Mr. Ellis, of Bibb, said he had been Informed that '.?fore this jury (the House) had been empaneled a majority had airead) decided to con vict MeLendon because political ex pediency required it. He had at first repudiated the miserable sug gestion. He could not believe that Georgia's representatives were so unprincipled, FO vindictive, so dis honest, so unfair. Yet he was com pelled to believe lt, to believe that even before the "Indictment" had been prepared, the "Jury" had agreed to H& support. lt was a political persecution. "They say he has no friends. I am here to tell you that he has a friend in the person of every Geor gia citizen who loves justice.

Following a carefully laid plot of the Federal postal detectives, Eby was arrested In this city to-day whIR in the company of Ouwald J. f)e Rousse, chief clerk to President Me Crea, who acted for the latter In inveigling Mayor Eby to this city. He was given a hearing before Uni ted States Commissioner Craig and held in $10.00t? bail for September term of court. At the hearing William L. Calvert, post office Inspector ui Richmond, Va., furnished evidence showing that Eby mailed threatening letters at the Richmond and Charlotte railroad post offices.

He has long entertain ed n spite against the Pennsylvania Railroad. His rather held stock in a branch road In Virginia ami Mr. Eby believes that hy the reorganiza tion of the road through the Read ing and Pennsylvania influences, his father lost some $200,000."

President Perrit t Outlines H IN Policy and Alms-Invites Co-o|H>rnt lon. In assuming tile duties of Presi dent of the farmers' organization of South Carolina, 1 feel profoundly the great responsibility and opportuni ties that Ile out before me. I now become the public servant ol' au or ganized bo?j uC men looking to the full development and betterment of every enterprise and Interest that is in ac?ord with the principles of equality and justice. To this end, I Invoke the hearty co-operation pf every man In South Carolina, but more especially do I plead for the assistance of every man of that dis tinguished and representative body of planters who, in convention as sembled, did, on July :10th, thrust this responsibility upon me. I fully apperclate the honor, duties and dif ficulties that must attend the efforts of any one in educating and organiz ing the planters of South Carolina, so that they may know best how to advance and protect their Interests. I plead for sympathy and co-opera tion from men in other walks of life, because agricultural prosperity means progress and vitality to every other line of business. The machinery to fertilize, culti vate and market our products ls too complex and expensive, and to in sure success to our various enter prises, must be simplified and re duced to a minimum of expense. Let our organization press home material into the Held, study the principles set forth In the preamble of our constitution, relying upon personal effort, regardless of ridi cule, ti?i ail C?'it ?olsra or the lack of confidence reposed in our ability and intelligence by others, and the time is at hand when our planters will be that happy, contented people, will be that exponent of power and pros perity which have always and will ever give life, energy and purpose to the callings and professions of all men. We know that it ls impossible to enlist the support and allegiance of all the planters, for this cannot be accomplished with any class or pro fession of men; but by carefully studying our needs and weak points we will soon exercise a power that will stop the leaks that have so long drained us of our just earnings, amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This saved to the plant ers will bring a degree of content ment and prosperity that the South has not enjoyed for over half a cen tury. I desire to be In close touch with every local organization In the State Hence I welcome suggestions and In cluirles from every part of the State. Of course, there are many (tuestions I cannot answer-- there are many of our plans that no sane business maa would dare divulge. There are many of our difficulties that we have yet to plan for that we may overcome them, and, by co-operation and con tinually and persistently acquiring concrete knowledge of our interests, we can forge to the front and occu py that rank in our religious, social, intellectual and financial spheres that will command that respect and esteem which was accorded our fathers In ante-bellum days. Let every county president, as well as others, aid me to get in touch with willing, able and Influential workers in their respective counties. The only way through which I hope to shake off the shackles of Igno rance, doubt, suspicion and fear is by concert of action by every South Carolinian who desires permanent prosperity. A. J. A. Perrltt. Farmers War on Cotton Exchange. Galveston, Texas. A.ig. ."?.-As a climax to a sensational debate dur ing the session ol' the Farmers' Un ion of Texas, meeting in annual con vention, during which colton ex changes and speculators were scored in Vigorous terms, President Neill announced that he would seek thc arrest of everj cotton speculator in Texas. Further, Mr. Neill declared, next winter he would head an organized lobby in Washington, where his sole object would be to cause the enact ment of legislation which would cause tile suspension of operations by the New Orleans and New York cot ton exchanges. "1 am." Mi-. Neill announced, "going to offer a reward of $U00 for the airest and conviction of every person found gambling in cotton in i be State of Texas." The campaign against the cotton speculator, he declared, would be followed up, both by him and the members of the union. The Farmers' Union In convention here are considering forming a pool to handle the cotton seed output of the State, which is estimated at one million tons annually. It is believed lt will be acted on favorably. Chamberlain s Cough Remedy Cures Coleta. Croup and Whooping Cough. NOAHS LINIMENT "IT PENETRATES" RECOMMENDED FOR Rheumatism, Sciatica.

