Cormick, chairman of the democratic
national committee, was today served
with a summons in suit of $4,000
damages for alleged libel, brought
against him by jeremiah O'Leary, pres
ident of the American Truth society.

the suit was based on alleged publish
ed statements by Chairman McCor-
mick accusing him Of disloyalty to the
country in connection with OLeary's
recent attack upon President Wilson,
sent to the president in a telegram.
The president in reply criticised
O'Leary.
O'Leary announced through his
counsel that he also intended to bring
libel suits against newspapers

questioned his right and abused him
for sending what he considered to be
a perfectly proper telegram to the
president of the United States.

fraudulent or dishonest act shown
nection with the banks failure. but

SEED PRICES SENSATIONAL.

Quitman, Oct. 6.-The phenomenal
advances in the price of cotton seed
is one o; the sensations of the mar
Eet here, Seed are selling here at $51
and have gone to $53 and $54. Many
farmers expect further advances. One
farmer brought in an ordinary two
horse wagon load OF seed yesterday
and got S73.37 for it. The value Of
seed is enhanced by the fact that az
ter the linters, meal and oil are taken,
there is enough fibre to make the
hulls valuable, as this fibre is used
in manufacturing explosives. Even at
this high price many farmers are
saving seed to compost for fertilizers.
