ATTACHED HIS FAMILY.
Florence Negro Kills Cow and Then
Attempts to Slay Family.

Robert Smith, better known to the
police as Jim Williams, is in Jail at
Florence charged with an attempt to
murder his entire family. The ne
gro, who was charged with assault
ing his own daughter in the recent
court, and pleaded guilty, received a
short sentence of two years and he
broke away from the chain gang and
returned home. He is terror to the
negroes in the vicinity of his home
and there are very terrible tales told
of his Immature. crimes against his
own family.
1t was stated in the recent court
that the officers Of the law had much
difficulty in getting negroes to testify
against him, that he was so great a
terror. The judge, however. in con-
sideration of his pleading guilty, SEN
fenced him to two years. He broke
guard at the first opportunity and
made bee line for home to take ven
geance on his family.
He killed the COW, the only means
of support of his family since his in
generation, because it got in his way
as he entered the premises, and with
the same bludgeon he attacked his
wife in the bed with baby and his
oldest daughter. He has probably
killed the baby, but the others will
get over it, it is thought. His son
Jumped out of bed and ran to town to
tell the police and Sheriff Burch soon

been waiting with their grips in the
cloak rooms and their trunks at the
station, filed dejectedlv out of the
chamber. Some left Washington de-
spite the situation, while others can
celled their reservations.
Cotton states leaders on both sides
of the capitol asserted that they
would continue their fight. In the
House the Southerners demand the
passage of amendment to the cur
rency law broadening the credit
power of banks in the federal reserve
system. These amendments, in addi-
ton to increasing the amount of cur.
rency a bank may issue on CONNER
cial paper to 100 per cent. of its cap
ital and surplus, would add to the
credit power of the reserve system by
allowing member banks to deposit IN
reserve banks those reserves which
must now be held in their own vaults.
With these amendments is coupled
an amendment authorizing the treas
ury department to institute system
of bank note c1earances through the
federal reserve banks and to appoint
reserve banks as redemption agents
for circulation.
These bills are under consideration
in the House under special rule and
debate on them has been exhausted.
They Will be followed, if quorum
can be obtained for a vote on them,
by the Lever cotton warehouse bill.
In addition to these Senator Smith
asserted that he desired an amend
ment to the banking laws which
would repeal the present 10 per cent.
tax on State bank circulating notes,
that Southern states might issue cir
culation based on cotton warehouse
certificates.
President Wilson remained at the
capitol for a few minutes after sign
ing the bill, but did not comment on
the failure of congress to adjourn.
Early in the day he had expressed
the hope that some Of the cotton re-
lief bills might be passed.
Representatives Underwood, Mann
and Fitzgerald had been appointed
by the House to call upon the presi-
dent to notify him that the House was
ready to adjourn. They called, but
did not deliver their message.

MAY TAKE COTTON
BRITAIN MAY LIQCDATE DEBT
OF AMERICAN BANKS.
New York Bankers, Reserve Board
and British Treasury Representa-
tiyes Discuss Finances,

and British Treasury Representa-
tives Discuss Finances.
Sir George Paish and Basil 3
Blackett, representing the British
treasury, are reconciled to the fac
that the United States can not pay it
maturing Indebtedness to Great Brit
ain in gold without serious fnancia
disturbance, which eventually woult
be reflected in England to Great Brit
aims own disadvantage.
Accordingly Sir George and Mr.
Blackett are now engaged in formu
lating with the United States treasur,
officials substitute plan for the set
tlement of the Americon obligation
which the British experts have esti
mated at between s200,000,000 ant
s25Q,OO0,O00.
The fundamentals of this plan con
sist in the facilitating of a flow o
cotton and other American products
but particularly the former, to Grea
Britain, in every way possible anG
the settlement of the balance in shor
time notes.
The details of the plan will not bs
worked out until a later date, when {
conference will be held in Washing
ton by Secretary McAdoo, member:
Of the federal reserve board, the Eng
lish treasury agents and prominen1
New York city bankers.
Secretary McAdoo sent out invita-.
tions Wednesday to the New York
bankers, but he declined to make the
list public before the acceptances
have been received. 1t is understood
however, that ]. P. Morgan and other
leading bankers will participate.
Although no official announcement
has been made, there is good reason
to believe that one of the features OF
the plan now being discussed contem.
plates an arrangement by which Eng.
land may take Immediately certain
amount of this years cotton crop and
give the United States credit on its
account in London.
Such an arrangement would oper-
ate toward a reduction OF the balance
and be of the greatest possible aid to-
ward warding off the calamity now
overhanging the South.
In the discussions that have occur
red thus far in reference to the posi-
bility of England taking part of the
cotton crop as payment on maturing
American obligations, the difficulty
that has presented itself was the un-
certainty as to the future price OF cot
ton under the present abnormal con-
ditions.
Any plan that is worked out for
the settlement of the United States
indebtedness to Great Britain in short
time notes will necessarily include
the heartiest cooperation by the
banks. The understanding is that
United States treasury officials hope
to make some arrangement by which
big New York banks viii give their
notes and in turn accept as security
the notes of the federal reserve banks
in this country.
