6 WITHAM PLANS TO KEEP COTTON UP WANTS BANKERS TO MEET TO SECURE JOO WAREHOUSES IN EACH STATE AND BOND THEM. Method Wonld Then Be t* Lend Money to Farmers on Cottotl Stored In the Warehonaen, W hich Wonld Be Safeguarded Against Eire—Bank* Wonld Corner Ctton anti Make It Bring Ten Ceuta. 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. opene¥alecoyTetter 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. AT NEW ORLEANS.

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 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" MAY HAVE BEEN SET.
