4 THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA„ TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1913. DIXIE’S COTTON CROP WASHINGTON. Dec. 15:—A crop ot 6,542,850,000 pounds of cotton, not in cluding linters, was produced in the United States during 1913-14, the de partment of agriculture announced to day. This is the third in size, that of 1911 which amounted to 7,459,940,000 pounds, being the record and that of last year, when 6,851,710,000 pounds were grown, being second. This year’s crop probably will be the * n.Qst valuable ever grown in the United States. At the average farm value of cotton on November 1, which was 13 cents a pound, it is worth $860,570,500 * lor the lint alone. To this about $125,- 000,000 probably will be added by the , \alue or the seed and linters. The pre vious most valuable crop was that of f 1**10, which was valued at $820^320.000, * and with seed and lint at $963,180,000. All the states, with the exception of Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma, produced crops better than the average of the past five years, while r Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina produced their second largest crops and Texas its third largest. Estimates- Georgia Cotton / Yield at 2,275,000 Bales ' The government, estimate of the size of the 1913 cotton crop was issued FrL ' day. It estimates the yield for'Geor gia, exclusive of linters, will be *2,275,- 000 bales, and the total yield of the , south at 13,677,000 bales, exclusive of linters. These are 500-pound bales. This is the first government estimate on the 191? crop. Private estimates of the Georgia i/ield had run from 2,200.000 to $2,500,- MO bales. Up to December 1 a shade over 2,000,000 bales had been ginned in ^ oorgia, but this year, because of fine weather conditions and extra premiums for labor in some sections, the crop was gathered rapidly. . The price of cotton has ranged around 13 cents through the season, but for the most part has brought above that fig ure. 'This is particularly true in the states east of the Mississippi, where the grade has been exceptionally good. Taking 13 cents as an average, how ever. and 500 pounds as the average weight—this is the weight figured on in the government estimate—the value Of Georgia’s estimated yield will be $147,- $75,000, which does not iiiclude the value of cotton seed. Tne estimated Georgia yield for 1913 compares with 1 ? 776,546 actual yield in 1912, and a foiir-year average of 2,- ,017.371. V The estimate for the belt compares with lo,703,421 last year and 15,692,701 n 1911. It will be seen from the Geor gia estimate that this state will have almost a bumper crop, with the ad vantage of high prices caused by the! smaller crop throughout the rest of'the belt. UNIFORM EXPRESS RATES ' MEET WITH OPPOSITION (By Associated Press.) JO, " " ~ CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—Prospects of an apparently irreconcilable difference be tween advocates of uniform express rates all over the country and state commissions which will fight for the^ own rates, developed today in the con ference held here of the National Con ference of National Railway Commis sioners. All sections c*. the country were represented: The commissioners have been consid ering for two days the possibility of making intrastate rates uniform with the tariffs adopted by the interstate commerce commission. The federal commission was represented by W. A. Kyan, who explained and defended the national rate. T. B. Harrison, of New York, chairman of the joint committee of the express companies, has been a leader in the fight for uniform rates. With the submission of figur.es, how ever, showing the advantage which some states enjoy through the reductions ef fected by their commissions, it became apparent that the uniform rate had en countered opposition that probably would prevent its- recommendation by the state organizations. Dwight N. Lewis, assistant commerce counsel for Iowa, who led the attack on the proposition, said: “Why should states which have fought long and hard to obtain laws which will give them low express rates, sur render that advantage now, at the plea of the express companies? We will never agree to it." Florida and Georgia are said to be among states which will refuse to con sider tjie uniform rates. It is thought that Wisconsin and New York will urge it.

