' Colombia, Special.? 'No immediate
action is to be tsken bjy the State
as a result of Judge Pritehard'e ordei
st Asherille granting the- motion of
, qouneel for the commission to stay
the order appointing receivers on con
dition the commission giv^boryl 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 's latest* order.
Yfbat that conference will do is not
nitimated, though before the order
? was made the State 's attorneys jrtain
br-tsaid that an extra session of the
Legislature would be probable if
Judge Pritchard required too large a
? bona. And the bond he did require
Attorney General Lyon does not hesi
tate to characterise as outrageous
pnd indicative of the sort of justice
to "be expected from Judge Pritchard,
who allowed the other side some time
ago to tie up the entire fund with
a bond of only $10,000 ' Governor
Ansel gently, but flnnly msintained
bisvusual attitude of silence* Asked
whether he would object to going as
, far .as to say that an extra session
is possible, he replied : 1 * My answer
to 411 questions is that I shall have
. absolutely nothing to say 'one way
r I or the other touching any phase of
. %lie 'situation." It has been intimat
ed ^rom time to time that Governor
Am?l has been usurping the prero
, gratives of the attorneys in .the case,
but 'at present he seems to-be follow
ing "their lead entirely. He .hwiApen
studying the case constantly erf an at
torney as well as from hie jpwwpbint
as Governor, but be seems eeotent to
follow the adviee of th^ , Attorney
General's office. No important move
' ' \is espected on the part of. the re
' r ceivxys within tlie next few jlays. It
, is thought the commission will be
given ample time to decide on wheth
er to give the bond, to choose between
giving the bond and going to jail for
! contempt. In case of attachment for
. , contempt the case will be taken Up on
'?/afcabeas corpus, in which the trouble
' ^^about the bond will have to be ffone
? iall over again.* The Governor prefers
? jito get to the Supreme Court with as
little friction as possnble, but it is
still believed' at the State houpe that
an extra session is it least a possi
bility. The State sinking fund 'com
mission put out its advertisement for
bids for the dispensary real estate
This is a valuable piece of property
for wholesale purposes, embracing an
?t entire square in the wholesale dis
trict, bounded by Pulaski, Lady,
Hughbr and Gervais streets, four

Colombia, Special. ? "I have just
returned ft fom a rather hurried trip
to the West," said Mr. E. D. Smith.
"The serious decline in the price of
cotton made it of the utmost impor
tance that I should get a better per
sonal idea of the real situation.
"According to the facts gleaned I
'see no:, reason why" those who have
spot cotton need be uneasy as to the
final outcome of prices. India is prac
tically 2,000,000 bales short. America
practically 2,000,000 bales shorty ag
gregating from these two sections
alone 4,000,000 bales less than last
year; making a reduct ion 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 year.
Therefore more cotton is needed.
"It is estimated fhat there are be
ing consumed at the present rate,
about 1,000,000 bales per month. Ac
cording to the figures of Mr. Hester
there is available, for the balance of
the season, a little over 4,000,000.
Therefore by the 1st of September
the stocks of raw cotton will be prac
tically exhausted and no reserve to
carry over at all
"Confidence in trade is being rap
idly restored, money is geting easier,
the Southern mills are reported as
being practically without cotton, the
Northern mills are short of stocks
and from all indications and from
every standpoint, if the present hold
ers of spot cotton are able to hold
on somebody will have to pay the

Business Getting Normal.
Columbia, Special. ? There are
strong indications going to show that
tlie principal railroads of the State
are enjoying a steady return to a nor
mal amount of business. The roads
are required by law to file monthly
financial statements of business done
in the State with the railroad com
mission, and while many of these have
not been filed for the spring
I months, those which have been make
i an encouraging showing, and fwts
picked up by members of the railroad
commission in various parts of t ie
State lead the members to confidently
believe that not only arc the roads
now experiencing a good business
throughout the State, but that f?en*
erally speaking both the freight and
passenger- bnsiness for February of
this vear has been greater than the
corresponding month of last year,
when the wave of prosperity though
out the country was at top notch.
Neither the Southern nor the Sea
board has so far filed reports for the
? sping months of this year. At Oreen
I ville, where the Southern proposes to
lay off a number of men, the commis
sion has information from employes
to the effect that while a comparison
between the passenger business for
Februarv of this year shows a fall
ing off of about 10 per cent as com
lMred with last year, the freight busi
ness is actually larger than last year
at this time .according to the road s
report for February.

