Convention Called.
Atlanta, Dec. 12.—W. S. Wltham of
Atlanta, who is prominently identified
with forty to fifty state banks, has
arranged for a convention, to be held
here on Jan. 3, of the presidents of .’he
state bankers' associations of the cot
ton growing states for the purpose of
considering plans for cornering the
remainder of the cotton crop and push
ing up the price so that the farmers
will get 10 cents for it.
Mr. Witham has been in correspond
ence with these bank officers for some
time on this subject and has at last
arranged for a meeting which they all
appear to think will be productive of
much good.
Mr. Witham's plan is that the state
bankers' associations in the cotton
states shall secure control of about 100
warehouses in each state, equip them
with automatic sprinklers for the pur
pose of reducing insurance, have them
bonded and place them in charge of
bonded officials. A uniform rate of
storage is to be arranged throughout
the South.
Farmers depositing their cotton In
these warehouses will be issued re
ceipts negotiable at any state bank.
Thus they can secure necessary ad
vances, and the capital and surplus of
hundreds of state banks will be em
ployed in holding cotton for the farm
ers until the demand shall become
such as to push the price up to ten
cents.
It is proposed to secure the co-op
eration of the Southern spinners and
arrange to supply them with cotton at
a fixed rate throughout the year. The
banks will profit, it is stated, by se
curing increased deposits from the
farmers and those who own the cot
ton.
It is a gigantic scheme, Mr. Witham
says, but a simple one, and one in
which he feels confident of success
once the co-operation of the state
bankers of the cotton states is secured.

Anl n Former Mmro Candidate for
rongresK Mint Pay the Penalty.
Charleston, S. C., Dec. 12.—1n the
United States District Court to-day
Aaron P. Prioleau, recently a Repub
lican candidate for Congress In the
First district, was found guilty on a
charge of tampering with the mails,
opening and detaining a certain mark
ed decoy letter, which had been plac
ed in a pouch on his car, while a
postal clerk on a branch of the At
lantic Coast Dine.
The alleged offense occurred in July,
1902, and the trial was several times
postponed on account of the illness of
the principal witness for the United
States, Inspector Smyth, who has been
very ill. He returned from Arizona to
Charleston this week and gave tes
timony which apparently was conclu
sive.
The Congressional aspirant, who is
a black negro, was in court and was
represented by two negro lawyers.
First the jury came in and reported
that it stood 11 to 1. and the one had
“reasonable doubts.” Judge Brawley
explained the meaning of the term and
sent them back, and later a verdict
of guilty with recommendation to
mercy was brought in. Among the
jurymen was one black negro. A mo
tion for new trial will be argued to
morrow.
Three candidates were in the con
gressional race for First district,
George S. Legare, Democrat, to suc
ceed himself, J. A. Noland, white, Re
publican and Aaron R. Prioleau. col
ored, Republican. Each of the Itepub
ltcan candidates received 95 votes and
Legate 1,861 in Charleston county.
Among the petit Jurymen drawn for
this term was J. A. Noland, but he
was drawn previous to the Prioleau
case, and did not therefore have to
confront his opponent.

