der that of 1911»12 of 1,971,311

! He says that the crop of Texas,
'which is 635,000 bales over last
O'ear, is the largest ever grown in that
state, but that the Texas increase
has been more than offset by a fall-
ing off la other sections, the group
of "other gulf states" embracing
Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Tennessee, Oklahoma, Missouri, Ari-
zona, California, Kansas and New
Mexico having fallen off 496,000
bales and the group of Atlantic
states, Including Alabama, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Kentucky and Virginia,
showing a decrease of 2,010,000
bales.
The weight of the crop, Mr. Hester
Bays, was 427, one hundred pound
per bale heavier, the increase weight
being equivalent to an additional
118,000 bales of last years growth
and practically every vestige of the
crop has been used and the mills
have had to trench on the visible and

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—The
senate was put upon notice today
ot an effort to carry the currency
revision question over until the reg-
ular session when Senator Weeks,
republican member of the committee
now conducting currency hearings,
presented a resolution to direct the
committee to withhold its report un-
til December 2. The resolution will
be brought up tomorrow. The demo-
cratic leaders were confident the
movement would receive support on-

Senator Hitchcock, democrat, said

NEW YORK. Sept. 4.—A suit In
equity to obtain from the federal
court all injunction under the Sher-
man law against the Bo-called Jewel-
ry combine to curb activities of mid-
dle men or jobbers was prepared for
filing today by United States Dis-
trict Attorney Marshall. Attorneys
for the jewelry manufacturers and j
wholesalers, it was said, have con-
sented to a friendly settlement of
the questions.
The bringing of the civil suit In-
dicates that the criminal proceedings
commenced here last June have been
abandoned.
Two national associations of man-
ulacturers and wholesalers and
hundreds of Individuals engaged in
the jewelry business from Maine to
California are interested in the suits.
The petition to be filed in accord-
ance with directions of Attorney
General McReynolds declares that
the retail dealers of the country
desire to deal directly with the man-
ufacturer and would do so but for
the alleged unlawful combination.
The object of this combination, it
states, was to prevent Jewelry manu-
facturers selling their wares direct
to retailers in various states with-
out the interventions of the jobber
and to destroy competition between
RALEIGH, N. C., Sept. 4.—J. B. Blades of Newbern,
one of the state's leading lumber mill men, just back from
Washington, North Carolina, declared tonight there was a
feeling of certainty that Ocracoke Island, on the coast, was
wave swept in yesterday's hurricane, and that not a living
soul of the nearly 500 people of the island escaped. This
belief was based on the high tide in Pamlico sound. Mor-
head City, Beaufort, Newbern, Washington, Baybore, Bell-
haven and dozens of other small towns on the coast are re-
ported as having great losses from the fury of the gale.
At Washington the water was waist deep in the street.
Two railroad bridges, one a mile long, of the Norfolk South-
ern were washed away, docks, large warehouses, residences
and splendid public buildings were destroyed and three per-
sons were reported dead.
In Newbern the water was several feet deep in the
streets. A number of small vessels were sunk, puMR

Mill Activity in South.
Mr. Hester says that American
mills have had another year of re-
markable ace. -oth north and
*outh; the number of bales used h?\v-
Irg been better than ever before, and
aside from mention in some instances
of necessity for more labor there has
been a singular absence of complaints
of any kind. In the south which
has been the most active, will re-
plies as a rule, bave contained the
sterotyped statement of "full time.'*
An increase of 545,000 Bpindles is
shown In southern mills in opera-
tion and seven mills In course of con-
struction, with liberal additions of
spindles to old concerns, embrace a
total of exceeding 300.000 additional
Bundles most of which may come
into play in the near future. Last
reason, he says, the mills as a whole
did not reach their maximum con-
sumption until the last half of the
year. This year, while the aggre-
I gates have rarled, there has been no
let up from month to month, and
i early indications of record consump-
tion were sustained as the season
progressed.
He puts the spindles in the south
at 12,819,338, Including old, Idle
and not completed, against 12,318,-

