THE DISEASE DREADED
?
The United States, New York State
and City Health Officers Taking
Strenuous Methods to Prevent the
Spread of the Terrible Malady in
This Country.
The United States. New York State
and City medical authorities have
. been working ni^ht and day for the
f* past week or more in and around
New York city to prevent the spread
of the dread Asiatic cholera, which
lias already claimed several victims
at the Swinburne quarantine station
near that city. All suspects are being
held at the station. The situation
is serious, as cholera spreads
with groat rapidity when it gets a
foothold In a country.
Every possible effort is being made
I by this government to prevent the
* Inroads of cholera to the United
States. With the most rigid quaiantine
in force in New York; the
Federal public health service has
f strengthened its inspection abroad
and detailed instructions have been
issued to all health officials as to the
best means of facing the menace. Assistant
Surgeon General is watching
ij the situation here tor the public

with Surgoon General Wyman and
co-operatng with Dr. Doty at quarantine.
All vessels arriving in this
country are being thoroughly inIspected.
At Palermo, Naples, and other Italian
ports, cholera Is epidemic. Ttin dreds
of victims have died from within
one to 2 4 hours after contracting
the disease. On the steamship
sailing from Italy to the United
States, the Italian government, trying
its best to co-operate with the
American health officials, sena specf
lal health officers to observe any passengers
who may show signs of
^ cholera. These officers have been of
valuable assistance to the American
officials. Quite a largo ni\nber of
ships have been held in quarantine
at Swinburne and Hoffman islands
the past two weeks, no passengers
being permitted to enter the por* 01
New York.
Cholera has developed among some
^ of the passengers after they have
been in quarantine for over a week,
which emphasizes the fact that the
strickest sort of guard must be kept
on passengers from Italian ports.
Dr. Doty said regarding a visit from
one of the bacteriological experts of
I Con. Walter Wyman's Marine Hospital
corps at Washington:
"The visit of this expert shows the
^increased precautionary methods
which are being taken by the United
States Government all along the
coast to prevent Italy's present outbreak
of cholera from entering this
country. The Government is going
into the (bacteriological side of this
threatened cholera invasion with unusual
care.
f4m "The thing In fighting cholera
\ Is to isolate each case as soon as it
is suspected, and, secondly, to take
B care that there Is no local infection,
like the contamination of the water
supply, in the place where the suspect
teases are isolated. That ts
$ ^ why I detained all the passengers of
|[ the Moltke, although at the time
there were no absolute cases of
cholera among them. I let the crew
take the vessel back to Europe, but
* refused to allow any of them to come
ashore.
"Great precautions are also being
S taken at Italian ports to keep the
[ cholera from leaving them and getP
ting to this country. The American
[ and Italian governments and the
aleamship companies themselves are
<*>mbining to segregate all prospeclivo
passengers on large floats in
f' Italian harbors for several days be[
fore the ships actually sail for this
[' country. Preliminary symptoms of
L illness are carefully watched for. All
Ji private stocks of foodstuffs and fluids
[ a retaken away from the passengers
and bacteriological examinations in
I many cases are made,
r Cholera, the prim? cause of which
B is one of the most perplexing quesI
tions with which scientists have to
I deal, originated in the East Indies
[ rnd was not known to migrate for
B mnro than 1.000 years. It did not
snread in Europe until 1830, when
it created terrible ravages. The
' Russians took it from India through
couriers and stage coaches. Cholera
is usually ushered in by vomiting
and griping pains in the stomach.
Death follows in from one to 24
hours. If life is retained longer than
|V this time, the patient may recover.
> A large percentange of the cases die.

? * A petition signed by five hundred
citizens of Anderson, including every
member of the coroner's Jury, asking
for a special term of Criminal
Court to try Samuel N. Hyde for the
murder of his wife and father-in-law,
has been sent in to Solicitor Bonham.
The next term of general sessions is
not scheduled until late In September.

