 Prizes.

Lovers of the roller skates had a big time last night at the Bluff City rink, when the big merchants carni- val. masquerade and candidates rally was given. There were a large num- Der of maskers and the candidates did not lose an opportunity to boost their Irrespective claims for various offices throughout the township and county. There were an unusually large num- Der of spectators present, not to men, ton. the many skaters who crowded onto the floor. The prizes were awarded by three judges, selected from among the spectators. Misses Ethel Viets, Ethel and Bert Dellmon, representing Frank Stewart, candi- date for constable of Vaugine town ship, were awarded the prize. but there being only one prize for the
 ladies, the three were requested to skate it off, and handsome silver
 jewel box was awarded to Miss Bert
 Dellmon. the judges selecting her to be the most graceful skater of the
 three. Jim Roberts. local electric ian, was given the gentleman's prize, a sterling silver mounted whisk
 broom. He was the most originally
 masked skater on the floor, the judges
 said. Made up as a negro cotton picker, he presented ;; an amusing

NEW MILLS HOTEL
 A SUCCESS

New York. Nov. 7-Althou5h i,
 has been open less than three weeks, the new Mills hotel, at Seventh ave- nue and Thirty-siXth street. has al ready attained greater measure of
 success than it's two predecessors. It was built to meet the demand for ac-
 commodations for men of small means in the uptown district of the city. That such a demand existed is evidenced by the number of applicants for rooms, exceeding the capacity of the big hotel
 Practical philanthropy is the key note of the Mills hotel project. origi- hated and put into execution by D. o. Mills; the banker and financier, with the Assistance and counsel of his daughter, Mrs. Whitelaw Reid, wife of the American ambassador to Great Britain.
 The first Mills hotel was opened a decade ago in Blocker street, with .1,554 rooms, and the second opened with 600 rooms in 1898. Both have been filled almost constantly, and, al- though no public statement of re- ceipts and expenditures has been giv- en out by MT. Mills, it is understood that the hostelries have not only paid their own way, but have returned be- tween 1 and ? per cent interest on the original investment. It has been Mir. Mills plan not to dispense charity, but to provide comfortable and even
 luxurious accommodations for men of small means at actual cost.
 The new Mills hotel occupies an advantageous ond convenient location about a minutes walk from Broad- way at Herald Square. It is fifteen stories in height, has a frontage of 100 feet in Seventh avenue and 200 feet in Thirty-siXth street, and con tains 1875 rooms, being much larger than the other Mills institutions. It is of steel construction, faced with limestone, light brick and terra cotta, and is as dignified and elegant in it's exterior as any hotel in the me tropolis Three capacious elevators are provided for the convenience of the guests. The foyer and main floor are trimmed in marble, as are the large 1ounging rooms. The latter have glass floors, and are in reality courts, covered at the top of the main story with glass skylights, supported by marble pillars. Above this floor the courts furnish light and air to the rooms opening upon them. From these courts open four sitting rooms. fitted with a well-assorted library, completely appointed writing room and various games for the free use of the guests.
 The courts and sitting rooms arc furnished in oak and decoraled ill palms. Tn the basement is the ktch- en and restaurant, where meals, eith-. CT simple or elaborate, are served to guests at cost. The bath Gooms, with thirty shower baths, and a laun- dry and barber shop, are also located in the basement.

COSTS OF GOVERNMENT.

The costs of government to the tax payer are represented approximately ! for the several cities by what the bureau of the census calls corporate
 payments These payments exclude all temporary transactions and pay ments of one department or fund of the city to another. For the 154 cities they aggregated, in the fiscal year 1895, $572,960,113, of which those of New York city constituted $164,493,- 177, or 2S.7 per cent. z Of the 154 cities whose statistics
 are presented in. this special report,
 the census has secured and present.
 ed in previous reports and bulletins
 of 1902, 1903 and 1904, the statistics
 of 14S. The corporate payments for
 these cities for the four years 1902 to
 1905 were as follows: $46S,747,556,
 22,699,O16. $553,229,2 200, and $569,- 503,6S7. The corporate payments or
 costs of government for these 14S cities for 1903, 1904 and 1905 were 11.5, IS and 21.5 per cent greater, re- spectively, than for 1902. The corre spending payments for New York city in the four years mentioned were $156,sS6,2S2, S167,060, I'll and $164,493,177.
 Of the total corporate payments of these 154 cities, 66.6 per cent were for the current expenses of opera tion and maintenance, including the support of the departments and in dustries; 32.1 per cent were for out lays, or improvements of more or less permanent character, and 1.3 per cent were for reduction of indebted ness. The corresponding figures ill 1902 were 71.2 for expenses, 27.3 for outlays and 1.5 for reduction of debt. The relative increase of payments in the four years was therefore some- what greater for permanent improve ments than for mere expenses of op- eration and maintenance.
 Of cities with an estimated popu- lation of over 100000, the per capita payments were largest in Boston and smallest in Milwaukee. Next in order after Boston were New York and Washington; and of the cities with small relative cost of gov ernment New Orleans, Detroit and
 Chicago are close rivals with Mil Waukee.
 Of the payments for general eX penses, 61.S per cent were for sala- ries and wages and 3S.2 per cent were for other purposes. In 1904 the corresponding percentages were 61.7 and 3s.3, respectively. The per cents of the total expenses formed by those of the principal departments or branches of service were as follows: Schools, 25.9; police department, 12.7; 10.9; interest on the public debt, 10.1; fire department, 9.5; gen. eral government, g; sanitation, in- cluding costs of health department, sewers, etc., SS; charities, 5.7; re- including parks, 3; miscel- laneous protection of life and proper ty, IF; libraries, 1.2, and other un- 1.6.

