COTTON MEN FACE PROBLEM. New Bill of Lading Restrictions ] I nconvenient. New Orleans, August 31.?With the close of the season to-night ] Southern cotton men are standing 1 face to face with what may prove a ^ serious problem if they are forced to ' move the coming crop under condi- ! ^ tions which are radically different ( from those which have prevailed in i the past. 1 \ This siuation was brought about by ] the action of the British bankers in 1 declaring that in the future American 1 banks will have to guarantee cotton 1 bills of lading before they will be 1 honored across the water. This be- < ing impossible, a conference of Amer- ' } lean and British bankers has been owaicnoH tnr pnrlv next week in Lon ai 4V* VV*. .v- ? - don and the outcome of this confer- i ' erce is now of paramount interest in Southern cotton circles, sur- i passing even the season-end statis- i tics. Have Some Hope. ; The hopes of the Southern cotton : men rest largely on the recent action 1 taken by the Southeastern Freight i association and the Southwestern i Tariff committee, representing rail- i ^ roads covering the entire cotton belt. These roads have agreed upon a bill 1" J.'nir nlon ivhifh thp l VI lauiilg tCi uuvcut |/1UU 1< U*VM v^v cotton men believe should satisfy the British bankers. i According to this plan, only an 1 original bill of lading is to be signed. As many duplicates as necessary may be made, but all these will be stamped "copy, not negotiable." i V The original bill is to be stamped by the railroad at the time it is at- ; tached to the certificate bearing the > agent's signature. The stamping is ; to be done in such a manner that one : part of the impression is shown on i the original bill and the remaining j: part on the certificate. ^ Additional Safeguard. As an additional safeguard thei marks or labels and sign? of identi-1 fication on the cotton bales must be |, ? written in ink. The bills of lading must be issued in connective num- , bers and the certificates also must he numbered consecutively, so that * - in all cases the numbers will correspond. Through bills of lading on export shipments will be issued only from . concentrating points. No local agent ( is allowed to issue a through bill of j . lading. The cotton must go to con- j j centrating point according to the rail- ( road officials" in order that the rail- s road can certify in the instrument furnished the seller of the cotton that the hales are in the railroad's possession. Being in the warehouses of the railroads the cotton can constructively, be termed in the possession of the railroad and certification may be made by the agent, his chief clerk or the person duly authorized ^ to sign through bills of lading. We do not want the earth. A small part of it will satisfy us. Try us for / / a "square deal." C. H. MILHOUS, Manager Denmark Realty Co. j Killing in Georgia. Cartersville., Ga., September 1.? Afted waylaying and killing a man ( ^ named Phillips at Beasley's Gap, near s i this city, and wounding five of his 1 pursuers, William Fowler, an aged 5 white man of this county, escaped to 1 the hills and is now at liberty heavily ( armed. Fowler is being pursued by a 1 sheriff's posse and threats of a 1 lynching are being made if the man . should be captured. ' Fowler is said to have made the t charge that Phillips was wanted in 1 / Texas on a murder charge for which ] Phillips gave the old man a whipping. 1 Yesterday Fowler waylaid Phillips ; near the latter's home and shot him 1 dead, literally blowing his head from [ %.

It is hard to conceive of a punish ment adequate for such an offense a; that of selling cocaine to young boys The discovery yesterday of two young sters in Westmount who peddled it ir small quantities to the unfortunau hildren who have been taught to us< it. in order that some conscienceless 3ealer in drugs may make his 50* per cent, out of the stuff for whicl they crave, has called public atten Lion to the existence of this particu lar development of a common vice but it adds nothing to the knowledg< already in the possession of the po lice. Few people realize the extent t< which the use of such drugs as mor phine and cocaine has developed ii Montreal in the last dozen years, an< fewer still appreciate how largely i is being spread through boys of fron 12 to IS learning from companion the habit of "snuffing cocaine." Theri years ago the police broke up a sys tern of dispensing the drugto seasoned users in the public schools through it sale in little shops, such as spring u] around every school house, but the; failed to cut to the roots of th< traffic which is the only way whicl can be expected to effectually repres it?the sending to the penitentiary o any druggist directly or indirectl; connected with the illicit sale of thi most dangerous and insidious o poisons. Since that time there hav' been sporadic exposures of the traffic and an increasing number of heart breaking discoveries in homes in al sections of the city that some boy in whom had been centred the hope and plans of the family, was a con firmed cocaine-user and fast on hi way to that moral, intellectual an< physicial degeneracy which is th< final result of the habit. Teaching the cocaine habit to ; boy is. in many cases, worse thai murdering him. Unless somethin; or someone checks him in the earl; stages of its use. it means the kill ing of first his morals, then his mini and then his body; it means that h< becomes a source of infection to hi companions and that the "market,' by which the purveyor of the druj makes his profits, is likely to aeveio] in many directions where he himsel would not dare to venture. An; druggist who hands a box of eoeain< without a word to two 15-year-oh boys who ask for it is morally guilt; uf whatever consequences follow th< sale. If our criminal code does no impose a penalty equal to the meas lire of such offending, there is noth Ing more urgently required at th< 5rst possible opportunity than ai intendment which will cover this par ticular crime. In the meantime, thi best that can be done will be to ex pose the offenders as far and as wide ly as possible and to impose such poo penalties as are at the disposal of tin courts.?Montreal Star. JUDGE ATTACKED BY STRIKERS Forced to Barricade Himself in Door way for Protection. New York, September 1.?In peri if his life as rioters fought near th< ;ugar trusts' Williamsburg plant vhere there had been a strike foi several weeks. Magistrate Higginbo ham, was yesterday forced to barri ?ade himself in a doorway to whicl le fled. The magistrate had imposec teavy sentences on strikers. Two men were shot in yesterday's lattle, which occurred a block fron he refinery. Mr. Higginbotham was lassing on his way to court wher le saw a group of men quarreling -le started toward them but a dozer Dullets flew over his head. The fightng grew fiercer. The crowd advanced >n the magistrate, who took refuge n the nearest doorway. When the jattle was over he emerged and pickJd up one of the wounded?John 3rannigan, whom he carried to the inKnitfll. The other man shot was Fames Gordan. Neither was woundid seriously. Beware the Dog! A family moved from the city to i suburban locality and were told hat they should get a watchdog to ;uard the premises at night. So hey bought the largest dog that was or sale in the kennels of a neighborng dog fancier, who was a German. Jhortly afterward the house was enered by burglars, who made a good laul, while the big dog slept. The tian went to the dog fancier and told tim about it.