BEATHE ACCUSED
?
COUSIN ADMITS BUYING GUN FOR
THE FATAL DEED.
Him band of Slain Woman Remains
Perfectly Calm, but His Cousin
Falls in Faint.
The missing link in the chain of
evidence which the detectives have
been forging in the cas of the murdr
of Mrs. Henry Clay Beattie, Jr..
who was slain last Tuesday night,
five miles south of Richmond on the
Midlothian turnpike, while automoblllng
with her husband, was supplied
Friday afternoon .when Paul
Beattie. a cousin of Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr., made formal confession to
the police that he bought for Henry
and delivered to him last Tuesday
the gun with which Mrs. Beattie was
killed.
Thereupon both Henry Clay Beattie,
Jr., and Paul Beattie were arrested,
tand the former was brought
to the Richmond city Jail, where he
is now confined.
Paul fell in a dead faint on being
told he was under arrest, and later
writhed in convulsions. He was so
violent tn-at ne niaa to De nanucuneu
and thus manacled he was taken to
the city home for medical treatment.
The Inquest proceeded as per adjournment
at the home of Coroner
Loving, In Chesterfield county. At
seven o'clock Friday afternoon a
further adjournment was had until
12:30 o'clock Saturday.
Ilenry Clay Beattie, Jr., was the
first witness heard. The commonwealth
line of questioning indicated
its belief that his wife was killed in
the road where the large blood stain ;
was found, the automobile's djrip j
pan having caught the hemorrhage
after the body was placed in the oar.
Inquiry for the clothing worn by
Mrs. Beattio brought out the startling
fact that her clothing had been
burned by her family, who, it was
explained, wished to destroy that
gruesome reminder of the tragedy.
Beattie was on the stand for over
two hours, and in spite of all tests
such as the reconstruction of the
scene at the moment of the crime,
stuck to his original account of the
tragedy.
On being arrested he remained perfectly
cool, affording thus a striking
contrast to his cousin. He exhibited
neither surprise nor emotion.
His only request was that he be given
a newspaper. This was handed
him, and he read it apparently witn
deep interest. Then he threw it to
the floor, lit a cigarette and looked
dreamily Into space. *

Secretary of Agriculture W>flson
may be asked to resign as the result
of the hornet's nest he permitted to
be stirred up over Dr. Harvey W.
Wiley, Government pure food expert.
It Is declared the President is re- ,

affair may result In a mild reproach j
for Dr. Wiley and the ousting of
realizes that Secreatry Wilson might
have averted the whole trouble if he .
had been more watchful of the details
of the /business of his department
and had shown more courage ;
and decisiveness in dealing with the
affair at the outset. It is evidently ?
the purpose of the President to put j
the brunt of the embarrassing affair j
on Secretary Wilson. This is shown <
by the President's refusal to permit
the Secretary of Agriculture to longer j
sidestep responsibility, as he has ;
done from the beginning. * 1

Mrs. Caroline Aiken Robertson, 1

of the South Carolina Cotton 1
Oil Company's plant in Columbia, <
(lied at the Columbia Hospital Sat- 1
urday evening, without regaining 1
consciousnesss, 'half an hour after *
fialling from the second floor level
to the basement, down the elevator '
shaft in the National Loan and Exchange
Bank building. Just how 1
the accident occurred may never be *
known. It is the prevailing theory 1
that as the elevator came up the ,
operator opened the door, thinking r
Mrs. Robertson wished to go to a ,
higher floor; that on finding she
wished to go down instead, he start- ^
ed his car upward and, as the floor
of the rar rose and before the door
had closed, Mrs. Robertson, whose f
hearing was defective, stepped for- ?
ward and fell into the shaft, or else i
that the door did not catch as the ?

down the shaft, was struck by the \

The Blue and the Cray marched
across the fields of Manassas to meet
each other again Friday. This incident,
unique in history, the meeting
of Federal and Confederate veterans
on the field Where they fought a
mighty l>attle just 5 0 years ago, attracted
as witnesses the President
of the United States, the Governor
of Virginia, the home of the Confederate
capital, and visitors from many
States.
It was the crowning feature of
the Manasas peace jubilee and t&nnlnn

President Taft and Governor Mann
long ago had accepted invitations to
he the guests of honor of the day,
to review the lines of gray-haired
veterans and make addresses in the
afternoon. In the evening they met
the old soldiers and other visitors at
a public reception.
The following program was carried
out:

