bas commenced proceedings to au

He allegea be led the wrung bride
to the altar. I
Hummers says be offered himself
in marriage to Ruth Beknian, and
was accepted. Kuth, the complaint
iwys, had a twin sister, and the two
were identical in apearaiice. Bum
j niers cite an instance when Irene
acconipauied bim to a theatre iu
Buffalo as a joke, be believing she
was Kuth.
Several days after the wedding,
Summers avers, he requested bis
wife to play the piano aud sing for
bim. She played indifferently, be
allege, aud could not sing. This
aroused his suspicion, as be knew
that liuth possessed a clear soprano
voice.
On this statement he seeks to
prove his wife is Irene, and not
Kuth. The defendant deuiee that
any error bas beeu uiaile, and tie
dares she can sing with ability,
The whole case will pivot on this

It took genius to discover that
there ia placer in the eomplei
world for a professional spanker.
The discovery ia recent one, and
the genius who ia profiting by ber
inspiration is Miss Maude Kelly,
an attractive, well educated young
woman living in this city. She
semis out private circulars notify
ing parents that ahe "corrects"
children for a reasonable consider
ation, and ia ready at all hours to
visit home where ber services are
required.
Miss Kelly takes pride in ber
profession, aud talks about it as if
it were the most natural thing in
tbe world. Recently, in an Inter
view, she talked of ber eiperience
and her methods.
"I was formerly a teacher of
gymnastic exercises," she said,
'Cue afternoon I visited a friend
of mine. Seeing she was greatly
wearied, I asked what was tbe mat
ter, aud she told me her son Harry
was iiicorribible. I suggested a
whipping.
" Oh, I couldn't manage it,' she
said.
" 'Ask bis father to do it, then,'
I pursued.
" 'He is away in New York,' she
replied, and will not be back fori
week.'
"Evidently Harry deserved pun
ishmeut, aud the situation denian
tied that it be inflicted at once. I
knew the family very well, and I
offered my services as a friend.
They were accepted. Harry was a
boy of 11, but I took bim into the
nursery and spauked bim very
-nil mill'
"After that Harry's mother came
to ine frequently, and friends of
here got to bear of my kindly of
fices and asked me to act for them.
My income was small, extra money
would be useful, and I decided to
make a business of juvenile correc
tion.
"I never punish boys over 12;
not that I am afraid of them. 1
guess not! I thrashed a brother of
mine when be was 15, but the cir
cumstances are different, Hons
seau's 'Confessions' illustrate the
danger of women chastising boys
who are neither big nor little.
"It is my object to act always
with propriety, aud it is for that
reason that I have adopted an age
limit. There is no barm in a worn-
au taking a child across ber knee.
I am not unduly severe, but I
make my patients smart, even
thrush I whip some of them through
their clothes."
WHISKY EflPTIED IN SEWERS.
Officers Destroy Twenty-five Qal-
lons Under Order of Mayor.
OniiMlHtro Special to Charlotte Chronicle 4nd.
Iu accordance with the orders of
Msyor Murphey 25 gallons of whis
key were emptied into the city
sewers here yesterday afternoon.
It had been advertised for the past
ten days that the whiskey would
be destroyed if some one did not
put in a substantial claim for it.
The whiskey had lieeu seized from
various blind tigers in the city,
and only one man, Dan McNeil, a
negro, put iu bis claim. His claim,
however, was not verified, so his
ownership was forfeited.
"Take all this stutf and empty It
into a city sewer," said the mayor.
I wouldn't sell it to any drug store
or anylKMly else." The procession
then begun. All of the police offi
cers took a jug or two and several
present helped to carry tbe liquid
lonil. The procession marched up
North Klin street and then to the
corner in front of C. M. Vanstory's
residence. Here all the burdens
were put upon tbe ground aud the
large crowd present formed a circle
around the man bole. The grating
was removed and the entire lot,
consisting of about 25 gallons, was

