No immediate action is to, ho taken bp tho State AS a result of Judge Pritchard 's order at Asheville grantHig the motion oi counsel for the commission to stay the order appointing receivers on con dition tho commission give bond equal to the amount of claims involved, About $250,000. Attorney General Lyon sent letters to the members of the commission and attorneys asso ciated with him asking for a con ference to be held here on the 6th to decide on the State's course in view Of Judge Pritchard 'a latest* order. ?What that oonferenCo will do is not intimated, though before , the order was made tho.State's attorneys plain ly said that an extra session of tho Legislature would be probable it Judge Pritchard required too large a bond. And tho bond he did require Attorney General Lyon doe? not hesi tate to characterize as outrageous and indicative of the sort of justice to be expected from Judge Pritchard, who allowed the other side some time ?go to tie up tho entire fund with a bond of only $10,000. .Governor Ansel gently hut (irmly maintained bis usutu' attitude of silence. Asked ?whether he would object to going as "far as to say that au extra session is possible, he replied-. "My an**"1* to aU questions is that 1 shall have .... .absolutely nothing to say, one way or the other touching any phase or the situation." It has been intimat ed from time to time that Governor Ansel has been usurping the prero gatives of the attorneys in- the ease, ?Kit at present ho scorns to be follow their lcad ??tirelv- 110 lias " ?tudying the case constantly as an at torney as well as from his viewpoint, as Governor, but he seems content to -"f&low the advice of the Attorne\ General's office. No important move is expected on the part of the ie ceivers within the next few days. , 'ir thought the commission will be '^"ample time to decide on wheth V er to give the bond, to choose between striving the bond and going to jai tor 1 ?nht<nnpt. ? In case of attachment for contempt tho case will he taken up on habeas corpus, in which the trouble - about the bond will have to he gone all over again.

"TIk; serious decline in the price of cotton made it of the utmost impor tance that I should (rot a better per- | aonal idea of the real situation. " Record ing to the facta gleaned I eee no reason why those who have spot cotton need be uneasy mh to the final outcome of prices. India is prac tically 2,000,000 brtles short.. America practically 2,000,000 bales short, ug- j gxegating from these two sections alouo 4,000,000 bales less tWan last year, making a reduction of 25 per cent in the world's Visible and invis ible supply. "The spindle capacity this year is far in excess of that of last yeur. Therefore more cotton is needed. "It is estimated that there are be ing consumed ut the present rate, aboui 1,000,000 bales per month. Ac cording to the figures of Mr.' Hester there is available, for the bulance of the season, a little over 4,0Q/),0TK). Therefore bv the 1st . of September the stocks of raw cotton will be prac t ie ally exhausted and no reserve to carry over at oil "Confidence in frudo is being rap- a idly restored, money is peting easier, the Southern mills are. reported as being practically without cotton, the Northern mills are short of stocks and, from air. indications and from every standpoint, if the present hold el's of tjp6t cotton arc able to h^ld on somebody will have to pay the price. . "Wo have learned a valuable les son on account of the dependence of s? many producers on the store.-, and banks. Let 's reduce that dependence this year by reducing our obligations for home- supplies and fertilizer bills.' "I was delighted with the spirit of cheer and determination at every poitn visited. Wo are becoming sea soned veterans in the fight for South ern prosperity, and we are learning to use the weapon with skill and ef fectiveness, and in the proportion that we demonstrate our ability in that proportion is I lie world learning to respect the one-time despised pro ducer. ' ' Business Getting Normal. Columbia, Speeiol. . ? There are | strong indications goinor show that the principal railroads of the Stale are enjoying a steady return to a nor mal amount of business. The roads arc rcquirod by law to file monthly financial statements of business done in the State with the railroad eoi? rn'spion, and while many of these have nV<* been filed for the spring months, those which have been make, an encouraging showing, and facts picked up by members of the radroad commission in various parts of the Stnte lead t<he members to eonfidentlv I believe that not only are. the roads j now experiencing a good .business throughout the State, but that gen- I erallv speakins? both the freight and passenger business for February of this year has been greater thnn the corresponding month of last year, when the wavo of prosperity t hough out the count rv was at top notch. Neither the Southern nor the Sen board has so far filed reports for the I spitlg months of this vear. At Green ville, where the Southern proposes to lay off a number of men, the commis sion has information from employes (o the effect that while a comparison lWwcen the possenger business for February of this year shows a fall ing off of about 10 per cent as com-_ pared with Inst year, the freieht busi ness is actually larger than last year nt this time .according to the road's report for February.

