President Charles P. Barrett of the National Farmers' Union has issued a statement to the Southern farmers urging them to hold their cotton, and calls upon them to borrow money, if necessary, in order to hold the crop. In Speech Before Arkansas State Fair John M. Parker Shows Value of Publicity. Hot Springs, Ark. Advice to the Southern farmers to advertise their farm products in newspapers was giv en here at the state fair in an ad dress by John M. Parker of New , Or leans, president of the Southern Com mercial Congress. "The Northern and Western farmer is up-to-date," said Mr. Parker. "He advertises what he has to sell, and pays the expense of that advertise ment and derives the highest price for his product." Newspapers, Mr. Parker said, have led in the diversified farming move ment; have- helped bring settlers into the South, and have been of great practical benefit to Southern agricul ture, tut nevertheless their "adver tisements are totally disproportionate with those of Northern papers." The loss to the farmer in failing to adver tise. Mi-. Parker thought, was even mere scriou3 than the loss to the papers. PORTUGAL EXILES PRI ESTS. Lisbon Soldiers Sent to Rout Jesuits Out of Subterranean Passages. Lisbon, Portugal. Battles between soldiers of the republican provisional government andL Jesuit priests, who have defied the order to leave Por tugal, are being fought in subterra nean passages leading from the mon asteries. The Jesuits are the only priests who have openly disobeyed the mandate of the new republic. Instead of leaving the country, they took refuge in the ancient underground passages, some of which were dug over a century ago Soldiers have been sent after the priests and firing was heard often in the ancient subways under the city. Nearly 500 nuns from the Quelhas and Trinas convents are being es corted to the frontier, where they will be driven into Spain. Many of them are. in ill health and a few are ac companied by orphan children. Great animosity is shown toward the remaining Catholic prelates, es pecially toward the Jesuits, who are being expelled as rapidly as they are found.

President Taft finally approved plans for raising the wreck of the battleship Maine from Havana harbor, which call for the completion of the work on or before the thirteenth anniversary of the de struction of the war vessel, February 15, next. The work is to be done according to plans made by army en gineers, and is to be under 'the di rection of an engineer officer. President Taft said that the para mount question in the raising of the Maine is the determining fo all time of the cause of the explosion and whether the source of destruction was from the' outside or inside the vessel. For this reason he desires that the work shall be retained in the hands of the army engineers and not let put by contract. By direction of the President, Spain has been invited to send a representa tive to Havana to be present during the work of exposing and removing the wreck. WAR ON THE HOOKWORM. Experts Will Try to Rid Alabama of Life-Sapping Disease. Montgomery, Ala. From now on the hookworms which are thriving in Alabama soil will have a hard time of it, if it is at all possible for Dr. W. W. Dinsmore of Decatur, Ala., to put into effect some of the ideas that he has regarding the eradication of the parasite.

Naval orders to this effect were issued at the Navy Department. Ruling on Mother-in-Law. New York. The new court of do mestic relations here has officially ruled that a man is not obliged to support his mother-in-law. "There is no legal ground for the belief of many women that when they marry a man they can saddle their whole family on him," declared the magistrate in a divorce case. "A man is not obliged to support his mother-in-law. Further more, if a wife leaves her husband and goes to live with her- mother, the hus band is not required to support her, nor her mother." Savannah Gets Auto Race. New York City. The contest com mittee of the Automobile Club of America acted favorably upon the ap plication of the Savannah Automobile Club and the municipal authorities of that city -to transfer the grand prize automobile race from Long Island to Savannah. The decision of the contest commit tee is subject to ratification by the board of governors of the Automobile Club of America. , A tentative date of November 12 itti been set for the contest. 14-Cent Cotton . in Montgomery. Montgomery, Ala. Owing to the excellent weather which has prevailed throughout this week, cotton from sec tions immediately in the neighborhood of Montgomery is being regularly brought to market, where it is bring ing a record price around the 14 cent mark for this season of the year. As a consequence, the planter is feel ing disposed to rid himself of the staple while the excellent prices pre vail, despite advice which he has had which urges him to hold the . fleece for a flat 15 cents. Confederate Monument Improved. Washington. Marking the last rest ing place of 4.500 officers and men of. the Confederate army and navy who died as prisoners of war at Camp Douglas between 1862 and 1865, a ?25,000 monument on a mound in Oakwood cemetery in Chicago is to be improved . greatly. Under a spe cial act of congress, a contract has been awarded for raising the base, and building sixteen tablets. Theje tablets will bear the names, rank, the company and regiment of the 4,500 Beverly, Mass. President Taft will sail for the Isthmus of Panama on November 10 from Charleston, S. C He will make the trip on the ar mored cruiser North Carolina, and will be conveyed by the sister ship, the Montana. The President will be gone about twelve days. The North Carolina and Montana can make the journey in each direction in four days. This will give Mr. Taft about four days, on the isthmus. The President had practically giv en up all iiea of visiting the canal this year until Col. George W. Goe- thals, chief engineer of the canal, vis ited him. At the end of the visit Mr. Taft had been convinced that the problems, confronting the officials at Panama require his presenco on the isthmus. Although his visit will be a flying one, the President expects to be able to secure first-hand information re gajding a number of problems of which he will call upon congress to deal at its session. Some of the prob lems to be dealt with in the immedi ate. future are as follows: The extent and character of the for tifications, the fixing of tolls for the passage of vessels through the canal, a proposed increase in wages, the fu ture management of the Panama rail road, the form of permanent govern ment for the Canal Zone, and the reg ulation of the sale of coal at the ter minus points. Tne date for opening the Panama canal has been set for January 11, 1915. President Taft and Colonel Goethals believe it will be completed and open long before that time. Washington. It is estimated that $47,920,848 will be required to con tinue the construction of the Panama canal during the fiscal year The principal items are $19,211,306 for skilled and-unskilled labor and ?19,1S6,751 for the purchase and de livery of material and supplies. An estimate of $1,000,000 is submit ted for the re-location of the Panama railroad. The total appropriations on account of the canal to date are $248, 002,668. Of that amount $40,000,000 ,va epaid for the Frencn rights and $10,000,000 to Panama. Steady progress in the construction of the canal is shown by the month ly report of Chief Engineer Goethals to the isthmian canal commission. SUNDAY FUNERALS TABOOED. Cemetery Guardians Are Not Willing to Work on Sunday, Chattanooga, Tenn. The twenty fourth annual convention of the Amer ican Association of Cemetery Superin tendents closed.

