statement that President Wilson had
suffered a cerebral lesion and that
concentration of mind might reopen
the lesion, with fatal results.
II will not discuss that report" said
DR.. Dercum. 1T is one of the silly
rumors of which there are entirely

teers some expression relative to the
presidents condition.

the surgeon whose sudden trip to
Paris was linked with the presidents

THE president could sign bills to-

Those close to the president said

regain his health, although he must
continue to obey his physicians orders
to remain in bed for IAN extensive
period" and resign himself to the ut
most quietude and relaxation.

LOCUST PLAGUE MAY
STARVE $4,000 GOATS
Insect Pests Strip Island of All Its
Vegetation. First to Visit There
In Fifty Years.

SAN DIEGO, Cal.-Oficers of the
motor ship Gryme, arriving here from
Gaudaloupe Island, IT'S miles south
of this port, brought word that mil
lions of locusts had swarmed on the
island and had eaten practically all
vegetation there. 1t is estimated that
there are fully $4,000 wild goats on
the island, and the ships officers said
that all would starve to death soon
unless steps were taken by the Mex
lean government to feed them.
The island is about 100 miles
from the lower California coast line
and is about twenty miles long and
eight miles wide 1t is said that the
first goats were left there many
years ago by Spanish priests.
The Gryme brought 395 goats to
port on her trip north. Many of the
animals which were put aboard died
on the way and were thrown over
board.
The locusts are the first to visit
the island in more than fifty years,
according to natives.

MAN WHO RISKED VENOM
TO PROVE FAITH is DEAD
Bite of Rattlesnake Is Fatal to Re-
Hgious Crank.


TUSCUMBIA, Ala.-To eXempli-
fy his faith in the religion he had ac-
copied and in the power of the AL
mighty to save those who put their
trust in him Cleveland Harrison, 80,
citizen. of Colbert county, is dead
after two days intense suffering
from the bites of RATHER at a meet
ing of the "Holy Rollers" held near
here.
During the evening services the
pastor in charge stated that there
was in the congregation one of the
followers of his sect who had such
great faith that he would allow rat
tier to bite him, feeling sure he was
immune from the poison, as st. Paul
at one time was immune from the
strike of a serpent.
Harrison at once came forward, ac-
cepting the invitation, and box
containing a rattlesnake was opened
in view of the congregation. Harrl-
son caught the snake just below the
neck and the RATHER struck him five
times in rapid succession on the arm
between the elbow and the wrist. He
died two days later.

HOG GULPS DYNAMITE;
KILLED IN AN EXPLOSION
Porker's Head Was Shattered by De
tonation of Blast.

PAGELAND, S. C.-Dynamite, as
feed for pigs, ranks low in the esti-
mate of j. H. Baxter, farmer liv-
ing near here. For his celebrated
herd of porkers has been depleted by
one, and the dynamite is all to blame.
Laborers had been blasting out
stumps in a nearby orchard where
Baxter's pigs are confined. One of
the workmen carelessly left a stick
of the explosive lying on the ground,
and his best hog ran for the prize.
One gulp and it was between the
hogs teeth.
The explosion which ensued COM
pletely shattered the porker's head,
killing it instantly. The body was not
injured, however, and the Baxter
family now has supply of fresh
meat.

GEORGIA LEGISLATORS
RESENT INTERFERENCE
REQUEST OF PRESIDENT THAT
GEORGIA RATIFY SUFFRAGE
REACHES GOV. DORSEY.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Strong demo-
Gratis in the Georgia legislature who
are opposed to the granting of suf-
frage to women through federal con-
stitutional amendment, and yet men
who have for years fought the fights
of the party in this state, are open
ly up in arms over the following tele-
gram which was transmitted to the
senate by Governor Dorsey during
the progress of a second filibuster
being conducted by Senator Elders
"The White House, Washington,
July 15.-Hon. Hugh NJ. Dorsey,
Governor, Atlanta, Gal am pro-
foundly interested in the passage of
the suffrage amendment to the con-
stitution, and would very much val
I've your advice as to the present
status of the matter in the Georgia
legislature.
II would like to be of help, for |
believe that it is absolutely essential
to the political future of the country
that this amendment should be pass
ed and absolutely essential to the for
tunes of the democratic party that it
should play leading part in the sup
port of this great reform.

Committee Makes Report.
I'll 49,, LoJ cro++a,, bnfora tho
senate today not unexpectedly. When
the report of the committee was
brought out last week it was that the
Parker resolution to ratify the fed
eral amendment be adopted by sub
stitute," the substitute being a reso-
luton repudiating the federal amend
ment. At that time Senator Elders
got the floor and filibustered through
two days, finally entangling the ma
iority in a hopeless minority maze.
The following morning, by agree
ment, the resolution was recommltt-
ed to the committee with the hope,
on the part of the suffrage support
ers, that it would remain there and,
if any action be taken, it would be
first upon the passage or the killing
of one of the opening measures to
provide for state suffrage.
However, when the report of the
committee came back this morning,
which was a fixed time, Senator Ell
ders again got the floor and had talk
ed to within thirty minutes of adj
iournment time, when he was hand
ed the foregoing telegram, which he
asked that Secretary McClatchy read.
Immediately there was evident a
sentiment of political passion over
the chamber and it is not going wide
of the mark to say that there were
strong signs of resentment. Senator
jim Flynt sought to draw out from
Senator Elders that the telegram
from the president was sought and
prompted by active workers of the
suffrage party, both of Georgia and
those who are here from elsewhere.

