So slowly the current bore the life

the tide that Barcus never appreciated
they were within touch Of any land
until the bows grounded with slight
jar and a grating sound.
With cry of incredulity he leaped
to his feet-"Land, by all that's
lucky!"-and STOPPING, lent a hand to
the girl. aiding her to rise.
Hardly had Rose had time to COM
prehend what had happened, when
Barcus was over the side and wres-
Ting with the bows. dragging the boat
farther upon the shoals.
She was, however, more than one
man could manage; and when her
stem had bitten a little more deeply
into the sands, Barcus gave over the
attempt and. lifting Rose down. set
her on dry land, then climbed back into
the vessel, rummaged out her anchor
and cable. and carried them ashore,
planting the former well up towards
the foot OF 'the cliff.

TWO NEGRO BOYS
ARE BADLY BURNED
Were Playing About Forge When a
Can of Gasoline Was in Some
Way Ignited

Bennie and Lige Sweetning, two. young
negro boys, were severely burned yester-
day about noon at Avenue ID and Twelfth
street while playing with companions near
a forge. The boys were removed to their
homes and are now under the city physi-
clans care. They are expected to recover.
According to Detectives Jones and
Crump, the burning of the two negro boys
created q great deal of excitement, and
large crowd gathered and expressed
indignation at three other little negro
boys, who were held responsible for the
accident. The detectives. after seeing
that the injured boys had received medi-
cal care, brought the others to the JuVen-
lie court and placed them in charge OF
Judge Murphy for investigation.
The detectives state that the five negro
boys were playing about an old forge
and one of the boys found can of gaso-
line. a fire was started and one OF me
boys threw the can of gasoline on me
fire and it exploded, severely burning the
faces and breast of the two SweetninS
BOYS However, the two Sweetning boys
charged that the three other boys poured
gasoline over their clothes and then set
them on fire. This version of the affair,
it was stated at detective headquarters,
has no foundation in fact.

Lost the Pattern

Il wish to procure cross stitch pat
tern for a cushion. I fear it is hope
less case, yet l thought a try would do
no harm. The pattern l wish appeared
between 1866 and 1859. think in 1861,

ting in a wreath of morning glories and
roses 1t was a colored plate showing
how to place the colors and done in
colored zephyr woods on congress eau
vas. The background was black. [ had
my cushion about half done when my
working design disappeared and I have
never found 1t. 1t was such a lovely
piece of cross stitch design l have
mourned its loss ever since. Perhaps
some one might have it hidden away in
the attic. EMILY b. c."
As our fancy workers will perceive
at a glance, this is a serious loss. The
work already done is wasted If the pat
tern cannot be found. The rules of the
Corner do not permit me to mention the
name of the magazine. The design was
SO uncommon and the correspondent has
described 1t so fully that any one in
terested in cross stitch is not likely TO
forget If she has once seen it, This may
fairly be considered a crucial test os
the ability and the willingness of our
Corner to seek and to find that which
is lost, when discovery means happl-
ness To a fellow member.

ONE AER0P[ANE
FOR EVERY SHIP
Naval Board Recommends
Organizing AerOnautical
Service

Washington, January 11.-Equipment
of every battleship with at least one
aeroplane, the use by the navy of dir
igible balloons and the concentration
OF all naval aeronautical training work
at Pensacola. Fla, are reeommenda-
tions of the board of officers appointed
by Secretary Daniels to draw up COM
prehensive plan for the organization of
a naval aeronautical service. The
boards report was made public today
with the announcements that it had been
approved by the secretary.
The board collected a vast amount
of information from abroad. where ma
tions We're found to be unit in the
conviction that superiority is essential
in all matters pertaining to aerial
equipment. The idea of some powers
that coast defense should also be based
upon air service was condemned, the
report declaring that the American
aeronautical service will be adequate
If based on official service with the
fleet
The board held that special ships for
aeroplanes and air craft generally
should be considered. though not imme-
diately recommended. The purchase of
dirigibles at the earliest practicable
date was recommended.

