Governor Meuse Hays "Muddle" Must Ile Cleared Up First. Atlanta, .July S. Differences ex isting between Governor Blease, of South Carolina, and the War Depart menl are responsible for the Gover nor's refusal to allow the State troops ot Georgia and North Caro lin? to pass through South Carolina to the proposed joint encampment in /Vugusta, Ga., next month, it w;is in d?cated lo re to-uigbt.

Cen. "Moore gave oui tho following infor mation to-day when Interviewed at his ofllce: "lt has never been considered nec essary," said Gen. Moore, to obtain permission from one State to move militia Of another State through its territory when the foreign militia are moving under orders from the War Department of the United States. State militia 'then assumes the nature of Federal troops. There fore, the request for permission to move the Georgia Hussars through South Carolina, which was mad?' hy Adjt. Hen.

Governor Blease declined, however, <o sign any of thc submitted orders, with the statement to tho effect that he would sign no further orders with lenard to military affairs until the muddle between this Stale and the War Department had been straight ened out.

Object is to Cot More Cotton in H Shorter Period, (Columbia Record.) A new system of cotton planting is now being tried and advocated which is said to ?ive promise ol a volution in tliis industry. N. L. .villet. of Augusta, an authority on Nie Bubject, writes of the results so far of the experiment, which show increases In crop r>7, 29, r>:i, :jr> and 26 per cent as compared to the old method. These results entitle the new plan to careful study and Mr. Willofs article on the subject is ex ceedingly interesting. In the opinion of the Savannah Press. The end to be obtained in the work, says Mr. Willet, is to get more cotton and in a shorter period, and is ?'specially adapted to boll weevil ?ands and high latitudes. The dou ble principle in short, is to thin out plants late, and leave them close to gether in the row. All Individual plants of colton, given room, putout luxuriant foliage and much "vegeta tive" or "wood branches." Their fruiting branches" get to their work or their "setting" late-and the crop is late and short. The new Idea discards t ho individual plant theory, and adopts "the row" as the unit. The row looks like a "hedge row." The process eliminates the "vege tativo" branches by preventing their formation. The thick, growing, shaded plants are kept Hom expos ure . ? light until they grow up to a height higher than the point at which vegetative limbs put out. Cool weather and dry weather themselves always tend to prevent excess of "wood bram hes." These vegetative limbs require much space in the row and between rows. The new method decreases both of these spacings, and increases largely per acre the number of the plants. Since plants inches in the row will put out vegetative limbs the new principle avoids this trouble by thinlnng out to two or three inches in the row when the plants are eight or ten inches high; and then when the plants are twelve to fifteen inches high they are thinned to six. eight and len indies. In most cases there is, however, only one thinning. When the plants get eight to ten inches high they are thinned to eight and often six inch.es in the row. The whole principle in this meth od is to "control the branches"-in which process we get fruiting branches and not vegetative branches; we get early crops, and an abundant crop, and ?.." get a hedge row formation and not indi vidual plant development. Th's hedge row formation and this hunching the plants close together protect, too, the plants from cold weather, winds, and tends, too, to prevent weeds. Mr. Willett believes that In ano ther season tens of thousands ol ex periments with this principle will be carried on, and In a few years we will see an absolute workine process In cotton planting.

Wife of Physician Taken Into Cus tody-Installed Secret Telephone. Freeport, N. Y., July 9.-Evidence waa submitted to-day to the grand jury by District Attorney Smith, who is endeavoring to secure an indict ment against Mrs. Florence Conklin Carman, who was arrested late yes terday, charged with the murder ol Mrs. Louise [talley, ten days ago. Mrs. ('arm.MI was arrested following testimony at the inquest by Elwood T. Dardes, an insurance agent, who testUied that he was passing the house on the night of the murder, heard a ?Mash and saw a woman run from in front of the window to the rear of tb? house. He said the wo man wore a white waist and dark skirt. Other Witnesses swore Mrs. Car man was thus dressed in the evening. She swore she wore a kimona, and was in her bedroom when the shot was (ired. Mrs. Carman is in jail, suffering nervous breakdown. Dr. Carman, in | whose office Mrs. Bailey was when | the assassin fired through the win- i dow, declares his wife is innocent and will prove it. Arrest ol' Mrs. Carman. Mrs. Carman, at whom the finger of suspicion has pointed since the tragedy, in that she had installed a telephonic instrument in her hus band's office to hoar conversations between him and his women patient-, is in the Nassau county jail at Mine ola. There she will remain until Monday, when she again will be ex amined by the coroner before who .: she pleaded not guilty when arraign ed after her arrest, in the room where Mrs. Hailey died. Mrs. Carman's nerve is shattered. When the door of the Mine?la jail closed behind her she pulled her heavy veil from her face and broke ! down. The immediate cause of the arrest was the testimony given by Elwood T. Bardes, whom the authorities called the single reliable eye-witness j of the crime. Bardes is also under lock and key, detained as a material ' witness, for his story is of such im portance that the authorities feared an attempt might be made to get him j out ol' the jurisdiction of the New York courts. Hardes' story, briefly told, ls this: At 7.30 o'clock on the night of the murder, Hardes said, he determined i t to visit Dr. Carman to have him dress a minor injury. He walked to j the physician's house. Arriving, be J decided he could dress the injury I himself and thereby save a doctor's fee. So he walked past the house and then turned around to begin his journey home. At that instant he heard an explo sion. He thought lt was caused bj an automobile tire, but when he looked for the machine he could not find it. He looked toward the lawn at the side of Dr. Carman's home. A woman-tall, well built, hatless, wearing a light shirtwaist and a dark skirt-was moving away from one of the windows at the side of the physician's office toward the nar of the house. She was walking ' in a hurry," the witness swore. Hardes was discovered yesterday. His story might still remain m.mid had he not mentioned it, first to .. woman, who telephoned the district attorney, and then to a priest he vis ited for advice. The priest urged Hardes to make his story known But before an opportunity presented it self be was taken into custody by order of the district attorney. Bardes testified after Mrs. Car man's 12-year-old daughter had tried to strengthen her mother's alibi, and representatives of the manufacturers Of the telephonic instrument told of selling the device to the physician's wife and of installing it in her home.
