THE amount of cotton brought into
sight during the seven days ending last
Friday was 1889 as compared with
225,2S1 during the same period Of last
year. The fact that so much more
cotton came out last year at cents
than Is coming out this year at 10
cents is to be taken either as an evil
dence that the crop is a great deal
shorter than it was last year, or that
the people who still have cotton are
much more able - hold it. 1t was not
until July of last year that spots be-
gan to go upward, and we shall not at
tempt to say just when the rise Is
coming this year; but we have not the
slightest doubt that it will come. The
demand for cotton goods of all kinds is
much better now than it was at this
time last year, and the spinners will
still have handsome profit at much
better prices than now prevail.

WITH reference to that Gaffney muir
der we want to say this: 1t was en-
tirely unnecessary and uncalled for,
and Davidson AMI Bennett were as
much to blame as was Hasty, and
Hasty was as much to blame as was
Davidson and Bennett. We say this,
even though it be granted that every
thing testified to on both sides be
true, or every thing testified to be false
or whether what either side claimed be
true and the other false. Either side
could have prevented the tragedy
without the loss of any self-respect
they might have had, and one side was
about as reprehensible as the other.
Davidson and Bennett suffered for the
terrible mistakes they made with re-
gard 20 the matter, and Hasty should
suffer the same penalty for his part.
The self-defense claim is an absurdity
as set up by either side.

COLUMBIA has an ordinance against
selling goods on Sunday and people
undertook to evade the ordinance by
means of slot machines. The matter
went up to Judge Hydrick and he de-
cided that slot machines do not violate
the ordinance as it stands; but at the
same time there is nothing to prevent
the city council from passing an ordi-
nance that will prohibit the exposing of
goods for sale in slot machines.

There was quite large crowd of
people in Yorkville yesterday, sales
day for March. They came from all
parts of the country, the northern,
southern and western section being
especially we'll represented and they
came on all kinds Of business. The
live stock dealers were probably bus
Ter than anybody else; but almost
everybody in all lines had about as
much as they could look after. The
Jockeys made 1t as lively as usual In

Property Returns.

Auditor Hunter estimates that there
are not less than one thousand people
who have failed to make returns. The
estimate, of course, is in the nature OF
a guess and it is not to be understood
that this is an unusual condition un-
less II be because the delinquents. are
so few instead of so man. There are
always a number of delin4uents to put
on the books with penalties, and 1t Is
quite probable that In the whole coun-
ty there are as many as five hundred
or thousand people liable to more
or less taxes who escape altogether.

The United States senate will de-
vote most, if not all, the week to the
consideration of the statehood bill with
a view to reaching vote on it next
Friday in accordance with the agree
ment arrived at last week. There is a
possibility that Senator Culberson may
speak today on the railroad rate ques-
ton, but if he does this will be the
only interruption of the consideration
of the bill for the creation Of two new
states. If the Texas senator does not
speak, either Senator Nelson or Senator
Long will take the floor in support OF
an opportunity to speak today they
will find that opportunity Tuesday, and
from that time forward it is expected
that the subject will be pressed until
the time set for voting to begin, which
is p. m, Friday. Senator Patterson
probably will close the debate for the
opposition, and Senator Beveridge for
the bill. These will not be set speeches
in the usual meaning of that word, but
are sure to provoke so much discussion
as to cause the controversy to take
on the character of a general debate.
Practically all the interest in the bill
centres in the Foraker amendment. and
every possible effort on both sides is
being made for and against that pro-
vision. Even the friends of the union

the vote will be close, but the opponents
Of that policy appear more confident OF

broke as soon as the lower house of

posed a split between the radicals
and the more moderate element Of
the opposition.

on a months delay before passing
the death penalty bill was eommuni-
Gated to the house and caused the
introducing of a resolution demand
ing the suspension of all death SEN
fences. This was a signal 70" vio-
lent protests from the socialist and

sition was rejected.
