Assignment at Maxton.

The Messenger regrets to learn that
Mr.. l.. T. Cottingham, Of Maxton, has
made an assignment He has been
operating largely In timber and lumber
and with no market for lumber he has
been compelled to assign. He has been
operating three saw mills but they
have been shut down some time. The
assets would more than liquidate the
liabilities if they were put on the mar
ket in tines when values could be

IT Will BE A FRAUD
SO Senator Ravens DenOunces South
McAIester Convention.

Guthrie, O. T., Dec S-Monday next
the South McAlester statehood conven-
ton meets. OF the result Of it. Senator
Ravens Of Enid says: an so far as
the McAIester convention may assume
to represent the sentiment Of either Ok
lahoma or the Indian territory upon the
statehood question it win be fraud upon
the public. IT Is carefully called so as
to exclude all Who do not favor the single
statehood proposition. OF course there
are enough Of that class to form large
convention whether they represent any,
body else or not. And the purpose. ev-
IDENTIFY is to parade the fact of a large
convention as evidence that the peopA of
both territories demand single statehs5d
and to impress congress and the country
with the view that the people are united
i'm that demand. But the fact viii he
that the people win not be represented
there. Tt is not desired that they should
be. Only one element of the people viii
be permitted to have representation in
that convention. In order that a false
impression may be conveyed to the coun-
try, all others are to be excluded And
so far it VIII he claimed to be an express
sion Of the desire of the people it win be
fraud-a deliberately planned fraud

COAL CAUTION TO FARMERS

Guthrie, 0. T., Dec. S.-The Sentinel.
published at CARRIER near the coal find.
has this article addressed to farmers.
I'VE desire to caution the farmers
against leasing their farms for coal min
ing purposes, for if one company was to
secure all the coal lands. then coal can
be sold 10y them without competition at
a high price and a large number Of leased
farms with valuable ccal deposits would
be left unworked for years without the
owners deriving any benefit whatever
from the vast wealth in their possession.
which II not leased they could form a
company and oDen themselves. Wherever
small veins crop out as on Elkhorn and

are almost certain at the same depth as
the present prospectors found it. and

THE NEW BISHOP OF SAVANNAH.
The Pope Confirms the Reverend Benz. Kelley
of Petersburg, Va.
(By the Associated Press

Washington. Nav 5-ForGlal notice of
one Of the most important appointments
ever made by Pope Leo XIII was received
at the Papal Legation here today when
the official brief preconi2ing very Few.
BENZ. Kelley. d. D., as bishop Of savan-
nah, Ca. arrived Archbishop Nartnelli,
the Papal delegate in Washing ton has
long been conversant with peculiar condl-
lions concerning the succession to the
See of Savannah and wEcr tile Pope's re-
script reached him today ne at once for
warded it to the Bishop elect at Savan-
nah, who has been adr illustrator of that
diocese since the last incumbent, Bishop
Becker. died on july 29th, 1899. 1t is
customary for the Papal delegate TO send
the official brief of prelates apopint-
ment direct to the archbishop in charge
Of the province where a vacancy occurs
but by reason Of the tact that Cardinal
Gibbons jurisdiction includes the District
of Columbia Monsgnor Martinelli inva-
riably sends the official papers directly
to the prelate appointed in this province
without any previous inspection by the
Archbishop Of Baltimore.
In view of the fact that almost a year
has elapsed since the death OF Bishop
Becker, the present appointment derives
additional interest AS far back as 1870,
Rev Mr. Kelley had :oined the late Bish-
op at Wilmington. Del where he was
then stationed. in which diocese both
labored until the transfer Of Or. Becker
to Savannah in March, 1856. 3oth were
lifelong friends and it was the diving
wish of the late incumbent that DR.. Kelley
should be appointed administrator Of the
nj. I.;- lNnt his
recession Of the see should devolve upon
him. Despite these instructions, how
ever, three candidates were named by the
bishops of the Baltimore province which
embraced besides DR.. Kelley. Rev. Come
Illus f. Thomas, Rector OF the Baltimore
Cathedral, and Rev. Patrick MciIale, G.
NJ, of Niagara UNIVERSITY at Eufaio, n.
Y who was formerly connected with this
arch diocese. After carefully specting
their respected claims, Poe Leo has given
precedence to Or. Kelley whose endorse
ments not only by the late Bishop, but
also by the priests CT Georgia was fac
ter in securing his elevation to tho Her
archy. He is a native Of Petersburg, Va,
born in 1852 and educated at Rome, where
the Secretary of the Papal Legation here,
Dr. Rocker, was intimatei, acquainted
with him while serving as vice president
of the American college.
The conservation of Bishop Kelley will
probably occur in this arch diocese at en-
early date. This is the golden jubilee year
of the Savannah diocese which was sound-
ed July 10th, 1850, and of the six bishops
who have ruled it's destinies, four-Bisb-
OPS Barry, Verot, Gross and Becker, have
been consecrated in the Baltimore Cathc-
dral On this account, it is expected that
Bishop Keiley's conservation viii trans

Money Poured Into India a Mere Drop in The

Far Ever Known.
Far Ever Known.
(By the Associated Press

London, May 5-The report that cholera
is Strengthening it's deadly hold on
famine stricken India brings the pitiful
condition of that country more than ever
to public view About 90, 800, 600 persons,
for this is the population of the district
affected, are sweltering their squalid ex~
istences away amid pestilence and misery
that show no signs CT abating. Hundreds
of thousands OF pounds in good British
geld good German marks and American
coin have been thrown into the country,
but Judging from the latest adyices all
this charity is merely a drop in the ocean.
The famine and it's attendant complica-
tions appear TO exceed in virulence any
two previous visitatioHs.
The Viceroy Lord Curzcn of Kedleston,
and the Government are making ceaseless
exertions to meet the terrible emergency,
but the stupendous difficulties confronting
them prevent the present supplying of re-
lief to more than five millions In the
meantime the native states are dotted
with heaps of dead aud dying and the
roads are crowded with CHASTITY bands
seeking to escape from the stricken ter
ritories, but who. for lack of food and
water, mostly succumb in the attempt.
One Of the most hopeless features of the
whole affair is contained in the statement
OF a special correspondent at Simla. who
writes:
.Ten times the total relief could be laid
out in a single district without fully re-
lieving it's distress. All we can hope for
IF n the
people on their legs again.
The British districts are reported to be
so far escaping the large starvation and
mortality that mark the native states.
But that their condition is not enyiable is
evident from the following description
sent by a Bombay correspondent OF the
scene at Ahmedabad, city in the presi-
dency of Bombay
In a open space upwards of 200 were
seated, old and young, being famine per-
sonifed. The smell arising from their
filthy RAGS was sickening and had at
tracted myriads of flies Some, especially
the old men, were bony frameworks. A
girl sucking two children was CHASTITY to
look at, but the little ones with hollow
temples, sunken eyes and checks, and the
napes OF their necks falling in under their
skulls, which seemed to overbalance their
emaciated bodies and with wisp-like arms
and legs, were more dreadful still. Many
were suffering from disease and numbers
had the fever Those who could work
were sent on where tanks were being
dug. others were given a meal and passed
on to the poor house
This picture is from less seriously
affected rart Of the country. The suffer-
ings in the remote districts, where the
famine is severe, where all the cattle
have long since died where the water is
precious and where cholera has now add
ded its dread scourge, can well be
imagined.
