"CAN'T VOTE FOR HARDIDNG."
Says Man just Before Going to His
Death at Niagara Falls.

Niagara Falls, N. Y, Oct 22.-
Before the eyes of score of sight
seers at Prospect Point today a man
climbed over the railing, waded out
into the river and was carried over
the American falls. Too astonished
to act, the spectators stood by while
the man drifted to the brink of the
falls waving his hands and shouting:
Here's where leave you; good
bye"
In black derby hat found near the
place where the man climbed the rail-
ing was found a piece of paper on
which was written: "This hat be-
longs to Carl A. Ellis, of Hamburg,
N. Y" The description of the sui
eide corresponds to that Of Ellis, who
could not be located in Hamburg to-
night.
The owner of a souvenir stand
near the falls told the police that the
man approached him and laughingly
said: well, 1 can't vote for Hard
ing, so may as we'll go over the
falls"

PILGRIMS SEEK MEXICAN RELIC.
Image of Virgin at Guanajuato Over
1000 Years Old.

Now that travel safety in Mexico
has been restored pilgrimages Of de-
vout Worshipers to the image of Nu-
estra Sonora de Guanajuato, in the
Church of San Francisco at Guanaju-
aot, have set in again. OF the many
figures in the Catholic churches of
Mexico none has more remarkable
history, perhaps, than this image of
Athe Virgin. Aside from the rever-
ance attached to- it by worshipers, it
is an object of unusual scientific in
terest, due to the fact that it is more
than 1900 years old and is in per-
feet state of preservation, although
it is of wood. Huw much farther
back than twelve hundred years the
image dates there is no way of know
ing.
The image was in a church at San
ia Fe, near Granada, Spain, in TIA,
when the Moorish invasion occurred.
When the infidels advanced upon San
ia Fe a few religious devotees hid
the image in the deep recesses Of a
dark damp cave. 1t remained there
eight and one-holf centuries. During
all that time it was held in deepest
reverence by the church Worshipers,
and many were the secret pilgrimages
made to the shrine. Notwithstanding
the caves dampness the wooden i'm
age was not affected.
The image was sent to Mexico in
1857 by King Felipe II as a gift to
the mining camp of Guanajuato IN
recognition of the vast store of pre-
cious minerals which had been sent
from there to the Spanish govern
ment. It was placed in the church
of San Francisco and in 1907 it be-
came the patroness of the city Of
Guanajuato by papal decree. The
vestments of this crudely made wood
en- image are very rich. 1t stands
upon a silver pedestal and wears a
gold crown, studded with gems

Court Records in Aiken.

Aiken, Oct 23.-Report of the
whipping of Peter Mcmahon has been
discussed freely in Aiken since wide
spread publication. No one, however,
can be found who processes to have
any knowledge of the affair.
"A search of the records at the
Aiken court house, shows that prior
to this summer the daughter in ques-
ton had the custody of her father,
who is aged and infirm, in New York,
Atlantic City and other places, and
that the court determined that his
daughters mental condition was such
that she was not a fit custodian of
her father, she having suffered from
various mental troubles, and having
been the inmate of several santa
RUINS.
The legal custody of the father
was then vested for the balance OF
his life in his two sons-in-law, and
he is now in Aiken living at the home
of his married daughters.
The court records further show
that with his consent and the
written consent of the daughter the
property was divided, under the su-
,pervision of teh court, and with it's
approval, and that the daughter in
question, because she was unmarried,
was allowed $4,000 more than the
other two daughters. Her share un-
der the division amounted to $4,000,
while the two married daughters, who
assumed the care of their invalid IA
ther for the balance of his life and
gave heavy. bond for his proper sup
port, received but 100000 each.
In this court proceeding the daugh-
ter in question was represented by
reputable attorneys of Columbia, and
she consented, in writing, to every
step taken by the court. She has re-
Gently had the proceedings examined
by other counsel, who advised her
that they were regular In every re-
spect. and that she had been most
bountifully provided for.

