He stated that the State Farmers' Union had requested him to issue a proclamation urging the farmers to hold their cotton and to ask the Gov- that he is no farmer and does " notl nrofess to know what the farmers should do under the circumstances. He believes the solution of low-priced cotton is vith the farmers and he urges the farmers to organize and mergers are responsible for the low Inrice of cotton and nronhesies that the mergers will begin pulling down 1 the wases of the mill employes as soon as they get the price of cotton down. He urged the men to secure regis- tration, certificates, stating that the newspapers were attempting to dis- i irautuioc uig pji liuu ui mc wt. i f"' "t - t I istraton certificates to vote in the primaries. He says he will veto any bill of the Legislature making any such requirement, but he expects the Democratic convention next May to adopt a resolution requiring the cer- tificates.

During the fog bway, the ChesapeaKe Line steamer, of Baltimore, corn ing from Norfolk, "ijded with the tug, Easby, sinking tho " and en- j dangering the lives of the lv av who after slinging to the flagstaff, smoke stack and other floating . wreckage, were resced by a crew from Fen wick Island light vessel, which is un dergoing repairs here. All the men were landed on the lightship, where they were given dry j clothing and stimulants, after which they proceeded to the city. The accident occurred shortly after o'clock. The City of Baltimore left Norfolk Saturday night with passen gers and merchandise for this city. After experiencing much difficulty with the heavy fog she reached Laz aretto light and started into the har bor. Captain Mullen, of the tug, had just finished a tow and was taking the asby up the harbor when the City of Baltimore's deep whistle sounded a warning to the smaller craft Turn ing the wheel over to; the deckhand, Captain Mullen went to the pilot house window and tried to locate the direction of the warning whistle. Through the dense fog he could not discern the big steamer until she was ess than the vessel's length from the tug, when through the mist he saw her plowing directly down upon him. The City of Baltimore's bow crashed into the starboard side of the Easby with terrific force. Captain and crew ran for the life boat but the tug sank quickly and carried the little boat al most entirely under the water. In the meantime the crew of the enwick Island lightship heard the cries of the sailors, and lowering a boat rowed through the mist and took Captain Mullen and his crew from their perilous position. ' Captain Edward James, of the City of Baltimore, said: "We struck the tug a glancing blow and I did not know until I arrived at the city that I had sunk it We slow ed down immediately after the accr dent, but did not receive a call for help. Taking it for granted that every thing was all right I proceeded to dock. The impact was so slight that the steamer was . not damaged and the passengers did not know an acci dent had happened." The steamer Virginia, of the Old Bay Line experienced diffiulty with the fogrifts all through her trip from Norfolk Saturday night but made fairly good time until the vessel pok ed her nose into the fog off Fort Telephone and Telegraph ' Companies to be Investigated. Washington, Nov. 13. A thorough investigation of existing telegraph and telephone ratesl believed to be foreshadowed by demands which have been filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission in the form of petitions, directing the attention of the commission "to the apparent purpose of the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., to monopolize al facilities for wire communication.' The movement7 to compel action on the part of the commission is a con certed one. The petitions profess to set forth the desires of individuals in several Western States. While no action has been taken thus far, the commission, it is said fully realizes that it is only a mat ter of a short time before the ques tion of rates vmust be reviewed.When the commission issued its order as suming jurisdiction over companies engaged in interstate business as common carriers of messages by wire it was noted that the order did not undertake to fix or adjust the rates to be exacted. Referring to the rate and certain other sections of the law and -order recited . that the commie sion at that time withheld expression nf it.es vipws "with resDect to the amenability of these carriers." Tn thp netitions it is urged that "auick. reliable and 'economical in 'ter-communication is so essential ta the commercial and social interests of the citizens of the : various State3 that telegraphic service and the charges therefor more vitally con cern the welfare and prosperity of all classes than do the service and rates of the express companies."
