READY TO FLEE Ike Maacba Djaastj Seeai It be ia a Meal Perileoi Sinatiea. THE REBELS ARE ON TOP The Armies of the Imperialists and Rebels Moving Hlowly and Under Poor UJeMeralship?Defeat to tlio Former Would be Croat Calamity to the l*resent Dynasty. News from Peking, China ia to tho effect that further defections to the rebels including Nan Chang, Capital of the province of Kiang Sian Kwellin, Capital of Kwang have served to increase the tension there of the revolution To add to tho seriousness of the situation the Tze Cheng Yuan China's first National Assembly, Wednesday gave to the Munch us what the legations consider an ultimatum. The Assembly impeached Sheng Husan Pual, president of tho ministry of posts and communications, and demanded his dismissal with severe punishment. The charges against Sheng Ilsuan Puai were formulated by the people of Szc Obuen, Hu Peh and Hu Nan. Skeng negotiated the loans for the nationalization of tho railways and has been a leading advocate of tho anti-provineial policy, which Is regarded as largely responsible for the revolution. Tho inhabitants of those provinces hare shown strong opposition to the proposed railway loan. At the meeting of tho Assembly Wednesday members urged that they were not against foreign loans, but against the methods employed and the result which wero tantamount to robbing China who had already begun the railways in selling thein out to foreigners. Sheng'e secretary produced a written statement from his chief, who, like the other members was absent from the meeting of tho Assembly, but he was shouted down. Cries of iU/x "Decaptia.te sneng rang uruu gli nit; hall. No one attempted to defend the minister. When the Assembly rose to vote, even the front row of Manchu princes, evidently intimidated by the radicals stood up demanding the noted Mandarin's degradation. The only course open to the Government it either to sacrifice a man who is considered by foreigners the strongest member of the Cabinet or retaining hi m, declare war on tho Assembly as well as the vast majority of Chinese. Gen. Yin Tchang's silence has given rise to innumerable speculations. Tho "war minister who is in tho field, teems to consider it unnecessary to communicate anything but his needs to the President of the Government board. Only the palace seems to know his intentions. The Imperialist's commander has not been followed by any foreigners and it is impossible to ascertain whether or not reports regarding the Imperial army are true. Some reports say his army upon which the dynasty's hope depends, is seriously disorganized. The troops have been pushed forward without having been safeguarded in any manner which would already have meant disaster had the enemy been more capable. Nevertheless, in spite of disorganization and disaffection the army evidently 'has moved steadily forward. A wireless report from Hankow recently indicates that the Imperialist and revolutionary forces are already close to each other. Revolutionary sympathizers excuse the lack of initiative on the part of Gen. Li Yuan Heng, the rebel commander by crediting him with a deep laid plan to permit Yin Tchang to enter the IIu Poll bordce pass an then cut him off. ? m But military men cruuru numvi commander with great ability. Undoubtedly tho palace is urging the war minister forward because of the dire necessity of a prompt victory. Should he fail to fight, or lose his first Berious engagement there appears no hope of checking the revolt. Trains go down to the South laden with soldiers and equipment, hut they do not return. The troops set forth without sufficient ammunition t.hen quantities of ammunition follow but no commissary supplies, There are rumors of mutinies retreats and desertions. Tho moral po Bition of tho rebels is stronger man that of the Imperialists. They could lose a battle without a complete defeat, having other cities to rally a round. But the defeat of Yin Tchang in view of tho wavering of troops everywhere, would leave tho dynast) unable to cope with the situation ir a single province. It is commonlj reported in Peking that the Iinper ial family is ready for flight. The road to Jehol, 115 miles northeast of Peking is etudded with troops Other rumors designate the foreigr settlement in Tien Tsien as the pos Bible refuge. BOB Lost Their Lives In Mine.

