The factory whioh makes the .machines is unable to make them fast enough to supply the demand. Owing to this fact Mr. W.

Previous appropriations thatliavo been made amounted to 810,000 annual ly, but tho Irtst Logislaturo out this db\yn U> S^OOO. . Even when the larger appropriation was divided botwoon tho companies it didn't do much good, about paying the rent for tho armories.

Duncan, managor of tho State A Ilia n co KxChttnge, has returned from his trip to \\ ashiugton and Now York, says tuo otiito, whore ho has been ou busi* ncss of groat importance to the cotton grow-ers of the State. Col. DutiCan, it will be ronvoinbor, led tho fight made last year in many of tho Southern otatos, particularly in South Carolina, against the flat cotton tio trust, intro ft. wiro tio which, after a big light the importers wero forcod to ac cept. Before the season was out thou sands of bundles of ties wore manufac tured and sold all through tho South many of jho growers boycotting tho Hat ?tie trust, which had had them at its mprcy so long. Col. Duncan has found from ,his visit to Now York that tho farmers will have no moro trouble from tlio tie trust. Several companies have gone to manufacturing the flat ties on a largo scale and they are now dfTorihg td purchases all tho flat ties they can ban dlo at , 15 cents a bundle less than the actual wire used last season could bo bought at. In other words, tho prices have fallen unt;l the flat tires can be bought at 1.5 cents a buudlo less than than the crude wire to be made into tho ties can be bought at. While the fight made against the trust was thought by manv to bo usoless, the abovo state ment of facts scorns to .show that it was exceedingly effeotivei ^o doubt there will bo general rejoicing among the cot ton crowors of South Carolina over the result. Tho petition haB beon filed with the Governor asking for an immediate elec tion to be ordered for the proposed now county of Honea Path.
