Trustees of School Will Ask Forfeit.

In the view of the trustees of
the Fort Mill graded school,
there have been inexcusable de-
lays on the part of the contract
ors who are installing the heat
ing plant in the new building.
The delays have not only cost
the school district heavily in the
matter of the salaries of the
teachers, which have gone on
during the enforced cessation of
the school exercises, but even
greater loss to the community
has resulted from the demoraliza-
ton to the pupils consequent upon
the break in the class room work.
For all this the trustees will
expect the company which has
the contract to install the heat
ing plant to forfeit a nice round
sum for failing to do the work
promptly. Yesterday Mr.. L. J.
Massey, one of the active mem
bers of the board, stated to The
Times that the trustees were in
position to collect forfeit of the
contractors and that they certain
ly would do so. Mr.. Massey
also stated that the latest promise
OF the contractors is that the
plant will be ready for use this
(Thursday) morning, and that if
the promise panned out the
exercises of the school will be re-
sumed today or tomorrow. Mean
while, many of the patrons are
wondering what kind of noise
an Al school makes.

LOCAL MILITIAMAN SPEAKS UP
FOR LIEUT.. COLONEL LINDSAY

The Fort Mill militia officers
, have no stomach for the recent
criticisms of Lieut.. Col. John R.
Lindsay, of Yorkville, disbursing
officer of the South Carolina
National Guard, who was at
tackled in the meeting of the
National Guard association in
Columbia some weeks ago on the
score of accepting pay for ser
vices it was alleged he did not
perform at the encampment of
the Third regiment at Chickama-
qua Park last summer and be-
cause he accompanied the States
rifle team to Camp Perry in Sep
tember as coach. Recently the
criticisms of Col. Lindsay have
been given wide publicity by the
Columbia press.
Not one word which has been
said against Col. Lindsay will
weigh with people who under
stand the circumstances as do, :"
remarked Capt. T. B. Spratt, of
the Fort Mill Light Infantry,
yesterday. Col. Lindsay has
acted in good faith in his entire
connection with the militia and
he has not accepted one cent to
which ne was not entitled. He
spent two weeks in Chickamagua
last summer as disbursing officer
OF the Second and Third regi-
ments. 1t is claimed that he
should have been there only one
week, as he did not pay off the
Third regiment. Before either
regiment was ordered to Chicka-
magua correspondence passed be-
tween Col. Lindsay and the war
department and Col. Lindsay was
informed that a regular army
officer would pay off one of the
South Carolina regiments to be
ordered into camp at Chickama-
qua, but he was not told which
regiment, so he reported for duty
with the Third regiment, which
preceded the Second regiment.
He did not pay off the Third
regiment, but he was clearly
entitled to compensation for his
time, as his instructions from the
war department were not ex-
plclt; otherwise, the government
certainly would not have paid
him.
Col. Lindsay was ordered to
the national rifle shoot at Camp
Perry as coach of the South
Carolina team by the adjutant
generals department. 1t is
claimed that the duties of coach
are of great Importance and that
the work should have been done
by an expert. Perhaps that is
true, but since an expert was
not employed, Col. Lindsay's
work was as satisfactory as would
have been that of any other
officer of the South Carolina
National Guard.
l am not prepared to say that
this criticism of Col. Lindsay is
not actuated by an ulterior mo-
tive. I've heard it said that a
Columbia officer is anxious to
succeed Col. Lindsay. But if the
new governor cares to reappoint
a thoroughly efficient and honest
officer he will heed the applica-
ton of majority of the militia
officers by naming Col. Lindsay

