THE CARTER CASE.
Delay Said to Have been Caused by
Politics.

Washington Special in New York Herald.
1t was confidently stated 10 me to-day
by an excellent authority that though the
papers in the court martial proceedings
against Capt. Oberlin NJ. Carter were on
the desk of Secretary Alger awaiting the
Presidents return and action. the chief
executive would not take up the case I'M
Ill after the November elections.
The almost startling statement was
made with accurate measurement of word
that the proceedings in the case had lag
ged and would yet lag on from political
considerations. One of these considera-
tons was that prominent New York poll
ticians of both parties are alleged to be
interested i'm the Atlantic Contracting
Company, with which it was charged
Capt. Carter conspired to defraud the
government.
The frequent and recent visits of Sen
ator Platt also, were emphasized, and 1t
was stated without reservation that the
utmost exertions of the New York sena
tor had been used for delay. When asked
for the probable cause of this activity on
the part of Senator Plat, the reply was
that Mr.. Plat and the friends of the ac-
cused man were interested in the same
corporations.
Frank Thomson, president of the Penn
syIVanla road. ana senator seven were
among others of those who had interceded
in behalf of Capt. Carter. II the case
is not finally disposed of before Congress
meets there may be an investigation by
one of the houses. In the last Congress a
resolution was introduced asking for pa
pers, but was postponed.
At the coming session sweeping inves-
tigation is expected TO be made when the
river and harbor bill Is reached. The con-
tractors have yet three million dollars of
contracts with the government, and the
Government has suspended work because
the appropriation is exhausted. Congress
will probably refuse to appropriate more
until the whole scandal has been invesU-
ga fed

Reports from many sections throughout
the state indicate that there will be ma
terial decrease in the acreage of cotton
next year. Farmers are very much dis
outraged with the returns from their
crops and they are looking about for 9TH
or crops to take the place of cotton on
their farms. Especially is this the case
IN Laurens and jackson counties in
which many farmers have been disappont
ed with the crop returns of this year. They
say they cannot raise Accent cotton and
live al home, and that it is necessary for
them to get crops which win furnish them
more money and reduce the expense of
their living. An immense acreage of
wheat, oats corn, potatoes and cane will
take The place of cotton on many farms
ia those counties. This step is not cOnfin-
ed to a particular class of farmers but
those who run from one to forty mules
have signifed their intentions to reduce
their cotton acreage, and plant more of
those crops which sustain life.
