ident Diaz and President Taft this
fall will probably take place upon
the International bridge, connecting
Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo,
Mexico.
President Diaz wants to visit Mon

the meeting be at the Laredo-Nuevo
Laredo crossing. instead of at the Ell
Paso gateway, as had been suggest
ed.
Charles p. Taft, a brother of the
President, owns 0,000-acre
ranch about so miles from Laredo,

that property on his trip, it would
be convenient for him to visit Lar
edo, it is stated.

nesday the act of the Legislature
requiring the tobacco warehouses to
make detailed monthly reports to

ports, showing sales and prices from
the separate markets and publish
monthly detailed reports in one or
more newspapers in the State Of
general circulation. The penalty i'm
posed on any tobacco dealer for fail

FREE BAGGING-CHEAP TIES.
Concession was Made for the Sake Of
Economy of Time.

Washington, June 28.-Intense
hot weather brought out variety
OF picnic clothing when Seators as
sembled to-day to take up the tariff
bill, in the hope of soon concluding
consideration OF the dutiable sched-
ules and free lists.
Cotton Bagging Free.
Without debate the Senate to-day
placed cotton bagging on the free
list and agreed to the House rate of
three-tenths of a cent pound on
cotton ties. The concession on bag
ging was made to save time. The
item will still have to run the gaunt-
let Of conference.
The action of the Senate will
merely have the effect of throwing
the rate on cotton bagging into con-
ference, the house rate being six
tenths of a cent per square yard.
Action on cotton ties followed
quickly, there being at the time no
effort to place them on the free list.
The House bill levics duty Of three
tenths Of one cent a pound on these
and the conference committee did not
change it. The Southern Senators
have been demanding that they
should be free, but when the para
graph was reached it was allowed to
20 through, Senator Culberson an
nouncing that before the bill is final
ly acted upon he would offer an
amendment placing cotton ties on
the free list.
Mr.. Overman gave notice that he
would propose a change in the law
by which there should be a draw
back OF duties on cotton ties when
imported.
Egyptian Cotton Free.
Washington, June 28.-Southern
Senators to-day Intellectually endea-
vored to take long staple or Egyp-
tian cotton off tho free list and to
place upon it a duty Of four cents a
pound, which Senator Bacon, the
author of the amendment, declared
wa, revenue duty only.
If" he said, "wo were to place
lhe same duty on long staple cotton
that is placed upon wool, It would
bring into the treasury $9,O00,0O0
of revenue annually"
AS means of revenue, he said
the 10000 bales of Egyptian cotton
imported into the United Statrs an
nually should not be overlooked. Mr..
Bacon estimated that the low duty
proposed by him in ten years would
bring into the treasury $4,000, 900.
The fact that this class of cotton is
used in the making OF laces and
high-grade goods on which the duties
has been icreased in the pending bill
Mr.. Bacon said, was an assurance
that the duty would not add to the
prices of the articles made from the
long staple product.

TO U. S. SUPREME COURT
Goes Suit by DR.. Hopkins Against
Clemson College.
(Anderson Mail.)

hIO"iHS OuI Ol case which was
decided by the Supreme Court Of the
State, the question as to whether
Clemson College Is a State institu-
tion or not, will be definitely deter
mined by the Supreme Court of the
United States.
This case is. no doubt, of especial
interest to the people of the State,
now that there have been so many
questions raised in regard to the
college.
1t is alleged by attorneys interest
ed in the case that the college Is not
a State institution, as the will of Mr.
Clemson, which made the college pos
sible, provided for board of trus-
tees which should be self-perpetu-
ating and that this keeps the college
from being a State institution.
On the first day Of September,
1905, DR.. John Hopkins, a resident
Of Oconee county, brought an action
against Clemson Agricultural Col
lege for damages which he claims
that his bottom lands sustained by
reason of the erection by the board
of trustees Of large dixie on the
| eastern bank Of the Seneca river,
which dixie, it was alleged, prevent
ed entirely the natural and accustom-
ed overflow of the Seneca river on
said lands, thereby depriving them Of
the rich deposit necessary to their
| continued fertility and with the re-
suit that said lands have gradually
become less and less productive until
now they are comparatively worth
less for agricultural purposes.
The dixie was built under an act Of
the Legislature authorizing the same.
The suit was instituted by Attor-
ney r. u. Jaynes, of Walhalla. The
case was heard by Judge Aldrch,
who decided that Clemson Agricultu-
raj College was State institution
the State and dismissed the COM
paint. Mr.. Jaynes appealed and the
Supreme Court of South Carolina
sustained the court below.
JOS. A. Mccullough, Of Greenville,
| was employed to assist Mr.. Jaynes
for the purpose of having the ques-
ton tested in the Supreme Court Of
the United States, and the case is
now No. SAB on that docket
One of the main contentious of the
appellant is, that under the will of
Mr.. Clemson, who nominated the ma
jority of the board Of trustees, and
makes that majority self, rpetuat-
ing, the institution is not a State in
stitutiOn within contemplation of
| law, and, therefore, the Supreme
Court Of the State was in error in so
| holding.
1t is undel stood that there are sew
| eral other landowners along the Sem
eca river who will bring suits against
the Clemson trustees in the event
that DR.. Hopkins wins his case.
The Clemson authorities say they
are not apprehensive as to the out
come. They say that neither Dr.
Hopkins nor anybody else had suffer
ed the slightest damage because Of
the dixie.