80 Bales of Cotton Burn.

Barnwell, Oct. 22.-W. A. Owens
lost about 19 bales of cotton in the
seed by fire of unknown origin Fri
day night on his farm near Smelling.
Fortunately he had taken out insur-
ance only the day before.
Sunday night or early Monday
morning about eleven bales Of seed
cotton were destroyed by fire on the
farm of, Col. N. G. W. Walker, sew
eral miles from Barnwell. His loss
was also covered by insurance. 1t
is thought that these fires were caus-
by reckless acts of incendiarism in
the misguided efforts Of some parties
to boost the price of cotton.

Mind OF PEOPLE
FULLY MADE UP
WHITE SAYS GOVERNOR COX
WILL WIN.
Ohio and Illinois.
Democratic Chairman Issues State.
ment After Paying a Visit to
Two of the States.

New York, Oct. 21.-Returning to
his headquarters here today after a
trip of inspection through Ohio and
Illinois, George White, chairman of
the Democratic national committee,
issued the following statement:
's'The American people have made
up their minds to elect Governor Cox
and Democratic senate in order to
avert the infamy of a separate peace
with Germany and to save the league.
They are weary of the chorus of Re-
publican katydids who are croaking
<he did, he didn't They have fl
nally concluded to entrust to it's
friends the only plan for world peace
ever agreed to by great nations and
small. They will select four square
president instead of a human weather
vane.
Senator Harding has only stop
ped oscillating once, and that was
when he said c. me league and it's
reservations at Des Moines: 4 do
not want any clearing reservations.
I stand for rejection.
fSenator Johnson points out that
Senator Harding has put the league
behind him and he does not want
the league or any modification of it..
The American people agree with Sen
ator Johnson and they will vote for
Governor Cox, who has put the
league in front of him. Senator
johnson speaks with proper resent
ment of individuals and newspapers
which misrepresent and misinterpret
Senator Harding's words, challenges
their Justification and he properly
calls it, and says bluntly they may
save their faces but not the league.
''In that list of newspapers and
individuals 1 am sure that Senator
johnson silently puts the name of
Senator Harding himself. No one
has been more credulous in trying
to fool the people than the Republi-
can candidate, but Des Moines was
enough for the voters as it was for
Senator Johnson.
sWhen the election is over,
Senator Johnson will publicly add a
name to the list of those who mis-
represented.
'This campaign has become cru
sade for world peace through dis
armament, for truth against false
hood, for straight forwardness as
against double doubt and for Amer
Jean ideals against a policy of disas-
trous isolation.'

SOLDIER KILLS SISTER.
Committed Deed at Her Request to
Relieve Her Suffering.

Johann Strugger, formerly cap
tain in the Australian army, has been
arrested on charge of murder for
shooting and killing his sister at her
own request, according to dispatch
from Constance, Switzerland. The
sister suffered a fracture of her spine
in an Alpine accident last year, knew
her illness to be incurable and had
repeatedly begged the physicians of a
sanitarium of which she was a patient
to relieve her. of her suherings by an
overdose of morphine.
Strugger delivered an ultimatum to
the physicians that if they failed to
comply with his sisters wishes
within five days he would shoot her
himself. This he did with the full
consent of the girl.

"It's no use," sighed the nature

''What is troubling you?" asked
his companion sympathetically.
II started a few years ago on a

