' v, Miiis Chen Why Such Oitieinl Would be Useful. Columbia, .May 7.?A movement that has, the endorsement of many of the ludiciary of a large number of those Interested in the meting out of justice nd of th< Bar, to some extent, Is that -inking to the employment of assis tant, solicitors to aid in the securing oL evtdenco In criminal cases. In u mcusure the entire detail work of the fieeurlng of evidence could thus be shifted and good results obtained, it Is thought. In recent years in this U 'e there hnvo been many Import itid criminal cases, where the solici ts have been at a loss as to how to handle the work of the Court room and at the same time gather evidence ,i other cases. 'n many instances detectives have ? a employed. This method was fol uv/ed by Govornor Ansel in a number tnportnnl cases of alleged murder. A lawyer visiting here today nd I'llllCCd tb<? following ideas along this lilu-: There ought to be an assistant to a h of the circuit solicitors in this State. "Such a man would be of valuable service to the solicitor in the prose cution of the various cases, and es l>o inlly in murder cases, the assist it . being a young attorney, whom the H i icitor could direct in his work, and ?i doubt could he s cured at a small salary. He could handle the dlsd?. meanor cases, which now have to be attended to by the solicitor. Much valuable time, which jthe solicitor has to take with these small cases, could j then be given to the larger ones, i "The strongest reason why there j should be an assistant is, that very ; often the State in the trial of felonies is unable to produce the proper evi dence, which, no doubt, they could ob tain if there was an assistant, who visited the scene and the community in which the crime had been commit ted and obtain witnesses who are un willing to testify at the trial and very often flee to keep from giving materi al facts as to the crime. The attorneys for the defence make it their business; j from the time a case is placed in their hands to get every one who knows j anything at all about the offense, I [whether an eye-witness or not. Why should not the State get to work at once? Then too. very often a party who would be of valuable assistance to the solicitor in the prosecution of the case is a witness for the other side. , and is kept from testifying at all. Very , frequently the testimony at the coro ner's Inquest is roughly taken, wit nesses are poorly examined and few at the best. On this account the State loses valuable information as to the guilt of tlie party, and the testimony given on the day of the trial is at va , rlance with that taken by the coroner. "The assistant solicitor could at tend the Inquest and examine the wit nesses on behalf of the state, ami be gin at once to work up testimony for the prosecution and very often pro cure aflldavits which would be of much ? value and which afterwards are not able to be obtained, the person having sympathized with the defendant or ; having been approached by his coun sel. It is an easy matter lor the State to obtain many important facts on the eve of a killing, as the sentiment is With the deceased, but afterwards it is a difficult task, for the public sym pathy shifts to the man in trouble.

New Orleans, May 7.?The cotton market this week will continue to be much of a weather affair, and in many important sections of the belt the crop will be at a critical point. Should more rain fall and further delay plant ing it is probable that a considerable area will be withdrawn from cotton and planted In other crops. Rains this week would probably have an imme diate and marked bullish effect on the market. The dispute bet ween the i two factions in the market from now Oil until the government's figures on acreage are known will be over the amount of land replanted, the amount of land thrown out of cotton through fear of the boll weevil and the amount of land taken from other crops and put into cotton. Iteplanling Necessnry. It is known that replanting is nec essary in every state in th'J belt, but the bears claim that the area has been 'greatly exaggerated. In Mississippi land Arkansas: those planters who ox i perlence unfavorable conditions this week will probably prefer to go into other crops because a late planted cotton crop is peculiarly liable to damage from the boll weevil. Anl reports indicating any such shifting of crops will be considered of impor tance around the ring. The Hears' Claims, It has been Claimed by th ! bears that the recent stormy weather did much damage to crops other than cotton, and that considerable land will be taken of otln-r crops and put under cotton. Hcports from Manchester Will ho watched for. The Kngli-h trade situation has been the mainstay of the hull sub for :. long lime, bulls are hoping to see even greater pros perity in Lancashire, it goes without saying that the bears would be oil COUraged into attack on the old crop position on the slightest signs of any slackening of trade in ICiiglnnd, there fore the situation across the water is of the highest importance in relation j to old crop, and may also be or im portance before long in relation of October.
