STEEL and COPPER UP;
RALLYING after LULL
Red Metal Merger Yarn Used to Ut.
most by Trade Ciques.

New York, Nov. 2L-The copper stocks
and the steel issues came back strong at
midday in spots. American Smelling &
Refining rallied to a new high record
price at 123%. United States Steel again
touched 129, the record top price recorded
yesterday. Republic Steel, after selling
down to 50, rallied to 921a.
Steel and copper issues were soft in
the early session. At the same time
there was an announcement of a sale of
Lake copper at IS cents a pound, which
Is a new high record price for the metal
and ~ cents a pound above the previous
high level Of last week. Nevertheless
liquidation continued in Anaconda,
Smelters, Kennecott and the others.
losses ranging from a substantial fraction
to two points or so. In the steel group
United States Steel reacted a point after
touching 12S%. Lackawanna lost over a
point and Republic also. Gulf States
Steel moved up three points. but was
inactive.
There was further evidence that the
copper merger yarn had been used to
the utmost as a means for distributing
the copper shares. particularly the lower
priced ones. Stocks like Chile and Ne
vada. which on their own merits could
not have hoped to get up to any such
heights were able to reach these prices
under the buying of a credulous public,
which jumped at the merger story. There
was the very best of selling also in
Kennecott. and Its effect was manifest
in the action of the stock today.
Somebody asked the head of a certain
Wall Street house what he thought of
Utah Copper around Sl30 a share. where
1t sold on Saturday. "I understand that
a certain United States Senator still
owns 10000 shares Of Utah" came the
reply, for which he paid, not so many
years ago. 81 share. 1t is well to
remember that Utah. whose par value is
80 per share. is selling at nearly 1860. II

Local Pastor Dies at Memphis
Hospital

After many months of suffering
which made it impossible for him to
attend his duties for several months as
pastor of the Methodist church in Som
erville. Rev. G. W. Wilson on Wednes-
day morning passed to the great be-
yond, death coming while he was in a
Memphis hospital following an opera
tion for gall stones which was per-
formed several days before.
Deceased has been in the work of the
ministry within the Memphis confer
ence all his life, having served during
those years some Of it's most important
charges. He came to Somerville at
the beginning of the present confer
ence year last November and during
the spring was forced because of his
health to give up his work and 60 in
search Of relief. He spent many
months away, returned some weeks
ago but little improved. A week ago
he went to Memphis and on Thursday
of last week underwent the operation
from which he died on Wednesday
morning. During the months of his
active ministry here he endeared him
self to his congregation by his enthu-
siastic and consecrated service and his
death has occasioned serious regret
among the members of his congrega-
tion. He was particularly energetic
in the plans and work Of building the
new church edifce which is now near
ing completion and which will reflect
much credit upon him as the pastor in
charge and upon the congregation
when completed.
The remains were carried Thursday
over the L. & N. Railway to Martin.
Tennessee, where burial took place
that day.
Deceased leaves his wife and three
children. Austin and Willis, two grown
sons. and ; married daughter who
lives at Martin.

COUNTY NEWS.


Sometime ago one might have said,
and to an extent truly, that the. devil
cared little for other places just SO he
held Moscow for his own. To some, he
seemed to hold Moscow in the hollow of
his hand and showed ability to keep
every effort for good in the failure col
umn. But how different now, NO more
does satan have a controlling interest
in this people and to partly bear out
! our statement we give few facts that
should show the devil loser in the
place he once called his own.
The Methodist church at Moscow,
under the leadership of Rev. F. H..
Cumming, the beloved pastor, whose
services we have had but one short
year, has incr eased in membership,
twenty six. IS by profession and 8 BY
letters. A fund of about $4,000 has
been raised for different uses, and add
ed to this the ladies of the Missionary
Society have recently raised about
$500, The Sunday School under
Chss. H. Rich has membership OF
little less than 70 with a splendid aver
age attendance. Harmony is more
prevailing than ever among the mem
bers. several of whom are Tithers. The
present church building has been sold
to the colored M. E. church and funds
are being rapidly raised for the con-
strucsion Of handsome new edifice to
cost $5OOO.0O. This church during the
year has gone forward. due greatly to
the able and loyable leadership Of Rev.
Cumming who faithfully guards and
guides his flock along the path that
ends In safety, love and rest.
Altho we are not so familiar with
the affairs Of the Baptists, yet can say
the members of that branch of the
church deserve. much commendation.
especially the members of the Ladies
aid, who have raised something like
$414.0O by various means which fund
has been used In Christian ways.
This church bodyis planning an enter

the winter and are the beginning of
the hordes that destroy the cotton
next summer are developed in the
squares and feed on the tender shoots
of the top growth that is made the
last weeks before frost. Destroy all
stalks while they are green and before
frost and the weevils perish. The earl
ier this is done, the more weevils will
be destroyed. One weevikkiIled in the
fall may result in thousands less the
following summer.
Cut the stalks with a mower and
cure the hay to feed horses, mules and
cattle. The leaves and finer stems
make the rich hay, the stalks will be
waste. Cut the stalks with a stalk
cutter or hoe and plow them under to
a depth of to 5 inches.
Weevils live thru the winter under
trash in the cotton fields. ditch banks,
fence lows, turn rows and in the old
bark and rubbish around stumps,
clumps of trees and the timber. Clean
up these places.
Save seed of early fruiting varieties
now before it is shipped away. The
boil weevil does not do serious damage
until August and variety that fruits
heavily in July will give a profitable
yield in spite of severe boil weevil in
festaticn.
An early fruiting variety yielded
this year at the Experiment Station.
Stoneville, Mississippi. where the
weevil was abundant, 2,2OO pounds
seed cotton per acre, while in the same
field, ordinary late fruiting varieties
produced 500 pounds seed cotton an

led by Rev. ]. E. Bell, was well attend

The Holmes Hotel in Moscow is for

The town fathers are making ar
rangements to erect several street
lights 10 the most needed places around
town. An Ajax fire extinguisher also
has been ordered for the protection
against loss by fire. Both these acts
speak well for Moscow's officials and
show them to be interested in the well
fare of their town, and its citizens.
Fayette countians have reason to feel
proud of the recent fair at Somerville
and its success this year should encour-
age them for an even better one next
year. Moscow folks should take big
ger hold on this project and be up
front with exhibits next year.
