NEW YORK, June S.-Roosevelt, In
the editorial column Of the current

literary prowess of Warrington Daw-
son, star correspondent Of the United
Press, whose stories Of the doings Of
the Roosevelt party in Africa, attract
ed International notice. Roosevelt
says:
1T seems queer to go abroad and
discover an American author. Two
books have appeared in England DUR
ing the last year or two named The
Scar and Tho Scourge' They have
been success in England and in the
continent. Yet they are by an Amer
lean author. Warrington Dawson, of
South Carolina. The books deal with
localities, types and questions exclus-
lively American. Mr.. Dawsons' stories
are laid in Virginia. l have no inten-
ton OF writing criticism on Dawson's
books. but 1t is worth while calling
attention to the fact that this author
who writes with power and interest of
| vital home matters. has his critics
and audience abroad, and has neither
critics nor audience at home. He
should have both.

. Montrose, Col, Sept. 23.-Presi-
dent Taft passed the day on the
western slope Of the Rocky Noun

scenes typical of the great Western

TABLES TURNED IN COURT.
Woman is Declared GuiltlcsS and
Her Prosecutor is Arrested.

Anderson, Sept. 24.-Something
of stir was created in the Court
Of General Sessions here when Solic-
itor p. A. Bonham asked the jury to
return verdict of not guilty in the
case Of Fannie Massey and Drew
Hayes, charged with living together
unlawfully, and the prosecutor in
the case, w. l.. Massey, was placed
under arrest by Sheriff w. b. King
and conducted from the witness
chair to the Jail q prisoner. The
warrant for MasseyS arrest was sent
here from Elberton, Ga, and charges
him with disposing of property un-
der mortgage. All of the parties
are white.
The woman acted as her own at
torney and put her husband through
a rigid cross-eXamination at the trial,
bringing out evidence tending to
show that Massey had brought ano-
ther woman to their home in Geor-
gia, keeping her under the same roof
with his wife; that they quarreled
over the matter, and Massey finally
brought his wife TO this side of the
river and left her. Mrs. Massey de-
clares she applied TO Hayes, who
lives IN this county, and hired to
him as housekeeper, cook and
washerwoman, because she had no.
where else to go.
The sympathies of those in the
court room were with the woman,
and the action OF the solicitor in ask
ing for the verdict of not guilty, as
we'll as the placing Of Massey under
arrest seems to have met the hearty
approval of all who had heard the
case.

Wholesale Baby Murdcress.

Toronto, Oontario, Sept. 24.-The
discovery Of baby lying dead be-
side the railway near Niagara Falls
with the word "Authers'' on q ticket
pasted on its back, led to the arrest
OF Mrs. Maud Turner, to whom had
been given 500 to adopt the child
a few days ago.
The arrest and the publicity at
tached to it brought a score of let
ters to the detective department
from people whose shildren she ad-
opted, who fear theirs also may have
been killed.
When Mrs. Turner was arrested
she had another child with her. The
police yesterday obtained informa-
ton pointing to the belief that this
woman had adopted scores Of babies
for consideration, and, having
strangled them, thrown their bodies
into Lake Ontario or some other OBJ
scure place.
The police assert that she adyer-
tised In Toronto, Buffalo, Niagara
Falls, San Francisco and other Amer
lean cities for children to be adopted;
that she had two husbands in To-
ronto: one In Niagara Fails; one in
San Francisco, and may have others,
the theory being that these husbands
have been accomplices. .Hn rH

WHEN "FUTUREs". DON'T PAY.
Some Sold last Summer for 10 and
II CcntS-COnsidcr Price Now.
tAnderSOn Mail, 23d)

Much disappointment is being felt
by large number Of farmers i'm
this section because Of the fact that
they sold cotton for September and
October delivery at figure that is
considerably lower than the price of
spot cotton now. Middling cotton
was quoted at - 1ac. per pound.
Even as early as April and all
farmers were anxious about the price
Of cotton during the fall, and fearing
that there would be a large crop
made throughout the South, sold
portion OF their crop. The sales were
made on a basis OF what futures
were worth at that time. For in
stance, If October futures were II
cents in May, farmers entered into a
contract with exporters which stipu-
lated that they should receive about
1890 for so many bales, to be deliv-
cred in October.
Large amounts Of cotton were sold
as low as 10 and II cents, and the
farmers must now fulfil their con-
tracts, although they will receive as
much as from half cent to two and
half cents under the market price
to-day. rD.#.nm. -"a,.
The dealers expect the farmers
who sold for future delivery to come
up promptly In spite of the fact that
they will lose some money. If cot
ton had gone to 6 cents instead OF
to IL and 13 cents the farmers who
sold cotton would quickly demand
their contract price, so say the cot
ton men.
