St.—Represen- . tatlvs Ralnex, of Illinois, this sfter- MOB OallVOrOd k iCkthln* and Bon- aatlonal speech in the house, upon the Panajna canal purchase. He at- . tacked President-elect Taft, William NeTson Cromwell, a number of New York financiers, and others. He •aid, in part: “It is to be regretted th^t the time of the president of the United States has been so much taken up with outdoor rports and among the p^gasures of the lighter literature. He knows nothing of the drudgery, », physical or mental, that Is required *< to arrive at matter of fundamental Importance. — ' "Declarations of alleged facts that come with so much assurance and snch frequency from the White House are not always entitled to the weight we would like to give U communications from the chief ex ecutive of the nation. The state ments with reference to Panama ca nal matters are sometimes particu larly inaccurate; “For some weeks the secret serv- - ice agencies of the government have been at work investigating the senloi •enator from South Carolina. They have succeeded In discovering that he used h' 8 frank inadvertently in private correspondence, and so de- ' prlved the government of revenue to the amount of two cents, and the matter was considered importanl enough to be embodied In a special message from the president to con gress. The senior senator from Massa chusetts, I believe, is still Invited to White House dinners, Is the presi dent's friend and advisor and th< * ’ cabinet maker of the Incoming presi dent. I have not heard of any secret . service agents, disturbing the senloi senator from Massachusetts, and yet he Is directly, Individually and sol emly responsible for the fact that on the first day of January of thit * year for the purposes I have named there was taken out of the treasur> of the United States over one million dollars. “We have embarked now upon the stormy seas of Central American politics. Our flag is floating now In the Isthmus of Panama. It seems -that the Constitution does not always follow the flag: In fact, It has no* followed it at all In Us recent ramh lings, but a coterie of New York Clt> financiers follow it and flock around Z vultures, wherever it goes jr have followed it to the Isthmus of Panama and have already, unde its sheltering folds, pounded down upon that defenceless Httie country They have taken everything in thi> country that is not nailed down an' it was they that have commenced their operations on the Isthmus of Panama. “It becomes necessary now P know something about Central Amer ica politics, and I desire to intro duce to the country Senor Don Jost Domingo de Obaldla. It ia impor tant to know something about tht career of this interesting Spanish American statesman.” Senor Obaldia’s connection with the Panama canal and its purchase 1 by the United States was then gone into, the speaker declaring that Ohnldla and William Nelson Crora well, together with high officials at Washington and elsewhere had agreed upon certain actions not t< their credit. “Tliere is pending now in the gen eegl imembly of Panama,’ he said, “the moat infamous railroad propo sltlon ever submitted to„any gov ernment.' That infant republic 1m had no experience in building 01 managing railroads, this propo sition Ja being seriously considered and about to be adopted by the gen v eral assembly. Randolph -0. Ward, ot th« city of Kew York, is the per- > son who appears on record In the * matter and vrbo seeks to get for his successors, his helrror assigns, most - valuable concessions.” Mr. Cromwell’s record, as general eonnsel for the Panama canal com pany was gone into and also hir legal connection with E.

It has even been stated that some of the prohibitionists are in favor of this measure. The bill provides that an "elec tion shall bo held to determine the State's policy regarding the sale of alcoholic liquors on August 24, 1909.” The object Is to find out just how the people stand upon this ques tion. <u As Is generally provided In such votes there will be slips of paper pro vided with two questions as follows: 1. Are you in favor of local op tion between county prohibition and a county dispensary system? 2. Are you in favor of extend ing local option between a system of prohibition or license or a county dispensary system? Theaa.-^uejiUoaa will practically wttle the attitude of the people of South Carolina as to the liquor ques tion. The managers for election |nd the other necessary provisions are nade In the bill for the election. MONEY TO HUNT GRAFT. Rockefeller, Carnegie and HchifT Contribute to the Fund.

I have only pre sented the evidence.

It will not be long, If this scheme goes through before the campaign contributions made by some of the gentlemen In terested in this enterprise, will be returned a hundred fold. “If we permit the plans of Mr. Cromwell and his associates to go through on the Isthmus of Panama, and if these treaties are confirmed, there will be no revenues in Panama out of which to pay thla-Indemnity.

