Another matter of more than paus?
ing fsstereat Is the sppportlonment of
the Omnajeburg county debt between
the old nnd the new county. This, as
figured sut by the majority of the
< om ission appoiQted by the gover
r to adjuftt matters, is In round
ifnher*. 121 i)00 During the new
< unty tght. the newspspers and of
SsBSrs wf the old county scouted the
Idea that there was any debt. To be
perfectly fair and frank, the leaders
of the new county moved heaven and
earth to show that there was a debt.
It tranaplrrn. however, that the old
county borrowed money In the spring
to host the ship of state until fall and
ft la urged that when the fight for the
new county was won In February.
ItOS. the taaee of 1S07 should have
been spplled to this debt and would
have settled **me In full, leaving a
eleen ?heet when Calhoun county wan
formed. Believing this, some mem?
bers ef the commission were dissatis?
fied with Ills Unding* of the majority
and have rendered a minority report
Messrs, J II LOT yea and T. A. Amak
er. the Calhoun n em beret represent?
ing: that minority, hav. said In sub?
stance that the findings of the ma?
jority as to tb? indebtedness Is exe?
at ve. thst the 14th day of February.

There was also most , mphatlc dls
een: from the manner of distributing
dlspe'i ii) profit*. 'I h. profits for
Apt II. May. June. July. August and
Hepternber amounted to I&.7H1.01. It
hi ? Urged that the mere fast that Cal?
horn count> had no !>oard of control
at that time and Orangeburg whs
forced to supply the new county di
peixiry with whiskey, gave UM oou n -
ly no grounds moral or legal, for
pocketing all the funds.
? i ? ,m <? I? i .bis s.m.s of money have

In Calhoun. TT is further alleged that
It was unjust to base a settlement
upon the sworn statement of offleer?
Instead of producing the books. Last?
ly, it is contended that $16.000 was
borrowed by the old county in the
spring of 1107 for the year's expenses,
and the notes for which fell due on
the last day of December; that these
notes should have been retired by the
funds from taxes as they were col?
lected. Instead, "we find that a large
proportion of the taxes were collected
(ln the months of January. February
and March, and after the maturity of
the notes. If there was not sufficient
money In hand from the collection of
taxes the 1st of January to pay these
notes they should have been paid as
the taxes were received, and not spent
for other items." For these reasons,
"We hereby enter our earnest protest
against such discrimination and Insist
upon a fair and equitable settlement."
IMPROVED MA UK KT FOR RAW
COTTON.
Farmers Union Convention in New Or?
leans Will Consider Important
Matter.
New Orleans, Nov. 5.?The prob?
lems incident to the development of
an Improved market for raw cotton
will receive first attention at the Na?
tional Farmers* Union convention
which la to be held In New Orleans
Nov. 11-12. along with the proposal
to move the headquarters of the Union
to New Orleans. Some progress in
this direction has already been made,
but the interior warehouses and sell?
ing agencies have found that they are
seriously handicapped because they
lack port warehouses and port selling
facilities, hence the importance of this
subject during the New Orleans meet
lag.
President C. 8. Barrett has had
those matters under serious consider
atlon for some time, and has expres
ed much Interest in th a plan for the
construction of a monster storage and
export warehouse in this city which
has been proposed by a prominent
cotton merchant and planter. This
plan provides for maximum efficiency
and minimum cost incident to the re?
ceiving of cotton from the trains and
steamboats, Its sampling, marking
and storage, and when sold, maximum
promptness in delivering the cotton to
the exporter on board the ship along
side the warehouse. The plan con
templates economies by reason of ma
ehinery equipment for handling and
fir? proof construction that will save
the producer hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually on fire Insurance,
probably a million or two a year on
Interest charges, a large amount on
the elimination of country damage,
while at the same time the value of
each and every bale will be increased
one or two dollars because It can be
delivered to the ship on half an hour's
notice and because the spinner can
buy It on the spot and sample In?
stead of by description as Is now gen
raits/ the case.
The warehouse receipt Issued by
such an istltuatlon would be nego
tlable at any bank in Europe or
America and In that way millions of
? I. Il irs In loans could easily be ob?
tained at 4 and & per cent. Interest.
It has been calculated that $5,000,
000 will cover the coat of constructing
such a warehouse, and that on the
savings to the producer the worehouse
RflM more than pay for Itself In two
years.
9$ selling bonds this sum could be
raised and the bonds paid off out ol
the legitimate earning* of the ware?
house.
Another subject of Importance to be
eon*l(l?t?'<l Im that of the night lidSff
evil which has already been condemn?
ed unqualifiedly by President Barrett.
The National Farmers' Union boasts
a membership of over 2.000.000 in
||M cotton belt, and several thousand
delegates are expected to attend the
New Orleans convention next week
Mr. Thomas Watson, of Georgia, one
of the presidential candidates, will be
% special attraction, and the one fare
round trip railroad rate will, It is ex
pected bring many people to the con
vi'Mlon and to the city.
President Philip Verleln, of the
Progressive Union, which will enter?
tain the delegates, promises a good
time for all who come.

