L GOVERNOR HUGHES SPEAKS.
■We celebrate today the madness that
makes history and empires, the madness
that has given us the American republic
and will cause it to endure; the madness
that must permeate the American people
and rescue them from the pitfails of their
overwhelming prosperity.
“On thia spot occurred one of those
rar* exploits In which strategy and bra
very reached their highest level of at
tainment. No finer exhibition of un
flinching courage and of supreme devo
tion to the cause of liberty has been
given to the world.
- "We lose the meaning of occasions such
as this if we regard them as the ex
clusive property of any one state or sec-
- . tion or period. The whole nation is here
today brought face to face again with
its obligations and privileges. As a na
tion. we are trying to work out before
the world the great new problems of in
stitutions recognised equally before the
law. Let us go forth resolved to win as
Wayne won—effacing self and fearing
not the odd* against us. i>*t vs go forth

the fortresse* of avarice and selfishness
and covetousness shall be taken and the

body was found yesterday, covered be
neath a mound of brush and pine needles
in a strip of woodland north of Beau
mont mill village In this city, killed else
where and her body carried to the woods
for concealment, is the question asked
by the officials today.
The police believe the murder was. not
committed in the woods, hut that the
body had been carried there. Physicians
say the body hkd not been dead more
than 48 hours. The marks found were on
the head, the skull being crushed in sev
eral places, one arm was broken and the
fingers badly cut.
In the meantime her husband. Doc Fos
ter. is in jail, pending further Investiga
tion.
Foster's reputation is that of an hon
est affii law-abiding man, at one time a
successful farmer at Bolling Springs In
■ this county. He is 60 years of age.
j When arrested today he was seated in,
his room reading the Bible and expressed
; little surprise when told that his wife
had been murdered. He was taken io
where the body lay in the woods and after
I viewing it in an indifferent fashion, said-'
j “Yes. that's her.”
The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict
to the effect that the woman came to
her death by being beaten in the head
with some blunt instrument and recom
mended that her husband be held until the
circumstances surrounding the case are
further developed.
Foster was seen with his wife in the
woods where her body was found. Tues
day afternoon, and he is known to have
iieen with her that morning in .the Beau
mont mill village. He denies any knowl
edge of the crime. a"nd stated that he
Inst saw his wife Tuesday evening in a
hack with a white man and a negro
driver. She told him then she was going
to a neighboring mill village to see some
friends. Foster says he did not know*
either of the men in the hack.
Mrs. Foster, who was Miss Martha Sud
derth. of Greenville county, had been in
the state asylum for the insane for six
months, and returned here only two weeks
ago. She has six children, some of whom
are in an orphanage in Greenville.

a conversation with outsiders and a news
paper had been thrown into the jury
room containing editorial comments on
the graft trials.
Judge Mimminger suspended the Black
trial this morning while he made a
searching investigation of the alleged
tampering with the jury. It was found
that Juror J. D. Perry, a Columbia
butcher, had held a conversation with his
clerk. G. M. Dorn, and a companion, A.
T. Keith, relative to Perry’s business in
terests. but that nothing was said about
the graft trials.

morning a copy of the State, containing
an account of the trial and editorial com
ments on the Far num graft case, had
been thrown through the hotel window
■ into the room occupied by the jury and

under arrest for contempt of court. Their
cases will be passed on later. .

ter settled as soon as possible.”