MISSIONERS AT ST. PAUL’S
HAD LARGE CONGREGATIONS.
Father Huntington and Hnghson
Arousing Much interest.
Fathers Huntington and Hughson of
the Order of the Holy Cross, had a
large congregation at the Mission
services at St. Paul’s Church last
night. There were four services dur
ing the day beginning with the cele
bration of the Holy Communion at
7:30 o’clock. There was a large con
gregation at the 10:30 o'clock service
and at the children’s service in the
afternoon over one hundred and fifty
children gathered. At the night serv
ice the ministers from several Sa
vannah congregations were present.
The interest which began with the
opening of the Mission on Sunday
promises to continue through it.
The sermon last night was by
Father Huntington. His subject was
’’Conversion.” He discussed the vari
ous forms of conversion, the circum
stances and conditions under which
conversion takes place, Its effect upon
people .of various temperaments, what
conversion is, what it means and its
necessity to the Christian life.
Father Huntington is a forceful
speaker, appealing directly to his con
gregation in a simple yet effective man
ner, and every word he utters conveys
a meaning.
The “instructions” were given by
Father Hughson following the line of
discussion begun the night before on
"What is needed to make you a suc
cess’.’ How shall we know God’s pur
pose?”
Father Hughson is an eloquent and
gifted speaker and his words sank into
the hearts of those who heard him.
The mission will continue until next
week Tuesday. The services to-day
will be the same as yesterday. Father
Hughson preaching to-night and
Father Huntington giving the “in
structions. The children’s service at
4:30 o’clock promises to be a feature
of the Mission.
SAYS JONAH WAS IN A SHIP
NOT IN A WHALE.
Ferrur Fenton's Translation of the
Jonah nn<l ihe Whale Siory.
Rev. H. Stiles Bradley of Trinity
Methodist Church of Atlanta, called
attention Sunday to Ferrar Fenton’s
version of the Jonah and the whale
story as translated from the Hebrew.
According to Ferrar Fenton, who is
regarded one of the most learned of
Biblical scholars and translators.
Jonah was not swallowed by a whale
when cast overboard by sailors, as
recorded in the accepted translation of
the Book of Jonah. Ferrar Fenton
finds in the original Hebrew that Jo
nah was three days and three nights
in the hold of a ship named “The
Great Fish.”
According to his translation Jonah
did not rest in the belly of a fish, a
"whale,” but was picked up by "The
Great Fish.”
During the course of his sermon.
Rev. Mr. Bradley called the attention
of his congregation to this new ver
sion. Dr. Bradley made no comment
on it. It was merely as a matter of
information for his hearers that he
Tead this remarkable translation by
Ferrar Fenton.
In a footnote relative to the differ
ence between the old translation and
the new Ferrar Fenton says:
“Great Fish,” was the name of the
ship mistranslated “whale” in the ver
sion of the Greek translators, whose
blunder has been repeated by all sub
sequent translators, in all languages,
to the perplexity of their readers, un
til I decided to go back to the original
of the prophet in his own Hebrew.”
FIRE ON TWO* FLOORS"

DROVE THE CUBANS
OUT OF LODGE ROOM.
American Golden Eagles Then Pro*
eroded to Organize.
Tampa, Fla., Dec. 12.—Serious
trouble was narrowly averted to
night between the Cuban and Ameri
can members of the secret order' of the
Knights of the Golden Eagle when an
injunction secured by the American
members was served on officers of the
lodge—all Cubans, prohibiting their
exercising the functions of officers any
longer. The lodge has 100 Cuban and
sixteen American members, and the
Americans claim the Cubans were
running things with a high hand, hav
ing by-laws and ritual translated into
and conducting meetings in the Span
ish language. Hence their appeal to
the courts.
When the writ was served at the
meeting a row occurred and the Cu
bans were put to rout, leaving the
lodge room precipitately with the
Americans in sole charge. The latter
proceeded to reorganize.

MINISTERS WERE IN ARMS.
COUNCIL YIELDED AtD CARNIVAL
CO. THREATENS SUIT.
Street Fair Had Reen Derided on
for the Week Before Christmas.
In Deference to the Churches the
Connell Revoked Its Agreement
With the Carnival Company
Which Now Threatens the Council
With a Damage Snit.
Waycross, Ga., Dec. 12.—The action
of the City Council in granting per
mission for a carnival and street fair
to be held the week before Christmas,
created a great stir among the
churches yesterday, and this morning
at a special meeting of Council it was
decided to revoke the action taken
Friday night.
From every pulpit in Waycross the
street fair was condemned, and a ris
ing vote against the carnival was tak
en in nearly every church. Saturday
night and this morning petitions were
circulated requesting the Council to
rescind the license granted the carni
val company, and this morning several
ministers and a large number of busi
ness men were present at the Coun
cil meeting In support of the petitions.
Both sides of the question was heard
before the final rescinding vote was
taken.
It is likely that the city authorities
will have a damage suit on their hands
as a result of the action taken to
day. One of the proprietors of the
carnival company arrived in Waycross
to-night from Cordele, and has em
ployed Judge J. L. Sweat as counsel,
ihe company claims that they have
been put to considerable expense in
advertising the carniyal after the Citv
Council granted it permission to show
In Waycross, and it is said that it
is now too late to arrange with any
other city for the week, which had
been set ajjart for Waycross.
