CONVICTED IN OKLAHOMA.
Former Greenwood "Financier" in
Clutches of Uncle Sam.
flr-ctonTt-rwvrl Sant 9 9 Mr T "P
Abney, cashier of the Farmers' and
1 Merchants' Bank, who went to Oklahoma
to assist in identifying W. J.
Nichols, of the notorious Metropolitan
Loan and Trust Company, of
Greenwood, received yesterday a
newspaper from El Reno, Oklahoma,
containing an account of the
trial and conviction of Jackson, alias
Nichols. This paper appears to be
in sympathy with Nichols. Its account
of the trial is as follows:
"After a trial that covered eight
days before the Federal Court at
Enid, the jury in the trial of C. L.
Jackson, who was indic&d for using
the mails to defraud, by the United
States Government, returned a vers
diet of guilty. The verdict came as a
surprise to Jackson and his attorneys,
for they felt that the government
had failed in their proof of the
alleged crime.
"The crime for which C. L. Jackson
is found guilty is punishable by
a fine of $2,000 or six years in the
penitentiary, or both, as the maxi
mum penalty. A motion by bis attorneys,
G. L. Galloway, of this city,
and Henry Sturgis, of Enid, will be
made to the Court during the week,
and in event of a failure in this case
will be appealed to the Supreme
Court.
"This case has attracted Statewide
attention on account of the alleged
amount of money that is said
to have been made by the Little
Crater Crude Oil Burner Co., of vhich
Jackson was the head, and which
was located in this city. The evidence
in the case which convicted
Jackson was secured by a couple of
postoffice inspectors and the methods
employed smirks of those used in the
Lewis case in St. Louis several years
ago, and which terminated in Lewis
being exeonerated by the Supreme
! Court of the United States."
Doctor Killed by Patient.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 21.?Armed '
with a pistol, a pair 01 Drass KnucKs
and an open knife and awaiting his
turn in the office of Dr. J. R. Sewell,
106*6 Whitehall street, Wm. Cox,
aged 36, of Austell, Ga., shortly after
noon to-day shot and instantly killed
the physician just as the latter was
emerging from his operating room.
Cox then turned the pistol on himself
and pulled the trigger. He is now at
the Grady hospital with a fractured
skull.
Cox came to this city from his home
in Austell this morning for the purpose,
it is said, of visiting Dr. Sewell,
whose patient he had been for several
weeks.
It is understood that Cox has been
brooding for some time because of
fancied wrongs at the hands of the
physician. He has stated, it is said,
that the physician promised to cure
him of a chronic disease in return
for $100, but instead of getting better
has grown worse.
There were no witnesses to the
shooting, although another patient
who had just left the physician's office
a few seconds previously heard
the shots, and upon running back
found Dr. Sewell dying and Cox unconscious
on the floor.
Dr. Sewell who was 46 years of
age, is survived by a widow and six
children. Cox is unmarried. A coroner's
jury has ordered Cox held for
investigation pending his recovery.
Will Fight Caleb Powers.
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 21.?Determined
to beat Caleb Powers, Republican
nominee for congress if possible,
the Democrats of the Eleventh
district meet at Somerset to-morrow
to name a candidate. Powers recently
defeated Congressman Donn C.
Edwards, also Republican, for congress,
and the Democrats basing high
hopes on the possibility of Edwards's
friends nominating an independent
candidate, profess to see a chance to
elect their man in this long-time
stronghold of Republicans.
There seems to be a disposition
among independent Republicans and
Democrats all over the district to
name the man who might defeat
Powers whether independent Republican
under a Democratic device
or in an indepedent Democrat.
Administration Floor Leader.
Columbia, Sept. 24.?It's some-!
what of a novel idea in this State, |
at least within recent years, to have!
an "administration floor leader for!
the house."
The following appears in a local i
afternoon paper to-day:
"Mr. Gearge R. Rembert. of the
Richland county legislative delegation,
will represent the Blease administration
on the floor of the
house.