Is very bright. The resolution is of great importance to the entire cotton trade, but especially to the cotton grower in that It (Ives the latter full InTbr.matlon aa to the prob able demand during tbe course of the season for his product, and there by enables him to put his cotton on the market in a more intelligent manner. The census committee, to which this resolution was referred, gave Mr. Lever a hearing yesterday, at which time the director of the cen sub, Mr. North, and Mr. Roper, who is in charge of the issuing of the glnners’ report, appeared with, Mr. Lever in support of his resolution. It is the opinion that these gentle men made a most favorable Impres sion upon the committee, and that the committee In a short time will report tha rssoluUdn favoraSle to tbe House. In support of this res olutlon, Mr. Lever said among other things: —-— “The committee is aware.-df course, that the census bureati Is collecting statistics from tlm^to time showing the amount of cotton pro duced, the amount of cOtton grown, and at the same time the statistical bureau of the department of agri culture issues a general report on the first qf'December, estimating ;he amount of cotton that has been raised during that year, so that the government Is furnishing to the cot- tbn world at this time figures as to the amount of cotton produced, but is giving only partial statisites as to the amount of cotton needed from time to time by the manufacturing world. The cotton farmers throughout the South, in my observation, com plain about this system. They are willing to have the amount of cot ton ginned from time to time, pub lished as is now being ddfce by the census bureau, they are willing to have the government estimate on the amount of cotton that has been produced during the year, but they .contend, and I think with justice, hat if you are to furnish to the man ufacturer, the buyer and consuming world, the amount of cotton pro duced, It Is bo more than right, no more than -Just, that you should at the wame; time, furnish fa them, the selling world, the producing world the necessities of the buying world is is Indicated by the stock on hand in the various warehouses and jthe .ike, and this resolution undertakes o furnish a complete statistical pic ture, both as to the amount pro iuced and the amount needed to meet the demand of the mills. We can Illustrate this In a homely way perhaps by putting two parties opposite to each other on either side of a table in a game of “seven up.’ the cards are dealt and each Is care ful that he conceals his “hand.’ The government steps in and says to one, In this case the cotton producer the cotton farmer, “lay your hand on the table face up.” The manufactur er sees his hand and plays his cards accordingly, and, of course, the farmer gets the worst of the game This resolution Intends to lay both hands on the table face up, so that each player will have a square deal The cotton favruer is entitled to this consideration. This eliminates to some extent the feature of speculation, and gambling in cotton, in my Judgment, and gives both parties, the buyer and seller, A square, fair deal at the hands of the government, so far as statistics for cotton go, and that is the only purpose of the resolution. I will say in this connection before I close that for the first time in the history of the government we have reached i point where congress can legislate along these lines. Hitherto we have not been able to get these statistics of cotton on hand in the various ■ountlea. and the warehouses of the world so as to present a complete picture, but through the good work of the census bureau during the past year, an arrangement, I understand, has been made with the foreign con sumers o? cotton by which they will fgrnish to the census bureau their holdings from time to time as re quested by the bureau, so that now we are in a position through this resolution to collect the figures from the United States, and at the same time supplement them with the fig ures that we get through the census bureau from the foreign holders of cotton, and thereby present s com- plete and* absolute picture of the cot ton trade, the - amount produced' and the amount needed by the manufac turers.” In answer to questions by mem bers of the committee, Mr. Lever said further: “The census bureau is now isshing a report on September 1. Tbe heavy selling peHod of cot ton, when It goes out of Ihe hands of the farmer, ranges from Septem ber to January 1. The census bureau is furnishing oniy one report i year, that of September 1. That furnishes rather incomplete infor mation ;and this resolution propoaea to givf to tha eotton world, through r selling period, tha figures Which Woe Guarded by Two Police men, One of Whom Was Killed by the Robbers. London, Jan. 26.—A daring hold up was perpetrated on the streets of Tottenham, in plain view of hun dreds of people, but so bold was the work of the two bandits, and so quickly did they work that It was not until they had secured their booty and fled that a general search was atarted, „. An automobile, containing two weeks’ wages for the Sherman Rub ber company, was enroute for the plant at noon today, guarded by two policemen, when suddenly, without warning Two men leaped upon the foot board of the automobile. Both held revolvers in their hands. They fired, killing one of the policemen, and dangerously wounding the other. The chauffeur brought the car to a halt and the satchel containing the^ money was stolen brom beneath the seat of the tonnean. There is no clew to the robbers, aRhptigh the usual police drag net Is^thrown out. t Is thr THE WAGES OF SIN. Georgia La^ Shot Down in a Crap ~ - Game. Alpharetta, Ga., Jan. 25.—Lying face upward In a pine thicket near Alpharetta, with playing cards and money scattered about the body of Frank Webb/ aged nineteen, was found late yesterday evening, with a bullet wound through the heart The coroner’s jury is busy today in trying to learn the details of his death. Five white boys and eight ne groes are locked in the Milton conn ty Jail today following the investi gation. They were companions of young Webb in a game of cards, if is alleged, and the evidence points toward the shot having been fired by one of the gamesters. Some of the negroes said this morning that a white boy fired the shot. Young Webb’s father, E. C. Webb was sheriff of Milton county five years ago. ot so. Miners Killed. San Louis Obispo, Cal., Jan. 23.— Six miners were killed and eight others were severely injured by an explosion of gas in the Stone Sanon Coal Mine at Chanvellor’s Friday night. One of the miners entered a room with a lighted torch. The room was full of gas and the ex- Tilosion followed. Most of the men were Italians. Norfolk Shocked.

