Washington, April 29. "The io
vrstipation into the salea of cotton
which Attorney-General Wiekesham
U conductieg has cost the American
people nearly $40,000,000."
So asWrted Senator Smith, of South
Carolina, in the Senate, today.' He
making a epeesb in the hope of
persuading the Senate to adopt the
resolution directing the - Attorney
(lenerul to ascertain the names of .the
crn.9 who soil the cotton to the
ork'ptX)i,- tttf i operations of
which have recently received much
attention. ' :: - ' :
Mr. Smith said that wherea only
$40,000,000 worth of manufactured
pooda had been exported Jast year
$500,000,000 worth of raw cotton had
been fentiabroad. This year the cot
ton exportation, he .said, would be
about $800,000,000. -
"The Attorney-General is investi
gating thw Bales of epot c.tton. 1
want hira to investigate the sellers
to find out who were engaged in try
to put down the price. I want io in
quire as to the gentleraea who got to
gether and sold the cotton without
having it to sell. His investigation,
so far as it has gone, has depressed
the price to the extent of a cent a
"d. a total coat to the people at
17!-40;000,000. Let bira ?xteud
mnm
Jiry so as to show the real
facts." " : . y-r. -J: .:-
Bpeaking garcastically- &fr. ' Smith
said:' . - ., .
"If the Attorney Attorney General
must conduct an investigation let him
investigate the chief of the" Weather
Hureau for bringing on the recent
lrost, and if that m not conclusive,,!
him go higher and investigate Jeho
vah himself for ruining tbe cotton
crop of the present season."
. fie went ou?
"I believe and the South. llievea
that th li interference at this time is
for the specific purpose of relieving
certain bears on the cotton market."
Further along in his Bpeech he de
clared that the machinations on the
atock exchange were in the interest
of foreign buyers. . .
'The bear weavil is as destructive
arf tbe boll weavil, and I'd like to
have $1,000,000 to drive every one
of tbem out of the country."
Mr. Smith said that on account of
the scarcity of seed it would be iui
powihle to plant more than 65 per
centjf the average cotton crop for
the present year.
The resolution then , was adopted.
I t directs the Attoruey-General to In
quire as to the names of the "party
or purtieH or corporations that sold
the cotton alleged to have been bought
by a pool of purchasers who are now
under investigation by the Depart
ment of Justice;" also as to the prices
"whether or not they owned the cot
ton at the time of the sale thereof,"
and the price of spot cotton in the
South on the date of the contracts.
Senator Clay introduced a bill pro
hibiting the transmission by mail,
telephone or telegraph of all informa
tion concerning future sales of cotton.
Baby Posad Dead In Kd Hdwta Iti
- Oraikra Fithir iiil Mother.
Asheville, April 30. A horrible
ending to a debauch lasting since Sat
urday was. unearthed here today
when a three-montha-old child of Mr.
and Mrs. Waubaugh was found dead
in the bed this morning where it had
been sleeping with" its father and
mother and another chili snmewhat
older. The child's face and neck were
blue and bruised.and the theory of the
police is that the child met death by
being smothered, or crushed. The
Ieople have lived in the house on
Tiernan avenue for some months and
neighbors say that last-night about 10
o'clock, the drunken husband fasten
ed the wife outside. She broke the
door in, and later both took mow
liquorand seemed to get into a drunk
en stupor. The mother claims that
the child slept between herself and
the other child, and that about 4
o'clock :tnia morning she heard it
make an unnatural noise, and strik
ing a match, she found It dying. This
moraiug it dead body was found io
bed by patrolmen called to investi
gate. The coroner was . summoned
but he failed, to find evidence of any
c rime. The husband was', "limber
drunk" when the officers arrived,
while the woman, getting out of the
Btupor, claimed Innocence of crime
and wanted to go back to Newport,
Tenn., which she claimed as home
toddy, but trie Associated Charities to
whom she appealed, refused to give
aid. '. . .- ;'-

WHAT OF COTTON WITHIN THE
NEXT TWELVE MONTHS.
Manufacturers Jteeord. -'.
Unprecedented weather in portions
of some of the cotton growing States,
added to the" failure of a cotton-brokerage
firm in Alabama with wide
connections, affecting principally for
eign interests, has created a situation
compelling everybody concerned
about cotton, from the planting of
the seed to the marketing of the fin
ished product, to give serious thought
to the outcome as to cotton during the
next 12 lnodtbs. -----
At the outset it should s be noted
that, statistically, the southern cot
ton mil)3 are in better position than
the mills of any. section in the world.
