COTTON EXCHANGE
SCORED BY HEFL|N
AIabamian Proposes to Stop Its
Operations
PRICE OF PRODUCT FIXED
Congressman Says That When Subject
of Cotton Speculation Comes Up
He Will Talk About New
York Exchange.
PRICE OF PRODUCT FIXED

Washington, January .-(Special)-Rep-
part of his Christmas holidays on the
New York Stock Exchange.
''That is where" says Mr.. Hefin "they
fix the price of the real product. Every
few minutes the price fixed in the ex
change was telegraphed over the coun-
try and became instruction to all those
who could be influenced by the manipu
lations of the exchange. These men do
not produce own or use cotton. They
offer for sale something they do not pos
sess and of course do not intend to de-
liver. They offer for sale fictitious
stuff and with it reduce the price of real
cotton below a fair and reasonable price;
and they will sell in one season hun
dred million bales. l came away from
the exchange more convinced than ever
that speculation in cotton futures is the
producer today. 1t constitutes policy
of spoilation and robbery the most bare
faced of modern times.
Some time during this session of Con-
gress | am going to discuss speculation
in cotton futures and at that time
will have something to say about the
New York Cotton Exchange. l have in
troduced a bill to prevent speculation in
cotton futures and the speaker of the

SOUTHERN iron
FORGING AHEAD
Twenty-Five Thousand Tons
Sold to Pittsburg Interests
PRICE PAID IS 47 HE TOP
Sale Makes Strong Imp. ession In Pitts
burg as Evidence That Birminq-
has Iron Is a Factor In
Northern Territory.

Pittsburg, January 7.-(Special )-There
was a decided move in pig metal, both
northern and southern buying today,
when the Snyder interests sold a certain
tonnage of Bessemer iron for immediate
delivery at $3.50 and other smaller in
terests also made sales of small caliber
at the same price. The large sale of the
day, however, was 25,000 tons of No.
foundry $3.50 Birmingham, the iron to
be used In northern mills for mixing with
other pig iron so that the best steel may
be made. The price paid for the south
ern iron, $3.50 per ton, is the minimum
price for No. 2 Birming ham. This makes
a total of $1,000 tons of southern iron
which has been ordered for northern mills
within the past few weeks.
The southern iron is really more dear to
place in the northern mills than the same
grade of northern iron at home With
s4.35 per ton freight from Birmingham to
the Pittsburg district southern iron at
$13 so furnace costs s1S35 at Pittsburg,
and No. northern foundry which has
ever been touted here as the better iron,
can be had in Pittsburg at $17. 90 deliv-
ered The sale of today strengthens the
belief, therefore, that southern pig iron
is breaking its way fast into the northern
territory

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Representative Willett criticises Pres
ident Roosevelt Severely.

Washington. January 1.-The usual reso-
lutions referring the Presidents annual
message to the regular committee, fur
nshed the occasion in the House today
for a number of addresses, mostly by
members on the democratic side. These
covered a variety of subjects but those
that attracted especial attention were
by Representative Sheppard of Texas and
Representative Willet of New York The
former not only made plea for the
restoration of the words I'm God We
Trust on American coins, but dis
cussca the cruise of the American battle
shiI.z md referred to the possible conflict
with Japan.
Mr.. Wiilett placed all the blame for
the recent financial panic on President
Roosevelt. whom he denounced in Sc
we're terms He charged the President
with not being a sensible man, and with
having turned on the gas and not the
light and with going up and down the
country condemning and striking with
the big stick the heads of great indus
trial institutions.
Republican policies were attacked by
Mr.. Hardwick of Georgia, who predicted
that the only safety for the party lay in
the nomination of Secretary Taft for the
presidency.
The national banking laws were dis
cussed by Mr.. Morris of Nebraska, who
urged as protection to depositors the
taxing of bank deposits with tile view
of securing a fund for that purpose. The
resolution was pending when the House
adjourned until tomorrow.

letter to Governor Wilson:

