said:
 "The fall shopping here has been much heavier than last year and some what larger than in several previous years. November has been an excep- tionally big month for our retail mer- chants and the people have the money to pay for their purchases.

AN ANSWER

By Mrs. F. 4. Holley You say my pathway shall be of roses, Thiclxly strewn by your own lovins hand;
 That what IS SC truly your hearts wish Must be also the infinite plan. But the finite cannot know the infinite, Nor can we question Gods way. Yet we know in most lives are Decembers As well as the bright. Gladstone May And what if affliction assailed me, Stealing brightness from cheek anc from brow;
 Would your arms enfold me as truly, As gently in their passion as now?.
 Then into thy keeping
 I give this bright gem of my heart;
 Dropping my life into thine, dearest, Till God breaks our earth-life apart.

Ny CHARLES a. HANDY

Whoever it was that made the state ment that dolls would be scarce this year owing to the European war was not wise to the situation and could easily be induced to change his or her mind by visit to the doll hazar that is being held this week on Twentieth street between Third and Fourth ave- nues for the benefit of the Children's hospital, as hundreds of dolls are on hand, On display there are dolls ga lore, dolls large and dolls small, dolls of high degree and dolls of low de- gree. In this connection one sees 8 faithful reproduction of crowned au- toerat of Europe standing by tur- baned nanny of the -bellum days There are dolls dressed and dolls in negligee and then More dolls So, in view of the above facts the sugges- tion of scarcity of dolls is all wrong. Katrina, it is all wrong.
 The bazar presents a pretty scene with its tastefully decorated booths loaded with delicate and dainty ar ticles, for in addition to the splendid array of dolls, there are on display numerous and sundry articles of exqui- site fancy work from sure enough baby garments to dolls clothing of the va riety that the ladies declare are just darling" The line of dolls clothing Is very complete and dolls "a la Sep tember morn can be fitted out with an elaborate rousseau or wedding gown.
 Then there is the candy booth where toothsome and wholesome sweets are temptingly displayed all homemade and very inviting. Nearby is Santa Claus chimney where, in consideration of dime, one can dive into grab basket and hang onto a package that contains an article ranging in value from dime to dollar. We'll. that is what the lady in charge says.

"The av- craze planter in addition to his cotton planted more foodstuffs and, therefore, has more money to spend in other lines of trade. He also received to cents q pound more for his cotton than a year age.
 'CoIlections are better now than in several years and there are fewer fail- ures and adjustments"
 Similar conditions also are reported from Little Rock, Helena. Pine Bluff, Ark, vicksburg, Jackson. Miss, Jackson, Tenn. and other points in the Mississippi val ley, according to MT. Cleveland.
