nearly normal durln the first five
days. On the 6th there was a decided
drop in temperature, and the mean
for the day was about 10 degrees he
low ths normal in the western and
central divisions, and from 3 to 9
degrees below the normal in the east
em division. The temperature rose
slowly during the lsst dsy to nearly
normal. The weekly extremes of
temperature were 88 at Summrville
on Sept. 30, and 51 degrees at Green?
ville on Oct. 1.
The precipitation was very light,
measurable amounts having occurred
only In the eartern division on one
day. Trsce of rain fell on the same
day In the central portions. The ab?
sence of rain waa t favorable as , the
soil contains ample moisture.
The percentage of cloudiness was
low during the fore part of the week
and on the last day. On Frldiy and
Saturday there was considerable
cloudiness In all parts of the State.

COURT Ilocsi, vj ?KS M .uL UK
CUT DOWX.
Much CoiiiMK-iu, on Recent Action of
County Commissioners lit Howard
to Removing Imrge Ouks on the
Court House Ground*.
The Board of County Commission?
ers met In regular session yesterday.
All of the members were present.
Only matters of a routine nature
came up for consideration at this
meeting, but one matter was acted
upon that will probably cause no lit?
tle discussion among the citizens of
the county generally.
This matter was in regard to the
two big oak trees on the Court House
grounds. The improvement of the
grounds, which is now under way, as
most people know, came up for con?
sideration at the meeting and hence
the two fine oaks came in for their
share of discussion.
Messrs. J. I. Brogdon and F. E.
Thomas were in favor of cutting
down these tree3, while Supervisor
Scale contended that the trees should
be left standing to adorn the grounds
and give shade in the hot summer
months. A vote being taken on the
matter, the two members in favor of
cutting down the trees voted to re?
move them, and Supervisor Seale vot?
ed against this action. Therefore, the
large oaka will be cut down, that is
If the action of the board Is carried
out, and it Is very probable that it
will be.
The general opinion of the citizens
as to the matter la not definitely
known now, but, no doubt, some ex?
pressions will be heard soon for and
against this action of the Board of
Commissioners. \
Since the recent meeting of the
County Commissioners, at which
time that body decided that the two
large oak trees in front of the new
Court Houae should be cut down,
much comment has been made In re?
gard to the matter. It will be recall?
ed that thle action on the part of the
commissioners was not unanimous, as
Supervisor Seale voted against the re?
moving of the trees.
From what can bs gathered, the
citizens generally are opposed to the
removal of these handsome oaka. The
ladlea of the Civic League are opposed
to this action, also, and are doing
some commenting.
Why cannot these treea remain
and beautify the grounds? Are they
In the way of business at the Court
House? Are they Injurious to the
bullding? W1H they not be very wel?
come In the summer time *hen shale
is at a premium? Such questions are
being asked and answered.
From all accounts, it would appear
that the action of the Commissioners
does not meet with general approval
and if the treea can possibly be left
standing It would be satisfactory to
the majority of the citizens.
'
Some Apparently Good Reasons arc
Given as to Why These Trees
Should be C ut Down.
The comments heard In regard to
removing the large oak treea from the
Court House grounds, as stated yester?
day, are many and as there are al?
ways two sides to every question, it
might be well to give the views of
those In favor of cutting down these
trees.
In the place, it is said that one of
these trees was Injured some years
ago by a sleet and snow storm and
that many of its limbs are now de?
cayed, which would necessarily cause
the life of the tree to be only a few
years longer. If one were removed
and the other left standing, this
would give the grounds a rather awk?
ward appearance, as can -easily be
seen.
Again, the oak that Is not injured is
in the way of the cement paving that
is being put down. If the paving were
laid around the tree, the growth of
the oak would injure the pavement
after a time and cause great damage
to the walks.
Another reason given for the re?
moval of the trees is the fact that
they cast their shadows over some
very handsome magnolia trees causing
them to be retarded in their growth
and their symmetry. Since the trees
cannot very well be left standing for
the above reasons, then It would be
well to remove them and preserve the
magnolias as ornamental shrubbery.
This is the side of the case from
the standpoint of those who think
best to cut down these oaks and is
given so that the public may know
#vhy some people ut?3 in favor of the
action of the county commissioners.

