OBTAINING LOWER COMMISSIONS.
Result of Recent Cotton Mill Contest In
the Courts Pointed Out.
(From The News and Courier.)

(From The News and Courier.)
The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter of May "a contains an advrtise-
ment of Smith, Hogg & Company,
STANDARD Cotton Fabrics, Boston, New
York and Chicago" and in the list of
cotton mills in various States for which
the firm is selling agent appear the
names of Pelzer Cotton Mills, Bolton
Manufacturing Company and Ware
Shoals Manufacturing Company, South
Carolina corporations. Herein hangs a
tale of what is deemed an event of un-
common significance in the textile in
dustry of the State.
Until a few weeks ago the Pelzer and
Bolton companies, having an aggregate
of about 1873, 600 spindles, the former
being the largest mill in the South,
were represented by one of the two
cotton goods commission houses having
the bulk of the business in South Caro-
lima and the prevailing rate of COM
missions was A per cent. 1t is uuder-
stood, and in fact generally announced,
that their new agents are selling their
goods at 2 per cent. The Ware Shoals
Manufacturing Company has just COM
pleted it's plant, the machinery having
started last week, and the presumption
is that it will obtain the same rate,
though we have no information about
it.
The further statement is freely made
in textile circles that a numberof other
mills are perfecting arrangements to
have their goods sold at 2 per cent, and
that the aggregate savings to the mills
which have contaminated the change
or are about to consummate it,ssis esti-
mated at from two hundred thousand
to a quarter of a million dollars an
nually.
Capt. Ellison A. Smyth, who may be
said to be at the head of the spinning
industry in South Carolina, is the presi-
dent of Pelzer and Bolton mills. He is
a native of Charleston and grew to
manhood in Charleston. That he should
be a successful leader in this important
forword step of the Southern mills is
cause for pride to his former fellow
citizens, as well as to all South Caro-
linians.
OF equal significance with the actual
saving involved to Southern mills is the
demonstration that there is no general
disposition in the North to discriminate
against the Southern industry, ever
though a selfish policy has been adopted
by certain firms in special cases. In
time, all the!Southern mills will be
treated just as the New England mills
are treated, and it may be taken for
granted that the fight so bitterly con
tested last year in the Courts by other
mills has in the larger sense been fol
lowed by a complete victory, if the
whole field be surveyed.

Scarce one year has flown
Since Pa was called away,
His mission on this earth was filled,
He could no longer stay.
He sleeps in the old church yard,
In sight of his boyhood home,
Beside our precious mother,
Who had before him gone

Where all is bright and fair.

accepted. Last months output OF
iron in the United States was the
largest ever known, an increase of

2,068.892 tons in all, and there was
an eager market awaiting every
pound OF il. All records will be

MDErrRMINArE SENTENCES.

According to Sam ael J Barrows,
president OF the Internationa
Prison Congress, a'it is still more
difficult to make the penalty fit the
offender. I" In a recent article in
the Outlook. he enters the plea oil
safeguarding the "indeterminate
sentence, such as the law in effect
in Michigan. The best criminal
code, he says, is an arbitrary instru-
ment, and it is impossible, on any
principle, SO to construct one that
the penalty and the crime are com
mensurate. After making this as
sertion, he continues:
mo legislator can show why the
theft of twenty-five dollars should
be punishable with one years i'm
prisonment, and a theft OF twenty
six dollars with five years imprison-
ment. Nor is the difficulty re-
moved by empowering the judge to
use his discretion in imposing SEN
tence within certain limits OF mini
mum and maximum. A judge would
find it hard to tell why he sentenced
one boy five years for stealing a
dollar and another boy one year for
stealing one hundred and eighty-six
dollars, or another judge why he sent
one boy to prison for a year, aud
another, first offender, to sixteen
years for the same offense. A study
of codes on one hand and OF sentences
on another reveals an amazing
amount OF contradiction and con-
fusion, not to say rank injustice, in
the application OF penalties. For
this inequality aad injustice the in
determinate sentence furnishes the
necessary relief. Instead Of making
the code-maker or the judge decide
when q man shall come out of Jprison,
tputs the main responsibility OF de-
Gliding that question upon the pris.
oner himself"
