VYK KKKSIIAM'S BEAR CAMPAIGN
New York Sun Continues the Fight
On Attorney General'! Proeeonttou
Of Hull Cotton Speculators.
New York, May 10.?Notwithstand?
ing the request through the Senate,
due to a resolution by Senator Smith
of South Carolina, that the Attorney
General, who is taking It upon him?
self to investigate the bull pool,
should Investigate also the bear pool,
he declines and says there is no stat?
ute requiring or permitting him to
conduct any investigation in aid of
the legislative branch of the govern?
ment.
The Sun in speaking of it says that
it is not Wickersham's job, but he
has voluntarily, possibly due to bear?
ish persuasion and influence, under?
taken to investigate the so-called bull
pool for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not there was a crime
committed against the laws of the
United States because they wanted
the cotton which they had bought on
contract months before and demand?
ed delivery.
Judging from all the papers have
to suy and summing up the situation,
it looks as though the legal branch
of the government had lent itself to
the aid of the local bear crowd, whose
one aim for nearly a year past, has
been to keep the price of cotton
cheaper than its natural value to both
spinner and manufacturer, because
we should naturally have had very
much higher prices than ruled a year
ago, and even higher prices than ex?
ist now, on a basis of supply and de?
mand.
Present values are about $7 to $3
per bale below the high prices we
had in December.
STERRET T?TE.
At the Cross Roads.
Each road overser within his dis?
trict may erect and keep up, at the
expense of the county, at the forks
and cross roads, a post and gulde
bosrd, or finger-board, containing an
inscription in legible letters directing
the way and distance to the town or
towns or public place or places, sit?
uated on each road respectively. (Sec.
1337, S. C, Code, Vol. 1.)
The Columbia Record quotes the
above and writes a very sensible ar?
ticle in regard to the importance of
the sign boards being placed at the
cross roads and suggests that the leg?
islature ought to strike out the word
'?may" ajfcnejj^ghal1 "
sanioia^^T^(>ul(l be i, '?.oat con?
venience for travelers through the
country and travel through the coun?
try roads has increased very much
and as the roads improve the increase
will be even greater.
Certainly sign boards should be
placed along the improved highways
and they could be so placed without
a great deal of cost.?Newberry Her?

this county has been notified that the
State Democratic executive commit?

retary of State on the night of May

tom heretofore to hold the meeting
of the executive committee after the

WICKERSHAM WILL NOT RE?
SPOND.
May
Be Forced to Comply With
Smith Resolution.
Washington, May 9.?The commu?
nication sent to the senate today by
Attorney General Wickersham, which,
in effect, declares he will not answer
the resolution introduced by Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, about two
weeks ago, in which the South Caro?
lina Senator called upon the depart?
ment of justice to investigate both
sides of the alleged cotton pool, prob?
ably means that Senator Smith will
at once call for an investigation
through the means of a special com?
mittee.
When Senator Smith spoke on this
resolution at the time it was intro?
duced, he said what he thought of
Mr. Wickersham and called upon
him, in the most emphatic way to
investigate all sides of the alleged
pool and thus make the matter fair
to all parties. This action is sup?
posed to have angered the Attorney
General, and his reply today indicates
that he will not respond to Senator
Smith's request. It is almost certain
that the matter will not rest here and
that Senator Smith will at once take
further action.
In reference to the matter, Senator
Smith said: "The Utorney Osiwar
claims that he has no authority to
send the information requested to the
senate. His reply has been referred
to the judiciary committee. If the
committee decides that he has au?
thority, then, of course, he will do
as requested. On the other hand, if
It is decided that Wickersham is right
and has not authority, then I will
ask for the appointment of a special
committe to summon Patten and oth?
er cotton men here and require them
to give the evidence before this com?
mittee which I am trying to secure.
I believe that is air* there is to the
matter at this time. If the commit?
tee Is appointed, it will have full au?
thority to summon any persons who
may be needed and authority also to
make them give testimony when they
get here."

In the moriing upon arising, my back
was so lame that I could hardly get

Doan's Kidney Pills at China's Drug
