Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co., Look
For 100000 Bales.

The firm of Latham, Alexander &
Co., of New York, is one of the most
and reliable cotton COM
firms in the country. This
firm does not try to bull or bear the
market as do Theodore H. Price and
other gamblers, but seeks only to get
the facts and spares no. expense to that
end. Annually at about this season 1t
issues a carefully prepared estimate.
This years estimate has just been is
sued under date of November 90, and
is as follows:
After the receipt of the most exhaus-
tive information, possible to obtain
from reliable and intelligent cores
pondents by letter and telegram, COW
ering every cotton growing county In

States for l905-1906.

THE dispatches indicate that Turkey
is assuming a particularly resentful at
titude toward the European powers for
the present interference with Turkish
affairs. Prominent Turkish subjects
refer ito the manifest improperly of
Russia having anything to do with
such a move, when, they say. Russia
should instead be regulated for permit
ting such wholesale massacres OF the
Jews. 1t is the apparent disposition of
the Turks to allow the powers to go
Oh with their demonstration and II
necessary to defy the whole Of Europe.
Germany continues to stand aloof from
the other powers and to side with the
Turks.

THIS whisky business has got to re-
duce itself down to something and as
we see it there Is nothing better than
the license Of private individuals un-
der dispensary regulations. But what
ever plan may be finally agreed upon,
we sincerely hore that the general as
sembly will never again try to author
ize the sale Of whisky in any county
without the consent Of majority of
the qualified voters. State or county
control is impracticable because Of too
much opportunity for graft. The indi-
viduals who hold licenses will enforce
such laws as may be made for their
protection.

H. H. EVANS is quoted as saying
that the closing of the dispensaries In
ten or a dozen counties has not SER
iously affected the volume of business
that Is being done by the state ma
chine. He asserts that the ship
ments from Columbia one day a few
days ago aggregated s3s.OOO, the larg-
est single days shipment in the his
tory of the institution. If this be true
then 1t will be the best thing to cur
tail the business down to single
county, and maybe the sales will still
further increase. Anyhow the expert
ment will prove quite interesting.

Che aturkrille enquirer.
YoRKvILLE, S. c.:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER "a. 1909.

AS we understand it the order
signed by Chief Justice Pope Wednes-
day, means that the constitutionality Of
the Brice law will come before the su-
preme court on it's convening IN De-
cember and will probably be settled
at once. If the supreme court should
decide the Brice law unconstitutional
then all the dispensaries that have
been closed by majority votes of the
respective counties will be re-opened'
and chaos will follow. On the other
hand, If the cons;itutionality of the
Brice law is sustained, the whole dis
pensary system will fall with a crash.

consumption from 1.4S3,711 to 2.14O,
151 bales. an increase Of 656, ,440 bales.
During these five years the northern
cotton consuming establishments have
actually decreased their consumption
by 1886 bales. This Is explained by
the fact that these mills have been
engaged during this period in repiac-
ing old machinery by that which Is
more modern thus increasing the etti-
cheney of their plants and the fineness
of the yarns spun without making
very large in crease in the number
of spindles.

THE CIRCUIT COURT.

The court Of general sessions has
been making rapid inroads into the
calendar during the week; but there
are still a number of cases to be dis
posed Of and the outlook now Is that
the docket will not be entirely cleared
before next Tuesday or Wednesday.
1t Is now settled that the jurors re-
Gently drawn for the week commence
ing December will not be served, and
there will be no business that week.
Instead, after next week the court will
take a recess for one week, adjourning
from day to day until the 18th. and one
or two more venires having been drawn
in the meantime. Calendar l will be
taken up, and the work will continue
with Judge Hydrick presiding until
everybody interested Is satisfied to
quit.
The reason for adjourning over the
week beginning December 4, Is be-
cause nearly all Of the members Of the
bar have business before the supreme
court and they cannot be at both places
at the same time. 1t was suggested
that Calendar l might be taken up af-
ter the sessions docket Is disposed Of
next week: but that Is deemed imprac-
ticable for the reason that the criminal
business may not be out of the way be-
fore Wednesday, and as Thursday Is
Thanksgiving day. there would be only
two days for the first case which at
former trial consumed five days.
The situation Is generally regarded as
rather awkward; but under the cir
cumstances there Is nothing to do but
to take matters as they are and be
governed accordingly.
In the case of Wash Robinson,
charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill, the jury returned ver-
dict of guilty of assault and battery Of
a high and aggravated nature, and the
defendant was sentenced to pay a fine

The necessary petition for a Brice
law election on the dispensary question
has been filed with the supervisor Of
Laurens county. The election will no
doubt be held; but the date has not
yet been fixed.
"A Brice law election was held in
Williamsburg county last Tuesday.
UP to Wednesday afternoon returns
had been reported from all but three
small boxes and the no dispensary side
was 64 votes ahead. The probability is
that the dispensary has been voted out.
Citizens of Blacksburg and vicin-
ity are signing a petition to the gov
ernor asking for the location Of state
constable In that neighborhood to help

lers. The petition sets forth that the

to do anything as against the distillers.

Columbia special Of November 22
to News and Courier: There Is just

tary of s:ate an old. lease for one
square mile Of some Of the land was
found. The lease is dated September,
1916. The description refers to gum

doubt long since died, but there may
be a copy of the plat on file In the Of

by Jacob Scott, captain, on the part OF
the Catawba Indians; and by Samuel
S. Workman, who accepted the lease

LATHAM, ALEXANDER & co.
A Brice law election is to be held
in Anderson county tomorrow. There
was a rally of the diSpensary forces
i'm Anderson court house yesterday.
The meeting was attended by about
$50 people. Speeches in favor of
retaining the dispensary were made
by Mayor J. NJ. Sullivan, X. +. Lyon,
president of the Gluck cotton mills,
J. Belton Watson, member of the
house of representatives j. l.. Jack
son. former member of the house, f.
NJ. Rucker. Jr., member of the house
r. w. Simpson. chairman of the
board of trustees Of Clemson college,
and ]. f. Breazeale, former member
of the house. The most prominent
argument advanced against voting out
the dspensary was that prohibition
could not be enforced in the county,
that the blind tigers would become in
tOlerable. The belief was expressed
generally that the dispensary law
could be perfected and shorn of its
corrupt features. The meeting was
presided over by S. n. Pearman,
former member of the house of rep
resentatives. Mr.. A. M. Carpenter
acted as secretary.
