Hop a to Profit by the Ousting of :
Gulf Comp i es: Company.
FARMERS IiMim lOMMITTEE
Plan to Ship Direct to Foreign Mil s is
El dosed— W.i! Save $4,250,000
in Mis*i*;ippi Alone.
Jackson, Miss.—A meeting cf the
compress ginners of the southern
states was held here for the purpose
of perfecting an organization and ma¬
king plans to substitute the compress
gin tor the large compress plants now
in operation in the cotton belt.
Tlie several manufacturing concerns
supplying round and square bale com
press gins are fully represented at the
gathering, which is of more than usual
significance in view of the fact that a
special meeting of the federal court
was held here at which Judge Miles
heard the petition of Attorney Gen
oral Fletcher, asking that the receiv
• ership of the Gulf Compress company
not be allowed to interfere with the
decree of the state court declaring
that the Guif Compress Company is J
an unlawful combine and ordering it
ousted from the state.
The compress ginners frankly ac¬
knowledge that they hope to profit t^v
the ousting of the Gulf Compress
company, and that thev will make an
effort to secure control'of the ginning
and compressing in this state, One
strong argument they advance is that
lhe gin compress saves the farmer
$3.5n per bale on his cotton, which in
Mississippi alone means an aggregate
saving ot $4,250,000 per annum.
The Lowry round bale interests, the
Farmers' Gin and Compress company,
the Southern Compress company and
the Munger Gin company aie the
largest concerns represented.
Memphis, Tenn.—Measures which
bid fair to almost revolutionize the
present methods of exporting the cot
ton crop to the foreign mills and spin
uers were recommended and heartily
endorsed by the Farmers’ Union na
tional convention committee, compos
cd of one man from each cotton state,
which met here. 1 o every memoer of
the union was sent an agreement foi
him to sign and forward to the local
secretary of the union pledging his in
dividual support in a di f t market¬
ing of the present cotton crop.
The committee strongly advocated
shipping direct to the foreign mills;
and spinners, which they claimed
could easily be accomplished by fur
nishing the same business advantages
as the heavv exporter now gives to
the mills The growers have been ask
ed to pledge their cotton to them,
and the sales will be apportioned
among tlie states according to the
amount pledged This
which has practically been pledged by
every member of the union, means
that tlie market will not be overfed
and the market prices will no longer
be controlled by the speculators, and
competition among sellers will be

United States Appoints Representa¬ |

Washington, D. C.—Esperanto has j

appointment cf Mayor Paul F. Straub,
of the army medical corps, to repre
sent this country in the fourth inter
national esperanto congress to be held
at Dresden, Germany, August 16-22,

give its official recognition to this re
maikable language. ;
The war department library was
the first institution in Washington to
recognize the value of esperanto as
an auxiliary language, and it began
the accumulation of esperanto liteia

The total number of esperanto
schools and societies throughout the
world is practically 1,000.
DEATH TO BOLL WEEVIL
Powdered Arsenate of Lead Will Kill
the Pest
Baton Rouge La.—That powdered
arsenate of lead may prove the solu¬
tion of the boll weevil problem, j s
the suggestion made in a bulletin is¬
sued by the state crop pest commit
tee. The bulletin gives the results of
some experiments made this year with
the arsenate of lead, and mentions
that in one instance it killed 70 per
cent of the boll weevils in the local
ity where it was tried. State Ento
mologist Newell says that two applica
tions of the preparation will clear a
field entirely of the weevils.
This is the first poison that the Lou
isiana state crop pest commission has
endorsed for killing boll weevils.

“Just call me Mr.Taft and if you drop

SHIP WITHOUT COUNTRY
^firate Goldsboro Arrives at Mo¬
bile From Honduras.
FLYING UNITED STATES FLAG
_
- immm mik
By Courtesy of Federal Government.
$200,000 Worth of Stolen Good*
Were Recovered.
Mobile, Ala.—Captain William Swa
tridge of the steamer Goldsboro, that
arrived in port from Puerto Cortez,
in an interview with the Associated
Press representative here, said:
was sent out from New York city -b\
E. D. Boise, receiver for the estate of
the Export Shipping company of New
Jersey, to bring back the pirate ship
Goldsaoro.
“I received all possible assistance
from the United States and British
consuls at Puerto Cortez and from the
natives in general, but had some little
trouble with the Honduran govern¬
ment in obtaining clearance papers.
I notified the state department at
Washington and Acting Secretary
Adqe notified the American consul at
Puerto Cortez to give me clearance
papers as well as a permit to hoist
the American flag.”
The steamer is a Clyde liner of 461
tens, and is about twenty years old.
The federal government has agreed to
permit the Goldsboro’s ‘return on the
most favorable terms, waiving all port
charges, etc., on the assumption that
the stolen goods making up her cargo
hg.ve never left their rightful owners.
Even so, the costs of recovering the
merchandise are heavy, and of the
mist), 000 or $200,000 involved it is said
to be hardly likely that the owners
will be able to get back more than
a quarter
Aside from the merchandise which
they had purloined, the Baileys had
with them about $50,000 in coin and
bank notes, including 3,000 English
sovereigns. The price paid for the
Goldsboro was $17,o00.
Bailey secured at Puerto Cortez reg
istrv for her and papers for himself
as a Honduran citizen. He further
obtained permission for the landing of
the steamer's cargo on the ground that
the goods were the property of Hon
duran citizens, and he had already
purchased a banana plantation of 12,
000 acres of which 5,000 acres were
under cultivation, paying $20,000 in
gold for the land. Then he sailed
for Ceiba and Tela, where a little la
ter the Goldsboro was overhauled by
the Tatumbia. She had begun to dis
charge her cargo but it is said that
the whole cargo,’ with the exception
of 400 cases - about 30 tons, had been
recovered and that those cases were
under guard and would he brought
north later
The ship without countrv and flying
the flag of the United States by per
mission, is in a bedraggled condition,
The vessel needs general overhauling,
all the paint being off and the decks
in bad condition.
8 MEN HILLED AND 20 INJURED.
By the Explosion of a Boiler in a
pelling Mill.
York, Pa.—Eight men were killed,
nearly a score more or less seriously
injured and thousand of dollars’ worth
of property damaged by the explosion
of a boiler in the York rolling mill.

