, of Georgia, with headquarters at Sa

To Holders of Spot Cotton
to Hold on to it Instead
of Placing it on the
Market.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb.^24.—Harvie Jor
dan, president of the Southern Cotton
Association, gave out the following
statement: #
“About the middle pf last Novem
ber the Southern Cotton Association
advised all spot holders to demand 16
cents per pound, basis middling, for
the balance Of the unsold portion of
the present crop, and pledges were
asked for ninety days. The mammoth
cotton convention held at New Or
leans, La., January 11 to 13, 1906,
passed a resolution unanimously in
dorsing the holding movement for 16
cents and advocated the continued
holding of the unsold portion of the
crop for that price independent of the
ninety-day pledging. The executive
committee of th£ association subse
quently* indorsed the action of the
convention, and all spot holders were
earnestly asked to stand firm until a
maximum price of 16 cents was of
fered. Remember, one year ago cot
ton sold at 7 xents per pound in Feb
ruary and advanced to over 10 cents
early in July In the face of a 14,000,-'
000-bale crop. This year the crop Is
3,600,000 bales lesB. Consumption is.
far greater this year than last, and the
prices of gjl lines of cotton goods ab
normally high. If the small balance of
the cotton now held is sold for 16
cents, the whole crop will not average
over 11% cents per pound. Receipts
will soon drop off heavily and a
stronger market will be had. ,
“Do not rush your cotton on the
market, but hold it and win out in the
great struggle that is on between the
spot holders on the one side and
speculators, spinners and buyers on
the other. HARVIE JORDAN,
“President fl. C. A.”

Millionaire’s Automobile > Ran Down a
Small Boy—Vanderbilt and His
Chauffeur Under Arrest.
FLORENCE, Italy, Feb. 24.—W. K. Vanderbilt is detained by the
authorities at Pont Edera, on the road to Pisa, having had an automobile
accident on the streets by which a boy was injured. The boy was nflt
seriously hurt. '
Vandefbilt and His Chauffeur Attacked.
FLORENCE, Italy, Feb. 24.—The Vanderbilt incident involved the
detention' of Mr. and Mrs. Vanderbilt and their chauffeur, nnd appears
more serious than at first reported. Both men were mobbed and were,
escorted to the police station. Mrs. Vanderbilt was taken to a hotel.
The automobile was going at an excessive speed, and, turning a
sharp corner, ran down a 6-year-old boy, who was injured about the
head, but not seriously.
The automobile stopped and was soon surrounded by an angry crowd
that threatened the occupants. A report that the child was dead in
creased the excitement and the mob attacked the chauffeurs Matters
were reaching a critical stage when Vanderbilt drew a revolver, but he
was disarmed before he could use it. Gendarmes came up to protect the
auto party. Summary vengeance was threatened. Eventually the two
men were taken to the station and violence was averted. The conclusion
of the affair has not yet been reached.

I
Washington, Feb. 23. — The Secre
tary of State has received a telegram
from Mr. Rockhlll, Minister to China,
stating that he and his colleagues see
no cause for undue apprehension con
cerning the situation in China, though
they consider caution and watchful
ness always necessary. Missionary
troubles -are not more frequent than
usual, it is said, and are due, as was
the Shanghai riot, to local causes.
Mr. Rockhlll says the Chinese gov
ernment appreciates the importance of
preventing hostility towards foreign
ers; that it has recently been .cau
tioned by Japan in this respect^and
has declared Its determination to en
sure their safety under all circum
stances!
The dispatch adds that while the
boycott may continue, with local fric
tion, nothing more serious is antici
pated by those on fhe ground. A pro
nounced general feeling of determina
tion is noted on the part of the Chi

ARTHUR HALL’S BODY
FOUND IN POND.
The Drowning Now Betieved to Have
Been Accidental.
A dispatch published in yesterday’s
Herald told of the. mysterious dibap-
pearance of Mr. Arthur Hall, a brother
ofMr. Harry N. Hall, of this city, at
Milledgevllle. The first report stated
that thd missing .man’s hat was found
in a pond near the sanitarium at whleh
ho was staying, and tbat an over
turned boat also Indicated that he
might have been drowned, but that a
thorough search of the pond had failed
to reveal the body. It now appears,
however, that Arthur Hall was
drowned, as explained in the follow
ing dispatch to the Atlanta Constitu
tion:
Milledgevllle, Ga., Feb. 23. — The
body of Arthur B. Hall was found this
morning in the pond where It was
thought last night It.could not possibly
be on account of the thorough search
that had been made for It.
pr. Allen offered a reward of $26
to anyone who recovered the body
from the pond. This morning one of
the searchers hung some object with
his hooks. It was so heavy that the
party with him said: "That is only a
log; -I hung it several tlutes;’’ but as
it yielded a little they worked cau-
tionsly and brought up the body.
The cfothes were torn in many
places, showing that the hooks had
caught them, but the garments gave
.way before the body yielded to the
pull. A dynamite cartridge had been
exploded within six feet of where the
body lay.
It is now thought that the drowning
was accidental and that the deceased
fell overboard while poling himself
around the pond, turning the boat over*
when he fell out. .His brothers'stated
he had never learned to swim. The
body was taken to his old home at Car-
tersville, Ga., for burial.

