Pessinists GroU Cheerful Asking Cotton Leads Way
 To National Prosperity
Advance in Staple Caused by Short Crop Followed by Boom in All Industry-Unemploymen Decreas-
 ing and Prosperous Era Just Ahead

precision breeds prosperity. Knoxville and a great many other towns report incipient booms. The editor of the News Signal of Middletown, O.. has published a 66page paper proclaim' ing that "business is better" and tho newspaper from one end of the coun try to the other seem agreed thai good times have come again.
 It is true that the antiphony of the unemployed is occasionally to b5 heard, but most people think tha; their numbers have been exaggerated and are decreasing, and that there will be work for every on who really wants it before the winter sets in This view Is, in my judgment, sus- tained by the facts. and the thing most to be feared is that the under production in many lines from coal to canned goods will be manifest iv great scarcity and high prices as the season advances.
 English News RcassurinR
 The news from England Is reassur ing, DeValera seems to have talked too much, and the report that some of his Sim Fein associates are now calling attention to the fact that he was born in America, the son of a Spanish father and an Irish mother,
 
 turning against him. This leads me to venture the prediction that through the patient diplomacy of Lloyd George the Irish question will be settled and l the London stock exchange appears to agree with this view, for it is strong and cheerful.
 The only other European news that bears directly upon American busi- ness is the closing of the Berlin stock exchange, where trading has been sus- pended all week because of the de- cline in marks, which sold in New York at .0099&c each on Thursday last. This means that 10000 marks, worth about s2,40O before the war, could have been bought for $99.75 It means also the ultimate demone- tization of paper in Germany, with all the pitiful distress. that accom- panies precipitate deflation. Without currency that her people will ac cept Germany's ability to compete with the rest of the world will be temporarily at an end and while this will be in a sense reassuring to those who have feared the ghost of Ger. man competition, it's social and politi- cal consequences may be disturbing. Other foreign exchanges have been remarkably steady. when the break in marks is considered, and for the present ,at least, France and England appear to be prepared against the impending debacle In Germany. Whether they and the rest of the world can remain unaffected by the utter impoverishment of the German people is a question that the future must answer. Political economy and history suggest a negative reply.

 Wife During Absence

Livingston, September 11.-(Spe- cial.)-Last night J. A. McCree, a prominent farmer living near Coato- pa, in this county, shot and killed Roy Barrymore, owner of the farm rented to Mckee, and with whom Mckee was boarding.

 Barrymore also left the place, re- turning about dark, Seeing him at the lot saddling his horse with the evident purpose of fleeing, Mckee, with shotgun, approached him and asked gwhat he meant by his conduct, and upon the answer that he was ig- norant of any misconduct, tore half of his head off with load of bird shot.
 Preliminary trial was held this morning, and Mckee was placed under $1000 bond

Thousands Join In Mass Singing at
 Annual Song Meet

Columbus, Miss, September h. ial.)-Thousands of people came to Columbus today for the an- nual all-day singing event which was held in the auditorium of the First Baptist church. Song leaders were here from two states. and the singing today was the largest and most successful that has ever been held in northeast Mississippi or west ern Alabama.
 The visitors began arriving in the city last night and steady streams of people flowed into Columbus all the morning. They came in automo- piles, trucks, busses, wagons and buggies, and on all incoming trains.
 Automobiles were lined up for blocks and blocks in the vicinity of the big auditorium, and the crowd was a recordbreaker.
 At noon the 5000 visitors were guests of the people of Columbus at a big community barbecue and dinner, WnlCn was served unQer the shade of the trees on the campus of the Stephen D. Lee High school. It was the most elaborate dinner ever served in Columbus.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock this morn ing the big convention was called to order by K. I. Harrison, general chairman of the committee on ar |rangements. J. A. Goree. a singing chairman of wide experience, was then selected as permanent chairman of the convention.
 The convention, after singing a series of the old harp songs, during the afternoon session adjourned at o'clock.
 Boy Scouts rendered a fine serv- ice during the day, acting IS guides in handling the big crowds and at- tending to the parking of autos. The singing is an annual event in Co., lumbus, having been started last year. The time for holding the sing ing next year will be the second Sum- day in October instead of Septem- Der.

COTTON SHIFTS IN
 WEEK OF CHANGES
Price Ranges Over S20 Bale In Week of Spectacular
 Trading
By Associated Press

New Orleans, September 1.-The prlce of cotton moved over a range of nearly cents a pound or $2o d bale this week, fluctuations being violent in the extreme on several sessions and held in check only by rules of the exchange, limiting price changes to 200 points in any one ses sion. Wednesday all months bulged the full 200 points allowed, on the first sales on the opening call, some thing never before witnessed. At the highest levels of the week, prices were 400 points over last week 8 close and at the lowest they were unchanged to Is points up, compared with the same close. The range car ried the market over 3S5 to 400 points.
 october traded as high as 21.49c and May as high as 22.10c On the close October stood at eo.25c and May at 19.45c, the near months being the last couple of days of the week.
 
