WIDOW OF YOUNG WAS ON STAND NAN PATTERSON GREW PALE whe> she saw the woman face TO FACE. The Widow \Va Wanted in Order Tlint She Might Identity a Letter That Won to Be Admitted mi Evi dence in the Cane— Annin the Story of the Qnarrel Between Sian Patternon nod Young in the Sn- Inon in Told. New York, Dec. 14.—Mrs. Young, widow of Caesar Young, was a wit ness to-day in the criminal branch ot the Supreme Court, where Nan Pat terson is on trial before Justice Ver non M. Davis, charged with Young's murder. Although she was on the stand only long enough to identify a letter to which another witness had referred, Mrs. Young's presence there develop ed one of the most intense situations of the trial. As the wife of the dead man took the stand. Nan Patterson became deathly pale, but watched intently every movement of the wit ness during her brief examination. The letter which Mrs. Young iden tified had been produced by Bernard L. McKean, one of Young’s brothers in-law, who testified that Young had mentioned it in a conversation with Miss Patterson early in May and that Miss Patterson had said the letter was written by her sister. Mrs. J. Mor gan Smith. The letter has not yet been read in evidence. Quarrel in the Saloon. Another of Young's brothers-in-law, William Luce, told ofwhat occurred be tween Young and Miss Patterson at their meeting in 'a saloon the night be fore Young was killed, and,John Crow ley, a cab driver, repeated his story of having seen Young slap the prisoner’s face during a quarrel on the street that same night. Assistant District Attorney Rand to day withdrew his request that the grand jury subpoena served on J. Morgas Smith be admitted in evidence. Mr. Rand said he was actuated in with drawing his request by information which satisfied him that the admis sability of the subpoena was not free from doubt. At the conclusion of Mr. Rand's statement, and upon sugges tion of the attorney for the defense, Justice Davis directed the jury to dis regard all references made to the miss ing witness. William Luce, brother-in-law of Caesar Young, said that on the night preceding the death of Young, Luce and Young met Nan Patterson in a saloon and that Young and the wom an quarreled there. Luce heard Young tell her he would get her a cottage. Young told her that he was going away and she replied that he was not going. He told her that she did not know the name of the boat he was leaving on. She answered that she would not give him the satisfaction of telling him the name of the boat. She also said: "Don't get up early and go aboard the boat, because you cannot hide from me, even if you get into the hold. You won't go away.’” Young was excited frtid the woman was crying. Aftgr the talk Young" ptft Nan Patterson'in a cab and sent her off alone. Ldce said he neither struck nor kissed her. STRUCK BY A TRAIN. \nrron Encnnc of Two Men frein Dentil at Vnldoota. Valdosta, Ga., Dec. 14.—A distressing accident occurred at the Hill avenue crossing of the Georgia Southern to day. Messrs S. M. Standley and J. H. Coffey, the superintendent of the tivo state convict camps in this county, were driving out to Mr. Standley’s camp. A long line of freight cars was on a side track, leaving just enough space for vehicles to pass. As they passed between the ears and on the main line a freight engine came along, pushing some flat cars. The cars were upon the men before they knew it. The collision of the cars with the horse and buggy resulted in smashing the buggy to pieces and badly injur ing the horse. Mr. Standley was thrown on top of the flat car and badly bruised, while Mr. Coffey was caught under the car end dragged about thirty feet before the train could be brought to a stop. His heavy overcoat became tangled in the brake beams or he might have been killed instantly. Hi* back was badly Wrenched and his body bruised. He was taken from his perilous posi tion in an unconscious condition, and it was thought that he would die, but he later rallied and is resting easily now. He was carried to the home of Dr. J. C. Wilson, the physician of the camps, where he is receiving every possible attention. bodieswereTbrn BY HAND GRENADES.

ONE SMALL BUG CAUSES THIS T 0 DO. Continued from First Page. ed and incorporated as a part of the resolution. It is as follows: “The result of the experience of all the scientists and practical farmers in the boll weevil area up to the present time is that cotton can be made even under boll weevil infestation if the farmers are properly organized. The Cultural Method. “This means the adoption of what is known as the cultural method. In order that every farmer in the South may have the benefit of this cultural method, we recommend: VThat the president of this conven tion shall select five members, who, with himself and the secretary, shall constitute the general executive com mittee. “That the vice president of each state shall select six prominent men from each state, who shall constitute a state executive committee. “The state executive committee shall organize each county in their respec tive states by appointing a chairman, who, in turn, will select an executive committee to assist him. “The county executive committee will enroll the names of all the cotton farmers of their country, sending the same to the state executive commit tee, who will, in turn, report to the national executive committee. “We recommend that each state raise a sufficient fund among the cotton farmers, merchants and bankers to carry on tills work. To Kench Each Planter. "We recommend that the various state legislatures and Department of Agriculture, through the bureau of plant industry and the division of en tomology, co-operate in the campaign of education with the state executive committee and the county executive committee, to reach each individual planter, as they have done in Texas, and that a sufficient appropriation be made by Congress to provide the nec essary literature and instructions to carry out the cultural methods. “Until some remedy is found which will destroy the boll weevil and elim inate him from the cotton fields of the South to make a cotton crop will depend upon the Individual efforts of each cotton farmer, and without this organization, the government cannot aid the farmers as it should. “As 72 per cent, of the cotton farm ers are tenants, it is absolutely imper ative that they and their landlords be organized. As 50 per cent, of the cot ton farmers are negroes, it is more important that they be organized, as the boll weevil will affect the tenants and negroes more than the landlords or those who own their own farms.” DANGERS TO COTTON GROWING IN THE SOUTH. Ennmerated by D. A. Tompkins In an Address at Shreveport. Shreveport, La., Dec. 14.—An address of D. A. Tompkins of Charlotte, N. C., was read to the National Cotton Con vention to-day, Mr. Tompkins being unavoidably detained at his home city: The following is an abstract of the address: “While the cotton growing business of the South is as prosperous to-day as it ever was In the whole history of Its development, there Is some quostion-whether this prosperity is not part of the manifestation of an imminent danger. The continued mo nopoly of the production of the great bulk of the world's cotton is at pres ent threatened in the Houth in three different ways: “First. The most important of these menaces I* the boll weevil. "Second. It Is the movement of cot ton consuming countries to foster and mi Making Friends Every Day.

"Third. The constant draft being made upon the labor of the cotton fields by the ever increasing manufac tures of the South. "England and Germany, assisted by France, Italy. Switzerland and some oth<?r countries, threaten to become a competitor in the production of cot ton in their colonies. If we would con tinue to hold the monopoly we must at once be up and doing, not only to hinder the progress of the boll wee vil, but to drive it out of the Amer ican territory which it already occu pied. This much to save the fields of growing cotton. We must also de velop immigration from Europe to the cotton growing states. We must have more people to replace those who have been drawn by the new South ern manufacturing interests from the fields. In addition to these, we must also find a way to supply our cotton crops to the markets of the world in quantities that are the average of pro duction instead of in the way of a feast one year and a famine the next. To stop the progress of the boll wee vil and destroy him. means appro priations by the general government and also by each of the cotton states, that will be sufficient to employ the best talent and to execute the means which they recommend. I have no sympathy with the complaint of those who have heretofore been employed on this subject that the boll weevil could not be hindered or destroyed. We certainly want to put men to work on the subject who believe that the boll weevil can be hindered and can be destroyed. The remedy against the second evil is very simple. The scar city that has come about in labor must be remedied by turning white Euro pean emigration to this country. The third difficulty of offering the world a big crop, then a little crop and then a moderate crop, and then a big crop, and so on, will have to be remedied by devising a system of warehouses in which the surplus of a big crop may be kept and carried over to a time when it is necessary to supplement a small crop. This can be done and it will be done. Cotton should never vary from 8 to 16 cents in any one year. There is ample capital in this country to carry stored cotton at a fair rate of interest, and not have it vary 100 per cent, on speculative move ments. Nothing is needed to do this, and thus get averages instead of ex tremes, except the facilities to put cotton in shape to be a good bank security.” Committee Appointed. To-night in the parlors of the Camdo Hotel, the first steps were taken to wards the system and scheme of or ganization recommended by the Na tional Cotton convention, through the AVilson resolutions approved to-day. Chairman E. S. Peters of Texas, "Sec retary J. H. Connell also of Texas, and several other prominent members of the Texas and Louisiana delegation were in the meeting. They agreed that the vice presidents of the respective states appoint each an executive com mittee for each state and report their appointment to the general secretary. It was further agreed that in each state the state vice president and the executive committee should proceed to organize under the Wilson plan. Mr. Peters appointed as members of the General Executive Committee: Paul M. Potts, Natchitoches, La.; O. P. Pyle, Mineola, Tex.; Stanley H. Watson, Houston, Tex.; J. A. B.

