BANKERS DENOUNCE PLAN.

New Orleans, Sept 18.-Denouncing
the Liverpool cotton bills of lading
validation and central clearing house
plan as an extraordinary and unique
insurance against the results of the
negligence of the European cotton
buyers in dealing with irresponsible
firms, and declaring it reflection up
on the honesty and integrity of the
Southern cotton exporters, the con-
ference of Southern bankers, export
ers and cotton men, held at the cotton
exchange today, adopted decis;7 reso-
lutions placing themselves on record
as being unalterably opposed to the
scheme, and refusing absolutely to
have anything to do with it.
The plan was branded as being re-
pugnant to sound business principles,
offensive to reputable and honorable
business men, in that it assumes all
cotton shippers are dishonest until the
New York validating bureau has
pronounced them Otherwise.
A militant resistance through a
thorough organization of !terests
was suggested to fight the Liverpool
scheme.

How short, yet how sweet! She
leaves her mother and many relatives
and friends to mourn her sweet death.
Darling Laura, she has gone,
To her bright and Heavenly home,
Oh, how we miss our dear little ones
smiling face
But she's gone to meet her father and
dear little sisters,
On that bright and happy shore.
Sad and lonely is our home since, lit
tie Laura's gone,
Her place can never more be filled
Her little crib is empty row,
Her little clothes are all laid by,
Her mothers hope and JOY
In deaths cold arms do lie.
Through all her hours of suffering,
She never murmured, she bore it pa
tientIy
And when the Angel of Death came,
She smiled sweet smile
And passed into the arms Of her Saw
Jour.
Another little darling lamb is gone,
With fresh roses in her hand,
To dwell with her Savious;
On that bright and happy shore,
Another little darling babe,
Is sheltered in the grave.
God needed one more angel child,
Amidst his shiny band;
So he bent with loving smile,
And clasped our little darling Laura:

Yet again in heaven We hope to NEE
her.

HYDE CONVICTED OF MURDER.
Anderson Man Will Hang for Double
Killing-Althcugh Insanity Plea
Was Entered.

Anderson, Sept. 19.-Samuel \.
Hyde, confessed murderer of his young
wife and her father, was convicted by
a Jury late today and sentenced to be
hanged. The death sentence will be
pronounced by Judge Prince tomorrow
morning.
The reading of the verdict had no
visible effect on the prisoner, who said
later that the finding was just one,
that he was guilty of murder and ex-
pected to be convicted. Under the laws
of South Carolina, pleas of guilty in
murder cases are forbidden.
Hyde's Crime.
The crime for which Hyde was con-
victed was committed on the night OF
July 18 last. While Mrs. Hyde and her
sister, Willie Beasley, aged Is, lay
asleep in one bed, and her parents,
W. V. BeasIey and wife, were asleep
in another bed in the same room, Hyde
entered and fired three shots into MS
wife;s body, killing her instantly, and
fred twice at her sister, both shots
taking effect, but not seriously wound
ing her. Reloading his revolver, he
shot and killed Beasley, who was at
tempting to disarm him.,
Mrs. Beasley Witness.
Mrs. Beasley was the principal wit
ness for the prosecution at the trial
today, describing in detail the events
on the night of the tragedy. Sheriff
King told of Hyde surrendering to
him, and saying he planned the muir
der of his wife, and was well pleased
with the deed.
Insanity Plea.
The State rested it's case at / o'clock
and the defence introduced several
witnesses, who testified in support of
-, the claim Of the prisoners counselthat
he was victim of hereditary insanity.
Following the argument by the at
torneys and the judges charge, the
Jury retired, and ffty-five minutes lat
er returned verdict of guilty.
Said Witnesses Lied.
The prisoner as ne sat by his old
deaf father accepted the verdict with
out any tremor and without any
change of expression. Before being
led from the court room to his cell in
the county Jail, he stated to this cor
respondent that the verdict is just
one, that he is guilty of murder and
that he expected a conviction. 81
didn't take the stand On my behalf, y
Hyde said, because I didn't want to
be classed along with these witnesses
for the State, who swore lies on me.
They stated that I had deserted my
wife and that they hadn't taken her
away from me. That is not so. There
is one thing certain, they won't be able
to separate me from my wife any more
and when the sheriff hangs me it will
be the happiest man that has ever
been hung. The court appointed Mr.
Rice to plead my case. He did nigh
ty we'll. He made a good fight but a
useless one. I know I was guilty o1
murder and I know that deserved to
be hung"

