COTTON CRUSADE.


When the American patriots az
Philadelphia signed their Declaration
Of independence in l77B. neither they
nor their English oppressors so much
as dreamed that in little more than a
century and a quarter-in 1004-Eng
land would draw up a declaration Of
independence aimed at the tyranny
of American cotton
Such declaration has. in effect
been issued; and not only England.
but France and Germany as well, have
entered upon joint campaign for
the emancipation Of European cotton
mills from their dependence upon the
American staple
The American cotton market, say
the English and continental spinners,
is controlled by spectators" who
swing prices back and forth for pri-
vate gain. What Europe hopes to DO
is to establish cotton plantations IN
the African colonies, whence they ex-
pect in time to derive a supply ade-
quate to meet their needs; whereup-
on they can give American cotton the
commercial cut direct
So far, while efforts at cotton rails
ing in Africa have proved agricultur-
ally successful, no considerable head
way has been made toward the estab-
lishment of a cotton growing industry
in Africa The amount of cotton pro
duced outside of America and India
is inconsiderable.
The feasibility Of African cotton,
agriculturally speaking, is undisputed
The problem is one of labor; the ma
tive tribes being, as a rule, i'll adapted
to the cultivation Of cotton. The prop
osition TO import "coolie" labor from
China IS a far cry" and an admission
of weakness. But greater dificul les
than these have been overcome in the
past history of industrial struggle
Europe has reached point almost Of

time certainly find new sources of COT
ton supply.
We see in this no great peril to the
south. unless these African planta ions
develop much more rapidly than ap-
pears at all probable. The demand
for cotton is increasing so constantly
and the market for its products is
broadening out so largely that new
sources Of supply must eventually be
found; and when found viii not ma
terially diminish the price of south
ern cotton. In fact, we believe that
before many years the population of
the United States will be SO great and
the southern mills so well equipped
that practically the entire cotton crop
of the south will be consumed at
home; and such Of it as is shipped
abroad win be sent in the form Of
cloth and yarn.

HELD FOR MURDER.
The Newton Brothers BOund Over to
The District Court Without Bail.

Clark and Morris Newton, the
two young men who killed Patrick
King, had their preli minary hear
ing last Friday before Justice Col
lins and were held to answer to the
charge of murder in the first degree
and were ordered committed to
Jail without bail until the October
term of the district court.
The preliminary trial brought
out nothing new in the bloody
tragedy and the circumstances and
details of the murder are substan-
TALLY as told in the Index last week.
As stated, there will probably be
no attempt to shield the younger
boy, Morris, but the older one,
Clark, will stand trial. G.. M.Mar-
tin has been retained to defend him.
Morris has fully determined to do
all in his power to help his brother.
Probably the most pathetic cir
cumstance surrounding the young
criminals is the sad predicament in
which it has placed their mother.
She IS a small and frail woman at
best and the shock has almost un-
nerved her. She arrived from her
home at Cleo, Oklahoma, on We'd
nesday of last week, and on first
glance it could easily be seen that
her trouble was weighing heavily
upon her. On Thursday night her
mind was overcome and she was
pronounced temporarily insane.
She attended the preliminary hear
ing a part of the time and was
greatly affected, and thereafter she
continued to grow worse until Mon
tag Of this week when Sheriff I1aun
had her taken home. To add to
her troubles, she has a sick daugh-
ter at home whose condition is SER
iouS.
The father is still in St. Louis.
He writes that he will come as
soon as he can get away.

pie in eastern Barber county who

dence in the county. The direct
cause of her death was cancer.

THEY WERE SCARED.

Two young men who took in
the ball game at Kiowa last
thursday had their nerves consider
ably Jared on their return home
at night. The danger point in
their minds was the Medicine river
bridge south of town where the
body OF a murdered man was
found a week prior. They were
driving a rather slow horse, it
seems, and did not keep up with
the crowd and the nearer they got
to the bridge the greater was their
fear, and when they finally reached
1t they whipped their horse into a
gallop and did not put down the
whip until they reached town.
Just before they got to the bridge
they ran into a movers camp and
a man crept out from underneath
the wagon whom they swore was
the dead mans ghost. Both of
them came near fainting. Follow
ing this a horse hacker came up in
the rear and they say he looked
bad, One of the men grabbed for
a gun and came near shooting the
imaginary foe and only was kept
from doing SO by reason of the
TACT that the householder did not
tarry long enough to give the bows
time to take aim. Both of these
young men vow by all that is high
OF low that they will not be caught
IN the vicinity of that bridge again
whenit is dark.

MARRIED In ST. LOUIS.

Miss Essie Lindley was married
to Mr.. w. A. Scott in St. Louis last
Thursday afternoon, August 4, 1904,
at 4 o'clock. When Miss Essie left
here last Tuesday, accompanied by
her father, none of her friends out
side of immediate relatives knew
the true purpose of her trip and she
led all to believe that she was 60
ing merely to attend the Worlds
Fair, and when it was learned on
Friday that she had become a bride
her friends were greatly surprised.
Miss Essie is the oldest child and
only daughter of T. L. Lindley of
this city. She has grown from
childhood to womanhood in Medi-
cine Lodge and was one of the
city's most charming and sweetest
tempered young ladies. All of her
friends regret that she has left, that
they are deprived of her society,
but send boundless good wishes for
her continued happiness.
Her husband, Mr.W. A. Scott, was
here several months last winter and
spring in the interest of the Equit-
able Insurance Company, and it
was then that the young people met
in courtship which has now cu1-
minated in a happy marriage.
After their marriage Mr.. and Mrs.
Scott remained in St. Louis a few
days after which they went to De-
trolt, Michigan, where Mr.. Scott
has responsible clerical position
IN the pOstoffice. Mr.. Scott is
pleasant gentleman, we'll qualified

which he may be called.
