WAS NOT FINED
 BUT REPRIMANDED
Witnesses Disliked to Appear Against Mrs. Gunther i'll Her Recent Case,
 But Were Compelled to Do So.

The recent arraignment of Mrs. Mary Gunther, wife of the East Sixth avene grocer, before Justice l. E. Cheek on a charge of child beating, was not the first time that she has been in court here to an- swer to such complaint of the coun- ty authorities. While Mrs. Gun ther was practically acquitted, she was severely reprimanded by Jus tice Cheek and warned that if she ever repeats the offense she would be fined in the present case and prosecuted in each subsequent of fense. -
 The testimony of all the witness es was to the effect that Mrs. Gun ther treated her adopted children unmercifully. Mrs. C. E. Yowell, Mrs s. Garfield, Garland Stevens, W. Roebuck, Mr. and Mrs. J E. Baker and others testified as to the woman's inhuman treatment of the two little children in her charge. All of the witnesses, especially Mrs. Yowell, disliked any notoriety in the matter and would not have ap- peared against the woman had they not been subpoenaed to appear in court.
 MT. Gunther, husband of the ac- cused woman, stated that Mrs. Vow ell charged his wife with using a board. so many inches wide, so many long and so many thick, on one of the children. Mrs. Yowell did not testify to that but stated that Mrs. Gunther was cruel to the little ones. Mr. and Mrs. Baker al- SD testified to cruelties to which the children had been submitted and Garland Stevens heard screams in the house for thirty minutes, dur ing which time it is said Mrs. Gun ther was thrashing one of the chill dren. One of the witnesses testi- fled that he was compelled> to go into the Gunther home and stop the woman from beating one of the children. Doctor o. c. Hankinson said he believed the woman was ir- responsible for her conduct, owing to illness.

COTTON NEGLECTED
 AND RUINED
Sixteen Bales Once Worth $1,0OO Will Scarcely Bring x25-WarehOuse Plan Will Do Away With
 Loss of This Kind.

In the cotton warehouse Of the J. B. Speers' company here, there are sixteen bales of cotton which have just been received and which have been permitted by the owner to !:e out ill the rain and mud until the cotton is absolutely rotten.
 P. P Byrd stated that had this cotton been shipped and sold when about S1,000. while in it's present con- dition it is scarcely worth $2o. It is thus our great staple is neglected and abused, when it could be stored and kept dry and taken care of for the insignificant sum of g cents per bale When the warehouse system as Association is generally established there will be no occasion for farmer rs to keep their cotton at home exposed ,to the weather. They can store it in the associations warehouses and if the market is below the minimum price for cotton fixed by the associa tion, the farmer can use his warehouse receipt as collateral for any loan which he may need from a bank. and at the same time this cotton will hold off the market until the spinner is compelled to pay the price fixed by the association, instead of the price quoted by the New York Cotton Ex change. If tbe cotton-growers, the merchants and the bankers will ger together, form a cohesive organization and put brains into it, they can easily dictate the price on cotton, as othe. organizations d. on grain, eat, lumber, sugar, coffee, etc.
