Henry Grady's Tribute to Cotton

We think it appropriate at this
time, owing to the exalted attitude
assumed by the king OF staples. to
reproduce this eloquent tribute to
cotton. 1t was as follows:
What a royal plant it is. The
world waits in attendance on It's
growth; the shower that falls whis-
pering on It's l~a-rs Is heard around
the earth; the sun that shines on it
is tempered by the prayers Of all the
people; the frost that chills it and
the dew that descends from the stars
are neted, and the trespass Of little
worm on Its green leaf is more to
England than the advance of the
Russian army on her Asian outposts.
1t is gold from the instant it puts
forth Its tiny shoot. It's fibre is cur
rentNin every bank, and when, loos-
ing Its fieeces to the sun, 1t floats
sunny banner that glorifies the fields
Of the humble farmer, that man is
marshaled under . flag that will com.
pei the allegiance Of the world and
wiring q subsidy from every nation on
earth. 1t is the heritage that God
gave to this people as their own when
He arched our skies, established our
mountains, grit rs about with ocean, /,
loosed the breezes, tempered the sun
shine and measured the rain. Ours
and our children's forever. As prince
ly talent as ever came from His
J hand 10 iaortal Stewardship"

ATTEMPTED POISONING,
Negro Cook Did it at Request
Judge Mulligan'S Son.
Poison Put In Dish of Baked
iSh--NegrO Gave
Alarm.

A dlabolical plot to poison the en-
tire family OF Judge James II. Multi
gan, former Consul General to Samoa
and one of the most distinguished
citizens OF Lexington, KY, came to
light late Saturday afternoon, and
Louis Mitchell, a negro servant boy
In the Mulligan family, has been a
prisoner ever since.
Saturday afternoon about 4 o'clock
the Mull!gan family sat down to
lunch, Judge Mulligan his wife and the
children living at home being seated
at the table. Among the dishes
brought In and placed on the tab e
was one OF baked salmon, of which
Jucge Mulligan Is very fond. The
family had just seated themselves
and were on the point Of beginning
the meal, when the Negro boy, Louis
Mitchell, who waits on the table, call
ed young Desnis Mulljgan to one
side and whispered to him not to eat
OF the baked salmon, as there was
something the matter with 1t. The
negro's nervous, excited manner at
once aroused the suspicion of young
Mulligan aud be pressed the negro
for a further explanation. He then
told him that II contained poison and
begged him to notify the other men,
bers OF the family not to eat Of 1t.
Mitchell said he had attempted the
deed at the solicitation of James Null
llgan, who came from Chicago
on Thursday to attend his sisters
wedding. He sa d: Jim asked me
If would kill the old woman for him
meaning Miss Jennie. and l told him
l might be induced to do so. He said
IF you will l will give you $500
three days after you do It, l said /
might kill all the family. and Jim
said 1t made no difference, you get
her. He handed me a blue paper
containing a powder and said: Get
some salmon and have 1t served for
lunch. You put this In the salmon
and mix 1t abont good. After the
funeral will hand you the money"
Young Milligan was notified by
long distance phone of the confess
Ion of the negro Mitchell. He started
at once and reached Lexington from
Chicago Tuesday evening. He denied
the negro's accusation In toto.

BABY GIRL IS FOUND
, Under a Bush on Hartford
Road Near OwenSbOrO.
Wrapped in Knit Shirt and Piece
of Flannel Only a
Few Days Old.

A taby girl, apparently only few
days old, was found Sunday morning
under bush by the roadside on the
farm OF RoJ Yewell, three miles from
, Greensboro, on the Hartford road.
The baby, wrapped In an old knit shirt
and lace Of flannel, had evidently
been placed there several hours before.
The discovery was made about 5
O'Clock By Uriah Allison who lives
near the Yeweil farm and who Was
attracted by the cries OF the Infant

walton and exposure.
Mr.. Allison took the infant 20 his
home and at once telephoned to the au-
thorities al Greensboro. { .rs.ablt John
Ashby went immediately TO the place
and made complete examination. A
, rubber tire buggy had been driven to
the place toward daylight on Sunday
morning as was evidenced by the
freshness OF the tracks. A steady
rain fell Saturday night and did not
cease until some hours after midnight
The tracks were unquestionsbly made
after the rain. Other than that the
perpetrators of the crime used a rub
Der tire buggy and horse freshly shoe
all around, no clue could be obtained.
A careful examination was made OF
the wIappings of the child but they
bore no marks. They were OF poor
quality and dirty.
Several persons living in the neigh
borhood remember to have seen bug
Ky pass. coming toward Greensboro,
about daylight Sunday morning. All
the curtains were tightly fastened and
the occupants Of the vehicle were not
seen by any one so far as has been learn
ed. The tracks show that the buggy
was driven TO the spot where the child
was abandoned from the direction OF
Greensboro and that 1t was turned
around at that spot. The general
opinion in the neig Is that
the person OF persons who brought
the child to the place was we'll &C
quainted with the locality.
The infant will be at the Allison
home until the court makes some pro
vision for it. The abandonment of a
child In this manner is quite a serious
offense ard If the offender. or offenders
should be caught, they will doubtless
be given a long term in the peni-
tentiary. The county officials and
the citizens of the neightorhood will
make every effort to hunt down the
perpetrators OF the heinous and I'M
natural crime.