Death Dealing Heat

The loss Of more than 500 lived
is to be credited for the gread
heat wave Of July / to 5, 1911,l
which official weather advices
say will abate somewhat Friday.
The torrid period will be menu
orable in weather annals for its
wide extent, its long duration,
its record breaking temperatures
in many places and the long list
of fatalities which it has caused.
The hundreds of news dis
patches which cities from the
North Atlantic seaboard west to
the plains states have exchang.
ed during the past four days, ac-
count, according to a careful re-
view tonight for the deaths Of
431 persons from the heat and
eighty from drowning-a total
of 511.
Incomplete as the record is
from the failure of many points
to report specifically the number
of such deaths, it is as serious a
showing as is remembered for
many years, if not a record.
The number of prostrations is
still more difficult to compute,
but from the review of the dis
patches it appears that thousands
have been seriously overcome by
the heat in the great cities. -

WHY WE ARE ron Nh. PERCY.

We have been asked why. we
are supporting Mr.. Percy for the
senate and as we have good and
sufficient reasons for our position
we do not hesitate to give them
First. We recognize in Mr..
Percy a man of great ability,
learned beyond his fellows in
matters of state, and with con-
victions that no democrat could
object to.
Second. He is already a mem
Der of the senate and during his
short term Of eighteen months
has demonstrated his fitness to
represent Mississippi with due
credit and honors to the state.
Third. His committe assign
ments in the senate on agricul
ture, rivers and harbors and 9TH
err important committees, places
him in a position to help his PEG.
pie now, whereas, a new man
could not reach such committee
assignments for years.
Fourth. Mr.. Percy is an ora
tor that convinces by the power
of his logic. his sincerity of pur-
pose, his conservatism, his fair
ness, his clearness of thought,
his simplicity of manner, and his
unquestioned integrity.
Mississippi has sent her great
est men to the senate and the
standard should not be lowered.
With John Sharp Williams and
Leroy Percy there the state has
her ablest men to combat her
battles and we feel that a grave
mistake would be made if Sen
ator Percy is not reelected. No
state in the union is so ably rep
resented and the entire country
looks to Mississippi for leader
ship in securing those reforms
in legislation for which the dem
ocratic party has so long fought.

vARDAMAN ON BISHOP GALLO
WAY.

The late beloved Bishop Gallo
way was one of the greatest Bish-
ops of the Methodist church.
He was a native born Mississip
plan; educated in this state and
lived and died here. He was
not only a great bishop. but one
of the greatest men Mississippi
ever produced. He did more for
her moral u%pbuilding than any
man who lived within her bor-
ders. He led in the fight for
prohibition. He had much to do
with the establishment and sue
cess of Millsaps College. 1t was
Bishop Galloway who delivered
an address on the life and char
acter of Jefferson Davis. which
alone was enough to immortalize
him. His life was spent IN serv-
ing his God and doing what he
could for the upbuilding of the
church and State. He loved Mis-
sissippi and her people as few
men were capable. On one oc-
casion Governor Vardaman re-
fers to him as: Chasing around
the country with a belly full of
hot air and yellow legged chick
ems. airing his views on the me-
gro question" Bishop Galloway
was as much in favor of the dis
reimbursement of the negro as
Governor Vardaman, but because
he disagreed with the governor
as to his methods, etc., that is
the manner in which he refers
to him.
Do you believe Jefferson Davis,
Lamar, George, Walthall, None
or McLaurin would have used
such language in reference to a
minister of the gospel? Doesn't
such language evidence the fact
that Governor Vardaman is ex
IRENE: that he is unwise; that he
has no respect for those who diff
fer with him, and that he will
make any sort of appeal to arouse
race prejudice in order to pro-
mote his own cause? He knew
that Bishop Galloway was as
much opposed to the negro hav
ing the ballot as he was. He
knew that Bishop Galloway was
as much in favor Of white SUI
premacy as he was.
