STATE LEAGUE MEETING HELD.
Representatives OF Various Towns
Gather In Chester-Permanen Or.

Chester. April 1.-The representa-
tives of the State League towns met
in this city Wednesday night: Messrs.
w. B. Wilson and r. nj. London were
present from Rock Hill. and MIR. Lon
don held the proxy OF Sumter and
Gaffney. 1t was decided, at the re-
quest Of several of the towns. to post
pone the election of officers until next
Wednesday night, at which time a
meeting of the league will be held in
Rock Hill. AT that meeting all towns
must have representatives and put up
the forfeit money. The temporary
organization was continued.
1T would have been easy to organ
lie Wednesday night with four clubs,
Gaffney, Rock Hill, Sumter and Ches-
ter. as all were ready. But it was
pointed out that a six cornered
league would be better and hence the
meeting was postponed one week in
order TO give Camden and Gastouia
time to come in.
Bonds will be mailed to the towns
desiring to come in the league in or
der that they may have their forfeit
money ready The organization will
take place on Wednesday night in
Rock Hill.
Mr. Joel w. Bailey of Greenwood
was suggested as a god man for pres
ident OF the league at the meeting
here on Wednesday night. Mr.. Bailey
is n thorough baseball man and is well
known all over the State. He can
have the office If he wants il. He is
the assistant editor Of the Greenwood
Index and would make a mighty good
president.

HILL REPORTS STEADY I~T.
PROVEMENT IN BUSINESS.
Future Full of Hope, He says. ard
sees Country Stronger, Better
Shape Than Ever.

New York, April 2.-Optimism is
the Keynote Of the opinions on the
business outlook of the country ex-
pressed by two men of great promi-
nence in the business world. James T
Hill and John w. Gates, who are both
In this city, the former from the west
and the latter from Texas. Both Mr.
Hill and Mr.. Gates profess to see a
distinct Improvement in general con-
ditions, gradual, it is true, but none
the less certain.
Mr.. Hill urges the paramount need
OF economy in business, and says the
experience of the last year and q half
has taught business men the truth Of
his theory. Mr.. Gates says that the en-
actment of the new tariff law is the
only thing necessary to assure the re-
sumption of industry in full swing.
When Mr.. Hill was seen at his Of
f1ce, he said: There is steady but
moderate Improvement in business
One Of the great things that hangs
over the country is the enormous ex-
penditure; not merely federal, but
State and muicipal, and constant eff
forts to produce revenues to meet
these expenditures. Economy in busi-
ness should be the watchword for the
future.
with the recovery from conditions
which prevail, the future is full of
hope. The experience was severe to
all the country, but 1 believe We have
come out of it with more intelligence
concerning national powers and in
stronger and better shape than ever.
THE farmers in the West are turn
ing bankers. If man wants to raise
loan on a piece Of property there,
instead of going to country bank,
he goes to the farmers in his locality.
who have the money and gets his
loan at to 6 per cent AS a result
the country banks are sending their
money to the large cities in search
of commercial paper This abundance
of money is one of the healthiest
signs that see in the West"
Mr.. Hill refused either to affirm or
deny the reports that all the differ
ences between the Hill and Hartman
interests had been settled.
Mr.. Gates on his arrival here went
at once to his office. When asked for
his opinion on the business outlook
Mr. Gates said:
When the new tariff bill becomes
law, confidence will be restored rap
idly. 1 am not interested in the stock
market. but il looks as if it would go
higher. There are several stocks on
the list I feel sure are going to ad-

revenue Officials Say That With Pro-

Illicit Distiliers As Profits Are
Greater.

Washington, April 4.-Oficials OF
the internal revenue bureau of the

ION that the temperance movement
winch has taken such a strong hold
or certain sections of the country.
particularly in the South, has result
ed in increasing the number OF viola
tions OF the revenue laws in the dis
tiiilng of illicit whskey. Recent re-
ports indicate that i'm many Southern
states especially Alabama, Georgia
and North aCrolina, there has beeen
greater activity on the part of the
iawless mountain element. who al
ways have been troublesome 10 the
revenue agents, than in many wears.
these three States now have laws pro-
hibiting distilleries from operating
within their borders IN Alabama the
law went into effect in July 1 1905.
in Georgia on January 1, 1898. and
In North Carolina January 1, 1909.
Many legitimate distilleries have mov-
ed to Florida and other States whore
the inhibition does not exist. whis-
key being more difficult to obtain in
legitimate way, the profits of Illicit
distilling have greatly increased with
the result that the activities of the
internal revenue bureau at this time
are largely directed towards the.
mountain sections of these three
States.
In 1908 there were 1,130 Illicit stills
destroyed; in 1907 there were 1.13s,
and in 1906 there were 1876, but the
returns for the nine months of the.
present fiscal year show a decided in
crease in the number destroyed, the
number so far reported this year be-
ing l.o17, with the probability that by
July that number will have been
increased to approximately 1900. The

the legitimate laws of supply and de-
mand. The result should mean to the
south an annual cash saving ranging
from s15O,00O,0O0 to $3.50, 900, ,OOO."
In these plain terms Daniel ]. Sui
~, the man who drove cotton to its
highest market price since the Civil
war, today outlined the purpose of his
visit to Atlanta and the South.
Continuing. Mr.. Sully said his plan
kcontemplates "the creation of an i'm
pregnable business system which
snail do away with the annual neces-
sity Of the farmer sacrificing millions
OK bales of cotton for pressing debt,
ccngesting the market, hammering
down prices, upsetting the regula-
tions OF supply and demand and los
ing to this section the tremendous
sums that are it's due in return for
the crop indispensable to the needs
of civilization.
i DO not ask one penny from the
Southern people, / do not ask the
pledging Of one bale of cotton until !
have given ample good faith of suf-
ficient financial backing. from sources
that are unquestionable, to carry ey-
cry detail of the plan into effect to
safeguard the interest of every farm
er in the South. from the man who
raises one bale to the man who raises
1000 bales.
"A. minimum fund Of $4,000, 900,
subscribed by the most conservative
hnanciers of the United States. is
aavilable to be invested in such IRON
clad securities as shall insure the
ability and the responsibility of the
plans promoters to redeem their
promises and obligations to the last
detail.
THE people Of the South will be
given the first opportunity to invest
in this project, If. upon receiving it, it
commends itself to their judgment.
"The backbone Of the plan 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
been demonstrated, will be the bal
ance Of power which will render mar
ket congestion impossible and insure
the disposal Of the crop in strict con-
formity 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. 1T is his to sell when
ever he pleases or to hold as long as
he pleases, with the plain business
exception that the certificate he may
have used as collateral for the loan
Is 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 NOM
inal fee for each bale of cotton hand
led and in this way, Mr.. Sully figures,
fair profit will be- realized on the
investment