They seem to have been.less affected
than any other' group of mills as
far as buying cottonwas involved, by
the deliberate drive led; by' foreign
textile manufacturers against the
price of cotton instituted at the be
ginning of the commercial year, oow
two-thirds past. They were in a po
sition to know that a short crop justi
fied an advance in price, and they
had the gcod sense to act upon uch
knowledge and to buy rcotton when
they could instead of attempting to
bealt doWTT the price artificially. Con
sequently, the Southern cotton i mills
have taken already more cotton than
the mills in the rest of the. country.
This has happened two orjthree times
before, but It is believed never before
so early in the season.- According to
the figures of Colonel Henry G. Hes
ter, secretary of ' the -New Orleans
Cotton Exchange, Southern mills had
taken up to April 22 nearly 15,000
bales of cotton more than the mills in
the rest of the country had taken.
The takings by Southern spinners up
that date' were only 52,059 bales less
than their takings in the same period
last season, wbilef the'l,8P0,4i3 bales
taken by ppinners iu the rest of the
country were 546,995 bales lea? than
their takings in the same period last
season, and the 5,180,143 bales . taken
by foreign spinners, not Including
52,292 bales returned to this country
.vithin the past few weeks, were 2,
144,224 bales less. In the first eight
months of the season foreign spinners
have taken up 3,268,906 bales less
than they took up in the whole of last
season, the s-pinneM in the United
States outside the South 879,587 bales
less, and Southern spinners 744,000
less. About 1,000,000 bales of the
1904 crop are yet to come -upon the
market. The call of the world's
mills during the next 12 months .un
der normal conditions would be for
at least 8,000,000 bales if their spin
dles are to be kept active The world's
requirements are now on a scale that
makes a crop' of 14,000,000 bales in
the South almost a necessity if great
distress is to be aveited in textile
centres, already caught short of sup
plies as a result of the campaign bas
eji upon the fallacy that a smaller
crop could be bought at the same
price as a large crop, if not at a less
price. t
Lt mut be borne in mind that that
side of the cotton market interested
in having cotton rule at the highest
possible priceioeluding the growers
and those closely allied to them, as
well as the bulls in the speculative
class, will make the most of the re
ports of damage to the cotton. These
reports are ' probably exaggerated.
Some days must elapse before the
growers may recover- from the appre
hension, due to the unwonted Weath
er conditions, sufficiently to pass a
fair judgment upon the situation and.
determine to what extent replanting
may be necessary. - A special dispatch
to the Manufacturers' Record from
Alabama, in the' heart of that re
gion, from a gentleman who keeps in
close touch with all phases of farm
ing, expresses the belief that cotton
seed in the ground is not damaged,
but that probably one-quarter of the
acreage where the cotton was up will
have to bs replanted. He adds that
the weather has moderated, and if a
warm rain comes conditions will be
found to be much better than have
been reported, and that the supply of
seed obtainable for replanting is am
ple. Because of the high price of cot
tonseed this year there was fear that
the cold spell had caught the planters
stripped of opportunity to get more
seed, but from- many other quarters,
mcludmg oil mills, coaae3 to the Man
ufacturers' Record the information
that there need be no anxiety'on that
wore, as an ample supply of seed, it
U claimed, will be avalabte.
-That news is intensely gratifying.
Special dispatches from many parts of
the South to the Manufactures' Re
cord, coming from" bankers,' oil mill
people and others in close touch with
the situation, indication, that whib
the weather has. been "very bad, the
damage to cotton above ground in the
sections affected very serious,' the sup
ply of 8eed wlll be sufficient to re
plant at once. ;; Replanting U often
nectary, but In such a condition as
the present the new planting b of vi
tal importance, for any disaster to
that would be , indeed a calamity of
worldwide importance. If theSauth
should only produce a small crop this
year, n would secure a price which
would greatly enrich it, but a short
crop would mean calamity to mills
throughout the-world and to millions
of employes. We believe that the
South, so far as if is concerned, will
rapidly replant; and that, whether it
raises a small crop or a fairly large
one, will secure for it prices that will
yield a big profit. But for tbe good
of the world we hope that the Sauth
will produce : a large crop. , The
world badly needa it; t , e ? .

BIG DAY ON COTTON EXCHANGE
Bait Abcor '200,000 Bale Bat, Kxccpt
Far rrltotaarr Flarry, It Cu Ka
KictaiBct.
