M oman Shoots and Kills a
Man in Atlanta.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 16.-Bsi-
lift John q. Dodgen was found
dead early this morning with
bullet hole in the back of his
head, on the landing of Mar
rietta street lodging house.
Mrs. Willie Stamper, who
runs the house, admits killing
him, but alleges that he tried to
break in the door and that she
shot him through the closed door
when he persisted in his efforts
to enter. The police authorities
however, are OF the opinion that
the man was killed in the house
and his body was thrown out.

give enough milk to push the
colt as fast as it ought to be push
ed. The colt usually does well
enough for the first month. BY
the time it is two months old it
is twice as heavy as it was when
it came, and has no more and
perhaps less milk than at first.
Hence, if you are going to push
it forward, you must give it ad

Labor in Chesterfield.
Largest Farmer in the Coun-
ty Tired of Negroes---1s
going to Try White I'M
migrants.

Cheraw special in the News
and Courier "In conversation
with the News and Courier's cor
respondent a few days ago Mr..
James A. Watson, Chesterfield
county's largest planter, and a
most prominent citizen, announ
ced that he hoped to get several
families of immigrants from the
next shipload that arrives at
Charleston early in January. In
discussing the labor situation
Mr.. Watson said:
81 will no longer be devilled
with negro labor as have seen
this year. There are several fam
lilies OF negroes on my place that
may remain. They have been
with me several years aud are
all right, or, at least, are as good
as any negro labor one can get.
But the floating negro farm
hands are worse than useless and
| am tempted to say | would
quit farming altogether rather
than be bothered with them.
IL understand that the white
immigrant labor will require
moie money for their labor than
the negro, but | am satisfied
they are worth the increased
pay. l expect to be in Charles
ton when the next shipload of
foreigners comes in and hope to
bring back number of families
and put them to work raising
cotton and corn.
Mr.. Watson produces about
SIX hundred bales OF cotton each
year. His land is just slightly
rolling and is easily titled. He
has several thousand acres jus,
above Cheraw and could easily
take care of twenty or thirty
families of the German or Bel
gian farm laborers.
There has been more dissatis
faction this season with the ne
gro labor than ever before. Sew
eral large planters have express
ed themselves much as has Mr.
Watson, and before another croI
is planted Chesterfield county
may have number of foreign
laborers.

The Cotton Situation
Reason why Farmers Should
not Become Frightened
and Sell on a Declining
Market.
From Manufacturers Record.

From Manufacturers Record.
Even if the cotton crop should
prove to be as large al the Gov
ernment's estimate of IL, 2,500,,
900 bales, there need be no fear
on the part of the South of the
worlds ability to absorb it to a
good price. 1t would be a dis
aster based on a failure to com
prehend the worlds cotton situa.
tion if the South, frightened by
this large yield, should under
take to sell its cotton on a de.
clining market. In the first
place, very large amount of
Southern, cotton has been serious.
ly damaged in quality. This,
unfortunately, by virtue Of the
provisions of contract sales, can
be used for deliveries in New
York market and in this way
used to depress the price of cot
ton. But real cotton suitable
for the needs Of the spinners is
none too plentiful. 1t is quite
safe to say that the world could
absorb every bale of good cotton
that the South has this year pro.
duced at very considerable ad.
vance over present prices, 10 the

cotton world at large. 1T is a
mistaken idea for the spinner o
undertake to "bear" the price OF
cotton. In the long run this is
more disastrous to his interests
than to anyone else's. With the
rapid expansion in the worlds
consumptive requirements, with
many mills sold ahead for 6 to
ID months, with consumption OF
cotton fully equal to the total
production of good cotton, and
in all probability considerably
in excess of it, there is no reason
why the South should be fright
ened at II, 100000 bales. The
world needs that much, and
needs it badly. The cotton mills
in this country and abroad are
having a phenomenally active
trade at exec ceedingly profitable
prices, and though they might
from a narrow, selfish point OF
view desire 10 see the raw cot

dinner at the Hotel Cecil in London
as though they had been in New York
or Chicago. At this cosmopolitan feast
an archdeacon of the Church of Eng
land proposed toast to the ladies. It
was responded to by Miss Genevieve
Ward, the well known actress. The
very thought of an actress responding
to a toast proposed by deacon would
make the Puritan founders of Thanks
giving turn over in their graves.
Ambassador Hay spoke in his hap
piest vein. In making out list Of rea-
sons for gratitude, he mentioned this:
We are thankful that we speak Eng
lish, or. II our friends on this side of the
ocean think that is Boosting, that we
talk United States which answers equal
~ well for telling the truth.
A tribute was paid to the spirit of the
day, likewise to the turkey:
Some of our peculiar institutions, thank
heaven. we have lost. The worst passed
sway in the tempest of the war II caused.
but thIs. the most nnquestionably pecuI-
lar OF ALL We can trust to abide with us
forever. This is one of the few things
we can do that offends nobody. threatens
no one and completes with no one. There
can never be too much gratitude In the
world. Seventy millions OF voices prais-
ing God together would not Justify the
addition of one ironclad to any navy on
earth.
Mr.. Hay paid an eloquent tribute to
"the unknown, nameless artist who In
the days of early New England first
brought to perfection the pumpkin
n,e,' and lndorsed Benjamin Franklin's
suggestion that the turkey be the ma
tionaI emblem instead of the eagle.
Swbo with aristocratic profile, loud
voice and predatory disposition hardly
,ommends himself as the emblem OF
modest. industrious and conscientious
democracy. while the turkey, Ike a
true altruist, exists only for the good