It was on July 21, 1861, just 50
years ago, that Bull Run ,or the first
battle of Manassas, was fought. The
Confederates, under Johnson, were
accredited with a decisive victory over
the Union forces, under McDowell,
the retreat of the Federals leaving
practically a clear road to Washington
for the Confederates, it is said,
had they chosen to continue their
advance on the Capital.
This was the first real battle of
the war, and its result iawakened the
North for the first time to a realization
of what the secession of the
Southern States meant. It was here
that "Stonewall" Jackson gained
the name which will be associated
with his memory for all time.
In August, 18 62, Manassas was
again the scene of a bloody battle.
Leo and Pope contended for the mastery.
As in the former baftle, the
Federals were terribly beaten, the
Confederates capturing thousands of
prisoners and millions of dollars
worth of stores, thousands of small
arms and many cannon . The battle
lines in the second battle were re

The Manassass National Anthem,

CROP REPORTS A FRAUD
NO ESTIMATES ON COTTON CROP
WILL BE ISSUED.
Senator Smith Points Oat *ue Absuridity
of the Guess to the Secretary
of Agriculture.
Senator E. D. Smith gave out the
following interview Thursday, after
a call on the Secretary of Agriculture:
"On July 3 ta statement of the condition
of the cotton crop was issued
from the department of agriculture
putting the condition at 88.2 per
cent of normal, as compared with
a ten year average of 80 per cent.
Also, that the acreage of cotton w\as
about 35,000,000 acres. To quote
the exact language of the alleged report
in this respect, it says.
" 'The report shows condition of
the crop to be higher than on any
corresponding date in the last ten
years/ A month ago the general
condition was 8.5 per cent above the
ten year average. Today it is 10.3
per cent above the ton-year average.
" 'The acreage of cotton this year
is about 35,000,000, allowing for the
average amount of abandonment,
about 1,000,000 acres, the indications/
are that 'approximately 3 4,000,000
acres of cotton will be harvested.
" 'The condition indicates a probable
yield of 2 0 2.8 pounds per acre,
which, on 3 4,00 0,000 acres would
mean 6,805,000,000 pounds, or about
14,4 25,000 bales.'
"This being the first estimate of
the kind and realizing its immense
value to the speculator and gambler
I believed that there was some mistake
somewhere. It makes no difference
as to the fact, this is a mere
guess, for coming, as it is alleged
to have done, from the agricultural
department, it darried with it official
weight, and therefore, was calculated
to have vastly more effect
nivnn tho mnrkpt than lauv private I
guess could have. I, therefore, this
morning, interviewed Secretary Wilson
in person. He informed me this
estimate was without the sanctios of
law, and that on account of the
i -any influences that, are likely to
occur in effecting the final yield or
the crop, J: was foolishness for any
one t*. Mtempt to forecast the yield
at this date. That, if this did come
from any of his divisions, that it
was the first and the last time it
would occur.
"Of course, the damage to a large
extent has been done. That is, Its
effect on the price of cotton has already
been felt, but it is due to the
public, the cotton growers and the
legitimate cotton dealers to know
tha't the agricultural department
does not lend its sanction to the
alleged estimate.
"As an Illustration of the absurdity
of an attempt to make a guess
now, in 1908 we had 32,344,000
acres, and made 13,432,000 bales;
in 1910 we had 32,403,000 acres,
and made 11,560,000 bales; in 1900
we had 31,374,000 acres, and made
13,3 05,000 bales; in 1 907 we had
31,31 1,000 acres, and made 11,3 25,000
bales.
"Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Aalbama are
infested with the weevil. The pest
begins its ravages about the 15th of
July. The extent of Its ravages are
largely dependent upon the condition
of the weather. If there is an excess
of rain the damage done by the
weevil is increased; if there is not
an excess of rain the damage is lessened.
Already many complaints are
coming in from these sections of too
much rain. This factor, together
with many others that the cotton
trade if familiar with, make it impossible
to foretell what the ultimate
yield may be. And I am extremely
gratified to know from the Secretary
in person, that this dangerous and
preliminary estimate will not be
made again." *
Army Worms Come.
A Tvittle Rock dispatch says Chas.
Chemning, of Little Rock county, has
brought to the city a pail of army
worms taken from his cotton fields,
which, ho says, rre overrun with the
pest. The worms have as yet done
nr?.'c ically iittb* damage but they (
only made their appearance lasr. Sen- ,

