SAYS KING GEORGE
! IN POOR CON NDITION
FROM FALL OFF HORSE

SAVANNAH. Ga, Feb 16.-That
the King of England is in a critical
condition and may not recover from
injuries received when thrown from a
horse while reviewing troops in
France during the early part of Oc,
tober and that Great Britain is in a
bad way politically and on the verge
of a revolution that may be precipi-
tated by the lower classes at any time,
is the the report in an uncensored let
ter just received by Sidney Ormand,
former newspaper man and now pri-
vate secretary to Mayor Woodward of
Atlanta, from his his sister, Mrs. Alice
Ormand Campbell, who is in London.
Mrs. Campbell refers to the rigid
censorship of news regarding the con-
dition of the king, subject that the
newspapers do not touch upon, leaving
the general impression that he is any
thing but well. The source of Mrs.
Campbell's Information is Lady Trow-
bridge, a sister of the countess of Dud-
ley, who is close to the royal family
and a daily visitor to Buckingham pa
lace.
The story related to Mrs. Campbell
by Lady Trowbridge is that while in
France the King had been riding a
rather gentle horse, belonging to the
Count of Dudley, but on the day of the
review was furnished by the General
Staff with nervous and highly ex-
citable mount. The minute the King
was in the saddle the animal began to

LABOR UNIONS, ATTENTION!

Speaking of the saloon as the enemy of organized labor. Major Dan Morgan Smith (once an attorney for the liquor interests) points out that when a union bartender is driven out of his job by prohibition it prevents that bartender from selling liquor that will, in the course of a year. drive over thirty other union men out of their jobs"
 Tn this connection" continues Ma jor Smith. T would call the attention of labor union to the fact that it Is cardinal rule of unionism that a union workman shall not handle, buy or sell nonunion goods. Who ever heard of a union bartender looking for union label on whisky bottle? Who ever heard of union bartender throwing a case of beer into the alley because it was made by nonunion labor? If they did this they would have to throw the most of it in the alley. A large percentage of the hreweries through out the whole United States are not uniOnized. The union bartender sells nonunion whisky. sells nonunion beer, he helps the downfall of union broth CT and refuses to protect the wives and children of his fellow union men. What kind of union man is he. any how? The mere labelling a man 8 union man doesn't make him one, and he cannot be one in truth and in his heart, if he handles nonunion goods if he ruins union men and brings sor- row into union homes"

THE COTTON MARKET
 ADVANCES SLIGHTLY
Opening Unsettled But Close is Steady, 1 to 9 Points Up Offerings Were Light With No General Buying.

New York, June 6.-After a some what irregular and unsettled opening, the cotton market became tirmer on scattered covering by foreign or local shorts, with October contracts selling up from 12.73c to 12.S6c and closing lat 12.S3c The general list closed steady at a net advance of to 9 points.
 Liverpool made a relatively steady showing early, but broke several points just before the local opening, as though influenced by the reports of Lord Kitcheners death and uncer- tainty as to the immediate effect of this on English trade seemed to cause some nervousness around the local ring. First prices were 4 points higher to 1 point lower and the active months sold about ? to points under last nights closing figures during the first few minutes, with July touching 12.61c and December 12.90c. Houses with English connections in the Southwest were considered less fav- orable and prices soon became steadier.
 No aggressive or general buying developed, but offerings were light and the market showed increased firmness during the afternoon, owing to little further buying for Liver pool account and the comparatively small flowing supply of contracts. July sold up to 12.72c and December to 13.02c, or about p to 25 points above the low levels of last week and the close was within or 3 points of the best

REMARKABLE ANOMALY.

A London baIkcr-not a temperance man-is quoted by the Review of Re views as saying: The drink question has been just about the worst handled of any of the domestic problems which have confronted England since the out break of the war. The savings, direct and indirect, from the putting through of LloydGeorges total prohibition scheme last spring would have gone 8 mighty long way towards paying the cost of the war. We have the remark able anomaly of a people sacrificing rivers of blood for their country, and yet unwilling to give up the use of a beverage which not only wastes money but lowers their industrial and mili- tary efficiency as we'll.

DECLARES THERE IS
 NO RECOURSE AT LAW
Grocer Co. Complains That it is Distriminated Against by Railroads in Favor COmpeti- tor-LegislatiOn Needed.

Little Rock, June 7-Admitting that discrimination exists of such a character that one business concern may be seriously handicapped to the extent of being put out of business, Judge Trieber of Federal Court yes terday declared that there is no re- course at law, and that the condition must continue until 1t is remedied by further legislation.
 The Arkansas Wholesale Grocer Co., at Fl Dorado complains that it is discriminated against by the rail roads, in favor of the Ritchie Grocer Co.,, by reason of switching charges making shipping more favorable to the latter company. About year ago the Railroad Commission made an order that both the Iron Mountain and the Rock Island should provide equal shipping and switching faciH- ties for the two grocery houses But it has not been done. An appeal was made to the prosecuting attorney, but he could give no relief.
 Yesterday Commissioner Mcknight appealed to Judge TrieDer of U. s. District Court, and pointed out that the discrimination is of such a char acter that the Arkansas Wholesale Grocer Go. will be eventually put out of business unless there is change. The court admitted that such a condi- tion apparently exists, but said the law had not conferred upon the Com mission any power to remedy it. Therefore the Commissions order could not be enforced.

 The Boise (Idaho) Statesman says: January was a record breaker for the Carnegie library. Never in any previ- ous month have there been so many readers, the attendance almost doubling that of other months. This is thought to be due to the closing of the saloons. An unusual number of for eigners are now noticed in the library and it is possible foreign papers or magazines will be subscribed for, if the attendance keeps up enough to warrant it.
 Men who have never before been in the library now appear almost daily.
