Now Orleans Convention Adjourns
After Making Urgent l'lon That
llusiucss People of the South Aid
in the Movement for Hotter Prices
for the Smith's (ireatest Crop.
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. Sims,
aged thirty years, a weaver in the
Hrogon Mill, committed suicide in
a patch of woods near the mills
just outside tho city ^imits this
afternoon by firing a 32-calibre pistol
ball in liis right, temple. Death resulted
25 minutes after the shot wt/.s
fired.
Siins moved to Anderson from
Fort Mill some four years ag).
Two years ago he married Miss Me,!sie
Finlayson, daughter of Robert
Finalyson, of the Anderson Mills,
and his family troubles have been
many. It is sabj that he drank
considerably at times and that on
account of his intemperance his wife
lias left him several times. She left
him last week and he had been intoxicated
for several days, so it is
said, lie has not worked for four
weeks, and it is supposed that remorse
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 hia right temple. He was
gasping for breath, and was unconscious.
A doctor was hastily called
who ministered to him, but his life
could not lie saved. The bullet
lodged in the skull over the right
eye, and the brains wero scattered
over his body and the ground.

GETS THE CASH.
Stalvey's First Wife (Jets Money in
Atlnntu Hunk.
A dispatch to The News and Courier
says news lias been received there
of the action of the presiding judge
in the Atlanta county court in granting
a decree, giving tho entire sum
of money deposited in an Atlanta
bank by George M. Stalvey to
Mrs. Elizabeth Stalvey, his alleged
ilrst wife.
Mrs. Stalvey contended that this
sum of money?about $700?was
earned whilo she and Stalvey wore
living together as husband and wife
and that she earned a portion of
tho money, which had been deposited
in his name, and she Instituted proceedings
to recover a portion of the
money as being hers and also asked
the court for alimony, and this accounts
for tho fact that she recovers
the whole amount.
Notice was given that the case
would be appealed. She was represented
in this action by Lamar
Hill, Esq., of Atlanta. it. will be
recalled that Stalvey was recently
convicted in the Aiken court of bigamy,
having married Miss Etta
Light foot, of Orangeburg, and Mrs.
Elizabeth Stalvey alleging that she
was his rightful wife.
STANDARD OIL WINS OUT.
Seems to Have Bought Courts as
Well as Flection.
Chicago, Nov. 10.?Tho government's
petition for a rehearing of
the case in which tho United State*
circuit court of appeals reversed tho
trial court in finding tho Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, $29,240,000
for alleged rebating, was denied J?
the court of appeals today.
It is authoratlvely stated that the
government will now attempt to
bring the whole matter before the
Supreme Court on a writ certiorari.
The government in its petition for
a rehearing intimated that if the
opinion of tho judges of the nppelat*
court, Grousscup, Seaman asd linker,
were allowed to stand it would nullify
nearly every shred of rate reformatory
legislation accomplished
by the Roosevelt administration.

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.
VV. llabcock of the State health offlce
made a sanitary survey of the
water supply, a thorough investigation
of the dairy, college buildings
and grounds. 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."

VOTES HELD BACK
SUSPICION OF FKAUD IN OHIO
AND INDIANA.
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.

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.

not have to be taken all the time.
Ordinarily you only take Kodol now
and then, because it completely digests
all the food you eat and after

can digest the food without the
