Senator Smith Says Low Priced
Cotton Is Thing of Past.
If Fight Is Made to Lower Prices the
Crop Next Year Will Not Exceed
This Season’s.
Florence, 8. C.~ln an interview
on the cotton situation Senator K. D.
Smith, leader of the Cotton Assocla
tion, said that the fight being made
on cotton prices prevailing now will
determine the size of ' next year's
crop. It the prices are forced down
between now and April the crop will
not exceed this one,
Senator Smith said:
“The situation is such that has
never before existed in the history
of cotton. Farmers have had gooa
prices in a debt-paying season. ‘l'hey
have paid their debts, and tnc cot
ton now held is free from all ex
penses, such as porrowing, warchous
ing, interest and other usual charges)
The farmers own their cotton, and
the law of supply and demand Wil
alohe govern its movement. There
i 8 no necessity to sell, ror they have,
also, madesthe Dbest corn crop in his
tory, besides large hay and other
crops. Banks have loney c<ven to
lend to New York, tvaile this seasol
of the year has usually been the bor
rowing .one.
“The spinners do not seem to umn
derstand the situation, and unless
they realize it soon, and readjust the
prices of cotton goods to meet the
price of cotton, tiey will sutfer fam
ine again next year.
“Low-priced cotton is a thing of the
past. Farmers are independent and
through the intervention of Provi
dence and education along lines ol
their own interest. Such conditions
will prevail until the world finds a
substitute for southern cotton, which
it was not able to do even when cot
ton was bringing §51.90 in gold, with
gold at a premium, $1 being equal to
$2, a point in greenbacks.”

Soldiers and Sailors Celebrate Christ
mas at Expense of Government.
Washington, D. C.—Every soldier
and sailor in the service of the Unit
ed States will celebrate Christmas at
the expense of the government. This
year the government will give 17,00 u
sallors of the Atlantic battleship fleet,
which is a large percentage of those
in the service, an unusually fine
spread at New York.
Last year the fishes enjoyed the
dinner designed for the sailors. The
navy department had sent out aboard
the ocean steam Republic a large
quantity of cranberries, nuts, apples,
turkeys and other Christmas dainclce,
valued at $61,191, for the battleship
fleet at Gibraltar, then on its cruise
around the world. The Republic sank,
after a collision, and so did the Christ
mas dinners.
A policy has been adopted in the
navy of taking the bluejackets pe
riodically to some big port, where
they may enjoy life 1o the tfullest.
The British navy officials claim to
have discovered that, after such pe
riods of hilarity, the sallor is more
contented at sea. They will be start
ed off on their holidays by a big
Christmas dinner, including oyster
cocktails, roast turkey, cranberry
sauce, pumpkin pie, ice cream, assort
ed fruits and nuts, coffee and ci
gars.
In the army, special dinners will be
gerved at the various garrisons and
posts.
PARASITES KILLING BOLL WEEVIL
Encouraging Report to Congress by
Secretary Wilson.
Washington, D. C.—The hearings on
the estimates submitted for the agri
cultural department for the next
finance year have been closed by the
bhouse committee on garciulture, and
when congress reassembles early in
January, the actual work of framing
an dreporting the agricultural appro
priation bill will be begun. 1t will
prgbably carry approximately $13,000,
000, exclusive of continuing perma
nent appropriations.
In the course of the hearings ou
the bill at which Secretary Wilson
and his bureau of assistants appear
ed, it was brought out that the cot
ton boll weevil parasites have been
very busy, and several species of the
parasites in some sections have de
gtroyed 50 per ceat of the weevils.
The scientists, it is testified, are
finding the boll weevill more difficult
to control in the Mississippi delta than ‘
in the ulands, partly because the wee
vils breeds more rapidly and has
more opportunity for hiding away and
hibernating in the delta.
SQUIRRELS SPREAD BUBONIC PLAGUE.
The Government May Begin a Cru
sade to Destroy Squirrels.
Wwashington, D. C. — The possible
gpread of bubonic plague through
squirrels to such an extent as to be
come a very real menace to sections
where no case has yet appeared, has
been called to the attention ot the
house committee on agriculture by
Becretary Wilson.
The public health bureau has asked
the biological bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture to devise some
means for destroying the squirrels,
through which, according to ~ Chiet
Merriam, of the bureau, in has

