IV SUE KIKE C. ISU1SM, ntOHIN . EMT Di BALTHWE BY HIS OWN ACTS RIGHT MAN FOR PLACE UCtlER n GOOD PREACHER OF DIVEIWIFIOATION. Left * Not® in Which He Explain •i That Onalanghta of Pr®M, for Oonnectlon Witli Race Tracks and Legislation Relating Thereto Caus ed Him to Take His Life. Oeorge C. Morrison, aged 40, pres ident of the Chicago Title Guarantee and Trust Company, of Baltimore, committed suicide some time during Sundajr night in one of the private -rooms at the iBalUmore Athletic Club. The report to the police says that Hr. Morrison ended his life with gas, which he Inhaled through a tube. Mr. Morrison occupied a conspicuous position In the business and political afalrs of Baltimore, and also was prominently interested In horse rac ing. He left a note explaining the deed The coroner took possession of it and while refusing to make all of ll public at this time, he said the dead man referred to the onslaughts of a yellow newspaper In connection with his interests in the race track at Hadre de Grace, as one reason for Ub \action. TheTuicide of Mr. Morrison cam* tthln a few days of accusations made by Governor Goldsborough. tbat\Mr. Morrison and other leaders of the business and social life ot HarfoKl County had made misrepre eentatlon concerning the Ilarfon County racing hill. In a public state ment Governor Goldsborough said that had he not been deceived by the statements Of Mr. Morrison and oth er representative men he would not have signed the bill which allows racing in Harford County. Following up the Governor's charges, the grand jury of Harford County began an investigation con cerning the farts of the Havre de Grace track. Mr. Morrison had been selected an chairman of the Demo cratic advisory committee for Mary land and to conduct the campaign for Wilson. C. A Fairbanks, vice-president of the Title Trust and Guarantee Com pany. of which Mr. Morrison was president, said officially that there was nothing wrong fti Mr k Morrl- pon’s relatl<\is with ithe company Kvery detail of the company's affairs was all right, he said. Mr Morrison was first vice-president of the Haiti- more Trust Company. The communication retained hy the coroner was later made public. It was addressed "to the public" and was devoted entirely to a lengthy explanation of Morrison's connection with the Harford racing bill. He de clared In effect that he was Influenc ed only by a desire to serve certain frieifds In Harford who had a country fair property there and wished to bold race meetings in connection with the fair. He thought that under the bill If would be Impossible to operate "out law" racing and he believed the con struction of any new tracks under It extremely unlikely. In all his life, he said, he had never been offered graft as surh and he had never made a dollar out of sport of any kind The letter Indicated plainly that the writer had worried over the con neetton of his name with the rare track matter Mr Morrison took means to make self destruction cer tain. Around his neck and secure by strips of adhesive plaster was fas tened a loaded revolver with the muzzle pointing directly at the mid dle of the throat Characterizing the directorate of ths race track at Havre de Grace as an "unclean collar on a dirty shirt," and claiming that the track is main tained for gambling In Its must dam aging and dangerous form, the grand >ory for Harford County Tuesday gave Its report The grand Jury rec ommended that detectIvee he employ ed to see that the laws are strictly •nforced. TOOK MIR LIVES COUNT NOGI AND WIFE FOLLOW RULER IN DEATH. HE EXPLAINS DELAY. W. K. Sterensoa Gives Reasons for Postponement. KILLED AGED MAN. Negro About to be Electrocuted Hog* Pitifully. James Williams a negro murderer, died in the electric chair early Mon day at the New York State prison at Albany, dellvlng a rambling vale dictory. "Gentlemen, don't kill me," he pleaded as he entered the chamber at 6 o'oclock, the priests and guards urging him. Then he paused as If ex pecting the witnesses to acknowledge bis speech, and as the mask was go ing on he shouted: "Hello, I'm the one, but, gentlemen don’t kill me. He began to purse his lips, resist ing the Eleetrlcoan Davis, who tried to smooth the mask. "I an going, gentlemen, but don’t kill me," shouted the eondemed man. He was repeating his plea when death silenced him. Williams klled an aged farmer, James Duffy, with a club near Hon- eoye, N. Y., In 1911, and later at tempted to, aaaault hia victim's grand daughter. Twice Williams attempted to commit suicide, once on the day- sentence was