''The agitation for an election to
include the suburb of Brookland, in
Lexington county, into Columbia has
not died out, and it is expected that
q formal petition will be presented in
a few days. There is some opposition
on this side of the river now, how
ever, on the ground that it would
mean great deal of expense to this
city just at present; although the
city could get most Of the money
back in time from taxes. Just now
when the city needs q lot of money
for the waterworks and other i'm
provements and it would be neces-
sary to equip the entire suburb with
water plants, q fire station, electric
lights and other improvements. UN
LESS THE TOWN WOULD BE WILLING TO.
WAIT UNTIL THEIR SHARE OF THE
TAXES PAID FOR IT, THE IMPROVEMENTS
WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED BY THE c1TI'
zENs HERE-Columbia Evening Rec
ord:
So there was s'niRger in the wood
pile' after all. The Record wants to
use the people of Brookland as cats
paws to pull it's cbestnuts out OF
the fire. It has rang out its Mace
donian cry, "Come over the river, oh,
ye taxpayers of Brookland, bringing
your tithes witt you, and help Us
out, and then in the fullness of time,
when Gabriel shall blow his horn, We
will give you ''electric lights and
other improvements. A burnt child
breads fire and the people Of Brook
land are content to endure the evils
that they know of rather than to flee
to those that they known not OF, and
it is we'll for them that they have so
decided.

CHECKED THE SHARP ADVANCE
Cotton Values Went the Other Way
Yesterday,

The steady and continued advance
in cotton values, which has marked the
progress of the market for ten days
past, received a check yesterday morn
ing, when the market advanced back
ward rather than forward. The loss in
futures was considerable and spot cot
ton in the Americas markyt felt the eff
feet as we'll, the best offerings for spots
be ng around the 100 mark. Local cot
ton men believe the check is only tenn
porary, however, and may be brought
about by the pending publication of
she G1nners and Government reports,
due today and tomorrow respectively.
L Is rare indeed that Bureau report
ever causes the market to advance, and
while it may do so in this instance
there~is, nevertheless, an element of
uncertainty about it, Cotton is more
than ever king at present, and while
there may be temporary reactions IN
values, it will bring a higher level of
prices ere long.

RETURNS FOR SUPERIOR COURT
SmsII Amount of Litigation at the Fall
Session

When Sumter superior court con-
venes on 9th inst, Judge Littleiohn
will take up the lightest civil docket
that has been made up here in many
years. Yesterday was return day for
this court, but the amount of bust
ness was infinitessimal, Only eight
cases were filed for record and num-
Der of these were negro divorce
case, all of which can be dis
posed of in a few hours. The great
bulk of business, it appears, is being
transferred from the superior to the
city court, where trial can be had
quicker by virtue of the more frequent
sessions. With light criminal dock ct,
too, the next session of court here will
bs remarkable for brevity.
