BROKEN IN HEALTH,
HE PLEADS GUILTY
DIR. Richard C. Fowler, Now Old and
Penniless, Made Many Millions
Through Winning Swindles.

NEW YORK.-Dr. Richard c..
Fowler, promoter of mining enter
rrises. who after being indicted here
on a larceny charge growing out of
his transactions, evaded arrest from
1903 until caught in Toronto We'd
resday, pleaded guilty in supreme
court today. He was remanded until
later for sentence.
Broken in health, old and penni-
less, the man who is said to have
made millions through mining swim
dies, declared he did not care to fight
longer. Justice Davis,
while accepting the plea of guilty,
appointed counsel for the aged man
and advised him to consult with the
lawyer before being arraigned for
sentence.
DR.. Fowler was indicted by New
York grand jury in 1908. He for
feited his bail, as he had done twice
before when arrested in Terre Haute
and Galveston, and as he did again
in Philadelphia when arrested in
1907. After that he is said to have
wandered aboct North and South
America until arrested in Toronto by
a New York detective.

DECISION IN THE
FRANK CASE SOON
Has Been i'm Courts For Long Time,
and 1t Is Believed Supreme Court
Will Give 1t Right of Way.


ATLANTA.-A decision from the
supreme court in the case of L. M.
Frank, charged with the murder of
Mary Phagan, is expected within the
next few days This decision will
relate to the demurrer filed upon the
defendants motion to dismiss the
verdict and discharge him from GUS
tody because of the fact that he was
not present when the verdict was
rendered.
If the court sustains the demurrer
Franks only recourse will be an ap-
peal to the supreme court of the
United States, and there is said to
be considerable doubt as to whether
an appeal can be taken. If the de-
murrer is overruled it will mean a
trial in the superior court upon the
motion itself.
The case has already been in the
courts a long time and has occupied
the attention of court officials for
many months. 1t is understood,
therefore, that the supreme court is
inclined to give it the right of way,
and instead of waiting until late in
November or December will take the
case up and dispose of it within a
short time. The general belief is
that there will probably be a decis-
ion some time within the next week
or ten days.

is STATE RESPONSIBLE?
JeweIer Who Furnished Silver Ser
vice Goes Into Bankruptcy.

ATLANTA.-One of the causes,
perhaps, of the bankruptcy of Chas.
w. Crankshaw, for years a leading
Atlanta jeweler, is that the great
state of Georgia has not paid its bill
for the silver service purchased sew
en- years ago for the battleship named
in honor of this state. The bill is
listed in the Crankshaw assets at
1920. There was some question as
to the legality of the appropriation
made for the silver service, but this
came up only after the silver was be-
ing used on board the ship, and the
jeweler was never able to recover
either silver or money.

1t Really Does Relieve rheumatism

Everybody who is afflicted with
rheumatism in any form should by
all means keep a bottle of Sloan's
Liniment on hand. The minute you
feel pain or soreness in a joint or
muscle battle it with SlOan's Lini-
ment. Do not rub it. SlOan's pene-
trates almost instantly right to the
seat of pain, relieving the hot, ten
der, swollen feeling and making the
part easy and comfortable. Get a
bottle of Sloan's Liniment for %
cents at any druggist and have it in
the house-agains colds, sore and
swollen joints, rheumatism, neural
gia, sciatica and like ailments. Your
money back if not satisfied, but it
does give almost instant relief.

NOULTRIE'S GREAT
MEAT PACKING HOUSE
WITH CAPACITY OF 1000 HOGS
AND 80 CATTLE A DAY. NEXT
TO LARGEST IN SOUTH.
WILL Be OPENED THIS MONTH


