independence League in session In
that city voted early Wednesday
morning to put a straight ticket in
the field and not to endorse the Re-
publican ticket, as had been propos-
ed. The vote was 212 in favor OF
a straight ticket. as against "a Tor
an endorsement Of the Republicans.
It is officially announced that the In
dependence League will nominate
John j. Hopper for Governor. VIM

The common report is that Heart
had promised the support of the In

in the field by Roosevelt, but II
looks as if the old turn coat VII

COTTON IS KING
VALUE OF COTTON LANDS ARE
BOUND TO IENHANCE,

Mr.. Jas. L. Jackson, of Augusta, Ga,
Is Very Optimistic: Regarding Out.
look for the South.
The Augusta Herald says Vice
President Jas. U. Jackson, of the
local and interurban electric railway
system, who is just back from a trip
to New York, gives out a most OPP
timistic statement regarding the fu-
ture Of the South.
Mr.. Jackson says that the wealthy
men of Wall Street are turning their
attention toward the South and cot
ton growing n one New Yorker has
recently purchased abut 40, 900 acres
Of Georgia land on. which to grow
| cotton.
Mr.. Jackson says that he has talk
ed with a large number. of financiers
in New York and they. agree that the
South is the coming portion Of the
country and they have turned their
attention to this section.
The West was 'overated, accord
ing to the statements of leading men
in New York, and the South will de-
velop in the e a future in greater
proportions and much more rapidly
than did the West.
MI. Jacksn says that the belief in
! Gotham that there will be no more
10 cents cotton Is fixed and the gen.
eral belief seems to- be that 20 cents
will soon be reached and one promi-
nent New Yorker. says that 80 and
40 cents will be seen in the not far
distant future.
People who own Southern lands
have fortunes in their very hands,
said MI. Jackson, and cotton will so
rapidly enhance in value in the near
future that the lands will be more
valuable than ever before.
I understand that the average
number Of bushels Of wheat that can
be produced per acre in the West
is IL. and the price Of one dollar
per bushel is usually secured, max
ing the income from an acre Just a
dozen dollars.
In the South where land is well
cultivated and highly fortified we
make a bale Of cotton to the acre,
get SIS for the staple and from 40
and SO cents per bushel for the seed.
The Northern people are begin.
ming to realize nor and more what
a wonderful country is the South and
the production of cotton is going to
increase and the price will increase
because the world is rapidly growing
and ninety per cent. of the people
/ OF the world use cotton in some way.
Cotton Is indeed king.

BOIL WEEVIL on THE RUN.
Work Of the Experts is Effective in
the West.

The following statement Of boil
weevil dispersion up to September
Is, 1910, is made by w. Dwight
Pierce, bureau of entomology, Unit
ed States Government laboratory.
Dallas. Texas:
No work has been done upon the
line of infection of Oklahoma. The
infested line in Arkansas has fallen
back about fifteen miles off The weS-
tern corner but slightly passes the
1909 line in the vicinity of Little
Rock, and from there comedies with
the 1909 line until it reaches La
mont, in Bolivar County, In Misslss-
ippi. The line runs on a diagonal
from Lamont to the southwestern
line of Sunfower County, thence to
Beelake, in Holmes County, thence
to Lexington through Sails. in At
lanta County, then turns abruptly
south at Plattsburs. in Winston
County, and then passes three miles
east of Newton. in Newton Cohnty
halfway between Heidelburs and
Stringer. in Jasper County, crosses
into Wayne County directly east OF
Ellisville Junction, and probably
leaves the State of Mississippi at
S~tateline. In Alabama the infesta-
ton crosses the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad at Fruitdale, in Washing
ton County, turning south passing
east of Citronelle to the head of Mo-
bile Bay.
The line is moving SO rapidly east
ward that even at the present writ
ing it has probably moved twenty or
more miles further. A statement
of this nature will be issued as soon
as possible following the 18th of
each month until the dispersion is
ended.

COTTON CROP SHORT.
Smaller Than the Crop Made and
Gathered Last Year.

