reenville News.

ct, farmers are in the air, and
while they are refusing to sell at
prevailing prices there is no direct
ntimation that the plan to reduce
the acreage will be put into effect
in all Of the producing States.
Many plans have been suggested.
Some tools over in Georgia have
undertaken to burn part of t he
crop, but they did not even scorch
themselves by the little bonfire.
G. S. Webb, manager for the
Southern mills in the Piedmont
section for lman & Company,
makes the sensible suggestion of
holding part of this years crop
and reducing the acreage next
spring oue-forth. Much of the
amount held today VIII have TO be
thrown on the market, but there
will be no use to hold and plan
big crops for the coming year.
The effect of that would be 10 drive
the present price down to lower
figure, with no hope of better
prices for the future crop.
In speaking of The outlook, Mr.
Webb said:
"Iffarmcrs will hold million
to million and half bales of
this crop aud will reduce their
acreage next year one fourth they
should get at least s to 8 cents for
the reminder Of this crop aud
probably more than that for next
years crop. think the mills,
factories and bankers would bewil
ing to store cotton for the farmers
and advance them, say six cents
pound on cotton stored shall be
sold. l do not think it a wise
idea for the farmers and merch-
ants who have cotton on hand now
to try to hold all of il, as that
would be impossible, but it is not
impossible for them to hold from
million TO million and half
bales.
''lf the farmers of the South
plant as much cotton as they did
last year they will not receive
over five cents pound for the re-
mainder of this crop and probably
lower than that for next years
crop.
"ln 1898 the south raised a
crop of eleven and one.fourth
million bales and we had million
bales surplus at that time which
gave us over twelve and one
fourth million bales. The first of
September, 1904, the world was
practically bare of cotton. We
had very little surplus on hsnd.
Now admit that this crop will be
twelve and one-fourth million
bales. The world Will take over
eleven million bales of our cotton.
Say the farmers reduce the acre
age next year one-forth, or enough
to raise about ten million bales
II they do this ! do not see any
reason why they should not re-
ceive from to 10 cents for the
remainder Of this crsp and next
years crop. In 1898 good cotton
sold as low as 5 cents, but you
must remember that everything
else was cheaper. Farmers could
afford to raise cotton that year
TWO cents pound cheaper than
they can now. Meat was five
cents q pound; flour three to
three and half dollars a barrel,
and everything else lower In pro-
portion. Now meat is 8 to 1OI
cents pound and -four Ave to
seven dollers u barrel and every
ing else higher In proportion.

"Wednesday mornimg, March ist OF
Willfam 3. Skiauacre in the 56tiryear
OF his age.
He was the 6f Wrn. B. and Har-E
gict Bond SlsidFnoUe Of New York City,.
by profession he was a lawyer, and for
scsne gears prectised In New York in
partnership with his brother, Lemuel'
SkIdnlOre. Poor health compelled daaiml
to retire from the practice Of his pro-
fession, and has since prevented him
from entering into actiwe work of ang
kind.
Mr. Skidmoue newer took amy lead
ing part In politics, but his Interest in
political matters were real, and his
knowledge OF public affairs both ma
tional and local was comprehensive.
in Church aflliation ne was a Metho-
dist. He married Julia Cobb, daagh-
teroE Geo. T. Cobb, formerly Mayor Of
Morristown. Mrs. Skidmore died sew
eral years ago, and he has never fully
recovered from the blow OF his wife s
death. They had several children all
of whom died in infancy Mr.. Skid
more was man of deepest sympathy
for any In trouble, and a generous con-
tribator to most OF the charities here
represented, including these in which
his wife was Interested in her life
time and many cases OF Individual
need.
At the time of his death he was a
director Of the Morristpwn Trust Co.,
president OF the Morristown Field
Club, governor Of the Morris 90. Golf
Club, and a member of the Norris
town Club and OF the University Club
Of New York City. In these associa-
tions his interest and personal atten-
tion to all matters referred to him was
fully appreciated. He was man OF
rare sweetness of character combined
with strength and with unusual dis
cernment and breadth of view. His
Judgments were carefully formed and
views Of men most charitable, but he
had no patience with insincerity. His
opinions we're much sought after
among the many men associated with
him from time to time In business or
social matters, and his Judgment car
ried great weight.
In manner he was always courteous
and kind and true gentlemen of the
olden school, and while OF late years
because Of his retiring disposition and
i'll health, he was not known intimate
" by very many, his influence for the
good, the pure, the generous, the
noble viii be sorely missed in this
community.

SEWAGE ACT INVALID.

Court DecIares-Pr Proposal to Empty In
N. y. kay UnconstItntional
The Court Of Errors and Appeals de-
Observation-Disclosures on Monday the
act Of 1908, under which New Jersey
proposed to empty the sewage Of the
Passaic Valley into New York bay, by
M cans of a trunk sewer, the estimated
cost of which was between $s, ,O0O, 900
and $40, 900, 600. Ten judges voted to
reverse and one Judge Cray to affirm
the Supreme Court, which declared
the act constitutional. The fatal de-
feet Of the act, as stated in the opinion
of Justice Garrison, is in relation to
the method ii provides for levying
taxes to meet the cost Of construction
and maintenance.
The act provided that this should
be done by commission appointed by
the governor, and the court holds this
to be unconstitutional because il is an
attempt to delegate an essential ele-
ment of the power of taxation, be-
cause, If the taxing power could be
deemed to be granted to the commits
sion as the representative Of the sew
erage district, the latter is not politi-
cal district OF the State, not being
invested with any function Of local
goyernment,and because, if the Passaic
Valley sewerage district were politi-
cal district Of the State, it could not
be invested with the power to tax per-
sons and property beyond its own linn
its. The decisions sustains the con-
tent ion made by exc Governor Griggs.
