GEORGIA WOMAN INSANE
IN NORTH CAROLINA

Mrs. NJ f. Cunningham, of Augusta,
has been adjudged insane by a jury in
Wilmington, N. c., but being a resident
OF Georgia, cannot be committed to the
state asylum in North Carolina. Gov
ernor Gambler received a letter from the
authorities Of Wilmington Monday
asking for advice on the subject, and
inquiring If she could not be sent to an
asylum in Georgia, since the verdict had
been returned against her in North
Carolina.
Under the Georgia law no insane per-
son can be sent TO the state asylum
without having been adjudged insane in
the county in which the person lives,
and the only solution of the Cunningham
case, according to Governor Gambler, is
TO return the woman TO Richmond coun-
ty and have her tried there.
Mrs. Cunningham, It is said, left Au-
gusta several weeks ago TO visit her
mother In Wilmington, and while there
developed signs of insanity. She has be-
come extremely violent. has attempted
suicide, and has threatened to kill her
mother. She will probably be returned
to Augusta.

QUEER CASE OF BROWN;
FEARED MEDICAL STUDENTS

Dreading the saws of imaginary medical
students who he thought were pursuing
him, Ross Brown, a young man from
Gainesville, was Sunday taken in charge
by Officer Florence.
Brown went 10 the Grady hospital to
see hts uncle, John Grower, who had been
III there. When he called at the hospital
he was told his relative had been dead a
week
He was told that the body OF his uncle
had been given 10 the trustees of the
Soldiers Home for burial. In some way
he became impressed with the idea that
medicaE students had gotten his uncles
body. and by the time he reached the
union depot the students were after him.
He appealed to men TO protect him, and
at last went 10 an officer.
Next morning Brown repudiated the
whole AFFAIR, and says IL is untrue. He
still claims that there were lot of men
who were plotting to catch him He says
he does not know whether they were med
zeal students, and that he never thought
the students had gotten his uncle's body.
He is quiet, but insists there was a crowd
after him. He says perhaps they were just
trying to Fighter hIm.

Murphy q Co.'s Cotton Letter.

NEW YORK, June 1s.-There was a rally OF
to points In early prices for cotton. No little
interest was shown in the market. Prices, IL
appears. had been depressed mainly because of
the suspicion that Texas has been considerably
improving, but as matter of fact there was
no evidence OF any decided Improvement there
outside Of the statement In yesterdays govern
ment report that cotton was holding its own.
The point dwelt upon by operators is that
Texas cannot possibly make a remarkably
heavy crop this season because OF the dry
winter months there. At all events, even con-
ceding the most brilliant outlook at this time,
II is recalled that the period of deterioration as
a rule usually sets in after the month Of June,
hence IL is entirely premature to jump to the
conclusion that the crop will be large one.
Furthermore, 1t is agreed that the trade can
now we'll stand a crop OF twelve million bales,
In view OF the worlds requirements, which are
year after year increasing. There was little in
the market this morning beyond covering of
local shorts Several points in Texas reported
rain, the most important being at Lulng. Liv-
erpool bought here to a moderate extent Rain
fell at various points in Mississippi. Gables
opened weak and closed steady. Receipts at
ports 5000, against 800 last year.

MACON DRUGGISTS
TRY TO ORGANIZE

MACON, June 1.-THE retail druggists
of Macon are trying to organize to keep
out the cut-price druggists that might at
tempt to come I'm at some future time. A
meeting was called for last evening and a
number of the druggists met, but there
were several absent, and IL was decided to
postpone the meeting until some day later
in the week. The organization is to be a
branch of the National Retail Druggists
association. The cut-price man is the en-
envy that the association will fight, but
there are other reasons for the existence
of such an organization. Macon has never
had a cut-price drug store, and IL the
dealers here can prevent it, she never will
have one.

NEBRASKA REPUBLICANS
WILL NOMINATE TICKET

LINCOLN, Neb., June 17.-Interest in
tomorrow's republican state convention
-centers almost wholly in the head Of the
ticket.
The seven prominent candidates for the
governorship who have had their head
quarters established since Saturday were
doing active missionary work today
among the few delegates on the ground
but so evenly divided is the strength Of
at least five of them that the best political
prophets confessed their inability to even
signify the possible winner.
There was talk during the morning OF
abolishing the usual custom of renominat-
ing the remaining state Officers and fixing
up an entirely new slate. but active eff
forts in this direction were postponed
pending more light on the gubernatorial
puzzle.