SONS OF THE SOUTH DINED AT THE WALDORF-ASTORIA Occasion Was the Nineteenth Annual Dinner of the Southern Society of New Yorh. New York, Dec. 14.—Three hundred and fifty sons of the South gathered in the main ball room of the Waldorf- Astoria to-night at the nineteenth an nual dinner of the Southern Society of New York, and the boxes were filled with ladles, the relatives and guests of the diners. Enthusiasm, was aroused by thd playing of Southern airs, and diners rising to their feet and cheering wildly when “My Maryland” and “Dixie” were played. Among those at the guests' table with President Harrison, who presid ed, were Mayor McClellan, who re sponded to the toast, “The City of New York,” Col. Robert Gingham of Asheville, N. C„ who told of-“ The Past Status of the South, the Deca dence of That Status and Its Restora tion;” George S. Graham of Philadel phia, whose theme was, “The South— My Country," and Dr. E. A. Aider man of the University of Virginia, who spoke on “The Supreme Need of the South,” and the presidents of a number of local societies. Presideht Harrison, In his introduc tory remarks, reviewed the history of the South during the past year. In conclusion he said: "The South stands for domestic vir tues. It stands for hospitality. It stands for democratic liberty. It stand for tajrlff for revenue only and not robbery or extortion. There are many things like these on which the South is solid and In those things let us remain solid.” McClellan nnl the Mar. Mayor McClellan, who was then In troduce, said In part: “You people of the South a cen tury ago fought for your Ideals and you won. Still later you fought and the world said you lost. Lee and Johnston and Stonewall Jackson were Idealists, every one, and so were Wash ington and Jefferson, and their asso ciates. Hut of some of these, say you, their dreams came true, while the othera dreamed In vain. Ah, me, no man has dreamed or lived In vain who has sought for lofty Inspiration. The spirit of 'tl, like the splilt of *76, was idealism, and now that we can look buck after nearly half a century arid see that unhappy fratri cidal strife, through the vista of years, we can appreciate that In the broad and true sense there wars no van- Odors m Perspiration J£S J,r 2JsUa**’* Royal Foot Wash Mop* Otadng. cure# Sweating. lulling Swollen.

Robert Bingham In the course of his address, referred to the negro. "After all, he suld, “the world has found that he Is still a negro and It grieves me In a way, to see some of our Northern friends forced to put the negro on a political and social equality and occasionally as a super ior. If the North would let the negro alone the people of the South, who best understand the colored man. would in time make him a useful and Industrious citizen.” M'antu No Solid Sooth. George S. Graham, district attorney of Philadelphia, took exception to the statement of the president of the so ciety that he hoped the solid South would remain so.. He declared that the South had no greater enemy than this expression and that It Is continued so by external pressure of a “nagging North." Remove this pressure, he argued, and the atoms will reach their proper po litical place, perhaps In the form of the party. When the Inference Is removed the Houth will take Its rightful place side by side with Pennsylvania and sometimes by New York. Dr. E. A. Alderman, president of the University of Virginia, declared that the South must recover its national spirit; that Its chief difficulty Is the need of men trained to the minute, such as It once possessed. He declared that the quality Of the leadership of the South Is weak and the crying need Is for trained men. For their training, he said, great Institutions of learning are requisite, and for them there should be groat endowments. (•ruliniii Mint** Annual Address. Hon. George S. Graham of Philadel phia delivered the annual address which was one of the most brilliant ever made before the society. Mr. Graham Is a Northern man and he re ferred to this fact In beginning his address. Further on he said: “My toast Is, “The South—My Country.” Let mo emphasise the per sonal possessive and claim ownership with you In the grand and glorious Houth. It Is my country as much as It Is yours. Equally so the North Is your country as much as mine. I would have every man, wotnun . and child, whether dwelling In * lb# East, the West, the Houth or the North, to claim to-night the whole land, let geographical lines be oblit erated, and let us view our common heritage as It lies between the Inland seas on the north and the Gulf of Mexico on the south, and extends from the wave-tossed Atlantic to the far horizon beyond the Philippines on the calmer Pacific, and let us all say with loyal hearts—my country! Every state, every territory, every Island of the sea Is mine, is yours, Is our be loved country. I voice the best, the truest and the noblest sentiment of those from whom I stand to-night, when, figuratively speaking. I turn my eyes to the