Hand Society, now operating in New IS a? elsewhere, will soon run its course and its leaders will be brought to tie bar of justice," said Terence V. Powderly, formerly Grand Master of ne Jvmgnts of Lajjor and. Commissioner-General of Immigration and now w wmoiuu ui iuiuj jxiauuu in me uureau or immigration.

TTlger ls n0 more danger to the country in Italian immigration than there-arcas in the immigration of certain others races a comparatively Jfew years ago. " These statements were made by Mr. Powderly in a discussion of the -work of . the Division of Information, which was established by Congress tbiib & Yjew to diverting to the agricultural sections of the country, notable ler South, a Tart of the constantly . into the large cities of .the Bast and Middle West. v2SJears ago," continued Mr, powderly, u& ixymber of counties in Penn fsylvama were, terrorized by a pociety :knbwn as the Molly. Maguires. I was " born of Irish parents in the 'region of that State where-theMoiry Maguires were active. The members of this society were a bad lot, but it would be junjut to say that they were typical of the average in the Irish race. lih? Holly Maguire Society was Its native god ft worked for freedom tion. As known in this country it was nothing more or less than an organ ization of marauding cutthroats. It was crushed to earth in Pennsylvania 'jwhen its leaders were hanged. - ."The Black Hand Spctyty will meet the fate that befell the Molly Haguires.1 La'st summer I spent some time in Italy and took occasion to in quire into the origin of the Black Hand. I found that on its native heath the Black Hand was organized for good in fact, for the protection of ;women and young girls. An Italian who wrongs a woman and fails to right the wrong is practically driven from among his fellows. The blaqk.hand of Ostracism is raised against him. The Black Hand in this country, as in the ase of the Molly Maguires, brought into being for noble purposes across ihe ea, was prostituted and converted to ignoble purposes when trans qgMited in: the United States. But it will soon pass into history as did the latfolSy M'aguires. " i If Chief Powderly executes as he has planned Uncle Sam will soon be running the biggest intelligence office on earth. All forms of labor, from household servants to skilled artisans, will be supplied on short notice. Mr. pjwvderly did not say so directly, but he intimated that the Division of "Information will solve the servant girl problem in the United States.

Smith, President of South Carolina 9otton Association Says v There' is vNow Being Waged the Host Interesting Contest in the History of Cotton, Between Farm ers and Speeiilatorsr (Columbia, S. Cv Speeial. Mr. E. D. Smith president of the South Car olina Cotton Association and organ . izero the' geseral association has pe tnimed from a tour of the "West, and tfreral days spent in New Orleans and cotton centres. , "The most interesting contest, in the history of cotton is now on be' tfeen the - f anurs and the New York 'speculaors,, "said h, in answer to s a question as to ,"tue falling oif'-injuw Tvrice oi-tpol "cotton. uZlnPeoi we- manuiaci-urea gooas is now leased on a price of 15 cents or more for "ilfer materia arid the demand for the cloth is unprSeilted. Jhe mills a few weeks ago were ng 14 to 14 1-2 cents without a murmur." he crop is unquestionably short, far E&ovw the needs of -the x trade while the tr2tS conditions of the world are excellent nd the money situation is asy. 'Now what Bas caused the decline! Certainly no lack of demand for cot ton. There is no oversupply in sight. No strikes or other curtailment of spindles. Every mill is running: on full time. There is no financial strin gency or rumor of international com plications. "Therfore the low priees of cotton mans, simply that the speculators en trenched behind a lot of low grade cotton held in their warehouses are putting the future quotations down for purely speculative purposes, Ant it is a cleari-cut light between them and the farmer, merchant and bank er of the South as to who will win. , "If the pepole of the South simply i refuse to sell below. 15 cents the fight is won. If they put their cotton on market at the absurd caprices of the gambler then all the work of the dif ferent organizations goes for nothing. Mr. Smith says with the exception of SoutH Carolina and Georgia and parts . of North Carolina, where the mills are located, not half as much cotton has been sold for future de livery as was sold in the same man ner last year. The South Carolina association has received a report that in York county alone 8,000 bales has been sold for future delivery. "It is the weak cotton that breaks the back of the strong. ' ' Said Mr. Smith. The great bulk of cotton that would be held for the minimum price is forced on the market by conditions brought about by the weak fellows going on the market. I am going to call a meeting of the South Carolina county --presidents in a day or so to see what can be done to put our folding schemes into practice. These holding concerns are ,being demt with success in other parts of the South, and I have" reports' frQ.m;sev eral South Carolina county organiza tions that the money is available. If we can hold this weak cotton off the , market the fight is won, as the strong will stay off itself then. ' ' t: " Charged With Treason.

The story of her finding was brought to this place by a reliable person who had been in that county and is as fellows: - During the pafifeteraldays'' the person residing near this island have, been hearing a p3culiar cry which re sembled that of a panther more than a human, and on Sunday a party started out to investigate.. Armed with guns and axes, the men searched the entire territory, which is about six acres in, size, but nothing was seen of the "thing" which had been mak ing the peculiar noise. About this time some one suggest ed to set up a yell, which suggestion was acted upca; and in a few sec-v onds ft response was heard in the dis tance. The men then divided' them selves so as to form a circle and the spot from, which the noise came was closed in, 'preparing to fire upon t!e object, which all hands though i to be a panther. . The men dashed upon the poor demented creature ly ing prone upon the ground;- with onjv a scanty supply of clothing. An at- ejjapt-twas made to hold a conversa tion with her, but only a few moments sufficied. to impress upon the men that her reason had vanished. The wo man was carried i to the homo of a physician residing at Indiantown, near the woods from whicl she had been rescued where everything is be ing done to restore her mind. Those who have seen her are unable to iden tify who she is. ' The noise which caused the seareh had been heard about ten days'. Some are of the opinion that . the ' woman had been carried to this lonely spot for the purpose of doinsr jiway with her. -It, is reported tnat she appears to be about 18 years old, am! is rath er good looking.
