HOWL FOR COTTON
Urgent Demands By New
England Mills.
Teiegrams to Charlotte For Quotations
For Immediate Delivery Meets
Reply, Farmers Want Sell at
Present Prices.
Especial to News and Observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Charlotte, N. c., March 3.-Several
prominent cotton merchants of Char
lotte today received kilograms from
Theodore Price asking for lowest quo
tations on cotton for immediate deliv-
cry in New York 1t is understood
that Mr.. Price has sent inquiries of a
similar nature throughout the South
in the hope of securing enough spot
cotton to furnish the urgent demands
now being made on the New York
cotton merchants by the mills of New
England.
The merchants Of this city without
exception wired Mr.. Price that, owing
to the fact that the farmers refused
even to consider the present prices
for their cotton, it would be impoS-
sible for them to consider any prop
osition that he might make for inn
mediate delivery of cotton in New
York.
There will be a large meeting in
this city of cotton growers and OF
adjoining counties tomorrow.
The feeling is unquestionably one
of sympathy with the farmers move
ment. and resolutions will be passed
at the meeting tomorrow sanctioning
the action of the New Orleans con-
Vention and reaftiHming the determi-
nation to continue holding cotton for
ten cents.

marion News.l

Somewhat of a sensation was pro-
duced in court Saturday morning when
the grand jury filed their report and It
was read. After reading the report,
a part of which follows below, several
members of the bar expressed in very
strong language their indignation at
the state of things disclosed by the re-
port. 1t was stated that the condition
of things was a great deal worse than
was stated in the report 1t seems
that the grand jury at last August
term reported the condition of affairs
at the County Home and Judge Neal
required the County Commissioners to
take steps to remedy it. Furniture
was bought and things were cleaned
up by last term of court and grand
jury found everything all right then.
After the clerk read the report Judge
MCNEIL ordered the grand jury to re-
main in session to await the solicitor,
who was expected on the morning
train When the solicitor arrived he
was informed as to the nature of the
report and he Immediately sent bills
of Indictment against L. A. Chapman,
Il. s. Ledbetter and j. G. Crawford,
the County Commissioners, and Tobe
Morgan, kecper ofsthc County Home,
and true bills were found against
them.
The part of the grand jurys report
relating to the County Home is as fol-
lows:
1--WE have also visited and examin-
ed the County Home and found it in
as bad condition as is possible We
lind the buildings all badly arranged,
which is liable to result in the destruc-
ton of the entire possession and also
causes the premises to be very filthy.
We find that the white and coioreG
paupers are kept together. We find
that one negro man. who is insane, is
liable to burn the entire possession
at any time. Although we have no
charges to bring against Mr.. Morgan.
the keeper, as he is doing the best
he possibly can under the circumstan-
ces as the rates are too small to give
better attention, it being. only $4.90
per head. We, the grand Jury in body,
do hereby condemn the policy OF SELL
ing out the aged and infiFm to the
lowest bidder.
We also find that the little farm be-
longing to the county is too small and
will not produce over fifty bushels OF
corn. We recommend that a better
farm be provided for this purpose"
In explanation of the part of the re-
port that says, "As bad as can pos
sibly be-" one of the grand jury after
wards stated that a young white man
and an old negro man were roomins
together and that a young white girl
and a negro woman were also room
ing together; thai there was no furni-
poorest negro cabin in the county was
ture amounting to anything; that the
better furnished; that if any chairs
and other furniture were purchased
since last August it was not there now;
that everything was filthy. and that it
was a disgrace to the county to re-
quire the poor to live under such con-
ditions.

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL.
Sibiey Attacks Burton About This
Measure and CaIoPic Develops.

