w ^ Failed To Deliver Cottoa.
Suit Begun by Savannah Against Columbia
Factor.
Columbia, December 18.?A petition
in bankruptcy of great interest
to cotton factors and cotton growers,
|fc *nd which throws an increasing side^
licrht on the oractice which has pre
! C7 ?
vailed in this arid other Southern
States for the past several years of
baying cotton off the farms for future
delivery, has been filed against Mr. L.
V. Dibble, a prominent Columbia factor,
on behalf of Savannah factors and
others, for failure to deliver cotton at
j a price agreed upon. Barron, Moore
& Barron represent the petitioners
(and their petition has gone to Charleston
to be filed in the Federal Court
there. This action was taken after a
meeting of the creditors heie. Mr.
Dibble offered to torn over his assets,
bat this cffer appears to haye been
declined.
^ It is understood that the liabilities
are about $75,080 and the assets something
less than $25,(K>0, though the
(exact figures could not be obtained toMr.
Dibble's troubles, it seems, are
due to refusal on the part of many farmers
who had contracted last winter
1 and spring to deliver cotton, to come
L-'4 up with the cotton after they saw the
price had advanced so sharply, conw
tending that they were not legally or
F morally bound by the agreement, in
aamnch as, in their opinion, the transaction
was a gambling one. Mr. Dibble
was therefore unable to deliver to
the firms be contracted with, and they
\ having in turn sold, are now falling
back on him for the difference.
It is said that one man living in the
lower part of the State, who is worth
$50,000, has repudiated contracts he
4 made with half ajjpzen cotton factors.
* Calculating on making a good little
margin, he agreed to deliver cottcn
this fall at prioes ranging between 9
and 12 cents. When the fall came on
and the price went up he reneged.
Mr. Dibble, it is understood, will
turn over his contracts to his creditors,
* and an interesting line of suits is eipecbed
to follow against South Carolina
farmers and small merchants who
' ' *r_ TMUV.1_
agreed do aeuver 10 air. xnuuie.
Mr. Dibble has many friends in Co!

$1,000 A Month On The Farm!
Manning, December 19.?Mr. D. M.
Rogers, a thrifty and successful farmer,
who lives in the lower portion of
this county, near Davis Station, was
in Manning on business the other day,
and while hero he incidentally gave
mi? 0^.1^ pAnrlo^ nnrroQrvnndftnt i
xat) news ttiut vuuubi |
some facts as to liia farm work this ;
year which may proye ^of interest to
others. He planted 160 acres in cotton
and has gathered 163 bales, and on 80
acres in corn he made 3,200 bushels
and 24 tons of fine fodder. In addition
to this, he also made about 25 tons of
hay. Oti one acra of land that had
never been tilled before, which he
cleared up ic the spring, be made 350
bushels of potatoes. He has twentyfive
pork hogs to kill and an eqnal
number of pigs coming on. Mr. Rogers
| figures it out that he has made on his
I farm work this year about $1,000 per
| month. It is needless to say that he
is not thinking of going to Oklahoma.
I Clarendon County looks good to him.

Man Wanted in Connection with the
Seminole Deal to be Apprehended.
Columbia, December 18.?Governor
Ansel has issued a requisition for C. J.
Hebert, who has been located at Chat- ,
tanooga, to require him to come to
this State to answer to the true bill
found against him here last month on
an indictment charging him with conspiracy
in connection witfi the deal
between the Seminole Securities officials
and the officials of the Southern
Life Insurance Company of North
Carolina, whereby it is alleged they
divided up some $93,000 in commissions.
The requisition was issued at the re- i
quest of Solicitor Cobb, who recently i
wrote to Mr. Hebert telling him that
if he did not come here and give bond
he would have him extradited. Mr.
Hebert did net reply and the letter
was not returned.
Indicted along with Mr. Hebert were
B. W. Lacey and C. J. Cooper, of the
insurance company; John Y. Garlington
and Stobo Yonng, of the Seminole
Company, and H. Hall, the actuary
who placed such a high value on the
Southern Life stock. These have all
made satisfactory arrangements with
the solicitor. A $10,000 bond was required
of each. Mr. Hebert is expected
here with his attorneys to giye
bond soon.

$13,000,000 For Agriculture.
Washington, December 19.?The hear- a
ings on the estimates submitted for fl
the agricultural department for the MJ
next fiscal year have been closed by fl
the House committee on agriculture, B
and when Oongress reassembles in B
January the actual work of framing
the agricultuaal appropriation bill will
be begun. It is expected to report
the bill a few days after the holiday f|
recess. It will probably carry approx- Jf
imately ?13,000,000, exclusive of con- B
fcinuine' Dermanent aDDronriations. 6
In the course of the hearings on the
bill, at which Secretary Wilson and j|
his bureau assistants appeared, it was H
brought out that the cotton boll weevil fl
parasites have become very busy and fl
several species of the parasites in some I
sections have destroyed 50 per cent of fl
the weevils. I
The scientists, it was testified, are fl
finding the boll weevil more difficult fl
to control in the Mississippi delta than H
in the uplands, partly because the fl
weevils breed more rapidly and have H
more opportunity for hiding away and fl
hibernating in the delta.
Would Break Eor Up. 1
A woman went into a newspaper : fl
office and wished to advertise for her j V
husband who had disappeared. When fl
told that they charged two dollars an fl
inch she went out, saying it would fi
break her up at that rate as her hus- fl
band was over six feet long. fl

sea as some people say they haye B
