Methodist ministers and laymen
from 11 Southern conferences gathered

of the church to the industrial prob1
lem. The conference was called to
order tonight in Tryon street church,
Rev. Dr. John R. Nelson, secretary
of the home department of the board
i v of missions, presided. Dr. Nelson,
k who delivered the opening address,

the difficulties that beset the laborer
? in the home mission field, laying
i special stress upon the problem of
reaching the people of the cotton mill
4 settlements which is just now the
most serious one confronting this department
of the church. D. B. Hollicoffer,
M. D., of Weldon, N. C., in an
address on "The Layman and Home
Missions," went over practically the
same around from the layman's
standpoint.
- Tomorrow morning the conference
will devote itself to a "Survey of the
Field," at which time representatives
of the board of missions from every
Southern Conference will present to
the conference the conditions as to
mill settlement wrork obtaining in

BANK GUARANTY LAW INVALID.
Nebraska Governor Deplores Decision
of Two Federal Judges.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 18.?In a statement
on the action of two federal
judges who yesterday declared the
Nebraska bank guaranty law unconstitutional,
Governor Shallenberger
deplores the ruling as smacking, he
says of partisanship, and what he believes
is a distinct blow at remedial
state legislation. Gov. Shallenberger
declares that the reference of the
case to the federal instead of the
it. o iicnmotirm r\f nnu".
olclLt? JUUiV/iai j 10 a uouipucivu v*. yv..
er. He says in part:
"The decision is exactly what those
who for partisan or selfish reasons
are opposed to any effective guaranty
of deposits law desired. It goes to
the very heart of the question and denies
the right of the state to require
the banks, which exist by virtue of
their charters to pay a certain tax
to create a guaranty fund or to prescribe
a form and manner under
which the banking business shall be
conducted. It appears to leave banking
no more a matter for public legislation
or limitation than the grocery
or butcher business.
"The law which has been set aside
by the decree of the court was
fraught with great benefit to the people.
I am sure that the people desired
the legislation and were anxious
to see it put into actual practice. One
result of the nullification of legislation
bv the courts would be to inten
sify the desire and determination that
our state supreme court shall not be
longer constituted wholly of members
of one political party. It might
be noted in passing that the distinguished
democrat of this state, who
was made a federal judge by a revered
republican president, was not called
into judgment upon this case.
"The overthrow of legislative enactments,
by inteference by the executive,
by the use of patronage, or
the veto power, and by the nullification
of laws by our courts, has steadily
tendered to degrade the power of
the executive branch of our government,
and to make it a thing for politicians
and lobbyists to play with."
ANOTHER BANK FOR AIKEN.
Savings Institution Will Open for
Business About the Middle of
Next Month.
Aiken, Oct. 19.?The Aiken Savings
bank is the latest banking instifnr
thp r?itv of Aiken. The
bank will be ready for business about
the 15th of November. The corporators
are: Messrs. J. P. McNair, R.
W. McCreary, I. N. Eubanks and C.
K. Toole, all of whom are business
men of Aiken of the highest standing.
The Aiken Savings bank will fill a
long felt want in this city. There
has been no savings institution here.
The Farmers' and Merchants' bank
has operated a savings department,
by means of issuance of savings certificates,
but as this has been found
to not meet the wants and needs, the
gentlemen named, all of whom are directors
in the Farmers' and Merchants'
bank, decided that a new institution
for savings alone, is needed
in Aiken, hence the organization of
nnmnonv Thp TIP W Institution

will be run in connection, probably
with the Farmers' and Merchants'
bank, but will be a different concern.
The capitalization of the company is
$25,000. The books of subscription
will be opened on Tueday, October
26, at the Farmers' and Merchants'
bank.
Seaboard Owners to Get Road.
Asheville, N. C., Oct. 19.?The Seaboard
Air Line railway will be removed
from receivers' hands November
4.. This action was taken yesterday
when United States Circuit Judge
J. C. Pritchard approved the plan of
reorganization of the Seaboard Air
Line railway company and signed a
final decree directing receivers S.
Warfield Davles, R. Lancaster Williams
and E. C. Duncan to deliver
the property to the railway company.
The plan of reorganization was that
which has been hitherto substantially
approved by Judge Goff. The decree
was presented by General Counsel
Leigh R. vVatts and Assistant Coun
sei James jv. wrigui, ui cue ocaboard
and the Continental Trust
company, on whose complaint receivership
was granted, was represented
by Innes Brown, of New York.
The decree sets out that no persons
in interest objected to the plan of
reorganization or decree. Mr. Watts
entered the consent of the Atlanta
and Birmingham Air Line railway,
which has recently been included in
the Seaboard system.
Armless Man Wins Fight.
Wilkes-Barre, Oct. 18.?Although
he has no arms, William Kilton was
arrested at Blomsburg, near here,
charged with assault and battery and
fighting, and was held in $300 bail.
Grover Leiby, the complainant,
showed several bruises and marks of
the encounter, alleging that Kilton
3truck him with the stump of his
right arm, which is only a few inches
long, kicked him and pushed him.
Kilton said that he thought Leiby
was one of the several men who have
been teasing him, and added that
while he could not fight the whole
crowd he was not afraid of any one
of them.
Morris' Wounds Prove Fatal.
Florence, Oct. 19.?Charlie Morris,
who was shot by Prince Hujon at
Anderson company's sawmill m Timooonsville
Saturday last and was
brought to Dr. McLeod's infirmary ;
bere for treatment, died this afternoon