imposed and again while confined In the death house. HEN LAYS A VERY QUEER EGG, A Small Iron Rail Found in an Egg \ \ Laid by Spartanburg Hen. A Spartanburg dispatch says a few day* ago when the wife of H. S. Grif fin Vas breaking a fresh hen egg something heavy dropped out. When she examined it it was found to he a solid iron ball, a half-inch I*' diam eter with a neat screw running near ly through the ball. Between the head of the screw and the ball there were two square washers. There are two mysteries in this case. How di<J an once ball get In the egg? Where did the ball come from an! tor what waa it used. Did any one ee such a ball? Bafore the next primary some rad ical changes must be made in the should pose aa a Democrat if N ndlly w##* And Should be at the Head of the Congressional Committee of Agri culture. The Anderson Mall some time ago called attention to the fact that ongresman A. F. Lever of this Sstate will be the next chairman of the House committee on agriculture, if the democrats hold their majority In congress as they probably will. It will be of interest to know what this committee does and what are Mr. Lever's Ideals. The following are excerpts from a speech made by Mr Lever two years ago, and while con gress even this year has taken anoth or forward steps for the promotion of agriculture, yet the general princi ples as outlined by Mr. I/ever two years ago give a correct Idea of his attitude toward his committee work. Eighty percentum of the popula tion of South Carolina depend upon agriculture, in fact Is directly con corned In all that goes to the upbuild ing of agriculture. I have been a member of this committee for fours years and am now the second demo crat on It and one of the five mem bers who make up the appropriation bill which keeps the department of ag -Iculture going which in tnrngivesus >ur soil survey, our demonstration farm work, our dairy work, our cat- •le lick eradication work our diversi fication interests and all of the vari us lines of work bring done hy the I* parttm nt In the South. The ap art,(illations of this department, dur- ug this year. 1 9 1 n, amounted to near- y $ 1 H.ihommiii exclusive of the •inn,oou.uno which w.* appropriated fur enforcing the meat inspection anh (utre food law s. It is not hard for you to appreciate the tesponsibility that rests upon one who has to vouch for the appropria tion of this tremendous sum of mon ey, which Is nearly ten times as much is the amount appropriated to run your entire government. 1 have had a deep appreciation of the possibilities of s.outhem agricul ture and am an enthusiast with re spect to them. It has been my ef fort to Interest the department in our section and to secure appropriations for tho Initiation of new lint's of work and the development of the old ones. First of all you will remember that it was my bill that secured the ap propriation of JJO.Ouo for the teach ing of dairying in the south When we remember that South Carolina Im ports dairy products to the value of thrt'e and one-half million dollars per year you can readily understand how Important It Is to the state that this veung Industry he promoted and giv en every consideration which is leg- tljnate The experts of the department, men who have had actual experience, are teaching our dairymen the most Im proved methods of the business The result Is shown In the report of the s* ( rotary of agriculture for 19U7 In which the statement Is made that the herds wlt1\ which the department has dealt, show an Increase In value of production of $T7f> per month for each diary cow This gives you some little Idea of the valoe of expert In formation as lx touches our natural resources There Is no reason why the south should not be a successful dairying country It depends upon the use of Improved methods In the business The department of sgrl- cuFure Is giving these " Tho re sult is certain 1 expect to sec the dnv come when a great live stock industry will be built up m the south Dairy and beef cattle are at the very founda tion of spcivssfxil agrPuWure the world over Tho trouble has beet the slavishness of mir people to the one crop system cotton and the presence of the ca’tle tick, tin* latter n iking it Impossible almost to make the cattle i’o’ustry profitable Several veare ago the department began the work of the era I ice t u'u of the cattle tick In the Infested area covering fifteen states, this slat* be ing one of them I am very much im pressed with the promising resuFs and have my whole heart in the e'- fort to secure large appropriations