SAVANNAH WENT WILD
OVER. 20-CENT COTTON

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug. 3O-When cot
ton went TO 20 cents a pound yesterday
there were scenes Of wild ..ilarity on the
floor Of the Savannah Cotton exchange.
This was the high est price most of the
members Of the exchange had ever seen
the staple reach. and they proceeded to
celebrate the event by throwing up their
rats and cheering to their hearts con-
tent. II was the highest price reached
in Savannah since 1858.
The only trouble with the 20-cent
cotton right now is that there is so lit
tie OF the staple here to be delivered.
The price has not been so good in the
recollection Of few members Of the Sa-
vannah Cotton exchange. Hats were
thrown in the air and there was a shout
from the members VIII en- August cotton
was poste~ at 30 cents a pound.

September term Of the supreme court

'Rev." Frank W. Sanford. worshiped as
Elijah II, and self-styled Son of God, is
drifting aimlessly about, wondering
where on the dry earth he can land
with his band OF ''sanctified" followers
without being nabbed by the police.
He is wanted TO answer civil suits
to the tune of $4,000 and runs a good
chance of going to jail the next time
he sticks his head up.
And thus closes what may be the final
chapter in the history OF the Holy
Ghost and Us Society,"" a religious creed
with a history that reads like a serio-
comic drama.
Fifteen years ago Frank Sanford, a
college ball player OF some fame, had an
inspired vision. Like most inspired

DEMOCRATS WILL MAKE CLEAN SWEEP

Washington, September 14-(Special)- Governor Brothers of Maryland and Chairman Vandiver of the Maryland campaign committee are counting upon clean sweep for the Maryland demo- crats. The governor said today of the Maine result
 "In my judgment the results are most significant. They show that the people all over the country are determined that there must be reduction in the tariff and that the taxes raised from this source shall be the amount only neces- sary to maintain government economi- cally administered. I think that the re- suits clearly indicate that the next House of Representatives will be controlled by the democrats.
 Chairman Murray vandiver believes that the Maine victory means a sweep ing democratic victory In Maryland. Like all democrats throughout the country said General vandiver, 'the result Is extremely gratifying to me and rejoice at the redemption of Maine. AS the result of tine failure of the republican party to fulfill It's promises to revise the tariff downward, 1t is disorganized throughout the country.
 With these conditions prevailing throughout the country the democratic party Is prepared to meet the republicans in any state and especially in Maryland. think that it indicates that we will elect a solid democratic delegation to the next Congress"

TROPICAL STORM
 HITS TEXAS COAST

Galveston, September 14.-That the tropical storm, reported headed toward the mouth of the Rio Grande river. has vered to the south, but in passing brushed dangerously close to the south eastern coast of Texas, in indicated in ad- vices received tonight from Corpus Christi and points in that section. At Corpus Christi 60-mile wind was re- ported late this evening with rainfall of five inches during the past "A hours and the tide in the bay higher than for several years. Tonight, however, the storm is gradually subsiding. In Corpus Christi the damage will not exceed $500, In the surrounding country the damage to the cotton still in the fields will be considerable Later reports from Tarpon, on the north end of Mustang Island at Aransas Pass channel, tell of high tide, but no damage. Harbor Island, just inside the pass, is reported submerged. At Galveston tonight the barometer was nominal with slight vest wind. Ir the opinion of the local weather officers the storm has passed, probably out of the Yucatan channel or has lost itself near the Mexican coast. Uneasiness is
 felt for the auxiliary powered schooner Dantzler which left Tampico Sunday
 morning with cargo of fruit for Gal
 weston. It Is thought that she would have passed through the center of the storm No report has as yet been re-
 ceived of her progress.
 Brownsville reports a heavy rainfall to- day but little wind.

KEIFER SOUNDS
 NOTE OF WARNING

Springfield, O., September 4.-Declaring
 that to fortify the Panama canal would
 constitute an act of war, Gen. J. War
 ren Keller, representative from the Sew
 enth Ohio district, in a long statement
 issued here tonight reviews the treaty
 obligations of the United States with ref erence to the canal.
 His statement takes its text from sug- gestions made by William Randolph Hearst, in a statement issued Sunday. 'The fact is, says General Keller,
 "the Pauncefote treaty of Novem-
 Der 1S, 1901, clearly prohibits the United States from ever fortifying the Panama canal"
 General Keller continues: For the United States now to fortify the Panama canal would be violation of the -Pauncefote treaty and would of itself constitute an act not only of bad faith, but an act of war. The sug- gestion that the parties should declare in favor of the violation of this treaty is simply buncombe."

Washington. September 14.--(Spe- cial. )-Of all the insurgents Miles Poin- dexter, who won the republican sena- torial nomination in Washington yes terday, Is the most insurgent. Early in the last session of Congress, before in- surgency gained a foothold. Poirdex- ter was denouncing Cannonism and on one test vote was the only republican In the House to vote against his party. Poindexter Is a native of Memphis, Tenn, Just passed his forty-second birthday.
 The administration, through Secre- tary of the Interior Ballinger made every effort to defeat his nomination. as Poindexter is openly in favor of the nomination of Roosevelt in 1912 and was among the first to declare the failure of the Taft administra ton. Poindexter voted with the democrats almost as often as with his own party Tnsse is no questioUssbat he was vic- torious yesterday only by the aid of democratic votes. The democratic vote was less than 10 per cent of the total which means simply that the demo- crats called for republican ballots and voted for Poindexter and the other insurgent candidates. This, those fa-
