LEVER PRESENTS
| HiS BILL AGAIN

Reintroduces Cotton Futures
Measure That Was Turned
Down by Court
WILL MAKE IT VALID
STARTING IN SENATE
Action Designed to Relieve the
Law of a Technicality.
Washington.?Representative Lever
of South Carolina, author ( f the
cotton futures law recently declared
unconstitutional by Federal Judge
Hough of Nov/ York, has re-introduced
the bill. Mr. Lever said he consulted
many lawyers in the sei ate
and house and "their opinion is sub
stantially unanimous that the supreme
court would not uphold Judge
Hough."
"Judge Hough," Mr. Lever said,
"declared the cotton futures statute
of August 18, 11)14, unconstitutional
upon the ground it originated in the
senate instead of in the house. The
facts are that during the Sixty-third,
congress. Senator Smith of South Car
olina introduced a bill framed under
the postoffice clause regulating cotton
exchanges; I introduced a bill on the
same subject, seeking to accomplish
the same economic ends, framed under
the tax clause of the constitution.!
Senator Smith's bill passed the senate;
previous to house action on my bill.;
When the matter came before the
house my bill was substituted for'
Senator Smith's bill and in order to1
get an advantageous calendar posiitonl
it was assigned the senate number of
the Smith bill. The government con-'
iention is that constitutionally the J
bill originated in the house.
"Nevertheless, if the supreme court
could sustain Judge Hough, the cotton!
trade would be so much upset and din-J
organized, during the period inter-'
vening between the supreme court dc-'
cision and a reconsideration of the
question by congress, that 1 have
deemed it the part of prudence in the
public interest to submit to the congress
the bill for the reenactment or
the statute."
Mr. Lever said the immediate ef-j
feet of the decision was to disturb
prices. The market was steadied,
however, by official announcement
that the act would be considered in
force pending an appeal to the supreme
court. Should congress reenact
the law, Mr. Lever said, the only
issue passed on by Judge Hough remaining
for decision by the supreme
court would be whether the plaintiffs
who paid the government money under
protest in order to test the validity
of the statute were entitled to recover
those taxes.
"There has been every evidence
from cotton producers, spinners, merchants
and the great majority of cotton
exchange members," said Mr.
Lever, "that the law was wise legislation
and has been beneficial to all
of them alike."
Mr. Lever said the bill embodies
no change in substance from the law
as originally enacted.

A Successful Hunt.
Thos. 10. Cooper, hanker and phii-,
anthropist, spent the week-end on his
ranch south of Mullins. He invited
several friends to join him at his cluhj
house, "The Sans Souci." Mr. Cooper I

fishing, and kept the table well supplied.
Mr. Cooper, or "Tom" as we
call him, for we can only think of him
as a home boy, personally bagged
quite a string of partridges. The cook

from his arduous and nerve-racking
labors in the financial world and hike
to his estate on the Tee Dee and mingle
with his friends, sharing with
them such luxurious appointments as
only the well-to-do and thoughful
mind can gather. There are few

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous linings
of the Eustachian Tube. Wnen
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and ftnless the inflammation
can be taken out and this
! tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous sur
faces.

catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls
