The bulletin stated Annie MacSwiney, sister of the lord mayor 1 1 PvivfArt r^ricnr 1X7VlOTP hp L nau just icxt jlhiawh yii^vu ?" today began the 39th day of his hunger strike and declared his condition was unchanged except for the weakness. The physician at Brixton prison also reported the Lord Mayor's condition was virtually unchanged. MacSwiney last night wrote a message to Irishmen throughout the world on behalf of himself and other hunger strikers in Cork Jail. After thanking them for their sympathy and prayers, the lord mayor said, according to London Times. "If this cold-bloded murder is pushed through it will leave a stain on the name of England which has W parallel (even in her history) and which nothing will ever efface. It will rise before English people whenever they offer another people friendship. I We feel singularly privileged at being made instruments of God for envoking such world wide expressions of admiration and support for the cause of Irish independence and recognition of the Irish republic. If we are to die, we are called to that even greater privilege and happiness of entering the company of those who died for Ireland. "We forgive all those who are com^ passing cur death. This battle is be-( ing fought with clean hearts, purely for our country. We have made our peace with oGd and bear ill will toward no man." After envoking God's blessing upon all who pray for the prisoners Mac-j Swiney concluded by saying: "I believe God is watching over our country, and by His divine decree her resurrection is at hand. I believe this is her last battle for liberty and that God will crown it with complete victory." win MEET IN MANNING S. C. Synodical Auxiliary Convenes October 6-7.

PALMETTG DIAL WILL PREPARE # M COTTON AMENDMENT South Carolina Senator To Offer E New Plan At Next Session Of Congress Washington, Sept. 21.?All who are concerned with cotton, whether ^ as producers, merchants or manu- *c facturers, will be interested to know that Senator Dial, of South Carolina ^ intends to offer at the next session e] of Congress an amnedment to the cotton futures act, which will read 01 about as follows: "The seller shall have the option c< of tendering and the purchaser of ^ J.<v>??Jinn> /lolivovV r\f DT1V tVlft UC"1CIA1U*J1? uv.1.. ?v ? tenderable grades of cotton permit- w ted in this act; provided, however, n( that not less than one-fifth of the lr quantity of the contract shall be tendered or demanded of any one C1 grade. e: Under the present law the soller has the option of delivering any one d: * ? of ten standard grades on a cotton ? futures contract. Previous to the o: adoption of the present law any one of twenty grades could be delivered. Killed In House a In the last session of Congress w Senator Comer of Alabama, secured a the passage by the Senate of an n amendment to the existing law al- * lowing the purchaser to require de- sl livery of one-half of a cotton fu- ^ true contract in middlings. The Co- P mer amendment was defeated in the House. S ? < rs Senator Dial tninks tnat tne pres-1 ent law, though decidedly better w than the former practice, whereby " "dogtail" could be tendered in pay- ^ ment of a cotton future contvact, is w still unfair to the purchaser and injurious to the spot market. At the u same time he admits the possibility ?1 th^t the Comer amendment might go a little too far. Senator Dial ^ believes that he has arrived at a ss fair solution of the matter in proposing that the purchaser shall not I P* have the option of demanding nor' the seller'of compelling acceptance J of more than one-fifth of the con-ia* I' tract in any one grade. { P1 : j se 4 YEAR OLD BOY KILLS j pi 8 MONTHS OLD BROTHER "i Macon, Ga., ,Sept. 21.?Foster Alley, 4 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Roff Alley of Twiggs county, acci-! dentally shot and killed his eight' months old brother, Georgia, Sunday afternoon shortly after 5 o'- Sl1 clock. 83 According to details of the acci- sa p: dent reaching Macon, Mr. and Mrs. ^ Alley left the house for a few mo- se boy to amuse his younger brother. ca The latter began to cry shortly and Wi the elde boy climbed upon a bed, ? secured his father's revolver and m with this as a plaything, attempted m to amuse the baby.

Millerand's acceptance as a b mdidate for the Presidency virtu- o lly solves the problem, as it has a >rtceded by all sides In the Cham- v sr of Deputies and Senate that his d ection is a foregone conclusion. He C ould receive more than 700 votes, s o other candidate officially enter- I ig the field. o The premier's opponents have deded to refrain from voting and v tpect to muster about 100 ballots, t The question uppermost in the r iscussion among the Deputies and ( enators at present is the formation c f the new Cabinet to replace that I eaded by M. Millerand. At least t vo ministers of the present body s re stated to go. M. Briand probably { rill become a minister of foreign i ffairs, with M. Jannart as pre- t lier. Ex-President Poincare's name c as been mentioned as foreign mini- r ;er in place of Frederick Francois- t [arsal, although there is strong op- c osition to M. Poincare in the Cham- I er, while he is popular with ?he * enate. M. Millerand's decision f ime after an hour's conference ii ith M. Briand, who openly said at le conclusion of the meeting that s was working for Millerand and n ould ask his followers to work for ' im. While the premier is the almost ^ nanimous choice, there is strong position even among his most ar g ?nt supporters to any revision of ^ le Constitution. The slogan at Vertilles will be: "Elect Millerand, but don't tam- = ;r with the Constitution." M. Millerand formally announced s candidacy in a statement, reiter;ing his declared policies. He ex essed his belief that he could best rve as premier, but if Parliament eferred him as President he would lot evade the call." \YS SUGAR CANE PROFITABLE CROP Last year at this time Commis-i Dner Harris urged the planters, he' ys in the lower part of the state to ve their sugar cane for planting, ibbon cane is not planted from ed, but from the joints of the me. To show that he Knew wnax ne as talking about, Commissioner arris, says he carried an advertise-' ent in the Market Bulletin for a onth, stating, that he would pay L.50 a gallon for ribbon cane syrup any quantity from 50 gallons to 000. He was not taking any lances, he says, for he could have Jd ten times that amount. He got le lone gallon of syrup out of the tempt. That illustrated how scarce was ie commodity. Yet it is as delightil a syrup as ever tickled the pal;e, according to the commissioner, r. Harris considers himself a good idge of syrup, and he prefers the juth Carolina ribbon cane. .He jain urges the farmers of the ate not to crush all of . their cane, it to save for a crop ten times as rge next year. The commissioner is received a letter from a real state firm in Pennsylvania asking jout lands in South Carolina suit)le to planting sugar cane. There e thousands of acres available and uch of it is in the path that is beg devastated by the boll weevil. "This is a money crop," says jmmssioner Harris, "and it is im rtant that we should increase it. could find a ready market for mil>ns of gallons of the syrup. If it ere put up in attractive tins^ from quart ta five gallons, it would ake this state famous. Then, why I >t do it "An acre will produce from 125 illons to 300 gallons of syrup, liich will sell for not less .50. The cost of production is not iavy. There is a by-product in the imice, which can be shredded and ade into ensilage that beats corn over or cotton sed hulls. And there * 1 -i 'e lens 01 tnousanus uj. *?v;ico noH-j? g for it." fi The first successful manufacture I ' iron in America was at Lynn.'B ass., just 225 years ago.