AFTERNOON AT
EXAMINES PHOSPHATE BEDS.
State Geologist Sloan Investigates Deposits
at Branchville.
Branchville, Oct. 19.?State Geologist
Sloan, of Columbia, was ir
town last week examining the phosphate
bed that was discovered here
last winter on the lands of Mrs. M. E.
Murry. When the discovery of phosphate
deposits was first made here
there were quite a number of shark's
teeth and other geological specimens
that indicated strongly that there is
a bed of phosphate deposits here that
is well worth considering. Since that
*
time there nas Deen iuoit CA^a v anuu
done and more deposits have been
found. It looks as though the deposit
may he sufficient to warrant the establishment
of phosphate works at
this place.
Mr. Sloan is certain that the deposit
is phosphate but he does not
know how great the deposit is 01
whether it is enough to justify in going
to the expense of establishing a
plant here sufficient to manufacture
the material. He will look into the
matter, though, later this week.
Then the workmen will dig deeper
and wider and see to what extent
the deposit goes. Alter tneir muuie
are completed the owner of the land
will know better what she will do
with the bed. It is believed by a
great many people here that the bed
is rich and that it will be worked
soon. If this discovery proves that
the bed is rich enough to justify establishing
a plant here it will certainly
mean a great deal for Branchville
and vicinity in a financial way, for
then we can get our phosphate and
fertilizing materials at home, without
having to go to Charleston and pay a
big price for it.
The Marvel of Cotton.
Figuring in round numbers, but
near enough to show the trend, we
get some results that are impressive.
Ten years ago the South was makin
10,000,000 bales of cotton. This
yielded in money $300,000,000. Now
the South makes 12,000,000 bales,
which, at current prices, will yield
for the crop nearly $800,000,000.
This section now has an aggregate
of 10,000,000 spindles in all Its cotton
mills. The cost of a cotton mill
such as is usually built in the South
fViorpfnrp the
IS $ZU per &piuuic. ~
total cost of all the cotton mills in the
South is about $200,000,000.
Gross advance in the value of the
cotton crop now over what it was ten
rears ago is something like $500,000,000.
Out of the profits from one crop
the farmers could buy all the cotton
mills and have $300,000,000 profit
left over.
The $200,000,000 for the cotton
mills is invested for a long time.
The $500,000,000 increase which
the farmers receive is annual.?Charlotte

COLUMBIA COLLEGE.
Work Progresses Despite the Recent
Destructive Fire.
Columbia, Oct. 18.?Work at Cot
lumbia College is progressing well
and the classes are cared for as
> though there had been no destructive
. fire. As is known the trustees of the
institution leased the Colonia hotel
t just after the fire and announced to
i the patrons that all applicants would
i be accommodated,
i The college has found it necessary
; to rent in addition to the hotel, the
; Van Metre residence just across the
t street. The number of students is
i as large as could be desired.
In the meantime a large force of
men are at work out at College Park
: getting things in shape preparatory
to rebuilding the school. It is ex
pected that the college will be back
; in a new building at the beginning of
' the next session.
Cotton Goods Sell Freely.
? New York, Oct 18.?Cotton goods
have been selling more freely at high
er prices especially in the fabrics of
; print cloth yarn construction for
i printers, bleachers, jobbers and investors.
Fall River sold 410,000
, pieces during the week, of which
about 350,000 pieces were for future
delivery running into March of next
year. Prices have advanced %c to
%c a yard. Bleached goods have
been advanced a second time, the base

Fine cottons are also slow, selling in
first hands. i:
Mills are now being forced to buy {
cotton at the higher prices, and they i
are laying a price foundation on '
cloths that will secure them against (
loss. Curtailment of production has t
virtually been agreed upon by man- '
agers representing more than 10,- (
0000,000 spindles, this measure is re- t
garded as more productive for the ]
mills, rather than antagonistic to the (
market. j
Agents think there will be a restricted
consumption of cotton goods (
in consequence of high prices. Gen- i
eral dry goods trade is making steady ]
progress. (
To Arrange Election. (
Walterboro, Oct. 19.?Notice has (
been given by County Chairman j
M. P. Howell, calling the county ex- ]
ecutive committee to meet at the (
court house here on the 25th of Oc- /
tober for the purpose of arranging j
a special election to fill the vacancy (
caused by the death of D. C. Sanders, i
! It is probable that the first primary ;
! to elect his successor will be held \
Tuesday, November 9th, and the second
primary, if necessary, November
23rd.
The general election has been ordered
by Speaker Whaley of the
! house of representatives, to be held
; Tuesday, the 7th of December.

just now in the county as to the successor
of Mr. Sanders. No announcement
has yet been made as to who
will be the candidates.