tencing Bradford, Judge Broyles said
hCjWas only sorry he could not send

iradford begged to be allowed to pay
a: fine. But the recorder was obdurate,
“Jjo, sir! You are going to the chain-
gang to be puniBhed.”
The evidence submitted was to the
effect that Bradford’s wife waB ill in
bed, but that did not prevent her hus
band from mistreating her. Neighbors

New York, Feb. , 24.—A Herald <116j

Which are to be Made by
Centra] Road in Its Ter
minal Facilities—Are to
Spend $50,000.
Arrangements are now well under
way for beginning work on the exten
sive improvements which the Central
of Georgia railway will make in Its
-terminal facilities at this point Dur
ing the test few days Mr. H. F. Shaf-
roth, of the engineering department
of the road, has been In the olty laying
out the sites of the proposed Improve
ments. ^e has been assisted j>y Di
vision Superintendent H. D. Pollard.
These improvements will greatly en
large and improve the facilities of the
Central at this point. The tracks, as
previously stated In The Herald, will
be extended northward a considerable
distance, and there will be a general
rearrangement of the prosept tracks.
A large coal'chute will be erected,
and will supply all locomotives on this
end of the system. There Will also
.be constructed a tuin-tablo of large
dimensions. It will be utilized- for
turning locomotives, thus obviating
the necessity for the maintenance of a
Y.” Still another improvement will
be the erection and equipment of an
auxiliary shop, in wbich a (pent deal
of repair work now sent to Macon will
be done.
These Improvements will cost some
thing In the neighborhood of : $60,906.
They have been rendered necessary by
the large Increase in the business of
the Central road, an lncrcrffee whloh
has been steadily and rapidly coming
about for the last few years.
The officials of tbs Central road
have conferred with the Albany Busi
ness League In preparing for. this
work, and as the result of the League's
representations in the matter, local
contractors are to .be given much of
the work- for which appropriation, has
been made.
White, addressing Cornell University
students yeBterday on high crime In
the United States, said that the num
ber of homicides punished by lyncbtng
exceedB those punished by law.
“Of each forty-five homlcldeB In the
United States, only one Is legally pun
ished, and It Is not remarkable that
the people look elsewhere for a solu
tion of the question. Nothing Is more
sentimental or ridiculous than the
'goody-goody' talk about lynohlng. I
have no sympathy for the. criminal.
My sympathy Is for the murdered,
their families and children.”
B. M. WILSON'S MODEL
' DIVERSIFICATION FARM.
Representative of the Government De
partment of Agriculture Here to Di
rect Operations.
It. may not be generally known, but
it Is nevertheless a fact, that the farm
of Mr. B. 3^. Wilson, a mile west of
the city limits of Albany, has been
designated by the United States gov
ernment as a model diversification
farm. These model diversification
farms are operated under the direction
of the Department of Agriculture for
the benefit and information of the
farmers, and a complete record Ib made
of the planting and cultivation of the
different crops experimented with.
Mr. Wilson recently brought hlB
splendid herd of Jersey cattle and
other fine stock from Dawson and has
established the Fernland Dairy Farm
here..
Besides the experiments made with
the dairy business, various crops will
be planted- on the farm under the di
rection of .experts from the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The seeds will
be furnishedfby the government and
the planting and cultivation directed
by the government exports. 1
Mr. H. Benton, frofa the Depart
ment of Agriculture at Washington,
is now here to see to planting opera
tions for Jhis spring on Fejjpland
Farm.
Mr. Wilson has already spent thous
ands pf dollars on his farm, and It
was demonstrated at the last State
Fair that lie had the finest herd of
Jerseys in the state. He takes great
pride In his farm, and the govern
ment has made no mistake in select
ing his farm for a model diversifica
tion jarm, for he will spare neither
labor nor expense In making-it a mod
el in fact as well as In name. He Is
now having an artesian well bored,
and Mr. Jarrard, the contractor, haa
already carried It to a depth of more
than five hundred feet.
