H'S RESOLUTION ADOPTED. emands That Attorney General In Testigate Sellers of Spot Cot. ton That Does not Exist. Washington, April 29.--"The in vestigation into the sales of cotton -which Attorney General Wickersharn is conducting, has cost the American people nearly $40,000,000." So asserted Senator Smith, of South Carolina, in the senate today. He was making a speech in the hope of persuading the senate to adopt the resolution, directing the Attorney General to ascertain the names of the persons who sold the cotton to the New York pool. Mr. Smith said that, whereas only1 $40,000,000 worth of manufactured goods had been exported last year, $60,000,000 worth of raw cotton had been sent abroad. This year the cot ton exportation, he said, will be about 4800,000,000. "Investigate the Sellers." "The Attorney General is investi gating the sales of spot cotton. I want him to investigate the sellers -to find out who were engaged in .trying to put down the price. I want him to inquire as to the gentlemen who got together and sold the cotton 'without having it to sell. His inves tigation, so far as it has gone, has depressed the price to the extent of a cent a pound, a total cost to the people at large of forty million dol lars. Let 4im extend the inquiry so -as to show the real facts." Speaking sarcastically, Mr. Smith -aid: "If the Attorney General must con duct an investigation, let him inves tigate the chief of the weather bu reau for bringing on the recent frost, and if that is not conclusive, let him go higher and investigate Je hovah himself for ruining the cotton crop of the present season." He went on: "I believe, and the South believes, .that this interference at this time is for the specific purpose of relieving certain sears on the cotton market." The Resolution Adopted. He declared machinations on thv stock exchange were in the interest I of foreign Nbuyers. He said on ac count of the scarcity of seed it would be impossible to plant more than 65 , per cent of the average cotton cro9 for the present year. '.T.he resolution was adopted. It di :~ rects the attorney general to inquire .as to the names of the "party or parties, or corporations, that sold the cotton alleged to have been bought I .Ly a pool of purchasers, who are .now under investigation by the de partment of justice;" "also as to the prices, whether or not they owns 1 the cotton at the time of the sale thereof, and the price of spot cotton in the South on the date of the con traets." TROTECTING CROSSINGS. Duty is on County Officials, Not Rail road Commission-New Act. There is complaint from time t time to the railroad commission re garding the condition of railroad .grade crossings, and it is thoughi to I .be .not unlikely that some of .ie dfrghtfu1 accidents which have oc- J curred at these crossings would have *been avoided had the law been strict ly enforced regarding them. And ~yet the duty of seeing that they are kept in proper and safe condition is on tie Uounty commissioners, aQi-1 thiere is no need to appeal to the rail -, road commission and thereby wasteI1 a-~juable time, I --An act passed by the last legisle-' ture makes the law still stronger and puts it within the power of any road overseer to promptly compel any proper complaint to be promptly re medied. The matter is constantly growing mor e important with the rapid growth of the use of the automobile. 'TLhe new law is uovted in full so as ( sto put travelers of dirt roads in pos-j .session of all the information neces .sary to protect themselves: "It shall be the further duty of .such ocerseer to cause each railroad company to construct and keep in: ~good r.epair the roadbed of all pub .lie reads across the roadbed of said railroad company, and when the tratks of a railroad company now or hereafter crosses a public road, shall cause such railroad company to con struct and maintatin the approaches, -to said grade crossings on a grade -not to exceed 5 per cent., and that the highway shall be on a level grade for not less than 12 feet on either side of the central line of said rail way; and if any railway company, being duly warned by the overseer of the proper district, by leaving a writ ten notice with any station agent of maid railroad company, .shall neglect )r refuse to construct or repair such roadbed to the acceptance of the Dverseer, shall forfeit not exceeding $50 nor less than $30, to be recover ed by an action at the suit of the township or county board of commis sioners before a magistrate of the county, and the money so collected shall be paid to the county treasurer to become a part of the county road fund; and every five days such rail road company, after being duly noti fied, shall neglect or refuse to con struct or repair said road, shall be deemed an additional offense against the provisions of this section." THE BULLS ON TOP. 200,000 Bales of Spot Cotton Bought in Thirty Minutes for $15,000, 000 Friday. New York, April 29.-With a pool of $30,000,000 behind him, Patten, Scales and Brown stood firm today and met the enormous flood of cot ton that was hurled at them with spot cash. Within thirty minutes af ter\the opening of the exchange coh tract deliveries of 200,000 bales had been made. The $15,000,000 that this involved was forthcoming im mediately, most of it from the big bulls to whom the bulk of the cotton was billed. Today's early deliveries smashed the notice day record more than twice over. Heretofore 97,000 bales was the high mark. The situa tion is in the hands of the bull clique. and they can make their victory as onerous to the- bears as they wish. LAW BOARD NAMED. W. D. Melton of Columbia, W. R.
