Moody, While Horseback Rid? ing, Collides With a Mule Teem. . Washington, Oct. 14.-Attorney Genera! Moody bad narrowj escape from death or .?errons in j a ry tb is morning while horse-back riding down Pennsylvania avenue. As be was about turning into the street separating the White House grounds from the treasury building his horse collided with a team of mules attach? ed toa ston wagon. Mr. Moody was thrown to the ground but managed to break the fall catching himself on bis bands, fie escaped with bruises and later attended a cabinet meeting. CorteJyou's Hold Up Shocks Wall Street. New York', Oct 12.-That Wall street, while passively acquiescing in and submitting to the demnds of the Republican managers as represented by George B. Cortelyou, is far from being pleased with the methods re? sorted to in the interests of the Roose? velt campaign fund, becomes more and more manifest as the campaign advances. Evidence of this is given in a double-leaded editorial which ap? peared in "The Wall Street Summary, " an independent and non-partisan paper, j one of the leanding daily publications of the street. This paper, in its issue ? of September 23 last, after devoting considerable space to an analysis of the cost of Presidential campaigns, and the reasons therefor, discussed toe two most recent campaigns, and showed that the last McKinley-Bryan campaign cost the Repubplicans about $6,000,000. Continuing, The Sum? mary says: "After the battle was won the lead? ers of that party and those who con? tributed financially most largely to its success questioned among themselves whether it would ever be necessary for them to engage in a campaign of similar monetary magnitude, .Having gone down deep in their pockets and into their bank accounts in two suc? cessive campaigns they naturally questioned whether their own buiness e* as well as the entire industrial in? terests of the cona try could stand another such voluntary yet imperative assessment They are now all thank? ing Heaven that today they are not facing the terrible emergency that they didr four years and eight years aga At the same time campaign funds are necessary and strenuous efforts are being made to raise-them. We say 'strenuous,,' advisedly, be? cause it has come to our knowledge that some of the methods employed to secure the contributions are not in keep? ing with the professions of purity, honor and high-mindedness contained in the platform adopted at Chicago and in the speeches and letters of ac? ceptance of the Republican candi? dates." Already a number of the larg? est corporations in the'country, popu? larly, yet in many cases, misleading? ly, spoken of as 'trusts,' and hence likely to lie under the ban of the Serman anti-trust law, as interpreted by the Supreme Court of the United States in the Northern Securities case, have been approached, yes, ac? tually Importuned, by the managers of the Republican campaign or their authorized emissaries to contribute to the treasury of the national commitee. in some cases assurances have been given in the White House that now .that the issue raised by the govern? ment in the Northern Securities case has been sustained by the Supreme Court, ceratin aggregations of indus? trial enterprises would not be held as coming within the purview of the de? cision mentioned. "We can state further that the exe? cutives of some of the cor po ratios that have been approached, as described above, are cot members of the politi? cal party in behalf of which the ap? peals have been made, yet they have deemed it good business judgement to give the matter their favorable con? sideration. "The most flagrant case o'this char? acter that bas" come to our knowledge is that of the executive of one of our larger railroad systems who bas vir ! tnally decided that it is for the best ! interests of his corporation that in some way a substantial contribution should be made to the cause represen ted by Chairman Cortelyou, because i the chairman is slated for the position ? of Postmaster General after March 4, should bis efforts to retain his party in power be successful. This corpo? ration, in common with all other transpiration companies, has constant and sometimes conflicting relations with the Postoffice Department, a fact that carries great weight with the executive referred to, as it donbt less will with others similarly situated when they are appealed to for cam? paign contri butions. "This paper is not a political organ in any sense of the word, but, as its readers know, stands for what is hon? est and upright in the management of our government anairs as well as in the conduct of commercial-and finan? cial transactions. It seems proper, therefore, and entirely within the province of an independent, non-parti? san newspaper to refer to such facts as may come to'its knowledge from time to time as have been recited above, leaving those wbo read them to draw their own conclusions."

Johnston, Oct. ll.-News has reach? ed here that last night in Saluda comity, near the home of Mr. Andrew Gregory on the Nienty-Six road, Will, henderson killed Mat Morse. From reports brought here this morning by men who reside in the vicinity. Morse and another mau were traveling the road ?n a buggy together when they came upon a wagon in which there was a negro who was asked to run to one side that they might pass. The negro replied he conld not. A ?econd request brought forth a like answer and Heuderson suddenly made his appearance and finding Morse was one of the occupants of the buggy, said, "Now I've got you," and firing commenced. After the shooting ceas? ed those who were attracted to the scene by the shots found that Morse was dead. Henderson was lying by the-roadside wounded in the chest and in oue hand but to what extent is not known here. 1 Morse was a well known white far? mer and so is H?nders?n.

The bagging used is said to run from one and three-quarter pounds to the yard, to two and a half pounds to the yard or the average weight of bag? ging used is two pounds to the yard and the average tie whighs a ponnd and a half. This would make the average per bale for bagging and ties twenty pounds and for this the buy? ers seem quite willing to pay, but j now it is claimed by some that the j prices are based upon thirty pounds of tare for bagging 'and ties rn the Eng? lish markets, and that the buyers ought not to complain if the farmer runs his bagging and ties np to the thirty pounds, for which allowance is made on the other side. The farmer, however, seems to be getting an aver? age of $2 for what is costing him 65 or 75 cents. Six yards of bagging and six ties is the rule as to the covering for cotton. This notice to the farmers has excited comment : To ginners and cottoon planters: The Southeron Cotton Buyers' Asso? ciation last year sent out circulars stating that on account of excessive amount of bagging, which had pre? viously been pat on cotton at the gins, and the fact that spinners bad been billing back to the cotton mer? chants amount of excess bagging and ties above six yards of bagging and six ties to the bale ; that all of the firms belonging to the association would hereafter put a penalty of not less than 50c. per bale upon any bale which had upon it above six yards of bagging and six bands. This pen? alty to be increased according to the amount of excess bagging there may be above six yards and six bands so allowed. This action on the part cf members of the association, which was partici? pated in by practically all the buyers and cotton mills in the Southeastern States, had the effect of practically stopping the placing of excess tare up? on cotton at the gins, as where bales were offereed for sale showing excess tare it was penal) zd in accordance with the resolution of the Southern Cotton Enyers' Association. Many other firms have joined the as? sociation, and at the last annual meet? ing a reoslution was passed renewing the penalizing of bales showing excess tare in accordance with the above, and to send out circulars to that effect. Farmers and ginners are also urged to protect cotton from the weather, as j where it has been exposed to rain, and become damaged, the damaged cotton will have to ber picked off or very heavy allowance made before the bale will be marketable. Testimony of a Minister. Rev. Jro. S. Cox, of Wake, Aik., writes, "For 12 years I suffered from Yellow Jaun? dice. 1 consulted a number of physicians and tried ail kinds of medicines, but got no relief. Then 1 began the use of Elec? tric Bitters and feel that 1 am now cured of a disease that had me in its grasp for twelve 3 ears." If you want a reliable medicine for Liver and Kidney trouble, stomach disorder or general debility, get Electric Bitters. It's guaranteed by J. If. W. DeLorme, price cnly 50 cents.
