New Orlrans, La., Nov. 13.?With a Billing appeal to every interest i'i a stirring appeal to every interest in the South?agricultural, financial holding cotton for higher prices, the joint conference committee of the National Farnn rs' Union and financial interests of New Orleans, adjourned today. The appeal is ad dressed to the people of the cotton belt and is as follows: "We, the joint committee of the National Farmers' Union and of th< financial and commercial interests of New Orleans, realizing that confidence in cotton market conditions lias been impaired, and the apprehension thereby engendered has caused more rapid marketing of cotton than has ever been known, and believing that the holding of cotton at the present time will permit the healthy assimilation of temporary superabundance and restore normal conditions under which remunerative prices may be obtained, hereby earnestly appeal to every farmer, merchant and banker and other holders and owners of cotton, to hold back, so far as they can, their present holdings and not Hell unless absolutely compelled to do so, until the price of cotton shall have reached a substantially increased figure, "We especially request all merchants and bankers of th*> cotton belt to extend the obligation of the cotton grower, when called upon to do so, for a reasonable period, and to do all other things in their power to aid and encourage sum growers and holders of cotton, believing, as we do, that all the business conditions of the world, and especially of the cotton world, steadily point toward better prices than now obtained. "We believe that such concerted and determined action will logically, and in all probability, increase the present inadequate price paid for cotton." Committees wero named to investigate the public ware house plan, which calls for a quasi public commission, appointed by the State of Louisiana, to control the operation of a large ware house to be built on the river front at Now Orleans. The proposed ware house is designed to hold from l.&OO.OOO to 3,000,Uu0 bales of cotton. SHOOTS HIMSELF. Young Mill Hand at Anderson Commits Suicide. Anderson, Nov. 9.?T. A.

He was gasping for breath, and was unconscious. A doctor was hastily called who ministered to him, but his life could not lie saved.

OollrgP Authorities and State Health i Officials Ciu Over the Situation An Official Statement. ltock Hill, Nov. 10.?On November 4 the State health officer wub notified by the acting president o! Wlnthrop college that there had been an outbreak of typhoid foyer In that institution. At the same time the matter was reported to the local health authorities and they, together with the college physicians and the State health officer, Immediately began investigations. Assuming drinking water and milk to bo the two most fruitful sources for the spread of the disease, it was deemed wise to eliminate these sources at the earliest possible moment. An arrangement was made with the city authorities to procure from them city water. Milk an 1 butter produced .'it the college dairy were eliminated from the diet of the st udents. A minute and thorough investigation was then carried on to see it in any way the infection might come from other sources. This invest! I nation not pointing conclusively to any specific source, the health offlcer reported the findings to the chairman of the State hoard of I health, who railed a meeting of the hoard on November 9 at. Winthrop l college for the purpose of studying the situation and of advising the authorities \vh;\t. policy to pursue under existing conditions. The hoard, accompanied l?y Dr. J. U. Miller, a representative of the local hoard, the college physicians, Dr. Boyd and Dr. Crawford, Dr. 1.

After this investigation the board, in session with the gentlemen mentioned, discussed the phase of the situation and made the following statement: "After a study and discussion of the evidence collected from the investigation made, this body does not feel that the situation is alarming. While no specific source of infection can do aonniteiy decided upon, It Is the opinion of the body that since tho inauguration of tho precautionary measures which are now being rigidly enforced the epidemic will die out as soon as the period of incubation has passed."

Count in Various Congressional Districts Also Held Up for an Unreasonable Time. | Washington, Nov. 10.?For some] reason or other the returns from the various congressional district have been coming in exceedingly incomplete, and from some doughtfui districts they have not come in at all; so that with all the tables being published in various newspapers purporting to show the exact membership of the Sixty-first congress, there is no really reliable Information at hand even now, over a week after the election. Dispatches from Washington and New York have been enumerating ivahn and Hays, Republican members from California, re-elected for Instance. Mr. Kahn's secretary here has received a telegram from Kahti himself saying that both he and Hays have been defeated. Yet not one single dispatch from California has announced the result. There is an impression here that the returns have been held back to bo fixed. There are several instances of holding back returns in Indian i, Mill ?1 M A Ulnln nrklnl. vz ii i \ f Him uvuci ututu n iiii.ii n vi u doubtful, l)ii t whore the election machinery was In the hands of Republicans, which are suspicious. There arc those hereabouts familiar with methods in those States when tlie G. O. P. has a bar'l of money who express a serious doubt as to Indiana's giving Marshall, the Democratic candidate for governor, a plurality of 1 0,000 and Taft a plurality of 15,000. Indiana is a notoriously corrupt State politically, and the Republicans poured several huudred thousand dollars into it during the closing days of the election, and yet it has not been fully determined whethei they bought up the voters themselves or some of the election managers. And it is the same as to other States. A Republican newspaper man from Ohio said to me the other dav that it was his belief that tho Ohio returns wore held hack because the the Republican leaders were ashamed of Taft's small majority and thai they would announce them at a time when they would not attract so much attention. It is still a matter of some considerable doubt throughout the country whether Taft's majority in Ohio was 75,000 or 25,000. And some doubt whether Taft carried Ohio at all, legitimately.
