points.
The market opened steady at an ad-
vance Of 4 to 10 points with the active
positions selling to 13 points net
higher during the first few minutes
on covering by local professionals who
had taken the short side for a turn to-
ward the end of last week and some
fresh buying encouraged by the steady
cables and the wet weather reports.
AS soon as the demand from shorts
had been supplied, however, 1t was
seen that bull support was not ag-
gressive and that commission houses
were selling out long contracts above
1895 for the new crop months. These
offerings checked the upward move
ment in spite Of many private reports
of unfavorable crop conditions-par-
ticularly from the Mississippi valley
and during the middle session the
market sold off s to points from the
top under realizing. Offerings were
Withdrawn at the decline, while bull
late trading the market rallied to
about the best prices Of the day with
the close only a point or so of from
the top.
Some few reports are coming in
from Eastern and Central sections in
dicating that unfavorable crop ac-
counts are much exaggerated, but an
impression has certainly been created
in local circles that excessive mois-
ture has prevented necessary farm
work and that the outlook Is not
promising. Meanwhile domestic trade
accounts continue to improve and pri-
yate cables received today said that
there was a better feeling In Liverpool
as a result Of diminishing stocks at
Manchester.
Southern spot markets officially re-
ported were unchanged to 1-S cent
higher.

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS.

- The winding-up commission few
days ago withdrew about $125,000 OF
the dispensary funds from the Pal
metto National Bank and the National
Loan and Exchange bank Of Columbia
and the Bank Of Aiken, and deposited
the same in Rock Hill, Chester and
Winnsboro. This action was taken be-
cause in the opinion Of the officials, the
banks from which the money was
withdrawn have not been as loyal to
the commission as they might have
been.
Columbia State, Monday: in reply
to a telegram from Gov. Ansel the war
department has notified the militia au-
thorities that Capt Thos. @. Donaldson,
Jr., will be detailed as instructor OF the
National Guard Of this state at the en-
campment at Greenville, beginning
July S. Capt. Donaldson is we'll known
throughout the state, being a son Of T.
O. Donaldson Of Greenville, and former
commandant at Clemson college. The
request Of Gov. Ansel was for the at
tendance Of Capt Donaldson at the en-
campment in Columbia, but from the
telegram received from the war de-
partment It is probable that some one
else will be detailed for the instruc-
tion work here.
Anderson special Of June 20, to the
News and Courier: James H. Cobb,
superintendent of the Bolton Cotton
mills, is dead the Rev. D. D. Richard
son, pastor of the Second Baptist
church Of Belton and the Gluck Mills
Baptist church of this city, Is in a
critical condition in a hospital here;
his wife is slightly injured, and the
Rev. E. A. Mcdowell Of Ninety-S Six,
field agent of the Baptist Courier, Is
seriously hurt, as the result Of col
lision between an inter-urban car OF
the Anderson Traction company and
an automobile, which occurred at
Breazeale's Crossing, nine miles east
of Anderson, shortly before noon to-
day. The dead and injured were oc-
cupants Of the automobile.
Comptroller General Jones today
gave out a summary of the assess

himself described as a "burlesque on
protection" AS a protective measure
the proposed tax is undoubtedly bur-
lesque with the favor 1t bestows on
few hundred pounds of South Carolina
tea, though other protective paragraphs
in the pending bill could be pointed out
that are much more indefensible-and
Mr.. Tillman will probably point out
few of them by way Of Illustration.
But the real point about tax on tea
has been its revenue raising capacity.
The presidents special message makes
it certain that tax Of 2 per cent Will
be levied on the net earnings of cor
porations and this levy is expected to
raise about s25,O00,000. But even with
that provision the bill bids fair to leave
an annual deficit of from $15,O00,0OO
to $40,0O0,000. With the deficit staring
the country in the face 1t Is hard to
see why tea should not pay its part.
The breakfast tables that bear up tea
cups are not ordinarily those of coffee
drinking laborers.

of a full and complete expose OF the

markable obstacles that have been
overcome up to this time, only adds to
the wonder that after all so much has
been accomplished. But daylight Is

ers in all the state, but has decided to
draw in his business, hence the sale OF
these magnificent h-producing
plantations.

Mr. Dunbar stated that he was ready
to admit the overcharges by the COM

liquor agent Of the company, who came
very near being arrested several times
while he was on the stand on the

Outcome of Summer Cruise.
The expedition was the outcome OF
a summer cruise in the Arctic seas
on the schooner Bradley, which ar
rived at the limits OF navigation In
Smith Sound late In August, 1907
Here conditions were found favorable
for launching n venture to the pole.
j. r. Bradley literally supplied from
his vessel the provisions for local use
My own equipment for emergencies
served we'll for every purpose in the
Arctic. Many Eskimos had gathered
on the Greenland shores at Annatok,
for the winter bear hunt. Immense
quantities of meat had been collected
and about the camp were plenty Of
strong dogs The combination was
lucky. for there was good material
for equipment.
"All that was required was convcn'
iently arranged for at point only
