Aug. 1'.. - Lrandiug the proposed plan of the Liverpool tttlon bills <>f hiding committee, to institute in New York a clearing house for the validate n 4 MttOI bUlfl of lading, as a "direct retlei tern and insult upon thoso engaged In the ex? porting of cotton." and placing It? self upon record as opposing the plan in its entirety, the New Orleans Cot? ton Kv hange thu ?ftrnoon. through its board of directors, passed resolu? tions to this effect, and approved ihe reports of its special committee ap? pointed to tn\e*tigute the proposition. The directors also adopted resolu? tions authorising the pi evident of th" Exchange to Issue in\ itations In the name of the Exchange to all South? ern exchanges, boards of trade, hank ers and exporters, and others inter? ested In the handling of cotton, to meet here In Joint conference, prob? ably during the annual Conventon of the American Rankers' Assocaton. about November 20 next, for the pur? pose of adopting measures for the protecton of their respective and mu? tual Interests. The local Exchange expressed itself sa being willing. In the future as in the past, to co-operate in any fea? sible and Just plan for the protec? tion of the legitimate cotton trad.' snd the elimination of practices con? trary to commercial morality; any feasible pi that will not take fur? ther tribute from the Southern plant arm. All cotton exchanges In the L'n tad States were urged to oppose the proposed plan. In the report of the special com? mittee, made public today, it waa stated that Charlea S. Halght, repre? senting the Liverpool Interests, at a conference last Saturday, explained the entire plan to the local commit? tee, but as no change from the origi? nal plan was noted, he was Informed that eg adverae report would he made and the propoaltlon opposed.

"Your committee stated that it considered the action of the Liver? pool and New York committees as being highhanded and unwarranted. In endeavoring to put this plan into operation upon such short notice and without consultation with Southern exporters and Southern Kxchungo buyers, who are mainly Interested In the prop -Kitlon and whose Interest and reputations are entirely at m ik.?." The committee, in giving reasons for opoAtng the plsn. report, d that the lussfs through Knight. Van snd Company, and Steele, Miller and Co.. were nothing, and. "consequent? ly there wn-i nothing to Justify the complex and cumbersome methods of handling cotton." aa proposed; "that the BfSjp ?e<J plsn Is an ingulf to those Interested In the handling of cotton." and that It gives to New York i <h MM advantage In the pur ? hn??.- "f docnrio ntary bills, while other ?ltle-? will be inder the nee Slty of paying for their bilU before verlfleatlon rnn be obtained.

SEABOARD'S CHIEF ENGINEER. W. A. Monoure, Head of Scnbourd Construction Department Here on Thursday. Mr. W. A. Moncure, who has charge of the construction work for the Seaboard, which Is to enter Sumter shortly, was In town for a short while Thursday, leaving on an early train Friday morning. Mr. Moncure was seen at the Sum ?er Hotel Thursday night by a re? porter of The Item, and while he made no definite statements as to the nature of his business in the city, he said enough to convince the re? porter thnt It would not be long be? fore active work would be begun on getting the road Into this city. In fact, Mr. Moncure stated that his corps of surveyors now had their headquarters in Blshopvllle, where hey are making all necessary ar? rangements for the passage of the road through that city. Mr. Moncure'e opinion carries great weight with the Mr. nonaal, the promoter of the new road to be built here, as he has already superintended the c:instruc? tion of several roads for him, the latest being the road from McBee to Florence, the Darlington-Florence section of the rond being o;i.-r<?d for tratlic on last Wednesday. If. as .vom*? have guessed, Mr. Mo;?c rc was here for thl purpose Of astest ig f'.e best lOOStlOB for a terminal : :e, uia decision will no doubt be accept? ed by the Bonsai Co. This, however, as stated, Is only conjecture. Once the work of road building has begun ,lt will only be a question of I few months before passenger trains will be running Into the city on regu? lar schedule, for it is an established fact that with Mr. Moncure, as the head of the construction of a rahroad, It will very soon "get there." As generally known Mr. Moncure has been In the business of railroad construction since a youth, and he can tell some interesting stories of rail? roading In whit he calls "the old days."
