For the information of farmers and ginners tlie Charleston Cotton Exchange has had printed and is distributing resolutions on the standard weight and measurements of a bale of cotton, in accord with the leading exchanges of the country. The resolution, which is in the form of a circular letter, follows: "Charleston, S. C., June 6, 1913. "To the Cotton Planters and dinners: "We earnestly beg your attention to the following important matters that are of vital concern to your interest, and we urge you to act in accordance therewith, promptly and favorably "Where as, serious loss to the producers of cotton in the cotton growing sections of the South has been caused by irregular packages, inferior and insufficient covering and careless handling; and "Whereas, it is understood that the Congress of the United States is contemplating investigation and possible legislation with the object of improving conditions; and "Whereas, it is to the interest and saving of a largo aoniunt of monev to our cotton producers to adopt hotter methods for the packing, baling and size and weight of a bale of cotton; and "Whereas, at ?a general conference of cotton interests, hold at New Orleans, March 5, 19 1.1, representing the cotton exchanges, compass associations. railroads and steamshin lines of the North and South Atlantic and CI 111 f ports, have adopted resolutions that a standard ginbox be 2 7 inches by 54 inches; that the standard weight per bale be approximately 500 pounds; and furthermore that if any bale does not show the density of 2 2 1-2 pounds per cubic foot for each bale, if not represses to the said required density, shall pay an extra freight of 5 0 cents per bale; and that any bale of larger measurement that cannot be pressed to a minimum of 2 2 1-2 pounds per cubic foot, shipside, shall pay an extra freight of $1 per bale.

"Further Resolved, That the newspapers of this city be furnished with a copy of the foregoing preambles and resolutions and urged to bring the said matters to the earnest attention of the parties concerned tnerein and impress upon mem mo advantage to be derived therefrom. "Respectfully, "Charleston Cotton Exchange." ^ ^ ^ I Felder a Slick Article, Whatever may ,bo our private opinion of the gentleman, we are compelled to admit that it is beginning to be apparent to the innocent bystanders of whom there are a few still left in Atlanta, that Colonel Thomas B. Felder is either innocent of the charges brought against him, or that he is shrewder than the gang who brought the charges. Whether from superior virtue or superior wit, Col. Felder is beginning to get visibly the best of it. This doesn't merely mean that he can out cuss and out write detective Chief Langford. It is more than talk. The gong has sounded at the end of the first round and Mr. Felder has retired to his corner with the points in his favor. The first one Mr. Felder put over was the affidavit from the Gentry boy saying that the stenographic report of the dictagraph conversation had been tampered with, and that part of it had been faked, as Felder charged. The next thing he put over was In calling the bluff of the police department which had talked about arresting him for attempted bribery. They planned the arrest it is said, but lost their nerve at the critical moment. And the last thing he put over was when the grand jury formally returned a no bill against him, clearing him if the charges made by Detective I,an ford that Mr. Felder carried a pistol and had tried to draw it on him. i ? ? Bishop W. A. Candler of the'Methodist Episcopal Church, South charges that Andrew Carnegie's donation of one million dollars to Vanderbilt university at Nashcvllle has a very large string tied to it The IMshop says it is a schemo on the part of Carnegie to get control of the University and put hie own tag on it. | The Bishop is more than half right. I I MMa** GUESTS AT A SUICIDE rilKV OKAYFLY SMOKKI) AS 11F 1IKF1) FATAL SHOT. Six Chinamen Sat Around and SawSaw One of Their Number Take His Own iLfe. Arrested at Atlantic City, N. J., iui inuruLT weunesaay six Chinamen sedately shook their heads and said calmly that not by tho Rising Sun had they any hand in the death by bullet wound in the head of Ilo Why laundry proprietor. Hut this was trancendently true? they had been the guests of privilege at Ho Why's suicide party They had as by the honorable custom ordained in the writings of Confucius sat and watched their brother kill himself?"honorably." they said, shot himself in the head and "honorably" die. There are other, older Chinese methods that he might have used. There was the exit of the silken cord and there was the noble method of the golden disc. They were amused at tho police chief of Atlantic City and his detectives standing around him, had never heard of the method of the golden disc One took a thin disc of gold and placed it on his tongue A swift intake of breath and the disc slipped swiftly back and closed his windpipe and that was the end, a most honorable end, much used by mandarins Ho Why had been in this country twenty years. He had done much over tho wash tubs?twenty years of hard work. He