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA. GEORGIA, TUESDAY. OCTOBER 5. 190*
FITE NOW SCREY
HE FREED STEGALL
In Signed Sensational Statement,
Judge A. W. Fite, of Dade Coun
ty Court, Criticizes United
States Attorneys.
Threatening to disregard the United
States court should its decision in the
Stegall case “not be fairly and squarely
made. Judge A. W. Fite, of the Dade
county superior court, issued on Saturday
a statement which makes the most sensa
tional chapter yet written in this clash
between state and federal authorities.
"AS matters stand now.” he writes, “1
regret that 1 ever allowed Stegall to be
carried before Judge Newman.’’
He criticises the district attorney*,,
ascribing to the “quibbling and technical
ities.” He describes the promotion of
Storekeeper and Gauger Stegall and the
appointment of another man in his place
as “an insult to and defiance of the pt ate
court,” adding in’ this connection that
Judge Newman should attach Collector
H. A. Rucker tor contempt of court. -
The Stegall case originated. it will be re
called. in the refusal of Charles E. Ste
gall. a United States revenue official de
clining to furnish the Dade county court
with certain information concerning the
alleged operation of a liquor distillery at
Rising Fawn. Stegall refused to do so on
the ground that his oath of office forbade
him giving out any information obtained
through his official capacity. He was
thrown Into jail by Judge Fite tout was,
later allowed to come to Atlanta on a
write of habeas corpus issued by Judge
William T. Newman of the United States
district court. A hearing as to whether or
not Stegall should answer the questions
asked him in the state court began Fri
day before Judge Newman and was con
tinued until Thursday next. Judge Fits’
statement follows in full:
JUDGE FITE’S STATEMENT.
The Stegall case was set for a hear
ing yesterday before Judge Newman in
Atlanta, but nothing was done, and th*
caae was continued until next Thursday.
The whole day was consumed In quib
bling and discussing technicalities in
der to avoid the real question. When I
agreed to allow Stegall to be carried .be
fore Judge Newman it was distinctly
agreed by attorneys that there should be
no delay, quibbling or technicalities re
scried to. and that the sole question te
,be submitted to Judge Newman was
whether of not Stegall could be forced to
tel! what was manufactured at Cureton’s
distillery. w
The lawyers for the government are
new trying to dodge the question by
quibbling and technicalities, but it will
do them no good, for If Judge Newman
does not decide the question fairly and
• squarely as it was before me. I shall
: pay no attention to his decision and will
■ make the question again at the Mgxt term
lof Dade county court in the trial of j
j Cureton.
; The insolence of the negro collector In I
promoting Stegall andxappolnting another
storekeeper and gauger for Cureton's dis
tillery is an insult to and a defiance of
♦he state court, and Judge Newman
should attach him for a contempt of hit
court.
As matters now stand. I regret that. I j
eter allowed Stegall to be carried before
Judge Newman, as it Is probable that we
may not in this proceeding be able to get
the matter, properly before the supreme
court of the United States, in the event
Judge Newman should decide against
the state, as was contemplated when I
allowed Stegall to be carried before Judge
Newman. A. W. FITE.

MIXED FERTILIZER S
ARE BEST FOR COTTON
WASHINGTON.’Oct. 2.—The results
of a comprehensive study of Prof. Mil
ton Whitney, chief of the bureau of
soils, agricutural department on “fertil
izers' for cotton soils,” have just been
made public. Professor Whitney says:
”’j he chances for Increase in crop pro
duction are greater with two or thbee
fertilizers mixed than with a single
substance, and a larger Increase gives
In general a larger financial gain.
“ft appeara that the smaller applica
tions of single fertillzers-manure, com
post and commercial fertilizers—have
given in general no teas an Increase
than the larger amounts.
“The increase obtained from the more
productive soils based upon the yields
of unfertilised plats appears to be no
less than from the less productive soils,
indicating an equal increase in crop for
the same quantity of fertilizers used
for the good soils as for the less pro
ductive soils.” ’

Manufacturers Say That Lack of
Profit Will Cause Southern
Plants to Close Down If Prices
I
Go Higher.
CHARLOTTE, N. C„ Oct. 2.-A criti
cal situation and one pf rare occurrence
confronts aouthern cdtton mills because
of the high price of raw cotton, and un
less there is a decided drop in the price
of. the staple in less than two weeks,
according to ex-Presldent S. B. Tanner,
of the American Cotton Manufacturers
association, southern mills will be forced
to shut down.
"It is a very easy question to answer.”
said Mr. Tanner, “as to what the mills,
both cloth and yarn, will do in the
event of thirteen-cent cokton continuing
as at present.
“It will mean that there will be no
money in textile products, and the mills,
after using up what small stocks of
cotton they have on. hand, will have to
shut down—that is if cloth and yarn,
especially the former, do not take a
decided jump upwards, a bigger jump
than cotton manufacturers would expect
under the circumstances.”
It was further declared that the mills
are buying 'practically no raw cotton at
prevailing figures—l 3 cents—nor will they
lay in stocks at that figure, for the quo
tations on cotton goods and cotton yarns
are far too low to leave any profit to
the manufacturer today.
In other words, the mill that makes
yarn or cloth out of 13-cent cotton and
sells its product at prevailing prices will
lose its profit and a great deal more
in fact the proposition -is impractical
and will not* be experimented in by any
of the manufacturers.
Many of the mills have some little cot
ton on hand which they stored when cot
ton was bringing 10 and 11 cents, but
I. these stocks are short and will shortly
■'l be exhausted. •
President Parker, of the American Cot
ten Manufacturers’ association, has call
ed a meeting of the board of governors
for Friday, October 8, in ♦Charlotte, to
• consider the question of curtailment of
1 production in order to make the present

