DEATHS IN FAMILY FEUD.
Two Killed, On. Dying and Olhera
Hurt la 0arc;ta Battle.
Lyons, Ga., April 17. Two dead,
one dying and probably one or two
others slightly wounded are the
fruits of a Sunday afternoon battle in
a family feud of long standing late
today in Emmanuel county.
The dead are A. S. Collins,, a well-
to-do- farmer, and his son, Wilson
Collins. Marion Lewis is so badly
wounded that he Is expected to die at
any moment.
The battle was between the families
of Collin9 and Lewis, and wa3 the
outcome of a dispute over a public '
road crossing. The two families re
side less than a mile apart, and the
county -line runs between" their
homes. They met in a lane this af
ternoon near the Lewis home. The
members of the Collins family were
armed with pistols, and two shot
guns were used on the other side.
Joseph Lewis, father of Marlon, is
alleged to have fired the shot that
ended the life of the elder Collins.
The sheriffs of both Toombs and Em
manuel .counties have gone to the
scene of the trouble accompanied by
physicians. . -
As both families are well-to-dd and
well known, the shooting aroused
both counties. It was known ! that
they were not on the best of terms.
Communication with the scene of
the battle can be maintained only by
a rural telephone line, and details are
meagre. - However, it wa3 learned
that a dozen or more shots were fired
and it was stated that those wounded
besides Marion Lewis are not seri
ously hurt. -

Government Alma At Tboii Rapn
Ibl for High Price.
New York, April 18. There will
be Btarted in New York tomorrow a
Federal in vestige tion without prece
dent in this country. . The Attorney
General of the United States has or
dered an inquiry into the gigantic
bull movement in cotton with which
the names of James Patten of Chica
go; Frank B. Hayne and William P.
Brown of New Orleans and Eugene
Scales of Texas have been popularly
connected. : ; '
Hayne and 'Brown both appear as
lefendants in the proceedings, but it
could not be-learned whether Mr.
Patten will be subpoenaed at Chicago
to come here and testify.'''' He has
been generally credited, however,
with being the financial genius of the
podTand in recent interviews he has
outlined his bullith position and his
determination to fight the supposed
bear clique which has been reshipping
cotton from this country to England
in an endeavor to break the market.
The bull movement has reached such
a stage, however, that there are ru
mors of a possible May corner in the
New York market. ;
ACTION" UNPRECEDENTED.
Never before has the government
brought similar action against any
pool operating in the market on eith
er the long or short side. Subpoenas
were issued at the direction of ; Mr.
Wickersham, commanding a dozen
or more prominent New York cotton
brokers to appear before a special
Federal grand jury tomorrow to tes
tify in the matter of the United
States against Frank B. Hayne and
William P. Brown." r ;
The subpoenas demand the submis
sion to the special grand jury of all
records, papers, letters, memorandas
and an agreement dated February 26
last by Hayne and Brown and others.
The agreement, the subpoenas state,
was for the purchase of 150,000 bales
of cotton for delivery in New York
during the months of May and July
inclusive at certain prices and under
certain conditions. The fixing of the
prices and Jconditions, the govern
ment charges was a violation of the
law. j
ACTION DEMORALIZES MARKET.
Announcement of the government's
action was followed by a very excited
break in prices on theNew YorkCotton
Exchange, which at one tima bade
fair to result in almost as great a de
moralization as that noted last Janu
ary. Early In April, the market had
a very severe break under heavy liq
uidation and at that time there were
rumors circulating that the bulls
were abandoning the position, but a
considerable recovery in prices Bince
then suggested that the selling had
been largely in the way of outaide
liquidation and during the past week
or ten days there have been renewed
rumors of an impending squeeze.
The position in the near . months at
any rate has led to heavy shipments
of cotton to New York for delivery
on contracts and the arrivals report
ed today were in excess of 23,000
bales, including nearly 11,000 bc'es
from Liverpool, while Ihe stock of
cotton available for delivery on con
tract has already increased from about
87,000 bales to 120,000 bales. Even
so, it has been apprehended in local
circles that the amounts of cotton ar
riving here from the south and abroad
were not sufficient to completely satis
fy the contracts held by the bull lead
ers which have Deen estimated at
400,000 bales, and there has probably
been some scattered 'buying based
upon an expected successful Issue of
the bull campaign. ,
BULL LEADERS PROFITS.
The selling which followed today's
threat of possible legal obstacles to
bullish plans, probably represented,
in a measure, tha liquidation of this
scalled trailing interest. In addi
tion there were undoubtedly some
selling for the account of professional
traders ' on the idea that legal action
might force the liquidation of the bull
holdings. But usually close students
of trading around the local ring ex
pressed the opinion after the close
that the bull leaders themselves had
increased rather than reduced their
contract holdings, and the market
ruled considerably steadier In the
late trading and closed at a loss of
only from 10 to 19 points ior the
day.
SOUTHERN OPERATORS FEAR.
Atlanta, Ga., April 18. Southern
cotton mill operators are alarmed
over the action instituted in New
ork by the Federal authorities
against tne leaders or the Dull cam
paign and profess to see in it a cov
ert effort on the part of certain New
York cotton brokers to get relief from
contracts with mills.
They assert that the government
unwittingly is co-operating with the
bears in another and what they fear
will prove a most disastrous "raid."
Many mill men in this section to
night wired Congressman and : Sena
tors appealing to them to institute an
ivestigatlon with a view to uncover
ing the "conspiracy" which they de
clare appears to exist.
Fuller E. Calloway, of La Orange,
Ga., president of mills at Con vers
and Manchester, Ga., and treasurer
of three large mills at LaOrange, Ga.,
tonight gave to the Associated Press
the following statement:
"I ana an officer of severer mills
that have bought cotton on the New
York cotton exchange at ,a lower
price v than it can be bought in the
South. We intend to take up and
manufacture this cotton this summer.
It occurrs to me that undoubtedly
Attorney General Wickersham was
unwittingly inspired by bears who
have sold what they do not own,
thereby, depressing the cotton mar
ket at the expense of the farmers
and demoralizing the market for cot
ten goods.
: "A great manny mills have bought
cotton on the New York, cotton ex
change cheaper than it is selling in
the South aad intend demanding the
cotton. The bears hope by this at
tack to Bcare the mills out of this le
gitimate trade and further demoral
ize the cotton and cotton goods mar
ket. In my opinion this attack will
prove a boomerang for the bears, as
it only accentuates the shortness of
the last cotton crop and betrays the
predicament they are in through
having sold something they did not
own.
"I cannot believe that the more re
sponsible members of the New York
cotton exchange are behind this
movement, as it questions the right
of mills to buy contracts at the New
York cotton exchange with the ex
pectatation of receiving the cotton
whereby denying the exchange rea
son or existence."
CAUSES DEBILITY.
Here Are Facta Backed l'p by Strvng
OaaraalH.
Catarrh causes debility. In our
opinion, most people suffering from
general debility have catarrh. Such
cases of debility cannot be completely
cured by medicine Dot designed to
eradicate catarrh. In every case
where our remedy fails to give entire
satisfaction we will not charge a cent
for the medicine employed during the
trial Now, surely no one should
hesitate to believe us or to put our
claim to a practical test under such
conditions. We will take all the risk;
no one else can lose anything by the
transaction.
We make these statements and this
offer because we know and have time
and cgain proved that Ilex a 11 Mucu
Tone rarely fails to do as we claim.
It is not a cure-all prescribed to cure
every disease that flesh is heinto. It
is intended for one purpose, I. e., to
cure catarrh by assailing the diseased
condition in a reasonable, eclentific
way, which is to employ agenta that
have been found to have the tonic
and alterative power to correct faulty
metabolism (tissue change) and to
stimulate and help nature overcome
the cause or causes of catarrh. This
being done, appetite increases, nutri
tion improves, weight is gained, com
fort of body is attained and life's
work taken up with" the ze9t natu
ral to the perfectly healthy individ
ual. ,
"We want you to try Rex a II Mucu
Tone. Follow directions and take
it regularly and consistently for a rea
sonable length of time. Then, if you

