Cciimis Bureou's Ginning DLsap
POlnted Bears.
New York, Jan. 26.?Weekly prices
of cotton have risen under the spur
of a big demand for the actual cot?
ton at home and abroad. The Con?
tinent has been heavy buyer in Liver?
pool. British spinners have been
calling freely for cotton, and in this
country Europe has been a large
buyer. The exports have been a !
rush to get cotton for January ship- '
ment, export business having to
some extent held up by the recent
severe weather. The Lancashire
mills have resumed work on full
time and cloths have been In good
demand at Manchester. In this
country the tendency of the dry
goods market la manifestly towards
a gradual Improvement, none the
less certain if rather slow.
In New York, thouph prices sag?
ged for a time linger considerable
liquidation, including no little selling
by spot houses, there have latterly
l een signs of awakening life and
strength, which have confirmed many
in the belief that the low price of the
crop was touched in December and
that henceforth tho trend will be
upward for the reason that the weight
of even u mammoth crop is off the
market.
M amime Europe is taking even
the lower grades of cotton at the
South with greater readiness, to say
nothing of the white cotton, which '
seems none too easy to get. Though
the interior receipts are increasing, '
owing to milder weather at the South, '
the interior shipments keep pace
with the increase.
All the signs, in the estimation of
many, point to an insatiable demand
from Europe, j?here *^j^*?r? fre
r?bi.f to lay^ in ei^ppl^e?' at current
^prices aft^fr the muhh higher prices
of recent&ears. ' 1

with the ginning thus r^i, rouggMy
speaking, some'5,000,000 bales in ex?
cess of tho Quantity brought into

startj a bull campaign, seeing that
this cotton may come on the market
\siih a rush on any good advance.
Also, it is contended trlat recent

sharp deii ftnd for tho actual cotton,
chiefly fronj Europe, is tho domi?
nant figure^ conjoined with an ab?

from 10,00(1 to IS,000 bales a d;\y.

Country's Latest Revolution Snuff?
ed out at One Blow.
Guayaquil, Ecuador. Jan. 28.?An
infuriated mob today broke into the
Quito penitentiary in spite of a double
guard and lynched Gen. Elroy Al
faro, Flavlo Alfaro, Mendaro Al
faro, Clpiano Paez and Manuel Zer
rano, all prominent revolutionists.
With the putting to death of Gen.
Elroy Alfaro, ex-president of Ecua?
dor; his brother, Gen. Flavio Alfaro
ex-minister of war and Commander
in-chief of the revolutionary forces;
Gen. Madero Alfaro, who is believed
to have been a brother of the two
other Alfaro's, and two generals, Paez
and Manuel Sorrano, the leading
lights in Ecuador's last revolution,
have been snuffed out. This revolu?
tion, although it had been a long?
time brewing, began in reality a few
days following the sudden death on
December 22 la3t of President Emilio
Estrada.
The first of the drastic measures
taken by those who opposed the rev?
olution was carried into effect last
Thursday at Guayaquil when Gen.
Pedro Montero, who was proclaimed
president by the troops after the
death of Estrada, was shot and be?
headed by a mob, which later burn?
ed his body. The shooting of Montero
took place in the court room where
the general had jutt been tried by
courtmartial and sentenced to 16
year's imprisonment for his connec?
tion with the revolt. The people, evi?
dently angered at what they consid?
ered a too light sentence rushed into
the court room, and, after riddling
Montero's body with bullets, dragged
it into*the open. Then they decapi?
tated it, built a bonfire and threw
into the tlames the torso and head of
the man who once was a popular
hero in Ecuador. Elroy Alfaro and

A large' number of poisons were
present Sufiday night at the First Bap?