Dr. Donald Sage MacKay, for many years pastor of the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas on Fifth avenue and president of the gen eral synod of the Reformed Church in America. Mrs. MacKay died jester*, day afternoon under influence of ether on an operation table in a private hos pital, where she had registered a few hours previous as Mrs. J. H. Jones, of Boston. A piece of paper in her hand bag on which she had scribbled her pame and address, led to her identifi cation. The belief that she was suffer ing from an incurable disease led her to visit the hospital for an examina tion, according to the theory of the coroner. Ether was given at her own re quest and for the purpose of aiding in the examination. Heart failure under the anesthetic caused depth. Mrs. MacKay was a daughter of the late J. Gregor Smith, one time governor of Vermont, from whom sh£ inherited a large fortune. She was prominent in New York society. Dr. Macay died .suddenly in a railroad station in Port land, Me., .in August. 1908. GERMAN SENTINELS TOLD TO SHOOT WHEN STONED 1 — . v- (By Associated Presrf.) .

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Senator Sutherland has again introduced into the senate a bill similar to the one which came so near passing at the last congress, known as the workmen’s com pensation act, and to which railroad employes of Georgia were so generally opposed, the passage of which was* pre vented at the close of the last congress by the notice of Senatot Hoke Smith that he would occupy the balance of the session debating the house amendments and that the bill could not pass. /The bill is now before the judiciary com mittee of the senate, and, while the senators w ho opposed the former bill were busy with other matters, came very near receiving a favorable report from the senate judiciary committee. This fact was brought to the atten tion of Senator Hoke Smith today and he has begun again an active organiza tion in the senate to prevent the passage of this measure. Senator Overman is acting chairman of the judiciary committee and this morning at the request of Senator Smith, tie introduced an amendment to the bill which provides that nothing in the bill Shall curtail the existing rights of rail road employes given them by the com mon law or the federal employers’ liabil ity act. He will also present to the senate a letter written by President Wilson, on October 10, 1913, in which he said, re ferring to the Sutherland workmen’s compensation act, that “it did not seem to him just that the existing rights of workmen under the federal law should in any way be curtailed."

LONDON.—Lord Strathcona has re turned from Scotland. Much has been written about this veteran of ninety- three, but not every one knows he has more residences than any other peer in the United States. They are now nine in number, and besides his house in Grosvenor Square, include country places in England and Scotland, and stately homes in Montreal, Winnipeg and Nova Scotia. And no one knows which of these addresses will find him, as he is always on the move in trains or liners. Certainly, Lord Strathcona has more than his share of interesting recollec tions. When Donald, eighteen years old, left his home in Scotland and sailed for Canada, Queen Victoria had just been crowned, the first steamship was pre paring to cross the Atlantic, and there was no Dominion of Canada. Theie was no railway across the continent and the vast region controlled by the Hudson Ray company was then the great lone i land of adventure. And into this wil derness went Donald Smith as a penni less lad in 1838, and he is now a nero, a statesman, a millionaire and a mono- genarian.

(By Associated Pre3»,) JOHANNESBURG, Union of South Af rica, De^p. 16.—An attempt was made to day to assassinate Sir Lionel Philips, the leading gold mining magnate of South Africa. Three shots were fired at him. One bullet lodged in his neck and another in one of his thighs. His condi tion is declared not to be grave. The would-be assassin was arrested. The attempt was made while he was walking on Commissioner street. It is suppose^ to have been an outcome of the bitterness aroused against the mine owners owing -to the dissatisfaction of the miners in connection with the condi tions of settlement of the strike move-, ment in. September. At that time a se ries of riots occurred in which about* 100 miners wjere killed and itiany wounded. The grievances of the men were chiefly concerned with the great mortality in the mines and refusal of the mine own ers to recognize the unions. They were eventually forced to accept the terms. Sir Lional Philipps was closely identified with the late Cecil Rhodes and Alfred Beit and he is a partner in the firm of Wernber, Beit & Co. He has lived in Jo hannesburg since 1889. In 1896 Sir Lionel was sentenched to death at Pretoria for participation in the Jameson raid, together with John Hays Hammond, George P. Farrar and Colonel Frank Rhodes. The sentence was later commuted to a fine of $125,000 and ban ishment. U. S.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—Coal mine accidents in the' United States in Octo ber resulted in the death of 449 men, according to reports from State Mine inspectors to the United States bureau of mines.