to enable the department to conduct a campaign against this southern pest 'Inch It is esh)mat*'d is lusting the soutIrf eoj^Teww' than $ I .omMmo.noti * r .v*VfXati(l this state $siio,niin The appropiiAtlon for I'.nl9 was $ 1 ,7 o,u no, which wus secured largely through my effo/ts In the committee For 1 fit n this appropriation was incseased $1 00,000. Your state legislature appropriated $b.0on to co-operate with the federal government In tins work. It has al ready begun in several of the coun ties in the northern part of Hie state It is my hope that during the present year the (|uarantinc line will he moved as far down as Columbia and that the next year or so will see the ijiiarantine lifted from the South Carolina cattle, and this you under stand will give your rattle access to ell of the markets of the world. 1 have long felt that the solution of many of the Ills of southern agri- culture lies in the diversification of her agriculture. My observations to gether with the history of agricul ture convince me that no nation can reply with confidence upon one crop system as the basis of its agricultur al welfare. " The story of the northwest with re ference to wheat is only a repetition of the conditions that have existed ir the south for years and years The northwest depended entirely up on wheat . If the crop were good, the fanners were happy, if it hap pened to be bad, they were not and so it Is with us. If tho seasons are propitioais, we make money on our cotton. If the rain comes and the glass grows and tho crop is a failure, there is a complete failure. The doc trine that I have taught Is that cot ton as far as possible should be made a surplus crop. No farmer can afford to buy the ordinary necessitities of life, when they can be raised upon his farm. No farmer can afford to buy his meat In Chicago, or his wheat and corn in Iowa when hia own soil is es pecially adopted to the growing of these. Farmers organizations and farmers’ resolutions will amount to nothing unless the farmer himself has made himself independent of his cotton crop. What we are trying to do for the south through the department of ag- riCUHlire through tu demonstration THEY COMMIT SUICIDE Famoue Military Leader of Japan and Hia Wife Took Their Own Llvee as the Body of the| Ijate Em peror of Japan Starts for it* Last Resting Place. At TokiO, Japan, Gen. Count Mare- sunke Nogi, supreme military coun selor of the Japanese empire, and his wife, the Countess Nogi, committed suicide Friday night in accordance with &n ancient custom as a final tri bute to their departed emperor and friend, MutsuhltouThe death by their own hands of the ramous general and his wife was as dramatic as It was sad. The general cut his throat with a short sword and the countess com mitted hari-kari. Following the samurai custom, the couple had carefully prepared their plans for killing themselves and limed them so that they would be coincident with the departure for ever from Toklo of the dead emperor. Gen. Nogi and the countess had at tended the funeral services of Mut- suhito at the palace there Friday and It was expected that they would proceel to Aoyama Friday night with the cortege. Instead however, at ! he roncMislon of the ceremony at th< palace, they withdrew to their mod- • st home In Akasaka, a suburb of Ickio, and there began their final preparations for death. First (lit* general wrote a letter to bis new emperor, Yoshihlto, which later was found beside his body. I’tien he draped in mourning a por trait of the Late emperor, which hung on the wall, and afterwards he and his wife dressed themselves in full Japanese costume and drank a farewell cup of sake from cups which had been presented to the general bv M utsuhlto. TROUBLE OYER IN AIKEN. Threats Made Against Mr. Hugh I,ong of Wagoner. A letter from Aiken says consid- erable Interest attaches to the elec tion In the recent second primary of Mr. Hugh Long to the House of Hep resell tat Ivee, In that It Is reported that, as a direct result of Ins elec tlon .there have come, from the eas tern section of the county, partuu larly Wagener—of which town he is tho pnsout mayor—and environs, a leged threats of dire violence to his person in the event that he should r turn to his home When Interviewed at Aiken Thurs dav Mr. Long, without any show of hesitancy, announced that he, too had heard these rumors, hut that h I>*•]leved them to be without any very material foundation, since they had ernanted from Irresponsible sources He admitted that, as a result of the spirit of local factionalism In