Farmers Can Control if They Can
Stick To ~ether.
Waxhaw Enterprise,

W tl-NItfAW IIttNNI UI IoC'
Our correspondent, MARVIN" has
the correct view of the matter TINS
week when he says that farmers can
no more afford TO sell cotton for less
money than it costs to produce 1t IMAM
merchants can afford to sell goods pc
low cost. Neither can they afford 20
sell at cost. There must be rpoht.
The farmers must control the situa-
ton, or failure is sure TO follow. TheS
can control it if they viii only organlzs'
and stick together. 1t would be much
better for them if not bale OF COTTON
were made in the South this year than
to raise cotton ut anything ike pres
ent prices.

BRUINS SAD FATE.

Elsewhere we print a cartoon from
the Atlanta Constitution showing
"short" bear begging aims of
farmer who had refused to sell his
cotton at the present price and OBJ
tanned advances on it. 1t is an eye
opener.
Yesterdays Constitution had another
good cartoon representing The Old
Bee Tree in which is plenty of cent
cotton. A Bear is in the act Of climb
ing the tree when he is caught III
steel trap named Farmers Holding
Movement" A farmer is running to-
ward the bear, with his gun in his
hand. Here is the story under the
picture;
Bruins sad Fate.
Just as we thought!
The cotton Bear Is Squealing, more
like the proverbial Porker caught un-
der a gate than big, fear-inspiring,
growing Bear.
And the Bear is caught in something
that much resembles Steel-Trap. The
something, in this instance, is the cot
ton growers great Holding Movement.
1t holds like Bear Trap!
Bcu]n was ABOUT 10 CbthD TIC cio
Bee-Tree where he got such a goodly
store of Honey in the latter ninetieS
in the shape of F'ive-Cent Cotton.
Already, in anticipation of the Feast
in store for him, he was Smacking
his Chops.
So intent was Bruin on his glutton-
Gus object that he neglected TO take
the precaution to look around the
tree for Danger Signs.
While in the very Act of Ascending,
he Stepped on Something.
Bruin has Postponed the Climbing
of the old Bee-Tree.
He cannot Extricate the Paw that
was about to drip with rich, mellow,
Saccharine Honey from the Gnawing
Grip of that Steel-Trap.

By and by the Farmer will Come
and Kill Him.

ATN0NE WOOD is FREE
is PARoLED AND STARTS EAST
Noted Boy Murderer Will Be Given a
Chance With Ebert Hubbard at
the Roycroft Shops.

Denver, Colo, Sept 13-A Canon
City special TO the Republican yester-
day, says:
"Antone Wood, known as the boy
murderer, whose case has attracted
wide attention since his conviction
years ago to-day passed out through
the prison gates from the prison within
which he had been confined over
twelve years, and since he was eleven
years of age. In company with Will
lard Cleghorn, son of Warden Clag-
horn, and James C. Peabody, son of
former Governor Peabody, he will go
to East Aurora, New York, where he
will enter the Roycrofter's establish
ment under an assumed name with
the avowed purpose of beginning life
anew and making of himself an honor
able citizen under the direction of Gl
bert Hubbard.
Woods conduct as prisoner was
generally good and he was allowed lib
critics such as few prisoners enjoyed.
Once during his Imprisonment Wood
committed an offense by which he for
feited the sympathy of large num-
Der of the citizens of Canon City. Dur
ing Warden Hoyt's administration a
break for liberty was made in the pen
itentiary and in which several prison
ers, Wood among the number, made
their escape, Night Captain Rooney
losing his life.
1t was said that Wood held the arms
of Rooney while companions stabbed
him to death. One of the men who
killed the night captain was captured
and lynched by enrageu citizens in
front OF the prison gates. Wood was
recaptured and smuggled into the peni-
tentiary under load of hay to avoid
lynching.
Wood, however, redeemed himself to
considerable extent during the out
break about two years ago when five
prisoners seized the wardens wife, dy-
namited the gates and doors and es-
capped. All We're either recaptured or
Killed shortly afterwards. 1t was on
this occasion that Wood, at the peril of
his life, gave the alarm in the prison
office and thereby perhaps saved the
lives of several of the prison officials
and also made possible the prompt cap
ture or killing of the desperadoes who
made the break
Wood, during his prison career,
showed remarkable talent as an artist,
penman and musician, and it is
these qualities that attracted the atten-
tion of persons of influence who, from
time to time, tried to secure his re
lease. Personally, Wood is a young
man of handsome appearance and
pleasant address, and today, attired
in neat black suit no stranger would
suspect that twelve years of his life
had been spent as a convict. The unex-
pired term of his sentence is about two
years.
The crime for which Wood was con
Victed was the murder of a man, his
companion and friend, while the two
were hunting The victim exhibited a
watch which aroused the boys cupidity
and the latter Jtepping behind the man,
shot him dead.