The Charlotte Observer eays the Price-Campbell cotton picker, that has been giving dally demonstrations near Charlotte during the past ten days, Is already a practical success. It Is not perfect, ,but It approximates perfection so nearly that its operation in present form removes every pestige of doubt that tho processes for picking cotton are at this moment revolutionized. Improvements will, of course, be added from year to yeard. Such is the history of every form of machaniom that has been lifted from its crudity to completeness. With tho features that have within late years been added, themselves of :-,o vast proportions that the present mechanism hardly resembles- in actual form or theory the early types of construction put out, the machine is now able to straddle the rows of i ,-x,? ,??i u i iu11 ciiiu 111 I., |n;i iiinutj |ic;i cent of the staple from the bolls, leaving the foliage, the unopened bolls, the blooms and the stalks entirely unharmed. In acheiving this wonderful feat, the machine verily seems to "have sense." Without running into ecstactea over the promised revolution in cotton picking coming about through the machine, it is certainly not going too far to comment strongly upon the wonderful operations it performs. Remembering that it was only a few years ago when the first machanlsm was dreamed of and later put together that had for Its purpose the picking of cotton, wo are bound to admit that the present evolution strongly rebukes our skepticism as to the practical and useful purposes of the device. We recall that only about eight years ago the first successful aeroplane fight was made and even now it is admitted that scheme has a long stretch to go beforo it perfects a flying machine that will serve as an adjunct to civilization to a successful degree. The Wrights were the victims of universal derision when they entered into this realm of activity and promised the world a vehicle by which speed could be accomplished through the regions above. That wa? a great day in the development of the race when these inventors put together their first machine for aerial navigation. Witness, too, the triumphant develment in the art of type-setting that opnient and only a few years ago was left as a tedious task for the human fingers. The world laughed and scorned at Mergenthaler when he announced the invention of a machine that would remove this business of sotting type lines from the 1* r* %-* /I r> t* n n /I lnnirn t lin t o air fnr 1IHI1U Ul 111(111 <11111 IUCI I c uuv Ki.dn. iui the accomplishment of a machanism. The doubts of all were soon vanished and even within this short time practically every newspaper of consequence possesses a machine that sets its type. Compare the early models of the steam engine, the cotton gin, the telegraph instrument, the automobile and all of the agencies of our comlort. and progress of today and when the vast stretch of difference is closely reviewed, we are driven to the confession that the improvement that has been achieved in the cotton picking machine is as triumphant as any j of them. The Price-Campbell device represents the ultimate consummation of this particular science. Its picking mechanism consists of two batteries of steel piking spindles or fingers with teeth cut on one side, the points of tlie teeth being with the periphery. This permits the fingers to revolve in the plant without injury to foliage, boom, boll, or squahe. There are 810 of these flngi ers, equaly divided between the bati teries. The principle of tlie picking is interesting. All involved is the synchronized movement of the vehicle i passing forward and the picking mechanism moving toward the rear of the machine while working. The forward movement of the vehicle and the rear warn action of the mechanism, being at the same speed, 1 the fingers, as they are thrust into tho bolls remain relatively station. ary to any given stalk or point on . the stalk. This synchronized move{ ment explains the fact that the stalk I and its contents aro unharmed as . they pass through this delicate and . intricate network of steel spindles and emerge from tho rear of the 1 heavy machine. The machine is unquestionably a , success and of practical benefit. For r this immediate section whero cotton. growing is limited, the time Is hardj ly here for local adaptability, but in j. the Southwest, the device is bound to find ready acceptance and will { doubtless come early into several employment. In the meantime, the new features which will from time to time be added will eventuate in a machine that will be of universal advantage to the cotton Industry of the South. ? ?

Nearly Eight Millies Bales Picked Up te Octeber Eighteen. EXCEEDS FORMER YEARS Cotton Made Ready For Market Largely Exceeds the Amount Chined To Same Date In Preceding rT'l???<vi? Usvn? ?? Will Ho S#?r?n l>v the Report Published Below. Cotton grinning throughout the South since the picking of the crop of 1911 began has been carried on with greater activity this season than in any year in the history of the industry and has resulted in the unprecedented quantity of 7,710 654 bales of cotton ginned to October 18 and 1,04 4 4 69 more than the big sued at 10 o'clock Wednesday showed that greater quantities were ginno.i rlnrfjif? fbe sonsnn in everv cot ton State except Oklahoma. There were 2,316 000 bales more than were ginned last year to the same date; 1,112 2 74 0 bales more than during the record crop year of 1904, and 47.7 per eent of this year's total crop of 13 69 7,310 running bales were ginned to October 18 and 1,4 4,4 G9 more than the big crop of 1908 when 48.1 per cent of the year's crop of 13 43 2,131 running bale* were ginned to that date. Throughout the growing season various conditions caused the crop to mature much earlier than in most provious years and harvest conditions have been excellent in most districts of the cotton belt. In Texas the ginning surpassed previous record by more than 600,000 bales; in Georgia by 428,000 bales; in Alabama by 13 8 000 bales; in North Carolina 129,000 bales, and in South Carolina by 132,000 bales. The number of running bales counting round as half bales, with comparative statistics to the corresponding date for the past three years and the percentage of the total crop ginned to October 18 in these years is as follows: 7,740 634 bales, compared with 5 423,628 bales last year< when 46.9 per cent of the entire crop was ginned to October 18; 5 530,967 bales in 1909, when 54.8 per cent was ginned, and 6,296 1 66 bales in 1908, when 48.1 per cent was ginned.