B. Shelor ls home again, after a stay of more than five weeks In Borne, Ga., an Inmate at Harbin's Hospital, where he underwent an op eration for appendicitis. The ope ration was performed on the 2d of July, and Mr. Shelor came- home Inst Thursday, the 29th. Ills case was aggravated by stomach troubles, which retarded his recovery. He id now on the way to robust health. He ls enthusiastic In his praises of the efficient work and sympathetic treat ment of patients by Hrs. Harbin and their excellent trained nurses. Oco nee claims that these doctors are her sons. They are sons of Dr. W. R. Harbin, who practiced at Fair Play for many years; and many of our people will remember their father. They are well fitted In ability, train ing and accommodation for the great work they are doing. When Mr. She lor went to the hospital he was so low that he could not turn In bed without great effort. but In five weeks' time his appendix had been removed, his stomach successfully treated and he came home sufficient ly recovered to walk about the house. He claims to be somewhat familiar with hospitals, tor his be loved mother carried him with her to Baltimore, Greenville, Atlanta and Columbia, where she went seeking health. All these hospitals were good, but for efficient treatment and home-like attention Harbin's Hos pital 1? Borne, where he lay ex tremely ill for five weeks, excells any he has visited-not in magnificent buildings, possibly, but in all those attentions craved and needed by the sick. They make one feel that God's servants aro present to help. The hospital was full at one time while he was there, but all were relieved and preceded him to their homes. A Mr. Staten, of Gailesvllle, Ala., came to the hospital while Mr. Shelor wa? there, suffering greatly with acute appendicitis. The case was so des perate that it seemed*a race between death and the surgeon's knife, but the knife of Dr. W. P. Harbin won the victory and In about two weeks Mr. Staten left fo.- home. A lady came with a cancer, had one-fourth of her tongue removed, and In less than two weeks left Rome with only three-fourths of a tongue, with which, however, she was singing the praises of the Hrs. Harbin. This hospital, on the banks of the Coosa, ls and should he the pride of the city. Their 22d child Has Been Born.

Ritchie, a white man about 35 years old, was killed by the Asheville excursion train on the re turn trip early this morning just this side of Pendleton. The body was badly mangled and bruised and almost cut lu two, the entire train passing over lt. The body was re moved to the dead man's home, near where the accident occurred, and an inquest, is being held by Magistrate J. J. Sitton to-day. The accident occurred at the bend in the road, near the Pendleton Cot ton Mills, and the body was found, a short time after the train had passed by Supt. McCuen of the mills. The train crew knew nothing of the ac cident until the train had come on to Anderson and was on the return till), the sharp curve rendering lt Impossible for the engineer to see any obstacle on the track. It was at first thought that Ritchie might hnve been killed and then placed on the rails, one of his arms being almost entirely severed, as if by a knife, but upon further Investi gation It was decided that this must have been done by a flange on one of the wheels of the train. About $14 8 in money was found in the dead man's clothes and in a bag by his side, and this dispelled the theory of robbery, which might have been a motive for the greater crime. Ritchie is said to have been seen in the vicinity near where the acci dent occurred during the night, and to have been under the influence of whiskey. This fact, coupled with other evidence secured, leads to the conclusion that while in a drunken condition he laid down on the tracks and was run over by the train. It seems that the body was rolled be neath the ash pan of the engine on the ties, the pilot rising just a little as the train struck the curve, and al lowing it to pass beneath. Ritchie was unmarried and lived opposite the track at the point where he was killed. Three years ago Ritchie slashed both Sheriff N. R. Green and Deputy Sheriff \\ .N. Scott with a knife at the fair ground, north of this city, when they at tempted to arrest him on a charge of riotous and disorderly conduct. For this he served a term on the county chain gang.
