REMNANT OF COTTON CROP
SHOULD BRING ELEVEN CENTS
Ginners’ Report Causes Market to Advance and
Recede. What Will It Do Next?
Reports from the G. S. W. corre¬
spondents throughout Middle Georgia
Indicate that the cotton crop of 1906
is about out. The price this season
has ranged from 9 to 11 cents per
pound, the latter being the minimum
price specified by the Farmers’ Un¬
ion. The concensus of opinion
among warehousemen is that the
bulk of this season’s crop has been
marketed.
Up to November 14 8,631,486 bales
of cotton had been ginned against
7,501,180 last year. Of this number
1,190,627 bales were ginned in Geor¬
gia, which is second on the list, Tex¬
as being first with 2,982,698 bales.
Up to date everybody has ventured
an estimation on this year’s product
The National Ginners’ Association
estimates the crop at 11,600,000 bales.
On announcement of the ginners’ re¬
port at one o’clock Tuesday, the price
of cotton advanced nearly a quarter
of a cent per pound. On Wednesday
New York futures receded 23 points,
probably for the same reason these
caused the advance of 26 points the
day before. With the cotton mar¬

MOTHER MURDERESS
Case Without Parallel Develops
In New York.
SAY MOTHER KILLED BABIES
And Then Burned Their Bodies in
Kitchen Stove—The Accusers Re¬
fuse to Call the Woman Who Bore
Them “Mother." * ,
New York, Nov. 22.—The spec¬
tacle of two women denouncing as
a murderess the woman who brought
them into the world, but when they
refused to call her "mother,’’ was wit¬
nessed in the office of the district
attorney.
The women are Mrs. Marie Schoch,
recently a resident of Massachusetts,
and Mrs. Wilhelmina Ihrig, of this
city. The mother whom they accused
is Mrs. Wilhelmina Bekhart, who was
arrested by representatives of the
County Medical society on a charge
of having performed a criminal op¬
eration .
The arrest was made upon infor¬
mation furnished the society by the
daughters, and the two younger wo¬
men appeared voluntarily at t#!e dis¬
trict attorney's office to amplify the
testimony they already had given
against their mother.
Both Mrs. Schoch and Mr*. Ibrlg
declared that they had seen Mrs.
Eckhart kill her hour-old Infants and
dispose of the bodies by burning them
in her kitchen stove. Mrs. Ihrig
declared also that her mother had
quarreled with her because she re¬
fused to assist In burning the bodies
of the babies.
Mrs. Schoch told the district
torney that when she was three days
old her mother wrapped her in a
bundle of rags and cast her into the
street. She was rescued by her
grandmother, who reared her, and
with whom she remained until she
became a woman.
When she came to this country
she said she found her mother con¬
ducting a disorderly house and she
declared that her metier sought to
have her become an inmate of the
place. She refused.
The first she knew of her mother’s
present occupation, she said, wak
when Mrs. Eckhardt’s little adopt¬
ed son made a discovery in the house
which led to the exposure and Mrs.
Eckhardt’s arrest.
When she learned of the discov¬
ery made by the little boy, Mrs.
Schoch said she went to her
about it and she declare* Mrs. Bck-
hardt proposed that they go into
partnership. This she did after
sulting with represents Ives of
County Medical society, and with
view of causing Mrs. Eckhardt’s
rest. It was while occupying
position In her mother's house,
said, that she procured the
which resulted In Mrs.
arrest. Mrs. Ihrig came here
months a so from Regensburg,
many. She testified that she
with her mother after coming
and that in August last she saw
mother burn the bodies of Infants.
This Marriage Was Annulled.
Lynchburg, Vs., Nov. 22.
adjourning the city circuit
Judge Barksdale entered an order
claring null and void the marriage
L. C. Burks, of this city, and