M., i that resulted fatally to 263 miners, j No information has come from Cali- ; fornia, Georgia and Oregon because ! these states have no inspection service.

Easy to Live 100 Years If You'll Only Follow Sir James’ Directions (Special Cable to The Journal.) LONDON.—The decrease in the death rate during the last century has been remarkable, but as every well informed physician will tell you, it has been brought about chiefly by lessening the number of deaths among infants and persons under thirty-five years old. Aft- et the latter age the danger of death is greater than ever, in spite of all that medicine and surgery can do. The famous British physician, Sir James Sawyer, believes it is by no means a difficult matter for any human being to live to be 100 years old. He has recently declared that anybody can at tain this *4ge, unless killed by accident, if he or she will religiously observe the following eighteen “commandments of health:” 1. Eight hours’ sleep every night. 2. Sleep on your right side. 3. 'Keep your bedroom window open. 4. Have a mat at your bedroom door. 5. Keep your bed h\vay from the wall. 6. No cold bath in the morning, but a bath at a temperature of the body. 7. Exercise before breakfast. 8. Eat little meat, and be sure that it is well cooked. 9. Drink no milk—this applies to adults only. 10. Eat plenty of fat to feed the cells which destroys disease germs. 11. Avoid intoxicants, which destroy the cells that combat disease. 12. Allow no pet animals in your liv ing rooms, for they carry disease germs. 13. Live in the country if you- can. 14. W r atch the three Ds-r-drinking water, damp and drains. 15.

(Address the office neare^ you. i WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Shattering the rules of the house of representa tives, champions of prohibition who packed the galleries late yesterday, broke into repeated outbursts of ap plause and shouted as Representative Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Alabama, pleaded for a resolution which would submit a constitutional prohibition amendment to the states. The extraordinary demonstration con tinued unrestrained for many minutes as Mr. Hobson proceeded dramatically to discuss the prohibition question, and was not checked until Mr. Hobson had drawn into controversy his colleague. Representative Underwood, who is now engaged with him in a race for the United States senatorship from Ala bama. The injection of personal poli tics into the situation brought the ma- jerity leader to his feee with : reply to Mr. Hobson, and this precipitated ap plause from the members on the floor. GALLERIES IN UPROAR. Republican Leader Mann, at this point, demanded that the rules of the house be observed, and Representative Moon, of Tennessee, who was in the chair, admonished the spectators. Quiet was restored temporarily after a voice from the gallery shouted: “We’re American citizens." In the course of his speech Mr. Hob son had said: “We ought to have our party under stand now while the war is on, that it never was intended for an alliance with the liquor interests. Yet there is a great Democrat, a great Alabamian, who is present today, who recently an nounced—at least that Is the way I read in the reports—that if prohibition con tinues to be injected intq Democratic politics, either ^prohibition would be giound to dust or the Democratic party must die. I take second place to no man who loves his party, and let me tell you that if the Democratic party cFn only live by joining with the liquor •Interests to debauch the American peo ple, then, In God’s name, let it die." CHEERS GREET UNDERWOOD. Before the tumult had subdued, Repre sentative Underwood,, who had been quietly listening up to this time, rose in his place. Cheers and handclapping from Democratic and Republican mem bers on the floor greeted him. “I wish to say to the gentleman from Alabama," Mr. Underwood began, “that I regret excedingly that in presenting the petition for the cause of prohibition to the house that he should have drawn into his speech a partial utterance of mine that misrepresented my remarks. At some other time and in the proper t>Jace I will interpret my own remarks." TWO GIRLS FIGURE IN • COLUMBUS MYSTERY COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 16—Police of ficials and detectives in this city were confronted today by a double mystery in which two women were the central figures.
