DECISION IS WANTED
ON DEPOT QUESTION
Governor Candler has written a letter to
President Samuel Spencer, of the South
ern railway, asking him to give hia decis
ion regarding the proposed new depot for
Atlanta.
President Spencer saw the plans of Ar
chitect Gilbert some time ago, but Gov
ernor Candler has heard nothing direct
from him. The governor Is anxious to And
out the decision of the Southern regarding
the plans, as he desires, if the Southern
accepts, to proceed at once with the work.
The Southern railway has been the
stumbling block in the way of a new de
pot since the passage of the depot bill by
the house at the last session of the leg
islature. President Spencer announced at
a meeting held here in February that If
satisfactory plans could be shown him he
would be glad to accept the state's propo
sition. The plans of Mr. Gilbert met with
the approval of the property owners in
Atlanta and President J. W. Thomas, of
the Nashville. Chattanooga and St. Louis,
and General Manager T. K. Scott, of the
Georgia railroad, but as yet President
Spencer has not.been heard from. •
President Spencer Is now in Savannah,
and has not recqjved the letter of Gov
ernor Candler which was written. Govern
or Candler, however, is hoping for an an

KILLEdTuMSELF AFTER
2 YEARS’ DELIBERATION
CHARLOTTE. N. C., May story
of a suicide after two years’ deliberation
over the question of self-destruction
comes from Laurinburg, N. C.. th© vic
tim, a farmer named Alex Lytch, blowing
the top of his head off with a shotgun.
Lytch went to Laurinburg Saturday, and
just before leaving for his home he pur
chased a few gun shells loaded with No.
4 shot.
Upon arriving at home he ate dinner
as usual and then went out, locked up his
barn and began to get things in order.
After attending to these outside matters
he went to his, room and removed the
greater part of his furniture, his trunk
and other articles, and then undressed
himself and sat on the bed. He -then put
the muzxle of the gun to his forehead and
with his toe pulled the trigger. When
found his eyes and the entire front part
of his head were blown off.
This Is the plausible theory as to how
the unfortunate man came to his death,
all of which was fully substantiated by a
note he left behind. In this note was a
statement that he did not wish any one
to think that the act was rash and
thoughtless. On the contrary, he said that
he had had the subject of self-destruction
under consideration for two years; that,
on account of his aged mother, Jie had
fought against it and resisted it for these
long two years, but the time had come
when he could resist it no longer. He also
stated the disposition he wished made of
his watch, gun and other articles, speci
fied the kind of clothes he wished to be
buried In and stated that he wanted his
funeral preached Sunday afternoon by
Rev. F. M. Shamburger, of Rockingham,
who was formerly pastor oi the Methodist
church here. In the light of these facts,
the coroner did not deem an Inquest nec
essary.
COLUMBIAN TROOPS GO
TO BATTLE WITH REBELS
PANAMA, Colombia, May 21.-The gov
ernment forces began to leave Panama at
5 o'clock yesterday morning. In all about
2,000 men under the command of Generals
Amaya and Salazar will proceed against
the Insurgents. Before he left the city,
General Salazar said:
"I intend to attack the rebels Immediate
ly. I expect to receive within the next
eight days reinforcements of 3,000 men un
der the cootmand of General Panpillo
Gutletrox, who will co-operate with the
troops leaving Panama today.
"The rebel general Herrera and his
forces will be attacked by over 5,000 of the
best soldiers in the republic, as well as
by a fleet. His resistance can be but fu
tile. The government has been victorious
in the interior of the public' and it can
send, if necessary. 10.000 more then to end
the revolution on the Isthmus."
Fifteen thousand government soldiers
remain In Panama to protect jhe city. The
soldiers who arrived here Monday are
part of the army which recently defeated
General Uribe-Uribe.
RAINS WERE BENEFICIAL
TO CROPS OVER STATE
The rains which occurred last week were
very beneficial to the crops all over the state.
Only a few counties in the northern and middle
sections are suffering from lack of moisture.
The crop report for the week ending Tuesday
is quite favorable. Cotton chopping has begun
tn the north, is well advanced in the central
sections and is almost completed in the south.
The cotton crop on the whole is regarded as
making very favorable progress.
I Oats have been very much benefited by the
recent rains. A short yield Is expected, how
ever. on atcount of the preceding dry weather.
The corn crop Is doing well. Complaint of shed
tng of peaches, blighting of pears, plums and
apples has been general. These crops may not
be so large as It was first thought they would

