was organized by several Socialist |
and labor bod too. A blaok bordered
banner woe raided agatnw. the Nelson"
oolumn with big letters that

At Now York Saturday night Dr.
Frederick A. Cook auuounced that
ho had organized an expedition to
ascend Mount McKinley and produce
the rwords which he says were
left there on his former ascent.
This step will be taken to refute
the chargw that he did not attain
the summit of the mountain as set
forth in the affidavit of Kdward N.
Barrlll. the guide who accompanied
him. In a statement to the Associated
Tress Dr. Cook said:
Upon my return from Atlantic City
I conferred with a confidential agent
whom I had sent to Montana to investigate
stories which had reached
in.* iu Kansas City to the effect that
strong inducements had been offered
Kdward N. Barrill, the guide who accompanied
nie to th>' summit of
Mount McKinley in the summer of
1906. This confident agent returned

After thorough investigation there
he reports to me that an offer of a
Considerable sum of money was made
to Mr. Barrill on the condition that
he prepare and sicn an allidavit
which would be calculated to discredit
my claim that I succeeded in
scaling the Alaskan peak. This offer,
so my representative informs me,
was made to Mr. Hnrrill in the presence
of C. G. .Bridgford, a reputuble
citizen of Hamilton, Montana, who
is associated with Mr. llarrill in the
real estate business.
Barrill ut that time, according to
the statement of Mr. Bridgford to
my representative, declined to make
such an affidavit and informed the
men who had requested him to swear
that I did not reach the top of Mount
McKlnley that to moke such an affidavit
he would have to commit perjury
and sell his own soul.
"Within the next 48 hours, however,
affidavits made by prominent
citizens of Hamilton, Mont., will be
handed over to the Associated Bress,
and will be to the effect that during
the last three years Barrill has continually
rehearsed the Mount McKlnley
story and has at nil times
insisted that we succeeded in reaching
the summit of the mountain. No
one has been found in Hamilton who
can testify that at any time he has
ever heard Barrlll tell the story as ,
it is related by hiin In his sworn 1
affidavit.
"I have received numerous telegrams
from reputable citizen of Montana.
who have talked with Barrlll
and are willing to make affidavits as i
to his former version of the Mount

hourly as reports are received from
remote districts and as wire communication

The storm of Thursday night was
the worst that has visited this section
of the South in years, being
intense in its destroying fury and
widespread in its area. Whole sections
of counties were laid in waste,
towns destroyed and plantations
greatly damaged.

Cotton Mills /Ire Changing From
Course to Fine Product**.
According to a preliminary statement
prepared by ComuiUsloner
Watson, the consumption of cottou
by the mills of the State this yaer
will be 4 5,D19 bales less than last
year.
The consuming of a less number of
bales this year is caused by the fact
that most of the mills are changing
or have already changes! from a
coarse to a liner product. Changing
from a coarse grade to a finer
grade materially Increases the vulu*
of the product. It dot\s not mean
that ther? hrtu K.- "

a production, but rather increased
value of production, a product which
can be placed directly from the mills
on the Southern markets.
Only about 15 mills, and half of
their production, turn out expert
goods, according to the statement.
Up until a few years ago all of
the mills manufactured a coarse
grade of cloth. Since 1907 there has
been a gradual change from the
coarse to the fine goods, all of which
1h beneficial to the manufacturer,
farmer and consumer.
The total number of bAlea need
In 1908 was 793,396. The following,
giving bales consumed by milla,
will prove Interesting:
1880, 33,624 bales; 1890, 138,342
bales; 1900, 485.024 bale*:
190G, 555,467 bales; 1907. 774,94G
