CONTROVERSY ABOUT CASH.
President Jordan Wants Money and
Mr.. HYATT Refuses to Divide.

Judging from recent short but
spirited tilt between Mr.. +. H. Hyatt
of the South Carolina Cotton Growers
association. and President Harvie Jor-
dan, Of the general organization, In
which tilt Mr.. Jordan got worsted, the
Southern Cotton association, says
Columbia special, is in need Of funds
with none In sight and slim hope of
organizations are In the same mind as
any coming from the state organiza-
tions. particularly so II the other state
The, relations being now harmonious
the officers Of the. South. Carolina as
sociation are reticent about the AFFAIR,
but the information, comes direct, to
your correspondent and may be relied
upon, that President Jordan made a
demand on the state organization for
money. saying the $4,000 which came
from the bankers was practically all
gone, along with amounts contributed
by the Savannah, Augusta ana other
chambers of commerce. He directs
attention to the fact that the general
constitution provides that half Of all
contributions to a state Organization
shall go to the Atlanta Office, aud that
of the funds coming into the county
associations by assessment and other
wise half should go to the state organ
ization and half Of that to the general
office, and yet, he asserted, not one
cent has so far come from any state
organization. He demanded that the
states be more thoroughly organized
by counties, so that In every county the
name and postoffice address Of each
me mber might be available for assess
ment or circularization.
Every demand was refused, and Mr..
Jordan and members Of his stan were
reminded that the money from the
bankers came largely through the In
Smith, Weston and others Of the
South Carolina association, and the
chamber of commerce contributions
were the fruit Of efforts OF Mr.. Smith
to a great extent. South Carolina was
the best organized OF all the states,
but that fact was due to the. earnest
work of South Carolinians, and IL the
general office saw At to attempt to en-
force its demands the South Carolina
association would cut loose ana COM
Zine its work with the department Of
immigration and build up the agricult-
ural districts Of the state, not only
by a reduction Of the cotton acreage
but by means Of immigration and crop
diyersiflcation and a general agricul-
tural education campaign.
Although the state organization pro-
vided for an income from assessments
and allowed salaries OF $50 a month
each to Messrs. Weston and Hyatt and
800 month to Mr.. Smith, none Of the
South Carolina officers have drawn q
cent in salary. on the contrary not
only have these gentlemen made nu-
merous personal canvasses into vari-
Gus parts Of the state organizing the
sub b-associations, but their personal
friends and business associates have
contributed to the expense of the Co.
lumbia Office, which has received less
than $100 so far from all of the coun-
ty associations combined. nek

WHY COTTON Is RIsING.-On Decem-
ber 20 cotton sold for spot delivery al
81 cents per pound. A month ago. II
brought 81; week ago. So; yesterday
81, the highest, price since the crop
estimate of December g. This violent
rise Is variously explained. Diversion
of speculation from stocks to cotton
expert manipulation: adroit use Of the
rumors Of tampering with government
experts are among the various causes
assigned. To be thus successful, they
needed something more.
They had, first, the heavy European
buying. In the autumn of 1903, the
foreign spinners foresaw the shortage
with rare judgment, and our cotton
exports were the largest ever made
New England waited, and 1t was not
until the Sully corner was we'll under
way that 1t saw its mistake. To the
English buyers Of this season, 7-cent
cotton looked cheap after 17-cent cot
ton sixteen months before; they had
also, depleted stock and a rapidly
growing Eastern trade. Since Septem-
Der 1, they have taken 100000 bales
more than a year ago. Our spinners
moved more slowly; even in Wall
street, there was a disposition to look
for a 13,500,000-bale crop, and they
decided that waiting policy was the
wise one. They have thus far bought
no more than they did a year ago.
The question. still stands open. Who
wins? The American spinner may be
short" OF cotton, but the planter is
carrying huge amounts from last
years crop on borrowed money. 1t is
common Wall street predicament.
and one or the other must yield. Prob
ably developments In the growing crop
will settle the question.-New York

