GEN. BOYD NOT SATISFIED.
Threatens to Carry Brock Case Be-
fore Grand Jury.

Columbia, Sept. 6.-I will carry
the Brock case before the grand jury
If Gov. Ansel does not take some ac-
ton on the report of the Court of In
quiry, said Adjt Gen. Boyd today in
discussing the fact that, although
Gov. Ansel has had the report for
several months, he has taken no Off
cial action.
1t was stated by Adjt. Gen. Boyd
that he would send letter to Gov.
Ansel in few days asking that some
action be taken on the report Of the
Court OF Inquiry.
The report of the Court of Inquiry
to investigate into certain charges
against w. T. Brock, the assistant
adjutant general. cost the State over
$1,000. This item of expense will
come before the next session of the
Legislature for action. Nothing Of a
material nature has been accomplish
ed by the report so far, according to
statements made by those who have
kept In touch with the situation.

SPOKE LIKE A MAN.
Lyon For Fcatherstone-Says His
Defeat Would Hinder Prosecutions,

Spartanburg. Sept. S.-All the can
didates for State offices In the sec
ond race look on Spartanburg as the
strategic point and propose to put
in their last and best work here.
M essrs. Cansler and Hampton, can
didates for railroad commissioner,
and Messrs. Moore and Richardson,
for Adjutant and Inspector General,
work. each trying to convince the
people that he is the logical man for
the office he seeks. Mr.. Featherstone
was here a few days ago, and Mr..
Blease is expected to arrive in a few
days to make this his Headquarters
for the rest of the campaign; in fact,
1t is understood he has already had
his mail sent to a local hotel.
1t is reported here that several
men are actively at work for Mr..
Blease in the mill districts, where he
will poll his heaviest vote. Friends
Of Mr.. Featherstone are actively at
work, though perhaps not so busily
as those for Mr.. Blease Which will
lead in this county is problematical,
everyone claiming that his favorite
man will do it, All admit that the
race will be close. Each is going to
get big slice of the Mcleod vote,
but who will get the larger part is
at best a hazardous guess. In the
first primary, Mr.. Featherstone, led
Mr.. Blease by twenty-three votes
only out Of a total Of $3.50 for the
two men, and $500 for all candidates.
The most important development
in the political situation since the first
primary last week was a statemet is
sued by Attorney General Lyon last
night urging the election of Mr..
Featherstone and declaring that the
election of his opponent would in
terfere with the work of winding up
the old State dispensary. Mr.. Lyon
came into the city last night from
Glenn Springs, where he has been for
the past week, accompanied by Con-
gresham Aiken. Mr.. Lyon said:
II would regard it a great hinder
ance to the work of completing the
winding up the State dispensary if Mr..
Featherstone should not be elected.
II view the result Of the elec,i
as fully disposing Of the liquor ques-
ton in favor of county option. IT. is
no longer a matter Of the views Of
candidates as to the best method Of
regulating the liquor traffic or pro-
hibiting 1t. 1t is solely a question as
to which of the two candidates will
best serve the State at this time.
"The Legislature will register the
will Of the people on the liquor oues-
ton and Mr.. Featherstone, If elected
Governor, will stand for the enforce
ment of all law and the punishment
of all grafters duly convicted"

FOREIGN BANKERS PUZZLED.
In Regard to American Cotton Bills
OF Lading.

London, Sept. S.-The committee
of foreign bankers reached a decision
today on the subject of American cot
ton bills of lading but decided not
to divulge the same until it had been
submitted and approved at a full con-
ference of bankers to be held Sep
tember IA.
There has been wide divergence Of
opinion as to the advisability of send
inf the original ultimatum, in which
the British and continental banking
houses demanded that American
bankers after October 81, next, guar
antee all bills Of lading on American
cotton.
The objectors to the ultimatum
contend that this action constituted
n tacit admission that the bankers
here would assume a certain amount
Of liability for the genuineness Of the
bills. a situation which. the obJectors
maintain. does not exist. They point
out that in the event Of the American
bankers refusing the guarantee the
English banks would find themselves
in an untenable position, as England
must have the cotton which the
United States holds.

