The actions of the mobs IN
Japan since peace was declared
has not raised the Japanese in
the estimation of the civilized
world. Not satisfied with the eA-
penditure of $l.OOO,OOO,OOO in
treasure and the blood of 100. 900
OF the flower of the empire they
still thirsted for more carnage
Although the Japanese troops
had gained remarkable victories
over the Russians. both on land
aud sea, they had not as yet struck
a blow to any vital part Of Russia
and 1t would have required yesrs
to have penetrated to the heart of
the empire of two continents.
And we're it not for internal strife
japan could never have con.
qnered Russia. Peace therefore,
came ~ a Godsend to both Of the
warning nations and WAS NO hailed

DuNNE MAKES ANOTHER MOVE.
Chicago Mayor Has Three Plans to
Secure Municipal Ownership.

Chicago Mayor Has Three Plans to
Secure Municipal Ownership.
Another ordinance providing for
steps to secure municipal ownership
of the street railways in Chicago was
submitted to the city council Mon
day night by Mayor Dunno. The or
dinanoe was accompanied by mes
sage to the aldermen which gave
three ways in which Mayor Dunno
asserts he will be able to bring
about municipal ownership.
The first plan is by reaching an
agreement with the traction compa-
MES by which their property would
be transferred to the city, at a price
to be decided upon by arbiters. The
second is by condemnation of the
property Of the street railway com
panies under the provisions of the
Mueller act. The third method is the
one which the mayor has already pre-
scented as an alternative to his COR
tract plan. It is for the construction
of municipal street railway lines,
which will parallel the lines Of the
existing companies.

BOOST IN COTTON
Fifteen Cents Per Pound is
Nowtn Stght,
FARMERS uRGE7JTO HOLD
Conditions Point to Maximum Crop Of
only Ten Mill on Bales and Fiji
teen Cents is Logical Price,
Says P resident Jordan.

Fifteen Acent cotton is now the slo-
gan of the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton. fhe recent report Of the United
States. department of agriculture
stro' Agly supports the information
VII .ich the association has gathered
f. ON it's many correspondents
throughout the south, and all Of this
goes to show that the maximum crop
this year will be 100000 bales.
Based on these facts President Har-
vie Jordon Of the cotton association
declares the remainder of the crop
should not be sold for less than Is
cents. This he states will put the en-
tire crop into the hands of the spin
ners at an average price Of u cents:
Presidenz Jordan says:
THE open declaration of Hon. Jas.
Wilson, secretary of agriculture, in
an interview published in the Wash
layton Post on Monday that the re-
cent condition report of 6S.8, publish
ed by his department, is accurate and
trustworthy and which shows that
the years crop will be in the neigh
borhood of only 100000 bales,
should knock out all the high esti-
mate people, and put everybody down
on the working basis of short crop.
ut is gratifying to know that Sec
Rotary Wilson's estimate Of the crop
riom reports made to his department
corresponds so nearly with that Of the
Southern Cotton Association. Add tho
linters and city crop to our assocta-
TONS recent estimate Of 9,441,00
bales, anu we nave q crop im the
-neighborhood OF 10,OO0,OpO Score
tary Wilson's estimate forecasts the
department figures for December 3, as
there can he no change for the bet
ter during the next fifteen days
"As we row have the most accu
rate information from the two most
authentic and reliable sources that
this crop will be about 100000
bales, inclusive of short and long sta
PIE. it is unquestionable that the bal
ance Of the crop remaining in the
hands of the planters should not be
marketed for less than Is cents. This
would average the crop to the spin
ners at about IL cents, and that price
is not high, considering the present
abnormally high prices and unprece
dented demand for cotton goods.
II shall, therefore, issue at once a
proclamation to the planters and hold
ers of spot cotton in the south to
stand firm for Is cents and follow
this up with the most active campaign
yet undertaken by the association
throughout the entire cotton belt. MY
recent investigation among the spin
ners' supplies, jobbers' scarcity of cot
ton goods and the now confirmed
shortage Of the crop from all reli-
able and trustworthy sources lead me
to take this action, and l want the
active cooperation of every one in
favor Of higher prices"

SHERIFF SAVES PRISONER.
Atlanta Mob Sought to Lynch Negro
Assallant of White Woman.

