VOTING TRUST ILLEGAL.
Injunction Issued Against Rocking

Charlotte, N. c., October 31.-Al-
leging that a voting trust, entered
into by common stockholders of the
Rockingham Power Company, which
is developing great water power at
Blewett Falls, this State, is illegal

cured a restraining order enjoining
Mitchell and Warner from exercising
control over the common stock Of the

Adler Will Face Charges.

New Orleans, La, Nov. 1.-Attor-
neys for William A. Adler, formerly
president of the defunct State Ma
tional bank of New Orleans, to-day
gave out statement confirming the
reports that Adler was coming back
from Honduras to stand trial on In
dictments against him in the United
States court.
Adler suddenly left New Orleans last
year on the steamer Alps, which he
loaded with a full cargo of supplies
from the Adler wholesale grocery
company. Almost Immediately after
he disappeared the grocery COM
pany went into the hands of re-
ceiver with long list Of New York
creditors and this was soon followed
by the liquidation of the State Ma
tional bank. In his flight to Hondu-
ras the steamer Alps was wrecked off
the coast of Honduras, but Adler and
his son got ashore with small iron
safe. An examination of the affairs
of the bank by United States in
spector resulted in indictments of
Adler for illegal conduct in admins
tering the loans of the bank.

MAY Be Released.

Lexington, October 31.-There is
apparently something "fishy' in the
case of 2. w. Wooten, the white man
who was arrested several days ago,
accused L the awful crime of Grim
inally assaulting his little 15-year-
old stepchild, an imbecile. The time
has been set for preliminary on two
different dates and each time the
prosecutors have failed to show up.
The officers have so far been unable
to locate the prosecutors, who reside
in Sumter county, and it is not known
where they are. Wooten still pro-
tests his innocence and sticks to his
former statement that it was all a
put up scheme to keep him from
showing the girl at the State Fair.
Unless those who caused his arrest
turn up next week it is likely that the
solicitor will order Wooten's release.

Cotton World Looking Up.

Great is the reaction in the New
England cotton mills from their re-
cent state of idleness. Within the
last three weeks three coastwise
steamships have carried more than
100000 bales of cotton out Of Savan-
nah into Boston. Yesterday high
official of coastwise steamship line
reported that the buying of cotton
in the New England states within the
last few weeks, judging from the
shipments given to his line, exceeds
the orders for any similar period in
several years. For months, as a re-
suit of the financial depression, in
which thousands of mill hands In
Massachusetts and sister states were
laid off, the drop in the buying Of
cotton by the wooden manufacturers
was tremendous. The reaction seems
correspondingly large. The steamers
City of Macon, City of Memphis, and
City Of Columbus, which the Savan-
nah line has been operating as freight
and passenger carriers into this port,
were taken off that service because
of the cotton-carrying orders. That,
railroad business is steadily increas-
ing is indicated by the number of idle
freight cars in this country and Cana
da. The American Railroad associa-
tion reports the number of idle cars
on October 14th as 1906. This
means that 1876 idle cars were put
in use in the preceding fortnight.
The number of idle or surplus cars
was larger on April 10Th, when there
was total of more than 413,000.
The number has been decreasing
steadily ever since.-New York Times.

FAIR WEEK POLITICS.
NJ, l.. Smith to Run for Governor on
Prohibition Platform.

Columbia, Nov. 2.-There was the
usual amount of fair week politics
engaged in here last week among the
numerous men more or less proml-
nent in state politics from various
parts of the state in Columbia to see
the fair and each other, but diligent
inquiry failed to reveal anything deh-
mite cooked up" as a result of this
gathering of politicians. In fact the
only thing definitely attempted ap-
pears to have signally failed. There
was much talk of an attempt on the
part of Representative Wyche, of
Newberry, and his friends, to prepare
the way for organizing the new house
on the prohibition issue with Mr..
Wyche as speaker, but this scheme
got no encouragement even from the
prohibitionists on account of the gen.
eral popularity Of Speaker Whaley,
who it is conceded cannot be beaten
for speaker.
The logrolling this week has had
only the effect of bringing the GER
tainty of his reelection into bolder
relief. Mr.. Whaley himself, who was
here several days, frankly told his
prohibition friends of the new house
that he could not support statewide
prohibition measure. He did not re-
gard it as giving the state generally
square deal for Charleston mem
Der to vote for prohibition, because
if he was frank he must acknowledge
that the Charleston sentiment for
prohibition was not sincere, and all
Charlestonians knew that prohibition
could not be enforced there.<
The prohibitionists, however, claim
that their count of noses In the new
legislature clearly shows that they
have a safe majority in both houses,
and they profess to thoroughly be-
lieve that statewide prohibition will
succeed next spring. It was said that
a straw vote had been taken among
the new members through correspon-
dence, but the man credited with hav-
ing the letters denied that he had So
licited such an expression, and did
not know anybody who had done so.
Ex-Speaker of the House M. L.
Smith frankly acknowledges that he
will run for governor two years hence
on prohibition platform, but he
says he will have other very impor-
tant planks in his platform. He had
deal of support pledged to him
here this week.
An interesting feature of the week
was the evidence Of an undercurrent
of politics that bubbled up through
the speeches delivered at the mass
meeting of farmers here fair week.
Many people in the audience read
Senator Smiths satirical jabs at "d1-
versifcstion'' put forth by Congress
man Lever who had preceded Mr..
Smith in the speechmaking, as the
solution of the cotton and agricultu-
raj problem generally in this state, as
an attack on Mr.. Lever for the lat
ter's activity against Mr.. Smith in the
recent primaries. Mr.. Lever as a
prominent member of the Federal
house agricultural committee has for
several years been getting very close
to the farmers throughout the state
through the farm demonstration
work, and in Mr.. Smiths work for
the cotton association it is natural
there might be rivalry between them,
although Mr.. Lever in his speech here
referred in a very complimentary way
to Mr.. Smith.
