Cotton in the State.
Farmers Still Holding the
Staple for Better Prices.

Columbia special in Charles
ton Post: A great amount
OF cotton is still being held
throughout the State for better
prices, but it is impossible TO
accurately estimate how much.
Money has been tight all over
the State on this account, though
recently the country banks have
been calling these loans and
much cotton had TO be released.
Most of the cotton in the ware
houses in the cities is being held
tor the mills and is not to be pnt
on the market, but still greater
Quantities are being held in the
farm yards by individuals.
There are nearly 1000 bales
OF cotton in Colum bia, but less
than 10000 bales of this will he
sold, the remainder being held by
the mills. About 5000 bales are
being held for sale at Green
wood, it is said.
But many farm yards, particu-
larly in the up country, are COW
cred with cotton. A Colum bian
in Anderson last week reports
seeing l 500 bales at one iarm
about ID miles from the town.
That's about $75 900 worth of
cotton. Maj. r. M. Pegues near
Cheraw. has 725 bales lying IN
his ard. A Florence man has
400 bales

liams, Miss Eloise Foster, Miss

Miss Ola Culp and MISS Iona

E. w. Robertson, president of
the National Loan & Exchange
Bank and of number Of other
Columbia enterprises and inter-
ested as director in a number of
cotton mills throughout the
State, was on the stand TODAY.
He corroborated the testimony
OF L.. w. Parker, given yesier
day, as TO Samuel j. Lanahan
having Director Boykin as his
State middleman, but there was
a decided difference as to what
Lanahan said about having a
middleman now who is a State
officer but not connected with
the dispensary. Mr.. Parker said
Mr.. Lanahan's statement was
made in New York in the pre-.
sence of Mr.. Robertson, but Mr..
Robertson did not remem ber
this and thought Mr.. Parker must
have been mistaken as to this
point. The committee yesterday
did not Insist on Mr.. Parker
giving the name, although the
Supreme Court had just ruled
that he could be compelled. to
answer questions.
Governor Hayward this morn
ing sent a letter to the attorney
general saying:
Dear Sir: l see thro ugh the public
prints that, as a resultof the ruling
OF the Supreme Court, evidence
was produced before the investi
eating committee charging for
mer members of the board of
directors of the dispensary with
malfeasance and corruption in
the discharge of their official du-
ly. L direct this matter to YOUR
attention to the end that Won
promptly cause such prosecution
/" be Instituted as shall be prop

Contractor Davis went back
on the stand this afternoon. He
testified that eX-Chairman Evans
told h m that the Newberry
delegation was lukeWa.m on the
occasion OF his reelection but
that he fixed" them all, and
bought 'em mighty cheap. Evans
said he bought Senator Blease
by employing him as his attor.
ney and that he paid for the
balance and got 'em at bargain
prices.
DR. Mcintosh, of the Newberry
Savings Bank, was on the stand
this afternoon, but ne had a
poor memory aud Mr.. Lyon did
not get much ouj of him. He
said Evans never did have a
cent on deposit in his bank in
his own name and he was not

Pay SIN all Billie.

There is far too much negligence
everywhere about the small amounts
Of money. 1t not uufr' quentiy hap,
pens that men will have a small
amount charged when they have suf.
ficient money In their pockets to pay
it, and subject the creditor to the
trouble Of sending 1t for collection
when he needs it, taking the chances
of learning that the debtor Is away
from his place Of business or from
home and perhaps suhjsct'ng him 70
the imputation of being In a needless
hurry for paym mt. More attention
TO this point, and especially by those
to whom the payment is i'm material,
who can pay at one time as we'll as
another, would be vast impr've-
nent on the present mo6e of many
persons In doing business. The
prompt payment Of small bills Is a
