of that forum, and others identified
with cotton speculation in the me-
tropolis, were present to voice their
opposition to the inhibitory bills.
The committee has been receiving
a heavy mail from people through
out the country interested in the
measures and Chairman Scott says
he has received several hundred let
tiers from men claiming to be cotton,
producers urging the proposed legis-
'lation.
The opponents of the bills tooR the
stand Thursday afternoon. Their
spokesman included President Hub
bard, of the New York Cotton Elk
change; Geo. w. Neville, and other
members of that body, and Mr.. Sol
Cone, of Greensboro, N. c., a spot
cotton dealer.
D. j. Neill, representing the Farm

the Texas legislature blotted out

LAW. MAKERS OF
south CAROLINA
THURsDAY-Feb. 10th.

The legislative fight over The Gray
don Senate bill and M. L. Smith
House bill proposing to do away with
the present regulations SO bitterly
fought by the travelling men, is prac-
tically over, with defeat for those adj
vocating the change demanded. The
Senate Thursday gave final reading to
the Graydon bill, but so amended as
to thoroughly satisfy the railroad peo-
pie and equally discourage the
friends of the bill. The bill as
amended and finally passed, leaves the
maximum rate at 3 cents and the
amendment by Mauldin allows mile
age at 2 cents or less to be sold with
the present regulations by special
agent contract and an amendment to
that amendment requires any other
mileage to be accepted on trains. Yet
one other amendment makes it a
misdemeanor to check baggage over
one line and use the same mileage
over another. Smith. says he will
push his bill through the House and
fight the difference out in free con-
ference, but the Senate is practically
certain not to yield. The Maulding
amendment as amended, passed by q
majority Of one.
Representative Mobley introduced
a bill providing for a jim ROY ar
rangement for circus ticket selling
and also requiring separate entrances
for the races to circuses.
After spending the major portion

asylum bills the House adjourned

methods are such thl. the enforce
ment of the law will promote panic,
then the quicker the methods are
changed the better. Thus President
Taft, at the Lincoln dinner Of the
Republican Club last Saturday made
final reply to the pleadings of "The
! Interest,"
There will be no running amuck o.,
the part of the administration, the
president declared; but the law will
be enforced-the. Sherman antitrust
law, specifically. Recurring to the
platform pledges of the Republican
party, the president pointedly re-
minded his throng of hearers that no
promisesfhad been made to repeal or
amend or in any way to abate the
rieors of the Sherman law.
This law is on the statute books to
be enforced, the president declared,
and it is the purpose Of his admins
tration to enforce it. As an anchor
ating agency, all that the president
had to offer was the Federal incor-
poration bill, which is pending at
Washington for the congress to take
or let alone, as it pleases. But there
is nothing more in this act that is In
any way intended to let down the
bars Of the. Sherman act ven to those
that avail themselves of it.
In brief, the president renewed all
of the strong declarations of the first
message to congress and the special
message OIL interstate commerce and
Federal incorporation, and it must be
taken for granted that his party is
behind hin in his plans. for the three
thousand or more Republican diners
who listened to the address cheered
every declaration to the echo.
Taft returned to his defense of the
tariff, and:by figures showing the OPP
Grafton othe Pavne law Of the past
six months argued a decided revision
downward. He pledged his admins
tration anew to the postal savings
bank system, md in a general way
covered the entire range of his leslsla-
tive platform as it was laid down in
the Republicican platform and has
since been developed in the presidents

1t was upou the corporation policy.
however, that the president laid
greatest stress. and that he has not
changed his mind.

House Democrats to Line Up Against

Washington, d. c., Special.-Ship
subsidy legislation seems almost GER

Gratis in the House are preparing to
line up against the bill and they be-
lieve that with some Republican as
sistance they will be able to defeat
it.
The question of whether the House
committee on WAYS and means will
undertake the investigation of the
high cost Of living, in view Of the
action of the Senate, is still unde-
termined. Postal savings banks and
appropriation bills will take up prac-
tically the entire week in the Senate
In the House the rivers and harbors
bill will probably occupy consider
able time and there are other appro-

the Indian bill.

ton is scheduled for resumption.

board persisted last Friday. Only
one aboard survived. No Americans

The passengers of tile Chanzy were
mostly Frech officers and officials
returning to their post in Algeria,
accompanied by their wives and chill
dren, a few soldiers, some Italians
and Turks, and one priest. The only
Anglo-Saxon names on the passenger
list were Green and Stakely. There
were members Of an opera trope Of

A highly important railroad bill by
Dixon glided through by the grace OF

whose intention il had been to object
to it. The bill allows suits against
foreign corporations to be brought IN
the county where the complainant re-

suits of this kind involving a thou
sand dollars or so damages that it
has been the practice of the defendants
TO wear out the plaintiffs with costs
by having the cases transferred over

the third reading Monday.
Other bills passed by the House,
of more or less general interest, were
the following: By Brown, requiring

South Carolinian Declares That They
Are Not of Advantage Either to

Washington, d. c., Specializing
question involves hundreds OF mil
lions Of dollars and the welfare OF
millions Of people," declared 4. J.
Brooks, of. Atwood, Tenn, president
Of the Farmers National Union, IN
opening the hearing on the anti
option bills before the House COM
mittee on agriculture lass Wednes-
day. The proposed legislation is
designed to prohibit dealings in fu-
lures on, boards of trade and ex-
changes. The committee room was
crowded with Congressman from the
States interested.
MI Brooks declared that dealings
in futures Of cotton were no more
necessary than in wheat and wool and
farm implements. Hedging opera
lions "on change he characterized
as no different from gambling on
the rice and fall of prices.
Con what moral principles" he
asked, sis one class of citizens oblig-
ed to make up for the losses of an
other class, for where one gains an
other must lose7 The original inten-
ton of the cotton exchange to bring
the buyer and seller together has
been eliminated in the development
Of present exchange practices.
w are willing to abide by the
results Of abolishing futures" he
said, depicting the temptations held
out to the prospective victims who
later g come into the game and set
isffrozen out"
Under the shadow of the ex-.
changes, competition among local
buyers had been eliminated in the
South, he said, and he charged the
existence of a tacit understanding in
the cotton and tobacco belts for di-
vision of territory. The farmers
union which Mr.. Brooks represents
has a membership extending over 20
States.
Characterized by MI. Lever Of
South Carolina as the largest con-
sumer of cotton in the South, Lewis
w. Parker, a GSeenville, S. c., man
ufacturer, contended that ABNORMAL
conditions ought to be represented
at the same time. He said that a. a
rule futures control spot cotton. He
declared that the exchanges are not of
advantage, either to the consumer or
the. producer and that it seemed i'm
possible to make the exchanges real
lie the fairness of the complaints
against them. He said the fight of
his interests is to have the farmers
properly warehouse their cotton and
to market it gradually during the sea-
son.