$*eLeod make a very Interesting ad?
dress on the Civic League work in
Sumter and the good accruing from
the work of the city nurse. Follow?
ing his address a collection for the
purpose of obtaining funds to sup ?
port the Civic League Nurse,was tak?
en and $255 was raised in cash and
promised subscriptions for this
fund.
Mr. MeLeod was listened to with
attention throughout his address,
which was altogether along lines
that the occasion demanded. He told
of the good that the civic leagues
woge doing all over the country and
incidentally how they were helping
Sinnter along with other places. He
spoke of the need of following the
gospel teachings which sanction and
commended the work of charity. He
spoke of the great charity work that
was being done by the city nurse
among the poor people of the city
and bow many a home had been
brightened and helped by her in her
visits to the sick and afflicted. He,
discussed the subject fully and hy
words seemed to meet the approb;iu/i
i f his audience. /
At the close of his address/Dr.
Brown read the report of th/city
nurse and added a few words/of en?

It was found upon the c/tnting of

THE STORM CENTRE.
opponents OF NEW JERSEY
GOVERNOR ACTIVE.
Enemies claim Wutterson Feud Has
Hint, While 1-Y'ends Think it Has
Helped.
Washington, Jan. 28.?Although ]
up to thi3 time Senator Tillman has
made good his word that he has said
all he is going to say on the Watter
son-Wilson matter, at least for the
present, the situation continued to be
the sole topic of conversation where
ever politicians and public men met
here today.
What the opponents of Woodr'
Wilson are now bent upon, it is ^
declared, is to compel Gov. W' to
make public the names of con?
tributors to his campaigr d. They
are seeking to forec him to reveal
the source of the money that has
been used to keep Wilson headquar?
ters in New York open, to conduct
a literary campaign, and to form
Wilson organizations in many States.
On the other hand, it is promised that
in the next few day?* there wiu be
a rallying to Gov. Wilson on the part
of his friends and admirers that will
i
prove he has not only lost no strength
on account of the break with Colt
Harvey and the attacks of Col. Wat
teison. but that he has gained. In?
fluential men in congress, who are
heart and soul for Wilson, and who
believe that he is the one hope of the
Democrats next November, are ex
. pected to declare for him in such
i
fashion as will give a great impetus
to his campaign.
Talk is afloat that a letter may
soon be given out which was vritten
i
by Gov. Wilson to Col. Harvey at
the time of the Jackson day ban?
quet. Two versions of this letter are
given. The Wilson men say that It,
disproves that Gov. Wilson treated i
Col. Harvey wrongfully or with In- ,
gratitude. The anti-Wilson men say
$ amounts to an apology to Col. Har- '
''eV./tor the wav he was treated. Aa
'i%?$*?kio^ since Col.
Watterson gate ottt big statement say- j
lug he was authorized; to raise cam- j
pagin funds f or .Qov. Wilson, and ad- ,
mining ha conferred with Thomas Y
Ryan, ,these things have happened.
Gov. Wilson insists that the state
ment th.v Col. Watterson was author -;
ized to raise funds for* him is "ebso
lutely without foundation."
One manner la which the op?
ponents of Wilson are seeking to use
the Wifson-Harvey ^incident is this:
TJiey are porting out that Wilson
Used Col. Harvey to capture the gov?
ernorship in? New Jersey and to get
ifp to a certain point in his quest for
the presidency. Then, they say, he
I turne i on Harvey and "threw him
? down" when he saw he could ho long?
er use him.
In the light of this, say the anti
Wilson men. what will happen to
Bryaij? W1H not Wilson use Bryan
to get into the White House and
hen .urn against him, not merely
with a personal ingratitude thct is
said to be sharper than, a serpent's
' tooth, but with a disregard for the
I i regressive policies, thfe advocacy of
, which has led Bryan/O support Wil
. son ?
j This sort of argument has been ap
? pi! d cleverly an/ with some effect
jl.y the opponents of Wilson in quar?
ters where ad/iiration for Lryan is
intense. But/he difficulty about get?
ting perm/nent advantage against
Wilson wlfh this sort Of talk is that
Bryan r/nself is plainly stronger
than ev/i in his support of Wilson
and \t\ Iiis belief that Wilson is the
Mo>t? to lead the Democratic party