" 'There is no secret about it,' said
Mr. Rembert, in discussing the matter.
'It is already known pretty well
in some quarters that Mr. Blease has
asked me to look after administration
matters for him in the house."

BABB TO SUCCEED BROCK.
Stated Laurens Man Will be Recommended
for Position.
Columbia, Sept. 22.?Capt. Oscar
W. Babb ,of Laurens, will be recommended
to Governor Ansel for appointment
as assistant Adjutant General,
vice Col. Wm. T. Brock, resigned,
according to a statement
which was made by Adj. Gen. J. C.
Boyd to-day, following a conference
in his office over the matter.
Col. Brock's resignation takes effect
November 1. His successor
would have but two months in which
in strrvt;. ili ima muuwuuu u^u.
Boyd's statement has revived interest
in the attack upon Col. Moore, nominated
to succeed Gen. Boyd, at the
Laurens meeting this summer by an
opposing candidate for Adjutant General,
Capt. J. M. Richardson, of
Aiken.
Capt. Richardson said he was informed
that Col. .Moore had promised,
if elected, to appoint .Capt
Babb his assistant.
Col. Moore contented himself with
the reply that he hoped his choice for
the position would meet with the ap
proval ot tne national uuara o: soulu
Carolina. It is known here that Capt.
Babb actively furthered Col. Moore's
interests in the campaign.
Capt. Babb was among the visitors
10 the Adjutant General's office
Thursday.
Governor Ansel has not yet received
the recommendation of Gen.
Boyd that Capt. Babb be appointed
assistant Adjutant General. The
recommendation will be received
from the Adjutant General's office tomorrow,
but the appointment is practically
assured.
Gets Five Hundred.
Timmonsville, Ga., Sept. 23.?Alleging
defamation of character, Mrs.
Frances Thompson was given a verdict
of $500 damages in city court
here to-day against R. L. Redfearn, of
this county. She sued for $25,000.
Mr. Redfearn stated that it was in
his capacity as steward of a Methodist
church here, which has control
of the Vashti Home for Girls, that he
was led to speak of Mrs. Thompson
in a manner that caused her suit.
Reports about what he had said
caused Mrs. Thompson to attack him
with a horsewhip in the court house
yard last spring. The fact that an
inmate of the Vashti home was to
take a position vacated by Mrs.
Thompson is said to have caused Mr.
Redfearn's remarks in regard to her
charapter.
To Fight Increase in Rates.
Topeka, Kan., Sept. 22.?Organganized
opposition to the proposed
increase in railroad freight rates
was begun to-day at a conference
of over 150 representatives of commercial
and public organizations of
Middle Western States.
The fight against the proposed
rates is to be carried on principally '
before the interstate commerce commission.
Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas,
Minnesota and Illinois were repre- 1
sented at the conference. The resolution
adopted recommends a decrease
in rates if investigation shows
the present rates are too high; a restriction
of the proposed advance if
present rates are found remunera- 1
tive; a mandatory federal law mak- !
ing it the duty of the interstate ;
commerce commission to make a '
physical valuation of railroad prop
erty fcnd a rigid enforcement of the
anti-trust laws.
The meeting opened with an address
by Gov. Stubbs, of Kansas, !
who recounted the efforts to keep 1
down rates, told of the cost of building
railroads and gave reasons offered
by railroads for advancing fates.
Murd^pk McKenzie, president of
the American Live Stock Associa- ,
tion, was made chairman of the i
meeting and gave figures to show <
railroad earnings declaring the rail- |
road reports do not show them cor- ]
rectly. It is planned to hold other j
meetings of the conference and com- j
mittees were appointed to organize
the work begun to-day.
What's in a Name?
"I don't like your heart action,"
the doctor said, applying the stethoscope
again. "You have had some
trouble with angina pectoris."
"You're partly right, doctor," said
the young man sheepishly; "only
that ain't her name."
