COTTON MARKET BREAKS.
May Sold or 81 Points, Dropped tO
1890, Loss OF $3.50 Per Bale Be-
low Seasons High Record-LOngs
Seem in Panic.

New York, Jan. 5.-There was q
sensational break in the cotton mar
ket late today, with May deliveries
selling off to 1850. or 81 points low
er than last night, Ga points below
the best level Of the day. and Sc
points. or $3.50 per bale, below the
high level Of the season.
The weakness in the stock mar
ket probably contributed to the Wall
street selling. but selling orders came
from all directions and it looked as
though there was regular panic
among longs following the record
breaking advances of late last year.
IT was rumored that the cotton in
terests were unloading and it was
also reported that a strong Wall
street clique had been formed to de-
press prices. owing to the failure of
trade demand to improve as rapidly
as expected with the turn of the
year.
Today's advices from the South
generally were bullish as to the spot
situation, but there were rumors of
increased offerings. which probably
aided in precipitating the tremendous
liquidation late in the day. The
market has been more or less un-
settled ali the week, but the sensa-
tional break Of today came very sud-
denly, with the market declining over
$3 per bale in less than an hours
time. The market closed weak. at a
net decline OF 20 to 2S points with
May selling at 1850, or at the lowest
1t Is estimated that the big South
ern bulls had bought fully 10000
bales In an effort to check the de-
cline.

CENSUS JOBS GO BEGGING.
Director Durand Thinks Prosperity
Must Cause the Trouble.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Applicants
are not tumbling madly over each
other in an effort to obtain jobs as
census enumerators, and United
States Census Director Durand is
considerably perturbed over the
shortage Of men willing to earn
Government money. The difficulty is
In the West and South and especial
ly in the cities. The job Of census
enumerators will receive so much
per name per day, depending upon
the locality in which the work is
done. and averages about $50 per
enumerator for the entire time re-
quired. In cities of over 5000 in
habitants where population is con-
gested and counting is easy, the emu
merator Is required to finish his
work in two weeks, but in cities Of
under that size and in country dis
tr!cts one month is allowed.
Director Durand explains the lack
of applicants for census jobs on the
theory that there is so much gen.
eral prosperity in the country that
the Government jobs are not want
ed The time for applications for
these places ends January 25, and
Mr.. Durand invites philosophical
and patriotic persons to join in the
census work. even if the pay proves
no inducement. Applicants are re-
quired to pass test, but only a COM
mon school education is needed to
qualify. There are $4,000 enumera-
tors places to he filed.

motion was adopted to request
the Legislative delegation to change
the law in regard to licenses of COM
panies doing business in the county
SO as to require them to take out in
dlvidual license for each travelling
salesman for their wares, goods, etc.
The legislative delegation was re-
quested to revise the law relating to

all animal and tent shows generally.
The legislative delegation was re-
quested to first confer with the Board
of County Commissioners before
agreeing to enact any legislation
looking to the building of a new road
across the Wateree Swamp and river.
The legislative delegation was re-
quested to enact some law in regard
to convicts escaping from the coun-
ty chaingang, which would cause
such convicts to forfeit such part of

would be compelled to reimburse the
county for the expense Of their pur-
suit and recaptrre by serving extra
time at the rate of fifty cents per
diem.
The legislative delegation was re-
quested to make some new disposi-
ton Of the sum Of $500 voted the
Sumter County Anti-Tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION at the session of 1909.
The legislative delegation was re-
quested to initiate some measure as
would cause trials for murder to be
held In the county in which the
crime Is committed instead of in the
county in which the victim dies.
1t was decided that all members Of
the board who desire to do so may
attend the Good Roads Convention in
Columbia on January 18th.
The following members of the leg
islative delegation were present: Sem
ator j. H. Clifton and Representative
1. b. Fraser and c. E. Stubbs. DR..
Geo. w Dick was absent from the city
and could not be present.
At the conclusion of the conference
the delegation requested the board to
nave the clerk tabulate for their
guidance such legislation as the
board deems necessary for the bene-
mt OF Sumter county and transmit the
same to the delegation before the
next session Of the legislature, at
which time they would give these
suggested measures their careful at
tention.

SMITHVII1Es
Smithville. Jan. 4.--we had two or
three days of pleasant spring-like
weather, but we are again in the
grasp of the ice king. Plenty Of lei.
cles on trees and shrubs this morning
with indication of snow or more sleet
and rain.
I think DR.. Stiles must be vision
ary. I wonder where he went to
make his hookworm Investigations. I
want to say In behalf of the poor
white farmers of the South that Dr.
Stiles statements are very mislead-
Ing. There is no class of peo-
pie. that Is, generally speaking,
that care more for home surround
ings and for personal cleanliness than
the poor tenant class. of which DR..
Stiles speaks 50 sarcastically. or
course there are exceptions to all
generol rules. You'll fnd some that
are too careless and indolent to care
for anything but their own ease and
comfort 30 to speak. But a little in
vestigation will prove that they exist
In all classes. with no reference
whatever to any one person or To-
cality. but there is many a farmers
wife that would scorn to eat anything
that came from her more wealthy
neighbor's kitchen, where flies and
Nth reign supreme. II DR.. Stiles will
make himself as arrogant and intru-
sive toward that class as he has to-
ward the poor farming class. and If
need be disguise himself as a beggar
and go around to the cook room and
ask aims I dare say the scabs will
fall from his eyes. / doubt not but
that he would almost prefer the
poor farmers fare to what would be
given him there. don't pretend to
say that all wealthy people have
these unsanitary affairs. but I do say
that they exist among. all classes.
more or less. I don't blame the peo-
pie OF certain places. where DR.. Stiles
made himself too inquisitive to
threaten him with mob violence, and
drive him from their midst. Any de-
cent. self-respecting white man or
woman would resent his allegati ons.
II he will go into the homes of the
mill operatives he can write many
articles Of length on things that he
sees. especially in their kitchens and
back yards. If DR.. Stiles did but
know 1t the greater number of coun-
try people regard the mill operatives
as being their inferior socially, not
that all Of them deserve it, but be-
cause Of the lower element that
you'll hrd among all classes and peo-
pie 1t matters not whether it be far
mers. mechanics, clerks or what not.
Why then should he Judge the
worthy ones by the unworthy? Just
the Idea OF his telling the ones that
plough to bAthe their feet at night
and change their socks. The average
farmers garments for the night and
his bedding, though coarse and COM
mon, 1t may be. Is as clean and neat
as any OF the most wealthy. A writer
In the Cultlvator undertook to answer
some of his bosh and he had to ad-
wise us In regard to personal clean
tness. There isn't enough words in
the English language for me to ex-
press the contempt we have for the
whole lot.
