SORE THROATS
AND COUGHS
Quickly Relieved By This Safe
Prescription

Here's doctors prescription
called Thoxine that is really throat
insurance. Its success is due to its
quick double action. With the very
first swallow it soothes the sore
throat and stops the coughing. 1t
goes direct to the internal cause.
The remarkable thing about ThoX-
inc is that while it relieves almost
instantly it contains nothing harm
full, and is pleasant tasting and safe
for the whole family. Singers and
speakers find ThOXine very valuable.

HARRISBURG. W.. va, Sept. 20.
-(Sunday)-P]-A crowd Of per-
sons estimated at upward Of 1000
gathered about the Harrison county
iail here tonight where Harry +.
Powers, accused slayer Of two wo-
men and thrse children Is con-
fined.
Deputy sneriffs were attempting
70 hold back the assemblage and
three. arrests were made after
tear gas bombs had been dis
charged TO discourage any attempt
which might be made to storm the
jail.
This mornings mob was the
first to assemble at the entrance OF
the county prison since detectives
we're questioning Powers following
his arrest late in August AMI the
subsequent uncovering Of his Quiet
Dell murder farm" on the out
skirts Of the city. At that time
threats of lynching were heard
but the crowd was persuaded to
disperse.
From conversation among the
crowd, it was indicated those on
rumors afloat curing the day that
hand had gathered as a result OF
an effort would be made TO seek
vengeance on the accused slayer.
Those on hand wer mostly men
and boys although there were sew
eral women. They filled the street
at the entrance to the jail. Shouts
Of bring Powers OUT, and we
want Powers could be heard.
There was no immediate, con-
certed effort to rush the jail door,
the assemblage appearing to believe
that another mob was on its way
from somewhere to do the actual
storming. Whether any such plan
was to be executed could not be
verified.
All available city and county Off
GERS were hurriedly summoned to the
jail.
The fire department was called in
to action but as soon as hose had
been attached to MIGRANTS II was
cut by members of the mob and this
effort was abandoned. The city and
county officers, augmented by state
policemen, continued to throw tear
gas bombs. scattering the crowd and

80 PER Cent
SLASH.
AGREED UPON
Solons Expected To
Accept Report Of
Committee

AUSTIN, Sept. 10. -(RJ- The
free conference committee on cot
ton early tonight agreed to limit
the 1882 acreage to 80 per cent OF
the land In cultivation this year.
The committee had been named to
adjust differences between the
two houses of the legislature.
Conferees said the compromise
bill would be ready for ~presenta-
ton to the legislature early Mon
day. Its quick acceptance by both
houses was regarded as likely.
50 Per Cent Reduction
The bill will be recommended
unanimously by the free confer
ence committee. members said.
They stated they had reached the
conclusion that II would mean q
so per cent reduction from this
years crop.
No farmer would be permitted
TO grow cotton on more than 80
per cent Of the land which he
cultivated this year. In 1888, he
could not raise the staple on more
than 80 per cent OF the land he
had in cultivation in all crops in
1882. After that there would be no
percentage restriction. but no land
could be planted to cotton two
years In succession.
About 81 or So per cent OF the
Texas farm land was in cotton this
year. At first glance. 1t would seem
a reduction to 30 per cent would
not mean a one-half curtailment.
but conferees explained that the
land In some sections either was
unsuitable for cotton or the farm
ers there preferred to raise some
thing else.
The free conference committee
reached its agreement after some
seven hours of labor. The legisla-
ture marked time while the con-
ferees worked. Late today, several
members of the conference COM
mittee suggested to Gov. Sterling
that governors OF other cotton
states be calleu to Austin early
next week to formulate a uniform
SoetoA SOLAtAO4 program lOL the
south, but the chief executive
stated he did not believe any bene-
fit would come from further inter-
state conferences.
Working Two Weeks
The legislature. called into ex-
traordinary session by Gov. Ross
5. Sterling expressly to answer a
demand of farmers that legislation
be enacted in an effort to bolster
the cotton market through reduce
ing the supply, had been working
almost two weeks.
Enactment of cotton acreage re
duction legislation moved slowly
during the past week. It notably
was lacking in interest until the
house and senate started firing
broadsides at Gov. Huey p. Long OF
Louisiana. sponsor Of the mo cot
ton in 1892 plan OF r~escuing south
ern farmers from the economic
mire OF six cent cotton. Resent
ment against the activity OF the
Louisiana executive in invading
Texas via radio and charging the
legislature had been bought like
2 sack Of corn" to oppose the cot
ton holiday plan undoubtedly
played a part in causing both
houses 10 turn thss plan down.
