New Orleans, La, Jan. 22.-Threa-

smiled as death ended twelve hours Of
agony early Thursday morning.
Tuesday afternoon a puff of wind
blew flame from the back yard trash
fire against her dress. Her clothing

her parents rushed from the front of
the house and found her. She was
taken to the Charity hospital, scarcely
recognizable through the marks of
the flames '.
No hopes were held out at the hos
pital Little Veronica moaned and
tossed about on her cot. During her
moments of consciousness the hospital
was filled with cries.
Early Thursday morning, she laps

on her disfgured face when she died

MERE MAN HAS NO
CHANCE IN DEBATES
LIKE THIS ONE

Atlanta, jan 23.-The first clash be-
tween mere man and super woman in
the Feminist movement in Atlanta has
resulted in the complete victory of the
fair sex and the ignominous defeat Of
the erstwhile lords of creation.
1t was public debate on the ques-
ton of woman suffrage, in which two
bright and pretty high-school girls,
Misses Warren and Youngblood, met
Cecil Miles and Roland Butler of the
Boys High School.
The boys never had a chance. So
convincing were the arguments of the
fair suffragettes, so beautiful were
their tear-dimmed eyes as they pleaded
for the right to vote. that it is doubt
full if the judges even heard what the
boys said in reply. The decision in
favor of the girls was unanimous and
the audience cheered it to the echo.
The boys merely looked sheepish and
grinned.

RAIN YESTERDAY
VERY BENEFICIAL,
FARMERS STATED
WILL help THE DAT CROP
Gardens Too, We're Needing
Moisture

The rain yesterday, general through
cut Sumter county and this section
came when much needed and will prove
of inestimable benefit to growing gar
dens and the vast oat fields here. 1t
is the first rain in long while, and
in consequence of the protracted
drought the ground was almost too
hard for blowing The oat crop, too,
needed rain very much, and as Sum
ter's farmers have planted this sea-
son the largest grain crop in years
they welcomed the showers which fell
throughout the day. The crop outlook
in Sumter at this early stage is very
promising, so far as the initial pre-
paration can be judged, and when
planting time comes the farmers here
will be entirely up with blowing and
ready to plant cotton and corn.

JUDGE IS SUED
FOR Big sum

Atlanta, Jan. pa statewide issue
has been raised by the filing of a suit
for 81, 500 against Judge Ben Hill of the
Atlanta superior court, seeking dam
ages from the judge on the ground
that he failed to sign habeas corpus
papers in the case of R. M. Jones, a
lumber dealer, who was arrested for
cheating and swindling.
Jones attorney claims that the judge
is personally liable for damages, under
section 48060 of the 1910 code. Poole
alleges that Judge Hill became anger
ed when he was aroused from sleep and
refused to sign the papers.
Judge Hill has made no statement
fer publication, but has informed his
friends, it is stated, that the case was
one in which Jones had been arrested
on a. warrant by due process of law,
and that he would have had no right
to sign the habeas corpus under the
circumstances. The judges friends de-
clare that the filing OF the suit is an
outrage.

WHY WOMEN ARE ABLE
TO GIVE THE LAST WORD

Paris, Jan. 23.-The reason why a
woman usually has the last word is
scientifically explained in the Elk
celsior by Professor Chassaigne.
Women are able" the writer says,
ito talk for a longer time than man,
and with less fatigue, because of the
peculiar formation of their respiratory
system.
"Woman's lungs cover wider sur
face than those of man On the other
hand, her windpipe and larynx are
much smaller BY way of illustration
let us take two vessels, one wide and
the other narrow necked, and we shall
find that liquid passes much more rap
idly through the former than through
the latter.
"In other words, man exhausts his
supply of vocal energy at once, while
woman is able to utilize it for sus-
tanned effort"

COTTON MARKET REVIEW.
No General Buying; Sentiment More
OF Less Unsettled.

New York, Feb. 13.-The cotton
about II "a cents for May and July
contracts early in the past week and
rallies have followed on covering and
scattered trade buying. There has
been no general buying, however, and
sentiment has been more or less UNI
settled, owing partly to the disturb
ng influence of finances in Mem
phis, and the confusing effect OF un-
usual premiums or disparities be-
twecn months and various markets.
Southern shippers and spinners are
said TO be complaining of big dis
counts on contracts as compared with
the higher grades Of spot cotton in
the South, and while it is pointed out
that this has been q feature in all fu-
ture markets, the criticism directed
against New York is supposed by some
to have been responsible for prevail
ing apathy. Reports Of short time III
Lancashier mills may have modified
ideas somewhat as to further
widening OF the difference between
New York and Liverpool. At any
rate, some observers OF local trading
believe that the short interest in May
and July against purchases in Liver
pool has been reduced and rather
freer recent offerings of March have
been attributed to liquidation Of con-
tracts previously held as a protection
against the short end of these strad-
dies. Some Of the private cables
have estimated that the Lancashier
short time may amount TO about 50,-
600 bales Of raw material, but today's
Manchester cable reported better de-
mand, particularly for cloths from
China and British board Of trade re-
turns for the month of January COM
pared favorably with last year.
Part Of the early week selling may
have been forced by the troubles in
Memphis, and while offerings were
partly taken by straddlcrs, the de-
mand which developed around II ga
cents was considered an encouraging
feature by local bulls, who also point
ed out that statistics were beginning
10 show the bullish influence Of last
months active spot demand. Mean
while, most traders still express fa-
vorable view of new crop probabilities,
although in many cases this is coupled
with disposition to await fresh de-
velopments in the spot demand, par
ticularly as the bulls have been talk
ing large commitments for March
shipment.
