Washington, Jan. 1.--"President Wilson and other high government of cials in close touch with , the presi-, ent know every circumstance con ected with the leaks that played hob ith the stock market and they can check up to a certainty every state ment I have made in respect to them," declared Thomas W. Lawson, of Bos ton, as he stopped from an afternoon tramn at the uni'en station today. Lawson had come to Washmngton with the expressed intention of re. miaining until something definite is (lone with t-egard to the p rop~osed in vestigation of the recent leak of con fdntial information on international r~~rs which had occasioneel th* ' on Decembei G, ,--. lconfr '.e rrov ..toin; with hairman Im:: .' , h>a;e ittee on r ule.

Lawson is most pessimistic in his expressions with regard to the future trend of the stock list. Referring to his promise of another sensation he said: "The next leak will happen in three weeks and will bring financial ruin to thousands. It will tumble stocks until all are dlizzy from the fall." Lawson declined to explain the matter of the leak he promised for holidagr week which failed to nmateria lize. Perhaps I was pointing myr ar tillery too low," he aamittedl, with a wink.

The coming season is going to be one in which sport goods will take precedence over almost all other ma terials. Sport stripes for skirts, sport stripes in combinations with plain goods for suits and dresses, the loud er the 'stripe or plaid and the more colors combined the higher. the favor in which it will be held. For dresses and waists, voile will be the best selection. Plain, printed woven and embroidered voiles. All white of fancy stripe and plaid voiles. Polka dots of enormous size will be a craze. Some combining as many as four different colors. The separate skirt is to enjoy un usual popularity. Materials for these are gabardines in p:ain and fancy woven effects; all white, white with hair line in colors; white large woven polka dots, and white with enormous bias plaids in different shades. Bed ford cords in colors and white Will be much used, also Palm Beach skirting in white with every known color. stripe. Washable silks in sport stripes will be among the popular things used. .These come also in the plain effects, which may be used in connection with the stripes. In the more fancy goods for dresses are the silk stripe voiles in large. flowered effects and very decided plaids. Silk Marquisettes both plain and printed in stripes or dresden fig ures; organdies in both white and col ors; woven striped voiles with em broidered designs i colors; fine ma dras and. flaxons in both woven and printed effects. The colors to be n:ost used aside from the staple colors of the past season are, a wonderful French grey, Maise Coral, new rose, lavender and Limoges. _0 How It Is Down in the South. Down in North Carolina in the hill country Spear & Co.'s catalogue is the guide, preceptor and authority on all subjects. A certain North Caro lina Justice of Peace opened his court one morning ith three negro prisoners before the bar. He sat down behind a pine top table, tilted back his hickory chair, expectorated in a nail keg and ' n ed the audi ence that the court s. aady to pro ceed. Calling the prisoner o the front he reached up to an old shelf behind, and took down his copy of Spears cata logue, and placed it before him. Calling the first prisoner he de manded his offense. The evidence be ing strong, the negro admitted "he stole the chickens." The magistrate opened up th catalogue, advising that he would now consult the law and the statutes. "How old are you niggah?" said he. "Ise twenty-two," replied the prisoner. The judge commenced turning the pages until he had turned twenty-two, when he stopped and on the page before him was listed a sewing ma chine at sixteen dollars. "This is a serious offense," said the judge, "the prisoner is guilty and I fine him $16 and sixteen days in jail, call the next case." The second negro admitted he'd been caught in a game of craps, but he wouldn't "do it no mo." How old is you niggah?" said the judge, opening the catalogue at a new place, "Ise jes bout twenty-five ah reckon jedge." Counting over twenty-five gages the judge spread the book be ,ore him and there staring him in'the face was a big red cream separator listed at $27.00. "Niggah, you're a bad case an' I'm going to break up (is coon gamblin' right heah; the law and. the statutes herein p~rovidled says that you shall be fined twenty-seven dollars and go to jail for twenty sevcn danys. Mr. Sheriff, call de nex' ease." The third andl last negro was up for selling moonshine whiskey and had been "caught with the goods." The judge heard the evidence pro and con, and then demiandled the ne gro's age. "Jes come fohty-two, youah Hlonah." Turning the pages again from the newly opened cata logue, the judge counted slowly until he hadl reached forty-one, the prisoner anxiously watching him and the book althetime Recognizing the pages, hebrokei in, "F -.tr God jedge, doan, turn dlat n.'x' -.:No on me, youse comin' to ' ,i'te~-rhim Qection." andl deve - ~ : . .. &il ;. n .n; sweeping his store about once a week; -allowving his goods to become shelf worn andl covered with (lust andl dirt --sitting dowvn and' waiting for cus tomers--will soon be ;ost in the shhufme, while his enterp~rising comn petitor wins the business.

