STEWART WANTS MORE POWER.
Washington. jan Ex-senator Stewart
(Nev-), who is conducting the coal in
vestigation before the committee of the
District of Columbia, today introduced
a resolution providing that the commit
tee shall be authorized to send for per
SONS and papers, administer oaths and
compel the attendance of witnesses.
Owing to the expense involved the res
oiution had to go to the committee on
contingent expenses of the senate. The
object of the resolution is to secure the
attendance of officers of the coal roads
and coal companies and to secure testi-
mony from dealers In the city who have
refused to answer questions. Senator
Steawrt intends to escure an early re
port from the committee. and to pass
the resolution If possible
PAYNE LOOKS FOR ACTION
Washington, Jan. r. Chairman
Payne said after the remark of SEN
ator Aldrich in the senate that the WAYS
and means committee would meet to-
morrow and consider the coal bills
Several bills have been referred to the
committee, some providing for a sus.
pnsion Of the duty for fixed neriod
removal of the duty without limit. Mr.
Payne said he thought the committee
would take some action rather for a sus-
pension of the coal duty or a rebate.

Governor Stanley. Pollock and Greene

The Crops.

The unfavorable conditions
which have prevailed the past two
weeks have done mnch to cut of
the cotton corp and also to Gu,
short the yield of late corn. The
dry weather and chilling winds
from the northwest HAYS been
most disasterous to the crops and
it is estimated by conservative
farmers that the cotton is cut off
from one fourth to a half from
what it promised three weeks ago.
Low lands have not been injured
SO badly and are free from the
rust and blight which has pravail-
ed in many upland fields. A good
rain would add greatly to the
betterment of conditions which
are now very unfavorable.

Lee County at the Worlds Fair.

In the business and hustle oil
the season let us not forget that
this is the time for us to prepare
to have the county properly repre-.
scented at the Worlds Fair at st.
Louis during the coming year.
We could furnish a most creditable
exhibit and proper steps should be
taken to have the county's re-
sources exhibited at the great fair.
A committee was appointed to look
after this matter but we are not
able 20 furnish a list of the names,
but the parties on the committee
are doubtless appraised Of the fact
and should begin to organize for
the work before them. Our re-
sources are above the average for
a farming and stock raising county
and during the fall and winter will
be the time whenspecimens should
be collected and made ready for
entry next spring. Those who
are on this committee should now
begin their work and give the
county an exhibit which would
prove an honor both to the people
ind themselves.

The South never had prospects
so bright for a long era of pros.
perity as exists at the present time.
The outlook for the crops is most
gratifying. There is a confidence
and hopefulness permeating the
whole section. The transportation
lines are taxed beyond their
facilities. The banks are steadily
increasing their deposits and every
trade and industry is feeling the
general impetus. Many believe
that the coming twelve months will
be the greatest year in the history
OF the south. Trade conditions
are good and there is nothing that
does not tell of prosperity. The
indications are that there will be
large cotton crop and that it will
be marketed around 9 to 10 cents
a pound. Cotton at this price
means great wealth to the South.
