Provide* for guarter Million Dol? lar Appropriation with Authority lo Bond Property for Similar Ad dltlotial Amount. Columbia. Feb. 3.?The House to day praeed to Its third reading the bill providing for the war? house sys? tem This bill, as is known, is in? tended to help handle the cotton crop, and has been advocated particu? larly In the Pee Dee section. It was a mi?age that appealed to moat of the members, but It Is svldent from the undercurrent that there are some decided misgivings aa to the bill about to be enacted. The bill as paesed by the Senate has been materially amend? ed, and will go back to the Senate, and may ultimately be materially changed or killed. As it now stands r-the bill provides for a direct appro ' prlation of 126Q.OOO payable In two annual Installments, and authority to t end the property for 1250 000. with bonds bearinr 5 per cent interest, aad for which the property alone ahould be responsive. Mr. Irby made - a proposition which was km by ten ' votes, of having the Governor, the Comptroller Oenere.1 eng the Secre? tary of State act as the com mission, but the House preferred to have three elected commissioners, the chairman of which board Is to be paid a salary of M.ioa. Aa amendment was adopted by the Honea proridiag for the erection of a compress In connection with the sys? tem of wareboueee. The bill doee not provide any particular location for the wareboueee to be built er bought, but the understanding seems to be ^ than they ere either to be built or< acquired. If the bill poases, n Char? leston and Columbia. The chief ar? gument made today in favor of the bill wee by Mr. Irby, of Laurens. who entered at length into the merits of I the warehouse system and the ad? vantage* that he believed would ac? crue to the State. Mr. Heiner, of Sumter, appeared to take active charge of the measure and proposed a series of important amendments ?Ii of * hieb wem adopt* k ec er al amendment tnat wae adapted to the bill, for Which M i.-iser an I the sponsors of the sseasur? were not responsible, wee one by Mr. Irby by which the old dispensary building, which is equip? ped with a eprlnkler system, and k which has railroad trackage, is to be turned over to the warehouse com? mission as a start for the cotton warehouse system. At the night eeslon of the House Mr. Stevenson moved that the House reconsider Its vote on the amend? ment donating the eld dispensary building to the cotton warehouse commission Such a proceeding he held would be unconstitutional and he thought the House had acted hur? riedly The H use then reconsid? ered and killed the amendment that had been adopted this morning and the old dispensary property remains aa at preeen'.

Amoswt of Cotton Planted In Eacb Townahlp and Per Coot of Redac? tion. With full report! from all of tho township* in the county under the Hock Hill plan for tho reduction of cotton acreage it seems that Sumter county will very nearly approach the , estimated twenty-five per cent reduc? tion which is aimed at under the workings of the plan. Mr. O'Donnell. the county chair? man under tho plan, appointed good men as canvassers for each district and he has seen to it that these canvassers have done their work thoroughly. Reports have been com? ing in steadily for the past two weeks and have from time to time been published in , The Item and Watchman and Southron and it now remains to be seen what the total re? sults of these reports are. At the present time there are very few, if any, persons In the county who have any idea of the total acreago of cot? ton commonly planted in this county and it will be of interest to them to learn what is this acreage and how much It will be reduced this year from last year, when more cotton was produced in the county tbun ever be? fore in lta history . The reports as they have come in have been tabulated and a recapitula? tion shows the following figures for each of the townships In th* counlv. As the reports for Stateburg and Middleton and for Privateer and Manchester came in togother it is im? possible to separate them with any degree of accuracy so they are given together.

Of course there la a great deal of cotton planted In the county which Is not represented in the re? turns made by the canvassers, the owners being unwilling or unable to give the canvassers the desired infor? mation, or the canvasser* through some oversight not having called on the planter. \ Otherwise than as a plan having for its object the reduction of cot? ton acreage the information is of in? terest and may be used to advaptage by persons desiring cotton statistics of this county.

AI KEN DEPUTY SHOT TO DEATH. Kuller Gregory Killed by Tom Lip ford. Aiken, Feb. 8.?Mr. Fuller Greg? ory, of Warrenvllle, well known In Alken and throughout tho Horsecreek Valley, was shot last evening and in? stantly killed by Tom Llpford in Warrenvllle. The instrument was a doublebarrel shotgun, the shot used apparently No. 6. Llpford had been summond to ap? pear In court here as a witness in the case of Ware, charged with arson, and when the case was called on Wednesday afternoon he (Llpford) failed to appear. A bench warrant was at once Issued, and Mr. Gregory was deputized by Sheriff Reborn to serve it. RAILROAD WORK STOPPED. Will Probably He Commenced Again In Next Few Days. The work on the South Carolina Western right of way was stopped Thursday afternoen as the contrac? tors had gone to work without direc? tion of the head engineer of the road and because tha contractors were then at work on a Una that had not been positively decided upon. The surveyors came over the route again Thursday straightening it out and fixing their references and a change of several feet was made In the route. This threw the work of the surveyors out of plumb and con? sequently their work will probably prove to no tffect. I The survey >rs stib have to place their reference* and the positive route is atlll undecided. It is prob? able, however, that work will be again commenced In the next few days as the surveyors are nearing the completion of their work and the at? torneys have very nearly completed their arrangements for securing the rights of way through this property.