PASS THE BILL
Large Majority ia (he Seaate tar the
Kecipracitj leatare
HOW SENATORS VOTED
By a Vote of 53 to 27 the Bill is
Finally Disposed of, Awaiting Only
Signature of President *nd Ratification
by Canadian Parliament
to Become Country's Daw.
The reciprocal trade agreement
between the United States and Canada,
embodied in the reciprocity bill
that proved a storm centre in two
sessions of Congress, passed the
Senate Saturday, without amendment,
by a vote of 53 to 27. A majority
of the Republicans voted
against it. Of the 53 votes for it,
32 were Democratic and 21 Republican;
of tho 2 7 against, 24 were Republican
and 3 Democratic.
This action settled the whole Can
ad'an reiprocity question, so far as
Congress Is concerned, and save for
Executive approval and the Canadian
Parliainant's ratification virtually
made the pact the law of the land.
Congressional practice will delay
the affixing of the President's signature
until next Wednesday, when tho
House is again in session. Tho reciprocity
bill, having originated in
the House, must be returned there
for engrossment and for the signature
of Speaker Clark, while the
House is sitting.
The Canadian Parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement, and,
with one exception, the provisions of
the bill as passed by Congress will
not become effective until the President
issues a proclamation that Canada
has ratified the pact. Tho exception
to this procedure is in the
paper tand pulp section of tho bill,
which, it is announced, will become
immediately effective when the President
signs tho bill.

PAID HIM WELL

GETS SMALL FORTUNE FOR BB*
ING KINO TO OLD MAN.
Exchanged Sleeping Car Berth With
Hint and Young Man Is Gives
Twenty Thousand Dollars..
Four years ago William R. O'Neal,
a young business man of BainbrKLge,
Ga., exchanged a lower berth for an
upper one with a foeble old gentle*
man who was journeying to Florida
for his health.
The Atlanta Constitution says on
last Wednesday O'Neal learned that
the chance friend had left him a fortune
of $20,000, which will be turned
over to him as soon as he complies
with certain legal formalities.
"Aw, come on, come on; I know
?# i j rv > xr i j a
you are lying, suiu u ^oai gooa naiuredely
to the man who informed
him of his good fortune. They were
walking up Peachtree street at the
time.
"Well, I congratulate you anyway,
whether you believe it or not, and
you can find out for yourself that
the man's son is here looking for
you," was the reply.
And O'Neal did find out that the
statement is correct. J. T. Young,
Jr., of Oakland, Cal., reached Atlanta
Wednesday on a search for O'Neal,
(Mr. Young, Sr., having left him a
substantial fortune in his will. Mr.
Young did not know his address and
enlisted the local press in the search.
Nr. O'Neal is 2 6 years old. lie
reached Atlanta Wednesday after living
for some time in Macon. He was
born in Rainbridge, and is the son
of Mrs. Chloe O'Neal, a widow of that
place.
"What are you going to do with
your fortune?" Mr. O'Neal was asked
by one who had visions of a turkey
dinner, an automobile, a trip
to Europe and a new overcoat.
"Do. Well, T hardly know yet definitely,
but T will invest it and probably
go to work for myself. That's
lot better that working for someone
else," answered the level-headed
young chap. *
Faked Whole Story.
The Atlanta Journal says Thursday
a voice, a nice, trustworthy
voice, that carried well over the
telephone and inspired confidence.
announced that it's owner was J. T.
Young, Jr., and that J. T. Young,
Sr., recently deceased at Oakland,
Cal., had left $20,000 to W. R.
O'Neal, of Georgia. The voice asked
the Atlanta papers to kindly assist
in the search for W. R. O'Neal,
The papers kindly did. O'Neal was
straightway found?in Atlanta. Ho
expressed his joy and surprise. It
is now darkly hinted that these joy
and these surprise were as mythological
as the sick old gentleman in
Florida.
As soon as W. R. O'Neal waa
found he was arrested for jumping
a board bill in EaCrange, also for
passing three worthless checks. He
is now in jail in LaGrange.
At the same time came a telegram,
in response to inquiries, from Oakland,
Cal., that no ,T. T. Young, either
senior, or junior, either dead or
alive, was known in thiose parts.
The Youngs who did live in Oakland,
who had other initials, denied
all knowledge of W. R. O'Neal and
of the sick old gentleman in Florida.
Whose the voice was is a mystery,
and there is still a bare possibility
that there is some mistake,
and. that O'Neal has really become
an heir. Until the truth is certified,
it may be well for hopeful travelers
to continue the pretty custom of relinquishing
their lower berths to
sick old gentlemen in Florida.
