AT O'Clock in the afternoon, when

duently dislodging a remnant of the

captured the entire works"

BUT A SMALL FIRE;
NO CONFEDERATION
BLAZE AT FORT GAINES
WILL NOT LIGHT UP THE WHOLE
COTTON BELT.

Commissioner of Agriculture stew
ems Rejected the Plan Clay County
Farmers Proposed to Get Rid or
the Surplus Cotton Crop-He win
Hold His Cotton for Ten Cents, as
VIII Gov. Terrell-Reduction or
Acreage Needed, Says stevens.
Atlanta, Dec. 29.-The action of the
farmers of Clay county in burning cot
ton at Fort Gaines yesterday was the
chief topic of discussion at the Capitol
to-day. Commissioner of Agriculture
o. B. Stevens suggests a meeting of
commissioners of agriculture of the
cotton growing states, to be held in
New Orleans the latter part of jan
uary at which steps should be taken
to get planters everywhere to agree
to plant only ten acres to the mule in
1906.
The departments of agriculture, Col.
Stevens says, can do this through their
extensive mailing lists and correspond
ence system. Speaking of the action
OF the Clay county farmers, Col.
Stevens said:
Certainly I am opposed to the
farmers of Georgia burning the sur
plus cotton crop of the state, and 1
shall certainly not join in the bonfire
with my unsold crop. I have twenty
nine bales, which I made since the
cotton market declined, and have
warehoused it to hold until cotton gets
back UP around 10c. / sold most of
my crop around that figure, and 1 ex-
pect to sell the rest of it at that some
day. That is what all the farmers OF
the state should do, and next year
they should cut down the acreage"
Here is what Gov. Terrell says of the
incident:
1T costs too much to make cotton to
burn it. am going to store my un-
sold crop of fifteen bales and hold it
for 10 cents. l am not going to burn
any of my crop"
Net the Way, Says NicoIson.
President George A. Nicolson of the
Southern Cotton Buyers Association,
speaking of the cotton burning at Fort
Gaines. said to-day:
"Of course, if the farmers of the
South destroy enough cotton the price
will be Increased, but they won't do
ft, and no one -blanles them. 1T is
ridiculous to think that any one will
deliberately destroy something for
which he has paid money. 1t would
be necessary to destroy 100000 bales of
cotton to check the slump in the price,
and destruction of this amount would
entail a net loss of $13,OOO.O0O. The
farmers could successfully check the
slump by holding their cotton and de-
creasing the acreage next year. This
has been suggested as the best plan
to follow, and many planters will
doubtless adopt this method of. pro-
tecting themselves"

BARROW KILLED
MOTHER-IN-LAW
SHOT HIS YOUNG WIFE
AND SENT TWO BULLETS INTO HIS
OWN nODY.

ThOmasviIIe Excited by Tragedy
the Crime of uxorfcfde and suicide.
Fired Five Times Upon His wife.
Then Killed His Mother-in-Law,
Mrs. Pnrrish--Used "a Winchester
Upon Himself.
Thomasville. Ga. Dec. 20.-This att
ernoon at 1:15 an attempted murder,
attempted suicide and killing took
place in this city.
J. b. Barrow, an engineer on the
Atlantic Coast Line, while endeavor-
ing to kill his wife, Nina Parrish Bar
row, shot five times at her with a 30
caliber pistol. He inflicted only
slight flesh wound in her left hand, but
shot and killed his mother-in-law, Mrs.
William Parrish.
He then went to his room, seized a
Winchester rifle, and placing the muz-
zle against mis- abdomen, shot him
self twice. The ring on his watch
detected the course Of one bullet and
saved his life. The other penetrated his
lung, but unless complications set in he
will probably recover. He is at the
City Hospital under guard of a spe-
cial deputy. He claims that the shoot
ing Of his mother-in-law was acciden-
tai, and that he regrets her death. He
says he wishes to die.
A peculiar feature of the tragedy
was the fact that after Barrow had
shot himself. he staggered to the tele-
phone, called up the Office of the
Thomasvifle Times Enterprise and told
of his deed. telling them to send a
reporter to the scene.
The shooting took place at the
Parrish home on Campbell street. On
the premises at the time were two
visitors. John V. Tinly. a young man
Of Waynesboro. nephew Of the dead
woman. and Mrs. Hartwell Lambert
of Fitzgerald Sallie Jones, a negro
cook was also there All say they
did not see the fatal shot fred.
Barrow's claim of accident is not
born out by the position Of the body
when found He admits frequent quar-
rels with the dead woman. The en-
gineer Is 36 years Of age and his wife
Is. They have been married two years,
but never lived happily together.
