JAZZ. SENTENCE FOR ABDUCTOR
OF YOUNG GIRL.
Her Preacher Affinity Doffs His Dis
graced Ministerial Garb for Prison

graCed Ministerial CARP Tor Prison
Stripes.
A dispatch from Shelby, n. c., says
Rev. B. L. Padgett, the holiness min
lister indicted under several charges
for illegal relations with pretty Miss
Carrie Stockton of Kings Mountain,
was convicted of the most serious Of
the charges against him in the su-
perior court of Cleveland county at
that place. Judge Webb sentenced
Padgett to two years in the State
fpenitentiary, and Solicitor Wilson
cancelled the other indictments
against him.
Padgett is a tall, rather handsome
man, with an intellectual face. He
first knew the Stockton girl when she
was mere child, twelve years ago,
and has been going TO her home in
Kings Mountain since that time. Some
time ago he held series of meetings
there and boarded at the Stockton
home, several m ambers Of the family
being members of his church. He
seemed to be infatuated with this lit
tie daughter and made gifts of cloth
ing and jewelry.
There are other Indictments stand
ing against Padgett in Burke County,
N. c., and Greenville, S. c., both
growing out OF, his relations with the
Stockton girl. The charge against
, him at Greenville is for kidnapping
the girl, the arrest having been made
in Atlanta. He will be turned over to
the Greenville authorities when he
completes his sentence in North Car
olina. The charge against him in
Burke County is more serious one
than that on which he was convicted
at Shelby, having been a capital Of
fense prior to a charge of statue a
few years ago.
During the trial Mrs. Padgett and
his daughter sat besides him and lis
tened intently to the evidence. Many
people were at Shelby from Kings
Mountain, where the sentiment is
strong against him, and the court
room was crowded throughout the
hearing of the evidence. The Stock

ent of the spinning room in one of the

Hattie Parcel the 15-year-old girl

TEN examination. According to DR..
Post, the girls wounds indicated

which the purchasers thought would
enable them to sell at q profit.
1 don't at all know what the prac-
tice is among the cotton growers in
your State, for instance, respecting
the sale Of their product. When
last had occasion to examine the
question, which was few years ago,
the crop was pretty generally sold to
the cotton factors before it was pick
ed, the price being based upon the
prevailing price of the previous year,
and increased or decreased according
to the ratio between the crop produc-
ed in the country the preceding year,
and the estimated crop Of the current
year.
Generally speaking, I take 1t that
the bulls" and "bears" are the bro
kers who, on the cotton exchange, at
a given time, are seeking to increase
and depress prices respectively. The
bears" are trying to beat down the
prices in order TO buy at lower fig
ure and the bulls" are trying to run
prices up in order to sell at higher
figure.
The interests Of the spinners would
be, generally, with the "baars," and
the interests Of the factors, or cotton
dealers, would be with the bulls" A
bear" movement would be initiated
if, for example, concerns dealing in
cotton had borrowed very largely on
a close margin and, for some reason
or other, were compelled TO sell for
the purpose Of meeting other loans,
and movement, once begun, toward
the lowering Of prices, would be apt
to gain headway because other peo-
pie, having cotton on margin, would
be fearful of greater loss if they wait
ed until the price went lower, and so
would rush into the market determin-
ed TO get rid of their product at a
given time.
How a bear pool would operate,
| confess do not quite understand,
nor do know of the existence Of any
such pool. BY. pool | mean group
of men who. for the purpose Of con-
trolling the price of a commodity, III
their own interest, buy a sufficiently
large amount OF the property to en-
able them to control the price in the
market. | write. giving you just my
impressions Of the subject, because
you may have fuller knowledge than
!. and should be very glad TO have
you give me any detailed Information
available TO you, going to show the
existence and operation of any combi
nation formed for the purpose Of de-
pressing the price OF cotton.
In the proceeding against those en-
gagged in the so-called "Dull cotton
pool which the government brought
4 year or so ago, the United States
circuit court in New York held that
corners" were illegal and immoral,
but that a combination formed to
corner and enhance the price Of cot
ton did not operate in restraint of in
terstate commerce even though, as
was alleged in the Indictment, the
necessary effect, as we'll as the intend
ed purpose, Of the combination was to
increase the price which the spinners
had to pay and. as matter of fact,
by so increasing the prize large per-
centage of the spinners had refrained
from manufacture and had thereby
been restrained in commerce among
the several States. An appeal from
the judgment Of the court, sustain
ing a demurrer to the essential counts
of the indictment, has been argued in

BY Associated Press.

Washington, Oct 11.-General in
quiry into the control by railway COM
panies Of the docking, wharfage and
pier facilities at various ports on the
Gulf OF Mexico, Mississippi river and
Atlantic coast, including Galveston
New Orleans, Mobile, Memphis and
Philadelphia, has been instituted by
the interstate commerce commission.
1t involves principles of vital import
ance to railroads and shippers.
The Investigation was based on a
Mobile chamber of commerce com
plant that the Mobile and Ohio and
the Southern Railway refused to ship
rers shipside freight without switch
ing charges to other docks than those
which they control. This regulation
prevented tramp steamers from TAX
ing cargoes and eliminated the compe-
titfon Of lines Of steamers which have
no through rate arrangements with the
defendant railways
For several weeks the commission
has investigated through its agents
with a view to determining whether
the railroads are discriminating against
shippers or steamship companies in
the delivery of freight to docks which
they do not control. The commission
Will take testimony at Mobile Novem-
Der 20, and it's order in that case will
apply to other ports where similar con-
ditions exist.

Today the foreign residents had not

it indicates that the rebellious move

the dissatisfaction in the troops will
spread to this city and every effort is

to protect Hankow. The foreign con-