last night says: The second days ses-
Ion of the State Federation of Labor
convened yesterday morning at 9:15
with President j. c. Sullivan in the
chair. Secretary Harry Waters read
the report of the legislative committee,
dealing at length withe the lobbying
against the anti-boycott bill, defeating
its purpose and making it ineffective.

~r evoked considerable discussion.
Nfessrs. Van Valkenburg of Silverton
and o. II. Taylor of Creede vigorously
opposed the resolution and C. H. Nc
Phee of the carpenters union of Den
YER and Clarence Moorehouse and wife
each made telling plea in its defense,
after which the convention adjourned
until 2 o'clock, when ]. j. Sterling and
T. M. Hyder, the latter an alderman of
Denver, made eloquent arguments in
favor of affiliation.
The question went to vote and the

WORLDS HIGHEST BRIDGE
Formally Opened on the Zambesi River
in Africa,

Victoria Falls, Zambesi River, East
Africa, Sept. 13.-The bridge over the
Zambesi river was formally opened
yesterday in the presence of the visit
ing members of the British AssDcia-
ton. Professor Darwin made the open
ing speech. He commented upon the
remarkable achievement which permit
TED a party travelling in electric salon
cars to visit place which heroic ex-
plorers mad spent months of fruitless
endeaVor to reach. At the conclusion
of his speech Professor Darwin
touched an electric button which fused
wire stretched across the track of
the bridge, and an engine decorated
with union jacks proceeded on an ex-
cursion to Livingstone Island
Ihe bridge over the Zambesi river,
the highest in the world, was linked
up at a. m. April LIST of the present
year, thus completing link in the
Cape-to-Cairo railway. The bridge,
which Is of the cantilever type, is 420
feet above the river at low water and
crosses over the gorge at Victoria
Falls.
The Capeto- Cairo railway is an en-.
deavor initiated by the late Cecil
Rhodes to connect Egypt and South
Africa by line 300 miles long. Frol,
the north the railway has reached
khartoum, distance (allowing for the
river gap between Assouan and Wadv
Halfa) of 1,400 miles.
In the south good progress has been
made north of the Zambesi on the sec
tlon known as the northern extension.
from the Victoria Falls to Kalama, the
administrative center of Barotseland, a
distance of 100 miles. From Kalama
the line is to be continued another $50
miles in northeasterly direction. 1t
is probable that from Tanganyika there
VIII be two lines, one through the
Congo and another through German
territory

Government Printer Removed.

oyster Bay. Sept 9.-Presidcnt
Roosevelt yesterday took summary
action in the case of Frank w.
Palmer public printer and head of the
government printing office at Wash
ington, by removing him from Office
Last Monday the President directed
Palmer to send him his resignation, to
take effect September 18th. At the
same time he directed him not to take
any further action in the cases of Cs-
car J. Ricketts,, foreman of printing,
and l.. c. Hay, a division foreman in
the government printing office, whose
designations Mr.. Palmer had re-
quested.
Mr.. Palmer had given Ricketts, ana
Hay until Tuesday to show cause in
writing why the charges he had made
against them should not be operative
in removing them from their positions,
in the event of their failure to resign.
He was therefore removed from office
by telegraph and directed to turn over
the government printing Office to
Foreman Ricketts,. The latter's ap-
pointment is believed to be tempo
rary. The President has not yet de-
termined whom he may appoint as sue
cessor to Mr.. Palmer.