had sent much money to China to the glorification of his ancestors, tho aid of his relatives and the support of the revolu lion. Hut lie had coughed a great deal, lie had become woefully thin and he knew that his revered ancestors awaited his coming. And also he had been a failure; he had no son. Ho Why had carefully drawn the curtains of his shop window facing on the street. The friends greeted him with smiles and went into tlie rear room. Ho Why acted as host at a formal hut pleasant dinner?a dinner in which the pink-tinted dishes of Anhwet were complemented by chopsticks of ivory. After they had feasted Ho Why arose and laid down his fan. He went to a little cabinet in the rear of the room. And when he turned from it, he bowed?holding now the revolver of the shining barrel. His friends were lighting pipes with long thick bamboo stems and tiny silver bowls. They watched him serenely as he placed himself quiet i rigidly upon a stool. Ho Why put the revolver muzzle against his right temple. His friends removed the pipe stems from their lips expectantly. The shot was fired His friends watched him sink in death; looked at one another; nodded, puffed again and then Shu Nan got up and caught Ho Why's corpse lest it should fall to the floor. Patrolman Marshal smashed his way in from the street and arrested the guests of the "suicide party", but when the six Chainamen had quietly exolained thev were released. Stopped the Non.soii.se. The New York World says "just as the New Jersey bosses discovered that they were dealing with a new kind of governor in Woodrow Wilson. so Wall street discovers that it is dealing with a new kind of President. For years the government's established policy in the matter of financial depression has been simple and fatal. Washington waited until the panic had begun, until confidence and credit were undermined .and then turned the United States treasury over to Wall street, while the stock-gamblers salvaged what they could from the wreck. The Wilson policy is to suppress the panic at the start and not at the finish. | Nothing could have been moro timely than Secretary McAdoo's announcement that he was prepared to Issue $500,000,000 in emergency currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland act. Wall street recovered immediately from its hysteria and its bankers, with characteristic patriotism, began to denounce the secretary for his "absurd offer". The fact is now pointed out with <a wealth of detail that there is plenty of currency in circulation and that no emergency currency is necessary, but forty-eight hours before Wall street was pointing out with an equal wealth of detail that one of the disturbing elements in the situation was the necessity that would exist in a few weeks for immense sums of money to move the crops. The truth is that there was plenty of money all (he time, and except for the condition of the European money market, there was no reason whatever for Wall street's .attack of nerves. Proving it is the most important service that the treasury has rendered by its offer of emergency currency. Wall street's hysteria was rapidly inoculating tho entire country, and the Wilson administration has stopped the nonsense before it became serious. All of which goes to prove that "Wall street has a master in the White House at last, and it is beginning to know its nvster's voice," as The Columbia Record says. That emergency currency knocked out Wall Street on tho first round. FIGHT WITH DEATH Till: CaKIM HFIAI'KH BAFELE1? 11V SENATOR TILLMAN'. Ho Tolls for the Benefit of Other# What Ho 1)U1 to Regain in Part Ills Health. Some few weeks ago The Times and Democrat "said Editor E. 11. Aull of the Newberry and News savs i ho met Senator Tillman on the train recently and he was much pleased to find him "as strong and vigorous us ho was, both physically and mentally. His mind is strong and vigorous and there is much of the old time fire and snap about the eye. All the talk about his mind being weak is unkind and besides unfounded. He can't eat the big meals that ho once could but otherwise eoems entirely well." In commenting on the above the Columbia Record says: Death, the universal conquerer, has had some notablo contests and many notable victims, but seldom has he been baffled and held at bay in a contest fought out before the pubile eye and on a world arena so conspicious as in the case of Senator Tillman. No doubt the senior South Carolinian's fight against the grim monster after he had called and given the word to go on the last dread journey will go down in the medical records as one of the most notable in the professional records. Three years ago Senator Tillman was stricken, and for weeks lay helpless in the shadow of death, as a writer in the New York Sunday Sun recites: "His friends and family lost hope. His colleagues expected to bo summoned to his funeral. The newspapers prepared their obituary sketches, making ready for what seemed the inevitable. This was back in 1910. "Rut the senator refused to yield. The same grim determination that marked his political career led him to make another fight. And lie won again, as he had won so many times when the odds against him were not so great." "The methods by which the veteran senator waged and won his fight were original and heroic, in keeping with his always resourceful and strenuous career, lie won by a system of physical exercise in aid of nature, that is simple but has proven marvelously effective in his case. And in the process he has not only got rid of the dangerous fatty matter that accumulates with age, hut he has gained thirty pounds of good hard muscle. "The Senator is back in Washington, the chairman of a powerful senate committee, able to walk ten miles a day and not only do hard work, hut his mind in some respects is clearer and truer in its processes than ever before. 