DAMAGE BY BOLL WEEVIL Moderate Deterioration in Condition ofjthe Cotton Crop Shown by Re port of the Corerspondents.' 4 New Orleans. Based on reports from correspondents : throughout the cotion belt, the Times-Democrat makes the following report of cot ton crop conditions; Taking the belt as a whole, a mod erate deterioration . has occurred. The boll weevil has done extensive dam age in parts of Mississippi, Louisia na and Arkansas, and there are com plaints of other insects in some sec tions. . The ultimate outcome Js still large ly dependent upon the date of killing frost. Farmers seem disposed to sell enough to pay their debts and ' hold the remainder. CAUSE OF CIVIL WAR. General Grosvenoc Says War Was the Fault of the Constitution. Chattanooga, Tenn. Gen. Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio delivered the annual oration before the Society of the Army of the Cumberland here. The general told his hearers it was high time to quit waving the "bloody shirt;" that the war is over, and that we are all Americans now. The South em soldier fought for the principle he thought to be right, said the speak er, and he did the best he could. In studying the history of the Civil war one should not stop at Appomattox, he saiS, but should follow the Southern soldier as he builded up a nation from desolation and ruin. "An indissoluble union of indissol uble states," was the : omission from the constitution of the United States which caused the war of the sixties, was the declaration of General Gros venor.

All will depend on how -I stand, the work in Washington when I go there in De cember." This statement by United States Senator B. R. Tillman, disposes of the recent persistent rumors that be cause of failing health the senior South Carolina senator had decided to retire from public life at the conclu sion of his present term in the sen ate. , EX-SENATOR INDICTED. Ex-Senator Gardner Alleged to Have Offered $25,000 Bribe. New York. Former State Senator Frank J. Gardner of Brooklyn was ndicted as briber by. the New York grand Jury. The Indictment was re turned after ex-Senator Foelker, whose one vote defeated the anti-race track gambling bills, bad testified be fore the grand jury.

' Art Dealers Defrauded Government. New York City. The entire Fifth avenue establishment of the five Du veen brothers, known the world over as dealers in rare art objects and an tiques, was seized by Federal officers and Benjamin J. Duveen, the only members of the firm in the city, was arrested, charged with conspiracy to defraud the government of eustoms dues. Henry A. Wise, United. States district attorney, in asking for heavy bail, said the frauds would reach more than $1,000,000, and that all five brothers were implicated Berry to Mark Confederate Graves. Washington. The appointment of former Senator James H.. Berry as commissioner to superintend tne marking of the graves of Confederate soldiers who died in Northern prisons during the war is greeted with ex pressions of gratification in Washing ton. The late Gen. William C. Oates of Alabama, whom he succeeded, had ac complished a great deal toward Iden tifying and having marked the graves cf the Confederate soldiers, who died far from their homes. Roosevelt Talks to Catholics. Peoria, .111. Ex-President Roose velt came up from the South into Il linois, denounced corrupt legislators and commended work which the Cath olic church is doing in all parts of the world. It was Colonel Roosevelt's first pub- J lie utterance to Roman Catholics since the' Vatican incident last spring. He said he favored the broadest meas ure of religious toleration, and .be lieves that some time in the future a Catholic will be. president of the Unit ed States. New Cotton Bills Popular. New Orleans. After a month of ac tual use new certificate cotton bills of lading are becoming popular, ac cording to officials of railroad and steamship lines who have put the cer tificate plan into effect here. Practi cally every Southern railroad adopted the certificates on or about September 1, it Is said.