ward Figer, Marietta, Pa.
The boiler, which was located in
the center of the mill, exploded with¬
out a moment’s warning.
The mill had been closed down for
about a week and two score of men
were engaged in making repairs to an
engine. The men were working close
to the boiler and when the explosion
occurred not one of them was able
to make his escape.
The shock was so terrific that it
demolished a large portion of the mill
and sent heavy pieces of twisted iron
and metal in all directions.

DEBATED COKSTITtlTICN
Of the United State*—No Better Gov¬
erned Than Empires.
London, England.—The “constitu
-ion” congress which has been in ses¬
sion at the Franco-British exhibition
discussing safeguards for the various
ha’s closed with a debate on tho con
stitution of the United States. During
lhe course of the discussion Professor
Albeit Venn Dicey of Oxford referred
to what he described as a “melancholy
paradox. ’ He said that, while the
United States started with an advan¬
tage unknown in any other country—
with a constitution designed with
more care, more skill and mote suc
cess than almost any other constitu
tion deliberately designed by man—
yet the candid American citizen would
say that, on the whole, they are little
better governed than the best Europe¬
an state; while the candid European
critic would put it that the United
States is not much worse governed
than the best states of Europe. That
was the paradox of a country filled
with noble people wh6 were governed
in a way that would not for a moment
be tolerated in Paris, London or Ber¬
lin.
The city of Washington is well ad¬
ministered, continuel Professor Dicey,
because it was not democratically gov¬
erned. It is governed by commission¬
ers appointed by congress, a body not
nearly so democratic as the crown of
England. Professor Dicey expressed
admiration for the supreme court,
which he said was “one of the most
successful institutions,” but he doubt

Eight Arrests Made.
Birmingham, Ala.—Three men were
instantly killed and eleven injured,
two of whom will probably die, when
striking miners fired into a passenger
train on the Birmingham Mineral rail¬
road at Blocton, Ala.
The dead are: Conductor Joe T. Col
line; O. Z. Dent, deputy sheriff; Wil¬
lard’Howell, non-union miner. The in¬
jured are: Major F. 11. Dodge, super¬
intendent of safety, Tennessee Coal

The train was a special bearing
non-union men to the Blocton mines
under guard of soldiers and deputies.
On the outskirts of the town the en¬
gineer suddenly saw a log across the
track and at once a fusilaife was fired
into the train. The engineer did not
stop, but let the cowcatcher throw
the log from the track and put on
full speed. The place where the at¬
tack was made* was in a cut, the
ground being on a level with the low¬
er part of the windows. The assail¬
ants behind the rocks above poured
down a murderous fire directly into
the windows and at the engineer.
Practically every window in the train
was broken, and' shots struck all parts
of the engine and cab. The train pro¬
ceeded to Blocton and tlie dead and
injured were returned to Birming¬
ham.
Dogs were hurried to the scene, and
took trails through the woods direct¬
ly to the union quarters. Eight men I
were arrested and other arrests are
expected.
Governor Comer held a hurried con¬
ference with Lieutenant Colonel Hub¬
bard, commanding the militia, and all¬
other , company was hurried to Bloc

The trouble caused widespread in¬
dignation, and a general demand is
being made that more strenuous ac¬
tion be taken looking to the preser¬
vation of order.
ENGLAND’^ mm WISHES.
Papers Comment on Visit of Fleet to
New Zealand.
London, England.—The arrival of
the American Atlantic fleet at Auck¬
land divides the attention of the edi¬
torial writers on the newspapers with
King Edward's visit to Germany. The
most cordial wishes are expressed
for the success of the visit of the
Americans and its political signifi¬
cance is fully discussed. The Daily
Telegraph says:
“Nothing but good can come of an
historic incident like this. So closely
are the interests of Great Britain and
America intertwined that it is obvi
ous the moral to draw from the i
cruise is that it sensibly promotes the j
principles of The Hague peace confer- [
ence and makes people breathe more
easily in the confident hope for infer- 1
national tranquility. The historian
of the future will lay his finger upon
this epoch-making event as pregnant
with mighty consequences. 1
The cruise of the American battle-,
ships marks in a most decisive fash¬
ion the emergence of the United
States as no longer a western bu f as
cosmolic power. :
