COTTON AGAIN UP;
BULLS BUY STEADILY
COLD WAVE HELPS CAUSE
MARKET WITHIN FEW POINTS OF FOR
: AER RECORD AND SHOWS SIGNS
or GREAT STRENGTH

The cotton market yesterday
rose to a level only twelve points
below the high record of the
season. the market showing un-
mistakable signs of strength.
Freezing temperatures over
large portion of the belt, partic-
ularly in those sections where the
crop is late, coupled with decreas-
ing movement and higher prices
for goods, are given as the rea-
sons for the advance. Bulls are
said to be not particularly ag-
gressive. yet good buying ap
peared from many directions.
Five of the larger interior
towns received in the neighbor-
hood of 33, 900 bales less yester-
day than the same day last year.
which was taken as confirmation
of the reports that cotton had
largely been picked and ginned,
and most of the crop sold.
Farmers in this section are
holding out for fifteen cents.
Considerable cotton is now in the
hands of commission men await
ing that price.

New York, Nov. 16.-The
passing of the Goulds was the
golden text of Wall street today.
1t opened up endless vistas of
speculation. Gould influence has
kept a dozen splendid properties
out of Wall street for genera.
Gons. The so-called Gould
shares have had only a nominal
market and now the street is
happy that there is indisputa bic
evidence of the intention of the
family to retire and let these
aoocks join the great family OF
live ones.

lbs FOR MATERIAL.

Mr.. E. c. Lawrence, of the
Newport Contracting & Engin-
eering Co., Inc, the firm which
has the contract to build the
S51, 900 government building on
Bradford Square, arrived in &C.
lumbus yesterday and is at the
Gilmer. Mr.. Lawrence is here
for the purpose of giving local
concerns a chance to supply ma
terial for the postoffice building,
and all esterday he was busy
confering with representatives
of firms desiring to make bids.
Much of the material of necessi-
ty, Mr.. Lawrence says, will
be bought elsewhere, such
as the hydraulic red
brick and Indiana limestone,
specified by the government for
the exterior of the building, but
rough brick, marble for interior
work, plumbing, wiring, paint
ing, lumber and other things
may be furnished here. The
plastering is to be highly orna-
mental and requires artistic
workmanship. Bids for all this
will be passed upon next week
when Mr.. Lawrence returns to
his office at Newport News, Va.
He will remain here until tomor-
row, meeting those desirous of
submitting bids He is anxious
to favor local grms in every way
possible.
Work on the building will COM
mence>Dec. l. The excavating,
entailing the removal O. $1,000
cubic yards of dirt, will be done
by the company itself.

CURIOUS SIGHT--AND
WEATHER CHANGES
SEASON NOW SEASOAkBLE
LONG DRAWN OUT SUMMER GIVES WAY
TO WlATER--BUSlNESS WILL
TAKE A BRACE

I At last, according to the wealth
er man, the soft, near-spring
weather is to give way to the
rigors of winter. Already its
touch is in the air and heavy
rains which began Tuesday af-
ternoon are expected to continue
until the last of summer has
been washed away and cold
weather brought on in earnest.
1t will be a welcome change.
Too much fine weather has
grown tiresome.
Business has languished.
Merchants haye big fall stocks
on hand that need thinning out
and people generally have re-
laxed under the influence of un-
seasonable sunshine. A few crisp
fall days will give more life and
put vertebrate qualities into
things. With the exception of
several frosty mornings, there
has hardly been anything but
the calendar to show that sum-
mer had passed and winter, not
only arrived, but already ap-
preaching its last lap. There
has been nothing in a weather
way. certainly, to suggest Chris
mas, and yet that time is just
five weeks off. Then, according
to every conception of the sea-
son, women must wear their
furs and men their overcoats.
Not for the same reason, per-
haps, for its never very cold
but men need the extra pockets.
Thanksgiving ought by rights
to be frosty for football, crowd
ed excursion trains and hunting,
and for the cause of good appe-
tlte, for that S the day the whole
nation gets greasy with turkey.
How many turkeys will die un-
der the axe the day before?
But mathematics aside, it's safe to
say if all the feathers from these
sacrificial birds were bundled to-
gether. they'd probably make
a mattress big enough to soften
the fall of Peary, all the way
from the North pole to gate re-
ceipts. And their combined COB
bles would probably make as
much noise as an Alabama
amendment orator coming down
the home stretch.
The Columbus commercial. (Columbus, Miss.) 1893-1922, 1909-11-18