land of cotton, a land of chivalry, poetry and song, a land of brave men and beautiful women, and with a sense of proprietorship, born of our relations as copatriots and fellow citizens, exclaim of the sunny South—“my country!" Henceforth, If we adopt this possessive and hold sin cerely the views which I have uttered, we cannot live apart each for himself, but whatever Interests you will Inter est us; whatever affects you will af fect us; your prosperity will be our prosperity, and our Interests and pros perity will likewise be yours. We are all parts of one great body politic, and each part is as necessary to all the others as the parts of the human body. The eye cannot say to the ear I have no use for you. Neither can the hand say to the foot I have no need for thee. A fearless and gifted leader from the state of Georgia, speaking In this state at a New Eng land dinner nearly twenty years ago, brought a message from the South that was delivered with glorious pow er and splendid eloquence. His mes sage was one of peace. He exclaimed in language never to be forgotten, and which I now repeat: " 'I am glad the omniscient God held the force of battle In His almighty hand, and that human slavery was swept forever from American soli—the American Union saved from the wreck of war.’ He brought this message to us from consecrated ground. He demanded: ‘What answer ha* the North to this message? Will she per mit the prejudices of war to remain In the hearts of the conqueror when It has died in the hearts of the conquer ed?' That question thrilled the North. That message touched and stirred the hearts of the people everywhere. It has brought its answer, and the spirit of Henry W. Grady, that brave and patriotic American, whose utterances we quote because they were the voice of prophecy. If he can view this land of ours to-day, and gather with pre ternatural power of hearing from the busy hum of human Industries untl Interest* the notes of patriotic thought and sentiment pervading our people, must rejoice to-night In the answer. The hand from the sold lei* 1 s heart which Grant offered to Lee at Ap pomattox was ayrnbollcal, and repre sents to-night the hand of the peo ple of the North extended In cordial hearty handclasp to the people of the Houlh. The graves of the gray and the graves of the blue tire each crown ed with flowers, for they were equally heroes. “In ths clearer light which suceed ed discussion and conflict It Is now seen that In Ihe Inscrutable wisdom of God the Houth ss thwarted In her purpose, honestly pursued, end her bra vs armies were defeated |n order that she might be emancipated slid the only peril menacing the Union might be removed. When the order of assault upon the system of slavery came, the South alone was placed In a position primarily to suffer. Was it any wonder that men whose social system, teachings and property were alike Inwrought In the system of slav ery could not see clearly Its evils and be led voluntarily to sacrifice so much for its effacement? No! Had we of the North stood related to the South as you were, we would In all human probability have stood as you did and fought as you fought. “But to-day, blossoming with anew prosperity, filled with the energy of anew birth, measuring up to their full merit and her wonderful re sources and possibilities, the South un derstands that beyond human thought and action the hand of God rested on thp wheels of Providence and has wrought out for her a far greater and grander deliverance —an emancipation —and the result is unflinchingly and patriotically accepted. A Supreme Be ing was dealing with the affairs of men, and he builded for them better than they knew. “I wish to emphatically deny to-night that there Is any ‘recrudescence of sectionalism.' I wish, on the other hand, to emphatically affirm that there Is a renaissance of friendship and sym pathy. "Brethren of the South, let us unite for the renaissance of American unity; let us turn our faces forever against every form in which an attempt may ■be made to revive sectionalism; let us adopt as our own the Immortal lan guage of Patrick Henry, when he said: ‘The boundaries of the several colonies have been effaced; the distinctions be tween Virginians, New Yorkers, Penn sylvanians and New Englanders are no more. I am not a Virginian, but an American.’ Regarding the past as gone, we will let the dead past bury Its dead and turn our eyes to the hori zon of the future with high hope and courage and a determination to make our nation within successful and pros perous, and without respected and hon ored. Truly to-night, more so than when quoted by Webster sixty years ago, and by Grady twenty years ago, I can adopt from them and use the words of the poet: Those opposed eyes, Which, like the meteors of a troubled heaven, All of one nature, of on* substance bred. Did lately meet In th' Internecine shock. Shall now, in mutual well-beseeming ranks, March all one way.” POHTF.H—DEATKIt, LIVE OAK, FLA. Live Oak, Fla..
