1t is not the site of town, but
its character that makes it a de.

No Confederate Congress.

There are some excellent men
engaged, we have no idea in the
world why, in the latest effort to
stir up the race question. 1t is
proposed to have Governors Of
Southern States appoint dele
gates to form a conferen ;e-a
sort of Confederate Congress-as
if the South must needs turn
from the plough and the spindle
to wrestle with a problem threat
ening it, very existence. Moth
ing but mischief could come from
such a scheme and we are glad
to see that this is generally re-
cognized. The Governors appear
10 be one mind in the matter.
Of those interviewed thus far.
Governor Glenn, of North Caro-.
lima; Governor Swanson, of Vir
ginia Governor Ansel, of South
Carolina, and Governor Conner,
of Alabama, have all declined
to make any such appointments,
and Acting Governor Moore, Of
Arkansas, expressed such disap-
proval as he felt the temporary
nature of his authority warrant
ed him in doing. In a letter to
DR., John. e. White, Of Atlanta,
the leader of the movement,
Governor Swanson expresses his
thorough disapproval of the
whole idea. There is no friction
between the races in Virginia
and he would do nothing to dis
turb the present friendly rela-
tons. That Governor Glenn
would say the same for North
Carolina we make no doubt
With the Governors refusing TO
act, it is manifest that the plan
for an official assemblage must
fall through. We hope that there
will be no race conference of any
kind. While we regret that any
body's expectations must be dis.
appointed, this outcome of the
agitation gratifies us very much.

Involves Thousands.
Ownership ola Strip of Land
200 Feet Wide From COL
umbia to Greenville Passed
Upon by Court.
Special to the State.

RPOOAoh w tI0 Otdl6.
Williamston, Feb. 25.-A case
of unusual interest to perhaps
hundreds of property holders
along the line of the Southern
railway from G.eenville to Col
umbia and including both these
cities was decided in Anderson
last Wednesday, when the South
esn railway won its suit against
Mr.. James p. Gossett of Viii
liamston for the recovery of a
certain tract of land occupied by
him, and claimed by both par.
ties to the litigation.
Briefly put, the case was as
follows:
The Southern railway claims a
right of way 200 feet wide all
along its route from Greenville
70 Columbia and from Bolton to
anderson, while Mr.. Gossett
denied the claim In so far as it
pertained to certain lands in the
town Of Williamson, for which
he holds titles ante-dating the
charter of the Columbia and
Greenville railroad, the predeces-
sor of the Southern in these
parts. This land has been occu-
pied by Mr.. Gossett and his
predecessors uninterruptedly
and peacefully for half a century,
but the court decided that the
railway company may at any
time dispossess him and, without
rendering any compensation
whatever, convert the property
to its own use for railroad pur-
poses.
WILLIAMSON PROPERTY INVOLVED.
The decision involves more
than $4,000 worth of property,
with improvements, in the town
of WILLIAMSON alone, including
a lumber mill, an oil mill,
roller mill, the postoflice, the
town hall, several stores, a
bank, a portion of the local GEM
etery, Ia residences and other
property. What is involved in
other towns and cities along the
line and in the country districts,
is only conjectural, but Mr.. Cos
sett's estimate of ST., 100000 is
very conservative.

Business was in larger volume, and
better feeling pervaded the Washington
Stock Exchange yesterday. 1t resulted in
transactions of 625 shares Of stock and
$500 in bonds.
Prices were possibly a shade lower than
last week, but with the disposition to
trade, the session was far more interest
ing than the dead-locked situation Of last
week when IL did not seem possible to
bring bidder and holder together. The
trading yesterday was fairly well scat
tered In bonds the trading was in ash
ington Railway and Electric As and
Capital Traction 5's. The prices Of the
latter were 113 and ia.
Washington Railway and Electric pre-
ferred stock sold from 81 down to 6S15
with eighty-fve shares on the record. This
was about the average prices Of the sales
last week, and the support Of the stock
yesterday might be considered good
Washington Gas. which seems to have
been on the down grade Of late. so far as
confidence in its value is concerned, was
sold at 1912, nearly two points below the
sales OF q week ago.
Mitchell Holds at 81.
Mitchell Mining came out in 1OO-share
lots. selling at 81 and S1.25 share. Its
side partner, Greene Cananea. suffered a
further slump selling at 69s.
There was considerable bidding on Mer-
ganthaler, but none Of the stock came
out on the bids at 206 and fractions be-
low.
While brokers were not quite optimistic
yesterday. there was decidedly a better
feeling. both with reference TO the New
York market and the local securities.
When one sits down to think it over,
there is no logical reason for the un-
usually low level Of prices The stock
/ explanations offered IN the financial pa
pers, which are but the repetition Of the
/ opinions of men, do not explain. and with
every low movement Of prices the idea is
uppermost that the bottom Is reached

Such Is the confidence in the recupera-
tive power Of stocks and bonds, that II
any sort Of support were once given 10
the market By the big inside interests
in New York, II would recoil with bound
that would carry securities skyward.
But the insiders. for some reason, do not
give that support, and the market is left
