WILL NOT INDULGE fN RETURN ABUSE Union Has No Controversy With Southern Asso ciation. ( Charles 8. Barrett, president of the Farmers' Union, has responded to the recent article written and signed by Harvie Jordan, president of The Cot ton Journal, In that periodical of the current Issue. Mr. Barrett atates that he had In tended no further controversy with Mr. Jordan, but that, the criticisms of himself and of State President Duck worth by Mr. Jordan left him no choice but to state his position. In his answer President Barrett calls upon Harvie Jordan to explain why Thomas E. Watson was “frozen out" of the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association. He asks whether Mr. Jordan had this done or allowed it. The text of Mr. Barrett's card follows: To the Public: I had not Intended engaging in any further controversy with Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of the Cotton Asso ciation, hut In passing through Atlunta today, I find In the current Issue of The Cotton Journul nn entire page devoted to a very abusive criticism of me and Mr. Duckworth, president of the State Farmers' Union. As It Is evidently the purpose of Mr. .Iordan In this long an# unfair com munication to place upon me and upon Mr. Duckworth the onus of stirring up strife between the Farmers' Union and the Cotton Association, I ask your In dulgence for a brief statement of my position, which, I suppose, Is also that of Mr. Duckworth. There was not at any time, and there is nut now, any personal animus on my part inward Mr. Jordan in any per sonal way. As the president of the National Farmers' Co-operative Union, ) foil bound to take Issue with Mr. Jordan upon the statement credited to hint In his i■ .ini capacity, which, I '■m sure, iv. .1 net harmfully upon the interests of tho farmers generally, and more particularly upon the lntor- csts of the present crop of cotton In the cotton belt. I was also requested by the stute meeting of the Farmers' Fnhm in tho city of Atlanta to reply to those expressions quoted from Mr. Jor dan In New York, and I acted In ac- urdance with that request. It was neither my desire to abuse Mr. Jordan nor to pIrco the Farmres' Union in an tagonism to the Cotton Association, but simply to correct a statement credited to hint which I felt, and which the state meeting felt, nould be Injurious "> our common In sts. If I had not done so 1 would e'been untrue to die Farmers’ Union, which 1 represent, and to the state meeting, whose wishes i complied with In this matter, Jordan’s Discourtesy. I shall not bo .tempted by the dls- lottrteous and disrespectful allusion of Mr. Jordan to any reciprocal abuse. Mr. Jordun discourteously alludes to me as "coming up from obscurity” into my present position, and I can only congratulate him on the' sudden and stately sweep from agricultural corre spondent of a weekly paper to the pres idency of the Cotton Association. Mr. Jordan also deems me too Insignificant io reply to one or two Important ques tions which I propounded to him In tho interest of our general agricultural prosperity, anti I can only regret that " the president of an organisation of :"pi,o«u, I have not been able to elicit a 1 Tectful reply from the president of in organisation which I have heard not Include but a small percent of "'ual farmers, and there are many people who believe that Mr. Jordon ipniKlnes that It consists of only one 1‘erhaps, however Insignificant as Mr. Iordan may deem both me and tho meat organisation which I represent, • may not be unwilling to answer n pertinent query from one of the most iistingulshed cltlsens of the state of p orgta. That Watson Matter. •he current Issue of The Jefter- ■ilan. published weekly by the Hon. i comas E. tVateon, of McDuffie coun- propounds to Mr. Jordan a,question ■ which the whole Farmers' Union ■ aid he glad to hear a reply. The 'instance of Mr. Watson’s question Is " ash President Jordan of the Cotton V' iatlon, why It was that If tho "Unn Association at New Orleans had mmtniously elected Mr. Watson to irltlon on the executive committee mit Mr. Jordan, upon the complaint Brown, the millionaire cotton spec- p.unr, promised the said Brown he •uld see to It that Mr. Watson .was "ic to retire, and that within a few ' oka afterward, by some publication a t some pressure, , which Is generally indited to Mr. Jordan, that Mr. Wat- l n a hlgh-sptrtted response, wlth- ' "W from the executive committee, I"' 1 Mr. Jordan accepted that wlth- rawal without even an expression of "Srrt for this great loss to the cotton “•■rests of the South, itiere are many thousands of tho • : mete’ Union who recall the mug- "oent tight which Mr. Watson made -'•'Inst the Jute Trust, in tho days pm both Mr. Jordan and myself worn ' utter obscurity.

