NO NEED OF THIRD PARTY
Bernard Baruch Says He Intends to
Remain a Democrat.
(II j- the Anaoclated Preuht
New York, Nov. 13. There is no
need of a third party, nnd he Intends
to remain a Democrat, Bernard M.
Baruch, former chairman of the War
Industries Board, and personnl friend
of former President Woodrow Wilson,
declared today. He made this state
ment in reply to one by Col. Robert
Hi Montgomery, a Republican, former
general controller of the II. S. Ship

suggested that the manufacturers and
farmers lie brought together with Mr.
Baruch in charge of the organization
of a third party.'
J. L. BUIE ARRESTED
He Pleads Guilty of Second Degree
Murder, Havmfi Killed Manning
Ford.
I.uinberton. Nov. 11. Frank Sum
mers, charged with , the murder of
Manning Ford, entered a plea of
guilty to murder in the second de
gree in Superior Court here today. The
plea was accepted by Ihe state and
Summers was sentenced by Judge W.
M. Bond to 12 ycirs In the state
prison.
Summers went on the stand ana
told his version of the killing, which
he said took place In bis home early
uvt ai4C.6i-J;hrfl'll'.v l- in
this- year. His testimony was that
Ford went to his home about 4:30 In
the morning nnd waked him. He. got
up and made a fire and Ford went In.
While Summers' wife wns preparing
breakfast he anil Ford engaged in
an argument aliout some whisky.
Ford cursed him and attempted to
strike him with a piece of lightwood.
He then struck Ford on the linck of
the head with an axe. He then took
the iiiin he had killed in his arms
and carried him several hundred yards
Into the woods and left the body tin
buried. He did not tell of killing Ford un
til seven months later after his wife
had told officers at August, Ga., of
the killing. He was arrested by the
Georgia officials and confessed to the
killing, agreeing to lead Robeson of
ficers to the plate in the woods when1,
he hud left Ford's remains. After be
ing brought to Robeson he kept bis
word and led the officers to the point
where he had bidden Ford's lsitly.
The hones and clothing of Ford were
found only a few hundred yards from
the house in which he was killed nnd
in which Summers nnd his wife lived
several months after.
Ford bad gotten into some, minor
trouble just previous to the time he
was ktled and his parents thought
he had joined the navy. Nobody had
re-ven suspected Hint he had been
killed until Summers' wife "turned
him up."
Ford was n young man, unmarried.
nnd came from n, highly respected
family. His parents live just across
the, state line in South Carolina. Sum
mers had only lived in this county n
few months1 previous to the time Ford
was killed.

Cotton Market letter.
Nt w York, Nov. 12. During
past we'.-k the cotton market
shown greater actlvHy and strength
than at any time since the big mar
kets of he war period. Under enor
mous buying, the market has advanc
ed, with Kttle, if ahy reaction, well
abeve the twentyisix - cent level.
Heavy dui y realizing stiles, partic
ularly around the twenty-five cent
level, have been readily absorbed in
what has apparent!'-' reached the-
proportion of a trade panic. Ali
southern .markets reflects this condi
tion in an absence of sellers to fill
the demand. The basis has advanced
and cotton is difficult to buy. Sup
plies at many interior points are
reaching the point of dep'etlon, and
the south is now financially and
psychologically in a state to bold the
balance of its crop tor higher prices.
There is practicallv no pressure of
spots or short selling. Under these
conditions, 'with speculation turning
to cotton and the trade in a state of
alarm, the only check to the advance
has 'been from heavy res izing sales
Bulls are confident, and, fortified
with large profits, are prepared to
buy on all breaks. Liverpool has
shown less enthusiasm than other
markets, as English trade has failed
to keep -dace' with ours, but with tin-
market very low on supplies of Amer
ican cotton, and wed beleow an ex
port basis, it is fe t that prices there
would be very sensitive to any further
improvement in the English trade.
Undoubtedly, the situation "in the
near east has been a restraining fac
tor abroad.
Bullish confidence was increased by
the census- ginning figures of 8.139.
839 bales on November 8, which were
small enough to lend to confirm a
growing impression that the crop is
under 10 million bales. The world has
become convinced that supplies are
so small that the market must go to
prices to check consumption. The
boding movement nnd bullish specu
lation will also continue to be big
factors in tbe market's strength.
Above 25 cents, we expect wide,
sharp fluctuations, and severe reac
tionally periods. However, we still
believe the market will ultimately
reach higher, and possible much high
er, :evels.

destruction in the provinces of Anto
fagasta, Atacama and Con.uim.bo. The
movement of the ocean is described
us phenomenal. It gave evidence of a
terrific disturbance in the bed of the
Pacif.c itself. There must have bee'i
such a tearing at the bottom of the
sea that immense quantities of wat( r
en sucked through, causing i
tremendous reeeession of the watt r
along the Chilean coast. ,
Several times the ocean swept out
ward and cume back in the shape of .
a great wave, flooding the seapor's
and in some Instances sweeping awey
tlie water front. The v olent effec s
of the tidal waves were felt from
Antofngasta on the north to Valdlvia
on the south, covering about 16de
grees of lattltude, or more than 1,200
miles.
AH types of craft lying in the var
ious harbors were swept on shore,
wrecked or left higli and dry, and at
scores of small ports wharves ani
quays were destroyed. Chilean naval
