BETTER PRICES FOR COTTON. Barrett Says Planters Can Restore Last Year's Level. New Orleans, Nov. 11.?That it is within the power of the planters of the South to bring the price of cot ton back to last year's levels was the declaration of President C. S. Bar .rett,- when he formally opened the convention of the Farmers' Educa tional and Co-operative Union here today. "And when we succeed in restoring the price of cotton to the figures that ruled last year we whl be richer by $150,000,000," said Mr. Barrett, amid the applause of 1,000 or more delegates gathered in the New Orle?ns coliseum. He said that meddlesome news papers and busybodies had sought to connesct the Farmers' Union with the night riders. It was illogical and unjust to accuse members of the union with the depredations of the night riders. He said the union was in existance to gain its ends, but did not need and, will not invoke lawless methods. The union had no sympathy with the night riders and would take the initiative to rid the country of them. He said that during this convention there would come in the counciles of the union for the first time bus iness men and representatives of the South's commercial interests and all would be welcomed, the union view ing their willingness to co-operate in this campaign for better priced cotton as evidence of good faith. It is expected that by the opening of tomorrow morning's session there will be present at least 1,500 dele gates. FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Two Trainmen Killed in a Head-on Collission. Woodstock, Va., Nov. 0.?In a head-on collision between two freight trains two miles north of here to day, on the Southern Railway, Engineer Amos Johnson, of Alex andria, Va., an dFireman T. J. Jones.

Sims, aged thirty years, a weaver in the Brogon Mill, committed suicide in a patch of woods near the mills just outside the city ^imits this afternoon by firing a 32-calibre pistol ball in his right temple. Death re sulted 25 minutes after the shot w:-.s fired. Sims moved to Anderson from Fort Mill some four years agj. Two years ago he married Miss Me? sie Finlayso:., daughter of Robert Finalyson, c. the Anderson Mills, and his family troubles have been many. It is s&\(\ that he drank considerably at times and that on account of his intemperance his wife has left him several times. She left him last week and he had been in toxicated for several days, so it is said. He has not worked for four weeks, and it is supposed that re morse set in, and caused the awful act. At four o'clock some persons were attracted to the woods by a pistol shot. They found Sims sitting against an oak tree, with a bullet hole in his right temple. He was gasping for breath, and was uncon scious. A doctor was hastily called who ministered to him, but his life could not be saved. The bullet lodged in the skull over the righi eye, and the brains were scattere? over his body and the ground. TAX ON JUTE BAGGING UNJUST Cotton Exchange Says it is Burden on Cotton Industry. New Orleans. La., November 9.? The New Orleans Cotton Exchange today passed resolutions calling upon Congress to reduce the present tar iff on jute bagging used for bailing cotton. "This tax is a direct burden on cotton raising industry of the South for the benefit of a few manu facturers who are thus enabled to thrive at the expense of the mos* important class of agriculturist in this country," declares the resolu tion. The more you expect good fortune the more surprised you would be to get it. THE -FERTILIZER FIGHT. The Virginia-Carolina Company Will Have Opposition. Charleston, S. C, Nov. 9;?The Germofert Fertilizer Company which was organized here some months ago by W. B. Chlsholm, formerly of the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company is to play a leading part in the new fertilizer syndicate ^ivhich has been organized to compete with the Vir ginia Carolina Company and prob-' ably the Tilghman- Phosphate Com pany, of which Mr. Chisholm is also president, may also have a hand in the Industrial Fertilizer Company which is the title of the big compet ing company. It was stated* several days agj that the newly organized fertilizer syndicate at Richmond was thought to have local connection and now the New York papers, which seem to be next to the scheme, have associat ed the Germofert Company with the deal. This company organized specially to take over the acid part of the fertilizer business, having enteren the market and secured control of the output of sulphuric acid frora the Tennessee Copper Company, in competition with the Virginia-Caro lina Chemical Company and by tho making of this contract, scored a big triumph over the old company whieh has controlled the fertilizer situa tion and market. NEGRO BOY FOUND DEAD. Ghustly Find Made in Greenwood Oil Mill Seed Warehouse. Greenwood, Nov. 10.?Special: Arthur Warner, a young negro boy, ?was fount! dead yesterday in the big seed warehouse of the Greenwood Oil Mills here. His neck was broke a by the fall, though foul play is no! suspected. Rather it is thought that his neck was broken by a fall, which he evidently had while crawling in the house hunting a place to sleep. He fell into a deep seed pit, and this was probably the cause of his broken neck. He was seen around the oil mill at midnight Sat urday night. The one way to get the best of some people is to catch them at their worst. IMPORTANT DECISION Of United States Supreme Court on Mixed Schools. Washington, Nov. 9.?In deciding the case of Berea College versus the State of Kentucky, favorably to th-j State, the supreme court of the United States today held that a State of the union may constitutionally legislate to prevent tne co-education of the white and black races. The case was instituted to test the validity of the State law of 1904, prohibiting white and black children from attending the eame schools. The higher State court took the po sition that, the white and black races are naturally antagonistic and that the enforced separation of the chil dren of the two is in the line of the preservation of the peace. The opinion of the supreme court was handed down by Judge Brewer and affirmed the finding of both the Kentucky circuit court and the cou: t of appeals. Justices Harlan and Day dissented. Justice Brewer's opinion dealt entirely with corporations as affected by the Kentucky statute, and did not consider the question of its applicability to individuals. ROOSEVELT HONORS GOMPERS By Not Inviting Him With Other Labor Leaders. Denver, Nov. 10.?Considerable comment was caused by the portion of the annual report of Samuel Gompers read to the American Fed eration of Labor yesterday in which Gompers said that President Roose velt had issued invitations to a num ber of labor leaders to a dinner at the White House to discuss labor legislation. President Roosevelt, the repor: J said, had excluded from the guests officers of tne Federation, including himself. In an interview today Gompers said that he deemed himself honored , by the exclusion and considered the President's act a tribute to his hos esty. He said that it w:is the first affair of the kind he knew nl* at the White House to which he had not bean invited. His dealings with th;a President, he added, had always been on a business basis, and he had al ways been well received, and cour teously treated whenever he sought an interview with the President. John Mitchell, James Duncan an 1 I D. J. Keefe, who were invited, said thf-t they would decide later whether they would accept the invitation when they received the President's letters.
