SOUTHERN LAW MAKERS
HOLD CONFERENCE

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 4.-Southern SEN
ators and congressman met in confer
ence in Washington last night, accord
ing to dispatches, to formulate some
plan of marketing the cotton crop in
the face of war conditions and to pro-
tect the Southern planter from heavy
losses. The movement was begun by
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia. who
sent out petition to all Southern rep
resentatives to meet him.
While the first meeting did not bring
about the completion of details, the
principal idea discussed was the pas
sage of legislation which will proyid,
transportation of cotton to the Orient.
South America, England and Europo.
The question of steps toward financ-
ing the present crop by extraordinary
measures also was taken UP and dis.
cussed at length. 1t is hoped to fin
ance all surplus cotton, that the
planter may avoid losses because of
the war

'SOUTH'S COTTON
NOT CONTRABAND,
IT'S So DECLARED
CAN BE- SHIPPED ABROAD
Question Settled In London
~ Declaration

New York, Aug. 4.-The question
what constitutes contraband of war is
causing the greatest concern to ship.
pers, and the perplexed state of the
international law on the question Is
making it difficult for steamship men
to know when they are carrying car
go that is reasonably safe from con-
fiscation, in the event of further dec
laration of war in Europe.
While the definition of contraban l
is elastic there is now an international
list of articles which can never at any
time be contraband. The most i'm
portant of these articles to America
is cotton, which heads the list of nom
contranband goods.
Of almost equal Importance is the
fact that gold is on the conditional
contraband list. Gold becomes con-
traband if it is shipped to a nation
involved in war, and is liable to seiz-
ure by ships of the enemy of that
country.
Cotton was placed on the non
contraband list at the London Naval
conference, although it had been
treated as contraband by Russia dur
ing the Japanese war. While
the London declaration has not been
ratified by all nations, it is practically
certain, according to DR.. Ellery c..
Stowe, assistant professor of inter-
national law at Columbia university.
that it's shipment would not be inter-
fered with by any European nation in
case of a general war.
Absolute contraband, which is all
ways liable to seizure, consists of war
material, guns, ammunition, military
vehicles, etc. Other articles except
those on the none ontraband list may
be treated as cQntraband. by a belliga-
rent after giving notice to general ma
tons of the articles which it has class.
ed liable to seizure.

JACK THE RIPPER" s,
BATTLES 8 ADOPTERS

Chicago, Aug. 4.-Did you ever
meet a 6-year-old "Jack-the-Ripper, "
so to speak? A mere child with a
blood lust that impels him to strangle
cats with his bare hands and attempt
the slaughter of babies with gusto?
Such a one was reported to the con-
vention of scientists now in session in
this city. He is a product of Chicago.
This boy has had an exciting career
in the last year, and so have others,
as he has been adopted eight times
The eighth adoption was a month ago.
and he soon will be ready for the ninth
candidate.
Grown men would hesitate about
strangling cats with bare hands but
this boy delights in it. Wringing
chickens heads off is mild amusement
to him. The climax came soon after
his seventh adoption had returned him
to the County court as impossible.
DR.. W. J. Hickson, head of the psyche
pathic laboratory, and his wife took an
interest in the case when foster parent
No. reported the child had tried to
throw girl baby under a car.
Don't you know it was naughty
to throw the baby under the carr"
queried Mrs. Hickson, of the juvenile
Ripper" Why, you might have
killed her."
Sure" responded the boy. what
do you take me for? That's what I
tried to do"
A clergyman, undismayed by his rec
ord, now has the boy, asserting that
to the contrary not
withstandong, everyone had been
created in Gods image and could be
made perfect.

BELLAMY'S PROMISES

"Oseola-Order for new Frisco depot to be built February, 1913" The foregoing statement is clipped from Major George W. Bellamy's
 campaign literature, who is making the race for the third term from this district. If such an order has been issued the major should have seen that such was complied with, and then the people of Osceola would have had some excuse for supporting him even for third term. As the matter stands Feb ruary, 1913, passed into history a year hence and not even one stick
 of timber has been placed on the ground with which to erect this new depot he speaks of. Major Bellamy is an excellent gentleman in every respeat, but how he expects support from a community after promising four years to do someteing then fails Is more than we can understand. Osceola Times.