Washington, March 3.-The last
days session of the House before the
final adjournment of the Fifty-eighth
Congress at noon tomorrow found that
body almost through with it's work of
disposing of conference reports on the
great supply measures of the govern
ment and a few measures of more or
less public importance.
The only subject which gave rise
to any consideral debate was the con-
ference report on the River and Har-
Dor bill, in the course of which Mr..
Sibley, of Pennsylvania, attacked
Chairman Burton for being prejudiced
against a free conference on the ques
ton of State aid in the improvement
of the Delaware River below PhiIa-
delphia. Messrs. Adams and Morrell,
his colleagues from Pennsylvania,
joined in the attack the latter declar-
ing that unless the House receded
from it's position two Senator'S would
talk the bill to debate. Mr. Burton
vigorously defended his attitude and
said that if the Pennsylvania dele
satlon wished to take Cne reSpOnoI-
bility of defeating the bill they could
do so. BY an overwhelming vote the
House refused to agree to a motion
by Mr.. Sibley to concur in the Senate
amendments and the bill was sent
back to conference.
The conference reports on the In
dian and Postofice Appropriation
bills were agreed to, which action
finally passed both measures.
The conference report on the Naval
Appropriation bill was called up by
Mr.. Foss Gid and in so far as an
agreement had been reached, the re-
port was agreed to.
Mr.. Foss then moved to concur in
the Senate amendments relating to an
increase in the Marine Corps of 1900
officers and men.
The motion was opposed by Messrs.
Rixey (Vo.) and Williams (Miss.)
Mr.. Williams said that the object of
the amendment was to enable men-of
war to gather around islands in a
chaotic condition and land the
marines ''for the purpose of enforcing
the dignity of the United States in
the way of making the people pay
debts they owe somebody in Europe
or the United States"

AN INTERVIEW WITH LEE.
Who Talks of the Exposition Com
memOrating the Settlement at
Jamestown.
CBv the Associated Press J

Washington, March 3.-General
Fitzhugh Lee, president of the James
town Exposition Company, when
asked about the bill which passed
both houses of Congress on Thursday
said:
THE act provides for the holding
on the waters of Hampton Roads in
commemoration of the first perma-
nent settlement of English-speaking
people on the American continent
made at jamestown. Va, in 1907 OF
an exposition differing from any in
the worlds hiStory-itS distinctive fea-
lures being naval. marine and milf
tary, participated in by the navies and
armies of foreign countries and the
militia of the states, and covering a
period of about six months, May TO
November, 1907. The President is
directed to make due proclamation of
the celebration and to invite the par
ticipation of other nations and OF the
several states. The management OF
the celebration is vested in board
composed of the secretaries of the
Treasury, War and Navy.
"This celebration will draw closer
together all sections of our common
country in a great fraternal commem-
Grafton of its birth. on the historic
waters of Hampton Roads where the
Merrimac and Monitor met in their
death gra~ pie; close to the field on
which CORVALLIS laid down his arms
and near those historic backgrounds.
which nearly a century later were the
scenes of some of the most heroic
battles of modern times.
IF it be asked how the act affects
the jamestown Exposition Company S
proposed industrial exposition on the
land, the answer is that the holding
by the United States government OF
such a celebration at the same place
and during the same period as our
land exposition assures us an attend
ance such as no other exposition has
had, with the possible exceptions of
Chicago and st. Louis. The bill as
reported to the House made provision
for an appropriation in direct aid OF
the exposition on land, but finding
that we could not get a rule for its
hearing and fearinc that the sentl-
ment in favor of the present economy
made it doubtful whether we could
secure the necessary two-thirds vote
to suspend the rules. it was decided
to omit this feature from the pending
bill. It is hoped that the next Cong
ress will provide for a government
building and a domestic and colonial
exhibit, including especially exhibits
relating to the life saving service, the
revenue cutter service, the public
health and marine hospital service,
the army and navy. the light house
service and the Bureau of Fisheries.
1t is also hored that. as the white.
black and red men first met at James
town, the government will aid in ex-
hibiting at our exposition the prog
ress of these three races during the
three centuries that have since
elapsed"

RIVERS AND HARBORS
This Bill Causes Some Warm Oral
Passages in the House, and the
Pure Food Bill Takes Back
S e at in The Sen
ate.
lBv the Associated Press J

