A very large amount Of the finest ma

Whence the Feather.

A neatly dressed man with SER
ious expression on his countenanee
stood on Broad street bridge intently
studying a long, speckled feather
which he held in his hand. A passing
acquaintance saw it and stopped.
"Where did it come from?' asked
the new arrival.
"You wouldn't guess in a thousand
years where I got this feather,' the
serious faced individual mysteriously
replied. "Here's the wind blowing

agreed to the Ansel plan for vote

He Seems to Have Inside i'r: OK so
Far for Postmastersh:p, Being In

The State.
Washington, April 1.-The Spar
tanburg postofice vacancy has not
been brought officially to the atten-
ton of the president and there is no
reason to believe that unof6cially it
has been mentioned to him, but your
friends, Hitchcock and Capers, are
considering it.
MI. VIM. NJ. Floyd, commonly
known as "Mart,' was today escort
ed into the Hitchcockion presence by
Messrs. Capers and BlalQek. Nj, Floyd
presented stack about a foot high
of letters Of commentator from all
sorts and conditions Of men in Spar
tanburg. Even the girls of Converse
college seem to have smiled on him as
he left on this mission, while the Wof-
ford boys were unanimous. Mr.. Floyd
is undoubtedly considered good raw
material by the postmaster manufac-
turing concern. Altogether it appears
at this writing that he is ahead OF all
the rest in the running.
MI. Hitchcock was asked by others
today, however, to hold up the final
determination of the matter until ev-
erybody has had All opportunity to
present his claims. It does not appear
that this appointments is going to be
rushed through. Even Sheugh the
postmaster general should c6nse to a
decision, Mr.. Taft probably will go
through some kind of form of asking
the South Carolina senators who are
in position to hold up nomination If
the man in contemplation is objection
able.
The senate is meeting now but two
days in the week, Monday and Thurs
day, so certainly no name can be sent
in before next Monday. Since neither
Of the South Carolina senators will be
here before Monday, 1t IS not at all
likely any name will be sent to the
senate for week under any circum-
stances.
Mr.Floyd is a republican in good
standing and was delegate to the
Chicago convention which nominated
Mr.. Taft. He went there as an al
ternate, but in several votes acted as
principal. As member of the State
executive committee at Chicago he al
50 voted for Mr.. Caper as national
committeeman. He has the active in
dorsement of Capt. Capers in his pres
ent application. Unless somebody
else presents some unusual reason for
taking precedence Of Mr.. Floyd, he
will be Spartanburg.'s next postmas-
ter.

Quite Sufficient.

4 child-loving man was on his way
to Denver to transact some import
ant business. During the afternoon
he noticed, in the opposite section of
the Pullman, a sweet-faced, tired-ap-
pearing woman, travelling with four
small children. Feeling sorry for the
mother. he soon made friends with the
little ones.
Early the next morning he heard
their eager questions behind the cur
tains of the berths, and the patient
"yes, dear,' Of the mother as she
tried to dress them, and looking out,
he saw a small white foor protruding
beyond the opposite curtain. Reach
ing across the aisle he took hold Of
the large toe and began to recite:
"Tllis little pig went to market,
This little pig stayed at home;
This little pig had piece Of roast
beef,
This little big had none;
This little pig cried 'wee-wee all the
way home. -
"How is that?' inquired the eag-
er man.
Then the foot was suddenly with
drawn, and cold, quiet voice said

SULlY WOULD HELP
SOUTHERN FARMERS
TO TAKE cotton NOUTOF HANDS
OF SPECULATORS.
Proposes System by Which One-Third
of Cotton Crop Can be
Held.

