But of course. this is all speculation.
It is a fact that the failure of Sully
G. Co. was announced and it is a fact
that they made an assignment; but
there are intimations that they will
probably pay 100 cents on the dollar
within the next few days, and that they
will be able to resume operations soon.
Mr.. Sully, however, has seen his day
as a cotton king, and he will never
again be able to gather as many lambs
in his train as he has formerly led to
slaughter.

boys have a sincere veneration for the
old Confederate flag, we have no doubt.
We would not like to think otherwise:
but we are equally certain that they
would not seriously substitute 1t for the
Stars and Stripes, and believe in the
alleged escapade, II it really occurred.
there was very probably a boyish de-
sire to guy the Yankee commander.
and IL that officer has been trying to
teach them that their fathers were
wrong, the boys seem to have given
him a pretty good lesson.

THERE seems to be but very little rea-
son to hope that the State Democrat
ic convention will consider the idea OF
changing the rules of the party so as
to make the possession of a registra-
ton certificate a prerequisite to voting
in the primary. In our opinion. how
ever, there is no other one thing that
the convention could do that would
count more for the permanency of the
present party organization.

- The nomination of DR.. Leonard
Wood to be 4 major general in the
regular army was confirmed by the
senate last Friday by vote Of 40 to
lG. Two Republicans voted against
confirmation and five Democrats voted
with the Republican majority. These
Democrats were Cockrell Dubois, Pet
tus. Patterson. and Clark Of Arkansas.
The late Senator Hanna was the lead
er of the opposition to Woods confir-
nation and since his death the senate
has lost interest in the matter.
Fourteen Democratic senators voted
against confirmation. Gen. Wood Will
become head of the army in 1909.

NEW YORK. October 1.-The Episcopal
Convention, which opens Its first session
tomorrow In Boston, is a Is Legislative
body, AMI not at all for mere discussion,
excepting as that discussion runs to
Legislation for the church.
This year 1t is thought that much more
time will be given 10 missionary matters
In a simple and popular way than at3pre-
vious conventions. At certain times the
convention sits and does business as a
member OF missions. In this session tits
qu.e likely that the canon shaping or
machinery Of the church will be- 'iulls!d-
craoiy modified in the hope OF making 1t
more effective.
Several large Bible missionary meetings
may be held, the first night. for In
stance. iE Trinity Church, and at forwards
In Symphony Hall, or other large halls
of the city. Addresses will be made by
foreign bishops and other persons much
Interested IN 4 missions, and probably @
one or more OF the meetings the Arch
bishop OF Can terbury Will speak. He Is
now visiting this country for the flrst
time that primate Of all England has
ever. come to these shores 5l 5
The convention Is made up OF two
ho,,ses-the house OF bishops, sitting by
themselves, and, not open to the public,
and the house OF deputies. made up OF.
four priests and four lay representatives

ing. He was seen by the engineer TO
be lying on the track "a the train ap-
preached. but it was impossible to stop
the train in the short distance. Wheth-
er or not he was dead before the train
struck him Will probably never be
known, as his body was so badly mu-
tilated by the wheels that 1t was inn
possible 20 ascertain whether there
were any marks OF previous violence.
i is thought that he may have been
Knocked insensible or murdered by
robbers. as his watch was missing.
The robbery OF William Shoemaker

color TO this theory, but 10 Is pointed
our On the other hand. that his pocket
book was found lying near the body
Where II had apparently dropped from
the pocket When the unfortunate

walking along the track.

he was going back to his lodgings near