'I didn't mean to let paralysis kill me,' the senator is quoted as saying. 'I proposed to get well and stay here afew years longer.' He did both by a simple plan of physical culture, the rules for which he gives as follows: "1. Before getting up in the morning, take the head oft 'he pillow and stretch out straight. Begin by kicking backward witn one foot and then the other, fifteen times each. During this a i'.'1 other movements, where counting is required, i draw in the breath to the limit and hoi I it while tno movement is on, from ten la fifteen times. "2. Put the heels upon the bed with the knees drawn up, then throw tho knees apart as far as they can he carried, repeating twenty times. "3. Throw first one foot and then the other toward the headboard, keeping the knee joints as straight as you can. "1. While still lying on the .back kick omt with both feet as wide apart as you can and do the kicking with emphasis, so as to strain the muscles on the calf and soles oi the feet. Elevate both feet at once toward the headboard and then the spino as much as possible by using tho abdominal muscles to pull ug the lower extremities three times. II the hands are placed under the small part of the back and the arms are used as a lever to help elevate the legs and feet it is much more effective. If in an iron bed this can be faciliated by grasping the railing above the head with the hands and pulling up the legs and feet by the use of the muscles of the back and belly. This is very tine for reducing -the paunch as it substitutes muscle for fat and hardens the obdormen. "(>. Fasten the feet under something and pull tho trunk up to s sitting posture, drop back and repeal for four or five times. This is verj straining at first and one ought tc go about it cautiously until he muscles have becomo accustomed to the sirain. "7. Throw tho head back with the feet on tho bed and lift the bodj clear so that the shoulders do noi touch. This will form an arch. Re peat four or live times. This is enough in bed in the morning. "8. Take a cold bath and rul down briskly, unless you do not like cold water or have not the facilities to do it. Put on underwear and take a light pair of dumbbells (3 1-S pounds), to give momentum to the movements. Begin to exercise the other muscles which have not ye Yank I should have the b'eat of atte natural life.

Straighten up and repeat ton times. Continue in the same motion, bend the trunk forward as nearly horizontal as you can maintain it and let the arms swing as near the floor as they can go. This limbers up the muscles of the hack. "10. Now keeping the knees stilT. try to punch the big toe of each . foot with both fists. Repeat five or six times. "11. Using the dumbbells, pass them to the right and left, one arm I going by the belly whilo the other is extended as high above the head as possible, and as one goes down elevate the other. This will lubricate and loosen the joints of the shoulders. "12. Throw both arms behind the back so as to bring both hands as near as possible with the dumbbells clinched hard. Try this ten times. "12. Still holding the dumbbells, throw one to the rear and the other to the front and twist the spine by first looking over one shoulder and then over the other. This is to loosen tho spinal column and make the vertebrae twist on each other. "14. Swing the dumbbells backward, forward and downward until a circle is performed by returning them to the starting point. I do this five times backward and then five times forward with each arm alternately. This lubricates the muscles of the shoulders and arms, producing circulation of the blood. "I practise hese motions morning and night, before dressing and after undressing," the senator says. "It takes about ten minutes, not including the bath. I feel a very marked difference in my strength as well as otherwise." South Carolina and the country, as i well as Senator Tillman, are subjects of congratulation eecause of the Senator's restoration to health. At the age of 03 he has reached the acme of senatorial influence and usefullness and neither South Carolina or the country could spare him at this eventful juncture when he is so well prepared to give them the benefit of the best and most experienced service. , Killed Landlady by Mistake, i At Howie, T.n., Abraham Blanchf ard, awakening suddenly from ' sound sleep by her entrance into his J room., shot and killed Mrs. W.