But what's the use. Peary nc
doubt thinks he is still at the
| North pole and the orators cant
be amended.
But speaking of Thanksgiving
and the Presidents proclamation
designating Nov. 25 for that
observance, what about that
other President, he who is now
intimidating the denziens of
Richard Harding Davis own jun
giles and sending home stuffed
G. o. P. symbols branded T. r..
What is He going to eat for
Thanksgiving dinner. Now that's
a thought for the nation. Of
course in time the menu will be
cabled to some magazine at 81. .18
per, and if it reads who e
Rhinosceros patties, with monkey
sauce" why next year rhinosce-
rous would be the national bird,
and the monkeys?-that's puzzle
picture. Just wait till he gets back
and you won't have to grind out
weather dope to fill up space. A
dozen Merganthallers are only
breakfast food for him. Theirs a
reason But back to the weather.
Two things inevitably pointed to
a change. Tornado insurance
agents, those infallible storm
birds, were moving yesterday.
They sail out on the first cloud
and Providence in the past has
favored them, But still another
thing pointed to somethig. DIR.
Uithoven, who lives about eight
miles north of town, saw a curl
Gus sight Tuesday morning. It
was just above the sun and it
stayed there quite a while. DR..
Uithoven says it was about z A.
NJ. According to mundane dis
tances it was about a yard above
the sun, which itself wasn't very
high. 1t looked like a battleship-I
at first he thought it was. 1t was
black and flat and long, and it
smoked. 1t had a chimney, stick
ing right up out of the middle,
through which all the smoke went
in curls. Finally it smoked itself
away. DR.. Uithoven says he
thinks it was cloud. but very
curious one. It undoubtedly meant
a change in the weather. Thank
heaven the weather is always
with US.

WESTERN UNION SOLD

GOULDS ARE BOUGHT OUT
BIG STEP TOWARD CONTROL BY ONE
CORPORATION OF ALL WIRE GOMMUNI-
CATION OF THE COUNTRY

Boston, Nov. A long
stride toward the complete c
troll by one corporation of o.
wire communication in the
United States was made today in
the absorption by the American
Telephone and Telegraph compa-
ny Of the control of the Western
Union Telegraph.
In order to make the absorp-
tion complete, the incorporation
of a new 81, 900, 900, 900 company,
it is said, viii be necessary to in
clude the 1892, ATS, 400 of bonds
and stock of the American Tele-
phone company, known as the
Bell company, and the outstand-
ing $165, OOO,OO of bonds and

The Western Union was one of
the pet properties of the late Jay
Gould, which has been in the
Gould family for a generation,
and it was by the sale of Gould
stocks today that the merger
was accomplished.

WOMAN ASSAULTED

i "O11TaAN <1oO<AO1 Ell
The negro was lynched in
Chattanooga in March, 1906.
Miss Nevalia Taylor, the young
woman who was assaulted by
Ed Johnston. the negro out of
whose lynching grew the Shipp
contempt case, is not alive to
witness the last chapter in the
tragedy which had its beginning
at the gates of beautiful Forest
Hills cemetery, where she was
choked into insensibility by a
leather moose in the hands of the
negro.
Left a physical wreck at the
age of Fl years by the nights
experience. her nervous system
further shocked by the ordeal of
the public trial in which she
identified Johnson as her assail-
ant, Miss Taylor left Chattanoo-
ga in hope of restoring her
health amid new surroundings,
but it availed nothing, and in a
few months she broke down
completely and died at the home
of her sister near Ashtabula, O.,
in August, 1907, and was buried
there.

SHERIFF SENTENCED
BY SUPREME COURT
DIDN'T STOP lYhCHING
CAPTAIN SHIPp OF CHATTANOOGA IN
JAIL FOR NINETY DAYS FOR CON-
TEMPT OF COURT

Washington, Nov. Is For the
first time in American history
six men are in prison tonight for
contempt Of the supreme court
of the United States. For the
first time, too, the federal gov
ernment has placed men behind
the bars as an outcome of the
lynching of a negro.
At the United States Jail in
this city, Capt. Joseph F. Shipp,
former sheriff of Chattanooga,
Tenn; jeremiah Gibson, his
jailer, and Luther Williams,
Nick Nolan, Henry Padgett and
William Mayes of the same city,
began this afternoon to serve
terms of Imprisonment imposed
a few hours before by the su-
preme court of the United States.
'Shipp and Gibson had been
found guilty of failing to pro-
tect from mob Ed Johnson,
whose legal execution for crimi-
nal assault had been stayed by
the supreme court until that tri-
bunal could review the case.
The others had been found gull
ty of participation in the lynch
ing of a federal prisoner. Shipp,
Williams and Nolan were given
sentences of ninety days i'm
prisonment each. while Gibson,
Padgett and Mayors each re-
ceived sixty days.
WITHOUT PRECEDENT
The proceedings were prac-
tically without precedent. In
1895. John Chiles, a business
man of Texas, was brought be-
fore the court for contempt in
connection with dealings in Tex
as indemnity bonds, contrary to
an order of the supreme court.
He was fined $3.50. But that in
stance lacked the interest of the
case today. In it were involved
no race question. no lynching,
no interference with state juris-
diction; only the majesty of the
law was interpreted by the high
est court of the land.
Heading the little group of
six men found guilty of contempt,
as they took their places before
the black-robed justices, was
Captain Joseph H. Shipp, the
sheriff in Chattanooga, Tenn,
when he offended the court.
His tall, straight figure, his seam
ed face and his gray-streaked
beard, told of his long service in
the army of the Confederacy.
Captain Joseph f. Shipp,
native Georgian, went to Chatta-
noga thirty-six years ago. He
has been in public life there since
1873. He is now a trustee of the
Tennessee Com ederate Soldiers
Home. During the civil war he
served in the army of northern
Virginia. Captain Shipp is &c
years old. He has a wife and
seven children, all of Chatta-