the Affection System, 1t Is as
Modern as Any Plant in United
States. 100000 to Operate 1t.
MOULTRIE, Ga.-The Moultrie
Packing Plant will begin operation
early in November. The formal
opening will take place Nov. oath.
This packing house was promoted
by the Moultrie Chamber of Com
merce and was built by the MOultrie
and Colquitt county people as a cure
for the all cotton system and to pro-
mote diversified farming. Coming at
such an opportune time it is hoped
that this enterprise will begin a new
era for this section of the South, and
in view of this fact some well known
industrial leaders and publicists have
been invited to participate in its for
NAL opening.
1t is the seventh packing house in
the South, is the largest of the seven
save one, and in point of construc-
ton and machinery it is as modern
as any plant in the United States. It's
walls are of brick and its inside con-
struction is reinforced concrete. It's
killing capacity is a thousand hogs
and thirty cattle a day. Since it
was built primarily to make a mar
ket for the stock of this section the
management expects to pay standard
market prices for hogs and cattle.
The plant will be supplied with
stock from Georgia, North Florida
and Southeast Alabama. The build
ing and equipment cost about $780,
900, and it is expected that it will re-
quire about 100000 to operate it..
1t is estimated that by March of 1915
the packing house will pay to the
farmers of this section nearly as
much money as they have lost on the
decline of cotton and that the profit
on the stock to the farmers thus pur-
chased will be about 200 per cent;
since it costs only three cents a
pound to raise pork in this section
and the normal price on foot is about
9 cents.

SENATOR West GIVES
VIEW OF TAX PLAN
CONSIDERED RECENTLY PROPOS-
ED MEASURE INADEQUATE
TO NEEDS OF FARMER.
ADVANCED A NEW OBJECTION
To the Proposal to Buy 5,OOO,O0O
Bales. and Asked Whose Cotton of
15.OOO,OOO Bales the Farmers
Have Would Be Bought.


100000 900 Bales the Farmers
Have Would Be Bought.
vALDOSTA, Ga.-United States
Senator w. S. West returned yester-
dav morning from Washington,
where he has been in attendance up
on the recently adjourned session OF
congress. Senator West stated that
he was glad to get away from the
scenes of fighting and filibuster
which had marked the last few days
of the session.
In reference to the government
having failed to give relief to the
cotton situation Senator West said;
no, was not in favor Of the
measure presented by Senator Hoke
Smith. I felt that the measure was
entirely inadequate to the needs of
the Southern farmers, and for that
reason I opposed it.
1T is absurd" continued Senator
West, "to my way of thinking, for
the government to assume to die
tate to each individual farmer how
much land he should plant in cotton.
This is absolutely in opposition to all
thought of individual and states
rights, and I am opposed to the gov
eminent setting up any such prece-
dent
II am also opposed to Senator
Smiths suggestion said Mr.. West,
because I fail to see why the gov
eminent should be given the power
to tax the production of cotton, or
anything else for that matter. 1t
will be remembered by many that
Just after the war such tax was lev
led and that it created great deal
of discomfort.
Whose Cotton to Buy?
Another feature of the measure
that I find Objectionable is that re-
garding the purchase of 100000
bales of cotton at 10 cents per pound.
How, in the name of justice, could it
be determined who should sell this
cotton to the government? If two
farmers raise 20 bales of cotton each
and the government is to buy 5,000,-
600 bales at 10 cents who is to deter
mine which farmer should sell to the
government? The 100000 bales
would leave 100000 bales still to
be disposed of and fail to see how it
could be determined which of the
Southern farmers would be fortunate
enough to sell to the government at
10 cents when the market is much
lower. 1t is easy to see that the spec
ulators, the men who are handling
the cotton for what they can get out
of it, would most likely sell to the
government. They would be in a bet
ter position to sell and would most
likely have the necessary influence
with the government purchasing
agent
To Make Full Statement.
Senator West stated that he in
tended to make a full statement of
his reasons for opposing the propos-
ed cotton measures. mot that I
feel that I have done the wrong
thing" said the senator, but I am
anxious that my position be made
clear to all who are Interested"
Senator West said he was home for
good. He said that he was glad that
the present session had adjourned,
as he had many business matters
which demanded his attention, and
he added that he was delighted to
once more return to his home and
his section.

Gated with the race question. Dry
laws have been passed not because
of a conviction on the part of the
people that the use of liquor was i'm
moral, but from the desire to place
intoxicants out of reach of the col

have been enforced as rigidly as pos
sible against the negroes, and have
been very largely ignored where
white people were concerned.
