GEORGIA OIL MILi_S MERGE. Trust Formisd Representing Twenty- Two Mills. Macon, Ga., August 28.—The inde pendent cotton seed oil mill owners of Georgia convened here and before an adjournment had been accomoUshed another combine was launched upon the commercial seas of the south. For s:ome time there has been quite an extensive correspondence among the cotton seed oil mill owners scat- terej throughout Georgia, the object of that correspondence being a con vention of those engaged in the trade. Finally a day and a place for meet- ^Vig were selected and in accordance with that selection the independent operators came together here. Twenty-seven towns, representing every section of Georgia, were here. Atlanta. Bainbridge, Quitman, Albany, Fort Gaines, Camilla, Mo'nte/.uma, Au- gusta, Columbus, Macon, Forsyth, Cor- dele, Vienna. Arlington and Savannah were among the cities who answered to the roll call. The session was behind closed doors and the greatest caution was ex ercised to prevent the object of the meeting from becoming known. It has developed, however, that during the session the current prices and mode of business of the mill owners present were fully and wholly aired. It has been ascertained, too, that, beiore an adjournment was reacheJ a schedule of prices by which every mill represented at the meeting wii be governed in the future. To this scale of prices it is said every one present subscribed, and' after the own ers return home the scal«» will be put into operation at once. This will kill cheap purchases b Teamsters on Strike. Seattle, Wash., August 31.—Six hun- dreij- teamsters have gone on a strike to enforce their demands for higher wages and a shorter work-day. BIG SUIT FILED AT CHARLESTON. Mrs. Boyes Begins Action for $50,000 Damages. Charleston, S. C., August 28.—In the United Sta»tes court here a suit for damages in the sum of $60,000 was filed by Mrs. Jane Stewart Boyesen against the White Stone I.ithia com pany. J. T. Harris, of Spartanburg; Df. J. B. Morgan of Augusta, Gm., and a Mr. Elliott, an employe of the White Stixie Hotel company. Several days ago a number of guests at the White Stone hotel had a lot of valuables stolen from them. An in vestigation was made and servanits of the hotel stated that they ha»di seen Mrs. Boyesen in the rooms of the guests. It soon became noised about the ho tel that Mrs. Boyes'en was suspected, and she packed her trunks and left for Spartanburg. She was followed by J. T. Harris, proprietor of the hotel, and her trunks were searched, but the missing arti cles were not recovered. Mrs. Boye sen claims she was held up as a com mon thief an'Ji her trunks searched by s-trange men on the charge of having robbed guests at the hotel, all of which 3he denies. She bases her claims for damages i-n the sum of $50,000 on the ground of personal humiliation and mortification to which she was submitted by such a charge being lodged against her, by having her privacy invaded by the ex amination of her personal baggage by unknown men. This, in connection with the high social standing which she claims to enjoy at her home and throughout the entire country, she feels can only be compensated by $50,000 from those who heaped such an indig nity upon her and injury to her char acter. The ca.‘!e was brought in the United States court for the reascn that Dr. J. B. Morgan, one of the defendants, is a Georgian. residing In Augusta. Both he and Mrs. Morgan were guests at White Stone when the robbery oc curred, and Mrs. Morgan, it is saivii. lost a number of valuable articles. Dr. Morgan accompanied Mr. Harris to Spartanburg when ^Irs. Boyesen’s bag gage was searched. Mrs. Boyesen is from Chicaro. She says she is highly connected, being the grand niece of the late Dr. L. C. Gar land. who for more than 20 years was dean of Vanderbilt university. She is a prominent club woman, be ing a member of ten or more societies. UNIQUE PENSION FRAUD.

And besides, I prefer talking face to face with the people to seeing them at long range through a newspaper. So don’t wait to see me in that way. There is no use for me to do so, but I will tell you that I have the best all-round general mer chandise store in Brevard; and those who don’t already know it can find out by looking through my store. ^Nfy lines—including Dry Goods, Groceries, Shoes, Clothing and otiiers—are strong; and from the amount of business done my })rices must be low.

Whitmire has just received the largest line of tnen’s. women’s atid ciiildren’s Shoes ever in Brevard, and the prices are 20 per cent, cheaper considering quality than any other shoes in town. These shoes are bought direct from the factory, and every pair guaranteed. My Clothing was bought the same way—direct from the factory—and I have some of the nicest and most stylish patterns in the city. My line of Negligee Shirts and Neckwear are simply out of sight. When it comes to dressing a ^>:en- tleman from head to toe ;ind in the swellest of style no one in Brevard can do this but myself, and this i.s tiie way I do it: First thing is a silk finished undershirt with double elastic seams; Scrivin’s drawers; next is that pretty little low collar and midf^et tie with the 20th century link cuffs and buttons; then I follow that up with a suit of the Kantbebeat brand of clothing, which is the most swell line in town; then comes the great Manss pat. cult blucher shoe, the ])rettiest thing ever seen in Brevard, and every pair guaranteed; the last and best of all is for the head, and that is a John B. Stetson hat in the latest shape. If you will tell me what more it takes to dress a man I will buy it. Ah! I foi’^^ot to put any socks on my man, but it is not because I haven’t got them. I have them, and the very nicest in town. My dry goods and grocery trade is good enough. Come and see me. T. W. WHITMIRE 1, 2, 3 Cooper Block, Main and Broad Sts.