FORT MILL POSTOFFICE MATTER
SUBJECT OF MUCH INTEREST

The announcement in The Times
last week that Mr.. B. H. Massey
is to be opposed for reappoint-
ment as postmaster of Fort Mill
for another term was interesting
news to all save the few who
had heard that Mr.. T. G.. Moser
is a candidate for the place. Mr..
Moser is a Republican and is an
employee of the Millfort mill.
He claims to have the indorse
ment of John G.. Capers, national
Republican committeeman from
South Carolina, and is said to
feel confident that Capers will be
able to have him appointed.
Friends of Mr.. Massey, however,
are not quite so certain of Mr..
Moser's success, as they have
appealed to Congressman Finley
and Senators Tillman and Smith
to use every legitimate influence
to have Mr.. Massey reappointed.
In connection with the Fort
Mill postmastership, Capers' in
fiuence with the Taft admins
tration is questioned, and on this
peg is partially hung the hope
that there will be no change.
1t will be recalled that a so-called
lilly white" Republican conven-
ton was held in Columbia a few
weeks ago of which Capers was
the head and front. In well in
formed Republican circles the
statement is made that President
Taft did not approve of the con-
vention and that Capers held it
in defiance of the presidents
wishes. If this be true, Capers
probably has lost the Job of
referee of South Carolina ap-
pointments. Upon this assump-
tion it is concluded that to State
Chairman Tolbert, of the black
and tan wing of the party, will
be referred all applications for
Federal appointments in the
State.
Mr.. Moser, as we'll as Capers.
was a delegate to the lilly white
convention. Tolbert had nothing
to do with the convention. On
the other hand, he let it be known
that he was inimical to it, and in
proof of his disfavor sent a letter
to Capers the day of the conven-
ton calling upon Capers to resign
as member of the national
Republican committee. Capers
was told that if he did not resign.
Iolbert would call meeting of
the regular Republican State ex-
ecutlve committee and that the
place would be declared vacant.
AS yet, Capers has not resigned
nor has the Tolbert committee
met to take action upon the mat
ter. Meanwhile, however, it is
certain that there is an absence
of good feeling between Tolbert
and Capers and all the latter's
n men, and that if it is put up to
Iolbert no one who took part in
the lilly white" convention will
get a Federal appointment in
South Carolina as reward for
his activity. Indeed, the regu-
lars do not recognize the ''lily
whites" as Republicans, and it
is certain that the Fort Mill post
office will not go to Mr.. Moser if
Tolbert has say in the matter.

IN THE WORLD OF FINANCE
UTILITY BOARD GIVES
CONSENT TO BOND ISSUE.

TRENTON. Sept SO.--The proposed
sale of 100000 worth of per cent
mortgage bonds desired by the New
Jersey and Hudson River Railway and
Ferry Company has been approved by
the State Board of Public Utility Com
missioners and now the company is
a liberty to issue and deliver the
bonds. Money derived from the sale
is to be used for additions to the power
plant and extension of tracks.
Permission has been denied by the
same commission to the Hoboken Man
ufacturers' Railroad Company to cross
fifteen streets in Hoboken. The Board
of Trade of Hoboken opposed this APP
plication. In dismissing the petition
the commission says that application
and plans should be submitted to the
local authorities and that the applica-
ton then may be reopened before the
commission upon notice to the city OF
Hoboken, which action will not be
prejudicial to the railroad.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30.-The cotton
market opened firm OF an advance of
10 to II points on much better cables
than due and private reports predict
ing a settlement of the Manchester
labor troubles tonight.
Realizing was very heavy at the ini-
tial advance here, which carried March
contracts up TO the 14-cent level, but
while early fluctuations were some
what irregular there was a continued
good demand from Wall Street and
Western sources and reactions during
the early trading were comparatively
slight
1t was rumored that some Of the
bigger bulls were taking profits, but
prices after easing off or 10 points
from the best showed the presence Of
a continued good outside demand. and
while business was a little less active
at midday the market ruled very
steady at a net advance of about to
II points, with the late months rela-
lively firm. Local traders were talk
ing more of a reaction before the pub
lication of the governments report on
Monday, but there appeared to oe
very little aggressive selling for a
decline.

SILK TRADE LOOKS FOR
BRISK SPRING AND SUMMER,

NEW YORK, Sept. ao.-That cheer
full times are in store for the silk trade
seems to be certain, as manufacturers
are making extensive preparations for
the coming spring and summer season
of 1911. Already a large yardage has
been placed under contract for the new
season, and additional orders are being
received each week from large buyers
who make their arrangements early
There are quite a few complaints
from manufacturers regarding the low
prices accepted on spring orders. Raw
silk has advanced sharply during the
last week, and manufacturers have
been forced to come INTO the market
and cover their future requirements at
higher prices than they expected TO
pay. Some manufacturers claim that
certain mills have taken on spring
orders at such low prices that it will
be impossible for them to deliver the
goods, without loss, II they are to be
properly made. and up to standard
quality

IMPROVEMENT in LIVE
STOCK AND GRAIN TRADE.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 30.-Live stock
and grain trade in this country showed
a material improvement during August,
compared with previous months, ac-
cordlng to figures compiled by the
bureau of statistics of the department
of commerce and labor.
Live stock arrivals at seven primary
markets amounted to 3,674,3 1856 head, the
largest monthly total for the year. and
much larger than the total for the
corresponding month last year. The
gain was due to the heavier inbound
movement of sheep and cattle
Grain receipts at fourteen primary
markets were 107, 604 9s5 bushels, which
indicates an unusually heavy move
ment of the new crop to the pricipal
centres of distribution.

eventually result in the creation OF
more optimistic sentiment generally