LABORLEADERS
IN SESSION
TODAY
MANY REPORTS ARE BEING DIS
CUSSED BUT NO FINAL AC
TION HAS BEEN TAKEN BY
THE COMMITTEES.
/
WILKESBARRE. Pa.. May 21,-The
three executive committees of the Uni
ted Mine Workers of America today be
gan their first formal session since the
great coal strike was inaugurated. This
was the same bodj> that was organized
two weeks ago and decided on the sus
pension. The object of the meeting is to
go over the entire situation and outline
and adopt new lines of campaign that
may be found necessary.
The most important matter for consid
eration is the proposition to call out the
engineers, firemen and'pump men. This
is looked upon by the mine workers' ofti
.clals as an extreme measure and it will
be carefully considered before the step
ig taken. They do not care to antago
nize the mine owners any more than is
necessary. Some of the mine officials
still have hopes of an amicable settlement
and they do not think It wise to anger the
mine owners by withdrawing these men
and Endangering the safety of their prop
erty. From a talk with several of the
committeemen, it seems likely that the
protectors of the mines will not be called
out for the present. If the miners' union
declines to call out the men and succeed
In getting them to quit, the mine owners
will make every effort to fill their places.
It is said that some of the operators, an
ticipating the union, have made all ar
rangements to keep their pumps at work
if the men desert them.
The committee will also consider the
matter of the calling out of the bitumi
nous miners, but In the absence of the
petitions from two other districts neces
sary to make up the five that are re
quired to call a special convention It Is
believed no action will be taken. It is
just possible, however, that the petitions
may •be received today. In that event.
President Mitchell will immediately issue
the call for the convention.
There Is a rumor current which cannot
be confirmed that the railroaders at a
meeting here decided to refuse to handle
bituminous coal destined for the anthra
cite market, and If necessary to cause a
general strike. President Mitchell said
this morning that he knew nothing about
such a meeting. When asked whether
such a step had been seriously considered
by him and the upion railroad leaders, he
refused to discuss the question. There is
reason tq believe that If the traffic In bi
tuminous coal Into anthracite territory
becomes heavy the railroaders will en
deavor to stop it. ..xla
Reports received here by the Associated
Press from all parts of the coal fields
show that everything Is quiet. Fist fights
among Idle men, which rumors are usual
ly exaggerated Into riots are of dally oc
currence, but beyond these trifling dis
putes, nothing has occurred to stir the
community. President Mitchell said this
morning that he knew nothing of the
meetings Os the operator* in New York
nor of the movements of the civic
tion officials beyond what was published
in the morning papers.
GREENE AND GAYNOR’S
FRIENDS ARE FIGHTING
NEW YORK, May 20.—There has been
an exciting scene In the corridor of the
fifth floor of the Windsor hotel, when, for
the first time In Canada, within the rec
■ollection of lawyers, a hotel was turned
into a court of justice on Sunday, says a
Montreal dispatch to The Herald.
This event was followed by a determin
ed effort on the part of friends of John F.
Gaynor and Benjamin D. Greene to gain
forcible entrance to their rooms.
Ten of the stoutest officers of the Mon
treal police force stood guard over the
prisoners, and when Attorney Taschereau,
the prisoners’ counsel, tried to get
through their line he met anything but po
lite treatment.
The clash came about over a rumor that
the prisoners’ friends had a plan to res
cue them. It was necessary to get the
prisoners out of the hotel, and so Judge
Lefontaine was sent for and told that an
important point was to be argued. Fol
lowed by a dozen lawyers, the judge went
to the corridor, and w.thln fifty feet of
the rooms occupied by Gaynor and Greene
he opened pourt.
Lawyers for the defense declared they
knew of a plot on the part of the United
States authorities to kidnap the men at
night and hustle them out of the country
In the same way they had been brought
from Quebec to Montreal. Mr. Tasche
reau demanded that his clients be at once
removed to the common jail, where they
could be safely locked up. Crown Prose
cutor Lemleulux had no objection, but
Senator Danduran, acting for the United
States, denounced the statement of a plot
as a falsehood.
It was then declared, amid great ex
citement, that the reverse was the case,
and the excuse of placing the prisoners In
jail simply meant that as soon as the men
were out of the door of the hotel hired
men hiding near by would spring upon
the party and drive them to a safe place.
Judge Lefontaine said he would go in
and see the prisoners, but Inspector Mc-
Mahon shoved him back, and, backed up
by the other nine men, shouted defiance
to judge or lawyer who dared to try to
get into the rooms.
Some of the lawyers decided to see the
attorney general, who is in the city, and
point out to him that no one had a right
to maintain a private prison. Others fol
lowed them, and then the police cleared
the corridors.