in where angels fear to tread, would
hesitate at predicting the future fluct¬
uations of the market. Everybody
is entitled to a guess, and lortunately
there is no penalty attached to exer¬
cising the privilege in an Incorrect
manner.
The price of cotton is not governed
by actual conditions or the same
condition could not cause the market
to operate both ways.
With a 11,000,000 bale crop the
formers ought to get 11 cents per
pound for the remnants now in their
possession, This is a fair price for
cotton, and there is no apparent rea¬
son why the planters, who are the
builders of the South’s prosperity,
should be discriminated against. An
honest man, a wise man, a rascal, a
liar and a fool ate equally at a loss
when it comes to ascertaining just
what governs the price of cotton.
All of the above classes, however,
during an honest moment would ad¬
mit that under the conditions exist¬
ing at present cotton is worth 11 cents
per pound.

and that night the marriage took

was no reason for the forced marriage
and the couple have always main¬

er . The suit was instituted by the
wife.

INTEREST GILLETTE TRIAL.
Great Crowd* of People Attend Trial

Herkimer, N. Y., Nov. 22.—There
j was another great crowd of women
tad men watting Tbnraday morning

for the continuance of the story of
the love of Grace Brown, of Oort-
laudt. for Chester Gillette, of the
•death of the girl, and, lastly, the
trial of UiUette for her alleged mur¬
der.
When the court-session closed after
dark la*:t night, the chain of evidence
presented by the prosecution had
reached the point of the story where
Gillette was at Arrow Head on Fourth
Lake, after the fateful boat ride with
his one-time sweetheart or Big Moose
lake.
Exactly what the defense wilt be
has not yet been disclosed. Tboao
who have been following the trial
closely incline to the suicide theory,
and it is said Gillette’s counsel have
a score of witnesses. They maintain
absolute secrecy on the subject.
When court convened Gillette walk¬
ed briskly to his seat beside his coun¬
sel. He carried a notebook and a
pencil with him and while the first
witness was testifying, made sever¬
al notes.
The witness was a porter at an Ar¬
row Head hotel, where Gillette went
the night Grace Brown disappeared.
He gave little new Information.

One woman was so severely injured
that she may die, 'hundred* of lives
were enddangered and thousands fled
to the strata In fear.
The financial loss'is comparatively
small. The determination of the
firebug to make complete work is il¬
lustrated by the conditions at 235 W.
Eighteenth street. This Is an apart¬
ment house occupied by 24 families.
When one of the tenant* was aroused
by the odor of burning wood the cor¬
ridor* were filled with stifling smoke.
The gas had been turned off at the
meter in the cellar and the frantic
tenants were forced to feel their way
through inky dark room and hallways.
When the firemen reached the house
the fire escapes were crowdd with
half-naked men and women and chil¬
dren, So closely were they packed
on the platforms that It was Impos¬
sible for any of them to make their
way down the iron ladders. All of
them were taken down by firemen.

SCHMITZ MUST FACE TRUE BILL
Wae Indicted for Extortion, while on
Board Ship.
New York, Nov. 22.—Mayor
Schmitz, of San Francisco, who ha*
been indicted in that *lty tor extor¬
tion and who sailed from Hamburg
on Nov. 10, on the Patricia, will
probably arrive here late this after¬
noon.
It is said that out of consideration
for Mrs. Schmitz, who is traveling :
with her husband, Francis J. Heney f
and District Attorney Langdon, of
San Francisco, will spare the mayor
the humiliation of arrest on hi* arriv¬
al. Schmitz does not know that he
has been indicted, the findings of the
grand Jury having been made while
the Patricia was In mid-ocean.
As the Patricia Is not equipped with
wirelea* apparatus, the first news
Schmitz will have of hi* indictment
will probably be from the newspapers
taken aboard the steamer by the pi¬
lot at Sandy Hook.
While It is not known what the
mayor may do, when he learns that
he is charged with felony by the
grand Jury, it 1* generally believed
he will waive extradition and go to
his city at once.
