Columbia. Feb. 24.?The prop* assessments will not be increased South Carolina this year und propt will be returned at It* assessment laot year and not its true value. 'I announcement 1? from *hc office Comptroller Qeneral Jonr-s v ho ? that sufficient money san be rnl on last year's assessments to def the expenses of the State Govern? ment with the 5 3-4 mills levy and by the Indirect taxation provided for as usual. As 1910 is the yea- for re? assessment of property the order sent out to county auditors and boards of assessors 1? of much significance at this time. The property valuation last year was about $271.000.000 for this State, and It can easily be figured that a S 3-4 mill levy will raise the necessary funds to run the State dur? ing the present year. Comptroller .U?nes says, in his in? structions to county auditors and boards assessors. "in obedience to Section 2 article 10. of the State Constitution, which directs that the General Assembly shall provlib- for an annual tax suffi? cient to defray the estimated expenses of the State for each year.' the Gen? eral Assembly has fixed the levy for State mirposes at 5 3-4 mills on the dollar. 11 raise the amount of appro? priations for the current year; the t mill school tax fixed by thi Con? secution, and the county levies are fixed by ths Legislature to raise the necessary expends for county purpos? es. From the rate levied for State a cd county purposes, It Is SMsUf that th* Legislature did not Intend tin property of the State to be assessed at its true value, for the levy made If applied to such valuation of proper? ty, would realise much more tnai the amount sufficient or contemplated for dtate, school or county purposes.

Main street and our hotel facilities ^re a reflection on the city. An Item representative has waited Upon a large number of the Sumter business men and secured an expres? sion from them as to what they thought of paving Main street. Now, there should be no question on the part of any one as to the need. A day like y steiday made it appar? ent to every one who had occasion to use our main thoroughfare, that something should be done. None of the details as to cost, and material were gone Into, but the ques? tion was asked as a general propor? tion, "What (b> you think of paving Main street?" it was explained that this might necessitate increase in tax i on, With that understanding the business men interviewed expressed themselves as follows: Mr. J. H. Levy says: "I am heartily In favor of the proposition, and think Main street should be paved. The .audition of our main thoroughfare Il discreditable to any well regulated city, Draft and buggy horses are be? ing injured dally on Main street. II It Is to remain in its pi t se nt condition. I am in favor of changing the name i > boleiy' street." Mr. W. Q, BtUbbl was emphatic in favoring the improvement. He said: "I 'im perfecetly willing to bond the town to ppve our streets. I am un alterably opposed to patching. Have been advocating public improvement* for years." Mr. Net!] O'Donnell expressed him? self as heartily In favor of the pacing scheme. in a nut-sheh he sail: favor a bond issue for public Im? provements, and see no greater neces? sity than properly paving our Streets." Mr. Cuttlno, of Cuttlno & McKnlghl thinks Main street should be paved by all means and favors a bond issue to do it. He is opposed to patching Mr. Q, A. Lemmon thinks Main ?ti mould be paved just as soon as Is?the sooner the better. \ S. Klngsmore favors paving \ trifled brick. Mr, Dorn is thinking of gettirg an airship or a boat, but thinks thi* v:'dl be unnecessary with a properly paved Main street. Mr. S. Cherry says: "I favor it, if it does not increase taxes too much." Mr. J, A. Seals thirks the paving could be done with a reasonable in? crease In taxes, and that it shoul 1 be done. Mr. A. L, Jackson, Of the Hotel Sumter says: "I favor public Improve nents of all kinds, especially o." the trte*s. I have been embarrassed time and again by the criticism of our main thoroughfare by strangers. C,i\e US a paved Main street by all means. Magistrate H. Harby expresses himself th;.s: "Main str?-et should be paved with vitrified brick, or what? ever Is best. Th< best Is not too good for Sumter."

Mr. B. C, Wallace thinks taxes are Igtl enough, and Q9 a matter of tax? ation ii will lie' impracticable. Mr. K. K.

