EACH BALE TAXED
Cotton Association Plans to
Raise Campaign Fund.
CONVENTION A SUCCESS
important Work in Interest of Grow
ers of the South Mapped Out at
Convention Sessions In
Asheville.

The first annual convention of the
Southern Cotton convention closed at
Asheyille, N. c., Friday night, with
a banquet rendered to the executive
committee by Kenilworth Inn.
1t is proposed to raise 100000
for the national association and $780,
900 each for the state and county as
t,ciations by the 3 cent tax on each
bale of cotton, and such tax will be
levied.
The afternoon and night sessions
Friday were confined chiefly to the
passing of various resolutions, chief
of which was one looking to a raise
in membership dues fqrom 25 cents
to 81 a year.
Colonel J. McMartin's resolution
recommended that greater publicity
be given to article 1, section 1, OF
the constitution, which calls atten-
ton to the fact that the Southern
Cotton convention is an organization
composed not only of growers, but
of manufacturers and farmers, which
was adopted. Mr. McMartin further
states that the chief object of tie
organization is ''the industrial deyel-
opment and supremacy of the cotton
states,'' and to this end the govern
ment s,,ould be argued to build bet
ter southern harbors.
An important feature of the closing
session was the adoption Of mo-
tion made by E D. Smith OF South
Carolina to the effect that all mem
bers of the association be urged to
market their cotton, even at the min
imum price, as slowly as possible, so
as to distribute the sale of the sta
pie over the entire year instead of
marketing the crop in ninety days
as has been the custom. In this way
the highest prices possible above the
minimum could be secured.
After some discussion at the night
session as to the next meeting place
OF the associations executive commit
tee, Hot Springs, Ark, was chosen.
This was effected by a compromise
made between the advocates of Ashe-
vile and Hot. Springs, by the terms
of which the winter meeting con-
venes at the latter place, while Ashe-
vile gets the summer meeting.
The matter of Vice President Pc
ters' resignation was again touched
upon, and although the discussion was
concluded in secret session, it is un-
derstood rat Mr. Peters will "yolun-
tarily re. IN a few days, and his
successor named by Presi-
oeA's Iors MISE h4nds~tf4e as
reported at the association will
probably deliver an address to the
American people. It will deal princi-
pally with existing conditions in the
textile world. The passing of resolu-
tions of thanks to the people of Ashe-
vile, the local and national press and
the local authorities of Kenilworth
closed the convention.

BLOWN TO ATOMS
Many Men are MangIed in
frightfuI Explosion.
POWDER MILLS WRECKED
Thirty Employees Literally Torn to
Fragments in Catastrcphe-Ten
Buildings Razed and Other
Property Damaged.

TIE Rand Powder Mills in the sub
urbs Of Fairchance, six miles south
of Uniontown, Pa. were entirely wip-
ed out by an explosion at 9:05
o'clock Saturday morning.
Of the thirty-two men who went to
work in the mill in the morning, nine
teen are known to he dead. Of these
thirteen have been identified. Nine
men, including c. NJ. Rand, manager
Of the plant, were seriously injured.
The shock Of the explosion was dis
tinctly felt in Connellsyille, 20 miles
away, build ngs being rocked on their
foundations. At Un!ontown hundreds
of panes of glasses were broken. In
the town Of Fairchance there is
scarcely a house that did not suffer
damage. The sides were battered
as though axes had been used. Hay
sticks were topplei over in the fields,
and live stock were stunned.
A passenger train on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, northbound, from
Morgantown to Connellsyille, which
was passing tie works when the first
explosion occurred,was almost thrown
from the track by the explosion. All
the windows were shattered, and the
passengers thrown into a panic. Had
the train been a few seconds later it
would have been blown up, as the
mills were in a few rods of the
tracks.
A street car on the West Pennsyl-
vania railroad had also passed just
few seconds before the explosion and
was far enough away to escape dam
ge, though it was derailed. There
were seven explosions in all.
Every one of the ten buildings was
totally demolished. Not vestige of
them remain The debris that vas
strewn over the 10 acres of ground
where the plant was located, took fire
soon after the explosion, ani added
its terrors TO the disaster.
The dismembered parts Of the dead
were burned in many instances. Iden-
tification of many uas made by parts
of clothing alone. The first three ex-
plosions were not as serious as the
last four. Then the packing house,
pressing room and magazine blew up,
followed by two cars Of dynamite
standing on nearby railroad siding,
which were set off by the concussion
from the powder mill explosions.
Identification Difficult.
When the bodies were recovered
the Wor,x .af ide->LilG,--if DcuteS were
picked up al over the place. These
were not collected together, and many
sections of bodies were thrown back
into the debris, where they were
found.
The hole where the magazine ex-
rloded in about Is feet deep and so
yards square.

