these disorders.

Pine Ridge School Closes.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch:
The gentle sound OF the Pine Ridge
school bell is hushed, the doors are
now closed for the present session.
The closing exercises which were held
on Saturday, March 10th, was a sue
cess. The day being an ideal one'
the crowd began to gather at an early
hour, and when the exercises began
the crowd was the largest that ever
assembled at Pine Ridge.
The manner in which the students
performed their part was a graceful
one. The most interesting part OF
the program was a debate, subject:
Resolved, THAT Heredity is greater
factor in the formation of character
than environment" The subject was
ably discussed by both sides. The af-
firmative was composed of Roy l..
Ballertine, Ollie L. Shealy and Ceber
G. Shealy; tie negative was Johnnie
w. Swygert, Ollie K. Hufstettler and
Ernest O. Wessinger. The committee
of Judges were Rev. E. J. Sox, Hon.
E. U. Shealy and Hon. J. L. Annex.
After the school exercises were over
Hon. J. L. Amick and Hon. E. {.
Shealy adressed the audience, both
spoke Oh the subject Of education.

Oyster Bay, n. Y.-Theodore Roose-
Welt announced that he does not IN
tend trying to dictate nominations for
the fall election.
81 want it distinctly understood that
l shall take no part in nominations
anywhere" was the way the expresi-
lent put it.
This announcement Of the ex-presl-
dent goes as to every state and ma
tionaI fight, even to the governorsh1p
of New York. In an interview last
week he was quoted as saying that L
shall pick the governor of New York
state" But Monday he laid emphasis
on his inclination to let the others do
the nominating. He will continue to
hold conferences with the state politi-
cal leaders and sound sentiment, blIC
as to picking out candidates, never, at
least SO he says.
When asked if he had a candidate
in mind for the governorship, the eX-
president maintained a sphynx-like
silence.
Col. Roosevelt made his announce
ment regarding his refusal to dictate
nominations after a visit to Sycamore
Hill by Douglass Robinson, his broth
er-in-law, and Theodore Robinson, of
Herkimer, son Of Douglass Robinson.
In speaking of the visit Col. Roosevelt
dictated the following:
"My brother-in-law, Douglass Robin
son., and his son., my nephew, Theo-
dore Robinson, were down to see me.
My brother-in-law is a member of the
Herkimer county grange and is also a
member of III committee of the
grange which is arranging for the
grange picnic to be held at Utica at
the end of August, and he came to ex-
tend to me the committees invitation
to speak at the picnic and 1 accepted"

COTTON MEN ALARMED.
Texas Aroused OVER Action of Finan
ciers on Cotton Lading.

DenisOn, TeXas.-News was received
here Friday to the effect that the cred
it institutions of the East and OF
Europe have declined to advance any
more money on cotton bills of lading
and the news created CONSERVATION
among the bankers and cotton grow
ers of North Texas.
The action is said to be due to the
failure of Knight, Yancey & Company
of Decatur, Ala; Steele, Miller & Com
pany of Corinth Miss, and Durant &
Company Of Albany, N. Y.
1t was further stated that the Texas
Bankers Association will importune
Gov. Campbell to recommend a special
law making the railroads responsible
for the acts of agents and not depend
upon the question of general negli-
gence.
Another proposed remedy is a change
in the antitrust statute of Texas to
enable the surety companies to com.
bine for the purpose of writing insur-
nee on bills Of ladings.

STEEL COMPANY INFLATED

New Work.-A report of appraisers
showing that the assets and properties
of the bankrupt Southern Steel Com
pany, capitalized at $27, 900 1000, are
worth $7,679,38 O was filed in the SUI
preme court.
Moreau has denounced the $27,000,-

scheme" and has asked that it be set
aside as fraudulent and void. He
claims that the stockholders were in
formed that the assets Of the old com
pany we're worth $27 200, 900, but the
report of w. NJ. Drenner and w. w.
Stirling, the appraisers, proves the
contrary.
The Southern Steel Company is an
Alabama corporation and was run in
~dependently of the steel trust. The
panic of 1907 put it into involuntary
bankruptcy. In order to right its az
fairs, a reorganization committee,
headed by James T. Woodward and
other holders of SO, 900, 900 worth of
first mortgage bonds, was appointed.

Memphis, Tenn.-There was an i'm
provement in the cotton crop during
the week in Alabama and states east
ward in Texas and Oklahoma. Else
where little or nothing was gained be-
cause showers were general and kept
labor from the fields for the greater
part of the time. 1t seems certain
hat in the valley states many low
lands can never be redeemed from the
grass. In Mississippi some of the bot
toms are still under water, which is
%receding very slowly.
The great need OF the crop in the
central and eastern belts is cultiva-
ton. There are a few localities that
have not suffered severely either be-
cause the lands were unusually well
drained or because rains were not ex-
cessive, but as a rule all the territory
east of Texas and Oklahoma has been
seriously damaged. For the crop to
recover, dry weather is necessary. The
plant is late and has not set fruit as
usual at this date.
Within the past four weeks North
Carolina and Tennessee have suffered
less than other states east Of the Mis-
sissippi river. Reports from Okla
hOma are brilliant and good from
Texas except in the southwest, where
rain is beginning to be needed, the re-
cent showers having failed to reach
that section of the state.

under suspicion of having poisoned
Miss North, her uncle, Mr.. Harper, E.

Bassi, for disobeying orders, was

very little thought to the threats and

were seized with violent and burning

PATTEN BILLS DEFECTIVE
Eight Indictments Against Cotton Men
Set Aside,

New York.-Indictments against
alleged conspiracy in restraint of
trade, found by the federal grand jury
last month, were dismissed.
Ex-senator SpOOner, counsel for the
bull leaders in cotton. had the indict-

aside as a result of pleas of abate-
ment, filed on July 5, each of thu de-
PENDANTS separately claiming thai the
indictments were not valid, on the
ground that the grand jury was not
legally convoked.
The federal grand jury which in
dicted Patten and the rest is push

1t is learned that sixty subpOpenas
have beer issued for cotton brokers,

milk was not liked very we'll, and hot
water we could not endure.
About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never been
without it since.
I'VE have seven children. Our baby
now eighteen months old would not

her perfectly. She Is today, and ham

Il use about t~wo-thirds Postum and
one-third milk and a teaspoon of sugar.
