Attempted Robber}'.
Wednesday was day of tremen-
dous excitement in the American
I cotton market, leaving the high-
est values of the season.
Middling is quoted in New York
I at 11.55c, New Orleans at 11.25.
j and 10:15-1(? at Galveston.
VY. H. Tnomas & Co., said in
the Dallas News:
"Liverpool has evidently ar-
rived at the conclusion that there
is no cotton of consequence on
salo in America, especially in the
South. They are confronted with
the conditions nover experienced
since 1900, when middling Air.eri-
can cotton in that market sold at
14.D5 in the middle of September.
Stock of American cotton at Liv-
erpool todav is not much larger
than it was in 4 he year referred
to. Compared with a year ago
Great Britain still lacks 197,000
bales to equal last year's imports
of American. Does it seem
probable that Liverpool will fare
any better this year than three
years ago, especially when the
movement to come forwaid
promises to be no larger than it
was in 1900, and when we know
that American consumption is
about 42,000 larger per month
than at that time, and more so
when we know that stocks at
counted towns and at ports are
109,000 smaller than in 1900?
Without referring to crop -pros-
pects, which are generally admit-
ted to be late and stands poor,
the very facts in the case denote
that stocks at the^end of the sea-
son will bo reduced not only in
America but in Europe as well to
the very lowest amount carried
over at the end of a season since
the American Civil War."
A man evidently bent on rob-
bery entered the home of Todd
Warden Tuesday night about
10:30 o'clock. Mrs. Warden was
at home, alone, and escaped to a
neighbor's house. When the of-
ficers arrived the man had gone
and no clue could bo obtained.
Mrs. Warden had a considerable
amount of money in her purse,
which she took with her when she
left the house.

GREATLY ALARMED
By a Persistent Cough, but Per.
manently Cured by Chamber-
lain's Cough Remedy
Mr. H. P. Burbage, a student
at law, in Greenville, S. C., had
been troubled for four or five
years with a continuous cough
which he says, "greatly alarmed
me, causing me to fear that I was
in the first stage of consumption."
Mr. Burbago, having seen Cham-
berlain's Cough Remedy adver-
tised, concluded to try it. Now
read what he savs of it: "I soon
felt a remarkable change aud af-
ter using two bottles of the twen-
ty-five cent size, was permanently
cured." Sold by City Drug
Store.
In conversation with Democrat
reporter Dr. E. E. King, who has
just returned from tho Southern
Baptist Convention, says:
'•The Convention met in its
58th annuul session in the city of
Suvannah, Ga. This istho oldest
city in tho state, having been
founded by James Oglotbrope in
1733. It is on the bank of the
Savannah river, 1 > miles from the
sea, and tho great ocean steamers
find u safe harbor at its docks. It
ranks in beauty among the pretti-
est cities in the United States. Its
broad streets run at right angels
and are bordered with beautiful
shade trees, aud some of them
have two rows of trees, with a
street car way between and a
drive way on each side. Along
these charming boulevards are
many stately mansions of colonial
styles of architecture. The parks
of the city are many and are set
with handsome monuments of
Savannah's departed heroes.
Among these may be named Na-
thaniel Green, Count Pulaski
and William Jasper, the last two
having fallen gallantly storming
the English fort in Savannah,
Oct. 9, 1779. In this city too,
Westley and Whitfield did some
of their best Christian work. The
First Baptist church with which
the convention met, was organiz-
ed in 1795, and the massive aud
magnificent house of wor-bip was
erected in 1833; and in Savannah
the first Sunday School of the
United States was orgaLized
about 1782.
The convention was organized
by the re-election of ex-Gov. Ea-
gle of Ark,, and electing Hon. F.
W. Stevens of Mo., Judge Geo.
Hillyur of Ga., Dr. Owen of Va.
and Dr. Buckner of Tex., vice
residents, and re-electing Drs.
urrows and Gregoiy secreta-
ries.
Dr. Jordan, the pastor of tho
entertaining church in behalf of
the city and Gov. Terrell in be-
half of the State inadu addresses
of welcome. The> were respond-
ed to by Dr. Hale of Ky. The
reception committee reported
3300 messengers and visitors pres-
ent.
The work of the convention is
missionary and educational and
substantial progress had been
made 011 both these lines of Chris
tian endeavor.
The Foreign Mission Board of
Richmond Va. had collected here
and disbursed on work in China,
Africa, Italy, Japan, Brazil and
Mexico, $218,000,—Tho home
Board of Atlanta Ga.t not includ-
ing tho work done by the state
conventions, had received andex-
pendotl $112,000, and the Sunday
school Board of Nashville, had
used in its work $118,000; and the
Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, the only school under
the control of the convention, had
enrolled 250 young preachers and
a number of ladies among its stu-
dents.
The speaking to those reports
was of a high order, the spirit of
the convention was enthusiastic
and its proceedings were harmo-
nious throughout. It is to meet
next May in Nashville, Tenn."

