LETTEN's PARAMOUR TRIES SUICIDE
Negro Woman Jumped Into Bayou, But

Negro Woman Jumped Into Bayou, But
Was Resuscitated on Barrel.
A New Orleans special says: The
amount of State Tax Clerk Charles E.
Lettens defalcation was fixed Friday
at $4,000.
Two desperate attempts at suicide
were made by Virginia Reed, the ne
gro woman to whom Letten says he
gave the greater part Of the stolen
money.
She jumped into Bayou st. John, a
creek in the city, but was pulled out
by a negro boatman after she had
become unconscious. She was revived
by rolling on barrel. After regaining
consciousness she broke away from
her rescuers, threw herself fat in a
shallow pool and held her head under
water until dragged out.

viii Donate Exhibit to State.


President ]. j. Conner of the State
Agricultural Societxs 81 Georgia and
head of the State Fair Association, has
perfected a plan for novel exhibits to
be located in the state museum at
the capitol. They are to be composed
of articles OF all descriptions and
products Of all kinds, manufactured
in the state of Georgia, He has been
at work getting up this. exhibit for
some time and now states that it is
a sure success. They are to be
shown FIRST at the state fair and after
the fair is over the manufacturers are
going to donate their exhibits to the
state
eve want Georgia for Georgians,
and we want the people to see that
this is not only an agricultural state,
but manufacturing center as well.
It is my PURPOSE to have located here
all sorts of articles made in the state,
especial attention being given to tex
tiles and feedstuffs. Georgia is noted
throughout the United States for her
fine grade of cloths and we propose
to have a sample of each.
"There is another branch of the
great southern staple which will have
our attention. This is the cotton seed
We farmers know. that cotton seed
meal and cotton seed hulks make the
best possible cattle feed We pro
pose to have an exhibit of feedstuffs
with these two playing prominent
parts. Then that other cotton seed
product, cotton seed oil, is to come
in for an exhibit. Cotton seed oil, as
you know, is a good cooking oil, fine
condiment and now it is to be used as
a medicine in cotton seed emulsion.
Every article made in Georgia that
we can secure will have place in
this exhibit If we can get it,

COTTON GRADES ARE REVISED.
New York Exchange is Forced to Change
Its Business METHODS.

New York Exchange is Forced to Change
It's Business Methods.
The regular September meeting of
the revision committee Of the New
York cotton exchange was held after
the close of business Wednesday at
ternoon. Much interest has been ia
ken in the probable action Of the
committee, owing to the big discount
at which local contracts had been
selling as compared with middling
cotton in the open market, and the
trade had anticipated that the action
of the committee would bring the
contract about fifty points nearer par
tty with the middling grade.
The revision announced reduced
premiums on the high grades about
Is points, but gave increased penalties
on the low grades of from about, 20
to 100 points, with the penalties par
ticularly severe on the tinged and
stained cotton

Many of them loudly condemn the
failure Of President FaiHieresi to per
nit the law to take it's course, and
ali Of them agree that the commuta-

passing for over of the, gaillotine from

press the opinion that the escape of

places a premium on crime. n

tirely insufficient to cope with the
situation. He recommended the adop-
ton of corporal punishment for law
breakers as an Offset to comfortable