SEED SITUATION IS
 BECOMING SERIOUS
Agricultural Commissioner Warns the Farmers Against Poor Stands That Will Result
 From Planting Damaged Seed

The seed corn and seed cotton situation is more serious this year than 1t has been for some time, according to MT. D. C. Welty, Commissioner of Agriculture for the Iron Mountain, whose depart ment has carried on quite an in vestegation as to conditions. md who has gone into the matter very thoroughly with both State and Federal authorities.
 The long wet fall made seed gathering and storing difficult and the investigations which have been carried on by the Iron Mountain show that there is a serious situ- ation confronting the farmers in securing good planting seed for their corn and cotton crops this season.
 No farmer can afford to plant seed, large portion of which will not grow, and a little time spent in making the germination test will often save replanting of field or reduced yield due to poor seed.
 Anyone not informed as to the most convenient ways of testing can easily get the information by writing to the State Experiment Station or to MT. Welty, care of the Iron Mountain Ky. at St. Louis, who will be glad to respond at once.
 The Agricultural Department of the Railway Co. is securing ali possible information as to the sources of supply of good planting seed, and is furnishing the infor- nation as widely as is possible in the territory along the line, and both bankers and merchants as well as farmers are cooperating nobly in bettering the seed situa- tion
 The question of good cotton seed is a very important one. In many localities, it may be impossible 10 obtain home grown seed. In this case seed should be obtained as near home as is possible, both for economy and in order that same may be acclimated.

ISSUES STATEMENT
 TO THE PEOPLE
Oldfield Cautions Voters to Look Out for Dirty Stories That May be Started Against
 Him on Eve of the Election

Editor Newark Journal: 1 notice that the Batesville Guard is mis. representing me and my record in Congress in every way possible, and l shall appreciate your kind ness if you will publish this short letter in The Journal, so that your readers may understand the facts.
 The editor of the Guard, MT. Trevathan, is very mad with me, because he could not force me to break my word with regard to the postmastership at Batesville, and recommend MT. Trevat han for the postmastership. 1 refused, at his commando break my prom ise to MT. Sam Deener and his friends, and 1 don't believe there is man in Independence county, or elsewhere, who would want me to break my word about the post mastership at Batesville, or any thing else.
 The Guard criticises me because l voted for and spoke for the Alaskan Railway Appropriation bill. This is one of the greatest pieces of constructive legislation passed since the Democratic party went into power a little more than a year ago, and 1t was strongly supported by the President, Sec retary of State Bryan, Speaker Champ Clark, Leader of the House Oscar Underwood, and all of the members of the present cabinet, as we'll as three-fourths of the Democrats in both houses of Con- gress.
 expect to uphold the hands of the Democratic Administration and 1 know that the people want me to do that. But this isn't the trouble with Mir. Trevathan. He is simply mad with me because he cannot control me, and he is tell ing every untruth that he can

 Strong programs for both the general and section meeting of the Association are being prepared and will soon be ready for publi- cation and distribution. The pro- grams will contain something of special and direct interest to every teacher who attends this meeting.
 The four hundred or more attendance leaders are active and enthusiastic in boosting" the attendance at this meeting. A number of principals and superin- tendentS have written that every teacher from their schools will be in attendance at the meeting this year.
 During the last few years the attendance at the annual Associ- ation meeting has been steady growing and the officers of the Association are plannig and work ing to make the meeting in April the biggest and best" in all its history. The newspapers of the State are generously cooperation in the attendance campaign by giving notice and publicity to the meeting through their colums from time to time.
 Every teacher should plan to attend the April meeting of the Association. The inspiration and professional uplift that come from these meetings must mean much to the teachers in their work. An attendance of Z,o0O teachers has been set as the st andard for the April meeting. It will be matter of special interest to the large number of rural teachers of the State to know that the discussions at the general meeting will have for their theme Rural School Improvement and Professionl Efficiency"

III. G. LIMERICK
Manager

George NJ. Dickson won an everlast-
ing place in the hearts of many of
the contenders in last years 50O-mile
race by letting them take advantage
of the National Vehicle company s
factory machinery, facilities and also
National employees
Dickson, who is general manager OF
the National company has again writ
ten the speedway management, oner-
ing the same courtesy for this year.
The entrants from afar will soon be
in the city and will begin strenuous
practice. Often in practice something
is broken, or some adjustment or re-
pairs are needed that require the ma
chine and facilities of modern fac
tory such as the National.
Last year the cars of eight different
contestants were worked on at the
National factory. The drivers appre-
ciated the service and the true sports
manship back of it.
while these drivers and their cars
are here this year to win the 500-miie
race and to break the record still
held by the National, yet we feel It
our duty to do anything we can to
assist them; to make the race as good
as possible and to give the world the
right idea about the Indianapolis
people" said Dickson. "It has been
our pleasure even to help competitors
in races where we had National cars
entered also. We hope nothing will
happen to cause any one to need help,
but If they do we extend our facili-
ties gladly"
