NO CLUBS IN TII1C FRANK CASK. Grund Jury duthie to Transform llu ntora Into Tangible Facts. Marietta. Ga., Sept. 2.-The Cobb county grand jury, investigating the lynching of l/eo M. Frank near .Ma ri?! ta, reported late to-day that "We have found several clues, but we nave been unable to Und any one who cou!.! Identify any party. We have done our best, under our oath, and we regret to state that we lia ve been unable to find enough evidence to indict any one for this crime." After it is stated thal the jury had the active co-operation of Governor Nat E. Harris, the State Attorney General, Solicitor Her!;; ;-; clay and other officials of Cobb county, the report says: "We have been unable to connect anybody with the perpetration of this offense, or to identify any one who was connected with if, although we have investigated the information furnished us by officers and other parties and have followed up letters, signed and unsigned, and to this end we have subpoenaed and examined many witnesses in an effort to dis close the perpetrators of this crime, but none of these witnesses could identify any of the parties. "Wo find, from investigation, that the officers of tho law and the citi zens of our town and county knew nothing of this crime until they heard of the body being found near Frey's gin. in this county. Tho city of Marietta and the county of Cobb were quiet before this trouble, are quiet now, and all reports to tho con trary are untrue." Upwards of !i.~> witnesses were ex amined yesterday and to-day. They included the chief of police and other citizens of Atlanta and individuals in every walk of life in Marietta. Anonymous letters, referred to in the report, still are being ??oct?iV??<1 by officials of Cobb county and oth ers, but the tendency now is to ig nore them.

Kif teen persons aboard the ship are ill. and the health officers of the port have taken extraordinary precautions because the symptoms resemble those of Asiatic cholera.

Por months past she had been used as an asylum for German refu gees who left their bornes in the far East on account of the war with Ja pan and are on their way back to Germany, lt was believed that the germs of the disease, whatever it may lie, were brought here by some of these refugees. Thirty-seven Ger man subjects are now on board, be sides 150 members of the crew. When the situation was reported yesterday to Surgeon General Rupert Hine at Washington, he authorized an inspection of the President Lin coln and ordered that developments be reported to him.

A VIO A H ACO AND-NOW. ?J. ?j? ?j? ?j? ?|? ?|? ?|? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?|? ?j* t Atlanta Constitution. ) Looking hack just one year, the South lias every reason to congratu late itself upon the revolution which hus taken place in conditions sur rounding the market for cotton and, logically, therefore, as to those re lating io business generally. One year ago brought the end of the ll rot month of the European war. The stock and cotton exchanges were closed, the financial world had been stampeded and business generally was in chaos. Cotton which little more than a month before had been selling at 1 1 cents or more, dropped suddenly to almost half the price. in the beginning of this financial cataclysm the South was floundering, knowing not where to turn. The cotton States were pictured as stand ing upon the curbstone with hat in hand, in the humiliating attitude of beggary, destitution and desolation. The most dire predictions were made upon the basis that exportations of cotton to .Europe were at an end. Business in every line was affect ed; buying was cut to a minimum: traveling men remained at home; mills, shops and factories of all sorts curtailed their output and reduced their forces; railroads laid off their hands hy the thousand, and the South throughout its length and breadth was reduced lo :.. basis of economy such as it had scarcely known before even in panic periods. What really happened was, as gradual readjustment cann- about, that we shipped approximately as much cotton as during the year be fore, and with every business settled upon the basis of rock bottom econ omy, conditions began slowly but substantially to improve. Providence came to the rescue tts lt often does, assisting even well in tentioned crop curtailment, so that to-day we have a crop of something like 4,000,000 bales less than that of 1914. This crop difference practi cally equalizes the surplus carried over from last year, and to-day our cotton is selling at above 1) cents. Never in the history of the South has a crop of cotton been raised as cheaply as that of 1915. Fertilizer expense was reduced 40 lier cent or more; labor and implements and mules, and, In fact, everything that tenters into the makin?; of tbo "ron cost less 'ban o rd it. ,ir?l?\ If Hie situation were ll g un il out In j ; m eura te and ultimate ?!. .., \ it ! would unquestionably no found ttoit j ! 1 M i ."> cotton at ll .'Ills ?S h" ll lug :t better net result than the 11-CenI rate existing just before the declara-1 lion of war when we were picturing just ahead one of the most prosper- ! ons winters the South bad ever known. And readjustment has brought us to this very gratifying basis, not withstanding the IB ri tish contraband i order whose removal. If achieved, I would still further strengthen the market .ind givo us the most remun erative crop we have known in years. I Bven under adverse conditions we ' have achieved restoration. We are ! back to-day at the point where, thir- ' teen months ago, we were looking | forward to the best and biggest busi ness .season In our history. Its com ing was delayed hy a year: it Is be fore us now. Conditions are ripe for as active and prosperous a fall and winter as business could wish or demand. It will- be ours to the full extent that we make it so. We should get ready I Tor it and help build. Our success, i already full of promise, will be the great) r in fulfillment as we work to hack it up. Will Oppose Nicholls Next Year. Greenville, Sept. 1.-Col. Alvin H. ?

"If I van live happily among the blacks," she said, "if 1 can love them as I love the people of my own race, then I will know that oar dream or brotherhood for all raees may como true.*' A Dreamer'}) Mistake. (Colombia Record.) We are told in the press dispatches that Florence Macfarlane, a delegate from England to something or other holding a convention in San Francis co, will go among the negroes "to test the practicability of universa? brotherhood." You've got the wrong lest, Flor ence, child. You may provo some thing by your experiment, but it iy. what everybody else now must know that yon are light in the top story. Even the black man will laugh at. you. Universal brotherhood doesn't mean social equality, or equality in tile .sharing of all things of lifo. It that were the case, (here would bo not liing to stri\o for. There can be a brotherhood, ?ind it will be established and maintained il such as Florence attend to their own business, which ?it thia limo would appear to be in the giving of help to British soldiers rather than in the philosophical discussions of things of which she is as ignorant tts a Hottentot is of the North Polo. The white people will pass you up. Florence, and the black man wilt speak of you as "po' white trash," for all of your meddling. Brotherhood means the opposit/ of hate; it means kindliness, con sideration, respect, but not miscegen ation. Thc cause of hate and tho breaking down of all morals would be a world-wide forgetting of race lines, race standards, race history, race ideals.
