HARTMAN BEFORE
COMMISSION MONDAY
Questions Which Tie Must
Answer Or Be jagged.

Following are the questions to
which Edward II. Hartman refused
TO reply at the hearing before the
interstate commerce commission last
February, and which he must show
cause why he should not answer at
a hearing in the federal court in New
York on Monday.
Were you directly or indirectly in
terested In any stocks that were
bought between July 10 and August
II. 1906, that appreciated!
Did you own any of the stock sold
to the Union Pacific by the Chicago
4 Alton?
Were the 10000 shares of Illinois
Central sold by yourself, Mr.. Rogers
and Mr.. StilIman, pooled!
Was that stock acquired with a
view of selling it to the Union Pacific
Was that stock purchased by you
at IA much lower price than 175 (the
price the Union Pacific paid, with
the intention of turning it over to
the Union Pacific!
Did you have an interest in 100000
shares sold by Kuhn, Loeb & Com
pany to the UnOn Pacific!
Was that 100000 shares acquired
by the same pool for the purpose OF
selling it to the Union Pacific!
Were any of the directors of the
Union Pacific interested, directly or
indirectly, in New York Central stocks
at the time they were sold to the
Union Pacific?
NEW YORK, October 17.-(Spec-
iaD-The government will test the
authority of the interstate commerce
commission to examine witnesses un-
der oath when Edward H. Hartman
and Otto H. Kuhn, the latter of Kuhn,
Loeb & Company, appear in feder-
al court here Monday and explain
why they should not answer certain
questions put to them at the hear
ing of the commerce commission held
in this city last winter, and which
they refused, upon the advice of
counsel, to answer. The questions,
for the most part, have to do with
the alleged skyrocket financing OF
the Chicago & Alton road and the
merging of the Hartman Pacific sys-
TENS.
The law under which the interstate
commerce commission derives it's au-
thority provides for the punishment
of any person or persons who refuse
to answer such questions as the COM
mission may PROFOUND to them.
All questions put to Mr.. Hartman
concerning the pool composed OF
himself and Frick and Rogers in the
purchase of Sante Fe stock were also
! declined, and are part of those the
| commission now demands that he an
swer. Questions as to Hartman
interest in the buying of 100000
! shares of Illinois Central railway
stock are cited among those refused
as well as the major portion of the
questions put to him concerning the
| facts under which the famous 10 per
cent. Southern Pacific dividend was
declared. The commission also wants
to know whether Hartman person
ally profiited, and to what extent, by
the sudden and rapid appreciation Of
| Southern Pacific stock following the
! dividend.

The Valenting Social

The Valentine social given by the Ladies Aid Society of the M, k. Church South at Echlin Hall last Wednesday night, was one of the largest social gatherings we have ever seen in Carlisle.
 The ladies and those who assisted them had spared no pains in preparing the very inter esting program which was earri- ed out to the letter. A number of beautiful songs were sung and numerous interesting recitations delivered, which was enjoyed by everyone present.
 One of the most inter es ting features of the evening was post office which had been established where very cute(?) valentines, for either lady or gentleman, could be got by inquiring for your mail and paying the requir- ed five cents for each parcel,
 At a late hour the tables were spread with all the good things to eat and of course everybody participated in that to their hearts content for there was plenty for all. There was placed at each plate beautiful souvenir in the shape of a heart.
 The hall was very tastefully decorated with allsizes and colors of hearts and beautiful pictures and the ladies deserve much credit for the splendid success attained through their untiring efforts.

A Letter.
To THE COTTON GROWERS OF
 CARLISLE AND VICINITY.

CARLISLE AND VICINITY.
 As the ginning season is draw ing to a close 1 wish to say a few words in regard to same. This is five seasons 1 have ginned at this place and this has been the hardest season of all on both man and machinery. l have always tried to keep my machin- cry in first class condition and large per cent of my net proceeds has been spent in improving my plant and putting in such machinery as would be more convenient for the farmer as well as myself, for it is on the farmer l depend for success. Especial attention has been given the gins each year, getting them in better condition to give good sample and also the largest possible per cent of lint to the 100 pounds of seed cotton.
 My machinery has always given reasonable satisfaction when cotton was dry and in proper condition, but on account of heavy rains during fall and winter 1 have received very little cotton that was not wet or full of hulls and trash making the work hard as 1 said on both man and machinery 1 found, after it was too late to make any change, that l needed muller" gins. This may never occur again, but rather than run that risk, I intend to replace my plain" gins with new 'huller" gins, to which will be attached the latest improved cleaning feeders. Other i'm provements will also be made that we may have a first class up-to-date outfit.
 I take this opportunity to thank all my customers and if you will continue to give me your support 1 think I can give you satisfaction.
 wish to say to other gin men that l am not trying to get your customers but there is enough cotton raised in this vicinity that rightly belongs to Carlisle to support a good gin, and if 1 put in good machinery and do good work think I am justified in asking the support of this vicinity.
 The Carlisle Mercantile Co.,, ] w. H. Nichols and others have made Carlisle a good cotton market this year and no doubt will be better next year, so in coming season bring your cotton here if it belongs here and let us all work together for the upbuild ing of our town and community.
 Yours truly
 R. A. PERKINS.
