Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 31.-With the
thermometer lowering around 10 de'
grees above zero since early this

Alabama and Florida. The lowest
Temperature recorded in Atlanta was
at 5 o'clock this morning, 10 above;
at Birmingham the coldest was IL

bile, %.
While the orchardists believe that
the cold weather will be OF lnestl-
mable benefit to the peach crop IN
Georgia, reports indicate that straw
berries and vegetables have been
practically ruined as far south as the
northern part of Florida. A report
from Pensacola says that the cold
there to-day was more severe than
that experienced during the freeze OF

Charlotte, N. c., Feb. 2.-Charles
F. Wadsworth, one of the most prom
inent citizens in the business and So
cial life of Charlotte, committed sui
eide to-day in Greensboro hotel.

Saturday on a business trip. Last
night stranger who had registered
at the Clegg hotel there as "R. B.
Varne. Virginia" shot himself
through the head with pistol, dy-
ing few hours later at hospital.
The suicide left no message and the
only means of Identification was an
emblem of the Charlotte chapter,

was finally established by close
friends of the dead man who were
wired for to go to Greensboro to-

NO INCREASE IN RATES.
Gov. kitchin Refuses Request OF
Railroads.

Raleigh, n. c., Jan. 30.-Presi-
dents and other officials of the South
ern railway. Seaboard Air Line. At
lantic Coast Line, Norfolk & South
ern. Norfolk & Western and other
roads doing business in North Caro-
lima held a conference with Gov.
Kitchin to-day, following that Of Jan
uary %, to urge upon him that he
recommend legislation which would
permit the reopening of the passenger
rate question with the legislature or
have the North Carolina corporation
commission authorized to hear evil
dence and fix a rate.
President Finley of the Southern
railway was the chief spokesman for
the railroads. He claimed that the
present rate Of 2h cents fare with
2A and 2 cents mileage had proved
unjust to the railroads; that money
was being lost by it, and that the rate
was confiscatory and unjust.
Coy. Kitchin said that no evidence
had been presented to convince him
that the rate was confiscatory or un-
just, that the legislature at the spe-
cial session of 1907, called to consid-
er the rate question, had fixed 1t and
had declined to give any power to the
corporation commission to make a
change, the law passed being accepted
by. the railroads. For these reasons
he declined the request that he ask
the legislature to take up the matter
and refer it to the State corporation
commission and said he would make
no recommendations in the matter to
the legislature.

LeprOsy Case.

A hearing was had last week be-
fore Judge Robert Aldrich, in Barn
well, in regard to the case of Miss
Kirk, a lady in Aiken, who has lep-
rosy. She has been afflicted with the
disease for years, but the matter was
only recently brought to the atten-
ton of the Aiken board of health.
They at once quarantined the house
in which Miss Kirk lived and at
tempted to force her to move to a
pest house on the outskirts of town.
Her attorney secured an injunction
against the board, forbidding her re-
moval to the pest house, and the
matter came up before Judge Aid
rich, at Barnwell, as stated above.
A number of affidavits were read
from physicians, some contending
that the type of leprosy with which
Miss Kirk was infected was not con
tagious, while others contended that
it was contagious. Arguments were
made by attorneys representing both
Miss Kirk and the board of health.
and Judge Aldrich reserved his de-
cision.

section, one of the leading stock
raisers of the State, has sold to the
Kimball House dairy of Atlanta, Ga,

Jersey COWS. The bull, which is
about three years old, was sold for
$1,000, and the COWS brought from
500 to $500. They have been ship
ped to the dairy farm located near
Atlanta.
In the past few months many of
the dairymen of the State have
bought stock from cattle raisers in
the Pendleton section Of the county,
and it has now become known that
from here come some of the finest
Jerseys and other good dairy breeds
to be found anywhere in the country.

beauties.

dairy expert, located at Clemson, in
talking of these sales, said that it
shows the great advantages ottered
in South Carolina for cattle raising
and dairying. Everything is most
admirably suited for the business,

Crum Case Considered.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The senate
went into executive session at
o'clock to-day to consider the nomina-
ton of William D. Crum, for reap
pointment as collector of customs al
Charleston, S. C.. The Democrats op-
posed closing the doors, but motion
of Senator Frye, chairman of the
committee on commerce, prevailed
by vote of 33 to 18.
Crum was confirmed year ago, af-
ter a fight extending over three ses-
. 'ons, but is again opposed by Sena-
tor Tillman, who is supported by his
Democratic colleagues. 1t is said that
President-elect Taft desires to have
the nomination disposed of SO as not
to involve his administration at its
beginning in a fight with the senate
over an appointment.
After the doors were closed and
the Crum case laid before the senate,
Mr.. Tillman asked that consideration
be allowed to go over until so-mor-
row. His request was granted. Legis-
lative session was then resulted.

The View in Charleston.

Charleston, Jan. 29.-Whether w.
D. Crum be reappointed collector OF
the port of Charleston is the question
which is disturbing the people IN
Charleston and elsewhere. 1t is SAID
by a Charleston business man, VINO
saw a good deal Of President-elect
Taft when the latter was here few
days ago, that Mr. Taft had assured
him that he would not reappo1nt the
colored man to Office. On the other
hand a press report comes from
washington that Taft is urging ac-
ton by President Roosevelt that the
matter be quickly disposed OF and ne
be not troubled with it when he steps
into Office next March.
In none of the public speecnes
which were made during the two
days that Mr.. Taft was in Charleston
was the subject of politics or offlce
filing discussed, but the president
elect is said to have been sounded on
the matter by Charleston man ana
the assurance is said to have Deen
made by Mr.. Taft that he would not
reappoint Crum. Crum, in company
with other holders of federal of1ces'
called on the president-elect and was
among those who got the last look at
Mr.. Taft, being on the custom house
nier when the next president boarded
the cutter for the cruiser North Car
olina.
The matter remains in doubt as to
what is really the status of the sltua-
tion as far as the reappointment is
concerned.

uniniured. Then the family, bare
footed and with the mother almost
roasted from waist to shoulders, had
to walk half mile through the snow

mouth dripping with the boys blood,
and disappeared. The lion had part