4th inst. and variuos newspaper articles
which have appeared over your signature.

to be connected with feels perfectly con-
sistent in its attitude and efforts.
1T was conceived and nurtured for as
pure a purpose as the creation of the
office of the governor of the great state
which you have the honor to represent.
The association is progressing. Lawless-
ness, disorder and violence were never
a part Of the associations programme.
II have clearly Indicated to you that
I thought 1t far more harmful than bene-
ficial that even were 1t proved an ex-
pedient 1t could not be permanency. l
do not know who the lawless people are,
but do know that in committing law
lessness they were acting in the capacity
of individuals and as such are amenable
to the law.
'I have endeavored to discourage law
lessness or even great force. As to your
personal attack upon me and others of
our directorate by letter and IN the papers
we feel that In due time we can take
care of it, not only according to law, but
as dignifed and honorable citizens Your
caustic criticisms will sting little, but
they do not sink deep enough to hurt,

we can be quite patient or II need be,

referred to-" said Mr.. Maben. THE
Sloss- Sheffield has never entered into an
agreement with any company to main

market schedule is based upon $3.50 for
No. iron, at which figures sales are
being made and there is at present no
apparent reason for lowering the sched-

REIGN OF TERROR
IN LITTLE TOWNS
Night Riders Destroy Ware
houses In Two Counties
NOBODY INJURED BY SHOTS
President Ewing of the Dark Tobacco
Growers Association Replies To
Governor Wilson's Criticisms
In Very Decided Language.
NOBODY INJURED BY SHOTS

Louisville, January IA special from
Paris, KY, says:
Night riders made their appearance in
force in the Burley district late last
night, visiting two towns, one in Fleming
and the other in Bath county, and de-
stroying two warehouses and big gen.
eral store. The raiders did not fire any
shots in either place, but went about
their work quietly, leaving as soon as the
work had been accomplished. The men
were all masked and heavily armed, and
created a reign of terror among the cit
izens of the little villages. The first visit
was made to the town of Bethel, in
Bath county. This is little village of
about 800 inhabitants and the people were
totally unprepared for a raid. The army
marched into the town shortly before
midnight, and those who were aroused
were told to go back into their houses.
The mob proceeded directly up the main
street of the village, and saturating with
oil the big independent house of A. R.
Robinson, soon had it mass of flames.
AS soon as the riders had left the viii
lage, the citizens rushed to the scene of
the flames and attempted to put out the
fire. Before they succeeded in this, how
ever, the general store of Peters Bros,
adjoining the warehouse, was burning,
and all efforts to save it were futile.
From Bethel the raiders visited the
little town of Sherbourne, in Fleming
county, where they destroyed the inde-
pendent warehouse of Dougherty Bros.
No shots were fired. but the raiders, In
order to prevent any aid from being
summoned, cut all telephone and telc-
graph wires leading into both places. The
loss caused by the raids is not known
as the exact amount of tobacco in the
warehouses could not be ascertained.

Poor .WezU YORK;
A SCIENTIST with marvellous brain capacity and
penchant for mathematical deductions has figured
that New York City would be destroyed by an ava
lanche of ice from the North Pole about ten thousand
years from now. The prediction of this savant is
more reassuring than that of some of our atterday
prophets who claiming the early destruction of
the Empire State by fire, earthquake, collision of
comets, etc. Ten thousand years is long ways off.

CZeveZ0nds Chief of Police.

- IN Czevel0no1s Chief of Police.
PERHAPS the best chief Of police to be found in
this country is Chief Kohler, of Cleveland Ohio
His instructions to his subordnates are arrest
and lock up for trivial misdemeanors but to
warn them and prevent arrests if possible So far
his policy has been a success, and it highly
mended by President Roosevelt, who pronounced
Mr.. Kohler the best chief of police in the United
States. Such praise coming from the chief magis-
trate of this country is indeed high honor, and it
demonstrates that the Cleveland policy has underly-
ing principles which worthy of careful nvestiga
tion
Mr.. Kohler believes that the power vested in the
police department be utilized to better advantage
than by degrading American citizens for trivial Of

Liability Bill.

