Mrs. Clarence Markham of Cambridge
ILL.,, Survives Long Enough to Make
an Awful Confession.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Special.-Mrs.
Clarence Markham of Cambridge,
near here, in fit of temporary in
sanity killed her seven children with
an axe, after which she placed their
bodies on a bed, saturated it with coal
oil and set fire to it. She then hack
ed her throat with knife and threw
herself on the burning bed. Neigh
bors rescued her. but she was so badly
burned that she died soon after she
had made a confession. The oldest
child was nine years of age, the
youngest, baby in arms.
Neighbors, attracted by the smoke
of the burning building, rushed to
the rescue and found Mrs. Markham
covered with blood and badly burned.
Barely able TO tell her story, she at
first declared the crime had been
committed by strange man, but
later when the sheriff arrived she ad-
mitted that she had slain her children
one by one and attempted to destroy
their bodies and her own in the fire.
Soon afterward she died. When the
ruins of the home had cooled, a con-
firmation of her story was had in the
finding of the charred corpses, each
with its skull crushed.
The Markhams lived apart from
neighbors, the husband being en-
ployed as laborer on nearby farm.
He was compelled to be away from
home during the day. Having noted
his wife acting queerly for several
weeks he had kept the children, the
Oldest of whom was but nine years of
age. out of school to be with the
mother. She was never known to ex-
hibit violent tendencies previously.

GAINED OVER ONE BILLION DOLLARS
How the Cotton Crop in Six Years
Has Increased in Value.

Regarding another source Of South
ern wealth, cotton, and the meaning
to the South of its higher price, the
Baltimore Manufacturers Record
says, under date of Sept 25th:
1.-The total value of the last six
cotton crops, not counting the seed,
has paid to the farmers was just
little over $3,000,000,000, while for
the preceding six years the total, seed
likewise not included, was $1,S00,000,-
600, n difference in the last six years
over the preceding SiX-year period in
favor of Southern farmers of 81 .200,-
100000.
1T is quite uncertain whether dur
ing the six years Of low prices, in
which the crop averaged only $780,
100000 a year, there was not an ac-
tual loss to the producers
if there was no loss, it was simply
swapping dollars without profit-but
during the last six years of higher
prices the Southern farmers have
gotten on their feet financially. They
have received an average of $780,
100000 year for their cotton, and
to this might be added, in round fig
ures, about $50,000,000 year from
the seed. The increase of $1,000,000,-
600 during the last six years over the
preceding six is nearly twice as much
as the entire national banking capital
of the United States, it is more than
the total savings bank deposits of
all New England.
''For the first few years Of this
period the profit on cotton growing
at these better prices was absorbed
in paying up the debts which had
accumulated during the low-priced
period, but, with debts out of the way
and the farmers in good shape, they
have been stimulated into making
many improvements as to better
homes, better farm machinery and
more of the conveniences which add
to the comfort and happiness of life.
1.-The towns and villages and cities
of the South have shared in the pros
perity of the farmers, and added to
the prosperity brought about by the
higher price of cotton, has been the
great increase in the production of
foodstuffs- and meats, fruits
and vegetables-Gnd n vast expansion
in railroad and industrial interests.
1t is no wonder, in view of these
facts, that as recently pointed out in
the Manufacturers Record, the as
sessed value of Southern property is
now increasing at the rate of $780,
100000 a year, while the true value
of Southern property is probably in
creasing at more than double that -
