 GUARANTY PLAN Solution of Cotton Bills of Lading Puzzle Not Found CONFERENCE IS FAILURE
European and American Bankers Had About Agreed On Bills of Lading Plan in New York But the
 South Objects Strongly

New York, October 14-Due largely to the uncompromising attitude of some southern cotton exchanges, the plan to create guaranty company" to over come the difficulties now attending the european acceptance of American cotton bills of lading received a decided set back today. It was expected that the committee of American bankers and Sir Edward W. Holden, representing the Eu- ropean banking interests, would ratify yesterdays action and work out details of the plan; instead of which the meet ing broke up abruptly with general misunderstanding.
 We are far from agreed" said Joseph T. Talbert, vice president of the National City bank. which has been taking an ac- tive part in the proceedings.
 It was learned after the conference that the protesting southern exchanges openly condemn the guaranty company" plan as unreasonable and visionary. This opposition was so pronounced that 1t caused the American committee to pause The outcome was hardly a general disap- pointment, however, for some of the con- ferees are inclined to adopt a policy of inaction in the belief that the foreigners will soon extend the acceptance of Amer ican cotton bills from October 3l to De- cember 31. In this event the American committee will have ample time to arrive at definite understanding.
 John E. Gardin, vice president of the National City bank, said today that the time limit set by the British bankers committee for the acceptance of the American cotton bills of lading without a bankers guarantee will probably be ex- tended from October 31 until Decem- Der 31
 By that time," said MT. Gardin. "the cotton crop will have been financed and there will be about nine months in which to perfect the plan to guarantee the bills by an insurance company before the next crop"
 Mir. Gardin believes the solution adopt ed by the committee at yesterdays ses- sion to be the only feasible one under the circumstances.
 Regarding the creation of a guaranty company to guarantee the validity of cot ton bills of lading. Max May, vice presi- dent of .the Guaranty Trust company, said today: q 'The guaranty company now under contemplation will probably be of larger scope than is generally understood. That It will be undertaken at the initiative of English bankers and capitalists with probably a head office in London and branches throughout the United States, and with a capital commensurate with the business which it will undertake, throws a new light on the plan. It shows that the English bankers are themselves ready to Undertake the guaranty com pany to satisfy their own demands
 ''The company will probably be a large stock company of limited liability in which English bankers and spinners, American bankers and exporters will be invited to participate. It might result in becoming large money-making corpora tion.'

Sheriff Mct,illis has been busy the

beds of geranums and other flowers
have been set out in various artistic

There has been big change in the

other eye sores will bear in mind.

moisture and plant food, which means
reduced yield.
TO kill weeds, cultivator should
be used that has shovels that will
cut under the whole surface and not
leave any space that is not cut will
be helped by the cultivation and so
make rapid growth. 1t is not nee
essary to go deep to kill weeds. An
important thing to keep in mind, how
ever, is to kill them when they are
small.
To save moisture the surface soil
should be kept loose and from this
standpoint the cultivation should be-
gin whenever the surface gets COM
pacted and it is not necessary to go
deep in order to have this loose sur
face. Rain is one of the greatest
cOmpacting agencies; hence. after a
rain the land should be narrowed as
soon as the soil will work nicely. If
narrowed when wet more harm than
good may be DONE The soil will also
compact from its own weight so that
4 cultivation every two or three weeks
is necessary to keep the dust mulch
in the most effective condition.
The saving of moisture is very i'm
portant, both for the corn crop and
also for the crop following the corn.
1t is not only that it supplies the crop
with moisture, but it keeps up the
moisture content of the soil so that
the plant food can go into solution,
which is the only way the plant can
get it AMI it also makes favorable con-
ditions for bacteria which makes the
plant food available.

TO ESCAPE MAD HORSE.
Runaway Animal Takes to Side
walk in Wild Dash.

johnny Kotchamach, Z years old, had
the scare of his life today when he
found himself directly in the path of a
runaway horse on Bank street.
The little chap was standing on the
sidewalk when he saw the maddened
animal, which had left the roadway,
bearing down upon him. Aided by a
warning shout from pedestrians who
were unable to reach him, and his own
presence of mind, he vaulted an iron
fence just as the foam-flecked horse
dashed by So narrow was the escape
bystanders declare they saw the lads
hair actually stand on end.
The horse, the property of Norris
Marx, !, a pickle dealer, of 40 Avon
place. took fright IN Rutgers street
when nut came off the front axle OF
the wagon, which partly turned over.
The frightened horse broke from the
traces and ran through Bank street.
He stopped only when thrown to the
ground by stepping on dragging
strap of harness. In the meantime
Marx had tumbled out of the wagon,
but was unhurt.
