Missing Letters from the File
Must be Produced in the
Supreme Court.

sen and Representative Lyon endeav-
ored to get the correspondence OF Mr.
]. S. Farnum, beer dispenser, from the
letter files in the Office at Charleston
SAYS the State of the 7th., they were
denied that right by Mr.. Farnum or
his representatives. However, the
members of the Legislative investlga-
ting committee had seen there enough
to stimulate their official curiosity and
they asked the chief justice Of the su-
preme court to give them rhe right to
lay hands upon the papers which they
were so eager to see.
The matter has drifted along since
last August, waiting for the supreme
court to meet and settle the legal
questions at issue. The court yester-
day handed down it's decree that Mr..
Farnum must have the letters here in
court next Monday, December 18th.
Members Of the committee last sum-
mer expressed the opinion that the
letters referred to contained some in
formation which would be of great
importance TO them in their efforts
TO get at the bottom of some rumors
that had been going the rounds. The
public will wait with interest the de-
velopments in the case. Following is
the full text of the order submitted
by the supreme court yesterday:
"The State, ex rel. J. T. Hay, J. F.
Lyon and Niels Christnsen, Jr., Pc
titioners-plaintiffs, VS.. James S. Far
mum, respondentdefendant.
"By an order heretofore made in
his case by the chief justice it was
referred to Jas. F. Izlar, Esq, as spe-
cial master, to take such testimony
as may be offered by the parties re-
spectively in the issues of fact pre-
sented by the pleadings and to re-
port the same to the court-together
with his conclusions of fact.
'fThe special master has submitted
the testimony taken but by agreement
of counsel omitted to report his con-
ciusions of fact. The main issue of
fact is whether the books, papers, let
tiers, vouchers and records removed
from dispensary No. I2 in the city
of Charleston, and nowin the possess
sion or under the control of the de-
fendant relate to the affairs Of the
dispensary or any officer, employe or
agent thereof, or exclusively TO the
private affairs of the defendant Aside
from. the presumption that such doc
uments kept in the dispensary related
to its business, there is practically no
testimony on the subject. The docu-
ments were not produced before the
master and opinions expressed by
witnesses in giving their testimony
cannot be accepted as determining
the; character of the papers.
'To the end therefore that the court
may be Informed as to the nature Of
all the books, papers, letters, vouchers
and records, taken by the defendant

Smith Says it is an Outrage.
Washington, December 8.-A
bulletin issued by the census bu-
reau today shows the number of
bales of cotton .ginned to December
I, 1905, to be 8,o84,842, counting
round bales as half bales. A pre-
vious report showed 7,498,167 bales
ginned to November II, 1905.
The amount of cotton ginned, by
States and Territories, is as fol-
lows:
Alabama 1,o66,728; Arkansas
422,813; Florida 65,455; Georgia
1861, ,o61; Indian Territory 24o,-
4o2 Kentucky 628; Louisiana 362,-
3o7; Mississippi 84o,72o; Missouri
3o,254; North Carolina 573,598;
|Oklahoma 23o,648; South Carolina
oo2,7o8; Tennessee 2o3,3S8; Texas
2,o75,oo3; Virginia 1900.
The above statistics were COM
piled from telegraphic reports Of
the special agents who. canvassed
the ginneries and it was announced
that they are subject to slight cor
rections until checked against the
individual returns of the ginners
through the mails. No report was
made for December I, 1904, and,
therefore, a comparison Of statistics
could not be made.
The statistics of this report in
clude 239,o34 round bales, and 3d.
2o3 sea island bales. The sea island
cotton is distributed by states as
follows:
Florida 1854; Georgia 41,6o2
South Carolina 1927.
St. George, December 8.-The
census bureau figures on cotton
just seen. This report is given on a
basis of 478 pounds, instead Of 500,
to the bale, as heretofore. If fig
ured on the old basis the crop would
be. 8,2o4,257, instead of 1864, 842.

Mrs. Chadwick Dealt In Precious
Stones to Fabulous Extent.
UNCLE SAM is STILL PROBING
Another Startling Affair In Connection
With CleveIand's Notorious Woman
Has Come to Liaht-5creditors Will
Likely Be Benefited.

Cleveland, Jan. 16.-The Plain Deal
CT today says: Investigation into the
charge that Mrs. Cassie l.. Chadwick
struggled large Quantities Of diamonds.
gems and other precious stones into
this country has developed the fact
that the woman dealt in precious
stones to an almost fabulous extent.
In order to make a case on the charge
OF smuggling. it was found necessary
for the government authorities to
trace all the deals for diamonds and
jewelry made by Mrs. Chadwick both
in this country and Europe.
Amounted to Over $25o,o00.
The statement has been made by
Collector OF Customs Leach that con-
siderably more than S250,000 worth Of
Jewelry and precious stones handled
by Mrs. Chadwick had been traced and
positively located. 1t is added that
this great amount of jewelry has been
incomplete. OF this amount, the gov
eminent is directly interested in about
one-third
While the government Is attempting
simply to collect any unpaid duties on
diamonds brought from Europe, 1t is
said that all the information secured
through the investigation will be
placed at the disposal Of Receiver
Nathan Loeser and that he will be
able to realize thousands of dollars
for the creditors of the woman.
Little Used as Collateral.
The investigation had led to the dis
covery that only very small portion
Of the precious stones and jewelry was
put up as collateral for loans made by
Mrs. Chadwick and that by far the
greater portion went as gifts to
friends and acquaintance.
The regular custom rate of duty on
diamonds and jewelry brought to this
country is 10 per cent of the value OF
the goods. Figuring on this basis, the
government authorities expect to real.
ize between $4,000 and $4,000. The
rest of the proceeds from the sale of
any jewelry on which duty has not
been paid will be turned over to Mr..
Loeser to be distributed among the
Chadwick creditors.
