'FIGHT AGAINST WHISKEY. * District of Columbiar-Decision s to Freight Rates Favor New Eugland Mills. By-dames S. McCarthy. ashington, D. C., May 20.-When convenes in December an o~ik effort will .be made by temper allte' people inl every section of th* $untry to drive whiskey from the I.taI 'city. Such an effort was de during the last congress, but the 'whiskey and beer interests filled Ihe city of Washington with lob. i*sts who threatened to defeat the publican party in several closely c;ntested States if tje leaders ed iUt party in Congress did not kil the proposed legislation. The threatE of the whiskey lobbyists frightenei the RepubIbican leaders into defeat ing the bill, but such a storm of pro test was raised throughout the coun. try that those interested in this greal temperance movement are confideni that the next congress will pass a bill prohibiting the sale of liquor ir any form in the Dist.rict of Colum bia. The temperance people are ful. ly aroused to the situation and al ready and Members of Congress arc receiving letters by the score urging them to vpte to drive John Barley corn from' the seat of the Nationa GOVA-nmtient In an opinion by Commissione: Lane, of the interstater commereA commission, handed down on May 11 t was held that the cotton mills o ewi England are entitled to advan ages in freiight rates over the cot. on mills of the so"nn because o heir close proximity to New Yorl ?1 nd other Atlantic .ports. The ef leet of this opinion will work grea injury to the cotton mills of th south, and the great export trade il cotton piece goods between southerr mills and oriental countries will b badly crippled. The railroads o the south prior to the enactment o the Hephurn railroad rate regulatioi law had been in the habit of inakini frei:ht rates on. cotton piece good from southern points to New Yorl as low and lower than rates on th ,ane elass of roods fron New Eng land to New York and to this fNe was due the g'reat pro'perity of tlh south in tihe cotton mlilling industry In view of the opinlionl of the comu mission referred to it is well to cal %Jteijtion to a speech of Commiss.ion crPlminty. wh)o lils from Vermo n delivered at Boston prior to the en antmei if tlie fepbtirn rail ron rate law, in A-hich lie staled in th event he inlterstate coinerce coin imission siould be :iven power t make rates New England maniimfa finrers s1ould iar.e the 1dvaitalge Ov er 'telir m' setions of tle colnty , Vs peeially river the cottoil mills of t11 soith, and tle opinion of the cominis sioin would seem to indjeat.e that i the future the south may expect t he p)laced at a disadvantage in th ruiiiilngs of that lbody.

Columbia, May 17.-The flight which is now being waged over the conduct of the New York Cotton Ex change is interesting all those in this section who are concerned as to cot ton prices and conditions. Additional at interest is given the matter when it th is known that one of 'the attorneys representing the Southern Cotton As sociation in its fight is Hon. John L. MeLaurin, formerly Senator from ar South Carolina. Mr. McLaurin, who It' is a large cotton planter and inter- an ested also in cotton mill enterprises, scl is t4horoughly posted on cotton con ditions and has recently spent a good deal of time in New York watching Ithe Cotton Exchange situation. A few days ago Presiden-t Harvie Jordan wrote him tire following letter: May 15, 1907. I-Ion. John L. McLaurin, New York.--Dear Senator: I have just reached New York today and leave JN for Europe tomorrow. I am very much gratified to know that in ac cordance With any earlier request you Ihave already consented to ,become actively engaged in behalf of the Southern Cotton Association in the JA fight against the New York Cotton Exchange. You are a Southerner and sufficiently acquainted with the cot ton interests of the south to know Ca bhat the policy of the New York Cot ton Exchange has not only been a depressing factor upon the price of spot cotton, but has caused direct loss to hundreds of legitimate cotton buyers, who during the past winter have undertaken to liedg,e their con tr.iets througi that Exchange. These fhels are notorious. T feel that you will exert every effort inl your powV er to se'ure the issiance of a legiti mate contract byA the New York Cot ton Exehiange which Nill protect all parties who wislh to buy or sell cot Lon through the Exchanges.
