COTTON FAMINE PREDICTED.
Raw Material Scarce and Merchants
Shelves Are Bare.

New Orleans, May 25.-W. P.
Brown, the we'll known bull leader in
cotton, one Of the first to predict Is
cents for the summer months Of this
season, Is once more a daily visitor
on the cotton exchange, and the Cos
sip of the floor is that he has an &C
tive interest in the market. He seems
to have almost completely recovered
from his recent illness, which was
the cause Of his return to his home
here from New York, where, during
the winter, he was engaged in large
operations in the cotton market.
From his utterance since he left
his sick bed, Mr.. Brown has not
changed his attitude toward cotton.
He Is as bullish as ever. lie said:
Back In harness again and we'll
once more. cannot see anything
ahead to make me feel bearish on
the old cotton crop. There Is moth
ing but famine ahead, and not only
famine in raw cotton, but also In
finished cotton. Merchants have been
drawing IN their supplies without re-
placing SO long that their shelves are
bare. This point is fully as import
ant as Is the situation in raw cot
ton itself. don't want to- say how
high the old crop Is going. In fact,
| don't want to say anything about
prices. Away back in the first Of
the season | went On record regard
ing my views on the value of cotton
and present quotations for July prove
that was correct
Regarding the new crop Mr.. Brown
is extremely conservative. He said:
ut is Altogether too early in tho
season to say much about the new
crop. There Is only II thing about
the new crop that we really know,
and that Is that after such famine
conditions as we have bchn facing
for the last year or two, the world
needs a huge crop. We don't know
whether that huge crop Is to be rails

LOST CASE AND A FORTUNE.
w. Il. Jones, About to Begin Life
Sentence, Lost III Spcculattons.

Spartanburg, May 25.-W. r..
Jones, the wealthy Union county
planter, who will be taken to the
State penitentiary at Columbia next
week to serve a life term for poison
ing his wife. bears no malice towards
anybody, and has decided to submit
to the Judgment Of the courts grace
fully although he declares he Is in
nocent of his wife's murder.
1t was learned yesterday that
Jones had lost an amount estimated
at about $1,000 900 through specula-
ton In cotton and wheat. He has
appointed the Nicholson Trust Com
pany, of Union, trustee Of his estate,
and instructed the company to pay
his debts out of the income Of his
plantations.
Jones owns about 5000 acres of
land, 5000 acres being contained in
a single plantation. The annual in
come from his property varies from
$4,000 to $4,000, it is said.
According to S%partanburg friends,
Jones turned to speculation in an eff
fort not only to recover the attor-
neys' fees and other expenses of his
trial and appeals to the Supreme
Court. but also to divert his mind
from his trouble. At first, 1t is said,
he was successful, but later the tide
turned and he sustained heavy
losses.
Jones has been confined In the
Union county Jail since the death Of
his wife on the night VI July 4, 1908.
He has enjoyed many privileges. it
ts said, and In the early part of his
m prisonment drank heavily. His
n arket operations were conducted
from his cell.
Jones is now Al years old. He Is
said to be a tall, handsome man and
Is well educated. He attended the
University Of South Carolina and
Davidson College North Carolina),
but did net graduate from either.
Because Of his wealth and promi-
hence, as we'll as the cold-blooded-
ness Of the crime. his case and his
long fight have aroused much inter-
est.

Mexico City, May 25~.--President
Poririo Diaz, In Il letter read by the
President OF the Chamber of Depu-

Presidency Of the Republic OF Mex

Every one who had predicted an
uproar and demonstration when the
announcement should be made, but
the words Of the President announc-
Ing the resignation were followed by
a dead silence.
Streets leading to the hall we're
filled with people and the news thai
Diaz was at last no more the Presi-
dent was the signal for the widest
shouting. There was no violence nor
destruction of property.
The motion was offered to accept
the resignation. One hundred and
two of them did not express them
selves. They we're Benito Jaurez, a
descendant of the President, and Con-
ceptione Val Velle. AS their names
were called the Legislators arose and

"Sir: The Mexican people, who
generally have covered me with hon
ors, who proclaimed me as their
leader during the international war,
who periodically assisted me in ali
works undertaken to develop Mexi-
can industry and the commerce of
the republic, establish its credit, gain

ence In the exercise Of the supreme
executive power Is the cause OF this
Instruction.
81 do not know Of any fact imput-
able to me which could have caused
this social change, but admitting
that I may be unwittingly culpable,
such a possibility makes me the least
able to reason out and decide my,
own c~ulpability. Therefore, in ac-
cordance with the Federal constitu-
ton, | come before this body to re-
sign unreservedly the office of Con-
stitutional President of the republic,
with which the national vote hon
ored me, which l do with all the
more reason, since, in order to con-
tinue in office, 1t would be necessary
to shed Mexican blood, exhaust Mex
lean and expose its policy
to international complications.
81 hope that when the passions
which are inherent to- all revolutions
have been calme', a more conscien-

the national mind a correct judg-
