THE ROBERTS CASE.
1t Scems to be ForeRone Conclusion thai
Roberts Will be Ousted in One Way or
Another.

Washington, January 2.-The re-
port of the committee of the House
which is Investigating the case of
Mr.. Roberts, of Utah, will be made
soon after Congress assemblies, and
there is reason to believe the majority
report will recommend that Roberts
be excluded from the House, and
that he be lot permitted under his
credentials, to exercise any prima
facie right of being sworn in.
Whether the report will be unani-
nous is open to doubt, as three Of
the members Of the committee are
not counted on as positively favora.
BILE to the course indicated, and this
may result in the submission Of a
minority report. The minority view,
if submitted, will probably deal
with the prima facie right to be
sworn in on credentials, which are
regular, and will recommend that
Roberts be sworn in and thereafter
expelled.
The committee will resume hear
ings on Thursday at II o'clock. The
testimony is closed, however, Chair
man Tayler, of Ohio, having heard
that the remaining witnesses in Utah
will not come on. 1t is expected
therefore, that Thursday will be
given to Mr.. Roberts for his argu
ment. A vote is likely to follow the
latter part of the week.

NEWBERRY. S. O., FRIDAY, JANUARY s. 1900
Time For Payment
Of Taxes Extended.
WILL he RECEIVED wIrHOUT PEN
Atty UFTIL FEB. 1.
Done TO Avoid Complications and TanGles
In tho Tax Machinery
OF the State.
(The State, 2nd.)

The people of the State who have
failed to pay their taxes by Dec. 3lst.,
as required by law, will read with
real pleasure the announcement
that the time for the payment Of
taxes without the penalties has been
extended to the first day Of February
next.
This extension was granted yester-
day by tho Governor and Comptrol.
ler General, when in their judgment
it is deemed expedient and to the
best interests of the people and the
State. Yesterday morning the Gov
erDor and the Comptroller talked the
matter over very carefully and the
extension WAS not made because of
any urgent appeals received, bnt IN
order to avoid complications that
only serve to mix UP the tax collect
ing machinery ard throw it into a
hopeless tangle. For Instance, the
general assembly almost invariably
extends tho timo by concurrent reso-
lutions. Before it can net the time
for the payment Of taxes without
penalty expires and in tho interim
those who pay up have to pay the
penalties also When later on the
extension by the Legislative process
comes along those who have paid the
penalties want those penalties back
and confusion worse confounded in
the accounts of the treasury occurs,
causing the Comptroller's Office wor-
ry and trouble throughout tho year
and giving room for charges to be
made against honest officials occupy
ing the treasurers' offices. The neces-
sity for some change in the tax laws
to obviate this trouble seems impera-
tive.
This is thS principal reason why
the extension is granted this year.
The Comptroller is very anxious to
get all the machiney in running on q
business like basis, and to this end
he thought it wise to extend the
time for the payment of taxes this
year.
The proper official notices of
the extension will be sent out to
the several county treasurers at
once.

NO LIMIT TO COTTON MILLS.
INTERESTING INTERVIEW WITU ID. A.
TOMPKINS, OF CHARLOTTE.
He Prophesies that In 1910 the United
States vii, Have ns Many Spindles In
Cotton Mills Eng gland, and that
tho South will Have as Many
as New England and
tho Middle states
Combined.


an interview with an Associated Press
reporter Mr.. D. A. Tompkins, the
we'll known cotton mill expert, takes
most encouraging Wow of textile
conditions in the South. In reply to
question as to the prospects Of new
mill construction in 1900 Mr.. Tomp-
kins said that expectations in this
line will be fully mot. "The machine
manufacturers in the United Sta! es,"
said Mr. Tompkins, "can make $780,
600 spindles year That Is the ex-
tent of their output. The new mills
to be built in 1900 will require g.
100000 spindles for their equipment,
80 that the mill construction this
year will be very nearly equal to the
capacity OF the machine plants to
turn out spindles."
Continuing, Mr.. Tompkins said:
"New England has 100000 spin
dies, of which 100000 are located
in Massachusetts. There are now
100000 spindles in the South. At
tho end of 1900 the South will have
100000 spindles and New England
will still have 100000. In Mas
sachusetts new epindles are being
put in on fine stutfs only, whilo the
old ones are being discontinued on
coarse stuff.
"Old England has as, 100000 spin
dies; the South 5000, 900; the Uni
ted States, including the Middle
States, 20,000,O00. At the rate of
100000 new spindles year, the
present rate of increase, ten years
from now the United States would
have about the same number Of spin
dies az England. OF these, New En-
gland and the Middle States would
probably have 20,000,O00, all on fine
goods, and the South 25,000,OC0. In
other words, the United States in
1910 will have as many spindles as
England, and tho South will have
more spindles than New England
and the Middle States combined"
Mr.. Tompklns says there is not the
slightest fear of over-production if
we properly develop our market op-
portunlties. The Orient, he says,
might be developed to take the pro-
duct of 100000 splndles in ten
years, over and above the present
production. just how remote the
possibility of over production is, is
manifest from the fact that it will re-
quire 100,O00,000 spindles to manu-
facture the cotton crop of the world
into the average grade of cloth, and
it has been shown there are but TO-
100000 spindles in the United States
and 100000 in the South.

tusty historical characters that call for