 to 276 points on the list. In the spot department middling gained 325 points in the net results, closing at 20.25c against 29.25c a. year ago.
 Storm Is Factor
 In the early sessions of the week the tendency of Liverpool to make sensational advances was the chief stimulating influence but later on the heavy rains in Texas and the ap- pearance of a hurricane in tropical waters was the main factors.
 On the closing session pronounced strength was displayed as the result of the disastrous storm in Texas and the increasing evidence that the hur- ricane was moving toward the Yuca- tan channel from which locality it would be the usual menace to the cotton region.
 The storm in Texas had marked effect on values because it followed several days of local rains the ef- feet of which was held to be disas- trous because of the great quantity of cotton open in the west.
 Attention Paid Buying
 great deal of attention was paid during the week to the buying fur ries in the cotton markets of the country and advances in price there reacted favorably on values in the cotton market. The textile situa- tion was brought into increased prominence because mill takings for the week of American cotton were 232,000 bales against 161,000 this week last year and 167,000 two years ago. The increased exports of yarns from Great Britain were received very favorably. British board of trade returns showed exports of yarns during August of 15,200, 900 pounds against 12,90O,000 during the same month last year. Reports of Q generally better spot inquiry in the markets of the interior had not lit- tie to do with the rise in contracts.

Many Angles to Richmond Murder Mystery Puzzle To
 Nations Best DetectiUes
Arrest in New Mexico of Alleged Slayer of Wife, Whose Body Was Found Frozen in James River, Proves
 Adage, Murder Will Outv

whom Captain Hadley and his wife had lived.
 This woman told of strange feelings between the couple. She made affi- davits to that effect that the prose- cutor has these statements, but he woman, Mrs. E. G. Clark, Is dead.
 There was no water in the lungs of Mrs. Hadley when her ice cov- cred body was dragged from the James, and doctors say this is con elusive evidence that she was dead before the river claimed her as it's own. The heavy rock also told it's mute but eloquent story of foul play Mrs. Hadley was a pianist and a soprano, with a coloratureo voice, which had given promise of a career upon the stage. As Sue Tinsley, she took a music course at Oberlin, D., having been born in Cincinnati. Dr. Hadley was graduated from the med 'lcal school of the University of Texas in 1914, but local officials do not know what he did between that time and his arrival here toward the end of the war. His records have been stolen from the files of the war de- partment at Washington and cannot be found.
 Long Wait for Identify
 
 body was found in the James before correct identification was made. Meantime, there were many pitiful scenes at the morgue. Men and women came to Richmond from vari- ous parts of the country seeking lost relatives, but each one looked in vain until at last Mrs. Clark was attracted by the case and made the identifica- iton. By this time, however, Dr. Hadley had gone. He disappeared as if the earth had opened up and swal- lowed him. Eventually a man turned up who had seen him leaving the city in a high-powered automobile. The case was placed In the hands of private detectives, and then pa tient and systematic search of the country was begun. The stranger with the black beard at Pennington had in some manner aroused sus- picion. Detectives quickly were on the trail, and when at last they con fronted Hadley, the man made no re- sistance and readily consented to re- turn.
 As to motives, there are said to be several. One has to do with an army nurse as the third member of an eternal triangle. Another has to do with a mysterious "Dr. Griffith" mentioned in the alleged confessions by Hadley in which he says he killed ''the doctor" because he was annoy ing Mrs. Hadley. There is the third theory that Dr. Hadley had been suffering in 1918 from the effects of an old injury which is said to have produced perioditic attacks of apna- Sja.
 Finally there has been a repudia- tion of the confession. The trial will come next month, and it promis es to rank with the Beattie case of d decade ago.

P|TTSbURG ID HELP
 BUILD 1000 HOMES
Chamber of Commerce Will Help Workingmen Plan
 and Finance Homes
By Associated Press

Pittsburg, September 1.-Two thou sand new houses for the Pittsburg district within the next year is the aim of the housing corporation of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce, formed to better the acute rent and home situation here.
 Cheap money, construction at about one-half the usual cost and expert supervision without charge are leading features of the plan It has so appealed to the public that scores of building applications have been filed.
 The movement is for civic better ment, without profit to the corpora tion. It's officers are giving their time and business experience without hope of financial reward. Bankers, builders and material dealers have fallen into line. The result has been that money for construction is avail able at the legal rate of per cent without bonus, materials are being provided at little more than cost, and some 1000 lots have been listed as available sites for dwellings,.
 The corporation has no money. nor does it assume any obligations. On the other hand, it insists that every house be financed before work is started, but it helps in the financ- ing.
 Must Have 20 Per Cent
 It demands that each prospective builder shall have not less than go per cent of the total cost. Then it tells him where he can get a first mortgage for 60 per cent, and if nee essary it puts him In touch with an institution that will take second mortgage for the remaining 20 per cent.
 This plan is primarily to help those living on moderate salaries and incomes who have been hardest hit by the shortage of houses and the consequent high rents,' W. A. Thomp- son, president of the corporation, says.
 With this in mind we have set put to build modest, substantial and com fortable homes at low cost These houses will have all the conveniences and necessities. They will be good to look upon, but they will not be showy, and best of all they will be worth every cent invested in them.
 we are simply applying to the man who wants a home the methods by which mass production has been successful. and giving him the bene- fit of the saving in costs"