Atlanta, Ca, April 2.-"When the
farmers Of the South and the business
men Of the South say the word, funds
will be Immediately available in sufi-
eient volume to forever place the great
Industry of cotton production upon a
stable foundation, free from the
chance fluctuations, of the market,
relieved of the attack Of manipula-
ton and leaving the gigantic crop
monopoly Of this section to respond,
unembarassed and unrestricted, to
the legitimate laws of supply and de-
mand. The result should mean to the
South an annual cash saving ranging
from sl5O,OO0,0O0 to $25O,OOO,OOO."
In these plain terms Daniel J. Sully,
the man who drove cotton to its high
est market price since the Civil war,
today outlined the purpose Of his visit
to Atlanta and the South.
Continuing, Mr.. sully said his plan
contemplates "the creation Of an I'M
pregnable business system which shall
do away with the annual necessity OF
the farmer sacrificing millions Of bal
es Of cotton for pressing debt, congest-
ing the market, hammering down prlc-
es, upsetting the regulations Of sup
nlv and demand and losing to this
section the tremendous sums that are
its due in return for the crop indls-
pensable to the needs of civilization.
ssI do not ask one penny from the
Southern people, I do not ask the
pledging Of one bale of cotton until
I have given ample good faith Of suf-
fcient financial backing, from sources
that are unquestionable, to carry every
detail of the plan into effect to safe
guard the interest Of every farmer IN
the South, from the man who raises
one bale to the man who raises l,OOO
bales.
"A minimum fund Of $l0,000,OOO
subscribed by the most conservative
financiers Of the United States, IS
available to be invested in such IRON
clad securities as shall insure the ahl-
itv and the responsibility Of the plans
promoters to redeem their promises
and obligations to the last detail.
<EThe people of the South will be
given the first opportunity to invest
in this project if upon receiving it, 1t
co1nmends itself to their judgment.
stThe backbone Of the plant IS a
chain Of bonded warehouses through
out the South, sufficient in number
and character to house one third OF
the crop, and that one-third, as has
M demonstrated. will be the bal
Of power which will render mar
CONGESTION impossible and insure
&e disposal Of the crop in strict con-
Yformitv with the laws Of supply and
demand"
In borrowing money on his ware
house certificates, Mr.. Sully said, the
farmer does not surrender the equity
in his cotton. cit is his to sell when
ever he pleases, Or to hold as long as
he pleases, with the plain business eS-
oeption that the certificate he may
have used as collateral for the loan
is iis~a prior lien upon the bale, which
must be satisfied out Of the sale OF
the bale when that elimination is
reached.'
The company would be paid a llon1i-
nal fee for each bale of cotton haad-
led and in this way, Mr.. Sully figdr-
es, fair profit will be realized on the
investment.

WEST MAKES NO CHARGES.
Dispensary Auditor Says He EGade Ii
Statement That He Cannot
Prove.
News and Courier.

Columbia, April l.-Touchine that
part of his report which refers to the
sale of beer on credit DiSpensary Aud
itor West, after reading the editorial
in today's News and Courier, stated
that he charges the board with moth
ing nor does he charge any of the bot
ting plants, but the facts are that
beer is sold on credit in the following
manner in Charleston:
The bottling plant sells to the con-
sumer on credit, and, although the
county dispensary receives its profit
each day, the beer is nevertheless sold
on credit, which is a violation Of the
Carey-Cothran act.
As 20 the statement that Mr.. West
"has known the plant Of the Charles
ton board for selling ever since it was
determined upon with his knowledge
eighteen months ago." the dispensary
auditor said that he did know Of the
plan by which the dispensary received
its profit on the sales each day, but
he did not know until his investiga-
ton that the beer was being sold on
credit in some instances by the bot
tling plants.
AS to the profits made by the bot
ting plants Mr.. West states that his
report thereon does not give his fig
ures as absolutely correct, but that he
tried to arrive at the conclusion as to
cost, etc., as near as was possible.
Mr.. West referred to that part Of
his report which is as follows:
Cost of Production.
can effort has been made to deter
mine the exact cost to the beer bot
Ting plants of putting the beer on the
market, but this I find exceedingly
difficult, for the reason that the re-
turn Of empty boxes and bottles con-
stitute an important factor in the cost.
However, the following statement
made up at the Consumers Beer. Bot
ting establishment and agreed to by
Mr.. J. S. Farnum, president, will per-
haps give an idea Of the approximate
cost of fresh beer:
Original cost, per barrel, or "a
dozen ..9 oV
Original cost, crowns .. .. 30
Bottles (estimated) ;. .. 80. 3 80
Profit to county :. :. =. 1 10
Total cost ..9lo 80
"Sells to county delivery to con-
sumer) $1.40 per box, or $3.50 per
barrel, giving the gross gain Of $3.4
to the bother.
"Now from this gross gain, Of
course, the expenses Of icing, storing
and delivering and the general ex-
pense of maintaining plant must be
deducted to find the net gain to the
bottler.'
Mr.. West left today for Hampton,
where he goes to make the regular
checking up for that county and for
this reason he was unable to 60 fully
into a discussion of the report which
! has created such interest. He stated,
though, that he has no charges to
make against the integrity of any
member Of the Charleston county
board, and that whatever he has STAT
ed in his report he can verify, if nec-
essary.
It is very probable that there will
be some other developments in this
matter. Governor Ansel had nothing
/ to Say as to the report this morning,
as he had not had time to fully consid-
er the statements made therein.