MANY LIVES LOST
TkbtHNs Mm Leee TMr Utm
Whm the Torpedo Boat Destroy*
Tiger and the (Mnr Berwick Col
lide Off the Bxitth Oouk
Portsmouth, Eng., By Cable.?
Thirty-six men, including Lieutenant
Middleton, the eommender o t the
torpedo boat destroyer Tiger, lost
their lives in the collision off the
Isle of Wight Friday night between
that vessel and the British oruiser
Berwick. The vessels belong to the
Portsmouth division of the British
home fleet and were engaged in
nig-ht manoeuvres in the ehannel
while on their way to Portland. The
night was very dark and the Ber
wick was steaming slowly. When
the destroyer attempted to cross the
big cruiser's bow she was caught
amidships and cut in half with
knife-like precision, sinking almost
immediately.
The deck crew, who were dressed
in heavy oil skins and boots, went
down with ? the vessel, not having
time to free themselves from these
heavy encumbrances. Of the 22 men
who were rescued most of them
were engineers and stokers, who,
having light clothing, were able to
keep themselves afloat until boats
from other ships, which were im
mediately launched, picked them up.
The collision occurred at 8:10
o'clock at night. The ships were
manoeuvring without lights. #t is
believed that several of the men
were killed bv the impact. Tugs
were dispatched to the scene of the
disaster at daylight.
The smaller naval vessels were in
the midst 'of an attack on their big
ger consorts when the disaster oc
curred. The entire fleet was under
masked lights, and in the absolute
darkness the Tiger was suddenly
struck square amidships by the Ber
wick. The stem of this vessel, to
use the words of an eye witness, cut
the destroyer in two as if she had
been made of paper. The forward
half sank instantaneously and the
sea became dotted with struggling
men.
Most of them, however, sank he
fore help could reach them. The
warships in the immediate vicinity
quickly had their boats overboard
and the scene of the tragedy was bril
liantly illuminated by a concentra
tion of searches. After the accident
the Tiger floated for a minute or two,
just long enough to enable those on
board to seize life belts. They
threw themselves into the water and
were able to keep afloat until picked
up. William E. Middleton was on
, the bridge at the time of the dis
aster and went down with the fore
part of the ship. The Tiger had a
complement of 59 men and was of
400 tons.
A stoker rescued from the Tiger
gave a vivid account of the accident.
"The Berwick flew up out of the
blackness and seemed to fall on us,"
said this man. "The noise of the
impact was not great, but in a few
seconds we were ripped in halves.
The forward half of the Tiger reared
up like a frightenede horse and then
sank beneath the waves. The en
gineer-lieutenant, who was in the
engine room in the after part,
shouted:- 'All hands on deck,' but
owing to the hissing of the steam
and the noice of the engines many of
tho stokers could not hear him.
When we did realize what had hap
pened we made frantic efforts to get
on deck. The water was pouring
down into the hold in grent torrents
and it was all we could do to make
our way against it. Everything hap
pened with startling suddenness. A
minute or two after the collision we
were drifting past the Berwick in
I lie full glare of the searchlights.
The next thing I remember is being
dragged into one of the rescuing
boats in a semi-conscious condition."