The North Carolina Cotton Grow
era' Association met touight in sec
ond annual convention, 1'reoideut
John 8. Cunningham in tbe chair.
After an address by the president
and secretary, the delegates dm
agreed on the adoption of the treas
urer's report. Unlimited discus
sion and prolonged argument fol
lowed. Meckleuburg and Union
counties led in finaucial showing.
Forty-seven counties were repre
sented aud there was a spleudid
gathering of citizens. Among the
thoughtful offerings at roll call was
an address to farmers by J. A.
Brown of Chadbourn, emphaeiziug
tbe co-operative powers of farmers
and working against the wiles of
those who are neither produceis
nor consumers.
The election of a committee on
government followed a heated, con
troversial argument, individual
speakers being many times on the
floor. A special called meeting
this afternoon lasted two hours.
Informal reports were made by
county delegates. Governor Glenn
addressed the meeting with bis
usual force aud characteristic enthusiasm.
Continued balloting resulted iu
tbe election of the governing com
mittee as follows: Ashley Home,
Clayton; H. C. Dockery, Kocking-
ham; 8. B. Alexander, Charlotte;
A. C Green, Wake; Dr. It. II.
Speight, Kdgecouibe county. It
was voted by the convention to
place all matters of tbe State associ
ation iu tbe bauds of the commit
tee, this applying to officers' sala
ries aud by-laws.
At times the delegates drowned
the speakers' voices with badinage
and counter comment, as the body
proceeded to the election of a pres
ident. Four candidates were named,
all withdrawing in favor of Charles
C Moore of Charlotte, for whom
the secretary cast the unanimous
vote of the convention. 8. B. Alex
ander placed Mr. Moore in nomi
nation, it being secouded by K. L.
Abernethy of Gaston and other
prominent delegates. The new pres
ident was escorted to the chair
amid the applause of the entire as
sembly aud reepouded in a timely
speech, expressing appreciation of
tbe honor and reiterating bis enorts
in Meckleuburg as county presi
dent and landing tbe support of
loyal farmers around hi in. Mr.
Moore was the favorite in the race
from tbe first mention of bis name
for the chief office. A. J. McKiu
non of Kobeson was unanimously
elected vice president, after the
withdrawal of the other nominees.
T. B. Parker was re-elected secre
tary.
At a late hour nominations were
made for delegates to the national
convention. More than four hours
was occupied by tbe delegates and
a spirit of unreal seeuied to possess
them. The convention obtained as
to the dilTcreuce in assessment per
bale, which occasioned motions,
counter motions and amendments.
Extreme enthusiasm marked the
closing minutes of the Relation, re
newed pledges on part of members
from so many counties iu the Stale
being made.
J. r. Allison, Cabarrus; J. A.

measures they have adopted to se
cure fair prices for their crop they
have the co-oiieratioo of the mer
chants, bankers and other progres
sive interests in the South, tor
many years the farmers have sold
their cottn at the price fixed by the
speculative or spinning world, hav
ing no voice in hxing the prices they
were to receive for their product
The general habit was to sell the
bulk of the cotton as soon as it was
ginned at prices often made artiflci-
ciallv low. The result has been that
while the wheat and hogs raised iu
the West and North, and nearly
every other product of the farm, had
gone up in price, cotton felt the up
ward tendency of prices less thau
any other commodity except tobacco,
and the continued low price of the
weed was known to be due to the
manipulations of the tobacco trust
Seeing that tliev were working hard
aud receiving only enough for their
crop to give them board and clothes,
and seeing that the bigger the crop
they raised the poorer they got, the
cotton farmers resolved hi "get to
gether and see if tuev could not bet
ter their condition. They organized
the Southern Cotton Association and
the first thine done was to urge all
farmers to reduce the cotton acreage
25 tier cent., and to raise their sup
plies on the farm. That was sensible
advice. il n arc winking for noth
ing and boarding themselves when
they actually imjwverisb themselves
by their industry and thrift, as cot
ton farmers have been doing. A cot
Urn crop of y,(H),Ui0 bales brought
the farmers as much money as a crop
of 12.000.tKKi Ides, and much more
profit. The first step to self-help was
to decide not to glut the markets
with more cotton than the world
would use at a fair price. There was
nothing wrong or in the nature of a
trust iu thai. When the crop was
made, and it was evident that the
crop was short, the association ad
vised farmers to hold their cotton at
eleven cents. Many took that advice:
many sold at the prevailing low
price, but enough held to force the
price up to eleven cents. Reports
then showed that the crop was cer
tainly short, and the president ad
vised that three million bales beheld
ninety days in the belief that before
that time cotton would go to fifteen
cents. Many did not lake that ad
vice, believing that it was wiser to
take the certain twelve cents than to
hold cotton until near the planting
season for fifteen cents. But, if cot
ton goes to fifteen cents, it would not
mean that spinners must pay liftcen
cents for cotton, but that the average
price paid for this season s crop
would be twelve and a half cents. Is
that loo much if the crop does not
exceed 10,000,(00 bales when you
consider how almost everything else
has gone up in price.'
But the men who have been up lo
their necks in trusts organized to en
rich a few at the exense of the
many, cry out: "The farmers have
organized a gigantic trust and are
resolved w rob every other class for
their eurichment." The men who are
starting that cry are men who have
plucked the farmers because the far
mers had no voice in hxing a price
upon the cotton they had to sell.
Commenting on this talk about "a
farmers trust, the New Orleans
State says:
"Because the cotton producers of
the South have created an organiza
tion the purpose of which is to con
trol marketing of their product and
prevent the price of it being made
the sHirt of speculators, they have
been accused of forming a dangerous
trust and all that sort of thing. But
it transpires that practically the same
action they have adopted to protect
themselves was taken several years
ago by the farmers of Denmark. Mr.
Ilamm, our consul at Hull, r.ngland,
has furnished the State Department
with an interesting account of the
co-operative organization existing
among farmers in Denmark, and his
report calls attention to the fact that
at Esbjerb there has been established
a co-o'rative dairy with a member
ship of 230, milking 1,500 cows.
Nearly all of the milk is made into
butter, the bulk of which is shipped
to the English markets. In addition
to the Ksbjerb organization there is
the Danish butter and egg co-operative
association with a membershit
of 30,000 farmers controlling fifty
laree dairy establishments, the pro
ducts of which are shipped to Ksb
jerb, where the butter is made into
a uniform quality by means of
a blending process and 4,000,000