The Lash of a Fiend
would have been about as welcome to
A. Cooper, of Oswego, X. Y., as a merciless
lung-racking cough that defied
all remedies for years. "It was most
troublesome at night," he writes,
"nothing helped me until I used Dr.
King's New Discovery which cured
me completely. I never cough at
night now." Millions know its
matchless merit for stubborn colds, ;
obstinate coughs, sore lungs, lagrippe,
asthma, hemorrhage, croup,
whooping cough, or hayfever. It relieves
quickly and never fails to !

TROUBLE AT WEST POINT.
1
Cadets Punished for Administering
"Silence" to Officer.
West Point, N. Y.t September 25.?
Near-mutiny is rampant among the
corps of cadets at the United States
Military Academy. Twice administering
the "silence" to Capt. Edwin
Landon, an instructor, caused the
trouble, and last night and throughout
to-day the cadets have been under
severe measures of discipline.
It appears that Capt. Landon, stationed
here since September 11, as a
tactical officer, incurred the displeasure
of the cadets when he enter?

greeted with the indignity of silence.
Immediately the offending cadets
were ordered to bed supperless, but
despite their hunger the "silence"
was repeated this morning, and once
more the offenders were locked in
their rooms, after having been forced
to march with arms five times around
the barracks.
Because of the performance of last
night, the hop, which had been arranged,
was cancelled, greatly to the
embarrassment of a number of young
women who had come from New
York, Albany, Poughkeepsie, Xewburg
and elsewhere.
Surprise All Around

to the guests," "and Frank
doesn't suspect a thing. I think he
he has even forgotten that to-day's
his birthday. He will get home from
the office about 7 o'clock. Then he
always goes upstairs to take off his
coat and put on his smoking jacket
for the evening. When he is upstairs
I will call out suddenly, 'Oh,
Frank, come down stairs quick!
The gas is escaping.' Then he will
rush down here, unsuspecting, to
find the crowd of friends waiting for
him."
It went off exactly as planned.
Westerleigh came home at the regular
hour and went directly upstairs.
The guests held their breath while
Mrs. Westerleigh called out excitedly/
"Oh, Frank, come down quick. The
gas is escaping in the parlor."
Every light had been turned out,
and the parlor was in perfect dark-|
ness. There was a rapid rush of feet
down the stairway, then a voice said,
"I don't smell any gas." }
"Better light the jet," Mrs. Wes-j
terleigh suggested ' tremulously.
"Here's a matcn."
There was a splutter, and suddenly
the room was flooded with light.
Everybody screamed. The hostess
fainted.
For there, in the center of the
room, stood Westerleigh, attired only
in a natty union suit, with a fresh
pair of trousers carried over his arm.
Birthday parties still form a forbidden
subject of conversation at the
Westerleigh's.?Lippincott's.
BABY SUPPLY PLENTIFUL. I
So Testifies "Incubator" Nurse?Exhibitor
and Wife Fined.
Louisville, Ky., September 24.?
Fines and costs aggregating $242
were assessed against Dr. H. K. Snyder
and his wife, of Pittsburg, Penn.,
who conducted an incubator show at
the State Fair last week in which
three babies died, by Magistrate Day
here to-day.
The doctor's wife was find $1 and
costs on nine warrants, charging the
3ame offence. Twelve warrants
against the two on charges of wilful
injury to babies were dismissed.
Miss Lena Heffner, one of the
nurses, testified that when any of
the babies died they sent to a hospital
in Pittsburg and got a new lot.
She told of one trip she made from
Columbus, Ohio, to Pittsburg for
three habies, when the supply they
had on hand had given out.

Broken Heart Causes Death.
Napoleonville, La., September 26.
?Made insane by continued worry
over the plight of her father who was
serving,a twelve-year sentence in the
State penitentiary, Miss Nailla Simoneaux.
aged eighteen, died here yesterday.
