William J. Bryan, who is here as the
GUEST of Governor Campbell, was ask
ed the other day what in his opinion
would be the issues and who would be
the prominent candidates for the Dem
ocratc presidential nomination in 1912
Mr.. Bryan replied:
''It all depends upon congress. Al
this tim it is impossible to say what
the ssues will be and who will likely
be the possibilities for the nomination
I think the entire matter rests with the
next congress, and it's actions and leg
islation will largely determine both
the issues will be and who will likely
ing such to be the case there is moth
ing more for me to say at this time
as we will all have to await the de-
liberations of congress"

hopeful for a Democratic victory in

COTTON MILLS TO
CLOSE FIVE WEEKS
SOUTH CAROLINA MANUFACTURE
ERS DECIDE 70 CCRTAIL.
Shut Down is Not Caused by the High
Price Of Raw Cotton, According
to Officials.

Spartanburg, Jan. 11.-Curtailment
for five weeks between April and Sep
tember, or earlier if the management
of any mill sees fit, was decided on at
a meeting of the South Carolina
Manufacturers association in this city
today. The curtailment is in coopera-
ton with the mills Of New England.
There were present 76 mill men, rep
resenting nearly every mill in the
State. This curtail1nent, as previous
ones, is due to the poor condition OF
the market for the finished goods OF
the mills.
The high price of cotton has moth
ing to do with the closing down OF tine
mills as the officials do not object to
nav IS cents for the material If they
can get fair prices for their products
The following is the conditioned
statement as given out by the presl-
dent, E. A. Smythe, after the meeting
had adjourned:
"a very largely attended meeting OF
the cotton manufacturers of South
Carolina was held today in Spartan
burg, 100000 spindles being repre-
scented. President Ellison A. Smyche
presided. The resolution was adopted
pledging the membership of the asso-
citation to q, curtailment Of five weeks
between April and September condl-
toned on similar action being taken
by New England and other Southern
mills which cooperation was assured.
ROr sooner, if the individual mill found
it practicable. The only other bus1-
ness transacted was the consideration
of reports of various committees on
- different subjects. The association ad-
journed after very harmonious ses-
sion."
Immediately after the meeting in the
chamber Of commerce rooms, the Vls1-
tors were entertained at luncheon at
the Spartan City club.

WOULD SEE CENSUS RETURNS.
Representatye Lever Introduces Reso-
luton in House.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Representa-
tive Lever today introduced joint res
olution, the purpose of which is to per-
NIT an inspection of the original re-
turns of the census enumerators as
such returns relate to the population.
<sThis resolution" said Mr.. Lever,
comes as the result of numerous COM
plants from towns and cities as to
their population, as shown by the CEN
,sus report. This is particularly true
of Sumter, Greenville, Orangeburg and
other places in our State, and is no
tably true of Augusta, Ga. Of course,
the census figures can not be changed
but the principle which permits the dl-
rector of the census to conceal from
1;he public the enumerator's return, a
matter of such wide public interest, IS
wrong and calculated to be wrongfully
used.
"These returns should be available
for public inspections and there is no
reason which appeals to me for re-
garding them as secret. The director
of the census goes to the extent of re-
fusins to allow a member Of congress
permission to see these returns, and
only such a resolution as am intro
ducing, and hope to pass, will give the
Apublic the light to which it is entitled y

pictorial gestures combined with manual
signs. this mainly for religious training,
In 1870 two schools. one IN Northampton,

now ~ per cent of deaf children are

The man said his name was Jesse

pany X, Ninth Vermont regiment OF IN
fantry. Mr.. Copeland was a veteran OF that
company and remembered Jesse Jones as
n Young man. but AS he hadn't seen HIM
for 30 years, did not question the man
story.
The faker put up his usual story that
he had been to the funeral OF a daughter
and was on the way back TO the soldiers
home at Bennington, lie said he was III
and Mr.. Copeland took him IN ana Kept
him for week and then started nm on

Mr. Copeland called up the Home to see Il

undoubtedly the same one who vctlmized
people in Rupert recently. lie them

he would 20 To Bennington and would make
an effort to run down the swlndler. MT
COPELAND Is welItodo man and can al.

Dynamite Found on Track.

While walking on Vernon street late
Yesterday afternoon Harry c. Sargent, an
employe of the Vermont Printing COM
pany, found a stick of dynamite lying
close to one of the rails of a side track in the
lower Central Vermont freight yard. There
was no cap attached TO it and it looked as
though it might have been dropped acci-
dentally. L. ]. Guthrie, station agent, was
notified and Mr.. Sargent told him where
he had put the explosive. It was in a
ditch near where he discovered it. 4 man
was sent last night to remove it. While
the work was in progress on the ledge op.
posite the station there was a quantity Of
dynamite in car but how anyone could
get hold of any Of it or why it should be
placed on the track is a mystery. It is
likely that an investigation will be made of
the matter
