this morning when the facts Of this
strange case Nas learned by tho out
side world and even then Miss Green
was not entirely herself II was
o'clock before the story could be Sc
cured Miss Green says that when
Mr.. Highsmith handed her the med
icine she placed it on the front
hall rack, went to the dining room TO
get a drink of water and then came
back anG started to her room 10 do
some writing. She SAYS that while
she was in the dining room she
thought she heard noise in the front
part of the house. but she saw no
indications, or any one when she came
back She started to get the bottle.
but it Wsrs not on the rack where she
had placed il and then she started to
her room, ON the steps. so she says.
she was grabbed b. some man who
held her firmly and told her that he
would K iii her If there was an outcry.
She could not see his face. That was
all she remembers
She was on the stairway when her
mother came in and a physician was
hastily sum moned. What the native
was for chioroforming the young lady
has not Vet been learned There was
no robbery II is probable that the
intruder was frightened away and
thus failed to accomplish his purpose,

Speaking about braZen robbery:
spot cotton declined 80 points, or
S166 2 bale in New York on Monday
or about tWenty-one and u half mil
lion dollars on crop of 100000
bales.
What was the reason given?
Because the equinoctuai storm did
not do much damage! That comes
pretty near being the limit of au-
dacity.
According to the logic of this ex-
cuse, for the two weeks preceding the
autumnal equinox, the price or cotton
should have advanced, in anticipation
of the dreaded storm. But instead OF
advancing, the spectators steadily and
consistently depressed cotton during
that period They forced down the
market price about $3.50 a bale

RATE LAW APPEAL
Papers Sent up in the
Case of Wood
Sheriff Hunter OF Buncombc is Appel
ant. Representing the State-Iudec
Pritcliard's Decision Claimed
10 BE Erroneous.

Washington. y. G., Sept 2s-rhe
pa pers in the appeal Of Sheriff Thomas
F Hunter, OF Buncombe county. North
Carolina, against James II Wood. the
agent of the Southern Railroad Com
pany, who was found guilty by a
state court in Buncombe county If
violating the North Carolina Railroad
rate law. reached the Supreme court
of the United States today. Mr. Wood
was indicted and sentenced TO thirty
days imprisonment when Judge Prtt-
chard Of the United states Circuit
court, intervened in his behalf and dis
charged him on "A writ Of habeas cor
pus on the ground that the rate law
was unconstitutional. The proceeding
as il comes to the Suprem me Court is
in the nature OF an appeal ~ the
state, although il Is in Hunters name
as he was in charge Of Wood "a the
executive oficer OF the county IN
which he was tried.
In his petition for an appeal Hun
ter contends that Judge Pritchard >
decision was erroneous in that he as
sumed jurisdiction and admitted teati-
mony TO which exception was taken
II also is declared that Judge Pritch-
ard was out Of order in holding the
law to be unconstitutional and IN as
suming that because he had taken
cognizance OF the rate law In a prev
ious case he had control Of all llti-
CATION under the law.

That method is little better than
highway robbery; the only differenc"
is that the farmers have not got to
stand and deliver. If all of them Will
have the nerve - quietly sit and wait
for 20 days they Will sec cotton climb
back about IS a bale.
But to accomplish that great result
the growers must stand together, from
one end Of the cotton belt to The 9TH
er And merchants and bankers. ard
business men generally, should dis
suade the small farmer from turning
loose his little crop; and, if possible,
help him to hold it for a short while
Every bale marketed now weak ems
the South This is the crucial test.
the next few weeks will determine
whether the gambler or the grower
shall win.

RECLAINIING TIDE LANDS.
Dyldng Systems Along the Sound
Are Now i'm Use.

Are Now i'm Use.
Since the opening of the La Conner
flats, dyke lands for farming pur-
poses are coming to be recognized
for their real worth, says an Everett,
Wash, paper This is shown by the
private and municipal work that is
being done along the sound to open
up these new fields for cultivation
Lately the shore lands west of Mt.
Vernon have been opened and are
producing fine crops. During the past
week 149 acres have been plated
along the Snohomish river inside the
city limits of Everett.
Recognizing the value of this kind
of land, the county has undertaken
the construction of the dyke, thus
reclaiming 5000 acres of alluvial de-
post lands for farming.
Mr.. Erskine states that most of
the reclaimed land has been plated
eff into acre tracts for the present,
though the ultimate intention is to
lay 1t all off in city lots. for factory
purposes. Speaking of the richness of
this soil and that of all of these dyked
lands, says the Everett paper. the
richness of all these dyked lands are
on a par with the La Conner flats.
The Mt. Vernon lands are now produc-
ing so to 80 bushels of oats to the
acre, and we believe that the Everett
tyke lands Will do as well.

treasurer's behavior. The judge per-
formed another ceremony last even
ing and it was then that he got
"his'n," according to the rumor in
circulation agout the court house. The
story of the occurrence as told by
Treasurer Bradley is about as fol-
lows.
THE judge had just finished mar
rying the couple and started to kiss
the bride, when the groom placed his
hand between them and told him to
wait until he had kissed her himself"
That the story is true at least in
part, is admitted by the county judge,
but he declares the facts have been
distorted by his office neighbor, whom
he says has been disgraced himself
and now seeks to pull a good man
down.

the opening today and the program
included addresses of welcome by
Mayor Harris and others, with a re-
sponse by C. S. Barrett of Georgia,
president of the Farmers National
union.
Many prominent speakers are to be
heard during the week, including
leaders from Georgia, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi, Oklahoma and other states.
The discussions also will be of great
interest and importance to the farm
ers. Perhaps the matter of first in
terest will be the devising and per-
fecting of a warehouse system. AL
ready the union has 800 warehouses
in Texas with Houston as the radiat-
ing point. Other warehouses will be
planned, and closer relationship es-
tablished among those now in exis-
tence.

JUDGE GILLILAND ALSO
Met His Waterloo at Wedding ir

At the court house today the prin-

couple of weddings which Judge
Gilliland performed yesterday, one Of
which was attended by County Treas
urer G. w. Bradley. The ceremony
was performed in the judges office
and at the conclusion the treasurer
entered the room. Taking in the
situation he regarded 1t as his duty
to kiss the bride and at once took
steps in that direction. However, his
gallantry was not appreciated and
many apologies were made by the
genial moneykeeper before he could
make matters right.
Today Judge Gilliland himself has
been the victim of much gossip be-
cause Of alleged imitation of the

FITZGERALD WINS.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov l6.-Willie Fitz-
with Eddie Chambers at the Industrial
Athletic Club last night. 1t is very likely
that the foul blows delivered by Fltz-
gerald I'm the first round and again in the
third weakened Chambers so much that
he was not able to do himself justice later
on, for when he was in good shape he
seemed to have no trouble in hitting Fitz
almost as he pleased. He jabbed Willie
time and again in the face with his left
hand and also landed numerous punches
on Fitzgeralds head with his right. But
his blows, except occasionally, did not
have the power back of them that Fitz-
gerald sent over, and he could never seri-
ousy hurt the eX-Broolslyn boy. Fitz-
gerald beat Chambers pretty severely
about the body, and also got in some dam
aging punches on Chambers's face and
head with his right hand. He had
Chambers bleeding In the ifth round, and
again brought the claret in me last round
Chambers went tired In the fifth. although
he made a good rally in The last half of
the round and rushed Fitzgerald to the
ropes twice. Chambers was slow in get
ting off in the last round, and Fitz wal
loped him good several times. Eddie ogain
made Il rally and rushed Willie to the
ropes, but there was little force with
Chamberss blows, and he did not infiict
any punishment on Fitzgerald.
