NEW COTTON srATrsrIos LAW.
Southern Congressman Believe 1t
Will Hamper Cotton Gamblers.

Washington, Feb. 2O.--Much store
Is set by Southern Senators on the
bill which recently passed the House
and which authorizes the director of
the census to collect and publish sta
tistics of stocks of baled cotton in
the United States to supplement those
already authorized by existing law.
1t Is conceded by the House Cen
sus Committee that the resolution,
If enacted into law, would reduce
speculation In cotton and would re-
move all doubt relating to the cot
ton situation and afford needed in
formation for all concerned.
The purpose of the proposed re-
ports is to furnish reliable informa-
tion to producers, manufacturers
and others as to the quantity of
available cotton on the dates to
which the reports relate, which are
on the first day Of each November,
January and March.
This, the report continues, would
serve as guide for the producer in
disposing of his product and in di-
recting his plans in regard to the
standing crop, also, furnishing the
manufacturer with desired infor-
nation as to the available supply of
cotton, which may be of assistance
to him in purchasing or in contract
ing for the manufacture and deliv-
cry Of goods"
1t is set forth that the three re-
ports called for by the resolution
would not cost more than $4,000
for the preparation. The bill will
now go to the Senate for considera-
ton.

MAY HAVE CURFEW IN CHICAGO
Boys and Girls to BE Kept Out of

Chicago, Feb. 27.--South Chicago

the protection of its children. Min

priests, attorneys, doctors and police
have mapped out a general line Of
action, and a committee has been ap-
pointed to see that the work does not
lag.
The congregation at night of boys
and girls in nickel theatres, penny
arcades, fruit and confectionery
stores, and in public parks Is consid-
cred one of the principal causes of
Juvenile delinquency, and to cure this
evil an attempt will be made to en-

Daniel Bassett Leach, an aged clergy
man of Bone Gap, near here, was
told recently that he was going to
die. He asked that his phonograph
be brought to his bedside. Into the

Besides an address, he spoke some
prayers and a benediction.
When Mr. Leach had finished he
had the records repeated. Then he
asked that they be used at his fune-
raj. His relatives assented, and thus
his family congregation and friends

scAREs FOXES TO GET pELTs.
This Man Frightens Reynard Until
His Hair Turns White.

A dispatch to the Philadelphia
North American from "Skinnem, :"
Pa, says: One of the rearest of fur
bearing animals is the silver gray
fox, whose skin is worth from 5000
to $500. That it was possible to
artificially produce silver gray fox
skin was not thought within the
range of mans ingenuity until this
winter. M. f. Murphy, late Of Stam-
ford, Conn, has shown that it can
be done.
He simply takes fox of ordinary
breed and average Intelligence and
places 1T in an enclosure with a muz-
zled hound dog. The hound pursues
his quarry with fierce intensity with
out being able to harm the fox, and
in good time scares the animal so
much that it's hair turns white. This
can often be done in a single night.
Mr.. Murphy is rapidly buying up
all the live red foxes that can be pur-
chased in the open market, as we'll
as plentiful supply of wicked hound
dogs, and he will shortly go into the
business on large scale.
He tried the same experiment on
minks, hoping to transform them in
to ermine, but the minks wouldn't

DeafneIs Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian tube When
this tube is infamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed,
deafness Is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dftion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.

REFUsEs TO RAISE SALARY
or the President OF the United States
From $4,000 to 100000.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The House
to-day rejected the Senate provision
of the legislative bill increasing to
100000 the salary of the President.
In lively debate to-day the House
on the conference report in the legis-
lative, executive and judicial appro-
priation bill, Messrs. Underwood, of
Alabama, and Clark, of Missouri.
criticized the Senate increases in ap-
,eBppriations, especially in reference
!2salaries.
Messrs. Bingham, Of Pennsylvania,
, Gillett, of Massachusetts,, and Living
ston, of Georgia, the House conferees,
strenuously defended their report,
which, in SO far as there was no dis
agreement, was adopted.
When the discussion turned on the
increased salaries of the President,
Vice President, Speaker of the House
and Judges, about which the confer
ees could not agree, Mr.. Clark renew
ed his criticisms, declaring that in
stead Of $4,000, the President actu-
ally received $291,000 per annum.
The vote on each increase was
taken separately. BY 81 to 1O2 the
House refused to accept the Senate
amendment increasing the speakers
salary.

Begin Holding Cotton.
Sumter Item,)

(Sumter Item.
Right now Is the time for the far
':leis to begin to hold their cotton
crop. Don't wait for the crop to be
coming on the market or you will be
in the same deplorable fix that you
were in last fall, when, in spite Of all
the suggestions and the promised aid,
the cotton poured into the market.
Remember that no plan is going to
succeed which does not include the
cooperation Of the merchant and
the banker. The farmer has failed
heretofore because he would not
work for that cooperation, because
agitators excited suspicion and want
ed to get in the limelight by attack
ing somebody. They offered no prac-
tical plan; they broke up the plan
by which the South had been united
in the fight and had secured great
advantages. The agitator can tell
you no truth that you do not al
ready know, but he can blind your
Judgment by arousing q foolish pre-
gerous element. 1t Is cool business
judgment that we need now, not agi-
tation; 1t Is plan for the strong to
help the weak, for us to get the bene-
ft OF our crop while we are holding
1t, for all parties in interest to work
together, or just as many as we can
enlist; 1t must be an unbroken front
from the South to the new world, for
we have the world to fight and we
cannot fight among ourselves. Every
day that passes now without seeing
some work done in this direction is
day lost to the South, and another
year of the same hopeless failure as
we have recorded against us last
year Will make ultimate success very
doubtful. Can't you do something?
