The conclusion that consumption is
curablc, reached by the Tuberculosis
Congress, is Of great Importance. But
it would be more satisfactory if there
had been greater attention given to
the methods. Prevention Of infec-

cure for consumption beyond the first
stages, the world is ignorant of it.

The Board Of Equalization of South
Carolina provided for by the last
Legislature to fix the assessments for
taxation of cotton mills, fertilizer and
oil mill property, met in Columbia last
week. After hearing from cotton mill
presidents from nearly every section
of the State, the Board adopted the
plan of assessing cotton mills accord
ing to the market value of their stock
and bonds, instead of upon the spin
die basis. Heretofore the State has
assessed this class Of property Just
as any other real estate and personal
property. The results of the change
made necessary by the phenomenal
growth of these industries remain to
be seen. 1t is believed, however, that
the amount received by the State will
be considerably larger than under the
old system.

The fiscal year just closed shows the
greatest export trade in cotton in any
one year in the history Of tho country.
The total value Of the raw cotton ex-
ported was 1913, ,673, ,-i43 against $780,
1883 in the best year ever before
known, 1891. These figures are in
excess of the total exports of bread
stuffs or provisions, the year exports
Of brcadstuffs being S275, ,594,Gl and
of provisions $l9G,95s,S7S. These
figures show the enormous value Of
the cotton crop, but they can be very
easily knocked into a cooked hat by
the production Of an enormous crop.

INCREASE IN TAXES.
Assessor's Report for 1901 Shows In.
 crease of $4,046,863.

The complete list of tax assessments compiled by Tax Assessor Mclaughlin for the year 1901 shows an increase of $4, ,883 in the valuation of real and personal property over last year. The figures are:
 Real, 1901, s2S,771,576; 1900, s21,. 528,994; increase, $2,242,5S2,
 Personal, 1901, $14,987 ,955; 1900, $1, 183,674; increase, s1,804,381.
 Totals, 1901, $38,759,531; 1900, $3,- 712,668; increase, s4,046,863.
 Last year the increase made by the back tax commissioner after the as- sessments had been made by the as- sessor. amounted to S4,S16,S47, running the total assessment for last year up to $39,529.515. It Is to be presumed that the raises to be made Dy the back tax commissioner this year will be about the same as last year, which would make the total for this year something like S43,500,000.

THE BL|NN SUIT
 IS DISMISSED Judge Meek Say Federal Court Without Jurisdiction BANKRUPTCY CASE ENDED J. c. Cobbs, Who Was Appointed Re ceiver, Is Discharged--eank- ruptcy Case Filed by Elmo
 Messensale Dismissed.
BANKRUPTCY CASE ENDE[

In the Federal Court yesterday Judge Edward F. Meek after hearing argument, dismissed the case of George A. Blinn.. Jr., ct aI., vs. the Continental Security Debenture Company, and discharged the receiver, J. c. Cobbs, who was appointed April IS by Judge Bruce at the time the original petition was filed.
 Judge Meek then took up the bankruptcy case filed against this same company by Elmo Massengale and others, and after hearing argument dismissed it.
 The hearing in the first case came up upon a petition filed by Dan Jenkins ct al. representing to the court that they had filed a bill in the Chancery court of Jefferson County, asking it to appoint a receiver for the Continental Security De- benture Company, and that they ap- it to dismiss the Blinn suit on the ground that the United States Court had no jur- isdiction of the parties or the subject matter. Judge Meek sustained this posi- ton and dismissed the suit.
 The Elmo Massengale suit was then taken up. No sensational developments appeared. This suit was promptly dis missed by the judge on the ground that the Debenture Company was not such a corporation as came within the purview of the bankrupt act. Judge Meek re- al and Powell & Blackburn and H. K. debenture company it's principal business seemed to be printing bonds.
 Denson & Tanner appeared for Blinn ct al and Powell & Blackbur. and H. K White for Dan Jenkins ct al. \