The Wet Season Of 1891.
Comparing the present unfavorable
season to the wet spring Of 1891, Mr..
G. r. Turner a few days ago said:
why, In 1891 started to harrow some
cotton with q Thomas harrow, and be-
fore / got good started 1t commenced
in the field and 1t was three weeks be-
fore we got back to 1t. The grass had
grown up through 1t until you could
not see 1t more than a few feet away.
After planted corn that spring 1t was
45 days before we could get into II
again. Lots Of people moved the hay
that grew in their cotton fields"
Condition Quite Critical. ....
The condition Of Mr.. P. G. McCorkle
who met with a serious runaway acci-
dent last Thursday a week ago, Is ex-
tremely critical. UP to last Friday
morning his friends were disposed to
be hopeful of his recovery; but since
then many of them have concluded
that the case Is worse than desperate
Watchers at the bedside. especially
since last Friday, have been fearing
that the end might come almost at
any moment Mr. B. N. Moore spent
last night In Chester, returning this
morning. He Is unable to say what
the outcome may be; but evidently
feels but little encouragement The
breathing Of the patient Is at times so
weak as to be hardly distinguishable,
Almost a Catastrophe.
The westbound freight train on the
Southern, No. 1877, had a narrow es-
cape from a serious disaster at Fish
ing creek yesterday. The axle Of one
Of the driving trucks gave way just
as the engine had gotten across the
trestle. The engineer felt something
giving away and applied the air brakes
Immediately. Help was summoned
from Blacksburg and Rock Hill. II
was quite q while before the trouble
could be located; but when the engine
was pushed forward a little the break
was found. The axle had snapped In
twain: but the broken ends had been
pulled back into position in the act OF
stopping. Fortunately the engine was
just starting up grade as the accident
occurred Otherwise the Inflated spot
might have been the scene Of another
disastrous wreck.
Poisoned by Jimson Weed.
The family Of Mr.. William Brown
near the Tavora Cotton mill, met with
strange adventure yesterday thai
came near resulting In the death OF
all its members. Shortly after dinner
everybody who had been at the table
became deathly sick with nausea, ac-
companied by vomiting. Nobody
seemed to know what the trouble was
DR.. w. G. White was telephoned for
and shortly after his arrival concluded
that poison had been administered in
some way and at once began to admin
lister antidotes. It developed that Mr.
Walker Brown, who suffers from asth-
ma, had been induced to inhale the
smoke Of jimson weed as a remedy
and he had undertaken to prepare the
weed by grinding it In the coffee mill
The mill was afterward used fol
grinding coffee for dinner, and in this
way the members of the family got a
dose Of the poisonous weed In their
coffee. For a time 1t looked as II Ave
members Of the family might die, but
since then all have recovered and are
out of danger.

ALONG THE RURAL ROUTES.
Life Among the People as Reported BY
the Mail Men.

THE ENQUIRER Is making arrange
ments with the r. F. D. carriers where
by these gentlemen will help US to keep
the people informed as to what Is go
ing on along the various rural routes
Quite a number Of these gentlemen,
including all the carriers out Of York
vile, have already promised their val
liable cooperation and we have reason
to believe that practically all OF them
will lend their assistance. The next
thing is to ask the patrons OF the res
pective routes for their cooperation In
giving the carriers such news as comes
under their observation. This news
should always be in writing, as the
carriers do not have time to listen to
verbal reports. The carriers will receive
and send In whatever Is given them,
and the editor will use his discrimina-
ton as to what to print and what not
to print. What Is wanted is merely a
plain statement Of each and every cir
cumstance that Is calculated to be OF
either neighborhood or general inter-
est.

- Columbia Record. June II: A new
weekly paper in Columbia will shortly
start either in Columbia or Charles
ton as a Republican daily. Nothing
can be learned of the hackers Of the
sheet and whether there will be an
afternoon or morning issue Of the
paper. 1t is known, however, that
I:this paper will be started and will
run three months first as a weekly
and thence be changed to daily.
The paper will not be the ordinary
southern Republican sheet, but well
edited and well balanced paper that
will be devoted to the upbullding OF
respectable Republican party In the
state. 1t is intimated that money for
the paper will come from the north
and that possibly no alliances will be
made with the present so-called lead
ers Of the G. o. P. If this Is the case,
there is no doubt but that there Is no
danger in the paper accomplishing its
purpose. They say that there will
always be the element In the party
that will keep out the many Demo-
Gratis who believe in Republican prin-
ciples and that the northern money
means that this element will stay In.
Just the same there have been a num-
ber of conferences recently about the
paper and there Is no doubt but that
some of the leaders are worried over