GOOD NBAS FOR UNEMPLOYED.
Reported that 650,000 Men nro Soon
To be Given Work.
New York, Nov. 6.?The National
Association of Manufacturers publishes
In the current issue of American In?
dustries, its official magazine, a con?
tinuation of the statements on trade
conditions contributed by its 3,000
members representing every branch of
industry. The first series of these
statements, showing improvement in
commercial conditions, appeared in
the October 15 Issue of the magizlne
The series now published indicates a
continuation of this Improvement and
for the most part an optimistic v'ew
of the business outlook.
Telegrams also were, sent prior 10
the election to a number of associa?
tions' members asking them to state
specifically how many working men
would be added to their present force
by December 1, if nothing occurred to
shake commercial confidence. A re?
sume of the information contained In
these replies is also given by the m: tf
azlne. as follows:
"The percentage of replies r?e.l.-?i
Indicate that an average of 125 ir.cn
each will be added to the majority o!
manufacturing plants In the associa?
tion by December 1. The percentage
show that at least one-half of the 3,
000 members of the National Asso?
ciation of Manufacturers expect io add
to their present force more than 200,
000 working men.
"Taking this as a basis," says the
article, "it Is safe to assume that the
13,000 manufacturers, which, accord?
ing to the census of 1900, employed an
average of 100 men or over, each will
add at least 50 per cent to the present
force, making a total In round figures
of 650,000 men. In other words,
with the continuance of business con?
fidence the important manufacturing
interests of the country will be en?
abled to Increase their present force
by more than a half a million work?
ing men to meet the market demands
for their products.
"In securing this Information Demo?
cratic and Republican manufacturers
alike were addressed. No attempt was
made to limit the canvass to any par?
ticular Industry or to any particular
section of the country, and the queries
sent to manufacturers were based sole?
ly upon actual business conditions and
business possibilities for the future."
The Standard OH paid R. H. Ed?
munds, editor of the Manufacturers'
Record, $3,000 'or one year's sub?
scription to that publication, and
$5,000 for a year's subscription to the
Southern Farm Magazine, owned and
published by the same concern. Un?
der the circumstances, these periodi?
cals must have a very friendly feeling

HOLDING COTTON.
INHERE is a general impressioi pre
* vailing among the producers of the
fleecy staple that it is bound to advance
in price, and this belief is extending, and
being shared in by the general public,
for the reason that the present price of
cotton is below the cost of production.
We have no opinion to express regarding
the future of the market, except to share
in the general hope for better prices,
which in our opinion can only be brought
about by a decided improvement in the
business conditions, not onl? of this
country but Europe as well. We have
a great deal of money still due us, the
collection of which we are not disposed to
enforce on a basis of the present prices
of cotton, if our friends think by holding
they will derive even the slightest bene?
fit, for we share to a liberal extent in
everything that helps the farmer, and
we will cheerfully carry all amounts
now due us on notes maturing March 1st
secured by warehouse receipts for cotton
on a basis of 8 cents per pound to grade
middling or better, but we must insist on
the cotton being put in the warehouse as
quickly as possible, for we cannot rea?
lize on cotton stored cn the plantation,
and no prudent farmer should hold cot?
ton without insuring it, and the ware?
house charges are less than the cost of
insurance at home.
