Dec. 21.?Newspapers of the South whleh have criticised Cot Robert M. Thompson, the New York cotton speculator, and his plan for nnaudng the surplus portion <>f the South's cotton crop, were bitterly arraigned tonight by William H. Stayton. the personal representative of Col. Thompson In formulating this plan. In a talk before an Informal gathering of reypreaentatlven of the cotton farming Industry In the as? sembly room of the Oruenwald hotel. After Mr. Stayton's remarks a heated colloquy ensued between him and Cs.pt R. F. Kolb. commissioner of Alabama, ('apt. Kolb denounced certain etatements of Mr. Stayton and the meeting war abruptly adjourned. Capt. Kolb an', unced that he had sot only withdrawn his acceptance of a trusteeship In the proposed organi? sation to carry Into effect Col. Thomp? son p ??an. hit had addressed the cot? ton plantare of Alabama and of the flouth against participating In the ?Inn. "This plan will not be acceptable to the farmers of the South." declared Capt.

Barrett, president of the National Farmers' union, and added that he had Mr. Barrett' statement of opposition to it fa writing. In his address Mr. Stayton declared that Cot Thompson proposed his plan for financing a portion of the cotton crop at the earnest solicitation ?f "Southern gentlemen" \n congress, in busts iss life and among farmers, and the thanks he Is getting for his unselfish eiferte to aid the Southern planters are expressed in columns of abuse and elender In newspapers of the tenth, "Southern newspapers hare re lo Col.

In the gnat I have returned to New York -rr?>m fh.* South with words of praise for Soot hern hospitality, but "his time 1 shall return with my head bowed in sham*. Southern hospita - tty h* hanged!" Mr. Stayton remarked here that he was "a Mttle warm" about the crtt satesne which had been hurled at Col. Thompson, and desired it to be un? derstood thst he was speaking for himself only. Hs added "The mensage which Col. Thompson would give to the people of the Southland now la: ? Ttentlemen. I made my fortune from speculating in your staple and feel that it la my duty to eee that pa)ft of it goes hack to you. I am anxious to help you.

He admitted that It was not a "holding movement." ?hat It provided fe-r the absolute purchase of tltla ts every bale of turned over to the syndicate and that MM right to sell the cotton to spinners at sny Ime was reserved. He declared the! it would require 112r..000.000 to finance the surplus part of the crop and that no syndicate could under? take this If the plan contemplated what the Southerner understands as "holding movement " Capt KMhs principe: objection to the plan wss le ths sentence In the outline which reads: "U Is not our plan to wareho-Me fh*? eotton, nor le withhold it from the channels of trade."

A MYSTERY SOLVED. Joe Mai lor and Charlotte Kasterling rnder Arrest for Murder of Boys. Bennettsvllle, Dec. 21.?The arrest here today of Joe Malloy and Char? lotte Easterling, charged with the murder of two white boys, Guy Rog? ers and Prentlss Moore, on November 24, 1910, came as a surprise and sen? sation to many. It is understood that n >gro detectives have been working on the case for several months and trat they have secured strong testi? mony. Those who know of the de? tectives ?n this case say that there is strong yfldence against Joe Malloy a* principal and Charlotte Easterling as accessory. Ouy Hogers and Prentlss Moore left th' ir homes In Bennettsvllle, on a hunting trip Thanksgiving day, No? vember 24, 1910. They fniled to re? tain to their homes that evening, and searching parties were organised. For two or three days the river swamp was searched and finally the bodies of the two boys were found In a ditch in m open field very near Charlotte Fastening's house. The coroner's Jury deliberated several days ar.d Anally returned a verdict that the boye came to their death from gun? shot wounds inflicted In a manne unknown to the Jury. There were many who suspected Joe Malloy at that time. Three theories were ad? vanced to explain the mystery. One was murder; one accidental shooting of Prentlss Moore by Guy Rogers and then suicide on the part of Guy Rogers; the other an accident a? to i both. Joe Malloy Is a negro man who had at that time a wife and several chil? dren. His wife died a few we?ks after the verdict of the coroner's Jury under somewhat suspicious cir? cumstances. It la probable that Joe Malloy and Charlotte Fasterling will be given a preliminary b 'ng before Magistrate 8. J. Mclni ?mor. <w or next day.