BITORT MADE TO CUT OUT THE
MIDDLEMEN.
Hilles to be Compressed on the Farms
?Resolution Adopted Against Sirv
ulatlon.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct 8.?That the time
is not far distant when the cotton
planters of the South will sell their
product direct to the spinners of Eu?
rope and America, instead of through
the middleman, in bales gin-com?
pressed at the plantation with meth?
ods in which loss has been reduced
to a minimum, was indicated by to?
day's discussion before the Interna?
tional Conference of Cotton Growers
and Spinners.
Spinners representing hundreds of
mills and mlllionis of spindles told
the planters that they were not only
billing but anxlois to buy their cot?
ton direct uom tue planter, just as
soon as the planter can deliver di?
rect. Big planters and representatives
of the Farmers' union told the spin?
ners of Europe that already they
were organised, had built a chain of
cotton warehouses, had perfected a
business system by which the spinners
could purchase an almost unlimited
supply of cotton, and were ready to
eliminate the antiquated method of
selling throught a middle man,
"But," said Herr Arthur Muffler of
Vienna, "if you planters wish to trade
direct with us you must give us bet?
ter service than the merchant."
Action furthering this condition
took concrete form in the unanimous
adoption by the conference of a reso?
lution presented by the committee on
trade relations between growers and
spinners. This resolution declared
that much of the present difficulty
in handling cotton could he eliminat?
ed if the growers would adopt what
is known as +he warehouse system
and establish selling agents in Europe
and America.
An essential part of this scheme ia
the adoption of a standard type of
contract, classification of cotton by
grade and color alone, the unit to be
50,000 pounds Instead of 100 bales
net weight, and the handling of damp
cotton under uniform rules. These
points were embodied in the resolu?
tions presented by the committe on
transportation, and these also were
unanimously adopted by tlje confer?
ence. Thus two long steps In the great
work of the conference, the ralsfng of
ths standard of cotton delivered to
the spinners, and simpler and more
? y fflomtcal methods of handling, In?
volving a saving, t is asserted, of
something like S25,U"u,uuo. a year
were taken.
The great work of the conference
yet remains to be done. This is final
action on the general subject of
growing and handling cotton. Reso?
lutions bearing on this were presented
at today's session by the committee
to which the subject was referred apd
after somewhat protracted discussion
were ordered printed and will come
up for 'f?rther discussion tomorrow,
with the probabilities that the confer?
ence will devote moat of the final day*3
session to their consideration. The
recommendations of this committee
embodied the following points:
That planters select and save their
seed for the next crop, to insure a
high standard. . \ *>
That freshly picked cotton be hous?
ed from'40 to 60 days before ship?
ment
That planters as fast as possible,
either as individuals or in communi?
ties, adopt gin-compressing and the
Egyptian form of bale. The latter
means, in effect, ginning and com?
pressing on the plantation.
The committee on buying and sell?
ing, to which was referred Congress?
man Hefiin's resolution, which is
against cotton speculation, adopted
the resolution and then referred it to
the subcommittee appointed yestrday,
of which Mr. Heflln is chairman, for
further action. This means that the
subject will be debated on the floor of
the conference.
Spinners and planters alternated to?
day in putting forward their side of
the question of cotton growing and
spinning.
Addresses were made by Thomaj
Coates and William Howarth of Eng?
land, Herr Kuffler of Austria, rep?
resenting the spinners; E. A. Calvin
of Houston, Tex., and T. J. Brooks,
representing the Farmers' union; and
E. D. Smith of South Carolina, who
warmly defended 15 cents cotton.
Samuel T. Hubbard of the New York
cotton exchange and Mark H. Thom?
as of Houston, Tex., defended cotton
exchanges. Speculation, said Mr.
Hubbard. could never be abolished; it
wa-? nature's way of forwarding civil?
ization and the elimination of specu?
lation would reduce the ratio of buy?
ers.
The conference tomorrow will meet
at 9 a. m. and final adjournment will
take place late in the afternoon.

with the European delegation to the
late conference. The object of the
conference was to perfect and as
speedily as possible to agree upon
terms whereby the growers of the
union could deal direct with the Eu?
ropean consumers. It was stafed by
the union's officers that already the
union had arranged to locate an agent
In England; that a central agency had
been established in Memphis and that
this office will not'fy the European
agency of all cotton ready for sale.
Mr. Macalister guaranteed that all
cotton offered would be bought. He
explained, however, that the cotton
offered by the union must conform
with the grades sold, and that the
baling and compressing must be in
accordance with the terms adopted
by the conference. This was agreed