NEW YORK, May 21.—The cotton market
opened firm, two points higher to unchanged,
in response to Liverpool bullish cables and
very light receipts at all points In the belt.
The English market had been looked to for an
advance of 1% to 2 points, but at the time
of our opening was net 2% to 5 points higher,
with the tone firm. Immediately following
the call leading commission houses and room
bulls absorbed all offerings by the bear ele
ment and Wall street interests and were in
turn supported by further steady advances in
the Liverpool market. Whereas July started
at 8.89, it soon reached 8.98, while August ad
vanced to 8.67. Trading at the higher prices
was very active and general with sentiihent
emphatically bullish. Th* private crop re
ports were encouraging and weather state
ments from Washington indicated clear or
clearing conditions pretty much over the en
tire belt. Nevertheless, the southern spot mar
kets were described as firmer on improved ex
port and southern mill demand. An advance
of %d. in silver in London, more peace rumors
from South Africa and reports that the King
cotton mills of the south were soon to re
open. helped to strengthen the courage of local
friends of cotton.- There was a larger demand
for the new crop months in the local ring than
noted at any period since speculation in those
positions started.
Late in the forenoon ths market was quiet,
but steady, with prices 3 to 4 points off from
the top.
The room appeared to favor some further ad

should spot cotton advices from the south re

Murphy & Co.'s Cotton Latter.
NEW YORK, May 21.—Weather In the cotton
belt today was perfect In every section, the
only station near the cotton belt reporting rain
being Chattanooga. Moreover the temperature
was high enough and the absence of rain re
ports left the bull element without opportunity
for calling attention to alleged execessive mois
ture. Nevertheless cables were quite bullish
when we opened and the market here advanced
2 to 5 points. Continental buying at Liver
pool was reported and New York rose 5 to 10
points during the first hour, with bulls tn full
control for a while, when profit taking for the
time being put an end to the upward trend.
Both sides were confident, but the bulls ap
peared to have the advantage, since Liverpool
closed 2H to 6 advance. Nevertheless buyers
were not eager. The spot market is believed
by many to be the key to the situation and
the willingness of mills to secure cotton Is too
important to be Ignored, despite fine weather
condition*. It is understood that New England
mills are paying
middling and similar reports are at hand
from other sections. The receipt* are quite
small everywhere, and while one side con,
tends that the low price has checked the move
ment, others contend that signs of exhaustion
are dally multiplying. A see-saw market Is
probable until the bureau report is made pub
lic. on June 3d. Indications were for showers
in the Carolinas and fair weather elsewhere.
Wall street Interests appear again on the
bull side.
Grain and Provlaions.
CHICAGO. May 31.—After a momentary eas
ing of grains at the opening today bullish sen
timent took hold of the pits and pressed prices
up with a fair show of vigor. In wheat con
ditions favored the bear side. Rains had
fallen in most of the wheat and corn belt
and the Ohio valley, which has been suffering
for moisture for several weeks, had a good
soaking. Ideal weather in the northwest, was
clearing up to some extent and there was some
hope of getting in delayed spring seed. Re
ceipts. however, were still very small. St.
Louis came into th* market for July stuff and
the strength In corn brought a fair gain.
