Washington, Jan. 11.?Jealousies
between the agricultural colleges, ex?
periment stations and scientists oth?
erwise attached on tie one hand, and
the department of agriculture on the
other have come to the attention of
the House commttteo on agriculture
eo forcibly during ths hearings being
held on the agricultural appropriation
till that Its effects will In all probabili?
ty be left In no uncertain way on the
finished bill.
At the beginning of the hearing
Secretary Wilson, of the department
of agriculture, called the attention of
the committee to the difficulties the
department was making as a result
of the jealousies of outside scientists.
"We have an association that Is
known as The Association of Ameri?
ca a Agricultural Colleges and Exper?
iment Stations," explained the Secre?
tary* 'There are a few of those men
who are perpetually Jealous of what
we sre doing. To Illustrate this very
point, they are always raising com?
mittees to come and tell us what they
nk we ought to do and how much
the work ought to be left to them
no."
Saturday the excutlve committee
the same association referred to by
Votary Wilson had Its Inning.
Among those present was Dr. H. C.
White, of Athens, Oa.
The commltteemen said. In sub?
stance, that the value of the soil
surveys of the bureau of soils of the
department of agriculture, a work ov
itr which there has been dispute to
Congress, was "grosslly exaggerated/'
not alone by farmers, but by officials
of the department Itself.
Furthermore. Dr. Alonso D. Melvln,
chief of the bureau of animal Indus?
try, has Informed the committee, that
owing to the attitude of local officials
la North Georgia and the cattle own?
ers there, he would probably be com?
pelled to abandon the campaign
hgalnst the cattle tick In that state.
When questioned concerning the
opposition, he said the antagonism
aro?e out of political reasons. "Much
of the opposition," explained Dr. Mel?
vln. '"came from poor people who
bad hut one or two cows and did not
s ent to bo bothered by having to keep
?hem confined. They wanted them to
run on the commons, and rather than
have opposition, the authorities fail?
ed to enforce their own ordinances.

The South Carolina Cotton Manu?
facturers' Association held Its mid?
winter meeting here yesterday. The
attendance was very satisfactory and
all expressed themselves as being very
much pleased with the visit to Char?
leston. The Cotton Manufacturers'
Association holds two meetings each
year, one in upper Carolina or In
North Carolina and the mid-winter
meeting either in Columbia or Char?
leston. The meetings of the represen?
tatives of the cotton mills are regard?
ed as very helpful to the Industry. At
the business sessions various econom?
ic questions are discussed and agreed
upon. The Association, which includ?
ed practically all the cotton mills in
the State, has done a great work In
bringing about a better feeling among
those at the head of an Industry in?
volving a hundred million of dollars
In this State. The Association has
prospered under the presidency of
Capt Ellison A. Smyth, and he has
been at the head of the organization
since its inception.
Yesterday the cotton mill men did
not have many serious problems to
deal with, such as labor, coal sup?
plies and the like, which have been
given serious consideration at previous
meetings. At yesterday's meeting va?
rious reports from standing commu?
tes were received and acted upon. The
matter of disposing of the waste of
the mills was considered. The mills
find that they are getting a somewhat
better price for their waste. Mr.
Forester, the traffic manager of the
association, reported on his work, and
that he had secured certain desirable
concessions of rthe mills of the State.
The most Important action of the
representatives of the cotton mills
was the attitude towards compulsory
education and what Is popularly
known as "child labor." In effect the
Association went on record as saying
that If a compulsory education Act
were enacted the mills would be
agreeable to fixing the minimum age
limit at 14 years. At present the law
Is that, except In certain cases, no
child under 12 should work In a mill.
The Cotton Association Is so Insistent
upon a compulsory education law that
It says pass and enforce a compulsory
education law, and then, but not until
then, raise the age limit to 14 years.
President Ellison A. Smyth, In talk?
ing about the action of the Associa?
tion, said that the view was that the
very best and most effective child la?
bor legislation would be a compul?
sory education statute.
In substance the action of the Asso?
ciation was that the Association re?
news Its recommendation to the Legis?
lature that there be passed a general
compulsory education law, requiring
the compulsory education of children
under 14 years of age.
Also that If the -e be passed such
compulsory education law this Asso?
ciation feels that there Is no objec?
tion to advancing under proper limita?
tions and restrictions the age limit of
children working In textile mills and
other Industries to an age to comply
with the general compulsory educa?
tion law -as passed.
That this Association also renew
Its strong and urgent recommendation
to the Legislature that a luw be pass?
ed In the State requiring the registra?
tion of births and marriage certifi?
cates.
The past year has been a pretty
rough one on the cotton mills of the
country at large. The after effects of
the panic ware seriously felt by the
cotton fabric Industry. The damand
for cotton goods was not lively, and
this affected the price. Many mills
ran on short time in that way to cur
I all the production and thereby get
better prices, but even that had no
material effect, and the mills pulled
along hoping for bettor times, and
about making ends meet. The gen?
eral feeling among the mill men here
yesterday was that tbSri ll a healthier
tone and demand for cotton goOdSi
and with a better demand for goods,
better prices will follow. The manu?
facturer feel that they are over the
worst, and that If the demand con?
tinues that they ought soon be able to
make a respeetable mnrgln of profits.
H iid times cannot continue, the feel,