WALL STREET CURSE TO SOUTH.
Mayor Roddey of Rock Hill Formerly
a Broker, Wires Warning to Harvle
Jordan.
Rock Hill, Oct. 8.?It has been cur?
rent gossip on the streets that among
the number going into convention
with the cotton spinners, in Atlanta
today are members of a big stock, ex?
change firm of New York. These men
are neither consumers nor growers
and are just now being looked upon
fas enemies of the cotton planter and
consequently it is causing speculation
as to why they are in the convention,
or at least with the members.
Mayor Roddey of this city, who is
now a cotton buyer, but who was for?
merly a broker in New York, is much
interested in the way the exchanges
are working the Southern farmer, for
he knows the ins and outs of "the
street." Yesterday morning he sent
the following telegram:

Washington, Oct. 11.?A hopeless
failure to agree upon a plan for rail?

marked today's closing deliberations

convention. The only point upon
which there was harmony was the
objection to Roosevelt's plan of entire

of a conference, It is apparent today
that the attorneys for the Stale in
the trial of Fred Magill and his
bride, F?yne Graham Magill, for con?
spiracy to remove Maglll'p first wife,
will abandon the attempt to

A REAL CHI CCS c OMIXC.
Curl IlMKonlxH'k ?: Wallace Uro?, to
ITtSsl Sumter XoveSttbCV 1.
The Carl < Hagembeck & Great Wal?
lace Shows Combined, is being ad
veitised to appear here in Sumter, S.
C, on Nov% 1.,
"Circus day" is so universally wel?
comed by the average being called
human that it has come to be treated
as a holiday in whatsoever place a big
show pitches its tent.
This city is not immune from the
circus fever, and especially when the
popular Carl Hagenbeck & Great
Wallace Circus, visits here in which
event the keys of the city are practi?
cally turned over to the show. With?
out -asting any reflection upon the
merits of other shows, it can be said
the Hagenteck & Wallace always give
the very best of satisfaction. The lib
beral applause given almost continu?
ously during its performaces eclipsed
the J?pplaL->e ever eiven any other cir?
cus. The Hagenbeck & Wallace
Shows is truly great, and judging
from the comments of the press this
year, greater than ever.
A fw days more and this big circus
will have arrived on its special trains,
and its city of white tents will spring
up as if by magic. Its magnificent
street parade will traverse the prin?
cipal streets of the city, the gallop- {
ing music ot its sveral bands and cal?
liope will be heard, and the children,
youth and other people will spend
the day with their circus friends.
Among the big acts to be seen with
the Hagenbeck & Great Wallace Cir?
cus this year are the Les Rowlandes,
Imported Riders; Matsumoto's, an?
other novelty from abroad; Miaco's
clever and artistic. The Tasmanlans*
unapproachable Statuesque Repro?
ductions; Roda Royals' Equlnes; Mil
He Ginnett; and a big ensemble of
feature circus novelties.
It Is gnerally conceded by all ex?
perienced amusement caterers that It
is a very difficult matter to procure
really new circus acts. One trouble 1
Is thei: scarcity, and another la their
cost.
The newness, the novelty of an act,
soon wears off, so that even the most
sensational and original act of today
will be an old and out of date trick
three years hence. The originators
and performers concerned with eacti
new a traction are aware of this con?
dition of the amusement market, and
knowing that they must make hay
while the sun shines, as their act will
jhe ob* lets in a few y<.ars, they will
de.man vry high salaries.
To ltsidc-r*. ths salary may seem
exorbi nt. bat the progressiv? circus
man j : ra sich a- Hagenbeck & Wal?
lace, long ago learned to pay the high
salaries. They know that if they
I
j must have the greatest circus on
earth they must pay the freight
As an illustration of this condition
we may refer- to the Les Rowlandes,
who will be seen this season with the
Hagnheck & Wallace Shows. They
have originated an act that for novel?
ty, daring and originality is unequal?
led. They do not know what it Is to
fear, and they could not be awkward
in their work if they wanted to be so.
The Les Rowlandes Include four
women and three men. They appear
in gorgeous costumes, and immediate?
ly get busy, and in a very few seconds
the circus patrons are amazed and
spellbound by the truly phenomenal
work of these remarkable performers.
The act of Les Rowlandes for which
Hagenbeck & Wallace pay an exceed?
ingly extravagant price, Is the really
original and only one of its kind to
be seen throughout the wide world
today, but In the course of a couple
of years there will be many Imitators, '
and the novelty may have worn off,
although It seems as If one w>uld nev?
er tire of seeing the act presented by
the original Les Rowlandes.

original feautres will exhibit in Sum?
