Mir. Bell1s said he had not brought the matter to the atten- ticn of the interstate commerce com mission because he had learned of it crly recently.
 He declared the railroad did no. charge by gross rates on sugar sbio- Inents, and that this meant q saving of considerable money to the Amer ican Sugar Refining company. He wa, got sure, he said. but the independent. received similar tare rebates.

 Following this' Professor Duggar dis oussed the planting, cultivation and feed ing value of soy beans, cowpeas. and vel vet beans.
 The cotton question is not without inter est to the farmers. In fact it is not de- sifahle for the farmer 10 quit entirely the cotton business.

Washington, August 5.-Cross-examina- ton of George P. McCabe. solicitor of the agricultural department, which be- gar today before the House committee on expenditures in the agricultural de- partment, will be continued tomorrow by counsel for pr. Harvey ". Wiley, chief chemist of the government.
 From the attitude taken towards the close of today's hearing by Henry F Davis of this city, who, with former Representative W. P Hepburn of Iowa, is representing Dr. Wiley in the investigation, 1t was apparent that all effort would be made to show there is nc authority or law for the system that has been established in the department fol the administration of the pure food law.
 Mr. McCabe testified today as to the exact charges against pr. Wiley, namely, that as chief of the bureau of chemistry. he had made contract with pr. Rusby, scientific investigator, at higher per diem rate than the law permits.
 When the decisions of the bureau of chemistry and of the Remsen board diff fer, which controls?" asked Mir Floyd of Solicitor McCabe.
 That is a question that should be ad- dressed to the Secretary of Agriculture.
 (Which did control In the case of ben Zoate of soda?
 ''The Remsen board.
 The witness said he attended meet ing of the Association of the State Dairy and Food commissioners as Denver and spoke in favor of the use of benzoate of sooa in his official capacity with and under the orders of Secretary Wilson.
 MT. McCabe said he was asked by Dr. Wiley whether he could be compelled to testify in the Curtis and William cases in Indiana, and he advised Dr. Wiley that he could not be compelled to be a witness.
 "Dr. Wiley refused on the strength of my opinion to go to Indiana, but was ordered to go by the district court said Mir McCabe. T will say very frankly that did not want Dr. Wiley to testify ia this case.'
 "Why?"
 Because. I did not want him to give testimony interpretation to the ruling of Secretary Wilson and the three secre- taries," (cabinet officers). l

UPON PAST LIEE or
DIR. BOYD AS PRINTED IN
THIS PAPER
Slater "Taken i'm"
by George Waters, of Nashville,
Whom he Thought Was Being Un-
Justly Prosecuted in tho Fight to
Gust Him From the Schools OF that
City.

Hopklnsvllle, KY, August T.
Some time ago, in the columns OF
the Advocate, published at Charles,
ton, w. Va, under my signature,
caused to be printed story with ref
erence to the George Waters case at
Nashville, severely criticising the
stand taken in that matter by the
Nashville Globe, in which some state
ments were made with reference to
the past life Of the Rev. r. II. Boyd,
-. d., secretary treasurer of the Ma
t1onal Baptist Publishing Board.
In using the statement, it was
made clear that l was quoting Mr..
Waters, who asked certain questions
of the Rev. Dr. Boyd, evidently
meaning to show that the same rule
that had applied in the case of DR..
Boyd, should likewise apply to his
(Waters) case
Upon representations made to me
by DR.. Boyd, and after investigation
made by myself to ascertain the au-
thenticity Of the statements | had
unWlttingly made, | find absolutely
there was no truth in the implied
suggestions Of Mr.. Waters questions,
which | had used. If there is any
truth in them, the parties furnishing
them to me directly and Indirectly
have not only failed to produce them,
after my repeated requests, but have
neglected to reply to any of my let
ters with reference to the matter.
l am very glad to make this state
ment, because, first Of my desire to
do the right thing, and second to con-
serve the good standing reputation
OF DR.. Boyd, who was necessarily in
jured to some extent by the publica-
tion, however unWittingly made, Of a
statement that was not true.
1t Is a matter Of sincere regret to
NE that in the first place, / used any
statement Of that character, without
first being assured Of it's authenticity,
further than that of the gentlemen,
quest for some kind Of a statement
l wish 1t perfectly understood in this
case that | am anxious only to serve
the cause Of justice-justice to DR..
Boyd first, and to my own standing in
The next instance
| wish to state further, that I was
moved in the publication Of the arti-
Gle, simply by the desire to help Mr..
Waters, whom I believed to have
been unjustly and mercilessly per-
secuted, and that no money consider
alton, Of whatever nature was the
cause Of the story. Mr. Waters, nor
any one else has given me one cent
of money on account of the story
appearing in the Advocate.