BAILEY ASKS BRYAN
FOR SOUND DOCTRINE
FORT WORTH. Tex.. Oct. 2.—Challeng
ing his utterances and conclusions as
, inconsistent. United States Senator Jo
seph W. Bailey, replying last night to
the recent speech of William J. Bryan
at El Paso, Tex., and speaking With more
vigor than he has heretofore exhibited in
the controversy with Mr. Bryan as to tar
iff issues, drew parallels of his own
demands tor a revenue tajc on both raw
, material and the»'manirfactured product
and the tentative platform proposed by
Mr. Bryan far free raw materials and a
tax cn the manufactured article.
"SOUND DEMOCRACY/’
No "reference was made to efforts that
have been made to have Mr. Bryan
meet .him in joint debate but in referring
to thg reported statement, of Mr. Bryan
1 that he was endeavoring tb elect a Demo
cratic lower house of congress, Mr. Bailey
suggested that he begin with Nebraska.
“And if he will preach sound Democ
racy.,” he continued, “I’ll go up there
and help him.
Calling Mr. Bryan at Dallas as a wit
ness against Mr. Bryan at El Paso, Sen
ator Bailey assailed his platform as in
i consistent with his speeches. At Dallas.
; he said. Mr. Bryan had declared that a
tax on raw materials was an embarrass
ment to American manufacturers and a
handicap to him in his efforts to com
pete in foreign markets, and yet El
Paso, he had faced about by declaring
that a tax on iron ore would put >lO,-
000,000 into the pockets of the steel trust.
Quoting great statesmen of all par
ties. Senator Bailey held Mr. Bryan right
in declaring that a tax on raw material
was ‘ a detriment to manufacturers.
“But,” he continued, “how could Mr.
Bryan be right when ha / said in a.
later speech that it was a benefit to
some of them.”
DEFINES DAxEB.
In defining what was a revenue duty
and what was a protective duty, accept
ing for the purpose of discussion,. the
distinction made by Mr. Bryan in his.
tentative platform wherein he accepted
25 per cent as a fair revenue rate, he
compared with the rate proposed by
Mr. Bryan, the rate of 15 per cent on
hides, 9 per cent on lumber and 11
per cent on iron ore and declared that
under Mr. Bryan’s plan no man in the
audience would live’ long enough to see
the rates as low as those of which Mr.
Bryan is now complaining.
Senator Bailey will go from Fort Worth
to Washington for several weeks.

TAFT FOR POLICY
. OF ROOSEVELT
SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. I.—President

exposition this morning to witness a pa
rade of the blooded .stock in the live stock
show.
After luncheon a foursome was played
by the president with A Peters, a class
mate of Taft at Yale; Ci J. Smith and
A. S. Kerry. After the game the start
for Tacoma was scheduled. The presi
dent and his fellow-travelers were to oe
conveyed to the yacht El Prlmero lying
at a wharf in the center of the water
front.
At the wharf the committee on ceremo
nies of the world’s fair will surrender the
president to the Tacoma chamber of
commerce, and that organization will en
tertain him until the departure for Port
land at 12:15 o’clock Saturday morning.
President Taft spoke at a dinner last
night in the Washington state building
at the world’s fair. The dinner was at
tended by 500 guests. Referring to Secre
tary Ballinger, the president said:
•* I am grateful to him for coming into
my cabinet. I wish to testify in the
presence of his friends and neighbors to
the sincere and high esteem in which I
hold his services to the government.
Mr. Taft took up the criticism made
that the administration was nst carry
ing out the Roosevelt policies, and said:
IMBUED WITH “POLICIES "
“I am bound to admit that Mr. Roose
velt’s knowledge of the west is greater
than I havq,.,for he had lived in the west
and loved it better than he did his own
home in the east, but I was in the Roose
velt cabinet four years and became im
bued with the determination to carry out
the ‘Roosevelt policies as I understood
them.
“No one can have a higher opinion or
feel more gratitude to my predecessor
than I. There is -a disagreement as to
just what the Roosevelt policies are. We
have heard of Catholics, of whom it was
said that they were more Catholic than
the pope.* Occasionally we find gentle
men sd’ earnest in support of the Roose
velt policies that are more Rooseveltian,
than Roosevelt himself. I ant doing the
best I can to carry out the Roosevelt pol
icies as I understand them, and as I was
in his cabinet for four years, I had at
least fair opportunity to know what they
were.” . . ,
On his way to the fair he reviewed the
children cf the Broadway High school.
After half an hour at the stock show
i the president and party were taken to the
Seattle Golf club, where they spent five
j hours.
I In the morning he played a nine-hole
golf game with H. C. Henry, the railroad
builder.