SPIVINEHS FIGHT ADVANCE Prices of Cotton Have Advanced Somewhat on Buying <>f Those Afraid of Being Caught. Now York, Feb. 25.?Though lat? terly pric a have advanced on heavy buying of March and May by big spot Interest! end large purchases %cy Liv? erpool straddlers afraid of a squeeze In the May option, quotations in the forepart of the week were depressed. Trade was reported dull at Blich cen? tres as Fall River, Provldenc . Bos? ton, Charlotte, N. C, Philadelphia, and Manchester, Eng. Spinners have continued to fight the mvarket, either by curtailment or by buying, in the most sparing way possible. Their own customers ?ro buying cotton goods In the same scanty fashion. Added to this, speculation received a blow many woks age from which it has not recovered. A few big men and some professional traders have been buying more or leas at times, but the general public seem to hive had enough of cotton for the i le being, as well as of stocks and . ain. Speculation is everywhere in abeyance. Cotton ore es for the rest of the season, it is In lleved, v 111 ho determined by the operation of supply a'id demand. Speculation seems powerless to bring about permanent changes one way or tli" other. A recent decline, however, of 100 to 12? points seemed to call for at lea c a temporary rally, and within the last f ?w days it has come. Some of th? big dry goods concerns of the country are predicting an ex? cellent trade. Heavy liquidation In Liverpool has cleared the atmosph.w there, and the strength of the English quotations has latterly surprised many people here. Meantime, a large short interest had g own up In New York, Liverpool, and New Orleans. Powerful traders have latterly been exploiting this bear interest. Bear had grown ovor confident. Continen? tal people have been heavy buyers In Liverpool. Largo spot interests here have brought March and M y on a big scale. So have Liverpool strad? dlers in evident fear of oelng caught between the upper and the nether grindstone, especially on the May op lion, In which a decided pinch seem? ed to be threatened. The crop move? ment has continued light. Texas still needs a good deal of rain. On the other hand, however, there is a wide? spread and deep-seated skepticism as to the possibility of bringing about more than temporary rallies in the price of cotton. Trade and specula? tion are considered too dull to admit of a permanent rise. The Scott bill, aiming to suppress trading in futures, is considered a factor, mit;gating against a rise of prices. Also, it is declared that allowing for curtail? ment and dullness of trade, there will be plenty of cotton for the rest of the season. > eantime, big preparations are being made for the next crop. The area will he large, U rtlllzer sales are already heavy and labor is abun? dant. On Friday prices advanced, 40.000 bales In March notices being prompt? ly stopped.

Provident of the LalK>r Council Accus? ed of Inciting to Riol?Director o'. Public Safety Says Danger U> Passcil?Striken* Seem Determir vi To Win. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 25.?Fol 1 ?wing the publication of s statemen . alleged to have been made byJno. J. Murphy, president of the Central iJi bor Trnlon, that "a general strike should be called immediately. and there are men In the northeast who can shout as straight as any troop< r who ever drew a breath," a warrant was issued tonight for the labor leader, charging him with inciting to riot. The remarks on which the v. ar? rant for Murphy's arrest were bas2d v ere said to r ave been made by him following tiie announcement that at a special meeting of a hoard of specia directors of th? Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company, a request for arbi? tration 1 y a committee of clergymen had been declined. Riots in West Philadelphia and in the southern part of the city follow? ed the running of cars tonight. Three cam In South street were held up by an obstruction at the east end of the drawbridge over the Schuylkill River. \ crowd of men and boys showered bricks, stones and pieces of wood at the mot armen, conductors and police? men who were guarding the cars. A policeman with drawn revolver, forced his way through the crowd and dragged the Injured men to a power house. When fifty blue coats arrived on the scene, the crowd had dispersed, leav? ing the cars wrecked. Other riots were reported In several sections of West Philadelphia. Director of Public Safety Clay sa.^ tonight the strike is merely a mem? ory. He also issued orders forbidding the running of wagons, which have been doing a thriving business haul? ing to and from work people who did not care to take a chance on the cars while the temper of the strike sym? pathizers was at fever heat. At the meeting of the board of di? rectors today it was decided that any striker, whose previous record was good, would be taken back, provided he applied for his position before March 1. A reply was sent to the committee of elerg>men politely re? fusing to submit to the proposed arbi? tration. This a.iitude of the com? pany caused a renewal of the plans for a sympathetic strike. C. O. Pratt, the organizer of the Carmen, who has been opposing this plan, said: "A general strike will positively be declared unless the company comes I b' terms. We are prepared to fight f r weeks or months. We are not whipped and the coi ?pany will have to treat with us." B. K. Green wait, president of iE. 4 Pennsylvania state Federation of La* hor, said: "The str? et car strike lias ceased to become a local issue; it is now a na? tional one. vhe State and American Fe h ration stands by to give whatever support is deemed necessary. The strike will be won." The Cigarmakors' Union tonight passed resolut!' ns sympathizing with the carmen and pledged moral and financial support.