New York, April 29. Two hund
red thousand bales of cotton were
swallowed by the bull clique on itbe
New York cotton elchange on this,
the first day of May "notices" with
out so much as a tremor. Fifteen
million dollars, it 19 estimated, went
from tbe bulls' pockets in the course
of the transaction but so easy was the
cotton absored that, after a prelimi
nary flurry, there was no great excite
ment. At the end of the day's oper
ations, the- bull leaders Paten,
Scales, -Hayne and Brown were ap
parently more strongly entrenched
than ever. Transactions were twice
as large as any previous day's busi
ness in the history tf the exchange.
Inasmuch as tbe shorts have until
May 31 to meet their contract?, it had
been predicted by some that today's
transactions would represent . only a
part of tbe cotton to be delivered,
but as the day progressed it was the
opinion in the trade that the bulk of
the staple they must produce was
cornered. Although the "big four"
are know to have cleared a large sum
no authoritative statement of the
amount could be obtained. None of
tbe bull leaders would indicate the
amount of cotton which be had under
contract or which was to beidelivered
on Monday. Their ultimate profits
will depend largely on their success
in disposing of their holdings to spin
ners. Nevertheless, the May situa
tion is regarded as being fairly well
op and it is expected that the bulls
will turn to the July market, in
which they are already heavily long,
with the hope of repeating successful
operations. . r
Covering by scattered short inter
ests today sent up prices sharply,
and the advances for the day in the
general market ranged from 2 to 25
points above yesterday's closing,
while May contracts closed at 14.76
or $1.25 a bale above the close on yes
terday. Jk Rcmarkabio Llat af D Laval Separa-
' In. tbe De Laval advertisements in this
issue will be found a truly remarkable list
of some of the more widely known of the
nearly 1,200,000 ujersof De Laval cream
separators, ajwrtt would probably be dif
ficult to findany other article of ' which a
fist of patrons, could be produced as re
presentative in so many spheres of busi
ness and professional prominence and con
taining the names of so many men well
known to the public at large.
-While many of them are bankers and the
heads cf great railroads and corporations,
merchants, lawyers, editors physicians
and even actors, they are all dairy far
mers as well, and it is pleasing- to those
of us who are dairying for a living to have
the fact thus brought home to us that so
many representative men who don't have
to practice dairying for dollars-and cents
results nevertheless find pleasure and in
many cases their chief relaxation from the
cares pf their various vocations in the
breeding of good cows and the production
of pure dairy foods. ; .
''The De Laval Company. claims, aod not
without justification, that such a list of
users as this is of Important significance
to every prospective buyer of a cream sep
arator because the fact of the use of De
Laval machines by most of these men re
flects a thousand sources of authoritative
information and experience not possessed
Dy the ordinary purchaser, who not infre
quently buys a separator simply because
bis local dealer happens to handle that
particular land or the claims made in
some "ad" or catalogue -may appeal to
him. ... " ... -
. ' They make the point too that while it is
true that many of these men are not de
pendent on profit from their separators
they want the best cream and the best
butter and the most . of it just the same,
as. well as tbe machine which will wear
best "and give the least trouble, and that
they are the kind of men who are able to
ascertain and command the best and be
content with nothing less, in cream sepa
rators as in everything else.
; There are doubtless prominent users of
other makes of separators, but so far as
we know this De Laval list is the most
unique and widely representative that has
ever been published of separators or any
other . implement, and the De Laval Com
pany is certainly to be complimented upon
it. - - .

; In selecting Miss Lucy White
Hayea as the new "Daughter of the
Confederacy" the United Confederate
Veterans have given another mani
festation of the honor and esteem in
which they hold Jefferson Davis, the
President of the Southern Confeder
acy. Miss Hayes is a granddaughter
of Mr. Davis. The sentiment which
intnvired this action of the Con red tit e
veterans is in every way credible to
them. It was a sense of loyalty to a
man who suffered much for the South
and bore his misfortunes wiih a dig
nity and serenity and resignation al
together worthy of him and of the
brave men who fought for the cause
of which he was an intrepid cham
pion. The first-"Daughter of the
Confederacy" wa9 a daughter of Mr.
Davis, a gifted and charming woman,
whose untimtly death was mourned
by the whole South. It is in every
way fitting that the honor should now
be conferred by the eterans upon a
granddaughter of the Confederacy's
only President.
