WF.ST0N PREDICTS HIQHER PRICKS,
Makes Strong Appeal to Fanners to
Sign Pledges.
To the farmers of South Carolina: In
the absence of our State president, Mr.
E. D. Smith, who is now canvassing
Texas in the interest of the Southern
Cotton Association, I desire to say a
few words to you in reference to the
appeal that bus reeently been made to
you by the central office at Atlanta, to
hold your cotton for higher prices. Let
me remind you that in every instance
In which the Association has joined is
sues with those who were fighting to
secure your cotton at their prices you
have won a brilliant victory. The same
people who are now urging you to part
with your cotton predicted that ten
cents would not be secured as demanded
by the New Orleans Convention for the
cotton held in the South. By unity of
action and taking the advice of the As
sociation in the face of a fourteen mil
lion bale crop you secured ten cents for
your cotton. When you were appealed
to to reduce your acreage and fertiliz
ers it was predicted by the same crowd
that you would be treacherous towards
each other and increase both acreage
and fertilizers. This slander upon the
Southern farmers was disposed of by
the Government report on acreage.
When those that you intrusted with
your interest were convinced that the
department of agriculture was being
used to your detriment, and we felt it
our duty to attack it, we were ridiculed
and jeered at; nevertheless we proved
beyond doubt every accusation we
made against the department, and
showed it to be thoroughly rotten.?
When our estimate of the crop for 1905
was made, and in view of the short
crop, we asked that the farmers be
paid a mimimum price of 11 cents for
their cotton, you heard on all sides that
this was too much; yet throughout the
South that price has been paid. The es
timate of the Association has again
been confirmed by the ginners' report
which has just been issued. If the
spinners of the world are now made to
pay more for their cotton whose fault
is it? They had ample opportunity to
go into the market and bviy at 11 cents,
yet they preferred to believe the pre
dictions of Theodore Price and a cam
paign was inaugurated which had for
its object the stampeding of the farm
ers of the South. All reports confirm
the Association that cotton is worth
more than 11 cents and in the near fu
ture will bring more than 11 cents.
The question is simply this: Who shall
get the benefit of this advanced price?
We appeal to you to sign the pledges
that have been sent out and stand by
the Association in this fight. All this
talk of crippling and ruining the manu
facturing interests is veritable botch.
If the manufacturer has to pay more
for his raw material he will receive
more for his finished product unless
that finished product is higher than
some other article which can be sub
stituted for its use. Wool, linen and
silk are the competitors of cotton goods
and there is a long distance between
those articles and cotton goods, where
the raw material would not cost the
spinner more than 12 1-2 cents; if he
has to pay 15 cents for the cotton now
in the hands of the farmers. Those
who have seen fit to consistently and
persistently advise the farmers to turn
loose their cotton for prices less than
those fixed by the Association must
now answer the individuals and the
South who has been despoiled of mil
lions of dollars while following their
advice. The Southern Cotton Associa
tion wishes to fix a staple price for
cotton; this can only be accomplished
by the spinner dealing direct with the
Association. We stand ready to meet
the spinners whenever they desire it.
Stand by the Association; it has never
advised you to do anything that was
contrary to your interest; ignore the
advice of those who have only brought
loss to you and you will aid in returning
to the Southland millions of dollars of
which she has been unjustly robbed. It
must be demonstrated to the world
that the producers propose to fix the price
of their cotton. I appeal to the zealous,
intelligent and patriotic county officers
and the rank and file throughout this
State to carry on this fight with all the
zeal and energy that we are capable of.
We are not responsible for this fight;
wo entered into it for the purpose of
protecting our cotton, the price of
which was being forced down, without
any reason for it whatsoever, and
"damn be he who first cries hold
enough."

THE VOICE THAT LIES.
Court ?t?aoarr?pher?, It I? Bald, Cam
Airrar? D?t??t It.
"Any shorthand reporter who hna
been doing court reporting for u long
time cnn toll almost Infallibly by bis
sense of bearing whether a witness is
tolling tb? truth," said an ohl court
stenographer the wilier day. "It comes
from experience combined witli abnor
mal devolopmeut of the sense of hear
ing which all first rate court and par
liamentary stenographers possess. The
stenographer'^ earn become as sonsl
tlve to the slightest inflexions and In
tonations of the human voice as a
phonograph roller. There's a certain
tremulous quaver In the tone of a man
or woman who's lying In court thai the
stenographer catches when the shrewd
est Judaea, lawyers or Jurors quite fall
to catch it.
'?When he's got his head bent over
his notebook he feels the Jarring false
note in the voice of the liar every time,
no matter how plausible and convinc
ing the testimony In Itself may sound.