Liverpool markets, which opened for the first
time since Friday, showed a fair decline and
influenced the early weakness. July opened
H@>xc to He lower, at 74% to 74%@74%c, and
advanced easily to 75575%c. Local receipts
were only twelve cars, two of contract grade.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 93 car*,
making a total for the three places of 105 car*,
against 146 cars last week and 239 car* a
year ago.
After the early show of strength in Wheat
and July sold to 74%c there Was a selling pres
sure put on the pit and July declined to a weak
close, V*©%d down at 7<%c.
Corn showed very good strength after the
first few minute* of trade. Cables were in
different but they influenced the market only
momentarily. The principal bull factor wa*
the small run of cars, only 30. There was
some good buying and support by bull party,
but there was little disposition to let go of
stuff in holding. Country owners were making
very light offerings. The market took on an
active appearance early and July, which open
ed %c lower, to %c higher, at 61 %c to 62%c,
quickly topped 62V5®62%c.
Corn lapsed into a dull market late In the
dav and declined on fair selling until July clos
ed, only slightly firmer %©%c up at 62%®62%c.
Oats opened with a little better show of ac
tivity, but there still seemed to be a wafting
game on, especially in new July options. The
cash demand was good, but this was partly
offset by increased receipts and favorable crop
reports. Mav was ou %c on some small trad
ing. but July took hold well after opening un
changed at 36%c, and sold up to 37%c. Re
ceipts were 134 cars.
Provisions started out rather weak on 8,000
head more hogs received at the yards than
was estimated and on a consequent dip of
5c In yard prices. Offerings were liberal, pork
and lard being sold freely. Some support came
from the packers, however, and prices made
improvements. July pork opened 7% to 2%c
down, at 817.10 to 317.15, and sold to 317.17%;
July lard, 5 to 2%c lower, at 310.12% to 310.15,
and touched 810.1<%;<and July ribs 2%c lower
to unchanged, at 39.62% to 89.65.

Murphy & Co.’s Grain Letter.
CHICAGO, May 31—Wheat was strong and
higher early today, but sold off at noon on lack
of demand and on selling orders from St.
Louts. Later etreme weakness developed and
the close wa* % to % lower. Sentiment was
bullish early on eport demand buying by for
eigner* of September. Small receipts and bad
crop news helped the advance. The local crowd
bulled the market on strength of corn. When
the demand ceased liquidation set-in and there
was a steady decline. Liverpool was % lower
than Friday. The weather northwest was
clear. There was some rain the southwest.
Commission house* were good buyers of com
today and the market was very strong. Har
ris-Gates sold a little, but had no effect on the
early market. The main influence was very
small receipt* and country offers. In this
connection It is claimed that cash house* have
reduced the Ir business and this accounts in a
measure for small offerings. Ther was rather
free selling at th* advance and the demand
being poor, prices eased off and nearly all of
the gain was lost. The market closed with a
small advance of the day. The same good
buying of oats that put the market up yester
day wa* again In evidence today. There was
no pressure to sell and the buying by Bartlett
Frazier advanced prices easily. The early
strength of wheat and corn wa* a help and the
late market was affected by their weakness,
closing barely steady and a little lower to a
little higher with July showing the greatest ad
vance. Trade in provisions was strong and
cash declines for everything on the list.

