Sooth Carolina Newe.
Columbia, S. C., January 20.—It la
itated on good authority that the dlu-
penaary law will be taken before the
federal aupreme court next week. It
baa not yet been definitely decided how
the matter will be brought to the at
tention of the court, bui the under
standing now seems to be that it will
be thrdugh a writ of error, and if such
be possible it will be upon the feature
of the law which forbids the introduc
tion of liquor into the state except with
the certificates of the commissioner.
It is held that this feature of the law
is generaliy considered unconstitution
al and that it will give the best grounds
for the writ to the supreme court, it
is stated that the case will be present
ed by Messrs. Cleft & Chaffee, on the
part of the city of Aiken, and Messrs.
Douglass Jt O’liear, who have recently
been employed to look after the case
by Mayor Dargan, of Darlington.
The state authorities have been look
ing for such an attack on the law for
some time, and seem to appreciate the
fact that this is about the most vulner
able feature of the act, especially as it
bears upon the federal inter-state laws.
COTTON FACTORY AT LAURENS.
SOUTH THE INVITING FIELD.
fresldeat Loverlng Faces the Situation
and Speaks of Southern Advantages.
Uai.timobk, January tfl. —Mr. Wm. C.
Lovering, president of the Arkwright
club, which represents all of the large
New England textile manufacturers,
was invited some months ago, after re
turning from a visit of investigation to
the south, to deliver an address before
the New England Textile club on cot
ton manufacturing in the south. This
address, which has never before been
made public, is given out today, and
will be published in this week’s issue
of the Manufacturer's Record. In this
address, which is a very full and com
prehensive study of the whole subject,
Mr. Lovering says:
"The time has passed when New England
manufacturers need to give but little attention
to cotton manufacturing In the aouth. We
hare come to realize that the aouth has enter
ed the race In earnest and to stay. Henceforth
It must be the survival of the fittest The old
mills In the south, with their antiquated ma
chinery. have been euoceeded by nrst class
mills with the best equipment, and we find
mills In the south today that will compare fav
orably with our New England mills,.bunt in
every respect to do their work In the cheapest
and most Improved manner. While it has long
been conceded that In certain lines of coarse
goods the advantages are In favor of the south,
northern manufacturers have comforted them
selves with the statement that the manufac
ture of the finest goods would remain with
them, and that the south could not make such
goods. In this we are mistaken. There is an
actual Increase in the production of liner goods
in the south, and where manufacturing is once
ti rmly established. It is only a matter of n short
time when tho labor employer! will Improve
In skill and adapt itself to the finer work.
There scetqp to be no reason why as fine yarns
may not be spun In the south as In any other
section of our country."

I'resldent Hector D. Lane Writes of tho
European Cotton Spoculatorse
Nkw Orleans, January 80.—Hon.
Hector D. Lane, of Alabama, president
of the American cotton growers pro
tective association, has furnished the
following significant memorandum for
publication to the people of the south:
European speculators are today selling cot
ton In Liverpool for delivery in October, No
vember, December, 1895, at a price equivalent
to about four cents on farms in the south for
middling or five cents at the ports. Believing
that another 0.5OO.OGO or larger crop will be
grown in America, which would insure them a
a profit of at least one cent per pound, which
would mean to the farmer about three cents at
the railroad stations next autumn when cotton
is moving in large volumes It is not to be
supposed that these shrewd European cotton
people are aggressively selling the next crop at
equal to four cents unless they have excellent
reasons for believing that the south will plant
for another monster crop.
They are confident-on information furnished
them that Texas will not decrease its acreage
therefore, believing this to be true to such an
extent that they will be able to pay back dur
ing next fall the cotton they are now selling at
much lower prices realizing thereby handsome
profits.
It remains with tho farmers and merchants
of the south to say whether these European
speculators will be permitted to reap a golden
harvest at the expense of the farms, planta
tions, towns, real estate and securities of the
south.
The above statement is from me officially
and I desire that it should be presented to
public as such through the press. i *

The Tradesman, in its report on the in

That Its Informal ion from all tho important
lumber points in the southern states Indicates
that the revival In the lumber Industry Is now

are firm and an early advance Is probable
owing to light stocks on hand and to the stead
ily increasing demand. Coal Is quiet, with a
continued large output, and with no accumula