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—One hund-

en route to Rome and the Holy Land.
The party is in charge of Bishop

Washington, Sept. 4.—Forecast:
East Texas: Fair Friday and Sat-
urday; light variable winds.
West Taxaa: Probably fair Fri-
day and S»»uxd*Y,
will be published.
A feature of the convention to-
day was the discharge of the com-
mittee on the great consumption of
cotton. After R. D. Bowen of Paris,
Texas, chairman, had made his re-
port, it was charged that Bowen at-
tended a farmers union conference at
New Orleans last April which was
held for the purpose of fighting the
tariff bill now pending in congress.
A heated discussion preceded the
discharge of the committee.
The report of the legislative com-
mittee as adopted declared against
the alien ownership of land and said
that the "corporations should not be
allowed to own more than is ne-
cessary."
The agricultural committee In its
report declared that the minimum
price of wheat, corn, oats and barley
on the home market, in order to pay
the cost of production and six per
cent on the value of farm lands in
various states should be as follows:
Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma:
Wheat—$1.05, corn 70e, oats 45c
and barley 50c.
Illinois, Indiana and Missouri:
Wheat—$1.25, corn 65c, oats 50c,
and barley 50c.
Western slope states: Wheat 97c,
corn 90c, oats 50c and barley 50c.
The report was adopted.
C. S. Barrett of Union City, Ga.,
was re-elected president of the or-
ganisation.
The meeting in 1915 will be held
at San FranciBco. The place for
next year's convention has not been
selected but it was stated the meet-
ing probably would he held at Fort
iWorth^Xexas,
ing properties in Bosque county. The
deal involved the exchange of many
thousands of dollars and negotia-
tions had been in progress for some
time, but final transfer of the prop-
erties did not take place until yes-
terday morning.
The Martin is one of the finest
and best conducted hostelries in Cen-
tral Texas, and under the able man-
agement of H. L. Dailey has estab-
lished a standard of excellence of
which any hotel or any city could
be proud. The change of owners
will not effect the management of
the Martin in any way, as Mr. Dailey
has a longtime-lease on the property
and will continue as manager and
proprietor.
Mr. Kingsbury will move his fam-
ily here in the near future and will
occupy apartments in his new prop-
erty. As mayor of Morgan and prom-
inent in business and politics, Mr.
Kingsbury is widely known and en-
joys the highest respect and esteem
of who know him. Mr. and Mrs.
Kingsbury and their children will
prove' a splendid addition to Tem-
ple's social, religious and business
life.
Mr. Martin stated yesterday the
making of the deal did not mean
he would leave Temple, as he con-
sidered it too good a place to leave.
He will continue to travel as hereto-
fore and will retain the present
apartment at the hoteL It was his
intention, he said, to improve his
ranch property and build a fine
home on It sometime in the future,
and would probably use the house a
few months in every year as a sun-
mer residence.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 4.—"There
is nothing immoral in the slit skirt,
diaphanous gown, or any other from
of woman's gown. Extreme dress and
trim figures do not mean immorality
as some insist. One of the most vi-
cious epochs of society was when
hoop skirts were worn."
This statement was made today by
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw, of the
criminal court, when asked by per-
sons furthering a campaign against
extreme styles in women's dress, for
bis opinion of their cause. The cam-
paign is being conducted through
church and social organizations.
"The women of today," continued
Judge Latshaw, "have only one idea
in view—to dress in a manner that
appeals to men. Well, hasn't it al-
ways been such?"
"Why women and men should be
athamed of the most wonderful rca-
j chine that ever has been made and
why women should be called immod-
est If she allows any part of that
machine except her hands and face to
be seen is a question without an

ered Immodest for a woman to ar-

PROPERTY DAMAGE LARGE.
At Washington, North Carolina, the
Loss is Estimated at $3,UOO,IK)0.
Washington, North Carolina, Sept.
4.—Damage estimated at more than
|3,000,000 was done here and in
Beaufort county yesterday by a de-
structive hurricane. Until tonight
this section was cut off from commu-
nication, every telegraph and tele- '
phone wire having been down.
A deluge of rain accompanied the
wind, and the Pamlico river over-
flowed its banks, inundating a large
portion of the business and manu-
facturing district here.
Manu factories along the water
front were completely destroyed.
Shipping suffered heavy damage. No
loss of life has been reported.
At Newbern several streets were
inundated and thoroughfares were
lined with debris. The damage in
that city alone probably will exceed
$500,000. To add to the terror ot
the citizens, fire broke out during the
tempest and was controlled with dif-
ficulty.
In Aurora, fifteen houses were de-
stroyed, while af Vandemere the
damage was heavy, one firm alone
declaring its loss to be at least $40,-
000. In this city more than 200
cattle and hogs were drowned and
tonight their carcasses are lying In
the streets, a serious menace to the
public health.
Throughout Eastern North Caro-
lina, growing crops are virtually a
total loss and estimates of the de-
vastating effects of the wind and
rain cannot be made tonight.
