nearly s2.ss.00 Instead Cg the State being that
much richer II is ~ reality some 800 poorer be-
cause the justices granted Two OF the defendants

OF course there are two sides to the
proposition now under consideration IN
the senate looking to the regulation
Of the sale Of seed cotton and cotton
seed. It sometimes happens that
farmer finds it more convenient to sell
a remnant of a cotton crop in the seed
than to have it ginned, and under
such circumstances he would esteem
It a hardship not to be allowed to sell
to a neighbor in case there is no IL
censed buyer accessible. Also the reg
ulation requiring licenses Is calcuta-
ted to reduce competition and enable
a licensed buyer, where he happens to
be the only one accessible, to fix his
own prices. But on the other hand
there is no way of even approximate
ly estimating the losses Of farmers at
the hands Of petty thieves who are
able to steal and market a hundred or
so pounds Of seed cotton at a time.
The rents Of large plantations are fire.
quently dissipated in this way, and 1t
sometimes happens that the thieves
are able to continue their robberies
for years without being detected. If
cotton seed and seed cotton buyers
were required to have themselves reg
istered in accordance with the terms
Of the act under consideration, and
also to keep a complete record Of ail
transactions made by them, it is quite
probable that the general effect would
be for the best interest Of the honest
producers Of these commodities.

bed various postoffices. had prelimi-
nary trial this week. he hearing was
had on Tuesday and Wednesday, and
as the result Of it the United States
commissioner decided that the four
men should be held on bonds Of $4,000
each. They will be tried at the next
term Of the United States district
court which convenes in Charleston in
April. The postoffice inspectors who
worked up the case had a good deal of
circumstantial evidence against the
men in the shape of burglar tools,
large sums of money and various sus-
picious articles, found in their posses
soin. To the postoffice inspector, who
interviewed each Of the men separate
ly, Howard claimed that he was en-
ployed in Grants restaurant at a sal
ary of $25 per month, but that he was
able to live well because he had been
sent $4,000 last summer. Dugan as
serted that he is an Australian by
birth, but has been before the mast for
several years and now lives as much
in Alexandria, Va, as in any other
point. He had been in Columbia two
months when arrested. He was a
