LITTLE CHANGE IN
 ATTITUDE LIKELY
United States Will Not Recognize New Republic of China Just at
 Present

Washington, September 23.-The state department is not likely to change it's att titude toward the new Chinese republic, despite the appeal sent by the China so- ciety of America to President Taft ask ing for the formal recognition of tEe Oriental government. Officials feel that the appeal is founded upon a misconcep- ton of the conditions existing in China.
 The United States has been in cont munication with all the other great pow CTS it in determination to insure the ex- istence of the new republic as an inde- pendent government and they all have agreed that recognition should be deferred until the present provisional govern ment gives form to constitutional gov ernment.
 Meanwhile it is pointed out that through Minister Calhoun and the Chinese lega- tion here the state department is doing business with Yuan Shi Kai's government as it would with any other.

PUSH FAIR CAMPAIGN

Fort Payne, September 23.-(SpeciaD The outlook for the cotton crop for DeKalb county is not very promising just at present, owing to the fact of having had so much hot dry weather and very little moisture for several months; thereby causing premature opening of the cotton bolls. making the fruitage faulty and producing a short staple with soft seed. instead of the long fleecy staple usually found in this section. The yield which earlier in the season promised to be 80 or 90 per cent has fallen far short of expectations and it is now believed that 1t will not reach more than 85 per cent.

WOULD INQUIRE INTO
COAL STRIKE
Congress Asked to Investigate Report
of West Virginia
Peonage.

Washington, Aug. q. Representative
Wilson Of Pennsylvania. chairman of the
House labor committee, has introduced
a resolution for committee of five rep
resentatives to investigate the Paint
Creek coal field strike in West Virginia.
The resolution would direct the com.
mittee to ascertain whether peonage is
there and whether treaty OBJ.
legations with foreign countries are being
violated by the treatment of foreign
workmen.
Americans and foreigners have been
barred access to the Mucklow, w. Va.
postofiice, according to allegations quot
ed in the resolution, "by the use OF gat-
Ting guns, clubs and strong-arm men,
known as Baldwin guards"
The resolution carries provision for
$4,000 for expense of the inquiry 1t
calls for recommendations as to whether
any federal official can be of service in
the strike, in which, it has
been alleged the mine operators have
held American and foreign workmen in
peonage.

was operated on for the removal OF a
cataract on his left eye. Septic poison
ing resulted and the patient rallied only
occasionally. The general realized the
end was near and often spoke Of MS
work as finished. His home was at Had
ley Wood, eight miles from London.
Interest now centers in the question
of his successor. The general several
years ago nominated a successor, plae-
ing the name in a sealed envelope with
instructions that it was not to be opened
until after his death. 1t is unknown
as yet who this choice is but it is

WINCHESTER GUNS AND
Ammunition, the First Choice of Expert
enced Hunters.

Name over the prominent hunters and
explorers and inquire what guns and
ammunition they use, and you will find
that most of them use the famous Win
chester guns and ammunition Why Is
this Are such experienced men actual
ed by sentiment In buying their shoot
ing equipments No. they want guns
and ammunition that they know can be
depended upon, and in making such
choice lies the reason for much of their
success. They select Winchester guns
and ammunition because they know they
are absolutely reliable. Then, too, Win
chester guns and ammunition are made
in ealibers and sizes for all kinds Of
shooting, which gives full range of
selection. Another point about Vim
chester guns and ammunition is they
are moderate in price although unsur-
passed in material workmanship and
finish. The oft.used expression Shoots
like a Winchester indicates the gem
eral opinion held OF Winchester fire
arms. 1t should be a guiding stone in
selecting an equipment for fall hunt
ing.

FREIGHT RATE RISE
MAY BE SUSPENDED
Commerce Commission Will Make Thor
ough Inquiry into Proposed Trans
continental Tariffs.

Washington, Aug. 2l.--Trsns CONT
mental railways are facing suspension
by the interstate commerce commission
of advances in freight rates proposed
recently. The new rates, to become eff
fective Sept 2, would increase the trans
portation charges of many commodities
from the Atlantic seaboard to Pacific
coast terminal. They would make also
some reductions to inter Rocky Noun
tain destinations.
Vigorous protests are being received
from eastern manufacturers and ship
pers, and from Pacific coast jobbers and
merchants. 1t appears likely that many
of the proposed increases will be sus-
pended pending thorough inquiry.
Generally the increase would be made
by the cancellation of existing commod
ity rates, thereby forcing the commodi-
ties to take the higher class rates.

200 MEN ON TRIAL
FOR SELLING VOTES
Many of the Number Plead Guilty and
Are Let Off After Paying

Bristol, Va, Aug. 81. Overriding a
motion to certify the election bribery
indictments for trial before justices Of
the peace, Judge H. A. Skeen has be-
gun the trial at Jenesville, Va, Of near
ly 200 men indicted on charges of SELL
ing their votes by a special grand jury
last December
A number of the accused have ac-
cepted Judge Skeen's proposition to
compromise their cases and have entered
pleas of guilty. They probably will
be given the minimum fine and one
year in which to pay.
1t is believed that many more of those
indicted will plead guilty and accept the
minimum fine. Other indictments are
expected when another special grand
jury is impanelled.
