Judge Niles of the federal
court at Aberdeen dissolved the
temporary injunction granted by
himself in vacation in the, case
of the New Orleans and Great
Northern Railroad which sought
to build it's line within three
miles of the town of Augusta
and not pass within the limits
of the town as is required by the
constitution Of the state. The
case involved the same points
as did the famous Pontotoc case
which has been decided in favor Of
the citizens by the supreme court
of the state. In the Pontotoc case
Judge Niles held that there was
no federal question involved and
holds the same in the Columbia
case. There seems to be no
point upon which an appeal to
the United States supreme court
can be taken and the road evident
ly will now begin its work of
construction which was stopped
by the legal proceedings.

Purchase Of Cotton Lands in the
South Recommended by Brit.
ish Commission.

London, Oct. "a voluminous
report made by the cotton COM
mission sent out by the Lanca-
shire cotton spinners was made
public today. The chief feature
of the report is the recommends
ton to purchase land in the great
cotton belt Of the Southern states
for the purpose of supplying Brit
ish needs.
It declares there is ample land
in the Southern states to produce
cotton to supply the worlds re-
quirements for many years to
come, and that with scientific cul.
tivation one bale per acre should
be obtained, while great econo-
mics are possible in ginning, bal
ing and transport. The report
goes with great detail into the
entire history of American cot
ton cultivation.
The promoters of the commits
sion are so impressed with the
Importance of the subject that
they have decided to send to
America another commission YES
ted with fuller powers than the
first. The second commission
will sail in a few days and will
reach the cotton belt in time to
witness the picking of the crop.

To What Extent Is the DAMAGE?

The editor of the Enterprise has
investigated and made inquiry
and got the views of many of
our prominent planters in this
vicinity on the subject of the
extent of the damage to the cot
ton crop by the recent excessive
rains in this community.
A consers atiye estimate places
the damage done to the open
cotton at Is per cent, and al
most a total loss to the seed.
1.-The open cotton is placed at
one-third Of the crop. Every
open boil has a sprout from one
eight to one-quarter of an inch
long which will damage the sta
pie by stair, ETC.. to a considera
BILE extent and renders the seed
practically worthless. In our
opinion the gins will pull the
seed apart and pulverize them to
great extent in ginning. The
oil mills cannot use them to any
advantage.
To add to this damage Of the
one-third Of the crop that is open
in the field, is the damage by
rottening of the unopen bolls.
We learn that each field has a
proportion of bolls that have
turned black and are very soft.
You can squirsh them with your
hand easily and a quantity Of
water runs out. This is the worst
feature, for all of this kind is a
total loss. The extent of this
alarming damage cannot. as vet,
be estimated with any degree of
accuracy. lis to be hoped that
this will not exceed 5 per cent,
and if it does rot, our investiga-
ton would lead us to place the
total damage to the cotton crop
in this immediate territory at IS
to 20 per cent. Friars Point En-
ierprise.
