Cooper fn his behalf, he will get I|is wish, and it will take an act of the legislature or 'some action just as strong to prevent him from paying the death penalty at the end of a rope. After twice taking the old man’s case to the supreme court of the United States, and all tlje time having Rawlins quoted In the newspapers as not appreciating these efforts, Attorney Cooper has now decided to let Rawlins hang. If hang he wants to.

Their father, together with the ne gro, Alf Moore, In sentenced to die on, December 4, and the date set for the execution of the two boys is oi cumber 7. Attorney Cooper declares this arrangement only gives him thn day* in which to work for the twy and he says further that the fixing « the date at this time was nothing more than a scheme to block his efforts. Even at that he says he has not quit, and that If the prison commission does not take some action In the near future he will take the cai>cs of the boys again in the courts and prevent the high rherlff of Lowndes from springing the. tivp on December 7. Tomorrow Attorney Cooper Is going to Valdosta for a conference with old man J. O.

J. Shortall Is the complainant, be wrote the letter on October 22 at Hope- dale. It was forwarded on the ship Virginian Lake to Sydney. N. 8., where It was mailed to friends In Ottawa. 8hip Slung Three Rudders. Shortall writes that conditions had become bad when -they reached Hopedale that the mate, four sailors and four firemen refused to go further on the ship, which- wee {leaking badly through its crushed stern. The Roose velt had alung Its third, rudder, which was but a poor makeshift. Two rud ders were carried away on the down passage. The members of the crew had little to eat and were living In squalor, short all around. Thoir experience* were worse, he wrote, than the hard ships they endured In the Polar re giona. Would Not Go Again, Shortall says they had the hardest time on the voyage of any crew that ever was afloat. He declares that none of them would go north again under any circumstances. One of the crew of tho Virginian Lake, who boarded the Roosevelt at Hopedale, stated the crew told him the vessel liud three boilers when It left Sydney, but while off Greenland two of them burst. The crew alto said the ship was not strong. It wus totally unfit for Arctic work, and aa one of them put It, ’’after getting Into heavy ice Jt came together Ilk* an- accordion playing muelc.’’ Peary is C.riticizsd. The Roosevelt, It Is declared. Is si together too light for forcing Its way Un outfit floes to the pole. On the way north the men said that they landed part of the stores, Peary telling them that In fifteen months there would be a relief ship sent to them. Rut such a ship never came, on two meals a day.

MORGAN WANTS ANTI-NEGRO PLANK IN PARTY PLA TEORM Alabama Statesman Says South Should Demand It. Washington, Nov. 20.—’’Resolved that the Democratic party of the United States Is, and has always bben, .a white man's party.” This plank Senator J, T. Morgan, of Alabama, believes should be Inserted in the next national platform. He goes further. He believes that some state, through Its delegate* assembled, should press this plank before the convention's committee on resolutions, with the dec laration that the delegates will with draw In case It Is not considered. Alabama to Insist. He would urge that the plank come from a delegation representing a North ern state, but If such Is not the wish of a delegation, rather than have the subject master eliminated, he advocates its presentalfon by a Southern state. His own state, Alabama, comes flrst on the alphabetical list, and the high re gard In which the senator’s views nre held In that state insures that Its dele gates to the next national convention plank. Tb*t they will be enforced by other Southern states goes without saying. At the St. Louis national convention In l»0t a auggeitlon was made along similar lines, though not so ciear-cul, brief and forcible. The resolution com mittee there promptly threw It out. The Eastern contingent, having nomi nated the candidate, was conceded tho right to write the platform, and to the disgust of many Southern politicians the negro question was Ignored. . “Would Carry Presidency.” ‘Should the delegates of ’any one state submit this plank, with a decla ration of withdrawal If It Is rejected, It would carry through,” said Senator Aforgan last night. “Moreover, It would carry the presidency. It woul,. d -v-:op every other Issue. In the So- ihen states the question Is ncut- to’ .y and such a declaration on Fit pat of the Democratic national cot on 'on would bring the negro quest'-t, to the people of the North, whr sooner or later, will have to meet ,i race to face, Just as we of the South 'are doing to day." On several roads almost chaotic con ditions prevail. On the Nashville, Chattanooga and 81. Louis railroad trains are being de toured over the tracks of the Louisville and Nashville system via McKenzie and Humboldt, Tennessee. Southern railway trains are being detoured over the same route by way of Chsttanoogu. For the first time In the history of the road the tracks of the Illinois Central railroad near Jackson, Tenn., are cov ered with water and trains-are being detoured via Holly Springs, Miss. To add to the seriousness of the sit uation, the weather Is becoming bitter cold and much suffering Is anticipated.

Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any "medicine” of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whisky quickly causes Irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease In the great majority of caeca If persisted- In.