RECLAIMING SWAMP LANDS. l Vast Opportunities for Profit in the South. The Washington Post, referring to 5 the trend of immigration to the South, says: "If the swamp lands of the South 1 were drained, millions of Xorthern ers would rush there to possess them. ? Is the Washington Post keeping 6 track of tlie wonaeriui worn now uu* tier way in the reclamation of the 1 swamp, or overflowed lands of the ~ South? asked the Manufacturers' " Record. Does it know that the larg est contract ever made in this country e for the reclamation of such lands has " been given by the State of Florida to one of the strongest contracting coni3 panics in the country for the recla-j " mation of the Everglade region, or 1 with a view to redeeming rrom waste * for cultivation 6,000,000 acres, near* ly equal to the land area of Mary-1 1 land? Does the Post know that many s large contractors from the West, as e well as local contractors, are carrying " out vast undertakings for reclamation * work in Louisiana, which, in the ags gregate amount of work under way, P is leading the country, next to the " great undertaking in Florida, and e that in Arkansas, in Mississippi, in 1 Texas and in North Carolina great res clamation enterprises are being f pushed? " The fact is, one of the most re5 markable features of Southern maf terial development during the last e decade is the work now under way in ' the reclamation of wet lands. These " lands, as already demonstrated by the * splendid work done in Louisiana, are * among the richest in the world. A 3 report of an agricultural chemist in " Ohio shows that in some of the wet 3 lands in Louisiana now being re^ claimed there is enough nitrogen in e the first eight inches of soil to produce a thousand corn crops of fifty a bushels per acre. In other words the 1 i nitrogen in the soil is equal to the = exhaustion produced by the growing crops for a thousand years. ? Marvelously rich as are these lands, ^ it should be remembered that the 50, e 000,000 acres or more of reclaimable s wet land in different parts of the South are as yet a practically unutilized asset, worth billions of dolP lars to this section and to the coun1 try. Their development is already beginning to create a desire of Xorthe ern and Western people to possess * them. The movement, although in y its infancy, te commanding wide at9 tention. The Washington Post is 1 correct in its statement that the " drainage of these lands will ultimate" ly bring millions of Northerners to B this section, but these Northerners 1 and Westerners need not wait for the " drainage of all the fifty million acres 5 available. If they want to share in ' the profit to be made, they must " share in the development necessary. r Far-seeing men, like the pioneers who B got rich by the opening up of Ohio and Indiana and Illinois and Michigan, have in the South an opportu* nity such as the West never possessed. The Southern man, too, may well be" gin to recognize the possibilities in his own country; not only possibilities in the things which are all 1 around him in soil and minerals and i liniUtMtS, UUl 111 lilt: u11iii.a4.1uu mcac , wet lands. While welcoming others r to this work, it should not be left wholly to the people of the North - and West, who will get rich thereby. 1 Thousands of Southern men should 1 share in the vast increment which is to come from the development of s these lands. It is safe to say that i the fifty millions acres of such lands, > not worth to-day on an average of i $10 an acre, or less, say, than $500,. 000,000, will when reclaimed bo eaiii ly worth $5,000,000,000. Who will make the profit between $500,000,l 000 and $5,000,000,000? The prize > is an alluring one. The Denmark Realty Company is delivering the goods.

That means that the 1 State treasury will receive from this source $169,598, which an Atlanta 1 newspaper considers a most re > munerative source 01 revenue. Last i year Georgia had 225,000 sheep of shearing age. What is the relation between so few sheep, comparative ly, in a State where so many sheep could be raised worth $5 or $6 ' apiece at the minimum and so many dogs producing only $1 each, even granting that the taxed dogs are all the dogs loose in the State? And what of other Southern States in this connection, with good markets wanting??Manufacturers' Record. A Man of Iron Nerve.

Lavelle, recto of St. Patrick's cathedral: "A farmer had come to New Yor from the country to have a look at it sights. One night he got home ver late and a burglar stopped him i Central park and put a pistol to hi head, saying at the same time: "Give me your money or I'll bio1 your brains out."