Rochester, N. Y. April 19. More
than 6,000 voters of Monroe county
changedx from Republican to the
Democratic column today and elected
the first Democratic Congressman
that has represented the thirty-second
district In 20 years, Jame3 Ha

Monroe county which comprises
the 32 ad congressional district, is nor

James E. Perkins, whose death in
tbe middle of his third congressional
term necessitated a special election
today carried the' district in 1908 by
10,167 votes.
""Taking the vote of the presiden
tial year 1908 for comparson the to
tal turn over vote of the district was
8,033. It Is acknowledged, however,
that Mr. Perkins' vote in that year
was abnormal, and, accepting the
average Republican plurality us a
Btandard, the change from the Repub
lican to the Democratic columns
amounts to about 6,000.
Havens had arrayed against' him
one of the strongest political organi
zations In the State. Yet, in a cam
paign lasting but seventeen days and
with hastily constructed machinery,
he accomplished one of the moast re
markable overturns In political his

takes its place beside the Democratic
victory of the fourteenth Massachu

was sent to Congress from a district
supposed to be as rock-ribbed Repub

It is on record that the brack was
used on a few occasions to punish
men guilty of using obscene language,
but such instances are rare, and the
brank, or scold's bridle, was made,
as the came indicates, to be worn by
women whose great fault was that of
possessing too long a tongue a fairly
common failing today! Although
never a legalized instrument of tor
ture, it was nevertheless much used
during the the sixteenth, seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, and is fre
quently mentioned in the literature
of those times, while an early Eng
lish poet shows the general attitude
toward it in the lines:
But for my daughter Jnllane, I would sbo
. were well bolted with a bridle,
That leaves her work to play the clack, and
lets her work stand idle.
It cannot be denied that the brank
was often used without Justice or mer
cy, for those who authorized its us
age were petty provincial tyrant and
borough physicians, and bo doubt it
was a handy weapon wherewith to
pay old scores. It seems very strange
that it was not put a stopjo, but per
haps those in a position to closure
the practise were secretly in favor of
it.
There are still a great many of the
old scold's bridles extant, and Ches
hire possesses no fewer than 13 of
them, and was ever well were to the
fore in their use, although there is no
reason to suppose that the women
of that county wera possessed of
more shrewish tongue than their
neighbors. In shape the bridles dif
fered grealty, some being fairly mer
ciful and others very much the re
verse. The ordinary brank was a
framework of iron, which was lock
ed on the culprit's head. In front of
the mouth a plate, a gag, or some
times a sharp knife, was fixed in such
a position that it entered the mouth
and pressed tbe tongue, causing ago
ny if the 'uaruly roc mot rv was
moved. At the back a Bhort chain
was attached to tbe collar which was
held by the guard, who, if he chose,
could inflict severe wounds on his
charge by Jerking the chain. Some
times tbe delinquent was chained to
the pillory,-where ehe stood, an ob
ject of scorn and derision, for as long
as the beadle chose, while the high
spirited youth of the town pelter her
with objeclional refuse. The general
custom was, however, to lead her
thicugh tbe town so that all might
see and recognize in her one "ovtr
feed" of "playing the clfick." One
surmi8 that very few women had to
undergo this treatment a second time,
unless, that Is, the local authorities
bore them a grudge.