Valuable Inventfon of a South Caro linian That Will Revolutionize the Handling of Cotton. «A large manufatcuring plant is to be established in Richmond, Va., to manufacture the Neely compreps, which was Invented by Mr. Samuel M. Neely, of Chester, S. C., and which it is claimed will revolutionize the handling of cotton that is ex ported to other countries. According to the figures that come from the census bureau at Washing ton there were about 12,500 J _000 bales of cotton ginned in the South ern States last year, and It took something like 30,000 gins to do this work. Ginning means the sepa ration of the cotto'h fleece from the seed and putting the fleece Into bales; large unweildy bales that are but poorly fit for shipment by steam er fa foreign parts and that cost entirely too much In freight,-storage and other charges. To meet this situation there have been established In the leading South ern cities during the past decade or two various compress companies, which take the bales of cotton as they come from the country gine and compress them into smaller areas and put them in a kind of shape for shipment to Europe ports but as a matter of fact‘there has been but little change within the past three quarters of a century in the manner of bailing and compressing cotton for foreign shipment, except that the irop screws has been substituted for the old wooden screw that was use by our forefathers. Of course, there have been many improvements in the gins that are in use so far, as tbe mere matter of the separation of the seed from the lint is concerned, but all of the im provements made in the matter of compressing the ginned bales ready for shipment have been primarily In the interest, of large corporations, which control the comparatively few compress establishments in this country. The owners of these steam compesses have been enabled to form one of the most gigantic and most autocratic of the trusts. In the olden . time the cotton grown In the South that went to all parts of the world was ginned at the country and village gins and con densed in the old-time bales of great bulk, pounds. These bulky bales took up a great deal of platform space at the storage points and a great deal of car space when the railroads came to haul them to the seaport points for shipment to for eign manufacturers, and also a great deal of space in the ships that took them across the waters. The compress became a necessity, that is. a steam compress that could take the bulk bales and squeeze them intp smaller space. These steam compresses are few in the number, being established only in the sea port cities of the South, and in time, as before stated, the compress men became something of a trust, and then later on one of the most arro gant of all the trusts. The ships re fused to receive for transportation the old-time bulky bale direct from Machinery Plurftbtn PHONE 184. COLUMBIA. 3 0- Jnmped Into the Ocean.

This is the fact which these gentle men have In mind In desiring this legislation.” The Hon. D. C. Roper, who is in charge of the issuing of the ginners’ report, also discussed the advisabili ty of Mr. Lever's resolution at some length. In conclusion Mr. Lever contin ued: “If there are no further ques tions, 1 am very much obliged to you for your courteous attention, and IH' conclusion let the say that 1 re gard this as a very Important matter to the cotton Industry of this coun try, and as suggested by the director, Mr. North, there is no opposition-to it from any source.

The and neatly covered with burlap In- l)Utter sold for more than $8. stead of the fire-inviting jute, and was placed at the mercy of the com press men. At least 8,000,000 bales of our cotton are exported, and every one of these exported bales must go through one of the few existing pom- presses located in the cities. This export cotton has to be shipped from the gin to the compress and be com pressed before it is put on ship board for shipment to some other country. All this costs money and it comes out of the pockets of the Southern farmer. To obviate all of these interminable troubles and to bring about some peace of mind to the Southern cotton grower and to increase his profits on the sweat of his brow inventive genius has been at work for several years. As a result of this study several Inventions were made and came on the market, but none of them en tirely filled the bill, until Mr. Samuel M. Neely, of Chester, S. C., who lived in the cotton country, brought out his cheap and in every way suit able compress. After years of study and just before his death. Mr. Neely invented and had patented a com press that is believed to meet the situation and this Is the machine that a million dollar company has been organized to manufacture In Richmond. The Neely machine Is very simple and will be made in time for this year’s crop at a cost to the glnner of about $1,500 each, and their great saving to the cotton grower Is suf ficient to guarantee that every one of the thirty-odd thousand gins In the country, will sooner of later have one in operation with the gin: and by this means the cotton growers of the country will be guaranteed a saving in the business of a frac- ion over $3 per bale, or ia the ag- gregat5~$?5;flAA,000 fa $30.(nm,0t)0 per annum on the cotton crop of tbe South. The means by which this great savings to the cotton growers of the South can readily be seen when it is remembered 4bat one of the ordi nary railway cars will take from the Interior, thkt is, direct from the fin to the expbrtlng point, 100 bales of fatten compressed by the Neely tta- nhlne, whereas under the present sys tem of ginning four cars are requir ed for that number of bales. Then another big item of economy is the saving of freight in shipping to European countries. The ships which carry cotton to Saropa charga by cubld foot space and not by weight. Hence thera Will is so packed that the covering holds good until It reaches the spinner wherever he may be, thus making it a package that In every way pleases | the spinner of the East and makes it more valuable to him. This mode of packing Is not new except In America. The East Indian and Egyptian cotton shippers, who annually land many bales in England and. other European markets have long since been far ahead oL Ameri cans In their system of baling, and as a consequence they have not been subjected to the tare charges which every American shipper has suffered from. These tare charges amount to $15,000,000 annually, and these millions the South has lost by in- CLASSIFIED COLUMN Indian games, brown Le, horns, buff Orphingtons and Be gle hounds.
