COTTON GOODS TRADE.
Imminence Of Government Report
On Crop Cause Assigned for
Slackening of Operations.

New York, Dec. 5.-The immi-
nence of the government bureau re-
port on the cotton crop Is a cause
assigned for the light trading in the
cotton goods and yarn markets.
Buyers attach considerable impor-
ance to 1t and are operating in a
hand-to-mouthS way, hoping that
something will happen to prevent
the further advance in cloths which
must follow the sustained value Of
the staple.
There has been considerable trad
ing between second hands in the
primary markets at prices showing
concessions from recent quotations.
but mills and commission houses are
holding steady and are rot disposed
to accept further contracts until
there is some assurance that values
Will warrant cotton purchases and
continued production. Retailers are
pusy with the holiday trade,
and are naturally paying the mini
mum of attention to piece goods. At
the same time jobbers and selling
agents are charging many goods on
old orders and mills are fairly well
engaged for the balance of the year
on medium count and fine yarn
goods.
The dullness in export circles
continues and the coarser end Of
the market remains quiet. Yarn
prices have declined a little and
buyers are conservatively inclined.
General trade in the West and
South holds up better than in the
metropolitan sections in the East.
Prices remain nominally as when
last quoted, but on tranactions be-
tween second hands value are
easier.

MAY FORFEIT THEIR CLAIMS
NEW DEVELOPMENT IN THE
DISPENSARY SITUATION.
Whiskey Firms Payment of Whose
Claims Against County Dispensa-
rfes was Held Up by the Winding
Up Board and Who Failed to An.
peal to the State Supreme Court
will Probably Loose Their Money!

Columbia, Dec. 5.-The never end
ing dispensary web has developed
another serious situation. Whiskey
firms not appealing to the Supreme
Court will likely forfeit their claims
against the county dispensaries, II
there have been over-judgments
against them by the winding-up
commission. This new phase Of the
claimants run will mean at least
$65.000 in over-judgments secured
by the State IL it pans out as ex-
pected. @
There has been great deal Of
speculation recently as to what
method would be pursued by the
State to recover the over-judgments
or what the claimants were going to
do to get their money from the
county dispensaries. Not long ago
Governor Ansel ordered the county
dispensary boards to hold up the
claims of the firms named in the
commissions findings against whom
over-judgments had been found. The
claims were also held up in dispen-
sary counties, Charleston, Richland.
Beaufort, Aiken, Georgetown and
Florence. 1t has been stated that
the whiskey firms understood that
the appeal would be to the Circuit
Courts, but it now appears that the
firms not appealing to the State Su-
preme Court are in bad way.

WARDS WOUND PROVES FATAL.
Young Georgetown Man Succumbs to
Injuries Received while Hunting.

Georgetown, December arthur
F. Ward died at 9.15 o'clock this
morning as the result of gunshot
wounds accidentally received while
hunting ducks in the rice fields on the
Santee River yesterday afternoon. His
death was due primarily to shock and
loss of blood and the long interval Of
suffering from the fearful wound in
his thigh before medical aid could be
secured. He was conscious through
out the night and to within a few
moments of the end. He exhibited an
heroic cheerfulness, which caused
those at his bedside to hope there
was still chance for life. But his
vitality had received too severe a
strain and he breathed his last
peacefully, surrounded by loving
members Of his family and devoted
friends.

TAX REFORM NEEDED.
COMPTROLLER GENERAL ZONES
WILL MAKE SUGGESTIONS.
FARMERS Own Little Land and Con-
tention is That They Should Favor
REIMBURSEMENT Of Present Method
of Making Returns.

Columbia, Dec. 3.-In his annual
report to the legislature Comptroller
General Jones will call attention to
some necessary tax reforms. This
will be especially timely, as the year
1910 is the time for reassessment of
real estate for taxation in this State
and it has been suggested that there
might be some improvement in the
laws. 1t is not known whether the
legislature will take a hand in the
matter during the approaching ses-
sion as the tax proposition was not
considered at the last session and
that was the first of the present two
years term.
Mr.. Jones is of the opinion that
the bulk of the land in this State Is
not owned by farmers, that is those
who actually superintendent the
farm work. He calls those men far
mers who live on the farms and
make the cultivation of crops their
regular business and not those men
who live in towns and plant crops
from year to year through overseers
or renters.
Some time ago the press of the
State carried the following significant
paragraph:
Mr.. Jones came across some
striking inequalities in tax assess
ments in Williamsburg county.
Lands being sold at from s4OO to
$500 an acre are down on the tax
books at from SIS to $40 an acre and
other land farther from town. assess
ed at 81 an acre, has a ready mar
ket value at $50 an acre. Mr.. Jones
says the township and county equal
ization boards, which fix these
values, have got into the habit Of
guaging assessments by the amount
of taxes they think the property
holder should pay. In this way the
large property holders pay little,
taxes proportionately? 2, ss..s<..s ~.