Washington, March 3.-The Senate
found itself today far less pressed than
usual on the last day of the session of
Congress. All the appropriation bills
having been passed, the session was
given up largely to general legislation
and when necessary, to conference re-
ports on appropriation bills. During
the day final reports were presented
and adopted on the Naval, the Post
office. the Indian and the Sundry Civil
bills, leaving only. the River and Har-
Dor and the General Deficiency bills
to be considered in their final stages.
During the day the Pure Food bill
was definitely displaced, and a sharp
colIoquy over the incident occurred
between Messrs, McCumber and
Lodge.
The joint resolution continuing in
force the present law applicable to
the Panama Canal zone was unani-
mously adopted, but not until after
several Senators had expressed them
selves in frank language concerning
the attitude of the House, to which
they attributed the failure of the con-
ference on the bill
German Censures the House.
Mr. German characterized the at
titude of the House to the confereeS
as most remarkable. He said:
''It is my judgment that it is abso-
lutely necessary ta the proper conduct
of the public. bass essg that the Senate
should adhere to it's position and pro-
tect itself, as it may under parliamen-
tary law, in order to protect the i'm
portance of the two houses" To agree
to the demand of the House would, he
said, be shameful in the extreme.
Mr. Overman asked whether under
the present law the President could
build a sea level canal. and Mr..
Spooner answered in the negative,
adding that the act had contemplated
a lock canal and that no President or
commission could change that plan
without consulting Congress.
Among the bills taken up was one
making it a crime to send the boil
weevil and other insect pests through
the mails. Mr. Latimer, in charge of
the bill, said that the curiosity of
some farmers to see the boil weevil
was so great that they were having
them sent by mail for inspection. On
objection by Mr.. McCumber the bill
went over.
The bill authorizing the appoint
ment as naval officers of three young
men now dismissed from the Naval
Academy in 1903 for hazing was de-
bated as some length. Mr.. Daniels
presented it and Mr.. Carmack OPP
posed it.
Pending consideration of the bill
the Senate took a recess until $3.50

Lettuce Very Backward.
(Wilmington Messenger.) }

Truckers report that the lettuce
crop in. this section is very backward
and where it has been placed on the
market heretofore about March 1st
none of it will be ready for shipments
this year before April 1st. This state
of affairs has been brought about by
the cold weather which prevailed dur
ing the latter part of January and first
of February and is very unfortunate
for the truckers. The prices quoted on
lettuce at the present time are very
high owing to there being very little
on the markets the Florida crop being
badly damaged by the cold weather.
The lettuce crop in the vicinity of Nor
folk will be ready for the market
about the same time as that from this
section which means that the prices
will be low.

MR.. ROLLINS MAKES DENIAL.
No Meeting of Republicans Anent
Jobs, Says He.

The News and Observer is in receipt
of the following telegram from Mr.
ThoS. S. Rollins, chairman of the Re
publican State Executive Committee
with reference to an article in Sun
days issue relative to a meeting of
Republicans with respect to certain
Eastern district appointments:
Marshall, n. c., March 2.
Editor News and Observer, Raleigh,
N. G..
My attention has just been called
to the article in last Sundays edi-
tion of your paper in which you stated
that a conference was recently held
in Raleigh between Mr.. Holton, Mr..
Blackburn and myself relative to GER
tain Federal appointments in the
East. You were evidently misin-
formed. No such conference was held
in Major Grants room or anywhere
else. / would have made this COR
rection sooner but l have been busily
engaged in the trial of some impor-
tant cases and it escaped my attention.
"THOS. S. ROLLINS"
The information was obtained from
Mr.. Claude M. Bernard, ex-District
Attorney and for years a very promi-
nent man in Republican politics in
the State. Mr.. Bernard, Mr.. Black
burn and others came out of Major
Grants room late at night and it was
Mr. Bernard who gave the information
which was afterwards published in the
Sunday mornings paper. The leaders
were here. there was a meeting in the
air, it looked like a meeting and Mr.
Bernard said it was meeting.
