Columbia, S. C.-The liquor ques.

interesting matters ahich will come
before the legislature Of South Caro-
lima at it's session which will begin
Jan. II.
The bill passed last year, far from
settling the question, seems only to
have made both sides more determin

The statewide prohibitionists ar
que that they added Is counties to
the dry column in the election held
last August and that their gains
show that South Carolina is over
w1lelmingly for prohibition.
Tie local optionists combat this
asserting that the matter should be
left in statu quo for the present. as
there is a sufficient body of anti-pro

Chief Forester Dismissed From Ser
vice of the, United States.
Washington-GiffO Pinchot, chief
forester and intimate friend Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, has been dismissed
from the service Of the United States
by President Taft for insubordfnatiOn.
Associate Forester Overton W. Price
and Assistant Law Officer Alexander
C. Shaw, Pinehot's immediate assist
ants in the forestry bureau, followed
their chief out of the government en-
ploy.
Thoroughly indignant over the ac-
ton of Mr.. Pinchot in inducing Sena-
tor Dolliver to- read a letter from him
to the senate, President Taft would
listen to no advice that the f0rester's s
violation of executive orders be over
looked pending the inquiry soUn to
be undertaken by congress. He de-
clared the dignity of the Office he had
been chosen by the people to fill was
being attacked and he would be un-
faithful to his trust if he submitted
longer.

should give information concerning
affairs of the government except to
his superior officers. He also sug-
gested that the adoption of this course
tended to forestall and prejudice pub
lie opinion in relation to the Ballinger-
Pinchot controversy.
Preceding this incident, Senator
Jones' joint resolution for an inves-
tigation of the interior department
and of the forestry bureau was refer
red to the committee on public lands,
but the reference was not made IN

resolution by Senator Newland in

lands to report within two weeks re
commentators for legislation putting
into effect Secretary Ballinger's re
concentrations made in his last an
nual report for the conservation Of
national resources. Senator New
lands resolution also was referred
to- the committee on public lands.
In the senate Mr.. Pinchot's letter
caused a genuine sensation.

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.
Mere Than s2a, a,ooo,ooo Invested

Mere Than S23 ,o00o0 Invested In
New Looms and spindles for 1910.
Baltimore.-That the Southern cot
ton manufacturing industry had a
steady advance during 1909 is empha-
sized by Q review by the Manufac-
turers' Record of plans for new mills
and the enlargement of established
plants during the year Cotton manu-
facturers OF the South are realizing
more and more the possibilities Of
their section for tetxile milling, and
their frequent announcements Of ad-
ditions to spindles and looms prove
their faith in the future of the indus
try Moreover, not only Southern
mill managers, but also those Of New
England and other parts Of the coun-
try, are investing in Southern mills.
An important feature in Southern
cotton milling is the adoption of elec-
tricity for power, and many of the
new mills are equipped for its use,
while a number Of the existing plants
have changed their power equipment
to the electrical drive.
During October, November and De
cember announcements were made as
to decisions for the installation OF
S7,S92 spindles aud 2,749 looms,
which means an investment Of ap-
proximately s2,500,OO0, about half Of
these amounts being for the new
corporations and the other half for
the existing companies.
The total for the year is 9S2,320
spindles and 1927 looms, requiring
an investment Of more than 23,000,-
900. Comparing these figures with
the 14S,S0S spindles, an investment Of
$2,7O0,o0O, for 1908, it is evident to-
what ar extent activity has increased
in adding to Southern mills.
