Another Sup^nie Judge Needed
The supreme court of South Carolina
may have an- additional just:oe
when the legislature meets tiext wi.iter.
Before this ean happen, however,
the people must vote for an
amendment to the State constitution
in accordance with the joint resold- I
tion passed at the last session of the I
general assembly proposing to amend I
section 12 of the constitution.
Tlie present membership of the supreme
court in this state is: Chief
justice, Ira B. Jones, Lancaster;
Justices Eugene B. Gary. Columbia;
C. A. Woods, Marion, and D. E. IIydrick,
Spartanburg.
The salary attached to the position
of justice is $3,000 per year.
The argument advanced in favor
of increasing the number of supreme
court justices is to eliminate the matter
of a divided court. When tlie
court stands two and two now, either
the appeal is lost, or the court must
call an en banc session of the circuit
judges.
Sen. Smith on Cotton Bull Victory.
That the cotton hulls have won a
victory over Attorney General Wiekcrsham
and that the latter withdrew
the indictments against them because
lie has seeu the error of his way, is
the opinion of United States Senator
K. 1>. Smith.
lie points out the fact that cotton
has climbed a dollar a bale in spite
of the closing of mills, curtailment
and all other bear influences thus
indicating the adverse influenza ??v
governmental interference with trade.
He predicted that cotton would
continue to rise until the prices in
October would make the present prices
look cheap.

William S. Clark, of Newport,
Tenn., was arrested at Chicago, after
unsuccessfully attempting to deposit
$40,(IH() of alleged frudulent eashiers

National bank, at the bank of the
Illinois Trust and Savings company,
at Chicago. The police say they
found $17,000 of these checks on
i *1 I -
v-iai-K s person when he was searched.
Clark is reported to have made a
confession, in which he is quoted as
saying that he intended drawing interest
on tlie check deposits to open
a line of wheat deals.
Clark was masquerading under the
name of "A. li. Swan."

Darlington Has Mill Fover Too.
The city of Darlington will add
another cotton mill. It is proposed
to begin with $300,000 and in a short
time double the capacity, having a
mill with 40,000 spindles.
Every Town Should Do This.
A syndicate was organized a year
ago at Darlington for the purpose of
guaranteeing to the farmer the best
prices for cotton sold on the local
market. It is a body made up entirely
of the business men of town, and
the funds necessary to carry on their
work are furnished by tlietn. They
engaged a cotton buyer last season,
and instructed him to be on the
ground at all times, and see that every
hale that was brought to market was
taken at the very highest market quotations.
The cotton marketed last
year as a result amounted t-o far
mare than the town had ever received
before.

POSTMASTER-GENERAL F
GREAT GROWT
New York City.?Emphasizing the
basic soundness of the prosperity of
the United States, despite the depression
of stock prices through artificial
courses, the Herald prints interviews
with leading hankers and business
men of the country.
In a special cable from Carlsbad
Jules S. Bache expresses the belief
that the recent market depression
was caused by "disappointed railroad
veterans" as a protest against the
new railroad law. Henry G. Ickelheitner
agrees- with Mr. Bache that
intrinsic values have been enhanced
rather than depressed, and John F.
Carroll joins Mr. Bache looking forward
for results that will benefit the
country.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock sees
in the reduction of the deficit of the
PostofTice Department to the extent of
S 10,000.000, involving an immensely
increased volume of postal business,
an indisputable evidence of the fundamental
strength of the nation's
finances. He also points oi>timistically
to the hopeful outlook and
bountiful crops in the West and
Northwest.
FILL STORAGE HOUSES }
Never Such Quantities Laid by For Fi

Meet Next Winter Promi
New York City.?Butler and eggs
are now stored in the warehouses of
New York and vicinity in greater
quantities than ever before at this
time of year. Last year's figures on
storage and prices made high records
un to that time, hut they are exceeded
by the totals of thenresent month.
Butter is now higher than it has he^n
in July of any other year since the
Civil War times.
The figures were contained in a report
completed from twenty-nine of
the thirty-two food warehouses In the
metropolitan district. This report
shows that 2,234.000 cases, each containing
thirty dozens of eggs, are now
in storage, while a year ago the total
was 1,911,000 cases. Never before
has the total In these warehouses exceeded
2,000,000 cases in July.
Receipts of eggs have not been
gTeatly in excess of those of last year,
so some of the dealers infer that a
speculative movement has something
to do with the conditions. The receipts
for the last two months have
been 2,417,000 eases, while in the
same two months of last year 2,300.
uuu cases were received. Ttie storage
of "eggs began in April.
The best grades of eggs going into
storage are quoted at twenty-three
cents a dozen in car lots. They are
Western eggs, and two years ago similar
grades were sold at eighteen
cents. Fresh Eastern eggs, which
are now quoted at twenty-four to
twenty-seven cents a dozen in the
wholesale markets, were sold for
tWPHtV-fivp rontc n vooi- non
All the egg prices will he increased,
the dealers say, by* the warehouse
expenses, interest charges and profit
when the eggs are taken from the
warehouses for consumption next fall
and winter.
The total amount of butter now In
storage hi the metropolitan district
warehouses is placed at 83,820,000
pounds. A year ago the total was
23,788.000 pounds. The receipts of
butter in the last two tnonthR have
amounted to 670,000 tub3 of sixty
pounds each; last year's total receipts
in the two months was f?20,000 tubs.
The best grades of batter, called
"specials," were quoted at twentynine
and a quarter cents wholesale,
which is two and three-quarter cents
a pound more than a year ago.

'OINTS TO
H OF POSTAL BUSINESS
One of the mostdesperate attempts
on record to inlluence the stock market
was perpetrated by the publication
in a malicious report, from an
apparently authenticated source, that I
Germany had repudiated the Monroe
Doctrine and intended to do as she
pleased in South and Central American
affairs.
Fortunately, the absolute falsity of
tho report was so speedily and so authoritatively
exposed that but little
damage was done, but it is quite possible
that the Federal authorities will
proceed ncainst those responsible for
this last rash and stop-nt-nothing effort
at stork jobbing. with its mischievous
possibility of stirring up enmity
between two friendly nations.

NITH BUTTER AND EGGS
jture Use at This Time of the TearUp?Elg
Charges For Users to
se the Highest of Frices.
Tho phenomenon of increased
quantities of butter and eggs in storage
with higher prices in ;he market
is causing much talk among tho
wholesale dealers on the west side.
The explanation offered by some of
their number is that Western packing
companies made contracts earlier
in the year to take the hatter and
eggs from the farmers at high prices,
and eo they were cnmoelled to maintain
pri hemsclvcs from
losses. receipts of the
product 'ered for immediate
c( 'cs would drop,
and eo ggs and butter
coming has gone into
storage.