I'VE arc perfectly willing to havsl
the democrats pass the amendment but
IL by the close of Congress they have
not taken action we will transfer their
votes to a party that will act,' said
Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubs tonight in
announcing the unions plans.
1t was decided at a meeting of the
union today to transfer the energy of
the union to the west at the close of
the present session of Congress. Ne

The first of the demonstrations
will be held in Washington the last
day of this month, when 100 working
women from various states will urge
the President to support the suffrage
amendment. There will be meetings
held simultaneously through the

SPOT SITUATION
INTERESTS COTTON
Will Have Strong Influence
on the Market
This Week

New Orleans, January 1.-THE cot
ton market this week will probably
pay a great deal of attention to the
spot situation and Developments in 1t
may have strong influence on the
course of prices in the future depart
ment. The entire trade wants a bet
ter line on the supply of spinnable
grades in regard to which there is
much bullish gossip going the rounds
The claims of the bulls in this di-
rection are that of the receipts now
coming in only a very small percent
age is of quality to tempt buyers
and that the premiums on the good
grades are bound to widen out. OF the
entire stocks of unsold cotton in this
country. comprising just about 1000.
600 bales at all ports and the 80 count
ed interior towns. it is said that n
surprising percentage is very low
grade stuff which cannot be used 10
advantage.
Under the circumstances the bulls
consider that 1t is only a question of
a short time before owners of good
grades will find themselves in very
strong position and the spot depart
ment will have tendency to lead fu-
lures in advancing movements in
values.
The great decrease in ginning shown
by the last report from the census bu-
reau gave the bulls an important ad-
vantage which will undoubtedly be ap-
parent this week in forecasts of the
amount of cotton ginned during the
present period. This period will end
with January Is, and the report relat-
ing to 1t will be issued on January
23. BY the end of this week the first
of the private bureau forecasts will be
put out and the general expectation
already is that they will be bullish.
The last ginning report showed a lit
tie over 100000 bales turned out be-
tween December 12 and January /. AS
opinion now stands there are few peo-
pie who look for more than 200, 900
bales between January ! and January
Is. Some bulls expect even smaller
amount This next ginning report will
be looked forward to with the great
est interest
Trade conditions the world over will
be given much attention. Bulls believe
that the year 1914 will bring about a
decided Improvement in them while
the, bears look for continued quiet
Either way. they are an important fac
tor in cotton.

WHITFIELD SAYS
ANONYMOUS LETTER
WILL Be PRObED
President of Columbus In
dustrial In-...'-1c Speaks
to Student Body-De-
nies t'e Charges

Columbus, Miss. January 11.-(Spe-
cial.)-The entire student, body of the
Industrial Institute and College held a
meeting this afternoon at o'clock
President Henry L. Whitfield was re-
ouested to wait in his office until he
was notified to come to the chapel,
where the students had assembled. As
he entered the whole audience arose
as a mark of respect while he walked
down the main aisle to the rostrum.
He was called on for any state
ment he might desire to make TO the
students by Miss Mamie Hill, president
of the student government association.
He briefly said that the charges which
had been presented through anonymous
letters to the Is Mississippi legislators
last week had met with such mag
nificent action on the part of the stu
dents that he felt the college had been
upheld against its slanderers.
The meeting was for the purpose of
showing the president the splendid re-
gard and love the young ladies held
for him.
President Whitfield arrived here last
night late. He was seen this afternoon
and stated that while he believed the
best course to adopt toward any
anonymous letter writer was that of
silent contempt, still in this case where
the college, it's president and its $40
young lady students had been so bru-
tally traduced and lied about, he
thought the widest publicity and real
truths pertaining to the school should
be the policy with respect to this pres
ent affair.
kilograms were forwarded today to
the lawmakers asking that the special
com mittee or the general investigat
ing committee be sent here at the earl
lest possible date this week When they
arrive every charge brought out in
the document signed. as. T. Payer" and
mailed from Mobile. will be gone into