Boston, Special. ? Bv (he action of

The foregoing ticket was nominat
ed Friday by the People's party con
vention, after two stormy sessions,
during which the Nebraska and Min
nesota delegations bolted because
they could not procure a po tponment
of the convention until after the nom
ination had been made by the Demo
cratic convention so that the People's
party might nominate W. J. Bryan
for President, if he were defeated at
the Democratic convention.
Delegations Bolt.
The Nebraska men fought desper
ately to the last, snd when Jay W.
Forrest, of Albany, N. Y., mounted
the platform to place Watson in nom
ination they withdrew from the con
vention, followed by the Minnesota
delegation, which consisted of one
man, T. J. Weighan. If Bryan is
nominated at Denver the men who
walked out of this convention say
that they und (be Populists of Ne
braska will support him to a man.
Debate on the proposal to postpone
the convention and the discussion of
the phraseology of the money plank
of the platform consumed the great
er part of the day. The discus
sion of the money plank was long,
but nil the oratory went for naught
as the plank adopted was that recom
mended by the resolutions commit
tee.
The platform was adopted as re
ported from the committee on reso
ld! ions.
At a meeting of the new national
committee, Jbmes H. Ferris, of Joliet,
111 Wfcs re-elected chairman and Jay
W. Forrest ,of Albany, N. Y., was
chosen vice chairman.
The platform, after setting forth
that the government has been con
trolled so as to place the rights of
property obove the rights of human
ity, and that financial combinations
have exercised too much power over
Congress, gives the position of the
party on finance as follows:
"The issuing of money is a func
tion of the government and should
not be delegated to corporation or
individual. The constitution gives to
Congress alone the power to issue
money and regulate the valued there
of. We, therefore, demand that all
money shall be issued by the govern
ment direct to the people without the
intervention of banks and be a full le
gal tender for all debts, public and
private and in quantities to supply
the necessity of the country. We
demand that postal savings banks be
instituted for the savings of the peo
ple."
Alien ownership of public lands is
opposed, and lands now held by
aliens or by corporations which liavs
violated the conditions of their grants
should be restored to the public do
main.
Government ownership of railroads
is urged on the ground that that pol
icy would prevent unjust discrimina
tions. Also that in order to per
fect the postal service the govern
ment of conditions of the wage earn
general telegraph and telephone sys
tems and provide a parcels post.
The platform favors the enactment
of legislation looking to the improve
ment of conditions of the wage eras
ers. demans the abolition of child
labor and the suppressing of sweat
shops, opposes the use of convict la
bor in competition with free labor;
denmnds the exclusion from American
shores of foreign pauper labor; fav
ors the 8-hour day, demands the en
actment of nn employer's liability
bill within constitutional bounds, de
clares that in times of depression
when workingmen are thrown into
enforced idleness, that works of pub
lic improvements should be at onee
inaugurated, emphasises the declara
tion of the Omaha platform that
"wealth belongs to him who creates
it .and every dollar taken from labor
without n just equivalent is robbery."
and opposes gambling in futures.
On the subject of injunctions the
platform says.
"We condemn all unwarranted as
sumption of authority of the inferior
Federal courts in annulling by in
junction the laws of the several
States and .therefore, demand of Con
gress such legislntion as shall inhibit
such usurpation nnd restricting to the
Supreme Court of the United States
alone ths exercise of this great pow
er."
To Settle Big Question.
Syracuse, N. Y.. Special. ?^ne of
the grave problems now confronting
the country will be finally settled by
a debate between the wind-jammers
of Syracuse University and Wesleyan
College. The latter will affirm tfce

ROAD EXPERT IN STATE
Mr. W. L Ipmb ?f the Dtf ifimt
of Afrinltm Twit* the Hlgh
wiyi of iwkr Ooumty.
Sumter, Special ? Mr. W. L. Spoon,
road expert of the department of ag
riculture, arrived in this eitj to ex
amine the roads of 8umter county
that he might make a report to the
department on the character of work
needed in this county. He spent the
morning in making an examination
under the tutelage of Mr. W. H. Scale
the county auperviaoi\ whose con
struction work on the famous sand
and clay roads is so well and favor
ably known. Mr. Spoon was shown
what improvements had been made,
what 'conditions must be met in im
proving those roads where nothing
nas beendone and the material avail
able for the work. He is now in a
position to make a definite and com
prehensive report on the character of
the work to be done when the gov
ernment road outfit visits Sumter
county. Mr. Spoon was emphatic in
his praise o? the sand and clay roads
in this county, which he has inspect
ed. He said that they were in the
main excellent examples of scientific
road building and that with improv
ed drainage and a few minor changes
in the method of construction there
would be nothing for the government
road experts to teach the Sumter
county officials. He said that some
of the roads were the most perfect
type of sand and clay highways he
had ever seen. The red clay, which
is found in quantities in this county,
he pronounced the ideal material for
this class of work. Mr. Spoon is not
informed of the exact time that the
road outfit will visit this county, but
it wil be here within a few months
Cotton 46 Tear* Old.
Columbia, Special. ? The history of
perhaps the oldest bale of cotton in
the State, which is still in a ware
house ,at Laurens, presents some in
teresting and instructive reflections
on the grest question of holding cot
ton for advance in price This parti
cular bale was grown in the season
of 18G2, and three years later was
worth 40 cents a pound in gold. As
it weighs 444 pounds, it would have
brought then $176.G0, which deposit
ed in a savings bank at 4 per cent
compounded quarterly would now
amount to $483.07. At one time in
its long history, however, it would
have brought only 4 cents a pound,
oi less than $20. Today it is worth
$44.40. It was recently rebaled and
in excellent condition. The bale is
the property of the grandson of the
lute Henry 'ihmnpson, who frew it
iu the war paiod of 1302.
