BANK IS BROKEN INTO
BREATHITT FEUDISTS FIGHT
OVER BALLOTS.
Sheriff in P ursuit of Those Who
Forcibly Took Ballots and Es-

Jackson, Ky.-Breathitt county, the
seat of feud which has been promi-

many years past, is in the throes of IA
campaign which threatens to result in
serious trouble. A full set of county
officers is to be elected, and feeling has
been at fever heat for several weeks
past. This eliminated in the seizure
of the stock of official ballots by body
of armed men, who forcibly took them
from a local bank, where they had been
deposited for safekeeping, and made off
with them to small hamlet in an al
most inaccessible part of the county.
Sheriff Crawford armed with war
rants for the arrest of S. II. Hurst,
county clerk, and William Sebastian,
summoned posse and went after the
men and ballots. The sheriff says that
when he and his posse approached the
house in which the ballots are alleged
to be held they were covered with sixty
guns in the hands of men who had been
in the party which made the raid on
the ballots in the bank here, and the

s4,OOO,OOO ON COTTON
PATTON Is LONG BY ABOUT
100000 BALES.
$4,000 to Millionaire
Grain Dealer.

Chicago.-James A. Patten became
approximately 100000 richer through
wild rise in American and English
cotton markets Thursday. He is long
about 100000 bales, much of which he
accumulated when cotton was selling
around cents pound. An advance to
IA SIS cents at the opening when shorts
attempted to cover, gives him an aver
age profit of four cents a pound.
Every change of point in the market
means $4,000 to the millionaire grain
trader, who won about $5,000,000 i'll

Since last spring cotton has advanced
about five cents, and as result Patterns
Chicago followers have been richly re-
warded, as they were last spring in
wheat.
With the exception of six years ago,
when cotton sold at 1866 cents in the
New York market, the present era of
quotations is the highest in the history
of the market.

BUYING INDIA COTTON.
Southern Mills for First Time Go
Abroad for Material.

Anderson, S. Gas a result of the
prevailing high prices of American cot
ton, Southern mills for the first time
in their history are purchasing cotton
grown in India. President II. c. Town
send, of the Townsend Irvine Mills, has
placed orders for several hundred bales
of Indian cotton, and it is understood
that the other mills in the Piedmont
section of South Carolina have done
likewise.
The Indian cotton is of a shorter
staple than the upland cotton, but is as
white and smooth. The mills are going
to experiment with this cotton and if it
proves satisfactory, as the mill men are
confident it will, large orders will be
placed at once.
The Indian cotton was bought at
IL 1-s cents, f. o. b. New York. The
freight to Anderson is So cents per
hundred pounds. This cotton can,
therefore, be laid down here for about
II ga cents, while the American cotton
is bring 16 IA cents here now.