L1Ub1L1ty B1LL
ONE of the most important bills to pass the pres
ent Congress is the Employers Liability Bill This
is much needed law, one that organized labor has
been demanding for the past ten years. Undoubtedly
it's passage will cause great rejoicing among en-
ployees thruout the country, because it their
untiring efforts in behalf of the that practi.
cally established it's merit and proved that such
law was needed.
There many factories that menace to
those who work therein. The machinery is poorly
apportioned and little no safeguards provided
against possible injury from belts and pulleys. The
new measure will change all this, for it is much
cheaper to prevent needless accidents than it is to
pay damage suits The attorney general expressed
the belief that the bill constitutional but 1t re.
mains to be whether the courts of like opin-
ion It it safe to say that with such law the
statute books superintendent will be exceptionally
careful in guarding against serious accidents for the
proprietors will come to the conclusion that
their superintendent is derelct in his duty if they
are compelled to pay two or more suits envoving
thousands of dollars.
The law is good and should have been
passed years ago. But labor, however, is better or
ganized today than before and is becoming very
efficient in handling and pushing such to a
successful conclusion. They have pro6ted by ex-
perence and beginning to realize what tremen-
dous power they can WELD when concentrated on a
given object.

Judging.
WE ARE too much given to Judging people by
the way they treat u.s. and often these judgments
most unkind and unjust Self-love or vanity, is so
easily offended, and little, petty slight perhaps an
unintentonal one becomes burning grievance, even
when we have but slight acquaintance with the
offender.
Il is, of course, perfectly natural to be affected
by other peoples conduct toward us. It would be
unnatural to wish to make friends with those who
obviously do not like us, but to form opinion of
other peoples character from their social attitude
toward ourselves is the poorest of judgments-in fact
is not judgment, but is mere prejudice 1t is the
same sort of mental attitude which us to be
guilty of one of the commonest sorts of in6deity Of
friendship; that of indulging in general abuse of
who was once friend because personal feeling
has weakened the friendship. Changes may come
which interfere with our intimacy. We do not see
as often as before the who has been dearest
friend Suspicion arises that it is his fault that he
might see oftener if be would but even if this
true, it is not sufficient for to pass sweep
ing Judgment upon him and condemn unworthy
the one we formerly loved and admired.
We should guard against forming judgments
that are guided by personal dslikes without just
cause. We all have good side and bad side.
When we see the good side of others always like
them, but when we see the bad side, we never like
that When you see the bad side of people, or think
the side you are looking at is bad false unn-
teresting, Just stop moment and ask yourself this
question: What have I said or done to make them
show me their good side?-Selected.

BARGAINS iN Silk.

BARGAINS In Silk
THERE is very slick rascal in Morgantown,
West Virginia, who is playing upon the cupidity of
bargain hunters He advertses ten yards of silk for
two dollars, and sends his customers ten yards of
silk thread. This chap is too smooth to be at large
and it won't be long before he will be in the peniten.
tiary. Almost every other person imagines he can
get something for nothing but they realize their
mistake after they have parted with their money. It
should be self-evident to any Ierson that one
could afford to sell such amount of silk for two
dollars but the bigger the fraud the greater the rush
to get big bargain.

IT HAS been seriously limited that an attempt
would be made to reform Newport the citadel of the
aristocracy of America. This fashionable watering
place is noted for it's idiotic Stiffness it's monkey
dinners, and its reckless extravaganza We pity the
man who has undertaken this hercuean task for the
erection of the pyramids, the crossing of the Alps
or the cleaning out of the Augean stables were chds
play compared to the reforming of Newport. Why
there have been more bricks thrown at Newport
fguratively speaking, by preachers and newspapers
to bury the place a mile deep, but they appear as
unconcerned as baby Moses did while floating about
amid the bulrushes. 1t will take hundred big
sticks like Teddys to keep those Newporters moving
in the straight and narrow path.
