BURN COWSHEDS
SETTLERS UP AROUND ADAMS
HAVE MOVED THEIR
FAMILIES

Adams, Jan. 25.--The 500 road cast
of Adams which had been practically
opened completely before the storm
of last Saturday is again Theoretically
sealed with but little chance of any
Immediate relief The big cuts along
that line, some twenty feet deep, are
again filled with snow, which packed
as it fell. The reports of hardships
on account of lack of train service
from that point are not as bad as have
been pictured, though in many places
it, will be hard for the inhabitants to
stand much more snow and cold
weather without suffering. Several of
the towns are nearly out of coal. p
In several instances two or more
families of farmers have moved into
one house to save fuel. Several farm
ers are killing off their cows for food,
and are burning the lumber in their
cowbarns to keep from freezing.
The 500 is doing everything that is
possible to open the line and deliver
fuel and food. but the winds fill the
cuts almost as fast as they are open

INCREASE TAXABLE VALUES.
Gov Hoke Smith Urges Enactment
of New Law-Central Of Georgia
and Southern Railways Men
toned in a Special Mes
sage.

Atlanta, Ca, July 17.-Gov. Hoke
Smith, in a special message to the
legislature today, asks an enactment
to fix the value Of corporate proper
ty within the state as basis for taxa
ton. He calls attention to the fact
that when the valuation returned by
a taxpayer is not acceptable to the
comptroller. plan of arbitration is
provided, but the arbitrators, under
the present law, are not sworn and
have not the power to administer the
oath to witnesses. He calls attention
to the fact that the Central OF Geor-
ola and Southern railways have made
returns on the valuation Of their tan
2ible property within the state, the
former at less than one-half the
amount which the company officials
declared on oath in a judicial hearing
was its value. and the latter at one
third such mount. He urged that the
taxation should be on such valuation
as these other corporations are al
lowed to maintain in court OF law.
The Southern railway, he declares: IS
resisting a valuation Of $26,O00,OOO
on its property in Georgia, when an
officer of the road at recent hear
inc in the federal courts swore that
the property is worth not less than
s4Sl5O,OOO. The Southern returned
the property for taxation at $l4,SS4,-
923 in 1907.

tomorrow.
General Counsel A. P. Thorn Of the
Southern railway is here from Wash

pare the case. for want Of Jurlsdlc-
ton, for unconstitutionality of the
law, and for quashing the lndlct-

Twenty minutes before tins time
Judge Long convened court again and
ordered Mr.. Green, who had been IN

that any writ issued for Green snail
be directed against Judge Long, pre-
siding in the superior court, and IN ell
feet the writ would be to dlspossess

Mean Blind Tigers.-People Of
South Carolina Are Disgust

The Augusta Chronicle Of Wednes-

with Senator Tillman:
Hon. B. R. Tillman, United States
senator from South Carolina, was in
Augusta yesterday. He is on his way
west and again on a lecturing tour
Mrs. Tillman is with him. Mr.. Till
man is looking very well-better than
for years. But he is the same old
democratic Tillnan, plain Of speech,
free Of manner, with a sharp word and
pleasant word. T.
"Senator," a reporter asked him,
s"what will be the effect of Georgia
prohibition on South Carolina? Does
u follow that Carolina will put on
state prohibition?"
'%You know what it means when
Georgia puts on state prohibition:
Blind tigers, my boy; blind tigers. -
/ evil Carolina follow Georgia with
state prohibition?'
"Carolina is bent toward prohlbl-
ton of her own motion. Independent
| " Of Georgia action, the people are
planning prohibition. They are dis
custed with county local option and
the dispensary. Not because Of the
want Of the dispensary plan. But the
state could not successfully watch one
board of control. Then thirty boards
Of control can not be watched. They
have scattered the stealing, and the
people are not gonig to stand tor

rolls or were helping other members
Of their families. The women and
children we're all barefooted while at
work in the mill. but wore wooden
sandals while going to and from their
work. With this exception they COM
pared favorably, in general appear
ance and cleanliness, with the cotton
operatives in the Southern States.
The commissioners making this re-
?;ort are not familiar with the cotton
mill operatives in New England.
The proprietor Of this mill is build
ing large dormitory for the use Of
the girls and women without families.
On the first floor are the dining room,
kitchen. and recreation rooms. On
the upper floors are large bed rooms,
with 30 to 40 beds in each room, bath
|room, toilet rooms, etc. The build
ling is roomy and we'll arranged, and
Will be very comfortable. The pro-
prietors said they would furnish board
to the operatives, including meals,
beds, etc., for 40 centessim Is cents)
per day. He said he did not expect
to make any profit out Of the dorml-
tory, the purpose benig to provide
comfortable and attractive quarters
for women at actual cost, in order to
make the mill attractive and secure
sufficient help. This dormitory plan
impressed the commissioners very fav-
orably, as it seems to us an admirable
arrangement for the girls in the mill.
The proprietors said they furnished
houses for operatives with families at
rental of from rs cents to 81 per
room per month. :.
The machinery in the mill is all OF
English make, and appeared to the
commissioners to be Of an antiquated
type. even that now being installed.
The spinning frames now being IN
stalled are Of the old type with long
travelling carriages. The looms are
heavy and cumbersome, aud no opera
tive runs more than two looms. Prac-
tically all the operatives are paid by
the piece.
The mill is using electric current.
which is generated at water power
plant on a river some distance away.
The proprietors stated that the cur
rent cost $25 per horse power per
annum for a twelve-hour run. There
is considerable activity in water pow
er development in this section, and
the proprietor of this mill said that
a number of others mills would soon
be started. -.~-.
The mayor Of the town stated that
there was practically no emigration
from this section, but that the demand
for labor was such that the town was
constantly drawing on the surround
inc country for additional labor OF
various kinds. He thinks the mill
operatives here would be desirous as
operatives in the United States, but
that the mill management would
doubtless resist in every way any at
tempt to induce the emigrants to
leave.

