/ Columbia Record.
A warrant has been sworn out 1
for tho arrest of .1 E Boyer, a
merchant of Brooklyn, charging 1
him w?lh being responsible for
tho tiro which burned that suburb *
of Columbia last month. It will 1
be remembered that thia lire do? 1
btrojod practically the wholo 1
village and inflicted a heavy Ions
on tins Columbia Mills company
and tho resident owners of that
town.
Since that time uu investigation
was ordered by the comptroller
general as required bv law, and
Mr Henry \V liollowuv, of this
city, was employed to look into
tho matter. Testimony was taken
lrom several witnesses in tho vil.
lege, and after some correspondonee
with Solicitor Timmerman
it was decided to arrest Boy or.
Boyet* was a merchant of that village
and it was in his electric
plant, which he owned, that the
tiro started. It is not known yet
what evidence is against the man,
hut it is evident that tho case is a
conclusive 0110 and that tin; prtliminary
will he one of the mo-t
Kiusational had in this stare in
many years.
The announcement that a warrant
would ho sworn out for Boycr
was made known in Brooklund
today when Deputy Hollo way ?

Decision of Supreme Court May S|
Affect Labor Laws of this
State. p<
w
Docs the decision of the United in
States Supreme court banded T
down yesterday affect the sixty- ut
t-ix liour law in" this State? id
This is what the mill men are Ii
discussing today after hearing of f|
the decision which kn 3eked out a jjj
ten hour law in another State. c?t
The decision is regarded as one of jn
far reaching importance on ac- vj
count of its effect upon legislation u
in the cot.on mill States. There w
was considerable agitation last s,
year for the passage of a ten hour c
law and what i; known as the
Toole bill was defeated by a uar- 0|
row vote. Since it has been tic- j
cidcd that the laws of this kind m
are unconstitutional the question |j
naturally arises whether it will be
necessary to bring another c.isc (jj
from this state to settle the clev- 1 .
o I
cn hour law in force here. The ^
matter is being generally discuss- e
cd and several prominent attorneys
arc interesting themselves in the ,
question. ?
It is also believed that the decision
will have its effect upon the j(1
political campaign next year as iy(
this would have been one of the
principal issues.?Record.

.Unlimited Field for Cotton
Bags
Sacks Made of Colt -1 Dcvignatod
to Replace Knrlap.?Now Market
at Our Door.
Tito Statu, 20lh inst.
Whilo cotloii growers of the
south are looking neros* this continent
ami acrnsa tiro lhicili 1\ r
the development of a new market j
for their groat stap'o, tlu?y are!
probably overlooking the best ami
surest market right atthoir doors.
Tho farmers of the south do not
rualizo the numhur of -a -ks used
by the fact.o ies in tho dtslri aitioii
of fertilizers every winter?between
4,000,000 and y,000,00o
arc employed to hold tho pliesphat-o
bought by South Carolina
farmers alone. Nor do they seem
to understand that the material
f >r these bags might he cotton
but is burlap, imported irom
India. The following letter
wiilton by Mr George A Warner
president of the Ko,ul Digging
and Yuni mill of Charleston,
is decidedly interesting:
"The di (Terence between tho
value of cotton sticks and burlap
sacks for fertilizers is 00 cents
I per ton on penniless and 50 cents
per ton on tne sewed cotbm bags.
We purchased lust year burlaps
amounting to #236,000, and the
duty on same wis #05,000. Now
for your further information 1
will .-!atv that the total imports of
burlap from Calcutta for tlie 12
months of last year from .lan 1st
to Dae 1-t u.s 300,705,500 yardof
? ?;r!i!p and 14,15s.7o0 btirlaj
bags, and from Dundee, Scotland
and other p uts there were 30,00(?,00o
varda, making a total of
300,705,550 yards burlap h! together
imported i'h total revenue
for tho I nitcd Slatca government
on all burlaps and hags
amounts to about #23,000,000
annually. 1 note you say that
you have been talking to tho farm
err on the subject, and 1 am glad
[to nolo that llicv are inclined to
pay the difference in the cost of
the bags. You are mistaken,
however, when you say that ii
will take from one to one and a
half million bales to make the
bags for fertilizers, for by my
calcuhdi >n it would take perhaps
20,000,000 pounds cotton, and of
,r i I ? -" ?
bWUISC) II WUUIll IIH' CUllUIJ
hags for grits, rice, grain, pngar,
salt. cement, etc , it would easily
take 2,000,000 bales of cotton
to manufacture these hairs."
13111 the field is not limited to
the use of fertilizer sacks; it is
urdimit* I in the grocery business,
and here in what the grocers of
Charlo.Uon bavo to say on the
subject:
"Owing lo the scarcity of cooperage,
? number of tho large
manufacturer* have Ik on compelled
lo ship their product in
Imgs instead of barrels. This experience
has taught many that the
bug is hy far tho bettor package,
fi r 1h<< frtllotvirirr rmiann-i'
"First*. Mo freight to pay on
I ho package.
"Second. Tho sack is cheaper.
"Third. Tho suck is of value
when empty.
"Fourth. A sack of 100 lhs.
is easier and cheaper to handle
than a barrel.
"Fifth. The jobber in loading
his delivt ry wagon can put a suck
in his wagon with one man if s'ead
of two.
"Sixth. The jobber's delivery
% ' > - v.
* . * ' :
man en handle tho suck to ad*
vantage when ho reaches the rot
tiler.
"Why cotton sucks should ho
used instead of burlaps is:
"First. Because tho empty
cotton sack is of inoro valuo to
the consumer.
"Second. Because cotton is
raised in the United States, and
burlaps is imported from India.
"We huvo examined carefully
t he cotton seek manufactured t>y
the Koyal Bug and Yarn Manufacturing
company of Charleston,
S. C., and unhesitatingly recommend
this package for grist and
suit, and will give it preference
to tho burlaps or barrels when
m iking our purcliaaos of grist and
salt."

To Cotton Planters:
At uTiiceting of the South Car
olinu branch of the Southern
Wholesalo Grocers' association
held today, tho following resolutions
was passed:
Tho momh'T.s of the association
use f ?r all purposos, when possible
to do so, cotton sacks instead
of other packages.
First, because the empty cotton
sack- is of more vahio to tho
co,. timers than juto sacks
Second, because coton is u product
of tlio southorn States, while
burlap is imported from India.
l ine cotton s icks manufactured
b\ the Rojal Bag and Yarn Manufacturing
company of Charleston,
S. C., have been exa liined by us
very carefully, and this association
recommend* this packago for
grist, salt, rice, etc.
The object of this resolution is
to create a more general demand