The act of the general assembly of August 10. 1906, fixing the liquor tax of Irwin county at $20,000 Is constitu tional according to an opinion handed down Thursday by the supreme court ln the case of Glover vs. the state. T. S. Glover was tried before Judge Martin, of Irwin superior court, for selling liquor contrary to this act. Glover held a license issued by Fitz gerald, hut the act fixed one price— $20,000—for selling Intoxicants any where In the county. Glover attacked the law on the ground that It was prohibitive and unconstitu tional. He was convicted and fined, but carried the case to the Bupreme court, which has affirmed the verdict of the lower court. After the passage of the uct Gov ernor Terrell submitted It to Attorney General Hart, before signing It. Judge Hart hjld that the act was all right, and it was signed. Haygood & Cults, Candler, Thomson & Hlrsch and W. I. Heyward appoared as counsel for Glover. Tried to Hqld Willingham. The supreme court reversed Judge Rawlings' decision In the case of Dun away vs. Hodge from Washington county superior court. Matthew Wil lingham was tried and convicted of a misdemeanor. He was sentenced to twelve months in the chalngang or to pay a fine of $100. Willingham was given .only five days In which to pay his fine. At the expi ration of that time his representative, Dunaway, tendered payment of line with the costs, but It was refused, It being held that Willingham would have to serve out Ills sentence Without further option ln the matter, OO0Q0000000000CHJ00000O000D 0 0 FINE WEATHER FOR MAN 0 WITH SUMMER SUIT. 0 0 0 0 After all tho snmmer-llke 0 0 weather prevailing hereabouts 0 0 cannot be ascribed to the caloric 0 0 election up In New York, because 0 0 It continues aome days after the 0 0 voters have expressed their choice. 0 0 Whatever tho cause, It proves 0 0 mighty acceptable to fellows who O 0 haven't negotiated the winter ault 0 0 yet.

Both Fines Not Collectible. W. Gordon wa» tried In the city of Cordele for selling liquor and fined $500. The mayor decided to release him on payment of $100, the rest of the fine hanging over him. Its collec tion depending on his conduct. Later Gordon was re-arrested on the same charge, and an effort made to collect the $400 fine. Gordon resisted payment. The su preme court holds that while the char' ter of Cordele Is liberal, that any ah tempt to collect the suspended fine was Illegal. It Is stated that the old Eng lish "ticket of leave law" Is not opera tive here. Thrice Reverted, Now Affirmed Brought to the supreme court four times, reversed three times and the fourth time affirmed is the record in the case of Albert Youpg, colored, con victed In Baldwin county for murdering another negro, und sent up for life. Each time reversals were resultant and now trials given on imperfect rec ords. A. gun wadding played a big part In Young's conviction. A negro was assassinated in Baldwin county - jPPwf was found. When the charge was drawn from tho other barrel of.Young's gun It was wadded with the same kind of paper. This and a peculiar patch on one of his shoes formed mainly the evidence upon which he wes convicted. Attorney John R. Cooper, counsel for the Rawlins, was Young's lawyer. GRANDMOTHER CLAIMS BABY; FOSTER-FATHER WANTS HER A pretty little baby girl about 3 years of age formed the bone of contention in an Interesting controversy Thursday that resulted In an appeal to the police by the grandmother, who finally tri umphed and obtained custody of the child. Mrs. A. C. Maubrunt. of San Fran- cisco, came to Atlanta from her home two or three days ago to get the baby girl, her grandchild, who for the past two years and ten months has been cared for by John .J. Clark, a land scape gardener, and Ills wife, who re side at No. 1 Kennesaw avenue, near Ponce DeLeon park. The mother of the t hfid, who left it with Clark and his wife when it was but 1 month old, is not in the city. Clark, who declares the mother gave him the child, has been raising-It as though It were his own, and hus be come greatly atached to-it. When the grandmother appeare<l on * c *" e and demanded tho little girl, Clark re fused to port with her. Mrs. Maubrunt then visited the po lice station Thursday morning and had a conference with Probation Officer Gloer In regard to the matter. Mr. Gloer Informed her that the police had no Jurisdiction, hut advised her to see u lawyer and take legal steps. In the meantime, Clark was asked to come to the office of Chief Jennings, which ho did. After a conference there, Clark finally agreed to give up the child, on condition Mrs. Maubrant would pay him for his expense and trouble. He made out an Itemized bill amounting to 3378. He said that for a time after he took the child he was paid $10 a month for his trouble and $2 a mofith for the support of the child. He fixed the balance due him at $373. He said that If Mrs. Maubrant would pay him this amount and go with him to his home he would turn tho little girl over to her. Chief Jennings then directed Call Officer Chandler to ac company Mrs. Maubrant and see that she got the child. Clark atates that the child was born at 143 Ponce DeLeon avenue, then the home of Mrs. John Murray, who Is now In Macon. Habeas corpus proceedings were used finally before the grandmother secured the child. ■it i Can Jordan Explain? t Mr. Jordan still considers mo too "ure and my official position too ' "•.nlfirant to entitle me to an answer to this important query, perhaps at the urgent request of Thomas E. \\ atson lie will explain to the people why such Incorruptible anil brilliant service was voluntarily dispensed with. Did Mr. Jordan have this clone or did he allow it? That is the question. For the rest, we have no controversy with Mr. Jordan and no disagreement with the association. We are willing and even anxious at all times to work in harmony with the Cotton Associa tion and all organizations that look 1° the Interest of the farmer and the wel fare of our great cereal and staple crop. When we think Mr. Jordan Is rt&W nnd Ids counselors are right, we will "pat them on the back and folio'' them or go with them In »U wise way* of trade. But when we think lie Is wrong, as we know he was wrong In the remarks that have been quoted, we shall not hesitate to take Issue with him and to point the Immensely larger number of farmers which we represent to the pathways which we believe to be right. If we did not do this we would be untrue to ouiselves; ! would be untrue to myself and to the great hod? over whi"h I have been railed to r>, The ll posltlon which I took III my first article has lieen abundantly vindicated by the subsequent events and by Mr. Jordan's complete change of front.