NEWBERRY RAILROAD.
Edgefeld is Talking of Line in the
Western Part of the
State

The Augusta Chronicle of Wednes-
day says:
"The interview with Hon. NJ. e..
Butler, the work Of the Edgefeld, s.
C, News and the publicity in The
Chronicle, together with interests
that have co-operated with these in
cidents, have resulted, during the
last few days. in commanding intense
interest. especially in Edse6eld and
contiguous country, in the proposed
electric railway from Augusta,
through Edgefeld, to Newberry. There
is reason to say. but no authority to
say. that the Augusta-Aiken Electric
railway will welcome the proposed
new line as a feeder and would will
inely have the new road tap their line
on the way into Augusta.
"Edgefeld, under the Influence OF
the continued and excellent statement
Of facts in the Edgefeld News,
stands ready to do her full share.
From almost every man Of Influence
in the town there have been secured
expressions of favor for the enter
prise. Soon there will be a prell-
minary meeting Of some of the lead
inc men there to arrange definite
plan of action.
''It is but frankness to say, how
ever, that at present the Edgefeld
efforts and influence are directed to
securing a northern outlet-that Is,
a line to Newberry or to Greenwood.
The preliminary meeting is to the end
that a road north be secured, letting
the southern extension take care OF
itself until later date. This Edge
field plan is the result probably Of the
fear, as expressed in the Sunday
Chronicle, Of Edgefeld merchants
that closer transportation arrange
mepts with Augusta would work to
the benefit Of Augusta at the expense
of the business houses OF Edgeheld.
"Augusta, Of course, would wls5
the southern end given first att9-
tion. Concentrated action on the part
of the business men here might en-
list the cooperation Of the Augusta
Aiken people and put the new road
into this city at the same time that 1t
is tapping Greenwood or NewlbeTTry,
The chamber Of commerce might hpd
it to Augusta $ Advantage to look n
to the proposition in its present
stage. The Chronicle believes that Hon
NJ. C. Butter Or rNm:P. Calhoun, ESQ,
of Edgefetd, S. c., will meet the
chamber of commerce, or, by letter,
put them in possession of the facts IN
connection with the proposed railway
"Augusta, and Augusta business
men. have long since been taught the
benefit Of the interstate electric rail-
ways. They are business feeders OF
the greatest value, and developers OF
merit. Advancement and enhance
ment have characterized every section
they have tapped and they carry pro-
gress and prosperity with them wher'
ever they extend"

Britain; to Messrs. Dillingham; and
Wheeler Austria, Hungary, part OF
Russia and other territory in that
region.
Leaving Rome we went to Florence
and saw Consul Quay, a brother OF
the late Senator Quay of Pennsyl-
vania. In the interview with him we
found that very few emigrants had
gone to the United States from this
section Of Italy. He stated that the
! principal industries are the weaving
of straw for hats, baskets, etc., and
hieh-class mosaic work. In addition
to these, another important industry
is that Of marble works of art. The
people are peaceable and industrious
and as a consequence are prosperous.
J Leaving Florence we went to Ven
ice: but there was little for us to do
there, and after spending day and
night we proceeded to Milan. Milan
is the principal city in the northern
part of Italy, situated in the centre
of a rich agricultural and manufae-
turing section. We spent nearly
three days at Milan, investigating
manufacturing and agricultural con-
aitions, and the work was very inter
esting all the way through. We visit
| ed cotton mill, and as I think the
special report we made upon it will
be of interest to the people Of South
Carolina, I will append copy Of it
! to this letter. I will also write an
other letter in few days covering the
result Of our Investigations into ag-
ricr!tural conditions in Italy as al
fecting immigration.
+ From Milan we proceeded to Genoa,
at which point we spent a day and
night, and from Genoa we went to
Marseilles, France. We spent two
days there, making in the meantime
trip about rs miles in the country to
look at some of the farms. On this
trip we went to St: Remy, a village
in the centre of what is probably the
greatest seed-growing section IN the
world; here the soil, climate, etc., all
combine to grow flowers and vese'
tables Of almost all kinds to the high
est state of perfection, and the SEEDS
grown here are shipped to all parts
of the world. It is very prosper
Gus section, and there is naturally nc
emigration.
Leaving Marseilles on Monda!
morning, we came to Geneva, by way
Of Lvons and up the beautiful vale!
Of the Rnone river. We will remain
here for two or three days in order te
write out our reports, and then pro.
ceed northward. I will try to seno
