TILLMANS SPEECH.
Tho n wspsp,r Mcn Are Glad He

Went for Roosevelt.
A dispatch from Washington to
The Charleston Posi- says never In the
history Of legislation has anything
stirred the people to such q high
pitch OF expectation and astonishment
as the spec ch Of Senator Tillman. The
speech came as such q surprise that
the people are dumfounded and amazed
that he had courage to handle Roose-
velt as he did.
General sentiment is divided, some
holding the opinion that the President
should not have been made the sub
ject Of such bitt.r attack. o hers
hold the opinion that he failed in his
duty In not ordering an immediate In.
vestigation concerning the Morris case
and that by so doing 1t bscame n6c S
sary for some one to take action.
The speech has developed the fact
that outside OF SENATOR Hale and
Lodge the President has weak back-
ing la the Senate and that he bas lost
weight on account OF his attitude in
making himself Of too much impor
tance in public matters generally OF
late.
The speech also shows that outside
Of Hale and Lodge, the President has
few strong friends In the Senate tC
hep him out In an EN- rgenoy. News
paper men are with Tillman and BAY
that he has made them all his friends
on account OF the stand taken fol
them In the press censorship matter.
The resolution by Tillman to inves
tigate the Morris case, just introduc
ed, was v ted down on mothion o
Daniel OF Virginia.

Baton Rouge, LII, Dec. 2.-The
Louisiana Railway and Navigation
Company will not he able to begin
operation of its trains over the road
between this city and New Orleans
as was anticipated and announced,
but the officials now believe that
they will be able to have traffic NOV
Ing over the entire line between New
Orleans and Shreveport by the mid
die of December.
The officials point out that there is
nothing positive about this date, as
the weather conditions will enter
largely into the time when the traffic
on through schedules il begun, but
they believe with fair weather they
will have things moving by the date
now set.
1t would have been impossible for
the road to begin through traffic to-
day, even though the line would
have been I'm shape to permit this
traffic. for the reason that the trans
fer boat Edenborn has been pressed
into service and is now carrying
5000 bales of cotton from Angola to
New Orleans.
The transfer boat and the barges
will have to be brought back to An

Circuit Judgeship Discussed.
[winnfeld Sentinel. Nov. SOL


An imprOmptu meeting was got ten
up at the court house Monday night
to hear Judge X. Il. Dawkins. Major
VIII A. Strong was requested to call
the meeting to order and to intro
duce Judge Dawkins The Judge
made a very able presentation Of his
claims and aspirations, and his re-
marks were well received by the au-
dience. which was more than an av-
erage sized one for such occasions.
After Judge Dawkins' speech. Mes
srs. Barksdale and Hawt thorn were
called upon rs the friends and advO-
Gates Of Judge Dawkins' candidacy,
and each made IA strong address in
favor Of the Judge, at the same time
testifying to. the ability and worth
of his opponent, Hon. l.. X. Wat
kins.
In discussing the merits of the two
candidates, "A number of the gentle
men who heard the speeches express
ed themselves rs being pleased with
Judge Dawkins' speech, but consid-
ering that he Is already Judge of
district. where he sought the Office.
and tacItly agreed with the consti-
tuency that should he be elected for
four years he would serve them; and
should he be elected to the circuit
bench, 1t would necessitate the cleo
tioE Of a district Judge to fill his I'M
expired term; and we have had, this

the election of the incumbent District
Judges. is the length of time it will
take after their designations, should
they be elected to- the Court of Ap-
peals, before a Judge can be elected
and qualified. A case in point is
that of Judge Favrot of the 22d dis
trict. The wheels of justice in that
district will have to stand still for
at least three months. Another view
taken is that each of these judges have
cases of their own In which appeals
have been taken. In each OF these
cases they would have to recuse them
selves. These are arguments made
by men who have studied the
question.
Meetings are to lie held this winter
in the boil weevil sections of the
State to discuss both the advanced
methods for planting of cotton, in
order that the boil weevil may be
successfully fought, and to discuss
the raising of truck for market. One
of the fret meetings is scheduled to

). The weevil did Il great deal of
damage in Sabine last year to the
cotton crops that were not planted
and cultivated by the proper meth
DDS. Those who applied the proper
methods and derived'gOod crops are
going to relate their experience at
the meeting. The question of more
extensive development of the truck
growing industry is to be discussed,
Similar meetings are to he held at
other points, and discussions are to
he had along these lines.

MORESPECULAT|0N
Was Manifesto in the Stock Market
Yesterday-Close of Day Sees
Decrease in Pressure.

| New York, Oct. 2G.-Considerable
Speculation liquidation occurred in the
stock market today although the latter
part Of the session was marked by a
decearse of pressure and substantial
recoyeries to the highest prices of the
day. The early rise was not attributed
especially to London but recovery set
IN. Attention was paid TO the London
for conclusion of the periodical settle
ment there which occurred today, AMI
which carries over the stock market
accounts for another two weeks. The
fears on the financial trouble in con
nection with the conclusion of settle
ment proved unfounded. Recovery in
this market was partly due to relief
over this news. The mornings fall
in prices did not become precipitate
but was impressive for the steady
stream of selling orders and apparent
lack of any supporting measures. Sell
ing had the advantage of considerable
advance In prices at the opening to
start from and the recovery made net
gains for the day On the decline
prices in many portions of the list fell
through levels touched in the disorder
ly break Of last Saturday, thus confirm
ing the common assumption Of the ten
dency of prices TO sag slowly after a
first recovery from the sharp break
until the low level is touched again
The interior has evidently drawn heav-
lily on New York by express movement
