Co'ttoit Futures Change. Washington, May 13.-Senator Dial charged in the senate today that con gress unintentionally Is in favor of the bears on the cotton market ad that a condition of slavery is yet being per Petrated in the south. "The war," lie said, "freed the colored people, but soon thereafter the whole south be came enslaved iby the custom and then the law of selling cotton, and it seems that 1 am not making much progress in getting these shackles removed." The senator was urging the adoption of his amendment to the cotton futures act. Senator Cial said his amiendlment had been vending before an agricultural sub-committee more thani twelve monthus aid that lie was not asking for sympathy but for justice. He Iuoted figuires from ilie national agriculturalit congress to show that after the cost of raising a crop of cotton there is a balance of $18'2A0t) representing laborl for the entire year for the average ten anlt, his wife and two chilId ren. Thiis is 61 cenltsi per day for three hiindred days or for 2,65 days it is ten cei;t each for the tenant's family of four. lie conitinuted, "we speak of the tvan per laborer of Asia. We have a living example of it right here and the con gress of the tUnited States Is respon -siblie to a great extent for this condi tion of 'overty amtL illiteracy. While wve are here trying to provide means of lending niiney to tihe people of the coutnry yet we are not getting -prccer rettini for ilie produets of their ilabor.", "I charge the con gress-an( I real ize that that is pretty strong lan guage, with being in favor of the bears on the cotton1 market, unintentionally of course, but the disnatrous iesuit to the farmor is the same. The law sim ply amounts to confiscation and I am making every effort in my power to get the agricultural committee of the sell ate to report this amendment. If it should be reported I believe there will 'be little objection on the floor of the senate. If we can get it enacted into law it wouldl help the condition of the laboring people of my section of the country more than an'thing else, or iperhaps everything else"we could do in their beh'alf. These figures are not mine. They are from this report of our own committee and I say they are startling in(eed. It took exactly thirty years for congress to pass the present la w. I trust it 'will not take quite so long to pass my amendment. If the ,sub-comn 2nittve prefers g ot to rcport my amend ment "favorably" I ask that it report something or just send it back. I will cndeavor to take care of it on the floor and( believe, I can do so." E:LECT RICA L .811001K8 TAKE T'iiEE LIVES SSiawridenident of Fasley 'Poier Plant anti Assisinnmt Meet Inistiant Death In usupnjihg Station. O(hvi~Q1lle, May 13.-Clifton D). Bolt, su perintendlent of the Easley Water andh Light plant, and his assistant, A. Cal. Mc.\lhan, were killed by electri ity in some mysterious wa this at ternooni at tihe Easley pumpl station, near~ Easley, these making the third dienth from electricity in Easley to day. The other death was that. of Mliss Ollie Brown of Ghlenwood mill village, who was instantly killed about 2 o'clCk( ,while standing in her r'oom in her* residience when a bolt of lightning lilt the transformier ouitsidec the house. Messrs. IHolt and 3Me.\ahan hadl gone to tihe city pumping stat ion, supplosedl ly to fix something fliat had got wrong wvithm the plant. About three-(tuarters of an hour later a ipasserby saw the bod(ies of the two men andl immedli ately rep~ortedl it to citizenis of Easley, who went out to the scene. The body of 'Mi Bolt wvas lying on the groundl just outside the door of the building while the body of -Mr. Mahan was inside thme building in a corner in a s'itting ,posture iwith a crowv bar in his hand. AlcMahan's body showed bad burns, but there was no mark of volence on Bolt's body, although tihe indications were that he had writhed on tihe ground before dying. The pumlping station is operate d 'by a 300 volt cur rent, and the supposition is thatI LMcMahan first came 4n contact with electricity in sonie way and that Bolt, coming to his rescue, was also elec Itrocu ted. A severe electrical storm passed over this section during the afternoon andl it is thlought that a 'bolt of light 1ning may have been conveyed to the pump house while the men wer'e inl it by one of the wires. An electrician; w'ho arrived on the spot immediate;ly after', wvarned the crowds to stay away from the building, saying it 'was "charged with electricity," and discon tinued the station from the electrie 'lines.