Gathered Last Year.
According to the figures issued by
the census bureau of the cotton gin
ned this season, which is published
on the first page of this issue, it ap-
pears that up to September rs there
was a shortage of 265,939 bales, as
compared with last year. And last
year, it should be remembered, was
a short crop year.
The total numbes of bales ginned
this season was 2,302,21l, so the
shortage is more than one-tenth. II
the same ratio should hold good the
remainder of the a it would
mean that the crop this year will fall
short about a million bales below
last years crop.
And this seems to be just about
what is to be expected. The last
government report on the condition
Of the growing crop also shows a
SICdI uClSl W. IhO
is already a shortage of ten per cent.
In the cotton picked up to the pres
ent, an equal shortage is indicated
in the portion of the crop that re-
mains to be picked.
A shortage is reported from all
the states except Texas and Tennes-
see. The Texas crop last year was
far below the normal. and even the
gains made this year still leave il
below an avesage crop. The short
age in all the other states shows that
in yield. compared with last year,
they will lose more than Texas gains,
So by the first actual figures, says
the Augusta Herald. in regard % the
cotton crop the certainty is present
ed that the yield this years. This
means that cotton will be cotton be-
fore this time next year.

TAKES HIS own LIFE
DESPERATE, AFTER SHOOTING
OFFICERS, SHOOTS SELF.
Troops Called Out at OcaIa, Fla. TO
Capture William Summeriin, Who

is Barricaded in His House.
After fatally wounding Deputy
| Sheriff Hudson and ex-Sherif Cor
don at his home in the suburbs CT
Ocala, Fla, william Summerlin
placed the muzzle of a Winchester
rifle in his mouth and blew his
head off.
For three hours Summerlin was
barricaded in his house, where ne
successfully residted The efforts of
the police department and sheriff i
and sheriff's deputies to arrest him.
Firing on every one in sight, it
was finally decided by the officers to
call out the Ocala Rifles and sui
round the house.
This was done and shortly after
nightfall the Gordon closed in, the
door was broken down and Summer.
Inns body was found lying on the
floor with half his head blown of.
Early in the afternoon Deputy
Sheriff Hudson went to Summerlin s
home to serve a warrant for some
minor offense. Summerlin warned
the officer not to come into his yard,
and when Hudson started in he was
shot down. Ex-Sherif Gordon, hear.
ing the shot, went to the assistance
of Hudson.
While bending over the PROSTATE
form of the deputy. Gordon was shot
down, the bullet inficting a fatal
wound. Seeing the two men lying
PROSTATE, Summerlin left the house
and secured the rifle carried by
Deputy Hudson.
Barricading himself, he offered
stubborn resistance to all who al
tempt his arrest.
A large crowd quickly gathered
around the house, keeping a safe
distance. as Summerlin fired at ev-
cry one in sight. A guard was
thrown up around the house ant.
several volleys were poured into it.

Shortly after nightfall a concerted
Summerlin. A rush was made for
the door. 1t was quickly battered
in. Inside the body Of Summerlin
was found weltering in a pool Of
his own blood. He had placed the
muzzle of the rifle in his mouth and
fired.
The two wounded officers were
hurried TO a local hospital, where an
examination was made and their
condition announced as critical.

Of VagabOndage Is Urged.
Russia is far behind other civil
lied countries OF the world in the
matter of decreasing the number of
death sentences, according to stats
tics given to the international Prison
congress at it's session Thursday by
DR.. Frederick H. Wines, of Philadel-
phia.
I'm no country does the frequency
and enormous number of executions
excite such horror as in Russia,
| said DR.. Wines. Nowhere else is
there waged so determined and un-
| ceasing war against the: employment
of capital punishment for the sup
| preston of crime This is more wor-
| thy of remark in view of the fact
that the penal code limits the appli-
cation to political offenders. And
yet, in virtue of the system, by
which ~offenses not political a be
punished by martial law, even in
time Of peace, the number Of exc
cutions is truly extraordinary.
1.-THE official statistics show that
in 1906-1908. 2.10S persons were le-
gally executed. So at least. it is
stated, in one of the manuscripts
placed in my hands. In another.
the number of military executions
in 81 years from 1874 to 1908 ID
given as 2,67S of whom 10 per cent:
only we're in the army; 2.410 OF
them were civilians; and 2.460 were
punished for infraction Of the COM
mon law"
DR.. Wines gave an interesting re-
port on other countries, but explain!
ed that statistics of homicide for the
United States were Invaluable at
present. He declared. however, that
in spite of statements to the con-
trary, there was strong evidence that
crime in this country was on the de.
crease.
Accepting the principle Of condi-
tional release ON parole as indispen-
sable, the congress- approved of these
resolutions.
The SUPPRESSION Of vagabondage
and street begging was advocated
as necessary for social preservation.
The congress endorsed unanimous
~ the recommendation of Section
8, that tramps should be classified
and that a system Of identification
should he kept by the police Of all
cities and towns. Work hous>s FIR
this class we're advocated with ag!i.
culture as the leading industry.
This is Of especial significance Z"
the United States. where the farm
colony plan for segresating tramps
and burglars and making them work
RAPIDLY is becoming an important So
cial question.