COUNTESS DE CASTELLANE SHIELDS NAME OF WOMEN Washington, Nov. $.—Secretary Hitchcock, of the Interior dephrtment, voluntarily retires from public life, und will be succeeded on March 4, next, by James K. Garfield, commissioner of the general mnd office, also will resign March 4. His successor has not been decided upon, but It Is expected that Herbert Knhx Smith will be named to succed him. Mr. Hitchcock has for some time felt that the exhausting work he has been engaged in for over eight years In the Interior department was wearing on him so as to make It Impossible for him to longer remain. "The president urge.I him to accept the ambassadorship to France, hut Mr. Hltrhcock felt that he was entitled to absolute rest, and »JS obliged to re fuse the offer. New York, Nov. 8.—The latest re turns received from,, unofficial sources Indicate that all of the Democratic candidates for offices on the state tick et, with the exception of Mr. Hearst, have been elected. Mr. Hughes’ plimtlity_ren>ained prge; Ifcaily "unchanged from figures given last night at 80,000. Ills leud was eh mined through the knifing of Hearst, which did not affect the rest of the Democratic ticket. The returns are unofficial, and It will be Impossible to say'definitely who has been elected from Chanter do\yn un til after the several boards of county canvassers'meet next Tuesday. Police Returns Higher. The police returns on the vote' of state officers are much higher than the returns gathered by the news as sociation, In some cases the difference being oe great ns 6,000 votes. In case the police returns are InaC' curate and the newspapers' figures more nearly correct, Bruce (Republi can), candidate for lieutenant gov ernor. may be successful, and Lewis, the Republican candidate for comp troller, also. The returns show that the lessons which have been given to tho voters In recent years on how to split their tick ets have been thoroughly understood. There appears to have been no difficul ty found by any voter, whether he had to deal with the voting machine or the paper ballot In making his desire plain. Doubt Over Bruce. The only thing the Republicans can be sure of now is that Mr. Hearst was defeated. At Republican headquarters It was stated that while the committee was not prepared to make nn otltrlnl statement, their estimate nn returns Is that Linn Bruce had been elected lieu tenant governor by a plurality of about 5,000; also, that Julius Mayer has been elected attorney general, but by a nar row margin. It was thought the remainder of the Republican ticket had been defeated, but this Is not conaeded. When It ap peared that pluralities far ahead of the Coler plurality of 123,000 for governor, had bqrn scored by ail the candidates but Hearst In Greater New York, the police devoted a good deal of attention to gelling In and tabulating the state ticket vote. Pluralities of Candidates. Hearst'a plurality is 76,950. while Oanler\s plurality over' Bruce for lleutcnnnt governor ln the Greater City In 139,385. For secretary of state Wha len’s plurality Is 142,032. Jackson, for attorney general, leads Mayer with 139,369. Glynn, for comptroller, runs 144,15> ahead of Lewis, while the Dem ocratic candidates for treasurer and engineer are 139,139 und 145,886, re spectively, ahead of tholr Republican opponents. The Hearst-Murphy Judiciary ticket In this county polled average plurali ties a little better than that of Mr. Hearst. The vote for supreme court Justices of the district showed the average plurality to be about 67,000. Justice Gelgerlch, why had the In dorsement of the judiciary committee, the Republicans nnd the Heurat-Mur-j phy combination, registered more Ilian 300,000 votes. J. J. Brady ran the lowest on the winning ticket, having only about 143,000. The average of the others was 188,000. Republican Bsatan Easily. For Judge of general sessions otto A. Rosalsky, who had both the Repub lican and Independence League luck ing. finished just about 30,000 ahead of FrandB R. McAvoy < Tammany). Thomaa G. H. Grain, another Hearst- Murphy nominee, had little difficulty in beating Itufus B. t'owing, who was the Republican candidate for re-election as Ity Judge. Grain had very nearly 200.000, with it plurality er about 64.000. Frank T. Fitzgerald, everybody's eun- didate for surrogate, polled more than 300.1*00 votes Decision in Famous Divorce Case To Be Made Thursday. . Paris. Nov. 8.