Physicians who attended the young
ivoman, stated that her life could have
probably been prolonged should she
be allowed to see her father, and a
petition for his pardon had Deen circulated
and forwarded to the State
board of pardons, but death resulted
before action could be had on the petition.

RICE GREAT FOOD PRODUCT.
American Supply not Sufficient foi
Home Consumption.
Washington, September 25.?Th?
cultivation of rice, which forms tht
principal food of one-half of the population
of the earth, and which, whet
combined with beans, peas, etc., is
a much cheaper complete food ratior
than wheat and meat, has a brighi
future in the South Atlantic and
Gulf States, according to S. A. Knapp
of the department of agriculture.
While the present annual production
of rice in the United States is
generally slightly less than the consumption,
Mr. Knapp says there is
no satisfactory reason why this country
should not grow and mill all
rice it needs and become an exporter.
The total production of the ricegrowing
States?North and South
Carolina* Florida, Alabama. Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas?
in 1909 is equivalent to about 668,901,600
pounds of cleaned rice. The
annual average imports of cleaned
rice are about 120,648,311 pounds
and the imports of broken rice, flour
and meal 62,806,603 pounds, the
whole having an average value of $3,200.011.
Thus the rice production
in this country can be considerably
increased before the home market
will be supplied.
Dairying in the South.
Dairying is growing in popularity
among the farmers of the Southern
States. They are learning that the
dairy cow can do for the cotton grower
of the South what she has done
for the wheat grower of the North,
i. e.t increase the fertility of the soil
in addition to making most satisfactory
returns for labor and money
expended for feed.
The U. S. Department of agriculture
has been giving particular attention
to this question of the Southern
States the past few years and a great
service has been rendered. A great
impetus has been given to the dairy
movement until now there are thousands
of influential dairymen singing
the praises of the dairy cow and demonstrating
by actual experiments
that dairying is the salvation of that
section of ?he country.
Certain politicians, in order to ere
ate an issue by which they might retain
office, have greatly retarded the
development of the dairy industry
in the cotton growing States by creating
the impression there that the
interests of the cotton grower are
opposed to those of the dairyman.
It has been brought about in this
way: Cotton seed oil is used in the
manufacture of some kinds of oleomargarine.
This has been used tc
prejudice the cotton producer against
any and all kinds of legislation
which in any way regulates or restricts
the sale of oleomargarine.
A careful estimate compiled from
government reports shows that
through the sale of cotton seed oil
which was used in the manufacture
of oleomargarine last year, the cotton
growers of the South actually
received one and one-half cents for
jvery acre planted to cotton!
For every dollar's worth of cotton
?eed oil used last year in making
oleomargarine, one hundred and
i seven dollars' worth of butter was
produced in those same cotton growing
States.
These are facts which every cotton
producer should consider before
lending his support to any movement
which is intended to retard the
growth and development of the dairy
industry in the South.
The Cost of Rooseveltism.
The total expenditures of the
United States government from the
I inqntriimtinn nf Washington in 1789
j to the beginning of the civil war in
1861 were $1,795,273,344.14.
The appropriation bills signed by
Theodore Roosevelt during his second
term in the white house, from March
4, 1905 to March 4, 1909, authorized
expenditures amounting to $3,522,982,816.17.
i
Four years of Rooseveltism cost
twice as much as the first seventytwo
years of the republic!
One term of Theodore Roosevelt
took twice as much money out of the
pockets of the American people as
the combined terms of Washington,
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
John Quincy Adams, Jackson, Van
Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor
Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan.
During the seventy-two years covered
by the administrations of these
fifteen presidents the United States
government paid the Revolutionary
war debt incurred by the States. It
paid the cost of the war 1812. It
paid the cost of the Mexican war. It
bought Louisiana. It bought Florida.
It paid for the Gadsden Purchase. It
acquired all that vast extent of territory
from the Mississippi river to the
Pacific ocean.
What have the American people got
to show for the four years of Rooseveltism
which cost double the money?
And what would be the cost of four
j years more of Roosevelt under the
New Nationalism??New York World.