COMMERCIAL LIFE VERY ACTIVE President Finloy, of tho Southern Railway, Believes th? Situation in the South is au Favorable to an Early Revival of Prosperity as That in Any Other Part of tho Country. Washington, Special. ? President W\ W. Finlcy, of the Southern Hail way Company, who has been looking carefully into commercial and indus t rial conditions in the Southern Stages, wan asked for a summary of the result of his inquiries. M While business conditions !n .the Southern States are not aa. ?a.vorabl? (is \V0 would like to'ltuvo litem," said Mr. Finloy, "I think the situation in that section is fully as favorable to an oarly revival of prosperity as ? hat iii any other part of the country, Throughout the South, the banking institutions are in sound condition and although their managers are gen erally pursuing careful and conserv ative policies, sound busin-ss miter prises are generally able to obtain all of the credit needed, From most localities come reports that Southern fanners are in a pros perous condition, ami have substan tial bank accounts. In the United States as a whole and especially in the Southern section, agriculture is the predominant industry. Last year's crops were sold at remunerative -fu-icttwt, ? IrfH'gfW- -as n- result of tho~ purchasing power of the farmers, re tail trade in most Southern communi ties is fairly active. In those local il?efc where cotton mill employes and other industrial winkers are most numerous, there bus. of course, been more or less falling off. in retail bus iness as a result of the industrial de gression. As in all other section's there is a tendency on the part of re tail dealers in all lines to buy vcrv conservatively and reduce their stock for goods. This nccfcssarilv has the effect i>f curtailing the business of jobbers, who in turn are conserva tive in their purchases from manu facturers, and this, in turn, tends to accentuate the industrial depression. "That tho depression should have been so widespread and serious is due. 1 think, not so much to funda* Tntai unfavorable economic condi tions as to the enteral uncertainty as (o the future which has prevailed and to the consequent tendency on the part of the American people generally to economize in their expenditures The cumulative effects of all these in dividual economics passed on through retailers and jobbers, have fallen with full force upon the manufacturing and transportation interests of the country, which are consequently fuel ing the depression much more acutely than other interests. "Tho question of how soon a reviv al may be expected to begin is one which no man can answer with cer tainty, for the reason that some of. tho reasons for the continuance of the business depression are psychological This being true, ono of the most im portant results to bo brought about is the creating of a constructive senti ment based on failh in ourselves and in tho future. A few weak spots in our banking system have been elimi nated ; the natural resources of our country have not been diminished and the industry and enterprise of the American people are as great as be foro. Under these circumstances, he force, as a result of the prolongation of existing conditions, economic com plications ariscj it it the duty of each one of us to look to the future, rath er t^an to the past, and to contribute to the best of his ability, to the bring ing about of such a sound construc tion sentiment as will substantially aid in return to prosperity."

With only one vote recorded nsrmnst it, that of Mr. Littlcfield, of I Maine, the House of Representatives under suspension of the rules passed the Sterling employers' liability bill, after 40 minutes' debate. In brief, tho bill establishes the doctrine that the the railroad companies engaged in inter-State commerce are liable for personal injuries received by emplov. es in the service of such carriers. abolishes the strict common law rule oP liability which bars a rccovcrv for tho personal injury or death of nn employee, occasioned by the negli gence of a fellow servant. It also relaxes the common law rule which makes contributory negligence a de* fense to claims for such injuries. A provision, however, diminishes ?)ie amount of the recovery in the same degree that the negligence of the in jured one contributed to tho injury. The bill further makes each party responsible for his own negligence, and requires each to bear the burden thoreof. ? A truce between the Democrats and Republicans was declared for a time when under a suspension of the rules the House took vip the employ ers' liability bill. The Bill Explained. Mi*. Sterling, of Illinois, explained the provisions of the bill, and in re sponse to a question by Mr. Crum packcr, of Indiana, stated that the bill would be applicable to inter urban cat* linen between States and street railroad lines in the territories and the District of Columbia. Mr. Henry, of Texas, said the bill was n meritorious and*1' constitutional one, and that not a Democratic vote be recorded against it. In the opinion of Mr. Littlofleld ' Metion 3 7df the bill, relating to ac tions at law in ca:<e? of contributory negligence, in an innovation of ex? isting laws. He delivered a legal ar gument in support of his contention and declared ibpt the bill is now open to the same .objection that was raised rurainst the act declared un constitutional bv the Supreme Court of the United States. Minority Leader Williams wel i corned "&? opportunity to illustrate] to the- country *how quickly and how rapidly we can join in passing remedial legislation/' Continuing Mr. William* ?said the Democrats v.ould bo glad to be furnished with more like It "and to repeat the il lustration as each remedial bill is Qrti&bed to Hie How*.

He made it plain that so far as he and the National Civic Federation nre concerned they desire to change to be made in the Sherman law that would authorize an inter-State boy cott, as defined by the anthracite coal dommission. Mr. Gompers declared that organ ized labor does not want its contracts with employers to be passed on as to tbou\ resanublcrtefcH. xu u11 reason ableness by n commissioner: that rather would labor submit to the law as it now stands. Further hearing oh the bill was postponed to Thurs day, April 16th. President Seth Low of the Na tional Civic Federation made a state ment when the committee met as to the purposes of the bill under consid eration. Suspension of Hostilities. Asbeville, N. C\. ?5pdcial.-*-It is rumored here thai a "suspension of hostilities" is probable in the South Carolina dispensary matter. Recent ly .Judge Pritcluird granted the mo tion of counsel for the dispensary winding-up commission for a super sedeas bond fixing tho amount 'at $2f>0,000, tho sum represented by the claims of the complainants. It was not thought that this bond would be made. In fact counsel at first de clared plainly that they would not or conld not mako such a bond. Subse quently. however, they have express ed, it i* Understood, a willingness to make the bond. At tho time nothing was said about a deposit of the se curities, but Judge Pritchard incor porated this provision in his order. The dispensary commission didn't like this phase of the matter but it is now believed that it will make the bond and also deposit the securi ties. In fact Asheville gentlemen in terested in the case have this infor mation semi-offldally. In the event that this is dono the receivers re cently appointed by Judge Pritchard will not make demand for the trust fund of $300,000. Street Cars Tied Up in Pensacola. Pcnsacoln, Fla.f Special. ?
