The Southern cotton grower today is covered with the shame of defeat. Like the union armv at Bui!

A Miner Pinned in a Shaft by a More of Rock and Lived Thirteen Days. An old assay certificate, found on the body of J. J. D. Miller, who died in the shaft of his mining claim, 12 miles north of Bridgeport, Oal., told two stories when It was deciphered In the coroner’s office there on Wed nesday. One side told of gold In Mil ler’s shaft. The other bore the pen ciled record of the man’s seven days imprisonment, ended by death at noon Friday, October 13. The body was found last Satur day with the left leg pinned against the side of the 15-foot shaft by a mass of rock. Miller stood upright with, his head thrown back. The shaft Is slightly inclined and he must have seen the sun, which, stood on the meridian, as he wrote the last line of his diary. “Friday, noon—the thirteenth day no hope.’* The certificate was rolled and had been replaced in his pocketbook.

"The time to prepare for war is before it begins. We have lost the best time to prepare lor this emer- gercy, but I suggest the following plan: “Build warehouses in each South ern State capable of holding one- fourth of the largest crop we are likely to produce. My argument ap plies to South Carolina, but should be duplicated In each cotton State, and then combine all the cotton ware house clmpanee Into a whole. "The farmers should put up the capital stock to erect the warehous es, which should be large storage houses and built at points where sub-{ * 10 ^' stltutlon and reshipping prvvilege can be secured. This would imply that warehouses would be built on ly in towns having more than one railroad, or having wafer rates and Where ample fire protection can be provided—the small warehouse can never pay. Perpetual motion Is no more impossible In physics than is the continued exercise of good business sense In the conduct of warehouses and in organizing a holding move ment of cotton farmers. The warehouseman must be a man of character. He must be a fair book keeper. He must be a sworn weigher, capable of adjusting equitably differ ences as to moisture, damage, etc., on cotton. He should take the notes of farmers wishing to secure loans Sweetwater: If helps does not come, send this message to M. C. Miller, wife, Harrisonburg, Virginia, , and wire what to do with the body.

When They Were Accosted on the Street They Palled Oat PisloU and Shot Farrar Down in the Street— They Were Run Down, Caught and Confessed. At New Orleans, La., Edgar H. Farrar, Jr., son of the farmer presi dent of the American Bar Aseocia- tion, w as shot and killed at 1C o’clock Wednesday at the corner of Penlston and Magnolia streets, by two high waymen. Mr. Farrar was on his way to his office in the Hibernia Bank building when he was told by a neighbor that two men standing on a corner op posite were probably a pair who had broken Into the Farrar home the day before. Mr. Farrar started In pursuit of the men, who drew a revolver and who shot him. He fell in the streets dead. The two men started to run and v-ere pursued by a crowd of citizens. Special details of police and mount- '‘d officers were rushed to the scene and joined In the chase. Young Farrar was a graduate o» the University of Virginia. He was admitted to the New Orleans bar a decade or more ago and had prac ticed his profession in this city con tinuously ever since, with the excep tion of a year or two spent in Okla homa. He was popular in social af fairs, and had an extensive acquain tance throughout Tennessee, Ala bama and other sections of the South.

The annual meeting of the Audu bon Society of South Carolina was held in the Loan and Exchange bank building Wednesday. There were 300 members represented. M. O. Dantzler, the preslfient of the so ciety, was unavoidably detained on account of the seridus illness of his brother, O. M. Dantzler, sheriff of Calhoun county. Moreover, President Dantzler hav ing served two ful) years, now re tires from the presidency. The so ciety saw him go with regret, and passed suitable resolutions, testify ing to the value of the moral and active support he has given the cause of bird protection during his Incumbency. His successor has been named, but will not be announced until he Is officially notified and has accepted- The society feels that its moral position Is stronger than ever, al though no gain In membership has •ever been eecured on account-of the lack of active field work. The matter of extending the so ciety’s usefulness by Increasing membership and changing the mode of securing members was taken un der advisement and a plan adopted which will be published in full lat er. This In the main looks to secur ing a permanent endiownment, so that the society may become inde pendent of small annual dues. One of the main duties devolving on the society by law is the sugges tion of suitable legislation. The so ciety reaflrmed Its belief In the res ident hunters* license as the only practical means of enforcing bird and game protection, and will ask the general assembly to reconsider its action and pass such a license. Recent events have strengthened the society’s determination to se cure for the farmers of the State the protection for their crops and lands, to which they have always been entitled, and which they hav* never received from the general as sembly. For the present there has been no change In the officers, outside of the president. James Henry Rice was re elected secretary. The treasurer's report showed a small balance to the credit of the society, not counting the money bor rowed last year, and the return of which was recommended In a spec ial message by Gov. Ansel, voted by the general assembly, but veotoed by Gov. Rlease. The Audubon society feels content with results so far, and Is ready for a campaign more active than ever waged before for the protection of the birds. The society now enters i pon the sixth year of Its work.

One- fourth of this, 300,000 ball's, would need to be warehoused under my plan. I would suggest organizing a South Carolina Cotton Warehouse company, with a capital stock of $1,- 000,000, divided into shares of $50 e«(ch and that the farmers be asked to subscribe for most of this stock.

The acreage proposition would' have to be worked the same way.

I think such contract could be made valid. If some strong bank could act as trustee f r us in 1912 and they would say they had contracts in their vaults providing for a 2a per cent, reduc tion in South Carolina that would carry weight. “In conclusion we can rally the panic-stricken farmers of today and win a partial victory for 1912!

Dr. Wade Stackhouse of Dillon read his plan for relieving the situation. The plan was immediately adopted, but after disc asion a number of features of the plan elsewhere In this paper. One plan submitted to the conference .was to organize the Landlords and thereby keep the price of cotton up Mr. CUnkscales proposed that pledges be secured frm the cotton growers In the various counties of the State to hold their cotton and that the acreage be reduced He pro posed to have a report of the names of those who promised to hold cotton made daily In the papers of the State He was of the opinion that If the farmers will stick Togcfhftr The l?tu-' ation will be much better within ten Jays. Mr. CUnkscales was very en thusiastic and urged more confidence am ng the planters. In submitting his plan Dr. Stack- house said he had seen the sugges tion that each fanner be asked to sign an affidavit that If 75 per cent, of the farmers agreed to reduce 25 per cent, that his pledge would be come binding This would put a pre mium on lying and surely none of us would like to see such a strain put on our farmers next year. The con tract plan is the only solution I can see. Of course the eontrnete could be drawn so they would not be binding unless a given per cent, of farmers signed up “But some one croaks that . your plan Is as weak as the plan of the mice when they agreed to bell the cat “I will say the American Federa tion of I^abor is a gigantic organisa tion; but who quesitons thqy/ have great power.
