IHf.S STATEHOOD BILL
Advocates of It Are Happy Over the
 Trick They Played.
Special to Evening Democrat )

Special to Evening Democrat.)
 Washington, D. C., June 1S.-Ad- vocates of joint statehood for Okla homa and Indian Territory and Ari- zona and New Mexico are chucklin4 loud and delightedly over the trick they claim to have worked on the opponents of statehood for Arizona and New Mexico at this time in hav- ing both house and senate accept the amendment prepared by the con- ferees on the statehood bill.
 According to Senator Beveridge, the statehood bill as it now stands and as it will be signed by the pres ident, probably to-day, virtually makes a new state of Arizona and New Mexico. The Indiana senator states that the provisions of the bill arrange that an election shall be held at the time for the regular cleo tion in November for two purposes. The first is a vote of the people of both territories to determine wheth- CT they desire to be united in a sim gle state. The second is to elect | delegates to a constitutional con- vention which shall arrange a con- stitution for the new state and pro vide for it's entrance into the union. In the event the people vote against combining in one state the constitu- tional convention will be of no use. but in the event they vote favorably to one state the convention goes right ahead and establishes the ma chinery of the new state. Senator Beyeridge is confident that the peo- pie of both territories will vote for joint statehood. and says that when they do and the convention is held the new state, under the terms of the bill, automatically comes into | the union. Senator Beyeridge be- lieves that the new state will be in the union by January 1, 1907. which is a delay of a Iew months more than if it had been admitted direct ly by the bill. In the contingency that a majority of the people oppose statehood under the terms proposed their future prospects to become cit izens of state may not be as bright as they would desire.
 Senator Beveridge and President Roosevelt have both been pleased that the bill got through in the form 1t did and have congratulated each other. Both are confident that the people of the two territories will promptly vote to come in as one state. The new state will be an ad- dition to the republican party, as New Mexico Is republican and has a ] larger vote than Arizona. which has for years sent a democratic delegate to congress.
 It is expected that Oklahoma re- pubIicans will outvote the demo- cratic majority of Indian Territory and this will add another republican state. giving four republican sena- tors to the senate.
 There seems little doubt that the senate misunderstood the purport of the amendment finally accepted by 1t, believing that statehood would not immediately follow the election and convention and that it would be necessary for congress. at it's next session. to provide for admission Senator Beveridke chuckles with de light when he declares that the new state comes in automatically n q majority of the people vote that waT. .. =--.-...

Lucas-Milliken Fight Ends.

Spartanburg, S. c., April 18th
Stockholders representing the Lucas
and Milliken interest in the Laurens
Cotton Mill met at Laurens this at
ternoon and final action was taken
which closed the fight for the manage
ment Of the mill and it's output. Lu-
cas- severed his connection as presl-
dent, N. B. Dial being elected to sue
ceed him. W. S. Montgomery OF this
city, who has been mentioned as a
probable successor to Lucas was made
treasurer and general manager.
When the coneiliatory plans were
drawn up here Saturday, Milliken Of
'fered to buy the. Lucas holdings at
10. The proposition was accepted
this afternoon and the strength OF
the management Of the Laurens cot
ton mills is now in the hands Of the
Millikens, who will continue as sell
ling agents, over which matter the
complications arose more than a year
ago. The meeting at Laurens was
exceedingly harmonious and all par
ties seem satisfied.

ty, however, the figures show a de-
cline in movements to all the prin-
cipal countries except France and
Canada, the increase in total value
being due to the high average export
value per pound, that in 1906 being a
little over II cents per pound, while
the average per pound in the eight
months ending with February, 1905,
was slightly more than 9 cents.
In the group designated "provis-
ions" the total increase is $33,OOO,-
900, a gain in which nearly all the
classes participated to a greater or
less extent. Lard shows an increase
of $11, 100000; oleomargarine oil 81
100000; bacon $6,0OO,000 and butter
nearly s3,OOO,OOO.
While agricultural exports are
larger in total value than ever before,
it does not follow that they form a
larger percentage Of the grand total
of exports. On the contrary the per-
centage which they form Of the total
exports in the eight recorded months
of the fiscal year 1906 is smaller than
in any earlier year in our history, ex-
cept 1905, in which they were abnor-
mally low by reason Of the shortage
in the grain crop Of 1904. The per-
eentage which agricultural products
form of the total exports in the eight
months ending with February, 1906
is 1913, against in 1904, 66.27S3945e
is 1913, against 63.S in 1904, 66:2 in
1902, $50 in 1899, and 71.9 in 1885,
considering in EACH case the CORES
ponding months of the year named
This indicates that other great groups
of our products are increasing even
! more rapidly proportionately than
that designated as agricultural pro
ducts, and this relative gain in per-
centage of the total exports occurs
chiefly in manufactures.
The percentage which manufactures
form Of exports in the eight months
ending with February, 1906, Is 32.o
while they formed but 27.2 per cent OF
the total exports in thee corresponding
months Of 1908, 225 per cent in the
corresponding months Of 1898, ano
l6.5 per cent in the corresponding
months of 1890.

"When Mr.. Townsend, the late as

of Mr.. Gunter, as to his being or not

Ban on Slot Machines.

Columbia, S. c., April l2th-The
Justly famous slot machine case came
to a sudden and sad termination, tenn
porarily at least, this afternoon in
Magistrate Moorman rs court to which
it had been transferred on a change
of venue from the recorders court
where a similar case had been decid-
ed adversely under the ordinance. The
magistrate also decided against Man
ager Cain, Of the slot machine con-
Germ, the prosecution being brought
under section SOL Of the criminal code,
which provides for the seizure and
confscation Of goods exposed for sale
on Sunday. The Il slot machines
seized last Sunday were returned
Wednesday after Mr.. Cain consented
to open them and release the contents.
The goods, valued at $40, were con-
fiscated under the decision today,
though Mr.. Cane himself suffered no
fine.
Attorney Frank G. Tompkins did
not attempt to disprove the facts set
up by the prosecution but based his
hope on three technical objections that
the statute was intended to prevent
only persons laboring on Sunday;
that the proceedings were not regular
in that section 504 Of the same chap
ter provides a different method, and
that the act itself is unconstitutional
because it deprives a person OF prop
erty without due process Of law. He,
therefore, gave notice Of appeal to
the Circuit Court and says he will
carry it to the Supreme Court If nee
essary. This ties up the sale OF cl-
gars, candy and chewing gum on Sun
days until the appeal can be heard
at the June term Of court, unless the
case can be gotten by consent before
the civil court, which convenes in a
few days. Some other move may be
made in the meantime, however.

May Make Alcohol.

An opinion contending that the peO-
pie of Maine may lawfully manufacture
denatured alcohol under the provisions
of the recent act of Congress without
violating any of the provisions of the
constitution or statutes of the State
was given out yesterday by Robert T
Whitehouse, United States district at
torney of Maine
One of the features of the fall election
campaign, which will end next Saturday
night has been discussion of the
question whether or not the provisions
of the State constitution prohibiting the
manufacture of intoxicating liquors will
deprive the people of Maine of the right
to manufacture denatured alcohol for
use in the arts and industries aud for
fuel, light and power, under the pro
visions of the SO called free alcohol act
This matter came to the front es-
pecially in the rural districts. A con
tention that the farmers could not profit
by the act was supported by an opinion
given by a local attorney.