THE SITUATION IN COTTON.

Discussing the causes contributing to the decline in cotton values, the New Orleans Times-Democrat says:
 The situation in cotton will sur prise nobody who has, in the least degree, understood the peculiar infiu- ences which affect the commodity just now. It is a commonplace of experience that the bare statistics seldom afford a trustworthy clew to the trend of the price. The diagonal of speculative forces is beyond the ken of academic reasoners; to be long of information, but short" of cash, is the common fate. Big crops have more than once been marketed at a high level of value and small ones have not infre- quent]y been for song. The course of world-poltics, the cost of food, the presence or ab- Sence of general prosperity-these are the things that outweigh mere technicalities in the scale. The novice theorizes as securely as if he were dealing with a problem in pure math- ematics; but the veteran knows too well that such a priori methods are vain.
 In the instant case, all calculations have been queered by the eXtraordi- nary developments of the recent past The yield of 1907 is no bumper, so far as one can now see, though most experts believe that the outcome may exceed the expectations of the spring. The crop of 1906 was enor- nous, but found eager buyers on the crescendo scale, because the con- sumption was no Jess colossal than the output. The farmer therefore as- sumed that he might name his own figures for a crop which appeared to be far short of the trades annual need. It was on this theory that the movement to hold for fifteen cents was based. But, as the Scottish bard says: The best laid plans of men and mice gang aft agley." A stagger- ing panic has intervened to shake the whole superstructure of credit, and bankers will not lend money freely on cotton, simply because they have not the funds in hand. The spinner we'll acquainted with the abnormal conditions, is content to bide his time, in the belief this is his opportunity to dance, while the South pays the score.
 Nor must we forget that crass leg islation has done much to help this shrewd program on. The various anti-option laws, designated to elim mate speculation throughout the South, have accomplished the pur pose with deadly effect. Thus it hap pens that New York and Liverpool both identified by temperament ani interest with the bear side, are il practically absolute possession of the field and the farmer Is condemned tc light his battle alone. We do not mean to say that the financial crisis would not have forced a fail 3n any

Very DeceptiVe.

Bobbie, who has very vivid imagi-
nation, came running into the house
one day, crying:
"Oh, mamma, come quick; there s
a great big black lion out in the
yard"
"No, Bobbie," said his mother,
"there isn't any lion out in the yard
That is only dog" but the little
fellow continued to insist that it was
a great big lion.
Finally the mother, who was some
what worried over the boys habit Of
exaggerating, said: "Now, Bobbie,
that is not lion and you know it, so
you must go upstairs at once and ask
God to forgive you for telling lie. /"
When Bobbie came downstairs a
little later his mother asked him if he
had asked God to forgive him for say
ing there was a lion in the yard {;
whereupon Bobbie promptly replied: {:

first saw it he thought it was a lion,

"She took out her checkbook.
"I'll tell you what I'll do, she said
'1'll give you my check for $4,000,

the collar this afternoon. Don't tell

Then, maybe, he will buy it for me-

"Her husband she found in his

He had sold certain stocks at grand

readily, therefore, to go and look at
the necklace.
"That evening his wife dressed for

Four Paired With Him.

a very amusing circumstance oc-
Cured in taking the vote. When the
, name of Senator Christensen was call
ed he did not vote, announcing that
he was paired. When the names of
Senator Crouch and Holiday were
reached they likewise announced that
they were paired. 1t was apparent at
| once that there was some mistake
! somewhere and before the chair an
nounced the vote the mystery was
cleared. Senator Holiday arose and
announced that he desired to vote
faye" since learning that Senator
Griffin was paired with Senator Chris
tensen, whom he had also been paired
with. Senator Crouch arose and an
nounccd that Senator Griffin had re-
questcd him to pair and he told him
he would and considered that he was
paired with him, but on learning that
the Senator from Colleton was paired
with Senator Christensen he also de-
sired to vote "aye." President Nc
Leod inquired if there were any 9TH
ers who were paired with the senator
from Colleton. There being none the
vote was announced.
The ayes and nays were demanded
by the senator from Ncwberry. The