tato, and grew some eyes on it, then
I crossed that with cornstAk and

256 Votes Certain, Says White.

New York, Oct. 24.-George White,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, in a statement here to-
day forecasting the election, predict
ed that Cox and Roosevelt will have
256 electoral votes, 'as good as
counted" the Republicans 164, and
that the Democrats will win major
ity of the remaining III.
81 have been making detailed in
vestigation of conditions in the va
rious states,' the statement said.
For two days I have been receiving
revised reports. 1t is now possible
to give to the public statement OF
our prospects of election. I realize
that the customary act of a national
chairman at this stage of the fight
is to claim everything in the hope
that he can persuade wavering vot-
ers to line up with his side.
"Mr. Hays, my antagonist, has Civ
en- me several public lessons in this
obsolete practice lately by claiming
everything except part of the SOU
thern states.
Nevertheless, I am prepared to
make fair and honest statement o1
the situation. I shall reserve the
names of the states we will carry be-
cause the public would not expect
me to acquaint the Republican mana
gers with our campaign plans.
s'But do say this: Governor Cox
and Mr.. Roosevelt will have 222 cleo,
toral votes east of the Missouri rlv-
er, and "a west of the Missouri river
a total of 256 as good as counted
This is within ten of the number nee
essarv to elect. The Republicans
have 164, which regard as good as
counted for them. This leaves Ill
votes in contest. In the decided
swing now in progress toward the
Democratic ticket we will carry the
majority of this Ill, a very comfort
able victory indeed.

bill your firm sent me the other day"
he began.
"Oh, is ihere?" inquired the floor
walker. who was in sarcastic frame
of mind. "And what's wrong with
it? Too big, I suppose"
ooh, no; but:
"Some mistake in the figures?"
''No; it's not that. It's"
Indeed! Don't you think this bill
has been running long enough?"
II dare say; but"
"Then, what are you kicking
about?"
I'm trying to tell you. There's a

the wrong man. I don't owe you a
cent and never will"

PROPOSE COTTON
EXPORT COMPANY
S12.OOO,O 900 CONCERN TO FINANCE
COTTON CROP.
Reserve System Endorsed.
All Resolutions Adopted at Group
Meetings Must Come Before
Convention For Action.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Blanket in
dorsement of the federal reserve sys-
tenn coupled with a pledge to aid the
national railway equipment corpora
ton, organized to help the carriers
obtain equipment, marked the conclu-
sion today of group meetings of the
American Cotton association conven-
ton.
AS an outgrowth of the convention,
however, bankers and others, from
cotton states, took steps preliminary
to the organization of a s12, 100000
crop export financing corporation,
which led to numerous appeals from
cotton growers for government re-
lief. The corporation will be formed
under the Edge act and start opera
tions with an initial capital and sur
plus of S6,0OO,0O0.
The federal reserve system was
given unstinted praise by the nation
al bankers group in resolutions
adopted at their final meeting while
the approval of the equipment cor
poration and the pledge to go before
the state legislatures where neces-
sary to obtain revision of laws pro-
hibiting investment of trust funds in
such securities was voted by the saw
ings banks sections. Their action
was based on the increased values
given all railroad securities through
creation of the equipment corporation
the resolution said.
Sharp Opposition.
Endorsement Of the federal reserve
system, which included approval of
it's administration, brought the ma
tional bankers again in sharp opposi-
tion to the stand taken by the state
bankers who yesterday denounced the
several phases of the reserve boards
work. Leaders in the two groups of
bankers believed tonight the differ
ence between the two sections might
come to light when the report of the
resolutions committee reaches
floor of the convention tomorrow. All
resolutions adopted in sectional meet
ings will be considered by the asso-
citation committee and final action be
taken by the whole convention.
Several Hundred Bankers.
The crop financing corporation pro-
ject took shape at an informal meet
ing of several hundred bankers and
representatives of cotton interests. A
special committee, headed. by Robert
F. Maddox, of Atlanta, presented a
favorable report.
Although specific mention was
avoided, speakers indicated that es-
tablishment of the corporation would
mean an early opening Of sales ne
gotiations with European manufac-
turers, who were said to be in the
market for 100000 bales of cotton.
Mr.. Maddox declared that the cor
poration was not proposed in any
sense as a vehicle for the holding OF
crops but as a facility for their mar
keting.

Why She Left,

A fussy bachelor engaged a cook,
whose professional skill was conspic-

bravely for one dyspeptic month

Shortly afterward she applied to
