CORNERING OF COTTON
THIS PERNICIOUS PRACTICE II
DEPLORABLE.
Saws President Wormsley Of the
New England Cotton Manufactur-
ers' AssOciatiOn-lr rEes Young Wen
to Join the AssociatiOn-Prai~e for
the south.

Lenox, Mass, September 3J.-When
President Herbert E. WormsIey Of Bed
ford today gave the call to order for
the semi-annuaI meeting of the New
England Cotton Manufacturers Associa-
ton, nearly 200 members were present.
In his address, President Warms.ey
urged the young men in the association
TO come TO the front and assume their
share in the work of the association.
He referred to the unsatisfactory con-
dition of the cotton trade at the present
time and said the past few months had
been one of the most difficult periods
ever experienced.
The prevailing quietUde in the trade.
he said. has undoubtedly been intenSi-
fled by the raw material situation. II
Is Il depIOrabIe circumstance h. con-
tinued. that the pernicious practice Of
covering such Il necessary staple as
cotton should be possible, demOraliZing
and pardIIyzing for the time being, an
industry of such immense wealth .

OF employment and reducing To tn
verge of starvation. the thousands Il
families whose very existence Is de
pendent upon the continued and steady
operation of the factories where they
find employment. The banetuI intlu-
euce of this speculative manipulation Of
cotton is a matter for serious concern.
and for which there can be no justiti-
cation whatsoever
The force of these considerations
should surely be sufficient to Justify
some concerted and united action to-
wards putting Il stop to the gambling
operations which inflict such wide
spread suffering and injury upon so
many and such important interests"
In referring to the cotton manufac-
turning in the south, President Worms
ley said:
we warmly congratulate the south
on the great development OF its natural
and Industrial resources. There is sure
ly ample room for both north and south.
The supremacy of cotton manufactur-
ing in New England VIII continue TO
be unassaIIable."
\ resolution was adopted requesting
the state department at Washington to
give the association all possible infor-
nation in regard to the need of foreign
countries in the cotton market. This IS
understood to indicate that the New
England manufacturers will pay more
attention than hitherto to the eXporta-
tion Of cotton goods.

ELECTION TO BE HELD
Will End One of Sensational
 Affairs in Militia.
of Col. DuMont of First Major Ericken of Second and Majors westcott and
 Beck Expire.

The commission of Colonel E. L. Hig- don of the 3rd Infantry has expired and an election will be ordered to fill the vacancy.
 The election, 1t is hoped will end the dissension which has existed in the 3rd Infantry for go long and which has to some extent impaired the usefulness of the command. No date for the election has been determined upon, but it will be ordered as soon as practicable. Tie. are at present some vacancies among the line officers of the regiment. These will be first filled by election and then the e'ec- ton for Colonel will be ordered
 Colonel Higdon has not been in active command of the regiment for nearly two years. He was the central figure in the greatest sensation that ever disturbed the National Guard of Alabama. It began with some heated correspondence between him and Lieutenant Colonel Osceola Kyle of the 3rd. correspondence which resulted in Colonel Higdon's preferring charges against Colonel Kyle and for the trial of the charges a court-martial was held re- plete with sensations. Troubles and dis sensions in the regiment dating back to the Spanish-Ameriean war were brought forth and aired.
 The court in its findings assessed a nom- inal fine against Colonel Kyle The evil dence showed the existence of an lntol- erable state of affairs in the regiment.
 Governor Jelks overruled the findings of the court and suspended all field officera of the command. Lieutenant Colonel Kyle and the three majors resigned. After the vacancies had been filled Colonel Higdon was restored to the command of the reg irnent.
 He wrote the Governor demanding an explanation of his suspension. He was again relieved of his command He has been under suspension since then. He tried to secure an order from the courts for his restoration. but in every instance the decision was against him. The case went finally to the Supreme Court where the decision of the lower court was sus- tained.
 Since tile suspension of Colonel TTigdon the regiment has been commanded by Lieutenant Colonel F. P. Mcconnell of Talladega. who succeeded Colonel Kyle.
 It Is understood that at the approach ing election the candidates will be Lieu tenant Colonel F, P. Mcconnell of Talla- dega and Captain Hughes B. Kennedy of Birmingham. the Adjutant of the Srd.
 The commission of Colonel Robert B. duMont. commanding the list Infantry, has expired and an election will be or dered to f1ll the vacancy. Colonel du- Mont has served in the Alabama National Guard more than twenty years. He is one of the most popular men in 1t. ant 1t Is predicted that he will be reelected unanimously.

His Dastardly Crime.

His Dastardly urine.
 The crime for which Willard Lee paid the death penalty today was committed on May 20. 1902. when he shot and Killed Miss Lila May Suttles.a beautiful l7-year- old girl, who lived at Ben Hill. coun- try village. several miles from Atlanta.
 The shooting occurred on Sunday morn ing and in a church of which Miss Suttles and Lee were attendants. The tragedy took place directly after the minister pro- nounced the benediction and was dismiss ing the congregation. Lee. who had been very muc hin love with Miss Suttles had previously asked to go home with her and she had refused. stating she had an engagement with another. which seemed to anger Lee.
 During the service. Lee had been seated three seats behind her and as she started out of the church, meeting her face to face, in the aisle. Lee fired three times at her with a pistol. One of the bullets took effect. killing Miss Suttles instantly. She fell at the foot of the altar.
 Lee was afterward captured and at his first trial found guilty of murder and was sentenced to death. Upon the day of execution a plea of insanity was filed by his attorneys and respite was grant, ed by Governor Terrell.
 The case was carried to the superior court and upon a techinicalty was thrown out. An appeal was taken to the Supreme Court and the judgment of the lower court was reversed. This action occasioned a trial on the plea of insanity and Lee was adjudged sane. Again the resort which affirmed the superior courts decision. While the case was pending in the various courts. Lee was granted six respItes.

Boynton says that since the park has been desig- mated as a national maneuvering ground 793 acres of additional ground has been acquired, part of which has been chosen as an important cavalry post. The ar rangement for the post has not interfered with the marking of the additional tract. The general also says:
 Ut is also matter of satisfaction to the commission that for another year the practical use of the park by the govern ment has continued by maintaining the field camp of the Seventh cavalry with its limits.
 "In view of the wild reports of the un- healthfuiness of the park which gained currency during the war with Spain. It is proper to say that the health of the soldiers camped there and of the park force and It's laborers has continued ex- ceptionally good. The water throughout the park has proved excellent. and an abundant supply has been secured for the encampments and the new post from flowing wells. The States Of New York. Maryland and Iowa are preparing to erect State monuments during the coming season, for each of which liberal ap- propriations have been made by the States named"

 T was weak and thin, nervous and without appetite, took cold easily and was afraid of consumption. l could not sleep, was always tired and I felt miserable. Good doctors treated me but failed to do me any good and I was discouraged of ever getting better, until a friend told me of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. I began to take them and kept on until had used three boxes. By that time was an entirely different person. The nervousness had all gone, could eat and sleep, I gained in weight and felt strong and well. My friends began to remark on the color in my cheeks and l told them Dr. Williams Pink Pills had done 1t and had restored me to health. That was several years ago but from that day to this I have retained my health and strength"
