“We earnestly beg your attention

that are of vital concern to your in
terest, and we urge you to act in ac
cordance therewith, promptly and fa
vorably
“Where as, serious loss to the pro
ducers of cotton in the cotton grow
ing sections of the South has been
caused by Irregular packages, infer
ior and insufficient covering and
careless handling; and
“Whereas, It is understood that
the Congress of the United States is
contemplating investigation and pos
sible legislation with the object o f
improving conditions; and
“Whereas, it is to the interest and
saving of a large aomunt of money

Arrested at Atlantic City, N. J.,
for murder Wednesday six Chinamen
sedately shook their heads and said
calmly that not by the Rising Sun
had they any hand in the death by
bullet wound in the head of Ho W r hy
laundry proprietor.
But this was trancendently true—
they had been the guests of privilege
at Ho WJiy’s suicide party They had
as by the honorable custom ordain
ed in the writings of Confucius sat
and watched their brother kill him
self—“honorably.” they said, shot
himself in the head and “honorably”
die.
There are other, older Chinese
methods that he might have used.
There was the exit of the silken cord
and there was the noble method of
the golden disc. They were amused
at the police chief of Atlantic City
and his detectives standing around
him, had never heard of the method
of the golden disc One took a thin
disc of gold and placed it on his
tongue A swift intake of breath and
the disc slipped swiftly back and
closed his windpipe and that was
the end, a most honorable end, much
used by mandarins
Ho Why had been in this country
twenty years. He had done much
over the wash tubs twenty years of
hard work He had sent much inon-
to China to the glorification ot

Some few weeks ago The Times
and Democrat “said Editor E. H.
Aull of the Newberry and News says
he met Senator Tillman on the train
recently and he was much pleased to
find him “as strong and vigorous as
he was, both physically and men
tally. His mind is strong and vig
orous and there is much of the old
time fire and snap about the eye".
All the talk about his mind being
weak is unkind and besides unfound
ed. He can’t eat the big meals that
he once could but otherwise eeems
entirely well.” In commenting on
the above the Columbia Record says;
Death, the universal conquerer,
has had some notable contests and
many notable victims, but seldom
has he been baffled and held at bay
in a contest fought out before the
public eye and on a world arena so
conspicious as in the case of Senator
Tillman. No doubt the senior South
Carolinian’s fight against the grim
monster after he had called and giv
en the word to go on the last dread
journey will go down in the medical
records as one of the most notable
in the-professional records.
Three years ago Senator Tillman
was Mrhken, and for wfH'ks lay
helpless in the shadow of death, as
i writer in Hie New York Sundav
Sun recites: "His friends and fam

Whati vcr may be our private opin
ion of the gentleman, we are com
pelled to admit that it 1* beginning
to be apparent to the innocent bv-
Btanders of whom there are a few
Htill left in Atlanta, that Colonel
Thomas H. C< Ider is either innocent
of the charges brought against him,
or that he is shrewder than the
gang who brought the charges.
Whether from superior virtue or
superior wit, Col. Felder is beginning
to get visibly the best of it. This
doesn’t merely mean that he can out
cuss and out write detective Chief
Langford. It is more than talk..The
gong has sounded at the end of the
first round and Mr. Felder has retir
ed to his corner with the points in
his favor.
The first one Mr. Felder put over
was the affidavit from the Gentry
boy saying that the stenographic re
port of the dictagraph conversation
had been tampered with, and that
part of it had been faked, as Felder
charged.
The next thing he put over was
in calling the bluff of the police de
partment which had talked about ar
resting him for attempted bribery.
They planned the arrest it is said,
but lost their nerve at the critical
moment.
And the last thing he put over
w T as when the grand jury formally re
turned a no bill against him, clear
ing him if the charges made by De
tective Lanford that Mr. Felder car
ried a pistol and had tried to draw
it on him.

Bishop W. A. Candler of the Meth

es that Andrew Carnegie’s donation
..of one million doliara to Vanderbilt

financial depression has been simple
hi,d fata!. Washington waited until
the panic had begun, until confidence
and credit were undermined .and
then turned the Fnited States treas
ury over to Wall street, while the
stock-gamblers salvaged what they
•ould from the wreck. The Wilson
policy is to suppress the panic at the
start and not at the finish.
Nothing could have been more
timely than Secretary McAdoo’s an
nouncement that he was prepared tc
issue $500,0110,000 in emergency
currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland
act. Wall street recovered imme
diately from its hysteria and its
bankers, with characteristic patriot
ism, began to denounce the secretary
for his “absurd offer’’. The fact is
now pointed out with a wealth of de
tail that there is plenty of currency-
in circulation and that no emergency
currency is necessary, but forty-eight
hours before Wall street was point
ing out with an equal wealth of de
tail that one of the disturbing ele
ments In the situation was the neces
sity that would exist in a few weeks
for immense sums of money to move
the crops.
The truth is that there was plenty
of money all the time, and except
for the condition of the European
money market, there was no reason
whatever for Wall street’s attack of
nerves. Proving it is the most im
portant service that the treasury has
rendered by its offer of% emergency
currency. Wall street’s hysteria was
rapidly inoculating the entire coun
try, and the Wilson administration
has stopped the nonsense before It
became serious. All of which goes to

"!i. Throw first one foot and then
the other toward the headboard,
keeping the knee joints as straight
as you can.
"4 While still lying on the hack,
kirk out with both feet as wide
apart as you can and do the kick
ing with emphasis, so as to strain
the muscles on the calf and soles of
thp feet. Elevate both feet at once
toward the headboard and then the
spine as muoh as possible by using
the abdominal muscles to pull up
the lower extremities three times. If
the hands are placed under the small
part of (he back and the arms are
used as a lever to help elevate the
legs and feet it is much more effec
tive. If in an iron bed this can be
faclliated by grasping the railing
above the head with the hands and
pulling up the legs and feet by the
use of the muscles of the back and
belly. This is very fine for reducing
the paunch as it substitutes muscle
for fat and hardens the obdormen.
“6. Fasten the feet under some
thing and pull the trunk up to a
sitting posture, drop back and repeat
for four or five times. This is very
straining at first and one ought to
go about it cautiously until he mus
cles have become accustomed to the
strain.
“7. Throw the head back with the
feet on the bed and lift the. body
clear so that the shoulders do not
touch. This will form an arch. Re
peat four or five times. This is
enough in bed in the morning.