' . ...... .:. . . ... . Penny Postage In Sight. Washington. "Before the close of another fiscal year the- Federal postal establishment will . begin being self sustaining. This will be accomplish ed without curtailing in the slightest the service rendered or lessening its efficiency- This statement was made by Postmaster General Hitchcock in connection with " the announcement that he had submitted to the-Treasury Department his estimates of propriations for the Postoffice Depart ment and postal service during the fiscal year beginning July 1. COTTON PLAN FAILS SCHEME TO GUARANTEE. COTTON BILLS OF LADING RECEIVES A DECIDED SETBACK. SOUTHERN BROKERS OPPOSE NO. 10. GIVE HEN PLENTY OF SPACE Southern Exchanges Contend That Plan Would Place" an Unjust ' Tax Upon the Farmers. New York. Due largely to the un compromising attitude of some South ernCotton exchanges, the plan to cre 3ffeJ a "guaranty company" to over come the difficulties now attending the European bankers and Sir Ed ward W. Holden, representing the Eu ropean banking interests, would ratify the previous action, and work out de tails of the plan; instead of which the meeting broke up abruptly with' a general ..misunderstanding. It was learned after the conference that the protesting Southern ex changes openly condemn the "guar anty company" plan as unreasonable and visionary. This opposition was so pronounced that it caused the American committee to pause. Tho outcome was hardly a general disap pointment, however, for some of the conference are inclined to adopt a policy of inaction in the belief that the foreigners will soon extend the ac ceptance of American cotton bills from October 31 to December 31. In this event the American committee will have ample time to arrive" at a definite understanding." New Orleans. General opposition throughout the South manifested It self when announcement was made in New York of the plan to organize a foreign company to guarantee cotton bills of lading. Although the proposed charge for guaranteeing is only 6 or 7 Cents a bale, Southern cotton men contend that in the aggregate such a scheme would place a heavy burden on the planter, broker and merchant, and that the reputable firms of the South should not be made to suffer for tie alleged frauds of concerns which have been pretending for several years to sell vast quantities of a-staple com modity at bargain counter prices. Such a plan "is an insult to the re putable cotton firms of the South," is the gist of a resolution, passed by the Memphis cotton exchange, while prominent Atlanta business men are quoted as declaring that whatever is done "it will come out of the farm ers' pocket." - Resolutions passed by the Houston cotton exchange declare it "an un just tax," and similar resolutlonshave been passed by the cotton- exchange at Dallas, while the resolutions of the New Orleans exchange assert that "the proposed guaranteed proposition would single cotton out from all other products and make it the peculiar ob ject of discrimination and burdensonie conditions." The resolutions of the Southern ex changes were telegraphed to William A. Nash, who is presiding at the con ference of representatives of Ameri can banks and foreign banks and for eign buyers in New York. Although many private suggestions have been made as to the advisability of Southern cotton men holding a con ference, the resolutions of the vari ous Southern exchanges did not crys tallize in the form of a call for a general convention to discuss the mat ter. ' Most of Trouble Experienced by Be ginners Is That They Cramp Fowls in Close Quarters. How often we hear of some one who has a large number of chickens com plaining of getting only a few eggs each day. Again we learn of others having only a few hens who get near ly as many eggs each day as they have fowls. This is the rule rather than the exception. ' v ' : The secret of the trouble Is over crowding in houses and yards. Too many animals living together In a limited space . will not thrive. The house, grounds and atmosphere be come filled with their excretion and exhalations. When one becomes ill a large part or all of them, become 111, and 'conditions are "such that low production or fatal results soon fol low. , The beginner, and many did timers, make the. grave , mistake of giving their poultry too little room. Simply because a large number of chickens will crowd into a house or coop, they allow them to roost In a crowded con dition. They economize in space and lose in1 development of young stock and In egg production of old stock They, are among the number that de clare that there is no profit in poultry. The Plymouth Rock breed, while of a hardy variety, are inclined to .fight when crowded too closely. Ample roosting space and plenty of nests should be provided if best results are desired from them. . ' While roosting during the "hesting period at night," poultry need3 an abundance of fresh air to breathe. The average poultry house is poorly sup plied with windows and other means of proper ventilation. The birds on the roost breathe the same air Parson Charged With Fraud. Boston. Federal authorities visited the extensive offices of the Redeem able Investment company at 85 Dey onshire street, and came away with Manager Charles H. Brooks, and sev era! thousand dollars in cash, all tak en under a warrant charging the use of the mils in a scheme to defraud. Of fleers are hunting for Rev. Norman Plass, the president of the company, who has the alleged indorsement as an individual of a number of proml- ment men, including, of Secretary of the Interior Richard A.

New York City. Two New York brokerage houses failed with liabili ties aggregating nearly two million dollars. One is the stock exchange of Charles Minzesheimer & Co., the oth er ihe firm of Thomas G. Gaylord, who "was engaged in business under the name of Latham, Alexander & Co., cotton and stock brokers. In each case assignments for the benefit cf creditors were made. Bainbridge Colby, attorney for the flrm, was named as assignee by the Minzeshei mer company. - . Extreme Cholera Precaution, New York City.

Where many birds must be confined in a small house the house should be en tirely open at the front to insure a constant change of . air through - the night. Also, under this condition, the house should be cleaned extra often to prevent the accumulation of filth and the arising of noxious odors.
