She Asserts That She Has Never Vio-
1atad Her Marriage Vows.

Trenton, y J., Oct 51.-The answer of
Mrs. James Coleman Drayton in the suit
for divorce lately instituted by her hus-
hand was fled late this afternoon by her
counsel. E. V. Lindbury of Elizabeth. She
denies every charge of marital inhdehty
made.
Mrs. Drayton's answer is a brief docu-
r,ent She admits her marriage to her
husband in New York on Oct. 20. 1879,
vybere they continued to reside until 1886,
1vhen they removed TO Bernardsville, n.
Here they lived until Oct. 1. 1891. At
ter that they travelled in Europe till the
early part of 1892. Mrs. Drayton denied
that she left her husband while they were
temporarily sojourning in London in jan
nary 1892, but AYERS that he left her, be-
ing moved thereto. as she believes, by
cruel and unjust suspicious as to her
marital fidelity
Mrs. Drayton makes denials specifically
of all her husbands charges, saying that
she was never guilty Of adultery with Hal
let AIsop Borrowe, or with any other per
SON or persons whatsoever, either in
New York, London, Bernardsville or any
other place She says the charges are
"a most unfounded and cruel imputa-
ton"
on the contrary, she AYERS the truth
70 he that she has always since her mar
rage with her husband faithfully re-
garded her marriage vows and been true
and faithful to his bed, and her obliga-
tions as his wife.
The next step in the case is the filing
of the plaintiffs replication, which must
he done within thirty days. After that
the testimony will be taken by either one
of the vice chancellors or a master ap-
Dointed by the chancellor.
The final decree by this court is appeal
able to the court of errors and appeals,
and if the parties to the suit choose, they
can keep the case in the courts for sew
ernl wears.

MEETING OF THE FARMERS.
Col. Waddell Lays Before Them His
Plan for Advances on Cotton.

Plan for Advances on Cotton.
Macon, Ca, Oct 31.-The meeting of the
farmers called by Col. John 0. WaddeIl to
discuss the low price of cotton was held
at the fair grounds this morning The
meeting was not largely attended. but
was enthusiastic Col. Waddell laid his
plan of getting the banks to make ad-
vanCes on cotton before the meeting, and
on motion of J. B. Hunnicutt a resolu-
tion was adopted urging the delegates to
the farmers congress at Montgomery on
Nov 13 to work for the adoption of the
plan. This plan has been repeatedly pub
lshed. Nothing further was accom-
plshed.
The resolutions as passed read:
The present ruinous price of cotton af-
fects injuriously not only the farmers who
produced it, but stagnates business of
every kind and paralyzes efforts in all
legitimate industries. Hence the duty is
imperative upon us to use all honorable
means to avert impending disasters. With
out attempting to discuss the various po-
htical reasons assigned as the source for
the present fearful depression, we desire
to resist the results as we find them.
In the multitude of remedies suggested
we have seen none that so strongly recon-
mends itself as the paper submitted by
the president of the Georgia State Agri-
cultural Society, Col. John o. Waddell
Col. Waddell in his call for the meeting
will adopt the salient points in that call
and commend them to the farmers of the
cotton growing states, and we request
the delegates appointed from Georgia to
attend the cotton growers convention at
Montgomery. on Nov. Is, to urge the
suggestion as a proper and just solution
of this vital question.
That the delegation at Montgomery be
requested to do all that they can to stop
the shipment of cotton from the farms
thus reducing the heavy receipts, which
have a tendency to create a wrong i'm
preston about the amount of the present
crop.

correspondent says: THE prohibition of
imports of cattle from the United States
produced lively exchange of views be-
tween Minister Runyon and Freiherr
Marschall Won Bieberstein. Mr.. Runyon
declared the order severe, unjust and
needless. and evidently reprisal for the
American sugar duties, which the Presi-
dent of course would annul. Marschall
Won Bieberstein admitted the force of the
three first eptthets, but repudiated the
last one. He said that Germany could not
barter the soundness of her cattle for a
prospective lowering of sugar duties The
incuba ton period of Texas fever he said,
was six weeks, and cattle leaving America
apparently well might afterwards be at
tackled and spread the infection. Mr.. Run

not exist in Europe, and, moreover. dead