The committee having under
consideration an appropriation

the extermination of the boll wee-
vil recommended thut the sum of
$500 bo appropriated. This ac-
tion of the committee was based
upon the appeal made before the

sociation, organized ut Dallas
some time since for tho extermi-
nation of the pest. The associa-

ing the appropriation.

raising of funds for the World's
Fair, adopted at the convention
of tho association at Galveston
last year, was re-enacted, with
only the slightest variations,
made to conform to the needs of
the commission, in view of the
limited time remaining in which
to raise the amount required.

Mrs. Allison Yery Sick
For McKinney to Secure a Great
Institution
l OF P. WJD 0. ME
An Interesting Interview With
Mrs. Garnett, Supreme
Representative
Scott Allison and daughter Miss
Lula left last Friday for Nor-
man, O. T., in response to a tele-
gram stating that Mrs. Allison,
who is there visiting her daugh-
ter Mrs. J. A. Jones, was very
sick. Her many friends hero
hope for her oarly recovery.
Infant's Death
The infant of Mr. and Mrs.
Walter McGaror died and was
buried at McLary cemetery.
J. £. Jones,of Copeville, was in
the city on busihees.
Wo publish below an interest-
ing interview with Mrs. M. H.
Garnettt. representative to the
Supremo Lodge, io regard to Mo-
Kinney's efforts to secure the K.
of P. Widows and Orphans
Home.
"We understand that there is a
movement on fo)t by the Knights
of Pythias lodge here to secure
the location of tho K. of P. Wid-
dows and Orphans' Home for Mc-
Kinney when the proper time ar-
rives.
This effo t on the part of the
lodge should have the fullest sup-
port and co operation of every
citizen of our county. McKinney
is aspiring to become an educa-
tional ceuter. Success in secur-
ing this institution would further
this laudable ambition—Aiding
in the advancement of Christian
education by havidg in its limits a
great University, is a work in
which any city may feel the ut-
most pride; fostering an institu-
tion which adds to this Christian
education the care of the help-
less and dependent, which, while
wiping away the orphan's tear—
cares for his mind, soul and body,
in no nobler work could any city
engage.
Tho material benefits to our
town would be those of any other
college—numbers of children sent
hero each year to bo fed, clothed
and educated from the products
furnished by our citizens, to bo
paid for by the order maintaining
the Home—ard moreover, this
would not be a floating, but in a
measure a permanent population,
many children being reared in the
Home, from infancy to maturi-
ty.
Let us be prepared to second
every effort made by tho local
lodge. Other towns are already
sending in bids. At tho recent
session of the Grand Lodge Iv. of
P. in Fort Worth, the body win
notified by telegram that when
the time for loci-ting came, Wea-
therford offers 150 acres of ground
and a handsome sum in cash. Ty-
ler also has au eye on tho plum.
Tho sum which has been accu-
mulating in the treasury of tho
Order nas reached about $30,000.
It is desired to raise $50,000 or
$100,000, as may be determinod
by the Grand|Lodge. With the
enthusiasm which characterized
the last session, this sum will
soon bo reached. Ten thousand
dollars was subscribed at that
meeting iu one hour. This was
precipitated by the gifi of $372
sent by tho Grand Temple of
ltathbonc Sisters to the Grand
Lodge K. of P. for the Home
fund. This Order, oue year ago,
decided to direct its efforts tow-
ard aiding its brothers in their
noble enterprise, and the above
sum, seventy-six dollars of which
was contributed by the Ratnbone
Temple here, was tho result of its
year s work. While it was only
the "widow's mite*' compared to
the whole sum. its presentation
started voluntary contributions
which at the end of an honr
amounted to $10,000, and created
the most enthusiastic meeting
known in the history of the Grand
Lodge. With this enthusiasm,
and tho impetus given the move-
ment for the early completion of
the Home fund by Grand Chan-
cellor Bonner who pushed this
matter beyond all others during
his administration, the necessary
sum will soon materialize.
The K. of P. ranks well up io
numbers among the fraternal or-
ders in Texas, being third in
strength, and the membership is
composed mainly of substantial
business men, many voung and
full of enterprise. They will
soon push to success any measure
they undertake.
Let the K. of P. Lodge her <
the Rathbone Temple and
citisens in general unite in ar.
foit. to secure the Home." ¥* *
