unable to nit up or walk. He
had been in declining health
for six years, unable to work

A Serious Cotton Disease Anthracnoss)
and How to Handle It.

There is disease of cotton
which is yearl , attracting in.
creased attention throughout the

It is most . easily recognized
when on the boil, where, it forms
ulcer-like spots. which, as they
age, become pink in the centers.
The spot may enlarge 50 as to af-

eased part of the boil usually
fails to open and often the con-
tents rot. Enquiries from vsri-
GUS sections of the State are be.

Experiment Station concerning
the disease. It has also been es-

Georgia during recent years, 80

is carried from season to season

spread the disease to the whole

is no satisfactory treatment, and

DARE PEOPLE OF AUSTIN TO PROSECUTE
The Company Will Furnish Money to Re.
build and Rehabltate the Town.

Austin, Pa, Oct. Tt il
learned today that the Bsyless
Paper and Wood Pulp company,
whose dam bursted last Saturday
wiping out the citY of Austin
with the sacrifice of scores of lives,
has threatened to leave Austin in
it's ashes and debris and never re-
build if prosecutions for the dia-
aster is brought against it.
"If you prosecute us we will leave
you to your fate.' is the defiant
message that has been spread to
the homeless and helpless citizens
of Austin. stop this talk Of
criminal responsibility, stand up
for the company that built Austin
and we will furnish funds for re-
building, We will open our
mills" is thu other side of the
bargain. That was the bargain
proposed to prominent citezen
of Potter county by one of the
Rayless attorneys
Another amazing story was in
circulation to the eff that Dis
trict Attorney Nelson had declar-
ed that the purpose of the coro.
ner's inquest was not to fix the
criminal responsibility for the dis
aster. When asked about the
story he said: ''In my position
asdistriot attorney I have no feel
ing of persecution against any boby
[ shall simply do my duty. The
purpose of this inquest is simply
50 ascertain if there had been
destruction of property and If any
persons lost their lives in conse.
quence, and also to ascertain what
has been the cause of this destruc.
tion of property and loss of life.
Since it might have been caused
by negligence on the part of the
owners of the dam or in the con.
struction of the dam, or both, all
these may have been to blame or
the cause may have been beyond
the control of any one and conss-
qnsntly a calamity for which no
one she uld be censured."
Austin. Pa, Oct. 5.-In
days work of overhauling the
wreckage here, due to the break
ing of the dam last Saturday and
the resultant flood, five additional
bodies we're accounted for today.
Four complete bodies and the
neither limbs of a woman are in
the morgue tonight in such condi-
tlon that their immediate dispo.
sition has been crd sred. The
dead recovered to date number
fifty, with about twenty-five more
to be accounted for according to
the census by which the oauali-
ties are checked off.

as she read an acceptance from one

heart TO worship at the shrine OF her
young guest. Corinne.
The great room OF Patricia's home
was lighted with severe-looking Co.

danes began to arrive. Men In satin
breeches with large buckled slippers
and heavy white wigs soon talked
sedately with danes In sheer white

Patricia, herself. was beautiful
young Martha Washington as she
stood to greet her guests in the same
costume she had worn on a night not

AS the evening wore on. each male

with whatever ceremony they found
most fitting for the time and place.
When every man had found a girl,
Patricia sat alone in the great sitting
room, the candles burned to half their
original size. One guest had not come
and Patricia was the odd girl.
Presently a replica of George Wash.
ington stood in the doorway. He had

Patricia's head dropped. She dared

o a settee near the log fire.
Still she did not speak.

Patricia continued to live In the

Her friends were largely among the
