CONNOR'S RESOLUTION.
DOES GOVERNOR ELLERBk,
HOLD TWO OFFICESl
And is His Private Secretary Re
lated to Him Close Enough to
Prevent HIS Aappointment!
Some Knotty CUES
tionS for Decision.
Columbia Record, 2Tth.

Senator Connor, OF Orangeburg,
is after legislators and state Of
ticisls who hold two offices. ia
the senate today he introduced a
resolution referring to tho iudic>
lary committee and the committee
on privileges and elections the
question whether any state officers
are now holding two Offices and
whether any Of them have APP
pointed relatives to office who are
within the fifth degree Of consan-
guinity.
1t is SAID that several legisla-
tors are trustees in different state
institutions, but the interesting
feature sbou tho resolution is ir its
relation to Gov Ellerbe. He 10 a
member of the board of trustees OF
Clemson college and was elected
by tho legislature. This is held
to be in violation of the lau-that
he should bo = trustee and gover-
nor At the same time.
Again tho resolution effects his
private secretary, Mr.. w Boyd
Evans Mr.. Evans 10 rsIatod to
the governor, but says it is so far
OF that he can hardly trace it. He
seems certain that he doe. not
come within the prohibition Of
the sw relative to appointing
klnsm0n to office.
Tho general opinion is that
nothing will come of the lesoIu-
tion. 1t is = small matter At best.
but if the constitution is strictly
constructed no doubt some legis-
lstors and some state officials are
guilty. But none OF the latter
have relatives in their respective
offices and the main question 10
whether the governor i. holdin 6
two Offices.

the expert sn authoritative ststisti-
clan in cotton Of New York, saws:
"Public sentiment m respect to
cotton has changed recently. 1t
hss, in my judgment, been rising
for mosths, lnssmuch ~ it has
persistently over estimated the
crop or supply, and naturally
overlooked and thus under esti-
mated the increased consumption
demand. Recently there has bee.
. better appreciation of the fact
that the crop will fall far short of
the Zig estimates, and it is daily
becoming moro evident that it's
quality will be the poorest for
years. Looking to tho market
for cotton goods Ne SEQ an active
demand ~ higher prices with
very moderate stocks and a firm
tone to the market. The produc-
tiun of = nue,her OF mills has
been sold for some months ahead.
In short, the business OF our cot
ton mills Is in sound healthy
condition. Tho general business
of the country i. increasing in
activity in almost every line, and
1t would bs strange if cotton manu>
featuring should fall short IN the
general expansion. The European
mills, and especially tho British
mills, are doing n healthy and
xctive business as our own.
There IA every Indication that tho
miIls OF Europe, India, Japan,
indeed evsrywhsro, will consume
thiE season more cotton than ever
before. IL looks to mo as If the
mills OF the world would consume
10, 700, 600 bales Of American
cotton this season, and it 10 doubt-
f'II If the crop will turn oul that
quantity Of desirable grades Of
cotton. | cannot learn that land
has been broken anywhere, not
even in Texas, for the new crop.
Farming operations arc late every

In Georgia are only about half as
much as for the corresponding
period last season, and the sales
in other States arc reported to 10
about on the same scale. These

The only sound objection that
can be urged against tho view that
l present is that the present ad-
ministrstion is hostile to prnhibi-
ton, and that, therefore, the law
might be killed by weak knesd
enforcement thereof. There is
some force in such an argument,
but, IN my judgment, that objsc-
tion will be more than offset by
the benefits that will accrue. Re-
Nom ber, We got rid OF the tre-
msndous influence Of the dispen-
ssry in politics. With the dispen-
sarY out Of our way and with
thrss-fourths Of the counties in tho
State at our back, surely We will
be in better position 10 push on

we can make the best fight in the

our Judgment it is better not to

Ic urge that by doing asIad.