Advocates a Method After the Fashion of the Ilrazilian Coffee Valorization Scheme. Mr. Theodore H. Price, head of the Price-Campbell Cotton Picker Corporation and one of the foremost figures in the cotton world of today, suggests in a letter to Gov. Colquitt, of Texas, a plan for financing the cotton crop of the South after the ~ i)?ww.iit? ? i i ~ liiuuiuii ui uiu^nmu vtwuriau.tion, which has worked well in Brazil, and which has saved the coffee planters of that country from utter bankruptcy. There is 110 reason why the plan would not work equally as well here, and save our farmers millions of dollars each year. Here Is the plan in brief as suggested by Mr. Price: The attention of the entire e^conomic world has recently been directed toward the success of the socalled plan of coffee valorization adopted by the State of Sail Paulo, and later by the Brazilian government in 1906. Coffee was then selling in Brazil at about 4 cents a pound. That was below cost of production, and the country was rapidly becoming impoverished, in brier, what happened was that the State of San Paulo authorized the Issue of $75,000,000 of 5 per cent bonds for the purchase of coffee then for sale at the ruinous prices then prevailing. These bonds were an obligation of the State, secured ,by the hypothecation of the coffee purchased. They were readily taken in London, and with the money thus realized and suprplus supply of coffee then of fering was purchased, and accummulated at the port of Santos, being put in the hands of three commissioners to sell at an equitable price. The policy was preserved in and the result is that although the supply of coffee has not diminished, but rather increased, the price has advanced 13 cents a pound, and Brazil is again prosperous, while the consumer of coffee is not conscious of the inflnitastimal increase in the cost of his morning beverages. I have not been able to see why the Southern States, either collectively or separately cannot pursue the same course. Under the good old Democratic doctrine of "States .Rights" they are soverigns, and unless it be unconstitutional, they are at liberty to buy anything produced in their own business. Under the Federal constitution they are not amendable to the Sherman act, nor would such procedure be in restraint of interstate commence. If the policy were adopted it would insure, not only to the economic advantage of every citizen of each particular State, but it would also pay a sufficient profit to largelh reduce the burden of State taxation. I believe that such an issue of bonds could be instantly placed, and constitutional barrier to sucli action, guarantee the negotiation of them under proper conditions. If there is a conotitutional barrier to such action, then that barrier should be speedily removed by amendment. In the South constitutions have been not infrequently amended in the interest and protection of a small minority. The proposed course in one that would benefit every man, woman and child in the cotton States, and less directly the whole American population. If the suggestion procedure be thought too radical, then I take the /State of a tax of $1 per bale upon alternative, the imposition by each State of a tax of $1 per bale upon all the cotton produced within its borders. This tax to be levied to be used to pay the interest on loans negotiated for the purpose of buying up and controlling the surplus of cotton during the autumn and holding it until it can be cold at an equitable price. Such a tax, if imposed upon this year's (cotton crop would probably yield a revenue of $13,000,000. This sum would pay 5 per cent, interest on a bond issue of $200,000,000, and I believe that an obligation si. created and secured by tho hypothecation of the cotton for tho purchase of which it was expended, could be readily negotiated. In fact, I think I could negotiate sueh n loan. If I am rightly informed, I understand that the State of Texas and one or two other Southern States levy a tax upon bank deposits, the proceeds of which taxes are used tc guarantee the bank depositors.

The bonds, the issuance of which is contemplated, could he sold abroad and the appreciated value of the cotton we export would more than suffice to liquidate the indebtedness so incurred without in any way, taxing the credit machinery of the Southern hanks.
