THE COTTON JOURNAL DEAD.
100000 of Stock Issucd---Plunt is
Valued at STS,5oo.
(htlanta journal, 6th.)


The Southern Cotton Joujnal, one
of the best known trade publications
in the South, the official organ OF the
Southern Cotton Association, which
was organized some four years ago
with HarNie Jordan as president and
Richard Cheatham as secretary, is no
more.
Harvie Jordan was editor-in- chief
Of the Cotton Journal and Richard
Cheatham was business manager.
The latter was the main financial
spirit, and he invested quite a large
sum Of money in the publication. For
months the paper was apparently in a
prosperous condition A large staff
was employed and every effort was
made to secure a big circulation.
About two years ago the Cotton
Journal issued 100000 worth of
stock. All Of this stock was sold.
1t was stated in the prospectus that
the Cotton Journal Publishing Com
pany intended buying a plant and
printing other publications and that
1t would derive substantial profit
thereby.
Presses and equipment were pur-
chased and the Offices Of the paper
were removed from the Brown-Ran-
dolph Building to the Andrews Build
Ing on Marietta Street. Among the
publications printed was Tom Wat
sons Jeffersonian.
The company needed money and
Mr.. Watson advanced it something
like $1,000, taking a second mort
gage on tho plant. This note was due
las. November and was not paid. Mr..
Watson took over the plant and is
now operating it. With the taking
over Of the plant the Southern Cot
ton Journal was suspended. Those
who subscribed to stock have nothing
to show for their money except some
nicely engraved certificates. The
plant is valued at approximately SIS
800 and Mr.. Watson in taking it over
has, it is stated, assumed certain out
standing obligations against it.
1t is understood that a majority of
those who took stock in the Cotton
journal are we'll known farmers of
the South.
1t is intimated that Mr.. Watson in
tends changing the name of his pa
per from the Jeffersonian to Watson's s
Magazine.

Blasting Powder in Coal.

Petersburg, Ind, jan 5.-The kit
chen stove exploded while Matron
Gressnel was preparing breakfast for
the 40 little ones in the orphans
home to-day. The stove lids we're
driven through the ceiling and the
building set afire.
Fearing fatal panic among the
children, the matron did not call the
fire department after she coolly had
estimated that a bucket brigade could
do the work. She divided her forces,
sending some of her assistants up-
stairs to quiet the big family, while
she directed the rest in the fire fight
ing below.
The fire was put out and no one
hurt. The explosion was caused by
blasting powder left by miners in the
coal.

AVIATOR KILLED IN FLIGHT.
Leon De la Grange Meets Death In
der His MonOplnnc.

Leon De La Grange, the French
the past two years had won fer him
Il high place among those who have
set out to conquer the air, was in
stantly killed at Bordeaux, France,
last Tuesday, while making a flight
in the presence of a great crowd OF
spectators.
a strong, uncertain wind prevail
ed, but with characteristic daring De
La Grange faced 1t in the same mono
plane in which he made record Of
SO miles an hour at the Doncaster
meeting last October. He circled the
aerodome, seeming to have good
control, and yet at times it heeled
dangerously to the wind On the
third round, when at height of be-
tween sixty and seventy feet, he IN
creased his speed. He swung wide
at the turns, but at the tower end Of
the aerodome he attempted to de-
scribe sharp curve. The machine
was seen to sway. The left wing was
broken and the right wing immedi-
ately collapsed. The aeroplane came
plunging to the earth and it turned
half over as 1t fell, with the aviator
clinging to the seat. IN this way it
crashed to the ground with De La
Grange beneath, the heavy motor
crushing out his life.
The mechanicians are at loss to
explain the exact cause OF the acci-
dent They are merely able to say
that it resulted from manoeuvring
too quickly in the puffy wind. The
monoplane was doubly braced at the
essential points and had been given
a careful examination before ascend
ing.
