Christmas shopping is beginning.
That is proper. To delay is altogeth-

worked too hard. The conscientious
buyer will begin early and conclude
the purchasing before December 10.

BOSS COX INDICTED FOR PER-
JURY.
Hamilton County Grand Jury Accuses
Cincinnati Politician.

Cincinnati, Feb. 21.--Geo. B. Cox,
FOR years head of the Organization
in Cincinnati" prominent factor in
State and national politics, president
of the Cincinnati Trust compay and
known widely in financial circles, be-
cause of his interest in that field,
was indicted by the Hamilton couasy
grand jury late today on a charge of
perjury.
The basis Of the charge is that Cox
testified falsely before a grand Jury
on March 21, 1906, in denying he had
received any Of the interest money
which several banks, according to
disclosurs before the Drake investi-
eating committee paid to county
treasurers as recompense for the de-
post of county funds in the banks.
No date for CoXs appearance in
court was set.
Mr.. Cox. in speaking Of the ildict-
ment, said:
Il do not consider this an indict-
ment in the true sense of such action.
1t was purely a political move and
was brought about by political condi-
tions.
''The jury which brought the in
dictment was selected by a Demo-
cratic judge who selected the names
of the jurors from his inside pocket.
Il regard the action Of the grand
jury as one of the most vicious at
tacks and one Of the most outrageous
procedures emanating from a body
connected with court. I will leave
my side of this affair to the facts, as
brought out in the trial. In the mean
time / ask the public to suspend judi
ment."
The law under which the grand
jury returned the Indictment provides
that in case of conviction for perjury
the penalty shall be imprisonme 1t for
not more than 10 nor for less than
three years.

HAS TAKEN NO ACTION.
Gov. Blcasc Has Not Instructed At
tOrney General Lyon as TO Glenn
son Trustee Question.

Columbia. Feb. 22.-Attorney Gem
eral Lyon has not decided what course
he will take in the investigation of
certain officers holding two positions
to which Gov. Blease called attention
in n special message to the general as
sembly. The proposition of life
trustees of Clemson college will be in
vestigated by the attorney general.
Attorney General Lyon said yester-
day that he had not received instruc-
tions from Gov. Blease to bring any
action as the result OF the letter of
John G. Richards, Jr., a member of
the railroad commission, who is also
trustee Of Clemson college. Sew
eral days ago Gov. Blease said that
he would instruct the attorney gen.
eral to bring an action to test the
right of a trustee of State college
to hold public position.

EMIT FACTORY INSPECTORS.
Commissioner Watson Accents tho
Final Decree of General Assembly
and the Governor.

Columbia, Feb. 22.-There will be
no factory inspection this year.
On Monday morning the commits
sioner of agriculture requested the
resignation of both factory in
spectors and Monday afternoon they
were received and accepted.
Commissioner Watson said that he
had always obeyed the wishes of the
higher authority and the action of the
chief executive, sustained by the gem
eral assembly, having eliminated any
means for conducting factory inspec-
ton, there will of course be none.
Even were any other funds available
for this purpose-and this is not the
case-he said he would not under any
circumstances attempt indirectly or
otherwise to go counter to the action
of the higher authorities referred to-.
He stated that no successors to the
resigned inspectors will be appointed
nor will any other employe of the de-
partment have anything whatever to
40 with factory inspection in any
form whatever.
The commissioner stated that this
sudden change of conditions will en-
able the department to concentrate
its efforts almost entirely upon agri-
cultural development work in the
State, work now under full head
way and capable OF an evea more
rapid advance this year, and upon af-
fording adequate protection to the
people Of the State from the dumping
Of impure foodstuffs upon them by
out-of-theState shippers.
The inspectors who resigned are
Alex McDouglall and j. A Gaines.

able to be used for agricultural pur-

department nothing" we take the lib
erty of submitting the subjoined ta-
bic. which shows the amount spent
in each OF the ten years just passed
for labor and fertilizers. and the pro-
fits made by this department.. This
table shows that amounts ra aging
from S4,437.S0 in the year 1900 to
$10,43730 in 1910 were spent for la
Dor. That the annual expense for fer
tilizers varied from s932.7O TO $277.-

In 1909 to 25,4S1.11 in 1910.
The total profits for the last ten
years aggregate S135,24S.S2, an
amount more than three times as
much as was originally paid for this

oeeded $102 per acre for the ESQ

Observation-Disclosures TREATY.
President Lays Before Senate Text of
Proposed Instrument.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The text of
new treaty with Japan, designed to
replace that Of 1894 and drawn with
the special design of eliminating the
restrictions upon immigration con-
tanned in that treaty, was laid be-
fore the Senate today, by President
Taft.
The essential difference between
the proposed treaty and the existing
conveation Is said 10 be in the fact
that IL omits all reference to such re-
strictions, and leaves to the national
honor of Japan the enforcement, at
her own ports. OF the limitations up
on emigration from Japan, aow ex-
pressly placed upon immigration into
the United States. The document is
said 10 provide that either country
may denounce the treaty at the end
OF six months, If 1t fails - operate as
expected.
because 1t embOdics this radical de-
parturc from the existing treaty and
touches the question of the deepst i'm
pJrtance and interest TO the Pacific
slope. the injection of this convention
into he closing hours Of the Glst
Congress created a sensation today.
That the new treaty will encouater
opposition seems certain. for even il
IL should be reported To the Senate
from the committee without serious
controversy within the committee
roo u, the Western Senator'S are eX-
pectcd IL insist upon opportunity for
debate, which will develop the full cx-
I"ht Of their opposition to the treaty.
This new treaty is one Of trade
and commerce. Intended 10 replace
the treaty of 1894. which is antlquat-
cd.
The radical difference between this
new treaty and the one now in force,
/ and the one which may prove OBJ
n"Nious 10 the Western Senator's, is
understood To- bc the omission Of any
reference to the immigration qucs-
| ton.

tity secret, they stated that the man

one the Of the ringleaders II the gang
and was know'n as John D. Anderson.
He is said to be an old hand at the
game.