President of Nicaragua Quits Office to
1 Avoid Bloodshed.
Managua, Nicaragua.~Joe ' Santos
Zelaya has resigned trom the prosi
dency of Nicaragua, He placed his
‘reslxuauon in the hands of cohgress.
Apparently there was no other course
iror him to take., 'l'hne people were
‘at last aroused, The guns of.the rev
olutionists threatened., 'l'he warships
;of the United States lay in Nicara
guan ports, /
~ Managua has been seething for
Idays. The spirit of revolt has spread
even to the gates of the palace, Ze-
Jlaya surrounded himself with an arm
ed guard, Unchecked, the populace
‘have marched through the streets,
crying for the end of the old, pra
claiming the new regime,
There i 8 no douwnt that congress
will act quickly on his resignation,
for the people have demandea It
Accompanying his resignation, Ze
laya sent the rollowing message 1o
COngress:
" “y'he painful circumstances in which
the country is plunged call tor acts
of abnegation and patriotism on the
part of good citizens, who are the wit
nesses of the oppression of the repub
lic by the heavy hand of fate. I'he
country is staggering under a shame
less revolution which threatens the
nation’s sovereignty and a loreign na
tion unjustly intervenes in our ai
fairs, publicly providing the rebels
with arms, which has only resulted 1m
their being deteated everywhere
through the heroism of our troops.
“l'o avoid turther bloodshed, and
for the reason that the revolutionists
have declared that they would put
down their arms when I surrender the
executive power, 1 hereby place in the
hands of the national assembly the
abandonment of the remainder of my
term of ottice, which is to be filled by
a substitute of their choosing, with
the hope that this will result in good
to Nicaragua, the re-establishment ot
peace, and particularly the suspen
sion of the hostility of the United
States, to which I do not wish to
give a pretext for intervention.”
News of the president’s action
spread through the city, and soon
great crowds moved through the
streets, = shouting for the United
States, Estrada and the revolution.
United States to Press Zelaya.
washingten, L. C.—News of tle
resignation of President Zelaya of
Nicaragua, was received with evident
satisfaction at the state department
and elsewhere here, but not one syl
lable of comment could be elicited
from any responsible officer of the
administration.
1t is said, however, that Zelaya’s
resignation, welcome as it is, has by
no means removed him from the at
tention of this government. Secre
tary Knox’s recent letter of dismis
sal to Senor Rodriguez, the Nirara
guan charge d’affaires, plainly indi
cated the intention of the United
States to hold Zelaya and his circle
of advisers personally responsible for
the killing of the two Americans, Can
non and Groce, and nobody here be
lieves that Zelaya’s retirement mate
rially mitigates his personal peril, as
a defendant before the bar ar which
Mr. Knox has arraigned him on the
charge substantiaily of murder in the
first degree. .
Bluefields, Nicaragua.—The Ameri
can grip on Bluefields was tightened
when Commander Shipley of the
cruiser Des Moines, on the authority
of Rear Admiral Kimball, in command
of the American forces in Nicaragua,
issued a proclamation formaly stating
that no fighting would be allowed at
Bluefields.
THREE KILLED IN WRECK.
Central Train Collided With Train on
the M. & B.
Macon, Ga. — Three persons were
killed, one fatally injured and seven
more or less seriously hurt when a
Central of Georgia northbound pas
senger train at Harris City, (8,
crashed into the combination second
class, baggage and mail car of trisn
No. 42, eastbound, ot the Macon and
Birmingham road.
Engineer Rogers of the Central,
shortly after the werck, was arrested
on a warrant charging him with man
slaughter. He waived preliminary
hearing, and is out on bond. He
claims the track was rendered slick
by the frost and that the sand pipe
failed to discharge sand on the
gmooth rails, and for this reason he
was unable to control his engine. He
also claims that his alrbrakes were
defective. Passengers on the train
say the engineer ran by two stations
before he reached Harris City, and
as he approached Harris City the en
gine was running at a high rate ot
speed.

Liquors, the court says, are legitimate
property. A rehearing was denied.
