saying that after he had been taken

showed into Congress from Indiana
he met Chapple and that ever since
their admiration had been mutual
he also drew attention TO the fact
that like al true newspapermcn he
doubted If there had ever been an
hour i'm the past twenty years when
Chapple did not have a note IA the
bank. "A man verges on ossitication. q"

THREE WISDOM SISTERS
ARE WONDERFUL SINGERS
Ladies Now Singing at Revival at the
First Methodist Church In
This City.

The church-going people of Green
wood are enjoying a rare treat in the
singing of the Wisdom Sisters, at the
Revival now in progress at the First
Methodist church, being conducted by
DR.. j. A. Hall, the pastor. The Wis
dom Sisters have won much favorable
comment all throughout the South
wherever they have sung. Their
voices blend perfectly and they sing
with that assurance only seen in ex-
perts, confident of themselves and
without fear.
The ladies sing two or three songs
at each service, then join in the gen.
eral singing. The special songs sung
by them are sung without music, lend
ing still greater enchantment to the
beautiful tones Of their voices.
The services are being well attended
and much good is being done by the
Revival The morning services are
at ten o'clock and the evening hour Of
worship is at 7:30. The people Of
Greenwood are most cordially urged
to attend this revival and hear these
wonderful Wisdom Sisters sing.

SNEAK THIEVES ENTER
TWO HOUSES YESTERDAY
Residences on Lamar Street Entered
During Afternoon and Ran
sacked,

sacked.
Sneak thieves yesterday afternoon
between three and four-thirty o'clock
entered the residences of Mr.. G. W..
Telfair at 2O5 Lamar street, and Mr..
A. Gilbert, just across the street from
Mr.. Telfair's. Just what was taken
off by the thieves has not been def
nitely learned. At Mr.. Telfair's the
haul was light, the culprits evidently
being frightened away. Entrance
was made by cutting the screen wire
in the door and unlatching the hook
inside.
At Mr.. Gilbert's the thieves liter
ally turned the house inside out.
Drawers were pulled out and contents
emptied upon the floor, and the signs
indicated that general search had
been made for money.
1t is generally thought by the po-
lice and many citizens of the city that
the thieves are small negro boys, who
in the disguise of delivery boys ap-
proach house without attracting the
attention of the neighbors. If a
knock brings a response the delivery
boy asks the number of the house,
finding that not the place he was
looking for. If no one is at home
operations commence Immediately.

LIVERPOOL MARK EFT
DAILY COTTON LETTER,

New Orleans, Oct. 3.-Liverpool
acted poorly, showing only 8 points
advance this morning, whereas about
13 points are required to meet the
advance on our side. Spots are quot
ed % points higher; sales 10000
bales.
Liverpool in every way seems to
show increasing opposition and mis-"
givings as to high prices. A stricter
hand to mouth policy and economy in
the acquisition of raw material by
Lancashire appears to be certain.
Ever since the disaster to the crop
by damaging weather conditions be-
came evident early in August, specu-
lation on our side has been engaged
in finding the maximum value for
cotton. The markets in this process
have been carried to 16 IL cents and
as futures most of the time were
ahead of spot prices, producers were
willing sellers and the crop, owing to
favorable weather conditions, was
rapidly got to market. The future
markets carrying an unusually large
portion of the supply. The counter
part to the large hedge sales is the
investment and transient long inter-
est of confident speculation, but in
case anything should occur to induce
this force to retrench or retire, even
temporarily, from the market, the
acute state of technical conditions
would become quickly apparent. While
higher values for cotton seem justi-
fed in the end, the markets have
been carried up rather fast and close
to maximum expectations at the be-
ginning of the season. Leading spot
brokers report the market in dead
lock with only little trading in
specialties. No regular export de-
mand for common staple which is
bought only when cheap enough to
carry with futures. Holders, how
ever, were firm.

bination participated in the series Of
a year ago in addition to Janvrin,
Barry, Hoblitzel, Gainor, Scott Tho
mas, Shore, Ruth, Leonard and Foster.
In 1912 Boston had batting aver
age Of .22O, fielding average Of .958.
In 1916 the Red Sox batted .264 and
lie;ded .97S. This season the averages
show that up to within a few days of
the close of the pennant the Boston
club, considered as whole was bat
ting .24S and fielding .971. Taking
the figures for the two Worlds Sc
ries and the work of the team for the
major part of the 1916 pennant sea-
son the grand batting average will be
found .244 and the fielding average
.969.
The opinion is held in some quarters
that the outfeld with iris Speaker
missing from the lineup is not as
strong as the one that played in the
1912 and the 1915 series. The ab-
sence of Barry from second base, due
to injuries, is thought by certain
critics to have weakened the infeld
defense and offense during the closing
weeks of the race and it is contended
that should he be able to participate
in the series play the team will be
far more formidable than with Barry
on the bench.
There is but one opinion regarding
the pitching staff, however, and
lance at the work of the twirlers,
who have borne the burden of the
hurting, and their records for the
present season will indicate clearly
the reason for the Boston fans op-
timism regarding the outcome Of the
coming contests. The average of the
leading pitchers, both on the basis of
games won and lost and earned runs
per game by opponents, are as fol-
lows:
Shore, eco and 2.75; Mays, .615
and 2.30; Ruth 667 and 2.01; Leon
ard .613 and 2.37; Foster .5o1 and
2.O7; Gregg 1888 anl Sc.