Wag ener. springing from the fact that two residents from the town wire in the race for the House of Represent atives, considerable bitterness ua felt hy his non-support'rs over Ins < lection. However, Mr. Long stated that h accredited his strongest political en etnies with the possession of too much manhood .too much strength o character and purpose, too high sense of Justice, to give vent to anv such foolish threats, and any such puerile bickerings, as have been re ceived In Aiken, and alleged to have cornu from Wagener. And In tins connection, he reiterated his belief that the threats had come from irri* sponsible persons, who were Incap able of realizing the enormity of their expressions, thoughtlessly made and without The sanction of his i*o- litleal opposers. for, he said, it was foolish to make such threats, and would he more serious still to en deavor to execute them, simply be cause the majority of the voters of Aiken County had seen tit to select him as one of their representatives in the State legislative body Mr Long stated that gewral times during his absence from Wagener his office had been surreptitiously enter ed, even broken into, for the purpose, lit* believed, of gaining access to his private papers and such records as he might have on file. Concluding the iiD*»rvio.w, '.Mr. Long stated that, as an evidence of his disbelief in tin* alleged threats of violence, he was certainly going back to Wagener. his home, so soon as he shall have made adjustment of certain political mat ters now demanding his attention and his presence in Aiken. tarm work, its soil surveys, its breeding work and all of that is to tiring the southern people to the p< int where they can he independent of king, cotton, where they shall’be aide to make of this tyrant a ser vant, who shall contribute to the hap piness and welfare of all of the peo ple. We are now slaves to it, and can never realize our fun possibili ties until we have taken of his shackles. 1 do not preach’ the doctrine of re ducing the cotton production, I plead only for an increase in the acreage of other crops. I plead for an in crease in yield per acre in cotton and and increase In acreage for other crops. To this end the department has begun a soil demonstration work. I believe that this work is the begin ning of a new era in southern agri- cultrure. I do not believe that it is too much to say that It is fraught with more possibilities for good than within recent years, with the possible exception of rural delivery. What we want to do is to put the farmers in a position to hold his cot ton as it pleases him and not as it gratifies someone else and this can nev>r be done until the farmer is aught successful agriculture and suc cessful agriculture means diversified and Intensified agriculture. It Is a new work, the result of which can not be seen In a day but will go on and on and on gathering strength with each day. In my experience as a practical farmer and my observations I have been struck with the fact of a lack of uniformity in the grading of cot ton in the different cotton markets of the country und l bftre had thu Tells Messrs. Bivens, Greer and Jef fries to Carry Out Duties Assign ed to Them.—Declares He Will Know Neither Bloase or Jones Men in Doing His Duty. Two letters bearing on the contro versy over the course to bo pursued by the sub-committee of the Steto Democratic executive committee ap pointed to consider charges of fraul | n the recent primary were ^ivon to ! the press. One was sent to The State 1 by W. K. Stevenson of Cheraw, chair-1 man of tho subcommittee, who is now in Atlantic City, N. J. The oth. er was written by Col. Thomas Both- j well Butler of Gaffney and given out ! in that city. Both were replies to the recently published open letter of | R. M. Jeffries, J. D. Bivens and J. M. i Grier, In which these three members j of the sub-committee took exception j to 'Mr. Stevenson’s course in appor- fioning the work of investigation and calling off the meeting originally ; scheduled for last Wednesday. Mr. Stevenson in his letter cites the reasons for his action, pointing nit that the two sub-committees can msten the work by performing the iutles assigned to them. He also 1 says that the next meeting of the: ommlttee should be in the Piedmont, 1 where the charges of fraud have been most vigorous. The next meeting; he sai(j, would be called when the material was In shape for use, and would not be lat-• r than September 2j. Mr. Stevenson’s letter follows: "Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 13.
