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'.

SI MM AH V OF COTTON REPORTS.
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.

Total . .36,606 26,508 8.997 26.2
From the above tabulated form it
will be aoen that Mayesvllle, township
leads the county In the acreage of
cotton with Sumter townahlp coming
in second with a considerably small?
er acreage. 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.