Attorney General, in His Report,
MalWf Sercrol Uerommendatlonsoi
Interest und Discusses Cases in Fed?
eral Court Against Dispensary Com?
missioner*.
Columbia, Jan. 10.?In his annual
report to the Legislature convening on
Tuesday, Attorney General Lyon will
recommend a decided change In the
law effecting Injunctions agaist blind
tigers In Charleston and throughout
the State. Says the report:
"I recommend the passage of an
Act to expedite the service of the or?
ders of court In Injunction proceed?
ings against public nuisances. It is
often difficult to make service upon
the owner of the property of the or?
ders of the court and to enjoin the
unlawful use of the property after the
fact Is established that a public nuis?
ance is maintained thereon. It Is my
opinion that the proposed Ast should
provide that service of a certified copy
of the order of the court shall be
sufficient service of such order for all
purpose whatsoever and that service
upon the agent of the owner, or the
party in possession of, or occupant of
the premises shall be sufficient. I
also recommend that such Act con?
tain a provision enabling circuit
Judges to grant such injunctions, either
within or without the circuit in which
such nuisance Is maintained, and upon
an issue of fact arising in such pro?
ceeding, to have authority to refer the
same to a referee or master in any
county In the State to take testimony
and report thereon, I also recommend
that a law be enacted declaring the
unlawful traffic In alcoholic liquors
to be a public nuisance.
I recommend the enactment of laws
embodying the above ideas In order
that Illicit liquor traffic in this State
:.iay be more expeditiously and fully
suppressed. *
The attorney general's annual digest
of tue criminal statistics of the State,
mad. up from the detailed reports of
the circuit solicitors, will be of Inter?
est as usual, but this section of the
report, though it Is In the hands of
the printer, Is not yet available for
publication*
The following recommendation,
which the report carries in Its Intro?
duction, Is of interest to the lawyers
<>f the State:
"I recommend that a law be enacted
providing for costs and fees In the
original jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court. No provision Is made for the
taxation thereof, nor for the payment
of the necessary disbursements In
proceedings in the original jurisdiction
of that court. In such litigation where
the State was a party to the proceed?
ing, this office has borne its own ex?
penses when In many of the cases it
would have been Just and proper for
nuch expenses to have been paid by
other parties to the proceedings. I,
therefore, recommend that an Act be
passed which will authorize the Su?
preme Court, by rule, or otherwise, to
prescribe such costs and fees to be al?
lowed in proceedings In the original
Jurisdiction of that Court as the Jus?
tices of the Supreme Court may deem
Just and proper."
Regarding the cases in the Federal
Court against the dispensary commis?
sioners, Mr. Lyon In his report says:
"This was a proceeding instituted by
the above named appellees in the Cir?
cuit Court of the United States for th
purpose of having the funds in th
hands of the State dispensary com?
mission declared a trust fund, and t
have the same administered by th
Federal Court. The State dlspensarj
commission, as authorized by the
under which they were appointed t
employ counsel to aid them in thei
Investigation, to advise and defen
them in the exercise of the power en
trusted to them by such Act, with th
approval 0/ this office, employed
Hon. W. F. Stevenson, of Cheraw
Messrs. Abney & Muller, of Columbh
and Messrs. Felder, Rountree & Wll
?Otti of Atlanta to resist said suit. Th
circuit judge decided that this was
suit against the State; that the as
sets of the dispensary were a tru
fund, and that the same could be ad
ministered under orders of the Fed
erg] Court, Jurisdiction being acqui
ed by reason of diversity of cltlz
ship. An appeal was taken from th
Order Of Circuit Judge Pritchard t
the United states courts of App
for the 4th circuit. After hear
this Court affirmed the decision of
Circuit Court. Thereafter a petltlo
for certorarl was Sled in the Bupre
Court of the United States, and o
the Ith day <?f December, 1908, a
order was granted by the Bupn
Court of the United States dlreeti
the Circuit Court of Appeals to ce
fy the record In this ease for revle
Tin? iSrd day of February, 1909,
been fixed by thS Supreme Court for
hearing, This proceeding is, in efft
an appeal from the circuit court
Appeals, and will review the who
case.
' In connection with this cast-,
wish to report that a small part on
of the fund heretofore approprlat
for the purpose of prosecuting certa
persons on account of transactlo
connected with the State dispensary
lies been used up to this time. The
work of theState dispensary commis?
sion and of tliis office in connection
u-ith the winding up of the disepnsary
affairs, the investigation thereof, and
the discovery and prosecution of per?
sons believed to be guilty of criminal
acts in their dealings with the former
State dispensary have been seriously
and most injuriously hindered and de?
layed by the action of the United States
Circuit Court in assuming to take
charge of this part of the affairs of
the State government. The grounds
of objection to the Jurisdiction of the
Circurt Court presented to, and now
before the Supreme Court for deter?
mination, are of great weight, and in
which we have a very strong confi?
dence. Should the Supreme Court sus?
tain them and hold that the action of
the Circuit Court of the United States
in this respect is a usurpation of thl
authority of the State conferred up< n
Its commission and an attempt to
control and administer the State'?
funds, and that the Court is without
Jurisdiction, then this offlce, together
with the State dispensary commission
will be enabled to proceed with the
plans already determined upon to
finish Investigating the affairs of the
State dispensary.
Insurance Commissioner McMaster
is having prepared for introduction
early in the present session of the
Legislature a lengthy insurance bill
covering some sixty typewritten pages,
codifying and amending the present
insurance laws of the State, making
additions to cover Investment com?