HARVESTER COMBINE ILLEGAL.
so DECLARED BY SPECIAL MIS-
SOURI, COMMISSIONER.
Report to Supreme Court States That
international Harvester Company,
OF New Jersey, Formed for Pu-
pose of Destroying Competition I'm
Manufacture and Sale OF Harvest
Ing Machinery.

Jefferson City. Mo-. Sept. 6.-Spe-
clal Commissioners Theo. Brace, in
his report to the Supreme Court. In
the custer suit filed today, declared
the International Harvester Company.
OF New Jersey. a trust and combine
formed for the purpose and with the
effect OF destroying competition In the
manufacture and sale OF harvesting
machinery.
Teh International Harvester Com
pany. OF America. Is declared to be
used merely as a selling agent by the
New Jersey Company, in evasion Of
the laws which prohibit the licensing
of the New Jersey corporal on by rea-
son OF its enormous capital of $780,
100000. The subsidiary corporation,
according to Commissioner Brace,
once had capital and now 1t has
none.
Its existence as a separate corpor-
ate entity Is a mere fiction to evade
the laws of States whose policy is
not TO encourage such vast accumu-
lation OF wealth and power In the
hands OF a few as may injure the
welfare and prosperity Of the many,
whose policy is TO keep open the field
OF commercial and industrial enter
prise to all citizens.
The commissioner found that the
Mccormick Harvester Company. the
Deerins Harvesting Machinery Com
Npany. Warder. Bushnell. Glessner &
Co., Plano Manufacturing Company,
ID. M. Osborne & Co.. and the Mil
waukee Harvesting Machinery Com
pany, the latter being a respondent,
were I'm active competition prior to
1902.
In June. 1902. Cyrus III. McCor-
mick went to Geo. w. Perkins, of ].
y. Morgan & Co.. OF New York, and
sought his aid in relieving competi-
tive conditions from the manufac-
turers' viewpoint. According to the
findings. Mr.. Perkins soon was In
communication with other harvesting
machine manufacturers, and perfect
ed a plan by which the Mccormick
Company and other named compa-
nies. except the Milwaukee company,
ostensibly sold their properties to
VIM. G. Lane. who the commissioner
found. pretended to sell them TO the
International Harvester Company.
The original companies received
stock In the new company. appor-
toned to the appraised value OF the
properties. and for their bills receiv-
able Morgan & Co. practically had
purchased the Milwaukee Company.
Lane. the ostensible purchaser Of the
original companies. the commission
er found. was a figurehead. The new
company was managed by former
officers Of the old companies. as was
the International Harvester Compa-
ny. OF America.
The whole stock of the New Jer-
sey company was transferred TO
voting trust composed OF George w.
Perkins. Cyrus Mccormick and Chas.
r. Deering. who had control until
1912.
The commissioner found these men
practically control the mower and
binder business and have potential
control Of other lines OF harvesting
machinery I'm the United States.

C. MASON PHILPOT
 FOR COUNTY JUDGE
Popular Sheriff. Who Soon RctireS From That Office, Announces His
 Candidacy to Succeed Gould.

| The announcement of C. M Phil 1 sheritis office, as q candidate for county and probate judge to succeed
 Judge James Gould, who recently re-
 signed as the nominee for the next term, appears in today's Graphic. MT,
 Philpot's candidacy Is subject to the action of the Democratic party in this county.
 We take pleasure in recommending the candidacy of MT. Philpot to the voters of this county He is honor able, efficient, conservative and pro- gressive. He says in his card of an- nouncement that he is a Good Roads enthusiast and that he will direct his efforts along the line of improv- ing the roads of this county. This is one of the most popular issues of the present day and we believe that Mir. Philpot will carry out the popu- lar policies of Judge Gould in this direction
 He is soon to end his fourth year as sheriff and collector of this coun- ty and wide experience has familiar ized him with the all-important dut- ies of the county and probate judges office. He knows what Jefferson coun- ty needs, what her people ought to have and if elected he would give them what they want in the way of improvements and cooperation from the office he seeks. No man stands higher in this community than MT. Philpot. He has been a life long Democrat progressive and energetic at all times when the welfare of the city or county were under considera- tion and there is no doubting the fact that his administration would be as successful and beneficial as any pre- decessor. His excellent services as sheriff are enough to recommend his candidacy favorably to the voters and If Mason Philpot is elected county and probate judge his supporters will never have occasion to regret casting their vote for him.
