AND FREE LIST BILLS]
WILL AGREE TO COTTON BILL
The Democratic House Went Down
With Flying Colors in Battle to
Override President.
Washington.—ln a succession of
dramtic events the Democratic house ]
of representatives met defeat in its j
supreme effort to pass the wool and
free list bills over the president's ve
toes. The house will agree to the
cotton tariff revision bill as amended
in the senate, but will not hold con
gress in session to await the certain
veto of that measure. The senate
cleared away all its business and ear
ly adjournment is assured, in the opin
ion of the leaders of both parties in
the house.
The Democratic house majority, with
a great demonstration of enthusiasm,
marshaled its ranks for the great bat
tle to override the president and went
down with flying colors. The party
leaders failed to muster enough In
surgent Republican support to pass
the tariff legislation over the presi
dent’s head.
The Democratic members of the
ways and means committee determln
de to end the long session at once.
The house will pass the cotton bill

RACE WAR IN SOUTH GEORGIA
Mob Applies Torch to Negro House at
Jakin, Georgia.
Donalsonville, Ga. —As a result of
the killing ’of Marshal Newberry at
Jakin the people of that section of
Early county and those living across
hie river in Alabama have become
thoroughl yaroused and have been ap
plying the torch rather freely to ne
gro lodge buildings, school houses and
churches. Three negro lodges, two
churches and one school house were
laid in ashes by the mob, which is
bent cn revening the death of Mar
shal Newberry.
New trouble arose over some ne
groes barricading themselves in a
house and firing upon a crowd of
whites who were in search of the ne
gro murderer, West. This fire was
returned by the whites and the build
ing in which the negroes had barri
caded themselves was riddled with
bullets and three of the negroes were
killed.
Report comes here from reliable au
thority that a large shipment of whis
key was received at Jakin, and the
crowd has begun to drink heavily and
are brandishing their revolvers in
each others’ faces. The more peace
able of the whites have been doing all
in their power to end the trouble and
let the law take a hand. This has en
raged the more vicious element of the
mob, and it is now feared that the
lives of the whites are endangered
from the mob, taking it as an insult
that they should not revenge the
death of Marshal Newberry.
AU business at Jakin is at a stand
still, stores being closed and the
whites remaining in their homes. The
negroes are scattered and fe wean be
seen in or around Jakin. The negroes
living in the country who had not
heard of the trouble there went ti
Jakin to transact business, but were
not permitted to remain in the town
nor allowed to purchase goods.

Farmers to Estimate Cotton Crop.
Montgomery, Ala. —To save the
farmers of the South millions of dol
lars this fall and to put the world
on notice that the cotton crop of the
South has greatly deteriorated since
the publication of the last government
report and to go on record that the
total crop will not reach 15,000,006
bales, as formerly estiamted, a con
ference of all Southern agricultural
commissioners, officials of the Farm
ers’ union and of other agricultural
organisations, will meet in Montgom
ery.
Georgians Fight Publicity Bill.
Washington.—The Georgia delega
tion in congress furnished 10 of the
27 votes that were cast in the house
against the acceptance of the confer
ence report on the bill for the publi
cation of campaign expensse. Their
opposition to the measure was due to
the fact that the bill gives the Feder
al government jurisdiction over pri
mary elections, and may nullify the
Georgia laws regulating congressional
nominations. Congressman Hughes of
the Third was the only Georgian to
vote for the conference report.