THREE YEAR OLD WINNER

New York, May 25.-James R. Keene's Conroy, the first 3-year-old to win a Brooklyn handicap, cantered home a winner at Gravesend today with the odds of to 1 against him. Herbert finished | second and Standing third. The favorite, Banaster, was away back in the ruck un- able to get up his speed in the heavy go- ing
 more disagreeable day for the Brook lyn handicap could not have been inn agined From early morning the rain had been coming down with now and then clearing signs. which gave promise of possibly fair weather by the time the great race was run. The first three races were run under lowering clouds.
 The quintette of runners in the Expecta- tion stakes had hardly furnished, how ever, when the rain came down in earnest and the big event was run in a driving rain. In spite of the threatening wealth CT there were 15,000 people at the track When the bugle called the handicap can didates to the post, the track was like a quagmire. Banastar was a consistent favorite, all the time, with Conroy second and Sidney Lucas, Herbert and Raffaello we'll backed.
 The usual applause marked the parade of the horses to the post. On the sixth attempt the starter got them off in good style Banastar was the first to show with Herbert and Raffaello next in line and Conroy close up. Rounding the turn O'Connor sent the three year old Conroy to the front and he was two lengths to the good as he passed the judges stand for the first time. Banastar was in sec ond place, Herbert and Standing tapping him.
 Without slackening speed they rounded the lower turn, Conroy holding his advan- tage. Banastar had been passed by Her bert and Standing and was half q length behind them. Coming into the back stretch Smith sent Herbert after Conroy and foot by foot he began 10 cut down the lead of the three-year-old. Standing and Banastar began to close up, too, and as the upper turn was reached It looked as if the youngster had already had his measure taken OConnor, however, was on the alert and still had a good hold on Keene's horse As the leaders flew around the last turn for one instant Banaster showed a flash of the speed he exhibited in the Brooklyn handicap two years ago. But 1t did not last and he began to drop back. The heavy weight and the muddy track were too much for him.
 Herbert was on even terms with Conroy and Standing was but length away, and they were strengthened out for the final rush. OConnor, on Conroy. then crouched low on his mount and went to work. Con- roy gamely responded to the jockeys ap- peal and in few jumps left Herbert. as if he were standing still. In the twinkle of an eye he was a couple of lengths in front, and in a few bounds more as far as the rest were concerned, the contest was over and the latter. pulling up strongly cantered past the Judge's stand the cas- jest kind of winner by length and half from Herbert. who was twice that distance in front of Standing, and the others badly beaten

REYISIONISTS WIN
 IN PHILADELPHIA
The Confession of Faith of the Presbyterian Church Will
 Undergo Changes

Philadelphia, May 25.-The Presbyterian general assembly today took another step toward revising the confession of faith by rejecting the minority report, which has been offered as a substitute amend ment for the majority report The vote was 271 to 234 The recommendation Is as follows:
 I've recommend that a committee be instructed to prepare a brief summary of the reformed faith bearing the same relation to the confession which the shorter catechism bears to the larger catechism, and framed on the general model of the consensus creed, prepared for the general assembly of 1892, or the articles of faith of the Presbyterian church of England, both of which doc uments are appended to the committee appointed"
 With the consent of the assembly the motion was changed so that the vote was taken on the question of striking out the recommendation from he majority report instead of accepting the minority report as substitute.
 An effort was made to postpone the vote until Monday, but the commissioners were impatient and insisted on the putting of the question. The moderator was unable to decide by a vive voce vote and di- vision being called for, a rising vote was taken When the result was announced the revisionists cheered heartily and called for a vote on the adoption of the majority report. On the advice of the moderator, however, it was decided to postpone consideration of this important matter until Monday.

SENATOR LODGE
 TO BE CHAIRMAN
Probable That United States Will Construct Nicaragua
 Canal Without Consent

Washington, May 25-(special)-The fact that Senator Lodge of Massachu- setts is almost certain to be chosen as chairman of the senate committee on for eign relations to succeed the late Senator Davis of Minnesota is believed here to mean that an aggressive policy in the matter of the abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty is to be pursued. policy that has had the endorsement of Senator Morgan of Alabama and which Senator. Lodge has heretofore advocated. This would mean that the efforts now being made by the State Department and the British foreign office t6 reach an agree rnent regarding the construction of the Nicaraguan canal will not be successful and that the policy of having the United States. construct that waterway regard less of British or other foreign ideas, Is very likely to prevail.
