SURVEYORS CAME IN TUESDAY.
VIII Have to Go Over ROu e Again
Because OF Swamps.

The South Carolina Western rail-
road surveyors arrived IN the city
Tuesday about one o'clock after taxi
ing several weeks 10 survey the route
from Bishopville TO this city. The
surveyors experienced much difficulty
during their survey because of the
many swamps which they had TO
cross ia all of which there was much
water and some Of which were barely
passable.
The surveyors are not satisfied with
the survey which they had just COM
pleted so will turn about and resurvey
the line Strengthening out crooks in
it and running curves in It whereby
they will escape swamps which
would cause much work and great
cost in building a railroad through
them. It is impossible TO say now
when they will complete this new
surve,-, but It is probable that 1t will
not take them as long as did the one
which they have just completed as
they already have the route and
grading and will only rectify tie line
which has already been fun.

in TIE Magistrates court before Judge
Wells and was settled by the jury

Of a compromise and IS an unusual
one as when cases go to turles gen

THE GREATEST COTTON CROP.
OFFICIAL ESTIMATE PUTS YIELD
AT 1855, 900 BALES.
This States Yield is Given as ,4SO,-
OOO-Acreage Is Larger Than In
Former Years.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE total
production Of cotton in the United
States for the season Of 1911-12 will
amount to 7,121.71S.O 900 pounds (not
including linters), Of 14,SS5,000 bales
of 500 pounds, gross weight, accord
ing to the first official estimate Of the
size of the crop issued at 2 p. m. to-
day by the crop reporting board Of
the United States department Of agri-
culture and made up from reports Of
the correspondents and agents Of the
bureau of statistics throughout the
cotton belt.
Heretofore the record cotton crop
was that Of the year 1904, when 49,
43S.O12 bales, exclusive of linters,
were grown. Other large crops were
those of 1906, which was 13,273.S09
bales, and 1908, when 13,241,799 bales
were grown. In point Of value, how
ever the crop Of 1910, which was H.
60S,616 bales exclusive of linters, was
the record one, the fibre being valued
at $500, 500, 900 and the cotton seed
at $142,S60, 900. a total of ssS3.1So,-
900 as the aggregate value Of the cot
ton crop Of that year.
Conditions early in the growing
season this year led to the belief that
the crop would be one Of record pro-
portions. First estimates Of the yield
based on the condition figures. placed
the probable production we'll toward
the figures Of the biggest crop here
tofore grown. The acreage on which
cotton was planted this season was es-
timated by the department Of agricul-
ture to be 35.0O4.00O acres. greater
area than ever before planted to cot
ton in this country. This vast area
exceeded the previous record Of acre
age by more than 100000 acres,
there having been planted 32.444,000
acres in 1908 and 32,403.000 acres
last year. In the record production
year Of 1904 only So,O5s.7ss acres
were planted.
Scorching hot and excessively dry
weather during the middle Of the
summer caused considerable damage
to cotton in many parts Of the cotton
belt. Later in the season weather con-
ditions were distinctly favorable in
most parts OF the belt and the crop
improved. The hot weather and
drought however, were responsible
for a smaller yield this year than OK
perts early in the season predicted rs
a result of the record acreage and
splendid growing conditions then pre-
vailing. One result of the hot weather
was that the crop ,natured about two
weeks earlier than usual.

Mr.. r. l. Manning received a tele-
gram Tuesday afternoon from Com
missioner E. ]. Watson requesting
him to act as one Of the three trus-
tees for South Carolina under the cot
ton holding plan to be financed to the
extent Of s50,OOO,OOO by a syndicate
of New York capitalists. In reply
Mr.. Manning sent the following tele-
gram:
Sumter, S. c., Dec. IL, 1911.
Hon. E. ]. Watson,
Columbia, S. Q.
Cannot advise farmers to accept
proposition Of Pell & Co. The plan is
subject to too many chances for loss
to the farmers-contempl specu-
lation to cause advance, which is in
itself risky, and / am opposed to 1t. :,
Being opposed to plan myself I must1
decline 10 act as trustee.
Rich'd. l. Manning"
In speaking Of his refusal to act as
trustee for the holding plan Mr..
Manning said today that he would
not, with his present undertaking Of
the operation Of the plan proposed by
the New York syndicate, accept it for
himself or turn over to the syndicate
any Of his own cotton, therefore, he
could not consistently act as trustee.
He regards the plan as purely specu-s
lative and not a holding plan in the
generally accepted meaning Of the 4
term. 1t involves too great risk for
the farmers and no adequate guaran-
tee for the protection Of his equity in
the cotton that he sells to the syndi-
cate. The farmers who turn over
their cotton to the syndicate are
sure of receiving only $25 per bale
and chance to share In any advance
in the market price that may result
from the speculative activities Of the
syndicate. The plan is also objec-
tionable In that it does not contem-
plate holding the cotton off the mar
ket and this will have tendency tol
depress the market and minimize the
nrospects ~ h'rher prices later in
the season.

ducts. The future benefit will revert
to the farmers and those that come
into the country.
Experts on soil, grains, plants,
fruits, etc, were employed to furnish
sound opinions and safe advice for
the farmers to follow.
All Of these broad generous move
ments were started at the expense Of
the new city building machine.
When the important work beyond
the city limits had been started va
rious policies were taken up to help
the merchants and business men.
A stop was put to fake" advertis-
ing and the soliciting of funds, tick
ct selling, special program schemes,
etc. During the first month this rule
was in force the merchants saved
nearly a thousand dollars.
The amount saved monthly by re-
stricting profitless advertising was so
large that the merchants voluntarily
decided to establish a promotion
fund" which is used exclusively to
defray expenses Incidental to the Sc
curing of new enterprises for the city
and in upbuilding Of present deserv-
ing institutions. These business men
are subscribing $500 per month to
this fund.
The new city machine has accom-
plished all Of the important objects
II started out to do, namely:
A reduction in city taxes.
The plating Of the county
Building Of good roads throughout
the county.
Advertising city and county re-
sources and advantages.
Restriction Of soliciting funds from
business men.
Restriction Of promiscuous ticket
selling and eliminating special adver-
tising schemes.
Encouraging the farmers to raise
better and more profitable crops.
And many other worthy objects.
Already this organization owns its
own club building and two other
valuable pieces Of property.
This club has laid out plan for
future work which will result in the
accomplishment of even greater bene-
fits for the city and county.
BY improving conditions beyond
the city limits they secured more
strong talking points. more distinct
arguments in favor Of this city than
possessed by the average city.