So frequently have I tested this Idea
in the past fifteen yeara or no that I
have come to accept It ?8 certain when
that almost indistinguishable false
tremolo Is absent from the tone of a
witness' voice that the witness is toil
ing the truth.
"A few years ago I reported the trial
of a young chap who was accused of
haviug sand clubbed a Jeweler in bis
store und of looting tho establishment.
Tho young fellow was good looking,
Intelligent, with a face as frank as an
eight day clock and an easy, candid,
winning manner.
"1 looked the young chap over before
the trial began, and I decided that the
accusation against him was outrageous.
When the witnesses testified thai
they'd seen him coming out of the
store I stralued my oars to catch the
false intonation in their tones, but It
wasn't there.
"When the defense opened the young
man was permitted to go on the stand
In Ills own behalf. I was aston'shed to
find that tils voice had tho lying quaver
in it right from the beginning of Ills
statement.
'?Ills words vastly Impressed the
Jury and as vastly chagrined the pros
edition. He undertook to prove an
alibi for himself.
"In corroboratton of this a married
sister testified that bor brother bad
been at her apartment from 3 o'clock
In the afternoon until 10 o'clock at
night, taking dinner with her and keep
ing her company In the absence of her
husband. ?Vell. she was lying too.
She had that telltale false ring in her
voice that convinced me of it despite
her flue, frank face and her obvious re
spectability.
"The court adjourned for luncheon ft!
the end of her testimony. I took
bin boon with the attorney for the
prosecution.
" 'Well, what do you think of this
case'/' he asked me when wo sat down.
'I guess we don'l land him. oh?'
"Tie's guilty.' I replied briefly. 'He
ivas lying, and so was bis sister.'
"The attorney for tho prosecution
looked me over out of the slits of bis
eyes, but I didn't say any more.
"When the court reconvened lie asked
for an adjournment until next day.
and tho Judge granted It.
"On the following morning he had in
court the janitor of the apartment
house in which tho prisoner's sister
lived. The Janitor testified that the
prisoner's sister bad not been In her
flat from noon until late at night on
the day of the sand clubbing.
"While the janitor was on tho stand
n detective walked into tho courtroom
with the loot from the Jewelry shop.
He had found it In a satchel in tho
prisoner's alster'a apartment that morn
ing.
"That settled the ease, of course. Tho
prisoner's sister broke down and con
fessed that she had boon endeavoring
to shield her brother."?St. Louis Olobe
Democrat.
Women Who Secretly Work For r?y.
"If you will kindly give me tho ad
dress of the artist who painted my din
ner cards I shall be able to give her
more work," said a society woman to
a Twenty-third street stationer.
"I am not at liberty to do so, mad
am," replied the stationer. "Rut if you
will leave your Instructions in writing
I will see that they are strictly follow
ed."
"But I wnnt her to carry out some
Ideas of my own on lamp shades," pro
tested the customer.
"I am sorry," said the stationer, "but
we cannot depart from our rule. Much
of this work is done by women who
would not like to have It known that
they work for pay and who have
pledged us not to divulge their names'
If we broke faith we should lose theli
services. Some of our best decorative
work Is done by convent bred girls

money to get along. Wo respect thoia
confidence."?New York Press.
Odd Snperfttltlona.
If an infant is weak and dors not
grow satisfactorily, it must be meas
ured for the "Undergrowth," according
to a superstition In some Pennsylvania
Dutch communities. A powwow doc
tor, usually n woman, will strip the
child, measure It with a Htrlng the
same color as Its hair, say some
"words," bury the string in a secret
place and repeat the performance three
times. The child will get well. Then
are dozens of children In one Pennsyl
vania Dutch community that were
measured In this way and are now
pointed to as examples and proof of
the efficacy of the method.
Ashes must not be taken from a fire
place In a sickroom. The death of the
patient would follow. Nor must tho
bed of a sick person be turned over.
It Is actually true that this last pro
vision Is believed and followed in many
Pennsylvania Dutch homes In tho old
rcttlcmcnts of ttie state.
Men *nd lints and Chnrches.
In the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries hats were commonly worn
by men in Protestant churches both on
the continent of Europe and In Oreat
Britain.
Pepj'S notes In his dlnry as a singular
circumstance that at the French
Chureil at the Savoy he saw, on Sept.
28, 1002, what ho had never seen bo
fore?viz, a clergyman preaching with
bis hat off.
Another author of the period says
some congregation" took oft their hats
When they sang tho Psalms, but kept
their heads covered If they read them.
The custom almost died out after the
restoration, but was revived again by
William III. When William, however,
found the Dutch habit caused offense
to his English subjects ho diplomat
Irally remained bareheaded during the
prayers and then put on his hat for the
sermon.
Poloworth says the custom survived
In Truro church as late as the yeai
1800.
