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.

"While, therefore, it Is deemed nec?
essary that the county auditor, town?

der the levy for 1910, It would be
not only runlous and extravagant, bat
contrary to the legislative Intention
to assess property this year at its
true value for the purpose of taxation,
and that the townships and county
hoards will have to assess the value
ef property for the purpose of taxa?
tion at such psnnaiaOf the true
value as will b sufficient to raise the
amount of appropriations.
"Heretofore little effort has been
made to canalize the assessments III

Sumter Is one of the ti? st and most
progressive towns In the state, and
needs bul two things to put her In
first rai ?. 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. a, B, Haynsworth thinks Mein
street la in a >rrible tlx, and should
be pave 1.
Mi. C, i>. Schwartz thinks thl P' v
Ing of Main street has been n ?d< i
or Bom ? time, "i eb> not see," ho
scys, "how any one could oppcHO the
move, 1 do not know of any one Im?
provement I would he more In favor
of than that of paving Main street."
Mr. B. C, Wallace thinks taxes are
Igtl enough, and Q9 a matter of tax?
ation ii will lie' impracticable.
Mr. K. K. Wilder favors th< pav

SPIVINEHS FIGHT ADVANCE

Now York, Feb. 25.?Though lat?

buying of March and May by big spot
Interest! end large purchases %cy Liv?

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

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.

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

following tiie announcement that at a
special meeting of a hoard of specia
directors of th? Philadelphia Rapid
Transit Company, a request for arbi?

had been declined.
Riots in West Philadelphia and in
the southern part of the city follow?

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

"The str? et car strike lias ceased to