bell Bros.' Fruit and Produce Letter.
ATLANTA. May 22.—Eggs took a very unex
pected change since Monday, and It Is impos
sible to supply the demand at an advance of
from one to two cents per dosen, how long this
will last It would be guess work to predict.
Hens continue very scarce, and liberal receipts
will meet ready sale, at fancy price*. Spring
chickens, large and small, are well cleaned up,
and bringing paying prices. Stock peas find
ing ready sale, while white and lady pea* are
a drag on the market. Honey coming quite
freely, but the demand has been steadier, than
for many years past. Celery ready sale at
$2.50 to $3.00 per crate. Cabbage in normal
supply, moving readily at fair prices. Wax
beans, for some reason, do not take well on
our market, and will not sell when the rough
green beans are to be had. both are In light
receipt today, and liberal shipments will strike
a good market. In our opinion, balance of the
week. Tomatoes have advanced from 50 to 75
cents per crate, and It Is impossible to supply
the demand, even at the advance. Fish of all
kinds are finding ready sale, and recipts are
not so liberal for the past three days, liberal
shipments are advised, which no doubt will
strike a good market the rest of this week.
MAN, MAD FROM DRINK,
RUNS AMUCK IN NEW YORK
NEW YORK, May 19.—Peter Lineman,
30 years old, a farm hand employed by
Charles Winner, near Greenvillage, has
wrecked three houses and nearly killed
Mrs. Winner. Lineman, who had just
quit work, is said to have been Intoxica
ted.
Returning to the Winner house he found
the door locked. Securing an ax he broke
in and demolished everything in sight.
When Winner and his wife appeared Line
man hurled his ax at the woman and sbs
fell, severely wounded. Lineman took up
the weapon and visited the homes of two
other families, breaking in the doors and
destroying the furniture.
Meantime Winner ran to the nearest tel
ephone, half a mile away, and telephoned
Sheriff Baker w;io swore in a posse of
eight men.
Before they reached the place, however,
Lineman had fallen before a load of shot
from a gun in the hands of a house owner
and he was carried to jail.
Mrs. Winner will probably die.

tion has ever before been placed In th* hand*
of the public. On account of th* mighty power
and Influence placed In one’s hand* by thl*
book, the legislature of the state of New York
debated whether or not the *tate ought to
permit its promiscuous circulation; but It wa*
finally decided the good It would accomplish

Not long ago John D. Rockefeller, the rich
est man in 'America, said in talking to a
Sunday sdhool claas. that he regarded hl* *uo
cess In life, largely to hi* ability to Influenes
others. Lincoln, Lee. Napoleon and Alexander
the Great, all won name and renown by their
wonderful power of personal influence. Jay
Gould piled up million* by thl* same power.
J. P. Morgan organized the blllion-dollar steel
trust and enriched himaelf by millions simply
by his marvelous ability to Influence others.
There are today thousand* of men with th*
brains and education of Mr. Morgan who are
practically pauper*. They have the ability to
organize a trust, but they have not sufficient
power of personal Influence. Personal Influence,
will-power, stamina—call It what you will—
has from the creation of man been the subtle
force that has brought wealth, fame and re
nown to those who were fortunate enough to
possess It.
This strange, mysterious influence is Inher
ent in every human being. By the late meth
ods explained by the New York specialist in
human culture any intelligent person can de
velop a wonderfully magnetic personality, and
learn how to read the character, secrets and
the lives of others In a few days’ study at hi*
own home. You can use thl* marvelous power
without the knowledge of your most intlmats
friends and associates. You can use it to ob
tain lucrative employment, to secure an ad
vance in salary, to win the friendship and In
fluence of other* to obtain a greater share of
happiness from life. You can be respected, hon
ored and become a leader in your community.
If you are not fully satisfied with your pres
ent condition and circumstances; if you long
for greater success or more money; If you ar*
not able to Influence others to the extent you'
desire, the reporter would advise you to writ*
at once for free copy of this great work now

rence. Kan., recently sent for copy of this book.
After carefully examining it and testing the
methods of personal Influence on her friend* and
associates, she makes the following statemenu

by the Columbia Scientific Academy have been
worth to me more than all the previous reading
of my life. I wish every woman in this country
could read their grand book.’’
Fred Perkins, of South Haven. Mich., says:
"I have been In great demand since I read th*
work of the Columbia Scientific Academy. Peo
ple are amazed and mystified at the thing* I

vices. If any one would have told I would re
ceive so much wonderful information I would
have thought him crazy."
