CHARGE IS MILD.
Judge Cochran In Meridian Reviews
 Work of the Year.

Meridian, Miss, January 1.-(Special.)- J. The charge of Judge Robert F. Coch- ran this morning at the opening of the January term of the circuit court. lacked the spectacular display of oratory and scathing denunciations that have been characteristic during his term. Instead, 6 note of peace was sounded by the judge, who announced that he would not resign the judgeship, persistent ru- nor had intimated.
 Judge Cochran stated that the first charge he ever made to grand jury In Lauderdale county was just one year ago today. and he reviewed the work that has been accomplished in that time, both in this county and others of his district. He said that Instead of being excessively expensive to the county, the courts were no more than self-sustaining.
 He said that he had been of the opinion, when he took charge of the office of judge, that the enforcement of laws was a humbug and farce, and he believed that a revoluton such as he created, was necessary for the salvation of the district He expressed satisfaction at the result of his crusade and said he hoped that peace would reign throughout his district in the future. He would treat attorneys and people interested in his court with kindness and consideration, and demanded respect for his court.
 The grand Jury was organized with J. r. Mars as the foreman, and retired with the district attorney to begin its work, quite number of cases being on hand to receive attention. No business was transacted beyond the delivery of the charges and the organization of the jury.

PRODUCE MERCHANT LEAVES BESSEMER Alleged to Have Carried on Big
 Business SHIPMENTS WERE LARGE Tennessee and North Alabama Seem to Have Been Principal Losers.
 Other News of
 Bessemer.

Bessemer, January 1.-(Special.) )-hfuch interest has been awakened in Bessemer over the alleged disappearance of J. E. Abbott, of the firm of Abbott & Co.,. pro duce merchants.
 About one month ago a man, represent ing himself as Mr. Abbott called upon Dr. w. D. Taylor and leased for year two stores on Nineteenth street. pr. Tay Tor states that the man claimed he was in the produce business, with headquarters in Nashville, but intended opening a branch house in Bessemer. He claimed it was his intention to buy in such large quantities that he would be in position to supply the markets of Bessemer and Birmingham with poultry and game at a better price than had been prevailing.
 It is said he ordered over $40 worth of attractive stationery from local print ing house. and shortly after he began business, shipments began to roll in It is claimed that in one day he had received almost a carload of goods, nearly all by express. His shipments were so large that the express company had difficulty in making deliveries.
 Thousands of turkeys. quail eggs rab- bits and chickens came in packages of every known description.
 In a remarkably short space of time the business had assumed such large propor- tions, and so much business was done, that the firm received thouands of dol lars.
 This continued up until last Saturday night, when the doors were closed. Upon a search nothing was found, save ship ping notices, advising of large shipments of game, letters asking for remittances, empty boxes and two typewrters. The two typewriters are being held by Dr. Taylor for rent
 It is claimed Abbott had man repre- senting him here, who held remittances which he turned over to the State Bank of Bessemer to cover an overdraft Aside from that no one in Bessemer lost any thing. The losers are all from Tennessee and northern Alabama.
 Abbott is said to be a man about 3S years of age, of commanding and dis tinguished appearance. He was last seen here on Wednesday.
 Two people from Ft. Payne were look ing for him Saturday with claims amount ing to about S190 jointly They returned home without collecting the debt There are many others also who would like to know where their money or produce is.
 Upon inquiry 1t was impossible to lo cate any such firm as Abbott in either Memphis or Nashville.
 Nothing is known in Bessemer about the man or his business. save that he had big business during his stay. which was a little over one month.
