Accent Invitation to Charleston.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-When Mrs.
Fairbanks, president general of Daugh-
terso of the American Revolution, called
the convention to order today but few of
the delegates hHd arrived Prayer was
offered by the chaplain general, Mrs.
Smoot of Virginia, after which the audi
ence sang s"EIail Columbia ssa
Mrs Karow,, of Georgia, presented a
resolution which was adopted, requesting
the appointment of a committee to attend
the re-interring of the remains of General
Nathaniel Greene, at Savannah Ca, In
May next.
An invitation to the congress from the
South Carolina delegates that they attend
the Charleston exposition on South Caro-
lima day was accepted with thanHs.
on motion of Mrs. Mclean, of New
York, the congress By a vote of/27S to lao
reconsidered it's vote of yesterday, laying
on the table the amendment to article VII.
with respect to appFopriating certain
norton of dues to be used toward the
erection Of a continental hall. Mrs. Nc
Lean stated that,the object of her mo-
ton was to secure full and free discus
sion of this and all other subjects. She
had attended every congress she said,
and never had such a privilege been ac-
corded.
Mrs. Freeman, of New York, opposed
the amendment. A number of Daughters
were on their feet seeking recognition
from the presfdent-general and it was
with difficulty that the audience could be
made to. cease talking sufficiently long for
the speakers to be heard. 1t was evident
that those opposed to the amendment
would not permit it's adoption without
vigorous protest and many of them came
to the platform or made short addresses.

THEODORE H. PRICE
WINNER IN COTTON
HE AND HIS FRIENDS SAID TO
HAVE CLEARED NEARLY ss.ooor
900 ON BULGE.

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.-By fortunate
speculations in cotton Theodore H. Price.
of the firm Of Price, Mccormick & Co..
which failed in May, 1900, with liabilities
of S13. 900, 900, has recouped, in a measure,
the millions sunk by his firm In a similar
venture two years ago. In less than 80
DAYS the winnings of Mr.. Price and his
friends have been swelled to nearly S.
600. 600 Mr.. Prices share of this vast sum
is small, but it is sufficient to give him q
new start In life.
Best of all, Mr.. Price himself said yes
terday his profits in cotton have been set
aside as q nucleus of redemption
fund.- with which he hopes to discharge
the debts Of honor contracted as men,
her of the hrm of Price, Mccormick & Co.
The failure of this house was due to a
decline in the cotton market and inability
to margin transactions which, as subse-
uuent events proved, would have paid
enormous profits. Mr.. Price engineered
this deal in cotton without the knowledge,
If has been said, Of George Croker, q spe-
cial partner, and other members OF the
firm. Millions were sunk before the re-
sources of Price. Mccormick & Co. were
exhausted. Mr.. Croker is now suing as q
creditor to recover the special capital
which he invested.
The failure was both sensational and.
romantic Mr.. Prices partners blamed
him for prolonging the deal IN cotton de-
claring he had acted without authority
and. creditors clamored for a settlement.
At this time Mr.. Price was engaged to
Miss Harriet Dyer, sister Of Mrs James
L. Taylor. 1t was reported the engage
rnent might be broken, but Mr.. Prices
fiancee stiIled all gossip by requesting an
immediate marriage. and the ceremony
took place two days after the failure IN
the Church of the Epiphany.
Mr.. Price is one of the best posted men
regarding cotton production and last sum-
rner. when It became apparent that the
drought in Texas and bad weather in the
Atlantic States would be likely to reduces
the crop he induced capitalists who had
confidence in his Judgment to invest In
the staple.
For months the syndicate has been q
heavy purchaser of cotton on an advance
ing market. Thousands Of bales were pur-
chased at the low level of prices prevails
ing a few months ago and Mr.. Price has
seen his judgment confirmed in subse-
auent advances of nearly cents pound,
equivalent to SO for each bale purchased.
At the present time authorities on cot
ton are unable to agree as to the probable
crop, the estimate ranging 9,445,7O4 to H.
10000 bales. The last estimate is that OF
NELL, of New Orleans Mr.. Prices latest
figures are approximately $4,000 balcs..
Because of the prospective shortAge
prices have advanced to s IL cents a
pound, and sentiment in the cotton centers
is still bullish.

HON. JOHN M. BLEcKLEY
PASSES AWAY IN CLAYTON

CLAYTON. Ca, Feb. ls.-Hon. John NJ
Bleckley died of heart failure at his home
eleven miles east Of here Monday morning at
4 o'clock.
Mr. Bieckley was one OF the most successful
farmers IN this section Of the state. and prob
ably the most popular man in Rabun county.
He represented his county in the lower house
of the general assembly in lS7S-l8T9. ,- This
being the first and in many respects the most
important legislature since the adoption OF the
present state constitution. His sound Judg-
ment and good common sense were OF great
value TO his state and county.
Esquire Bleckley's was one of Georgias most
remarkable families. His father, James Bleck-
ley, was one of the patriarchs of the county,
and one of the few men in his early manhood
who took hold OF the political destinies of
Rabun when IL was first organized county.
He was one of the few men Of whom IL Is
said. He has holden all OF the public offices
in the gift of his people" man in whom
there was no guile and in whom the people
had absolute faith. OF his sons the deceased
is one of two who followed in the footsteps
of his, father, became a tiller of the soil.
Judge F. A. Bleckley. who served his county
from 1892 to 1896 as ordinary is the other.
Thomas. another brother. settled near Mem
phis Tenn, and made a success in business.
Sylvester, another brother. who died few
years since, settled in Anderson, s. C., and
amassed a fortune of some 500 900. And the
other, Judge Logan E., ex-chief Justice, what
Georgian fails to know him? His life is an
open book and is inseparable from the history
of his state.
