COURT HOUSE FARMERS
SWAPPING RECORDS
Report of Farmer Cobb S
Operations Up-TO-Date

Returns are still coming in from
the Court House Agricultural Associa-
ton. Farmer John A. Cobb is the lat
est to make a report at the morning
session of the chair-warmers on the
portico. The report was awaited with
intense interest, owing to the keen
rivalries between Farmer Cobb, Far
mer Jim Williams and Farmer Bill
Dodson. There has been a sort Of
subcOnscious feeling in court house
circles that whichever of these horny
handed sons of the toll makes the best
showing, backed up by the actual cot
ton receipts, is more than apt to sue
coed Tom Hudson as Commissioner.
While the full returns are, of course.
not yet in, yesterdays report reemed
to turn the wavering balances in favor
of Capt. Cobb. That gentleman's dis
inclination to Atlanta life, though,
may induce him to resign the coveted
honor to one of the other farmers.
Farmer Cobb worked on the inten-
sive plan this season, that is to say,
he condensed his cotton patch to 35
acres. This enabled him. the other
farmers say, to do most of he work
himself and ensured him financial re-
turns that will make their bank ac-
counts small by comparison Yester-
day, armed with the actual figures,
behind which there could be no posi-
bility of going, and wearing trium-
plant smile, Farmer Cobb presented
the following condensed statement.
AS Farmer Jim Williams enviously
remarked, the statement was almost
as small as the cotton patch:
Planted in cotton, 35 acres.
Picked and marketed to date, 8
bales.

POPE AGAINST MOVING
HOLY SfPULCHREE
Regulates Project Said To
Interest Mrs. Ryan

Washington, Sept SIT is denied
as unqualifedly false and ridiculous
the report that Pope Plus X has taken
steps to have the tomb which is held
b ythe Catholic church to be the Holy
Sepulchre, now in the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, transport
ed to Italy. This denial made by
Mgr. Diomede Falconio, Papai Dele
gate to the United States, who re-
turned to this city a few days ago
after a visit to Rome, is final, and in
the event of necessity, not evident at
the present time, additional data will
be made public to show the impossi-
bility of the transfer.
Mgr. Falconio further asserted that
the Pope would be the last person in
the world to consent to the transfer
of the tomb; that His Holiness on
more than one occasion has placed
himself on record to the effect that
the Holy Sepulchre is essentially a
relic that belongs to the history and
the tradition of Jerusalem, and that
moving it, even to Rome, would be
an offense of the grayest character.
Mgr. Falconio SAL that Catholicism.
so far as the Sepulchre is concerned,
knows neither geography nor nation
atty Every faithful Catholic has a
spiritual right in it, he added, lust
as every Christian nation will, if nee
essity arises, resort to arms in the
defense of its inviolability." ''Hea-
thenism" is the word he applied to
the supporters of a change of Ioca-
ton.
When asked if he knew that Mrs
Thomas f. Ryan, wife of the financier,
and other ardent Catholics, were
ready to subscribe literally to defray

circus man named Rivers, some
months ago, has been respited by Gov.
Brown for a period of twenty-eight
days in order that he may introduce
new testimony. Elliott had been SEN
fenced to hang Sept. 10th. One of the
reasons for the respite was the fact
that w. D. Mcneil, attorney for Elliott,

that strong pressure has been brought

Sepulchre, upon request of the Vati-
can, the prelate said outright that he
did not believe Mrs. Ryan or any other
Catholic had taken stock in the re-
port. Speaking in the name of the
Pope he was emphatic in stating that
the latter would use all his influence
against any efforts by well-meaning
but misguided Catholics to have the
Sepulchre removed.
Mgr. Falconio concluded by saying,
that the Catholics, from the Pope to
the most humble penitent, are amply
satisfied with having the Scala Sacra

Calvary
