Office Hours.

In order to insure better protection
to the valuab BILE public records, espe-
cially papers bearing on the foreign
relations of the government, and on the
army and navy preparations for coast
and border defenses. it has been found
necessary to issue more stringent regu-
lations for the admission of all unoffi-
cial persons to the State, War and Navy
building before and after the regular
hours for public business, including
Sundays and holidays.
To that end Col. Harts. the superintend-
ent of buildings. with the approval of the
Secretaries of the three departments has
instructed the watch force of the building
to deny admission to the building at those
times to all persons not known personally
to the watchmen as having legitimate
business in the building, unless they are
provided with cards of admission from
either one of the three Secretaries, the
heads of the various bureaus or the super
intendent of the building. The order is
made applicable to newspaper men not
known to the watchmen. as well as to all
other persons.

| WET WEATHER CAUSES
DECIDED WHEAT ADVANCE
Bullish Crop Advices From Canada
and Australia Also Tell Against
the Bears.

CHICAGO, July 19.-Wet weather
that implied delay to the harvesting
and movement of the new crop brought
about a decided advance today in the
wheat market here. The July delivery
was especially affected. Bullish crop
advices from Canada and Australia told
to some extent against the bears.
Opening prices, which ranged from
u to IN higher, were followed by other
material gains before there was any
important reaction.
Corn Rise Only Moderate.
Corn rose with wheat The upturn,
however, was only moderate. After
opening H to B higher. the market
tended to sag.
In the oats crowd. prices seemed to be
governed by the action of other grain.
Most of the business was between flour
traders.
Lower quotations for hogs carried
provisions down grade. On the decline,
though, packers turned to the buying
side.

ering wheat, corn and oats we proper
~ add the rice crop of 30.000.000
bushels. the total grain for the south
this year will be l,570.000.000 bushels.
and this years rice crop exceeds
by 100000 bushels last years. we
would have ii total increase of grain
in this section of 292,000.0o0 bushels.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

is not willing to meet you in open
discussion or debate on all subjects
that interest or instruct US.
No! never! should any pub!ica-
ton be suppressed whose words are
as goads to drive the beast, the evil
doer, little faster from the bull
warks of American independence.
He who sits, or stands in the way
of such an endeavor especially in
high places, is either a coward or a
knaye.
Very truly yours,
Thomson, Ga. w. H. SHIELDS.