I had ter rible headaches, and pains in my back, etc. It seemed as i I would 'die, I suffered so. At last, I decided to try Cardui, the woman's tonic, and it helped me rt1ht away. The full treatment nest only helped. me, but it cured me." TARE K ardul The Women's Tonic Cardul helps women In time of greatest need, because it contains ingredients which act specifically, yet gently, on the weakened womanly organs. So, if you feel discouraged, blue, out-of-sorts. unable to do your household work, on account of your condition, stop worrying and give Cardul a trial. It has helped thousands of women -why not you? Try Cardui. E-71 lated and induced to buy better grades of goods that will yield a bet ter profit. Two or three well dressed young men and young ladies in a neighbor hood will be a strong drawing card for others to follow their example, and soon everybody will get the habit of buying better grades of merchan disc in all lines, and this will bring prosperity to the retail merchant. The retail merchant is vitally in terested in every phase of life in his community, and in helying others to improve their condition he is helping himself immeasurably. The retail merchant is regarded as the leaver among his people, and if he attains the success that is within his reach, he must be the pioneer in enterprise, development and co-opera tion. -o To Secure the Nitrogen Plant. Columbia, Jan. 1.-Having secured the federal land banK for this dis trict, Columbia, with the aid of var ious interests throughout the state, is now planning an earnest effort to secure the government nitrogen fixa tion plant, provided for in the Smith bill passed at the last sesion of con gress. A mass meeting of the chamber of commerce will be held in the chain ber of commerce tomorrow night, at 8 o'clock, to consider ways and means to suplement the work of the special committee, which has been urging the claims of Columbia and of this state. This special committee is composed of Messrs. Edmund A. Felder, T. B. Stackbouse, Gadsden Shand, T. C. Williams and B. R. Cooner, and the board of directors of tae local chain ber of commerce have been added to the committee. The appropriation by congress for the establishment of a plant or plants for the manufacture of nitric acid for. munitions and fertilizers, is $20,000, 000. One or more plants may be es tablished under the bill, as ma y be dleemedl advisable by taie national au thorities. Columbia's princi;:al competitors are Muscle Shoals, iin northern Ala bama, on the Tennessee line; Keokuk, Iowa; St. Paul, Minn; a number of; other points in the central wvest and on the Pacific coast, and Apgusta, Ga. "Taking into consideration our river navigation andl thie water haul from Charleston or Wi~mington," said chairman Felder, of the special com mittee, today, "we have a tremendous adlvantage in the matter of the dis tribuition of the fertilizer product, as c - - readiily be seen by a glance at the which the Muscle Shoals p~eople out out, andl which is really a ~gument for the location at Co .c ., of the plant esp~ecially con Steti for the manuafacture -of .senator E. D. Smith recently had an interview with President Wilson, who wvill finally dleternune the loca tion of the plant or plants, and the presidlent exp~ressed himself in favor of one plant to supply the peace-time and wvar-time requiremients of the army and navy; one plant for the in (ustrial arts, which consume enor mous amounts of nitric acidl, andl a third plant for the great agricultural interests, for which fertilizers high in nitrogen are most needled. "We feel that Columbia is the log ical point for the location of the fer tilizer plant.' All the raw materia's required for the constructioni of a plant can be found right on the spot; we have narrow valleys, making an early completion posible; we have splendid supples of calcium carbon ate on the banks ot the Santee river, within water haul of Columbia-all these things giving us an immense adivantage o-ver other points. "The government engineers and ordnance experts," continued Mr. Fel dler, "have determined the minimum aimount of nitric acid necessary to conduct a war, a'nd they plact it as the product of 1'00 000 horse--power. In the evet- of war It would be possible conqenttrate at Columlyia electric r *er-aggregating far more -than 1,000 horse-power byutilizing .the tributary.. poers :of the Catawba, Wateree ad Savannah rivers, and. at the same time still ianufadture limo nitrate ihe:idei' to grow the .cotton an4. 4ox ros which, this eetJn wottdbcad ont to Iroduce, e, ed t in t E ha d~ ni t should be as thoroughly prepared for war as the army and navy. Cotton is very largely used in the manufac . ture of .high explosives and to clothe' the armies in the field as well as the people of the whole country. If %the cotton yield were to suffer through lack of nitrogen for fertilizers, it would have a very damaging effect on the general 'efficiency of the country, either during a time of peace or of war. The committee 'and the board of directors of the chamber of coni merce feel that. with cheaper nitrates suplied to the farm ra of the country, the agricultural yields will go up by leaps and bounds, and that much land which it is imprcticanle to cultivate profitably at present, because of lack of nitrogen, can be brought under successful cultivation. It is estimate . that it will be possible to supply lime nitrate to farmers for less than $20 a ton, while nitrate of soda is now selling for more than '$60 per ton." Columbia will make a determined effort, with the backing of the entire state. Senator E. D. Smith has been invited to atend the meeting tomor row night. SEI:ES COAL AND GIVES IT TO POOR Des Moines, Iowa, Dec. 31.-Under cover of darkness John Macvicar, mayor, last night seized the third car of coal in. his effort to check the local fuel famine. The coal was distribut ed to the poor by firemen and police men. Charges of illegal combination to control prices have been made in a suit filed here against fifteen local dealers by an attorney on behalf of the public. - o PLEASED WITH YEAR'S WORK Kaiser Addresses Men of Army and Navy.

Prelates and Laymen Oppose Early - Move to End War. Washington, Dec. CL--In a signed document addressed "o the nation. more than 50 prelates and laymen, of various denominations representing many sections of the country, have united in .a warning against what they declare may >e a premature peace in Europe, whichh " may bring a curse instead of a blessing."