Washington, January 29.—President
Cleveland transmitted to congress yes
terday a special message on the finan
cial question urging the immediate ac
tion of congress, and on lines specified:
In the opening paragraph the presi
dent says;
In my last annual message. I recommended
to the serious consideration of the congress the
condition of our national finances, and in con
nection with the subject indorsed the plan of
currency legislation which, at that time, seem
ed to furnish protection against impending
danger. The plan has not been approved by the
congress. In the meantime the situation has
so changed and the emergency now appears so
threatening, that I deem it my duty to ask at
hands of the legislative branch of the govern
ment such prompt and effective action as will
restore confidence in our financial soundness
and avert business diaster and universal dis
tress among our people.
In am now convinced that it* rejection by
congress and our present advanced stage of
financial perplexity, nedlssitates additional or
different legislation.
Lack of Confidence the Trouble.
After reviewing 1 our ( ’natural resour
ces, unlimited in variety and product
ive strength,” the message continued:
The real trouble which confronts us consists
in a lack of confidence, widespread and con
stantly increasing, in the continuing ability or
disposition of the government to pay its obli
gations in gold. This lack of confidence grows
to some extent out of the palpable and appa
rent embarrassment attending the efforts of I
the government under existiug laws to pro
cure gold and to a greater extent out of the
impossibility of either, keeping it in the treas
ury or cancelling obligations by its expendi
tures after it is obtained.
The only way left open to the government
for procuring gold is by the issue and sale of
bonds.
An adequate gold reserve is, in all circum
stances, absolutely essential to the upholding
of our public credit, and to the maintenance of
our high national character. Our gold reserve
has reached such a state of diminution as to
require its speedy enforcement.
After giving statistics of the money
now in the treasury, not in gold,
“therefore, does not meet our difficul
ty,” the president says that silver is not
the issue, and adds:
Whatever ideas may be insisted upon as to
silver or bimetalism, the proper solution of the
question now pressing upon us only requires a
recognition of gold as well as silver and a con
cession of its importance, rightfully or wrong
fully acquired, as a basis of national credit, a
necessity of an honorable discharge of our ob
ligations payable in gold and a badge of sol
vency.
What the President Urges.
He further reviews the demands made
by the friends of silver and claims that
he is not unfriendly to the white metal
but is not willing to see gold entirely
abolished from our currency and
finances. The message reads:
In my opinion the secretary of the treasury
should be authorized to issue bonds of the
government for the purpose of procuring and
maintaining a sufficient gold reserve and for
the redemption and cancellation of the United
States legal tender notes and the treasury
notes issued for the purchase of silver under
the law of June 14th, 1890.
The principal and interest of these bonds
should be payable on their face in gold, be
cause they should be sold only for gold or its
representative, and because there would now
be difficulty in favorably disposing of bonds
not containing this stipulation.
I suggest that the bonds be issued in denom
inations of twenty and fifty dollars, and their
multiplies, and that they bear interest at a
rate not exceeding 9 per cent per annum. I do
not see why they should not be payable fifty
years from date.
The president concludes his message
with an avowel of reluctance to issuing
more bonds in present circumsatnces,
but believes it necessary to a checking
of a suspicion of our disinclination or
disability to meet every national obli
gation.

Brooklyn, N. Y., January 80.- The
strike continues and grows more per
plexed. Only once yesterday were the
troops called out. At about 3 p. m., a
gang of men placed a wagon on the
track of the Fifth avenue line at Twen
ty-first street and mobbed the crew of
the first car which arrived. The po
liceman on the front platform of the
car was powerless. He whistled for
help, however, and another officer noti
fied the Twenty-third regiment, at the
stables of the line at Twenty-third
street. The militiamen rushed to the
rescue at double quick. Tile mob scat
tered in all directions. Lewis Grim,
one of the men in the crowd attempted
to remove the lever used by the motor-
man to turn on the current and was ar
rested.

loose. He had a body guard of detect
ives about his person aud President
Norton never moves without an armed
guard at his side.
The strikers are playing a double
game. Through counsel they have ap
pealed to the attorney general to move
against the Brooklyn Heights company
to revoke the charter for failing to op
erate the road. Through the agency
of lawless mobs they have continued
cutting wires, assaulting non-union'em
ployes, blocking tracks and otherwise
preventing the cars from operating.
