Ile lias Taken No Part in Speculativ
Ventures-Working for Farmers.
Columbia, Nov. 28.-F. H. Weston,
secretary of the South Carolina Cot
ton Growers Association, gives out the
following:
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2-5, 1905.
Mr. F. H Weston, secretary South
Carolina Division, S. C. A., Colum?
bia, S. C.
i Dear Sir: With reference to the tel?
egram sent to me on the 21st inst., in
which you state that insinuations
have been made by some newspapers
that I was interested in the recent
speculative market. I have seen ref
ences of the kind, and am satisfied
that such reports have been sent out
to injure the cause of the Southern
Cotton association. It seems that we
are now the most powerful factor
in holding the market up, and we are
receiving the attention of the bearish
element, who have recently been hard
hit. I have taken no part in any
speculative deal, but, as I wrote you
some days ago, the position taken
by the association with refer?
ence to holding back as much of our
cotton as possible, and sell it for high?
er prices, was done in the interest of
averaging the price of this crop at as
near 12 cents per pound as possible. If
anybody who is familiar with the con?
ditions of supply and demand, and the
present prices of cotton goods can
convince us that this position is
not sound, then I would be glad to
hear from them. I have neither the
time nor the inclination to answe
every little newspaper squib that may
criticise my official acts. If the as?
sociation was not capable of arousing
antagonism, we would never hear
anything from the other side. I am
devoting all my time and best energies
to protecting, as far as it lies in my
power, the ^people who raise spot cot?
ton and who are entitled to good
prices for it. If people on the other
side object to it, their objections will
, haye but little effect on me.
I trust that you are having good
luck in getting pledges out, as from
the large number of letters coming
into this office from your State, I am
satisfied the people are thoroughly
aroused and will stand loyal to our
position to hold cotton for higher
prices.
With best wishes, I beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
(Signed.) Harvie Jordan.

ANOTHER MURDER MYSTERY
Walter Jarvis of Charleston Fount!
Fatally Wounded in New York
j New York, Nov. 29.-The detective
i bureau is trying to solve the mystery
j surrounding the case of Walter Jar
j vais, a member of a well to do family
i of Charleston, S. C., who was found
j
j insensible yesterday in the hallway of
'a flat at 200 west 23rd street, where
he lived. He had a fracture at the
base of the brain and now lies in a
comatose condition in St. Vincent's
hospital. The dectives are working
along the theory Jarvis was clubbed
by some one whom he had displeased
when he labored for the freedom of
a prisoner charged with having at?
tempted to shoot an attractive tele?
phone operator at the Hotel Manhat?
tan. Jarvis was a clerk at the Chel- j
sea Apartment, 222 West 23rd street.
A large cold storage plant is to be
erected in Charleston by A. F. C.

PRICELESS DIAMOND DY MAI!J.
Cullinane Stone Sent From South Af
rica by the Post.
Everybody likes a diamond story
and the history of the famous Culli?
nane diamond is going the rounds*
Some months ago the world was as?
tounded by the finding of this stone,
and it has convinced experts that the
South African mines have yet in store
many whose weight may be express?
ed in pounds troy and not in carats.
It is not generally known how this
stone was sent to England. Just as
the mail for Europe was being clos?
ed at the Johannesburg postoffice an
ordinary looking packet, addressed to
a firm in Hatton gardens, London,
was handed in at the window to be
registered. It weighed a little over
a pound, and two pence extra for
registration was paid, and the packet
was stamped, sealed, and thrown into
the bag along with other registered
parcels for the mail boat. Nobody
knew, apar from the postoffice au?
thorities, that the ordinary-looking
little bundle had been insured for $2,
500,000. Not one of the clerks or of?
ficials dreamed they were handling
what was literally worth a king's ran?
som.-Boston Herald.
A New Monte Carlo.
Close upon the report that the
Americans of the Isle of Pines, near
the southern coast of Cuba, have de?
clared their independence from Cub?,
and have established their own , in?
dependent government, comes the
news that the revolutionary move?
ment was supported by -a clique of
wealthy Americans, who have a de?
cidedly practical object in view. It
'is stated on, what is believed to be
good authority, that an American
syndicate intends to make the -Isle of
Pines a second Monaco. It is said to
be their intention to erect upon the
islands a magnificent casino and a
number of expensive residences which
will be rented for the winter season
to wealthy people who wish to spend
the winter in that beautiful climate
and, at the same time, enjoy the sport
and excitement which a large gam?
bling house would offer to them. For
the accommodation of those, who do
not wish to be burdened with a large
household, several large and luxu?
riously equipped hotels will be built.
LONDONS" STARVING.
The Unemployed Workmen Make a
Violent Demonstration on Streets
London, Dec. 1.-Another dem?
onstration of the unemployed was
made in the vicinity of tower hill this
afternoon. Especially violent speech?
es were made and the people were
urged to march through the streets,
but this the police refused to let them
do. A deputation was then appointed
to go to the guild distress com?
mittee and demand something be done
to supply food to the needy. Al?
though several hundred policemen
were in attendance, only one arrest
was made.

Wilkesbarre, Pa., Dec. 1.-John
Lenbert of Manuchchunk, fireman,
and Charles S. Deltro, an engineer
who was riding in a combination bag?
gage car, were killed and sixteen pas?
sengers injured in the wrecking of
the New Tork Flyer of the New York

I cause was the spreading of the rails,
j The engine and two cars plunged into
j the shallow water of the Lehigh river,

RUSSIA IS BANKRUPT.
St. Petersburg, Dt-c.-Fears that a
great financial crash is overtaking
Russia arc increasing. Financiers ci.J
not know how to stop the continuai
drain which has been proceeding for
the past two weeks on the country's
money.
There is no doubt banks are getting
dangerously near the bottom of their
ready money supply, though every ef?
fort is being made to conceal the tru'2
state of affairs. Practically nobody is
willing to buy government bonds and
everybody holding them is anxious tc
sell.
The first definite declarations that the
government is being hampered in its
financial obligations comes today in
the form of an intimation by numer?
ous government officials that they will
not be given th$ usual amount ol
money due as Christmas bonus.
