Cotton.

Columbia, January 31.-The county
presidents of the Southern Cotton AS
sociation met at their Office in the
Loan and Exchange bank building last
night. State President E. D. Smith
was absent, having left yesterday
morning for Texas on business per-
tanning to the office Of national organ
izer. to which position he was recent
lv elected. In his absence Vice presl-
dent H. B. Tindal, OF Greenville pre-
sided With very few exceptions, all

resolutions:
Whereas, the Southern Cotton as
sociation in convention assembled In
New Orleans and subsequently through
is executive committee, fixed the price
for the remnant of cotton Of the pres
ent season held by the spot holders
ct Is cents per pound.
I" Resolved, That we heartily en-
dorse their action and urge all farm
ers and merchants holding spot cot
ton to stand by the action Of the New
Orleans convention and the executive
committee and hold for Is cents per
pound. No good reason can be given
for the present decline in the price OF
cotton except the manipulation OF the
.arket by spectators, and it was the
unanimous opinion Of the meeting that
on account of the statistical strength
of cotton that Is cents will be obtain
ed # we hold firm for that price.
At the meeting last night, all of the
members Of the executive committee
with the exception of Maj. R. NJ.
Pesues. of Marlboro county, were

GHaMBER OF COMMERCE NOTES.
Rropasltaon to Erect Shop TO Manu-
faefure Dixie Stalk Cutters.

From The Daily Item January 81.
Mr. j b Weatherly, of Atlanta,
representing the Dixie Stalk Cutter
Company, is in Sumter to complete ar
srangements for the immediate manu-
tacturesof one thousand of his stalk
cutters here. This cutter has proven
such a great success, and the demand
for them has increased SO that the
Atlanta Office has received orders for
from to three hundred a day, and
thefe have been sold as high as five
hundred a day by the Office and tray-
cling men cobined.
Mr. Weafherly is, of course, more at
home in Sumter than any other place,
as It was in Sumter that he invented,
psfented and made fffe Hsse esaaachine,
and it was in Sumter that the cutter
was first recognized for its true worth.
at was Sumter men who were the first
to encourage the inventor, and to buy,
use, and recommend the Dixie Stalk
Cntter. But Notwithstanding that the
Dixie Stalk Cutter was recognized as
valuable machine by Sumter people
from the start, and that hundreds were
sold and used successfully in this and
adjoining counties, this machine has
been much improved, and has been
perfected since its first Introduction in
this city. To a newspaper man Mr..
WeatherIy said today that the Sumter
Chamber of Commerce had spoken to
him about establishing factory in
Sumter, and that he was willing, but
1t will require about $4,000 to prop
erH equip such factory. The busi-
ness men of Sumter should not per-
INIT this enterprise to go elsewhere.
Sumter needs this factory, and many
Others. This stalk cutter is no exper-
iznent, thousand shave been sold al
ready. Now where is the Sumter
SPIRIT Of which we have heard so
much recently?

reports of the Census Office, that is
matter for Congress to deal with az it

MURDER RAMPANT.

There have been five atrOcious MUIR
ders of women of high social position
in Chicago within the last few weeks.
Had any such work occurred in the
South. or even had rather "celebrat-
ed" hanging of a negro for some un-
mentionable crime have occurred in
the South, the whole North would
have been atlame. Once politician
in Southern State killed an editor
who had denounced him all over the
country. This killing was not justified
in law or morals, but every body knows
that man who plays editor after that
fashion in the South does not get into
the courts as New York editor seems
to have done. but gets a bullet in his
rporosity-as the aforesaid editor
did. The killing of this editor was
made the subject of newspaper dia-
tribe from Maine to California, every
scribbler wrote about it. But here are
women murdered in the most fendish |
ways, and their deaths are mentioned |
BIB ordinary news items Why is a |
murder so much more a crime In the |
South than in the North or West2 We
would like to know.

This decision is purely a personal

There has been no reason for this

2-CENT RATE FOR PASSENGERS.

Senator Dickinson introduced . hin
in the legislature. which has for its
OBJECT the reduction of railroad rates in
certain eases to two cents a mile.
The bill requires every Transports
ton company in the State charging
over two cents mile for passenger
traffic to provide and keep on sale at
all times 500 and 1000. mile tickets.
The charges for these tickets is fixed
at $40 for the 500 mile tickets and $40
for the 1,OOO-mile. The bill provides
that the purchaser or any member OF
his immediate family can use the tick
cts 30 purchased.
Users OF tickets are to have all rights
as to person and baggage as are fur
n1shed other passengers. The railroad
or transportation companies are ex-
pressly prohibited from demanding any
sort OF agreement, stipulation or con-
ditlon In the sale of such tickets, and
there is no time limit On such tickets.
Any violation of the provisions OF
the law are made punishable, and re
fusal to sell such tickets to any person.
or of the transportation companies to
accept the same, shall entitle the ae-
srieved person to recover from such
corporation the sum of not less than
$50 in each case.
Such is the law of New York TODAY,
such law has stood the test of the
courts, and there is no reason why |
'uch may not be law in Virginia. |
Certainly there should be law in |
Virginia wiping out the nefarious and
ndefensible policy of the railroads of
holding Oh to peoples money under
he fraudulent statem ent that ten dol
ars is required only to be held when
me purchases 1000 mile ticket as a
guarantee that the ticket will not be
old to some one else. This is not the
eason OF this requirement. The real
eason is to beat people out of $40
