could learr Except in one or two
instances the attorneys on neither
side prompted any questions. Mr..
Blease did not appear at the inquest.
The testimony was as follows:
DR.. J. J. Kirksey testified as fol-
lows: Il was called up on the street
at the corner of Smith Brothers
store on Friday evening about sum
down last Friday, the 9th, and found
Mr.. Coleman lying on the sidewalk.

one in the corner of the shoulder that
went on through into the body, and
one in the righl hip that came out

three of them, would have killed him.

would live through the night"

C. c. Mathis testified as follows:
"Just about sundown l was standing
just before my store, thereabout 90
or 70 yards from Smiths corner, and
heard the fire of a pistol. I looked
up and Mr.. Coleman ran down and
just as he got in sight about six feet
he fell back against Smiths corner

Other Organizations Will Help.

The cotton agent Of the Farmers
Educational and Cooperative union
of Texas was present with us at Ashe-
vile and took part in the secret
sessions OF the executive committee.
He came as the representative Of the
union and assisted in fixing the price
at II cents, stating that such a price
would be acceptable to the 100000
members of the union We can now
depend upon the effective cooper
alton of all the farmers of the union,
as the new president of the union.
Mr.. Calvin, of Paris, Texas, has writ
ten me encouraging cooperation to
more completely win out in the fight
ahead. We also have pledged the
active cooperation Of the member
ship of the American Society Of
Equity and the Farmers Alliance of
North Carolina in enforcing the de-
mand tor the minimum price OF II
cents. This makes the position of
the producers almost impregnable,
and with all Of these powerful farm
ers' organizations working in har-
mony for mutual protection, I feel
safe in saying that the fight can and
will be easily whipped There will be
no misunderstanding among these
organizations this season on this mat
ter. We will all work in harmony to-
gether, and a knowledge of that fact
ought to be most encouraging. If
the Farmers union wanted one price
and the S. C. A. another, there would
be difficulty ahead, but both organi-
cations are now together and q will
work together to win out on the price
agreed upon.
Sell but little cotton in September
and October. Give the mills chance
to exhaust present supplies, which
can be done in six weeks, and then
we can easily dictate terms and win
another big victory. Sell no middling

tain our price is to refuse to sell for
less and make the buyers come to
our figures. If cotton is thrown on
the market and sold anyway, it will
be difficult to force prices up until
much later in the season. Let those
who are able and can hold back do
so and thereby help those who are
forced to sell to meet their maturing
debts and obligations with the sup
ply merchants and guano dealers.
Bankers will be glad to advance
from s to 9 cents a pound on cotton
in storage and thus assist in financing
The situation We are up against a
hard fight, but it will be easier to get
II cents for small crop than 10
cents for a 100000 bale crop.
Stand Bv Your Guns.
We are now we'll entrenched, with
plenty Of ammunition in the shape of
corn and meat, our banks have plenty
OF money, the enemy is in retreat,
and if we don't whip this fight and
force the price of cotton to above II
cents, then the, farmers of the south
ought to have a guardian appointed
to look after their business interests.
The mills of the world have taken
crop of 100000 bales of American
cotton during the last twelve months,
at an average price of 9 cents per
pound. There will be no check in
consumption during the next twelve
months. The price of cotton goods is
very high and going still higher. The
whole civilized world is in a prosper
Gus condition and it is unreasonable
to say that the farmers should not
this season receive an average Of II
cents per pound for crop of cot
ton now estimated to be under ten
million bales. All you have got to do
is to stand pat for your price, refuse
to sell under II cents and the mar
ket will soon advance to that figure.

HARVIE JORDAN SAYS
MAINTAIN MINIMUM
SOUTHERN COTTON ASSO-
CATION.
Stand BY Your Guns Is Advice to the
Farmers-Or Have A Guardian
Appointed.
President Haryie Jordan says:

The executive committee of the
Southern Cotton association held its
meeting at Asheville, N. c., last week,
and the question of fixing a minimum
price of this crop was the matter of
greatest interest of the people and
country at large. The eyes of the
whole cotton world were centered on
Asheville during the 9th and 9TH days
of September, while the executive
committee was in session.
The price finally agreed upon after
lorg and tedious deliberation was II
cents, basis middling, at all interior
points in the south. The condition
of the crop up to August 25th was
found to be 1903 per cent, for the
same period a year ago, The esti-
mated yield of the crop as reported
by over 1900 correspondents from all
the cotton growing counties indicated
a yield this season Of o,5S8,I33 bales,
as compared with crop of 100000
bales last year. Letters from farmers
all over the belt advised minimum
price ali tie way from 10 cents to
I2 I-2 cents, some figuring as high as
IS cents. But the final result was II
cents, and farmers all over the south
will be expected to stand firmly to-
gether this fall and winter TO main
tain that price. By determined ef-
fort prices can be forced up above II
cents later on and farmers should de-
termine now to move their crops
slowly and not rush the market. The

4 successful merchant and business
man has this to say to his fellow mer-
chants:
There is only one way to advertise,
and that is to hammer your name, your
location, your business, so constantly,
so persistently, so thoroughly in the
peoples heads that if they walked in
their sleep they would constantly turn
their faces toward your store. The
newspaper is your best friend in spite
of any criticism. 1t helps to build up
the community that supports you.
When the day comes that the news
papers are dead, the people are near
the edge of the grave with no one to
write their epitaph."

The South is forging ahead. The
valuation of property in the fourteen
southern states, including West Vir-
ginia, has increased by more than 50
per cent. during the last fifteen years.
This is a splendid showing. The time
is not far distant when the south will
be well up with the north in CONNER
cial matters. SOutherners arc sol, inp
their own problems and in course of a
few years, the improvement along all
lines will be even more noticeable than

The Old Way.

DIR. E. w. Shelton first locates it by
means of Roentgen rays, then moves
the limb about until the needle appears
as a single point. An ink spot is placed
over each end, and the two spots are
pressed together, slowly forcing the
sharp points Of the needle through the

there should be a dining room of 900

have portrayed on its walls the entire
Santa Fe trail from Westport on the
Missouri river to ancient Santa Fe,
with a sketch of the modern scenic
route in addition. On the walls of the
reception rooms and dining rooms could
be hung canvases, representing the
old prairie schooners, stage coaches.

He Did Not Pull His LsG, But


A mine manager must posses many,
and oftentimes rare qualities to pro.
perly hold down his job and promote
the best interests Of the company by
which he is employed. Quite often il
is up to him to tackle something of
which he has not the slightest knowl-
edge, however complete his education
might have been in the study of ore
deposits, machinery and methods of
operation. Many mining camps are
without doctor, for instance, and the
manager often realizes that previous
education in medicine and surgery
would come in very handy to him and
enable him not only to relieve suffering
but also, in many cases, keep good
workmen with him who apply for leave
Of absence to "go to town to get me-
dicine, have tooth pulled" etc., and
forget to come back.

OF mining property not over 25 miles

care of all the ordinary ailments that
befall man, and, by hard study and
plenty of practice for experiments,

as ever came out of mans mouth,
while he rubbed the spot where the
managers knee had been placed during
the operation. To be sure the Mexican
uttered Few words OF protest when
the forceps closed about his tooth. !
this was to be expected, but did not, of

The manager was highly elated over
