UM'S PAPERS
MUST BE PRODUCE
REME COURT HANDE
DOWN DECISION.
s In Favor of the Committee-TI
Missing Letters from the File
Must be Produced in the
Supreme Court.
When Senators Hay and Christei
sen and Representative Lyon endeai
ored to get the correspondence of M
J. S. Farnum, beer dispenser, from tb
letter files in the office at C-harlesco
says the State of .the 7th., they wei
denied that right by Mr. Farnum c
his representatives. However, th
members of the legislatcive investig
ting committee had seen there enoug
to stimulate their official curiosity an
they asked the chief justice of the si
preme court to give them the right t
lay hands upon the papers -which the
were so eager to see.
The matter 'has drifted.' along sinc
last August, waiting for the suprerr
court to meet and settle the leg
questions at issue. The court yestei
day handed down its decree that M
Farnum must have the letters here i
court next Monday, December irr
Members of the committee last sun
mer expressed the opinion that tt
letters referred to contained some ii
formation which would be of gre,
importance *co them in their effor1
to get at the bottom of some rumoi
that had been going the rounds. Tt
public will wait with interes-c the di
velopments in the case. Following i
the full text of the order submitte
by the. supreme court yesterday:
"The State, ex rel. J. T. Hay, J. I
Lyon and Niels Christnsen, Jr., pi
titioners-plaintiffs, vs. James S. Fai
num, responden."defendant.
"By an order heretofore made i
his case by the chief justice it wz
referred to Jas. F. Izlar, Esq., as sp
cial master, -to take such testimon
as may be offered by the parties r
spectively in the issues of fact pr<
sented by the pleadings and to r<
port the same to the court-togethe
'with his conclusions, of fact.
'Tihe special master has submitte
the testimony taken abut by agreemei
of counsel omitted to report his cor
clusions of fact. The main issue<
fact is whether the b'ooks, papers, le
ters, vouchers and records remove
from dispensary No. 12 in the cii
of Charleston, and now/in the posset
sion or under the controk of the di
fendant relate to the affairs of th
dispensary or any officer, employe
agent thereof, or exclusively tro tU
.private affairs of the defendant. Asid
from the presumption that such do<
uments kept in the dispensary relate
to its business, there is practically ri
'testimony on the subject. The doc1
ments were not produced before et
master and opinions expressed b
witnesses in giving their testimori
cannot be accepted as determinin
the' character of the papers.

n NUMBER OF BALES GINNED.
.e
Bureau Report Places the Figures at
8,684,842-President E. D.
h Smith Says it is an Outrage.
d Washington, December 8.-A
bulletin issued by the census bu
reau today shows the number of
bales of cotton ginned to December
,e 1 1905, to be 8,684,842, counting
round bales as half bales. A pre
vious repopt showed 7,498,167 bales
ginned to November 14, 1905
n , The amount of cotton ginned, by
i. States and Territories, is as fol
lows:
e Alabama 1,066,728; Arkansas 2
Lt 422,813; Florida 65455; Georgia
s 1,561,061; Indian Territory 246,- <
*S 402; Kentucky 628; Louisiana 362,- i
e 397; Mississippi 840,729; Missouri
30,254; North Carolina 573,598;
Oklahoma 230,648; South Carolina
d 992,708; Tennessee 203,388; Texas e
2,075,003; Virginia 13,030
The above statistics were com- I
piled from telegraphic 'reports 'of
the special agents who canvaswl
the ginneries and it was announced
1 that they are subject to slight cor
y rections until checked against. the I
individual returns of the ginners''f
through the mails. No report was
made for December I, 1904, and,
therefore, a comparison of statistics
d could not be made.
t The statistics of this report in
cldude 239,034 round bales, and 82,
t203 sea island bales. The sea island
Scotton is distributed by states as
y follows:
SFlorida 31,584; Georgia 41,692;
SSouth Carolina 8,927.
>St. George, December 8.-The
e census bureau figures on cotton,
e just seen. This report is given on a
~basis of 478 pounds, instead of 506,
to the bale, as heretofore. If fig
~.. ured on the old basis the crop would
e be 8,204,257, instead of 8,684., 842,
Y as it now reads. This is an outrage.