Atlanta Mob Sought to Lynch Negro
Assallant of White Woman.
After being identified by Mrs. Geo.
w. Moore of Atlanta as the negro
who had assaulted her, Jim Walker,
brought as a prisoner from Fairburn,
Ca, Thursday morning, came near
being lynched by crowd of angry
citizens. For more than an hour there
was a scene Of the most intense ex-
oitement On the Peachtree road, be-
tween the Moore home at Brookwood,
and the spot where preparations were
made to hang the negro.
The rude gallows had been erected,
the knot had been tied, the moose
placed on the Negroes neck and the
other end of the rope thrown over the
cross beam of the gallows when Sher-
if helms appeared on the scene with
a deputy and three county police
men.
Amid crowd that seemed bent on
taking the law into their own hands,
while pistol shots were fired and
cries of 'cKill him." Shoot him,
Lynch him" rent the air, the sheriff
and his small posse rescued the pris.
oner, threw him into an automobile
and made all speed to the city and
to the Atlanta tower, where the ne
gro was placed in a cell.
George Moore, the husband of tho
Negroes victim, counselled forbearance
on the part of the citizens, and his
sons later made the same plea for
the law to take its course, as they had
previously promised the sheriff that
the prisoner would not be harmed.

LAWYERS NOT NEEDED.
Plea Of Guilty Brings Trial Of Negro
RaVlsher 10 Quick Termination In
Atlanta Criminal Court,


at Atlanta Monday morning, Jim
Walker. alias VIII Brice, the negro
who assaulted Mrs. Alice Moore, at
Brookwood, on Thursday, October rs,
voluntarily pleaded guilty to the
charge, and Judge hoan sentenced
him to be hanged on the morning
OF December 5, next,
The plea of guilty came as sur
prise to all except the counsel repre-
senting the negro,
Zach of the counsel for the de-
PENDANT made a statement, in which
the story was told of the negro's
confession and his determination TO
plead guilty. To this was added the
further statement that counsel did not
think it their duty to go into a trial
ana make the good woman, who was
the victim of the negro's crime, hui
initiate herself by telling the story
il court.
The scene was one OF the most dra-
matte ever witnessed in the criminal
courts of Atlanta.
Through it all the woman who had
been the victim of the crime sat on
the opposite side of a table from
her assailant and near her side sat
the white-haired man and husband
whose home had been desecrated and
who had been law abiding enough to
help save the criminal from the hands
of a mob.
Judge William R. Hammond, Judge
Howard Van Epps, and Judge George
Hillyer, who represented the negro
upon appointment by the court, told
how the negro had confessed and in
sisted upon pleading guilty. They
spoke Of now they agreed to pay all
the expenses of getting evidence and
bringing witnesses to the state for
the accused; they told how they had
done their full duty by their client,
and how at last, they had decided that
trial was not necessary. Then they
pleaded for as much time as possible
to allow the negro to prepare his soul
to meet its God when he made his
last plea at the higher tribunal Of
the finas judgment Last Of ali came
a plea from Judge Hillyer asking
that there be no private vengeance,
and that when the law was executed
the law alone be permitted to take
such vengeance as the crime merited.
In this he had reference to prom
Use made by Sheriff helms that the
husband of the negro's victim should
spring the trap at the execution.
Judge Roam spoke to the negro af-
ter the plea Of guilty, and asked him
if he had anything further to say.
The prisoner merely shook his head
and replied: Nothing"
Judge Roam spoke of the terrible
crime, and stated that the attorneys
for the defense had done all within
their power to save the defendant
if he had been innocent. Later, when
he pronounced the sentence of death,
Judge Roam paid tribute to Sheriff
helms and his officers, who had saved
Walker from the hands of the mob.

right time, plans to hold a southern

an appreciation Of the magnificent op.
portunity which such an exposition
will present
