BANKER CORRECTS
WRONG COTTON IDEA
Says Speculators Think Farmers
OverstOcked With Cotton
Acreage Reduced.

Vicksburg, Miss. May 9.-George
L. Hackett, president Of the citizens
National Bank, this city, has adj
dressed a letter to the Manufactur-
ers' Record, publication issued in
Baltimore, Md, in which he seeks to
correct the mistaken idea circulated
by Spectators" who are creating
the impression that the millions. of
bales of linters on hand are just so
many bales of long staple or Bend
err cotton. The impression is Great.
ed that the cotton farmers are over
stocked with long staple cotton, and
that the spinhers can work along
with the linters and short staple un-
til the farmers are foced to sell at
any price, however low it may be.
Mr.. Hackett's letter showing that
the cotton farmers have reduced the
cotton acreage; that they are diver
styling; that fewer Southern farms
are in the hands of mortgage compa-
nies than ever before, will be financ-
ed this year to the extent of their
needs, and viii raise their own food
stuffs so that they will not have to
go away from home to buy food and
fodder, follows:- !
''The impression has prevailed
with the spectators that, the South
ern farmers were vverstucked with
cotton, and that they would be forc-
ed to sell in order to raise sufficient
funds to make their new crop.
mo greater mistake could have
been made. as the Southern farmers
are not only In a position to hold
their cotton, but can fnd all the
money they require to finance them.
1T is true they cried wolf at the
start, as was the case of others; but
having been so accustomed to revers-
es and to recovering therefoFm, they
again review the past with that no
Bile characteristic that becomes the
Southern farmer, accepts the situa-
ton, then goes forward with fixed
determination to do their best.
Where cotton acreage has been
reduced from 80 to SO per cent, and
a further reduction will take place
when the boil weevil makes its usual
visit, an abundance of feed and food
stuffs has been planted to take the
place Of cotton, and the Southern
farmers are cheerful with ii all.
/"High water has time and time a.
gain wiped out all crops and driven
the farmers from their homes. Still
they have always managed to come
out on top, as II is hard to keep good
men down.
Fewer Southern Farms are in the
lands of mortgage. companies haI
ever before, and statistics show that
mortgages have been reduced con-
siderably.

sion that it is on the verge Of bank

minds, as they will find diffsrsni
picture confronting them should they

''If the spectators would only bt
straightforward in their representa-.
tfons of conditions that truly exist
there would not have been any causs
for depression.
There Is only one way and thai
is the way OF truth. Therefore. Il

REVENGE IS THEORY
IN GOSS TRAGEDY
Man 65 Years Old Slain While
Flowing and One Arrest
is Made.

Columbia, Miss, May TO-. Seeking
to avenge the shooting and wound
ing Saturday OF young brother,
Irwin Buckley, of near Goss. Q
miles from Columbia, yesterday af-
ternoon emptied two loads of buck
shot from shotgun into the back
and neck of John Harrington. 6S
years old, according to the authori-
ties, killing Harrington instantly.
The alleged slayer was arrested last
night and Jailed in Columbia this
morning.
Harrington was slain as he was
blowing in field on the farm of his
nephew, Hardy Manton, where he re-
sided. indications being that the
slayer concealed himself in an adj
joining field and fred before the
aged man knew Of his danger.
Mr., ,Manton, Sheriff o. j. Foxworth
and other parties saw the man who
fired the shots rise from behind a
stump close by and run off into, the
nearby woods and although they
gave chase Immediately, the perpe-
traitor of the crime easily outdistanc-
ed the officer and others who Joined
in the chase. A young man named
Stuckey, who was plowing in an ad-
Joining field, claims to have recog-
nfZed the man with the gun as Ir-
vim Buckley one of the Buckley
brothers who were known to hare
had some words with Harrington a
day or so ago, the authorities say.
Last Saturday afternoon near Man
tons home, Horace Buckley, a young
brother of Irwin Buckley, was shot
through the left lung by pistol bull
let and now lies seriously injured
at the Columbia Hospital. Buckley
says that Harrington suddenly ap-
peared before him in the road near
Holidays Creek, having on a wo-
mans bonnet and a cloth over his
face, but that he recognized the man
by his voice and clothes, and that he
! fired upon him without warning and
that after he fell he jumped on him
and started to shoot again but that
he begged the man not to shoot a
gain and that someone coming up
frightened the man away.
Buckley was brought here for
treatment and his brothers had an
affidavit sworn out against Herring
ton, who was placed under a 5000
bond by the local justice of the
peace. This bond was not satisfac-
tory to some of the Buckley broth
ers and they urged Sheriff Foxworth
to go to the Manton home and rear
rest Harrington and require at least
bond of $1,000.
Sheriff Foxworth left Columbia a
little after o'clock yesterday after
noon in company with Sydney Buck
ley and driver and went to Man
tons home, leaving Sydney Buckley
near his home, short distance from
Manton's home, and he was standing
In the yard talkingiw Mr.. Manton
about the matter when they were
startled by the shots fired and soon
saw a man running away. Herring
ton was found lying in pool of
blood near where he had been plow-
ing some sugar cane and only lived
a few minutes after being shot.
District Attorney Hall went to the
scene of the killing last night and
upon the information filed by young
Stuckey and others, had Irwin Buck
ley arrested charged with the kill