SOLDIERS ARE IUBlLANT.
Russ and Jap Armies In Manchuria
Notified That War Is Ended and
Give Vent to Greet joy.

A special from GodzaIAni, Manchu.
ria, says: At / O'Clock Saturday aft
ernoon a Japanese commissioner bear
ing a white flag and escorted by nifty
soldiers arrived at post near the
railway and handed to the Russian
officers, who went to meet him, let
ter from Field Marshal Oyama, to
General Linevitch, congratulating him
on the conclusion of peace, and beg
ging him to appoint Russian plenipo-
tentiaries 10 arrange an armistice.
Field Marshal Oyama appointed Gen
eral Tukushima as plenipotentiary for
his side, the letter announced, and
he suggested Chakhedza as the meet
ing place.
Since news was received that peace
negotiations at Portsmouth were ap-
preaching a conclusion, the correspon-
dent of the Associated Press has made
survey of all the Russian positions
from Mongolia headquarters, the OBJ
ject in part being to ascertain the ex-
tent to which the efforts making for
peace were viewed by the army.
The negotiations received no Off
cial recognition in the field prior to
their successful conclusion, the army
keeping in a state of preparedness
for battle until the receipt by Gen.
eral Linevitch of a telegram from
Emperor Nicholas, declaring that the
treaty had teen. signed, and that his
majesty accepted the condition arriv-
ed at.
This telegram was officially pub
lished in the army newspaper at Gun
shu Pass, Manchuria, On September g.,
and the outlines of the peace condi-
tions were printed in the same publi-
cation Saturday.
The officers thereafter Observed mil.
ftary decorum in the strictest sense,
but the soldiers, with the consent Of
the officers, engaged in feastihg and
other forms CT celebration. 1t will be
a week more before the entire army
is fully informed Of the conclusion of
peace, but the news was discounted
long ago by the prevailing conviction
that since the appointment OF the
plenipotertiaries peace was fore
gone conclusion. 1t may be said that
to the great majority of the officers
and men so far informed the news
that the war is at an end s is most
welcome.
Thousands are daily drinking 10 the
health of President Roosevelt The
spondent, who is the only re-
naming foreign newspaper man with
the Russian army, was everywhere
asked by the men if he was an Amer
lean, and on being answered in the
Affirmative, they captured him and
tossed him many times in the air af-
ter the manner of the Cossacks, while
their officers gently protested against
this seeming questionable manner OF
their admiration.

Aeeie+--st-- .--errcryps machine . Ssst-
At Oyster Bay Sunday, President
Roosevelt made public the report of
the Keep commission on its recent in
vestigation of affairs in the govern
ment priting Office at Washington.
The inquiry was made by special
direction of the president, on account
of protest which he had received
from officials of the Mergenthaler
Typesetting Machine company against
the award of contract by Public
Printer Frank w. Palmer to the Ian
ston Monotype company for seventy
two machines of its make.
The president decided, after an ex-
animation of the Keep report, that the
contract for the Lanston machines
should stand. The Keep commission
reported that if the contract could be
set aside, "such a course would be
desirable" although the commission
states expressly that mo corrupt con-
slderation, payment or promise pass
ed from the Lanston Monotype COM
pany to the public printer or to any
Terson in the government service"
1t was developed by the commits
sion, however, that two important as.
sistants of the public printer were in
directly interested in the Lanston
company, their wives being stock
holders therein"
