Mr. Eugene M. Deals of New York Advocates Flan to Store Surplus Cotton. Augusta, Ga., Jan. 31.-Mr. Eugene M. Beals of the firm of Beals & Beals, stock of brokers at 35 Nassau street, New York, who is in the city for a few days, has an interesting and seemingly feasible plan for the solution of the present cotton situation by providing means for the holding of .the surplus cotton raised until the market is ready to receive it at good prices. Mr. Beals has laid his plan before several local cottoon men of promi? nence and is endeavoring to interest them in the scheme. Those who have studied the proposed plans for the or? ganization of the National Holding company, declare that it has both good and bad features. They admit that if the factories and cotton merchants of the south generally to enter into the scheme and by experience eridcate the objectionable features, it might prove the solution of the -present troubles. Mr. Beals kindly furrnished The Chronicle with the following brief statement of his scheme, which he terms a "Proposed Plan to Put the Pricce of Cotton to Ten Cents." A National Holding company, to be formed and capitalized at $100,000, 000. This company is to purchase cotton from the planters and factors at 6 centss per pound and in addition give a guarantee to pay 4 cents per pourrd additional when cotton reaches 10 cents per pound, the farmer or fac? tor paying the expenses of holding cotton. The holding company, of course, agrees to hold the cotton in? definitely, or until suph time as the cash market value is .10 cents. The owner is to agree not to sell or allow it to be sold until the price reaches 10 cents. The company is to be aliiowed to borrow money on all the cotton thus purchased. The owner takes stock in the company for the money guaran? teed over that advanced1 when the cotton is placed with the company. The scheme is to form the local fac? tors in each centre into a syndicate to purchase and collect cotton from the planters and turn it over to the holding company. In this -way the cotton that is necessary to hold any season to keep up the price can !>e taken off the market. It is estimated that the amount of cotton necessary this year, for instance, to be with? drawn from the market to advance the price to ten cents, is 2,000.000 bales. Mr. Beals is confident that the scheme would work if generally adopt? ed by the factors and cotton men. Warehouse would have to be con? structed in which to store cotton and hold it indefinitely when necesssary. The cotton once in these warehouses would be held until cotton reached ten cents, and the world of consumers would be put on notice. The cotton cannot be sold until the ten cent stock is reached. Local cotton men seen yesterday declined to discuss the proposed scheme for publicatiton. It has been suggested that Mr. Beals visit New Orleans and lay his scheme before the executive officers of the Cotton Grow? ers' assocciation.

Judge Gary Rules That Short Form Arrest Warrants Are Not Binding. Circuit Judge Ernest Gary, who is presiding- over the court of general sessions here, has just rendered a de? cision affecting the validity of certain arrest warrants, which must be of far reaching effect and wide interest. Judge Gary says that the short form of warrant omitting the name of the state and not addressed to some par? ticular constable or officer, is null and void, in fact, not any warrant at ail oven though the name of the state might appear on the upper part of the page in connection with the affidavit upon which the warrant has been issued. Judge Gary has also decided that the endorsement on the back of the paper appointing a special officer to execute the warrant, cannot be considered a part of the warrant itself and is there? fore not sufficient to remove the sec? ond objection-failure to designate a particular officer to perform the ser? vice. The short form of warrant, which the judge condemns, has been extend sively used in almost every part of the state for a number of years, and has probably been adopted by almost every magistrate in Greenville. Under Judge Gary's decision it is a very dan? gerous thing for a constable to at? tempt to arrest a man with such a de? fective warrant, for the prisoner would have every right to resist, and there would be no redress for the officer. The question was raised a day or two ago by Mauldin & Townes in defense of E. P. Pepper, charged with resist? ing the officer who attempted to take him. The short form of warrant had been used, and the attorneys argued that since there was no legal warrant, the officer was acting without author? ity and Pepper had a right to resist. Judge Gary, after examining the war? rant, sustained this view and directed the jury to find a verdict for the de? fendant.-Greenvile News. ; SLEIGH RIDERS KILLED. 3L Shocking Accident at Railroad Crossing, in New York.
