Stepping out I found myself in . moment at the elbow Of the sheriff, who was dismantling the establish ment. remarked quietly. Well. Jorn. I wouldn't have your job for a great deal of monev.'
 "The heat or the excitement, or both, caused the sheriff to make a warm re- ply. to which I responded in forcible language.
 The crowd began cheering for me and asked them to desist, leaving i'm, mediately with Mfr. Suttle. q q had not the. gena0tast-AdaA~e0s-esit cising the sheriff Or starting anything disorderly and greatly regret the noto- riety which arose from my remark to MT. Drago.

nothing short of this price would be fair In view of crop conditions.
 Nearly all cotton men believe that If the time for the farmer to hold stiff upper, lip in the matter of price ever will arrive 1t is at hand now. and that demand for fifteen cent cotton will be productive of immediate re- suits if a plan Is devised which will check the marketing of the early cot ton until the brokers see that the union means business. It is believed that the committee long ago reached the decision and Is now merely work ing out the details which must be overcome to guarantee success.
 The reports Of the committees on varehousing, minimum price for long staple. bucket shops. and other sub tects allied to the work of the main committee on fixing the price. will hardly be made until after the price has been agreed upon.

 ceed Ristine.


 ceed Rfstine.
 Nashville, Tenn, Sept. s.--At a meeting of the directors of the Ten- nessee Central Railroad here today. Ashbel B. Newell, of Chicago, was elected president to succeed George w. Rintine. resigned.
 MT. Newell comes of line of rail- roaders. his father having been presi- dent of the Lake Shore Road for a number of years. Mir. Newell is a graduate of Yale, finishing in the class of 1890. He entered railroad work ina mediately with the Lake Shore, con- tinuing for eleven years. He resigned his position with the Lake Shore to Pass Yukon route, an Alaska Canadian Railroad and navigation company. He continued with this road for five years and resigned to go into business for himself.
 The call of the road was too strong for him, however. and he again ent- cred into railroad work. being at the head of the organization and construc- tion of the Arkansas, Louisiana and Gulf Railway. From this line he went to Mexico in June. 1898, where he was superintendent of the National Railway of Mexico, until he was offered the presidency of the Tennessee Company some three weeks ago.
 S. M. Felton. chairman of the Board of Directors of the Tennessee Gen. tral Railroad, today gave out the fol- lowing statement:
 At the time MT. Pierce was last in Nashville he made the statement that the Tennessee Central Railroad would not remain stationary. On leav. ing for Europe and turning the chair manship of the board over, he asked me during his absence to duly study the question of a Western connection for the Tennessee Central. After lock- ing over the ground the Siffferent con- nections that were possible. the ex- tension of the Burlington to Paducah. was decided upon ,and that seeming to offer the best possible connection for the Tennessee Central and all it's interests, surveys were ordered be- tween Hopkinsville and Paducah to de- termine the practicability of a line be- tween the points. When these surveys are completed they will be submitted to the owners of the property and some definite action taken in regard to the extension"
 The engagement of Ashbel B. New ell, the new president of the Tennessee Central. and Miss Merlina Evelyn Sey- mour of Los Angeles, Cal. was an nounced here today. The wedding will take place this fall and they will re- side in Nashville.
