which attracted a large crowd of Ia

In dress goods a more beautiful

An Old Negro's Throat Cut.

An old negro man named Morgan
Fulton, living with his son in the lit.
tie house just back of the Offices of
Messrs Kelley & Kinds, was discov-
cred early yesterday morning with
his throat badly cut. It is not known
how the cutting was done, although
several theories have been advanced.
The old man says he does not know
how it happened. Drs Wallace and
Hemingway are attending him and
report his condition as serious.
Chief of Police Epps and Sheriff
Graham believe that foul play has
been committed and one negro wom-
an has already been locked up to
await further investigation. Sheriff
Graham and Coroner Kinder are
still busy on the case and late yes
terday the latter had Alex Owens
locked up on suspicion, as he was q
frequent visitor at the Fulton home
to see the old negro's stepdaughter,
who is also in Jail under suspicion in
connection with the cutting. Other
arrests are likely to follow.
Later-Fulton died this afternoon
of his wound. We are informed that
a confession has been made as to the
cutting, and a razor was turned over
to Sheriff Graham with the confes-
sion.

A NEW EPOCH IN THE COTTON
MINISTRY

In the articles heretofore published
relative to the Producer-Consumer
products system have endeavored to
show the economic value OF the sys-
TEN to the community In which II Is To-
Gated. Now want you to consider
the proposition from standpoint of a
business investment.
II Is to the interest OF every business
man In any town to increase the earn
ing capacity OF the farmers In their
community. My system OF preparation
OF cotton products for market increases
the net returns to the producers OF cot
ton, at the lowest estimate, $500 per
bale. Are you interested In accom-
plishing these results?
Now, as an investment, with the
above advantage over the common
gins now in operation, II Is safe to fig
ure on ginning one-half of the cotton
that comes TO Bryan. With an aver
age crop Bryan gins ten thousand bales
of cotton each season, or we may
safely figure on working five thousand
bales OF cotton, with the probable pos
sibility OF working ten thousand bales.
Our earnings would be:
For ginning 5000 bales cotton
at $3.50 ....................$l2,500
Profit and 10000 bales bagging
and ties ................. 1850
at $500 .................... 1880
per cent commission on 10000
gallons OF oil at 4Oc. ...... 1900
Gross earnings ............$2S, $3.50
Less operating expenses and
maintenance ............... 5000
Net earnings ...............S2 O,OOO
Or 80 1-3 per cent on investment Of
100000.
Is II worth your consideration? We
need you to help start this new era in
the cotton industry. Subscribe for

ton Products Company.
