At Bowling Green, Ky, recently an
important case was decided by Judge
Mckenzie in the Circuit Court. f..
A. Porter, citizen Of that city, had
life insurance policy in the Equi-
table for s., 900 and one in the New
York Life for the same amount. He
paid on each policy for FIVE years and
then let them lapse, and FIVE years
after they had lapsed and had been
laid aside as worthless, James D.
Hines, as trustee in bankruptcy of
Mr.. Porter, brought suit against the
companies for the paid-up value in
each case. The matter has been de-
cided in his favor, and he recovered a
judgment as trustee for $3.50 against
the Equitable and for sos against the
New York Life. This decision will
be Of interest to great many people,
and there will be general hunting up
Of policies which have lapsed ana
which have heretofore been consider
ed worthless.

A VICTORY FOR TIE COTTON MILLS.

The long expected decision Of the
State Railroad Commission in the petit
tion Of the cotton mills for relief from
discrimination by the railroads against
the port Of Charleston in favor of
Primers Point, the longer haul, the
effect Of which was to force shipments
in q direction which made natural
location to near port of no advantage,
thus keeping the New England Mills
in a position to compete with our
Southern Mills, located as they are in
the cotton fields, was made the 23rd
Of December last.
There were, Of course, other points
before the Commission, but our mills
were more particularly interested in
having the Commission fix uniform
rate within the borders Of the State,
and have fully and finally settled their
right to name the route Of their ship
ments, and the decision Of the Com
mission is clearly victory for the
mills. A uniform rate has been made,
the right to route shipments clearly
stated-which means that the rail
roads cannot change the routing
the mills are now in a position to ship
to Charleston at reasonable rate and
there negotiate freight rates with YES
sells willing to carry their manufac
tured articles to distributive ports in
other countries.
The mills did not secure what they
had hoped. The decision was in the
nature of compromise, but what has
been accomplished in all probability
means great deal for the mills Of this
State. Sales heretofore have been
based largely upon the freight rate to
New York, which is So cents per hun
dred. 1t remains now to be seen,
whether with a 1ate Of 90 cents per
hundred to the port of Charleston,
rates to be negotiated with vessels to
distribution points will no tgive our
mills an advantage over New England
Mills, increase the demand from all
sections abroad and rapidly carry mill
building in this State to point where
she will lead every State in the Union.
1t is only just to say that what has
been accomplished by the mills in this
matter has been, in large measure,
due to the efforts Of the mill prcsi-
dents in Anderson County, Capt. 4.
A. Smythe, Jas. L. Orr and J. \.
Brock. 1t is only just to them, also,
to state that while the Commission
fixed the responsibility Of shipments
not going to Charleston upon the
shoulders of the shippers, it is never
theless fact that not until the mills
entered upon this fight were circulars
issued by either of the railroads
authorizing or instruoting shipments
via Charleston.

Among the many troubles that Cuba
has to contend with is a conrtant fric-
tion between the white elem aat, native
and foreigner, on the one side, and
the negro and mulattocs on the other.
There is prospect that race war
will be the result Of this increasing
antipathy, and the annexation Of the
island to the United States would
certainly be fastened by such an oc-
currcnce. The leaders Of the whito
population in Havana are bringing
pressure to bear or President Palma
to restrain him from giving social
recognition to tho negroes, and it
is said that serious conflict will
surely be the result if the races are
mixed at the presidents receptions.
The negroes, On the other hand,
threaten to attack the executive man
sion if they are excluded from the
official receptions there.

Col. August Kohn, the genial and
energetic Columbia correspondent Of
the News and Courier, who recently
visited nearly every cotton mill in the
State, is now publishing a series Of
articles in that paper on mill condi-
tions in this State. He got his facts
from direct contact with the mill
operatives themselves, and not from
what presidents or superintendent
told him. These articles will prove
highly interesting to everybody, and
they III fully sustain the statement
quoted from the News and Courier
that is, "that the conditions in the
mills in this State do not require
child legislation at this time We
hope every member of the Legislature
will read these articles carefully, for
they can certainly rely on every state
mcnt that Col Kohn makes as being
the truth aud nothing but the truth.