—The desire of Count ess de Costellane that the names of the women who were her husband’s companions be kept a secret was granted today by the judge hearing her divorce suit against her husband. Tho court also announced that It would render a decision In the ease on Thursday. Count to Sse Children.' In the proceedings today Count Boni was made more ridiculous, If posible, than heretofore by the statement of his counsel that he had expected to In herit 800,000 franca from his father, while it la tt • -h1|.known fact .Hint the Marquis de Cnstellane supports him self by his writings. In presenting the countess’-side of the case yesterday, Maltre Cruppl stat ed that the de Castellans children will remain in France and that their father will have an opportunity to see them and take part In the direction of their education. Boni Wanted Debts Paid. The lawyer stated that the countess when she offered to settle 330,000 a year for life on Count Boni, waa actuated by un Impulse to assure a fitting exist' enco for the father of her children. Now, liow'ever, the countess stood up on her rights. Maltre Cruppl declared that tho count rejected his wife’s offer, and de> manded a full settlement by her of his outstanding debts. Khe offered to al low him $200,000 with which to pay ills debts. . Count Blames Lawyer. Maltre Bonnett, counsel for the count, protested ugalnst statements tending to show his client in the light of wife-boater. He declared the count hod always conducted himself as a gal lant gontleman, who entertained re spectful affection for his wife. He charged that Kdrnund Kelly American lawyer, had been respond hie for the dtvoivc JU'UOMIfitgx. II said Kelly desired to secure manage ment of the estates, and that It It had not been for the American lawyer tho countess would have 7 listened to tho count's supplications. HARRIMAN IS PLANNING TRANSCONTINENTAL LINE Control of Illinois Cen tral Gives Him the Needed Link. New York, Nov. 8.—That a desire to control u line of railroad connecting the Atluntic und Pacific seaboards was the motive which Inspired F. H. Harrlman to oust Btuvesant Fish as president nr the Illinois •C'cqtral and have J. T. Hurahun elected In his stead, seems ertaln. The realization of this plan puts 25,090 miles of road, capitalized at $1,700,000,000. under one control. Having gotten control of the Illinois Central, It appears that liarrlmnn has secured the necessary link which will complete a system from New York to Ban Francisco and Portland, Ore., from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lanes, and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific coast. Got Link in Baltimore and Ohio, It Is believed that Mr. Harrtman several weeks ago took the steps nec essary to secure an outlet to the At lantic seaboard for his .Southern Pa- clfie and Union Pacific, when one of the roads which he controls secured control of the Baltimore and Ohio by purchasing 40,000 shares of Baltimore and Ohio stock from the Pennsylvania road. The Baltimore and Ohio would give ilarrimun a line connecting Chicago and Ht. Louis with Baltimore and New York. The Illinois Central and a short connecting link was all that was nec essary for the formation of the groat trans-continental system. Letter Sent to Fieh. After Mr. Fish had been ousted at yesterday's meeting of the Illinois Gen tral directors, the eight directors who had voted for Harahan prepared and sent a loiter to Mr. Fish, In which they gave their reasons for voting against him. In Hits letter, which was signed by John \V. Auchlncloss, J. J. Astor, Rob ert Walton Ooelet, E. II. Harrlman, J. T. Harahan, Charles A. Peabody, W. Luttgen nnd Cornelius Vanderbilt, it was asserted that In June last, without consulting the other members of the board of directors, Mr. Fish Issued a circular to the stockholders requesting proxies for the annual election. Agreement It Charged. At the next meeting of the board, it was declared, Mr. Peabody offered a resolution that a committee of direct ors, including Messrs, Astor, Auehfn- closs, Goelet, Luttgen nnd Vanderbilt, be appointed to require proxies from stockholders for.the annual meeting. It was declared that Mr. Fish de feated such action by leaving the room amt breaking a quorum. The board then adjourned, and during the fol lowing weeks. It was declared, Messrs. Fish, l’eubody and Harrlman signed an agreement that tile successor to W. Morton Grlnnell be selected by a ma jority of the directors, that Mr. Pea body's resolution he withdrawn nnd not revived and that Mr. Harrtman asked that the Harrltnan-Kuhn-Loeb proxies be given to Mr. Fish. Mr. Fish, when he Imd read that portion -referring to an ntleged deal with Mr. Harahan, denied the truth fulness of the statement. Explosion Occurs Tunnel Near Pitts burg, Pa.