A BLOW IS DEALT
TO dope QUACKS'
DOCTORS MAY PRESCRIBE ONLY
FOR IMMEDIATE NEEDS. DRUG
GISTS ARE LIABLE, TOO.

A ruling just handed down by the
internal revenue department relating
to the sale of drugs by physicians
and druggists will make it almost I'M
possible for drug addicts to get CO.
caine, morphine and opium.
Notice of the new ruling has just
been received here. 1t abolishes the
internal revenue regulation known
as treasury decision 1900, which went
into effect May II, 1915.
Under the old decision physician
was permitted to dispense or pre-
scribe narcotic drugs in a quantity
more than necessary to meet the I'M
mediate demands of patient. Under
the new ruling a physician may pre-
scribe not more than is needed i'm
mediately. The new regulation pro
vides that if a physician gives an
order for more narcotic drugs imam
are needed Immediately he is liable
to prosecution. Likewise a druggist
who fills prescription calling for an
excessive amount of drugs is liable
to prosecution. The regulation is bas-
ed upon recent ruling of the Unit
ed States supreme court.
The federal narcotic agent IS
pleased with the ruling because 1t
will simplify his work. 1t is believed
that the ruling will abolish the fake
prescription writer and the dishon-
est druggist.
It is believed that number of
reputable druggists will cease to
handle drugs in the future in order
to prevent being prosecuted because
of mistakes which are easily posi-

they are pressing their filibuster to

Similar tactics are expected when
the resolution comes up in the house,
although flibusters are not easily

New OrIeans Cotton.

New Orleans, July 12.-Confirma- tion of the reports regarding the inn mediate lifting of the blockade against Germany put the price of cotton to the highest level ever recorded in the history of contract trading to- day.a July being forced up to 35.35 cents a pound. It was not very ac- tive market but the undertone was very steady and values were we'll sus- tained insthe face of considerable real izing from the long side although af- ter the initial bulge the market did not break into new high ground.
 Little else was considered by trad CTS but the probility of large exports and a better spot demand as the re- suit of open commerce with Germany. On the opening, brokers had a large volume of buying orders to fill and executing these the market took on decided strength. Before the session was very old, the trading months were 42 to 50 points higher than the close of yesterday. July was hardly an active month but rose 27 points on a few, trades, closing at the highest. Other months on the close were 22 to 35 points up net.
 The market closed steady, at a net advance of P to 35 points. The range:

COTTON ADVANCES TO 35.18 BECAUSE
 BLOCKADE LIFTED

New York, July 12.-Reports that the shipping boards was preparing to establish shipping facilities for a re- sumption of trade with Germany
 seemed chiefly responsible for very sharp advance in the cotton market during todays earlier trading. Octo-
 Der closed at 31.1S with the general
 list closing very steady at net ad- pance of 15 to 30 points.
 The market opened firm at un- changed prices to an advance of 39 points and sold 40 to 60 points net higher before the end of the first hour with all the active positions go- ing through the 35 cent level. Brok- CTS with Liverpool, Japanese and do- mestlc trade connections were buyers while there was also good demand from Wall Street sources which car ried December contracts up to 35.48 and January to 35.50. The demand then tapered off and offerings in- creased, accompanied by reports that the south was selling freely and real izing was promoted by the more fav- orable average of weather and crop news. Last prices were only a few points up from the low level of the morning.
 l According to Washington advices, considerable amount of cotton has been accumulated in neutral countries for shipment to Germany as soon as practicable.

Chicago Grain.

Chicago, July 12.--Corn advanced rapidly today more or less to broad ened speculative demand which fol- lowed raising of the blockade against Germany. The Market closed ner- vous at 3-4 to 5 Is net advance with September 195 3-4 and Decem- Der 164 5-8 to l64 7-8. Oats gained 2c to 3-4c and provisions 20 to 50 cents.
 Most of the corn trading was in the December delivery, which ascended to a new high level for the season. Sen timent favoring an upturn on the ground of renewed trade with Ger many was based largely on opinion that packing house products and other foodstuffs including grain, would be in keener export demand. In this connection, the fact that new high price records had again been reached in the hog market formed decided clement of strength.
 Oats climbed to the topmost price on record for September delivery. Adverse crop reports were mainly re- sponsible.
 Provisions were lifted by the strength of corn. Trade lacked vol tune, however.