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. IA new
project in the Alaska railroad world is
shortly to be launched by ]. T. Corn
forth. formerly a Denver mining man
and capitalist, in the Alaska Short
Line railway, which it is proposed to
build from Iliamna, on Cook Inlet, to
Anolk or Yukon. thereby affording
what 1t is claimed will be an all-winter
route for freight and passengers from
Alaska to the outer world.
the proposed line will be $50 miles
In length and its highest elevation, as
shown by preliminary exploration, will
be $50 feet above sea level, crossing
the mountains through the only nat
ural gap which exists. The White
Pass road crosses at an elevation of
$500 feet, and the Alaska Central
1,1OO feet above sea level. 1t is pro-
posed to have the road to the Kuskok-

only region in Alaska which is adapte
to agriculture without preliminary
preparation in the way of removing
surface muck, which 1t is necessary to

Wanted to See Roosevelt.

Oyster Bay, Sept. 1S-Isaac Schamus,
a Russian Jew, twenty years old, was
arrested here late yesterday afternoon
and after an examination by justice
of the peace was sent to Mineola,
Long Island, to be examined as to his
sanity.
The arrest was made by secret ser
vice officer, one of the personal guards
of the President.
- Shamus, who resides in New York
City, arrived here at 1920 p. m. from
New York and soon afterward had an
interview with Mr.. Barnes, assistant
secretary to the President.
He desired to see the President and
talk with him about the price of coal.
He said he was the general coal agent
of Greater New York.
There was imminent danger, in his
opinion, of general strike among the
miners in the Anthracite coal region of
Pennsylvania, and the strike would re
suit in great hardships for the people
of the country.
He wanted ten minutes with the
President to tell him to appoint a COM
mission of three men who would regu-
late the output of the coal supply so as
to provide the poor with fuel at reason
able prices, even in the event of a
strike.

DEAOUNCE MINISTERS
BIG MASS MEETING AT OSAKA
Japanese Cabinet Offers to Resign, but
Mikado Advises Members to
Retain Office.

Toxic, Sept. ia mass meeting at
Osaka passed the following resolution
without hindrance on the part of the
police:
THE peace that has just been con-
cluded between Russia and Japan for
feits the fruits OF victory and sows
seeds of future complications and dan
ger The governments high-handed
and unconstitutional measure has re-
suited in unexpected disturbance to
the peace of the city in which the
Mikado resides. The empires honor
has been soiled and the spirit of the
constitution lost. Never has our coun-
try been brought to face greater dan
ger. Therefore. be it resolved, that we
hope that the humiliating peace agree
ment will be broken and the govern
ment will resign"
In accordance with established
usage, the Cabinet ministers have pre-
sented an official statement to the
mikado explaining the necessity of in
stituting martial law at the capital and
at the same time asking the imperial
judgment as to whether they should
remain in office or retire.
The Emperor's reply, which was
their respective posts.
The special session Of the privy
council to-day lasted four hours. No
bill was presented, only report from
the Cabinet ministers. Premier Kat
sura making an extended statement
of the peace negotiations.
According to the constitution, a
treaty with other powers requires to
be submitted to the council before rati-
tication. 1t is unusual to hold q spe-
cial sitting for simply making a report
on diplomatic affairs before a treaty
assumes a form ready for ratification,
and the sitting to-day, without a spe.
cial bill, was rather unexpected
Opposition political parties have ap.
pointed an extensive committee to
fully report on sufferings alleged to
have been caused by the police dur.
ing the recent rioting. The progres.
sives and their local branches continue
to press resolutions against the gov.
ernment. The Shiba branch condemns
the governments assumption of the
power to suspend newspapers, declar.
ing it to be wholly unconstitutional,
Quiet, however. prevails in Toxic.
