Trade In Hardware and Machinery
Active With Favorable'' Prospects.
Activity in the Iron and Steel Industry.
The Tradesman this week states
that reports from various points in
the south show that the trade In
hardware, machinery, etc., is active,
with favorable prospects. As.- the
year's crops are harvested the yield
shows up better than the predictions
seemed to warrant, and more money
is coming into this section from its
agricultural interests than had been
anticipated. In the farming districts
there is a decided movement toward
securing the best modern implements,
especially such as will save labor and
at the same time expedite operations
In planting, cultivating and harvest
ing. The southern farmers are bet
ter able to make such investments
than they ever were before, and the
trade is reaping the benefits of these
improved conditions. In cane and cot
ton harvesting machinery it Is espe
cially noticeable that there is great
improvement in the methods of hand
ling the crops, manufacturers are
finding that nothing they offer is any
too good for the modern agriculturist
in the south. But it must be effective
and practical in order to meet with
the approval of the farmers - who,
President's Policy of Economy . Will
'Make Itself Most Felt in' These
Two, Departments, it is Said-
Strength of the Standing Army
Will be Cut Economy in the Navy,
(By Leased Wire to The Times)
Washington, Sept. 20 Officials of
the war and navy departments have
made it clear in the last few days
that President Taft's policy of econ
omy in public expenditures will make
itself manifest most pronouncedly in
these two departments.
it Is known that there is to be a
decided cut in the strength of the
standing army, and there will like
wise be a retrenchment in the navy.
The reduction in the standing army
can be made without seriously af
fecting the fighting force of Uncle
Sam, because, under the general law;
the state militia can be called into
service at any time it should be need
ed. Of course, army officers do not
enthuse over the president's sugges
uon mat tne lighting force be re
duced by 10,000, for it will naturally
have its influence oh the personnel of
the army. But the word has gone
forth that there must be a curtail
ment in government expenditure and

Iron and Steel Markets.
Reviewing the iron and steel mar
kets of the south this week
Tradesman says:
Acting Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Winthrop, now on a western
tour of inspection, is looking Into the
conditions at navy yards with a view
of bringing about the consolidation,

saving of many hundreds of thous-

Great Britain's. At
present Germany is a close second
with Uncle Sam.
It is said that some of the older
naval officers believe it would be
j wise to go slow in the matter of
j building ships in view of the ad-
, vances made by inventors who, in re
cent years, have bent their energies
towards creating devices to lessen the
dangers of war. The aeroplane is
considered by naval officers a more
dangerous enemy to a Dreadnought
that a submarine. They say that,
while the aeroplane may be said to
bo still in its infancy, yet the de
monstrations even so far made clearly
point to a perfected machine In the
near future that might be able to
annihilate an entire navy. It is the
general opinion that the aeroplane is
destined to prove a most dangerous
fighting machine, and this opinion
will undoubtedly have weight with
congress when the naval budget
comes up for consideration next win
ter. This makes it evident that Presi
dent Taft can easily carry out his
men w!,ll be added to the forces at rank next t0
tne ore mines ana aaaitionai mines
are to be opened wherever necessary.
The belief is expressed that southern
furnaces, no matter how many of
them are blown in, will witness a
hesitation in the active operation be
cause of the raw material supplies
for some time to come. The month
of September should see three blast
iron furnaces blown in, while the
southern territory should have no
less than seven furnaces started up
within that period commencing Sep
tember 10th and December 31st,
1909. Repairing work is going on
at no less than ten furnaces in the
south. Seven of them should be com
pleted and the torch applfed before
the end of the year. The month of
October will be a most Interesting
month for the section inasmuch as It
ls believed that practically a maxi
mum quotation for pig iron will have
been fixed for iron. But little atten
tion is being given to reports of im
portations of German irons. A min
imum of $14.50 per ton, No. 2 found
dry, is almost assured before the end
of the month.

J .K. Pegram, who Is representing
the old colored man. Nelson Turner,
father of the boy who was killed two
weeks ago by a Greensboro guard,
has been up in Guilford making an
investigation of the shooting.
Mr. Pegram comes back in, the be
lief that Guard Coble is guilty of de
liberately killing his man. He says
he has testimony that Coble said af
ter shooting Turner: "I arm going to
shoot every convict that tries to run
and start ine a d d graveyard of
my own."
The young lawyer has not indicat
ed that he will bring suit against the
county, but Nelson Turner has done
it. Mr. Pegram says there was gross
negligence in the preparation of the
corpse for burialY that it was put in a
coffin far too short, and that it bad
to be stuffed in to make the fit. The
