NEW YORK, JAM 15-Some improvement in
the general demand for cotton goods was re-
ported to-day but not individual buying of
large quantities. Prices of brown and gray
cottons are steady with agents, but there is
some reselling from second hands rather under
market quotations. Bleached cottons steady.
Wide sheetings frm coarse colored cottons
scarce and very firm. Prints in better request
at previous prices. Ginghams continue strong;
print cloths inactive at previous prices. White
goods scarce in both fancy and staple lines and
full prices easily maintained.

Ex-Conyists Not Exempt.

In response to a letter from County
Supervisor Owens, CT Richland county.
Attorney General Bellinger has pre-
pared the following:
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 18th in
stant has just been received, in which
you refer to the question recently ask
ed the governor as to the liability Of
ex-convicts to road duty" The pro-
vision as to the working of the public
roads is purely statutory one and the
subject, as far as the same relates to
persons liable to such duty" is COW
cred by section of the acts Of 1900,
page $50, which provides, That all
male persons able to perform the la
Dor herein required between the ages
Of IS and 55 years there follows certain
exceptions as to certain counties and
the ages specified, and also except min
;Eters of the gospel in actual charge
OF a congregation, and persons per-
manently disabled in the military SER
vice of this State and persons who SER
ved in the late war between the States
and persons actually employed in the
quarantine service OF the State),
shall be required annually TO perform
labor on the highways under the di-
recticn CT the ove-seer of the said dis
trict in which he shall reside, as fol-
lows" etc. 1t seems clear from the
above. which is exhaustive, that eX-
convicts are not exempt from the per-
formance of road duty. The question
Of citizenship does not arise, in my
opinion in this connection.

Infantic de in Florence.

Florence, Special.-Dosia Brown,
negro woman in the Hyman section o.
this county, is accused OF having beat
en- or stamped her infant child to death
and the circumstances Of her marriage
a few months ago and the condition Of
the child's body seem to point strongly
to her guilt Magistrate Hyman, upon
the request of some Of the people OF
that section, empanelled a jury and
held an inquest over the body Of the
child. DR.. J. H. Mum, who hold 4
post mortem examination, stated that
the child's death was not from natural
causes. He found bruises upon the
head and body which indicated brutal
treatment, and it evidently had been
STAMPED to death. The verdict Of the
Jury was that the child came to its
death from brutal treatment at the
hands Of its mother, or words to that
effect. The acting coroner sent the case
I'D to the May court Of General Ses-
sions. The woman is now very Ill at
her home, but under guard. AS sooa
as she is able to stand the trip she will
be brought here to jail.