important features from the North
Carolina, Massachusetts, Colorado In?

the best features from the Insurance
laws of those States, recognized to be
in the forefront, to give this 8tate the
very best Insurance laws in the coun?

North Carolina and Masachusetts than
from any other State, though he hopes
to improve on both these.

Many interesting experiences have
been related by those who have com?

they cannot carry the practice into
business. Others say they can. The
test also has brought out a host oi
critics, some praising, others con?

for its continuance. The scoffers sar?

past hypocrisy.
Discussions are rife in homes, in

as to what Jesus would do under all
manner of circumstances and what bit
attitude would be toward the common
forms of amusement and human en?
deavor. Most of the arguments cen?

on either side.

"IMPEACHMENT" TALK HEARD.
Breach Between the President And
Congress Widens?President's At?
tack on Tlllman Called Wanton As?
sault.
Senator Foraker, of Ohio, was sche?
duled to speak tomorrow in connec?
tion with the use of private detectives
in the Bronwsville matter, but has
postponed his remarks until Tuesday.
This speech will be one of the most
striking Senator Foraker has ever de?
livered. It will be about 12,000 words
lo gm It is known that Senator For?
aker will make some sensational dis?
closures In connection with the presi?
dent's authorization of the use of prl
vate detectives, and it is understood
that the senate will be told that this
was done in violation of law, while
they were paid in violation of the con?
stitution of the United States. The
effect of Mr. Foraker's speech, and
the two Investigations which are now
being made into secret service work
by committees in each branch of con?
gress, will be followed with a great
deal of interest.
The disclosures of the past three
days and those that are to come dur?
ing the present week are certain to
still further estrange congress and the
president. Congress is now on its
mettle Jind leaders In both branches
are proceeding with a determination
which Is eliciting speculation as to
where it will end.
No longer is there heard any ex?
pression of belief that congress
"fears" the president or thtit it will
"lay down" in its present contest with
the executive. Just how serious it
will all be In the end is difficult to an?
ticipate. Since the holidays the word
"impeachment" has been often used.
Men who would have resented the
suggestion a month ago are now ask?
ing, ''will the president be impeach?
ed?" Less than two months of the
Roosevelt administration remain, and
the question is whether it will be
worth while to make such a serious
fight. There are men of character In
congress who declare that there are
sufficient grounds for warranting the
institution of proceedings against the
president, but proceedings of this
character occupy a great deal of time,
and if instituted could probably not
be completed before the fourth of
March. Whether they could be con?
tinued after the term of Mr. Roose?
velt's administration has expired is
another interesting constitutional
question that has been discussed in
the gossip around the capitol.
Many expressions of dissatisfaction
are heard because of the manner in
which the president made public the
material gathered by postoffice Inspec?
tors about Senator Tlllman. It is
pointed out by senators that the mat?
ter sent to Senator Hale was not in
response to Mr. Hale's request to the
heads of the executive departments
for a Statemnt of the operations of the
teeret service, as the Investigation of
Senator Tillman's alleged effort to Ob?
tain Oregon lands was wholly under
the postoffice department and was
prosecuted by the Inspectors of tha*
department.
One senate leader was heard to ex?
press the opinion that as the president
had had In his possession for several
months the information gathered
about Senator Tlllman, It was his duty
to institute a prosecution if he be?
lieved the facts warranted action in
the courts.?Baltimore Sun.?Jan. !<?.

TILLMAN MAKES REPLY.
Washington, Jan. 12.?Senator Till?

statement given out by Attorney Gen?

declaring that the difference btween.

in regard to the Oregon land grant*
and the explanation given by Mr. Bon?

Senator Tillman asserted that he Is

otT the Attorney General as to what la>
said at that time. He declared that
he told Mr. Bonaparte that he desired
to secure some of the land for himself,
if possible. He said that It was tin
public duty to attempt to secure a
cancellation of the land patents, If
possible, his private right thereafter to
secure some of the land, If he choose.
Senator Tillman s statement con?
cludes:
"If the Attorney General Is ready to
