A COTTON PICKING MACHINE.
Pittsburg Man Enters Into Contract
TO Pick Cotton in Mississippi This
Fall

Birmingham. Ala, April 2s.-A spe-
cial to the Birmingham News from
Jackson, Miss, says:
The first regular contract ever made
in the world to pick cotton by machin
cry was closed in Greenville a few
days since. and the first experiment
with the machine will be made on
plantation in Washington county next
fall. A Pittsburg man is the invsntor
of the device. and for the past ten
years has been conducting experiments
in the vicinity of Greenville. He now
claims that the device has been model
ed on a practical working basis, and
feels confident that he will revolution
ize the cotton picking industry in the
South. The machine, ne admits, is
valueless except on the level uplands,
low valleys ana prairie grounds. but
even If it should prove successful with
this limit its effect on the labor ques-
ton in the South will be very marked

BILE. They would kidnap him about
week before the day Of election. thus
compelling his paid substitute in the
interval to appear at all public func-
tons and make all speeches for which
the true candidate had made engage
ments. After election, should he prove
to have received a majority Of the cleo
torai votes, the candidate was to be
held a prisoner until after the succeed
ing 4th Of March. which would compel
the successful party to either inaugu-
rate a spurious president or admit that
the man elected was not to be found
and therefore could not be inaugurated.
Or, should developments after the elec-
ton make it seem wiser to restore the
elected candidate to his party before
March 4, heavy ransom could be de-

manded, which would repay the con-
spirators for the risk they would run
in kidnapping him.
The election would occur on Tuesday.
On the evening Of the preceding Thurs
day q final great political rally was to
be held in large Eall Of one Of the
chief cities. This rally would practical
" end the campaign, such meetings as
were to be held afterward being Of less
er Importance. The candidate credited
with having a double was to address
this great political meeting. There was
to be a torchlight procession first. and IN
order that as many persons as possible
might catch glimpse Of the great
man it was arranged that he should
ride from his hotel to the hall in an
open carriage at the head CT the pa
rade.
The conspirators Of the opposing par
ty, knowing of this plan, decided that
the best time to kidnap the candidate
would be just before the hour set for
the meeting. 1t was hoped by them
that the sa:aried substitute would be
unprepared for taking the place of his
principal before this great gathering
and would in his embarrassment and
unpreparedness leave bad impression
on the voters. The plotters therefore
decided to permit the candidate to pass
from the hotel to the hall as arranged
and seize him just as he was entering
the hall by private entrance. Two
dozen picked policemen were to be on
guard near the entrance, each Of whom
was to be a synpathizer with the con-
spirators and secretly act in conjunc-
ton with them. Plans were carefully
perfected, and it seemed reasonably
certain that the abduction could be sue
cessfully accomplished. With substi-
tute available the managers would GER
tainly have the mass meeting proceed
with an address by the spurious candi-
date rather than endanger the chances
Of the real candidates election by max
ing public the fact that he had been
captured and carried away and that it
was not known where he was or when
his person could be recovered.
But on the very morning Of the day
when the abduction was to occur and
when all the plans for its execution had
been arranged the startling news came
to the conspirators that the secret had
leaked out and that the candidate and
his managers would be prepared for the
kidnapping. a traitor to the enemy
straight from that enemy's camp

brought the conspirators the news. He
also divulged the plans the enemy had
prepared for outwitting the conspira-
tors. 1t was to be a case Of fooling the
fooled From this time on the salaried
substitute could we'll be spared. and the
plan of the enemy. as revealed by the
traitor, was to have the spurious candi-
date ride from the hotel to the hall in
the open carriage at the head Of the pa
rade, while the genuine candidate
should proceed to the hall in a closed
carriage and enter the building through
another entrance. The conspirators
should be suffered to carry out their
plans. only instead Of the real candi-
date it would be the substitute whom
they would capture and carry away.
This news brought CONSERVATION to
the conspirators at first, but after the
first, moments of discontinue and be-
wilderment the leader exclaimed:
"Why, all the better then. We will let
them see that we can change our plans
as quickly as they can theirs. We will
let them continue to think we are to do
as already planned. but in reality we
will let this substitute Of theirs enter
the hall. and we will capture the candi-
date in the closed carriage. The re-
suits will be the same as first plan
ned
ssHa, ha." shouted the other conspir-
ators and proceeded to rearrange their
plans accordingly.
That evening, with limelightS bring
ing his features into strong relief, there
rode in an open carriage at the head Of
a procession through double rows Of
cheering and shouting spectators
smiling and hatless man who strongly
resembled the presidential candidate.
He bowed and bowed, and few besides
those in the secret dreamed that he
was other than what he seemed.
At the same hour closed carriage
was driven rapidly from an alley in the
rear Of the candidates hotel and rolled
swiftly away through the more desert
ed streets toward the hall where the
meeting was to be held. When about
half the distance had been covered. q
band of horsenQa suddenly dashed
from cross stree aid barred the road
in front Of the carriage. One of the
horsemen quickly mounted the seat
with the driver. and. the others lining
up on either side of the vehicle, the
carriage and the little cayalcade sur
rounding it sped swiftly away toward
the environs of the city.
The occupant had made no outcry.
An hour or so later, when the great
hall was echoing and re-echoing to the
ringing tones Of the presidential candi-
date and to the respondent cheers Of his
audience. little band Of swearing con-
spirators were disgustedly kicking
about an efigy of straw that their lead
er had just pulled unceremoniously
from closed carriage.

STREET CAR FEED WIRE
Patrolnan c. +. Hogan Is Rendered
Observation-Disclosures Are
Not Serious.

Patrolman Cornelius T. Hogan, of
the Margaret street detail, picked up
a live wire at Sixth and Maria ave-
nue. early yesterday morning, and was
unconscious until noon. He was TAX
en- to his brothers residence, Hopkins
and Burr streets, where q physician
was summoned. At first it was
thought that thes officer had been kill
ed, as all attempts lat resuscitation
failed. Towards noon he began to re-
cover consciousness, seand during the
afternoon was much better. No sert-
Gus results are anticipated.
1t was learned that while on his
officer was informed Zby a street car
conductor that one OF the feed wires
was hanging down at Sixth and Maria.
me wire was in position where
passers-by could easily touch 1t with
fatal results. The officer attempted
to drag the end out of the way by
using his club, but the wire slipped off
every time. The officer finally be-
came exasperated and seized the wire
with his hands, supposing that 1t was
insulated. The wire carried 1000
volts, and knocked the officer down
as soon as he touched it.
Last night Officer Hogan, while fully
conscious, was in a dazed- condition
regarding his accident. He was at
fected with peculiar numbness
about the extremities, and could not
tell what happened to him. The ply
sicians say that his injuries will not
be serious, although he may be con-
lined to his home for several days.
