COTTON RATES NOT ADJUSTED.
Another Conference VIII Follow
That Held at New York.

Another Conference VIII Follow
That Held at New York.
The representatives of the lines interest
ed were disappointed in the hope that the
cotton rates from Athens and Atlanta to
the South Atlantic ports would be adjust
ed at the meeting just held in New York.
1t was found necessary to call the delib-
erations off for a time, and the rites are
to remain as they now are, in all prob
ability, until after the representatives
have had another meeting. This wih be
Feb 9 at st. Augustine, Fla.
Vice President Egan of the Central and
General Freight Agent Winburn returned
yesterday from the meeting. Traffic Man.
ager E. Fl. Hinton also attended, and will
return to-day.
Mr.. Egan said that the differences with
regard to cotton rates had not been ad-
justed. He was asked if an agreement
had been reached to have them remain
as at present until after the meeting to be
held next month for their further con.
slderation, but answered that no such
agreement would be lawful Under the de-
Missouri case of some two years ago t
Is impossible, he says, for the roads to en-
ter into any agreement, and the law 8
observed. Even In the associations that
have been formed since the decision, Mr.
Egan says, the roads have retained their
individual freedom and have been bound
by no agreement.
1t is Mr. Egan's belief, however, that
the rates will remain as they now are
until the lines interested can come to an
understanding. He said the report that
the Southern has met the Seaboards cut
to 20 cents per hundred pounds by coming
down to IA cents was an error, that the
rates to Savannah Brunswick and
Charleston now stand at 10 cents This
gives a differential of cent in favor of
these cities against Norfolk and Mr.
Egan says if any difficulty is found in
getting cotton to Savannah under these
circumstances the difficulty will lie with
the buyers. He thinks if there Is to be
any objection to the rates as they stand
now the fault should not be attributed to
the Central, but rather to the business
men, who handle cotton. Savannah will
enjoy the same advantage in the mat
ter Of rates as Brunswick and Charleston,
and Mr.. Egan believes any cry the cot
ton men of Savannah might make would
be evidence of weakness.
Mr.. Egan has not observed any great
impetus that has been given cotton move
ments by the reduction in rates. The
shipments have been just about normal
since the prices for transportation came
down. He says the rates now In effect are
not remunerative and that the railroads
to Savannah, Brunswick and Charleston
would not be justified in making anv
greater reduction.

oHARLEsTON's WATER WORKS.
Bill Passed Providing for a New ana
Improved System.


Charleston, s. c.. Jan. 2e.-There now
seems to be no reason to doubt that
Charleston will shortly have a new sys-
tenn of water works
When this scheme was first put forward
the present water company went into the
courts and enjoined the city from lncreas-
ing its bonded indebtedness. This it could
do under an old law passed during The
Courtenay administration. To alleviate
this trouble, a bill has been introduced
in the present legislature, granting the
desired privilege 10 the city, and a COM
mittee Of business men that has been In
Columbia in the interest OF the measure
returned home to-day, satisfied that n
would pass.
The plan contemplates bringing water
here from the Edisto river a distance ~
thirty miles. II also provides for eivinr
Charleston a supply of 100000 gallons per
day, at cost no greater than that now
being paid and at the end Of thirty years
the works will be owned outright by the

TALK BANK SCANDAL.
Depositors In Perth Amboy Institu
ton Now Making Threats.

New York. Aug. 2.-One Of the lead
ing business men of Perth Amboy, a
deDositor in the wrecked Middlesex
County bank, said today that within 4S
hours there probably would be an ar
rest that would create more of a sensa-
ton than did that of George M. Valen-
tine, the defaulting cashier.
The committee of the depositors head
ed by Mayor Compton, will go before
Vice Chancellor Pitney in Newark to-
morrow morning and lay before him
the results of Receiver Maguire's in
vestigations and those of the state
bank examiners.
The depositors say they will show
that much of the banks money, sQuan-
Gered by Valentine, was taken by him
with the knowledge of the bank Off
GERS, and that no security was required
by them for the protection of their
trust.
A second indictment framed against
the officers is that after they had learn
ed of Valentines defalcation they kept
it quiet and continued for several days
to receive the money of depositors
