COTTON POOL CASE IS
ARGUED ON DEMURRER
Reports That Government Had
Found Defects in the lndict-
mentS Were DiSproved

NEW YORK, July 15.-Reports that
the government had found defects in
the indictments against James A. Pat
ten and others in connectio with the al
legged cotton pool and that it had de-
cided to submit the cases to another
grand jury were disproved today
through proceedings in the United
States circuit court.
Before Judge Hand, in that court, ar
gument was had on the pleas in abate-
ment and the demurrer that had been
interposed in behalf of the defendants.
Adrian II. Larkin, counsel for the de-
PENDANTS, asked that the matter be al
lowed to go over, but on the opposition
of Assistast District Attorney Frank
furter, Judge Hand announced that he
would htar argument. The pleas or
abatement alleged that the special fed
eral grand jury which found the indict-
ments against Patten and the others
was not legally drawn, and that, there
fore, the bill was not legal one.
In opposition to the pleas, United
States District Attorney Wise put in a
demurrer, in which he asserts that the
special grand jury avs properly drawn
and organized and that the Indictment
is legal.

LANGLEY FARMER IS
SHOT BY ASSASSIN
Attack Was Made on Ben
Hankinson on Secluded Road
Near His Home

AUGUSTA. Ga, July 1S.-Ben Hank
inson, a prominent white farmer, living
a few miles from Langley, 5. c., was
shot by some party, as yet unknown
and probably fatally wounded, Satur-
day while on his way home from Lang
ley, where he had been on business.
Complete mystery surrounds the traSe-
dy, which occurred on a secluded road,
hedged in by a very thick growth or
bushes on either side; the spot of the
alleged attack being at a dip in the
road, between two hIIls, and about 200
yards from the nearest house. The spot
where the shooting took place is a mile
and a half from Mr.. Hankinson's house.
Mr.. Hankinson says he was riding
along the road near the Rock Hill col
ored church, close to the residence or
Mr.. A. p. Franklin, and a man with a
dark mustache came from behind
bush and fired two shots at him. The
unknown assassin missed his aim the
lrst shot; the second shot pierced the
left breast of Mr.. Hankinson, Just
above the heart, and went through the
back of the buggy seat, falling to the
ground close by.
The physician who first examined Mr..
Hankinson said had it not been for the
muscular contraction or the heart, the
bullet would have hit a vital organ,
causing instant death. The bullet
barely missed the heart

HEAVY DAMAGE WROUGHT
BY KENTUCKY RAINS
Total Loss of $4,000, 900.
Crops Are Literally Swept
Away by the Torrents

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 16-As the re-
suit OF one OF the heaviest rain falls
since 1884 in central Kentucky, the streets
of Carlisle are flooded today, follow
ing the water spot which deluged Mich
olas, Webster and Union counties at an
early hour this morning and the total
loss - estimated at 100000 No loss OF
life = yet reported. Cloudbursts also -oc-
curred 1t Maysville and other towns in
the state. The storm broke this morning
at 1 o'clock and in short time the
Busky Creek which flows near Carlisle
flooded the town. One of the heaviest
losses which occurred was to the Bur-
ley Tobacco society, which had thou
sands of pounds of the pooled crop Of
1910 in warehouse which was flooded.
Nearly all OF the tobacco was in bulk
and il is feared IL will be a total loss.
The damage at Henderson. KY, was
greater than at Carlisle. Practically all OF
the crops in Union. Henderson and Web
rise in the waters. II is estimated that
5o.oo0 acres OF pooled tobacco was swept
from the valleys. The Illinois Central
railway tracks are under wafer, for a
distance of two miles and traffic is de-
loyed. The rainfall began at Hender-
son 'at 10 o'clock last night and In two
hours the fields were under water.
Bridges, houses, stables and barns were
swept away by the rising streams. The
food swept away practically all of the
grain in the shocks besides doing great
damage to the corn crop. Z.

COTTON BULLS HAVE WON
OVER WlCKERSHAM"

FLORENCE, S. c., July 16.-That the
cotton bulls have won victory over At
torney General Wickersham and that the
latter withdrew the indictments against
them because he has seen the error Of
his way, is the opinion of United States
Senator f. D. Smith, who returned from
Washington today.
He points out the fact that cotton has
climbed a dollar a bale in spite OF the
closing OF mills, curtailment and all other
bear influences, thus indicating the adj
verse influence of governmental interior
ence with trade
He predicted that cotton would con-
tinue to rise until the prices in October
would make the present prices look cheap.

Mr.. Fielder has been called away from
Macon on business, and it has been I'M
nossible for The Journal to commuui-
cate with him and ascertain his purpose.
His friends are confident, however, that
he will become a candidate, and make an
active canvass of the state.
Mr.. shackleford, of Athens, was at the
capitol Friday morning. He is strongly
inclined to become a candidate, but is
awaiting further developments before he
formally enters the field. He has had
wide experience as legislator, ana mas
a host of friends who would rally to his
support. in the event of his candidacy.
