In unhampered operation, fix the
price. The spinner would pay. and
the. farmer would receive, the nat
ural value of the crop. 1t is good
not only for this year, but for a,i
years. Plans based upon general
agreements have failed because, In
the first piece, it has not been pos
sible to secure the convenant OF all
planters, and, in the second place,
because self-interests placed pre-
MUM upon the breaking of the
agreement. The plan in view is not
dependent upon covenant or agree
ment, but is self-executory, the main
spring Of its operation being self
interest.
1t will profit the men who use 1t,
even though others do not use it,
1t is simple, but effective, and is this:
Let the producer OF cotton market
ten per cent of his crop each month
for ten months. An instant Of re-
fiection will convince any thoughtful
man that whether the crop So mar
keted be large or small, and whether
a hundred planters or hundred
thousand employ the method, the
result will be better than If the crop
was sold at once, or the attempt made
to hold it all. II the plan is good
for one planter, it is good for all,
and if all, or any great number
of planters adopt it. the problem
of marketing the crop is solved.
But it will be objected to by some
that the farmers needs are too press
ing and that he cannot meet his OBJ
legation by selling ten per cent OF
his crop in September, ten per cent
in October and 20 on. Alone and
unaided he can come nearer doing
this now than he could heretofore,
because he has made this crop on
more economical basis than ever
before and owes less. After this
year it will be easier still. because
he has himself largely made his
staple supplies for another year and
because in the near future he will
have great central public ware
house in which he will be able to
borrow moneF at a very low rate Of
interest.
But even now the farmer is not
alone in the fight. Every banker
and merchant and landowner in the
South is. or should be, with him.
If the cotton crop could be market
ed evenly through ten months, in
stead of unevenly in three or four.
bank stocks would enhance in value.
the merchants business would e1-
pand and become more protitable;
lands would yield more in rental
and in sales, and the South Would
receive each year the addition OF
many millions of dollars to its
wealth. - --. ssa

Central Tuesday night in Missis-
sippi and sweeping north at the rate
of two hun0red miles day, the hur-
ricane which devastated the Gulf
coast and left trail Of wreck ana
ruin through four States, continued
on its course with unabated fury.

From the little and aristocratic
summer colonies on the Louisiana
+, and Mississippi Gulf coast come
vague tales uf"frightful devastation
; and fears that many lives has been
lost. -; 80
The wealthy summer tourists who
own pleasure crafts are wont to spend
much time upon them, and it is pos
sible that many have been lost.
Biloxi, the Mecca Of the wealthy,
is still isolated, and what its fate
is is still clouded in mystery. jack
son, Miss, the capital Of the State,
is cut off to coast points.
The dome of the new capitol at
Jackson was wrecked and the ola
capitol unroofed. The streets were
tangle of live wires, and the fal-
lien trees and debris made the high
ways impossible.
At Vichsburg two vessels were
sunRen and third was driven
ashore. Their passengers were res
cued. One vessel lies across the
channel and has blocked navigation.
In the pretty harbors of Pasca-
goula and Bay St. Louis, many slips
are empty and the torn moorihgs
tell of the fury of the wind and
wave.
Bath houses, pavilions, yacht slips
and pleasure resorts that were night
ly brilliantly illuminated and the
rendezvous for those who sought
relaxation and amusement upon the
famous Gulf coast are washed away
and not timber remains to mark
their locations. And the story in its
hldeous entirety has not yet been
completed.
The only route of messages to New
orleans was by an improvised service
via .Hattiesburg.. arranged by THE
Associated Press, which organiza-
ton had secured a telephone line In

LOOKS LIKE MURDER
IN CASE OF A TOURISTS BODY
IS FOUND IN sANPIT.
Suspected Party, Former Barber at
Rosemary, Has Escaped-Police
Are Exercised Over the Mystery.

the, mystery concerning the identity
of the white man %who was found
iIfloating in the SampitS River; some
three weeks ago, has had some light
lsthroEn upon it by letter received
by Capt. Hale, of the Clyde Steam
ship Na~ahoe, from Mrs. Morrison,
of Newark, N. j., who states that a
man answering the description of the
man who was found, had accompa-
MED herself and companion from
Wilmington, NJ. c., 'to'-Georgetown,
on the steamer.
Her companion was veteran of
the civil war, a member Of the crew
of the Harvest Moon, of Farragut's
fleet, which was blown up by tor
pedo and sunk in Winyah Bay. The
old soldier made the trip to George
town for the purpose of viewing the
remains Of the old ship, portion Of
which is still above water, monu-
ment to the failure of the Federal
gunboats to enter Georgetown har-
Dor.
The party went to Georgetown,
spent the while the ship was in port
in viewing the sights, and together
expected to return North. The
stranger did not show up aboard
the steamer when she sailed, but a
man named Hiram Newman. who
stated that he had formerly been a
barber at Rosemary, took passage
for New York. telling the captain
THAT the missing man had spent
the previous night with him. and
sent word that he was not ready to
leave, that he would join the ship
al Wilmington.
+ 4 It is reported now that there were
some suspicious circumstances at
tending the case. The neck of the
drowned man was swollen abnor-
mally, and there were purple marks
about the throat that might denote
possible strangulation. On board the
ship it was noticed that the man car
ried a small wallet with money in
it. He was known to have had at
least $50 upon his person. Only
few pennies were found upon the
person of the wronged man; there
fore, it is possible that the man was
robbed and murdered, and the body
thrown overheard.
At the ccroner's inquest tho
ough examination was not made IS
70 whether death occurred by drown
ing or not, trt the verdict was that
the deceased came to his death ~
drowning. 1t is furtaar stated hy
the captain of the steamer, Bur
roughs, that on the Wednesday night
preceding the departure of the Clyde
steamer he heard loud voices and
cursing from q row boat in the river,
with sounds Of an evident struggle
among the occupants. He supposed
it to be midnight revel of boat

attention.

MACON MERCHANT MURDERED

Tells of Struggle.

AL Macon, Ga. Nicholas Carshell,
an aged Italian merchant. was dis
covered by officers Sunday morning
mortally wounded in a little room
in the rear of his 4th street estah-
lishment. a bloody hatchet and
blood floor and walls told
a story of an awful struggle. The
old man was frightfully wounded
about the head and arms. He was
living on the floor unconscious. The
disorder of the room bore evidence
that the room had been ransacked,
and officers are of the opinion that
robbery followed the assault.
