TO COMPLETE ORGANIZATION.

The following is a copy OF letter
that Mr.. A. j. Matheson, chairman OF
the State immigration association has
ser.t out to senatorial representatives
o. each Of the counties that have not
heretofore taken an active part In the
current immigration movement:
Dear Sir-At the convention held IN
Columbia Nov. 10, last, for the pur..
pose Of devising ways and means OF
bringing to our state desirable class
of immigrants, provision was made for
an executive committee to consist OF
one member from each county or me
the state and one from each CONNER
cial body; the chairman of that COM
nittee to appoint at his leisure a mem
Der of the committee from each county
and such commercial body as was not
represented at the convention. l re-
gret to say that your county was one
of the few which had no delegates and
my; purpose in addressing this COM
munication to you is to ask that you
suggest the name Of q suitable citizen
whom I may appoint to that place. 1t
Is needless for me to say that there IS
no politics in this matter and we want
a man who will take an interest In
the objects and purposes of our organ
ization and who is willing to give some
Of his ability, time and attention to the
duties Of the position and who Is will
ing to defray his own expenses in at
tending meetings, etc. I would ask
you to: do me the further favor of In
forming me whether or not there Is a
commercial or civic organization In
your county, and If so, the name OF the
secretary. Please kindly give this
matter your attention as wish to call
the committee together at the earliest
practicable day.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The Lanier Literary society Of the
Yorkville Graded school has arranged
to give a public entertainment In the
Graded School auditorium this evening
at 7.30 o'clock, the programme consist
ing Of recitations and debate of the
query, Resolved that life in the coun-
try is more conducive to human de-
velopment than life in the city" The
friends and patrons Of the school are
cordially invited to be present.
- The furnishing of the rooms Of the
Commercial club has at last been COM
pleted, a janitor has been employed,
and from and after next Monday,
members will be able to make them
selves at home there whenever they
feel so inclined. The furnishing al
though not especially elaborate Is
tasteful and comfortable. The reading
room is supplied with an abundance OF
reading matter, including the leading
magazines, and those who do not care
to read will find diversion in various
games, including pool and billiards.
There was quite large audience
out at the opera house Tuesday night
to witness Simvelle's production of
Romeo and Juliet, and it Is fair to say
that the play was quite creditable.
Many members Of the audience had
seen more pretentious, elaborate and
artistic presentations Of the popular
tragedy, and most Of these freely con-
ceded that the efforts of the Simvelle
company were especially creditable un-
der the circumstances. From finan-
cial standpoint, also the show was
quite a success.

CoTToN GOODS TOO Low.-The result
of the mass meeting Of cotton manu-
facturers held in Charlotte, N. c., last
Tuesday, may be epitomized as fol-
lows:
There will be a national convention
of cotton goods manufacturers from
all sections of the country which will
be called in Washington, at which
time steps will be taken to curtail the
output Of manufactured cotton goods
until the price of cotton will make the
cotton mill business remunerative.
After being out half an hour the
committee returned and made the fol-
Lowing report:
with the view Of securing natural
curtailment which we think absolute
ly necessary, we recommend that a
committee of fifteen be appointed by
the chair to meet in Washington city;
that southern, northern and New Eng
land manufacturers be invited to ap-
I,oint a similar committee and that the
joint committees formulate a feasible
plan looking to the curtailment of pro-
duction throughout the United States
and that this joint committee immedi-
ately convene a national meeting of
manufacturers at such place and date
as they can agree upon"

South Carolina Well Represented OF
Congressional Committees.

South Carolina Well Represented on
Congressional Committees.
The appointment Of house commit
tees was announced by Speaker Can
non last Saturday, and it develops that
South Carolina has been especially well
taken care Of on the various committees
that will have consideration Of most
of the business that is likely to come
up from this state.
CONGRESSMAN David Edward Finley,
who is dean of the delegation, gets
the most important assignment, which
is on the committee Of Postoffices and
Post Roads. He Is retained on the
committee on Pacific railroads OF
which he has been member since
his entrance to congress.
Congressman Joseph T. Johnson Is
on the committees on Elections No. 8,
and War Claims.
Congressman Asbury F. Lever is on
the committee on Agriculture.

Manufacturers and Pensions.
Congressman George s. Legare Is
on Patents and Industrial Arts and
Expositions.
Congressman De Wyatt Aiken is on
Private Land Claims.
Congressman Robert B. Scarborough
Is on Public Buildings and Grounds.
While these appointments are hardly
to be regarded as desirable as those
of many other Democratic states. still
1t Is conceded that as a whole they are
the best that South Carolina has had
in the past ten years.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The county board Of commissioners
held its regular monthly meeting In
the office Of the supervisor last We'd
nesday. All of the members were
present.
Quite a number of accounts were
audited; but as the funds in the county
treasury are very low, only few were
ordered paid.
Mr.. M. G. Willis appeared before the
board as a representative Of the Com
mercial club of Yorkville, and asked
permission to be allowed to connect a
contemplated sewer from the club
rooms with the county's. sewer from
the court house. The commissioners
pay rental for sewer privileges under
the McCaw lot adjoining, and agreed
to grant the request Of Mr.. Willis on
condition that the Commercial club as
sumo the payment Of this rental and
also half the expenses of keeping the
sewer in proper condition.

On Tuesday night, this week, there

said. We certainly need sanitary laws
and their strict enforcement, and the
ladies are to be heartily congratulated
on the decidedly progressive step they
have taken. Let the men get together
and work for the Pure Food Act
and We shall not be very far from the
millennium.
Heavy transfers Of land in our
neighborhood have taken place re-

but to the city generally.

SOME Of the bull spectators are
talking 25 cents cotton and some OF
the mill men claim that the price Will
touch 10. cents before 1t ever goes to
IL. We do not think there is much
doubt Of the fact that the crop Is
short, and this is seemingly an un-
answerable bull argument; but on the
other hand because the price Of man.
ufactured products does not advance,
there is great danger Of a curtailment
of production, and this may operate
to decrease the demand for the raw
cotton. The situation is decidedly In
teresting; but just as much puzzle as
it has ever been.
