Mclaughlin had been getting tho be-

third set luck absolutely deserted Pell.
Everything went against him. and finally
he stopped running after returns IN
which the percentage appeared too great
against him. Pell was winded by this
time and realizing that defeat was In

himself out for nothing. Mclaughlin

What probably made Williams look no

AGED MAN is
KILLED BY TRAIN
Anthony D. Whitfield Meets Instant
Death at Columbus, Miss.

Columbus, Miss, Sept. 15.-An-
thony D. Whitfield, rs, Confederate
veteran and member of a prominent
family, was run over and instantly
killed by rorthbound passenger train
No. 104 on the Montgomery division
of the Mobile & Ohio railroad about
$3.50 o'clock this afternoon, the trag-
edy having occurred on trestle in
the southeastern suburbs of the city
Mr.. Whitfield, whose vision and hear
ing had both been impaired by the
ravages Of time, was taking an af-
ternoon stroll and did not either see
or hear the approaching train. He
was seen, however, by John Sloan, the
engineer, but Mr.. Sloan, not knowing
Mr.. Whitteld's infrmities, thought he
heard the train coming and was pre-
pairing to get out of the way. Mr..
Whitfield did step to one side, but hes
itated to jump into the small creek
which the trestle spans, and the on
coming train was soon upon him,
knocking him off the track into the
tiny stream.
The train was brought to a stand
still as quickly as possible and Con-
ductor Paul O'Connor, who ran back
to the scene of the accident, found
the dead body lying upon the bank
of the creek with the feet and legs
stretching out into the water. Sew
eral bones were broken, and there
were numerous bruises about the head
and shoulders.
Deceased is survived by his widow,
a brother-L. j. Whitfeld-and num-
erous other relatives.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.

New Orleans, Sept. 16.-There was
no Liverpool market today. The en-
barge placed by London on trade be-
ween the United States and Sweden
Norway, Holland, ETC., and the threat
ened extension of the strike in New
York industries, caused much sup
port to be suspended, and stimulated
railizing at the weekend. Fair wealth
er and expectations of increased hedge
selling had a little effect. There was
no frost except in the mountains of
Tennessee, but temperatures were un-
seasonably 10 wand conditions are un-
favorable for the crop, fact which
should be brought out in the govern
ment's weekly report next Wednes-
day. Trade reviews are very bullish,
saying that the trend is still toward
further expansion, and that activity
is exceptionally marked in some d.
rections. The Tines -Picayune crop
report Monday is expected to be bull
ish as we'll as the semi-monthly con-
dition forecasts by the various private
authorities. Our market opened slight
ly easier, ran off steadily until Oc-
tober was near 15 cents. Trading was
small compared to recent activity, and
the close was quiet at loss of 7
points from the previous day.

United States Government Interested
in New Order Issued by England.

/
Washington, Sept. 16-The State
Department today sought to learn
through diplomatic channels precise
ly what commodities are included in
Great Britain's latest blockade order
restricting shipments from the Unit
ed States to Holland and the Scan
dinavian countries.
If the action is found to shut off
any great quantity of the American
trade with neutral countries it will
doubtless be regarded seriously by
this government.
Interest in effect of the order is en-
hanced this time because President
Wilson was granted the authority by
recent legislation to retalate against
countries interfering unduly with
American commerce.

COTTON GOODS MARKET.

New York, Sept. 16.-Sales Of print
cloth at Fall River this week 100000
pieces, including $4,000 spots against
25O,O0o and $4,000 last year. High
prices asked has checked demand.
Curtailment estimated at $4,000 VS..
10000 pieces year ago, due to con-
tinued heavy shortage of labor. Mar
shall Field & Co., of Chicago, say the
wholesale distribution of dry goods
for the current week shows substan-
tial gain over the corresponding pc
riod of year ago. The market for
domestic cotton goods is strong and
active. Cotton goods merchants say
that completely new level of values
for cotton goods is inevitable and the
sooner the jobbers recognize it the
better off the trade will be.

Meridian, Miss, Sept. 15.-One
hundred and sixteen bolls on single
stalk of cotton is record made by
j. II. Muir, Of this city. Mr.. Muir
raised the cotton as an experiment,
The stalk measures l 1-2 inches at the
base and has not been touched by the
weevil. Mr.. Muir invites anyone out
to his house to see the cotton, which
is seven feet high. Its weight became
so great after it reached height of
over four feet that he was compelled
to tie it to the fence to prevent break
ing under its own weight. Mr.. Muir
is considering planting several acres
in the same variety Of cotton next

Prof. Ames spoke on "Soil Building
by Use of Crimson Clover" and re-
ceived an attentive hearing. Mr..
Ames declared that the State of Mis-
sissippi can double its yield Of cotton
and corn in two years by building up
it's soil with crimson clover, and cited
his own experience of producing two
bales of cotton to the acre of land
where crimson clover had been grown.
He advised that delta lands were de-
ficient only in nitorgen and organic
matter and that clovers, crimson and
bur are the needed plants, and that
one ton of crimson clover adds as
much fertility to the soil as ten tons
of ordinary stable fertilizer.

try Judging" and Prof. II. X. Cole on

younglady driving the car blew her
horn for the crossing, and Mr.. Howell
states that he was looking where he
was going.
The accident did occur however, and
when the car came to a standstill the
bicycle was under the rear wheels and
Mr.. Howell was on his back in front
of the car, with his feet on the front
axle, which fact probably saved him
serious injury. He was thrown in
front of the car and pushed along on
his back fully the length of the car.
His only injury was bruised ankle.