INTERESTS SECRETARY KNOX
Secretary of State Knox Writes Inter
esting Letter to Congressman
Brantley of Georgia.
Washington.—Thanks to the efforts
of Congressman Brantley, the depart
ment of state has become interested
in securing relief for the cotton indus
try of the South from the injustice
resulting from the present cotton
"tare” system in operation in the cot
ton market of foreign countries.
Mr. Brantley’s activity in the mat
ter is due to the passage by the Geor
gia legislature of an appeal to the
president and congress for relief from
the unfair and arbitrary discrimination
against the cotton growers in the mat
ter of “tare.”
Secretary Knox’s letter is of vital
importance to every cotton farmer of
the South, and his views will be wel
comed generally in Georgia, as it is
evident that he is in the fullest sym
pathy with the cotton growers.
Secretary Knox says, in part:
"Realizing that the statements set
forth in the memorial and resolution
above referred to point to a trade con
dition apparently so harmful to the
cotton-producing industry as to justify
the fullest investigation and effort for
its correction, 1 have the honor to say
that the department will neglect no
proper means for obtaining the fullest
possible information on the subject.
Instructions will be sent promptly to
consular officers at European ports
where other cotton exports are landed
with a view to ascertaining whether
any justification exists in the present
practices whereby an arbirtray ‘tare’
of substantially $1 pej bale in ex
cess of actual weight of containers is
customarily charged.
"It may be suggested that this pe
culiar practice with res.pect to the
marketing of cotton might be over
come through identical legislation on
the part of all states interested in the
production or sale of cotton by means
of which there would be fixed a stand
ard method of preparing cotton for
shipment, specifying the weight or
bands and bagging employed in bal
ing and providing proper penalties ap
plicable to both seller and buyer for
variation of the ‘tare’ thus provided
for. Such legislation would not en
tail any additional expense on the
producer of cotton and it would estab
lish a basis for “tare" that would make
transactions impossible unless that
‘tare’ were recognized by the buyers.
With a standard weight for contain
ers fixed by law there would be es
tablished a basis for the American
contention with respect to the ’tare’
“It may be without some decided re
form in the American baling methods,
that foreign manufacturers of cotton
will decline to recognize any claims
that might be made in behalf of a
more equitable adjustment of ‘tare,’
but it may be conceded that with uni
form and improved coverings for cot
ton standardized by the identical laws
of the several states there would he
eliminated all just cause for the pecu
liar system of reprisal now practiced.’’
Taft Signs Statehood Bill.
Washington.—President Taft signed
the joint resolution for the admission
of New Mexico and Arizona into the
Union. There was but one resolution,
so the president used three pens in
order that some of the relic hunters
might be satisfied. "Well, it’s done,”
the president said, as he signed the
parchment. The resolution provides
that Arizona shall eliminate the judi
ciary recall clause in its constitution.
Probing Tennessee Prisons.
Knoxville, Tenn. —Following a per
sonal inspection of the main prison at
Nashville and the branch prison at
i Brushy mountain, Gov. B. W. Hooper
made public a letter he has written
Chairman J. C. Beasley of the state
prison commission, asking for specific
information concerning the conduct of
certain affairs at the prison. In his
letters the governor asks many ques
tions as to how minor prisoners are
taken care of and educated.
Whiskey Legalized in Montgomery.
Montgomery, Ala. —Whiskey was le
galized in Montgomery for the first
time in three years, when Probate
Judge J. B. Gaston issued fifty-two li
censes to clubs, hotels, retail and
wholesale dealers of the city, receiv
ing a net sum of $39,200 in return for
the privilege of dispensing liquors.
Under the Smith regulation whiskey
measure no more saloons can be li
censed than the fifty-two granted ex
cept in cases where hotels of more
than thirty rooms are established.
National Reunion Blue and Gray.
Memphis, Tenn. —With an especial
ly engraved invitation to the com
mander and members of the Grand
Army of the Republic in encampment
at Rochester, a committee left to in
vite the old soldiers to Memphis on
the occasion of the first attempt to
hold a national reunion of the blue
and gray. The joint reunion is set for
September 27. The Confederate Vet
erans and Sons of Veterans have en
dorsed the joint reunion of the blue
and gray.
LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOD
Nowhere In Biblical Lore Can There
Be Found Intimation of Any
Other Idea.
We misjudge and distort the nor
mally .human nature of the Saviour
wher ae picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his “Inferno,” with the shadows
or perdition on his brow. We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lord’s
pathway; there is no hint of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
dle of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead of him, and was
at times pressed down with a dread
ful sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion, why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side of life; and, further
more, why did he produce so many
things and people to laugh atT —

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA
"While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, I became afflicted with
bolls, which lasted for about two
years, when the affliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost un
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be a solid sore. This con
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
“During all this time of boils and
eczema, I doctored with the best phy
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which I did, tak
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until I was
well again, and have not had a re
currence of the trouble since, which is
over twenty years. I have recom
mended Cuticura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them as remedies for skin diseases.”

Law, Greenville, 0., Jan. 17, 1911.

Tuberculcisis Patients Neglected.
Out of more than 225 public hos
pitals for the insane, with a popula
tion of fully 150,000, only 70, or less
than one-third, make any provision
for their tuberculous inmates, and
this, too, in spite of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this disease
is very high among this class of peo
ple. Such is the substance of a state
ment made recently by the National
Association for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis. Seventy hos
pitals in 28 states, providing all told
about 3,350 beds for tuberculosis in
sane patients, sums up the provision
made for this class of sufferers, al
though the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among the insane ranges
from 50 to 200 per cent, higher than
among the general population.
