WHAT HORSE RACING DOES.
Columbia Police Raidcd Pool Room
Club and Broke up Betting on
Horse Races.

Columbia, March 3.-"FOllowing
the ponies" will prove rather expen-
sive for number of young men Of
Columbia due to the raid of club
at 1895 Main street yesterday after
noon by police officers.
The form chart of the Charleston
races hung peacefully on the wall,
showing the favorites and long shots
at the track. A goodly crowd, some
in their teens, filled the room and
watched with interest the winners Of
the various races. Excitement was
Intense. Almost any bet could be
placed, combination or single.
But, while all this was going on,
the Columbia police were also going
in Before the followers of the
ponies realized it squad Of the citys
police filed into the room, and then
The trouble began. There was confu-
sion-no doubt Of it. There was
money on the table, but no one
claimed it. Therefore the city wins.
Bond was necessary for each or a
ride in the patrol. Friends came TO
the rescue of some, others pulled out
their roll and counted off the s2O.75
for appearance at recorders court.
This ended it except the docketing
Of the causes and the counting Of the
money at police station. The Is ar
something like $3.50. w. S. Poat was
arrested on a charge Of violating the
dispensary ordinance as we'll as for
gaming.

Much Smoke, But Little Fire, Satur-
day and Sunday, Cause OF Alarms.
The hose wagons were called out
Saturday and Sunday afternoon by
alarms of fire which upon investiga-
ton proved to be unnecessary. The
alarm came in Saturday about 7.3O
O'Clock from the residence Of Geo. P.
McKagen on East Liberty Street.
There was found to be a defect In
the fue and the smoke had gotten
between the ceiling and the roof Of
the building. No damage was done.
The alarm Saturday afternoon
came in from the residence Of w. II.
Jennings on South Washington street
at about 3 o'clock in the day. 1t was
caused by the SCOT in the chimney
catching on fire. The teams had their
run for nothing as there was no fire
to do any damage.

COTTON MARKET CONDITIONS.
TRADE WATCHING ENGLAND
AND FRANCE.
Some Planting Has Been Done In
Texas, No Farm Work is Reported
Elsewhere.

New Orleans, La. March 3.-Laboi
troubles will probably continue to en-
gage most Of the attention of the cot
ton trade this week. At the end OF
last week there was a decided differ
ence cf opinion expressed in cable
grams from England in regard u
how long the coal strike in the United
Kingdom would last. The trade will
want to know how much coal cotton
mills have on hand and If it develops
that they have less than the months
supply that ii has been claimed they
have, the market may be adversely
affected
Not only will the English situation
De closely watched, but so will the un-
est in France and other European
countries and also the disputes be-
tween employers and employees on
this side of the water.
Some Of the weekend circulars
from this market mako much Of the
labor unrest the world over and 1t
may be that strikes, or threatened
strikes, will be the dominating infiu-
ence in the market for some time to
come.
The future markets Of the world
are bound to pay attention to news
from the Southern cotton belt this
week for the reason that the begin
ming of the planting season is already
here. Some seeding has already been
done in Texas and much planting will
be done this week in that State un-
less the weather interferes. If the
weather is bad, that fact will quickly
give to the market by anti-planting
interest. In other sections good
weather is imperative in order that
plowing may be completed. Planting
should begin by the middle OF
MdECH over a idl6C ui Cd ohN S''ON@N-
increase from then on for four weeks.
According to some advices no farm
work at all has been done in many
important sections Of the belt that
should have already finished winter
piowing. Any continuation of such
conditions can hardly help affecting
the market bullishly, especially the
new crop months.
The time of the final report on the
ginning Of cotton is approaching.
This report carries ginning down to
the last day of February and will be
issued by the census bureau on
March 90. 1t may be that some of
the private crop reporting bureaus
will have something to say about gin
ming this week. Any figures on this
subject will naturally be bearish.

SAVE THE BIRDS.
Audubon Society Offers to Reduce
Dues to So for a Limited Time.

Columbia, March 4.-Concerning
the work Of the Audubon society, w.
II. Gibbes, president, and Jas. Henry
Rice, Jr. secretary, have issued state
ments Of much interest to those in
terested in the protection of game. 1t
is given below:
when the Audubon society was
chartered by the general assembly in
1907 khe main duty laid on 1t was
the education Of the people in the
value Of birds, wild animals and fish
to men and the State.
"It was also given charge Of the
enforcement Of the laws. These du-
ties were performed without cost of
dollar to, the State until the act
was passed creating the office Of chief
game warden, that is to say, for three
full years. In which time numerous
convictions were had and respect for
the laws treated and maintained.
"By the act creating the office of
chief game warden, the Audubon So
ciety was removed from any connec-
ton with enforcement of the laws,
and was left to exercise its function
Of an educational body. but the power
Of nominating game wardens, as well
as the chief game warden, still vest
ed in the society.
The crisis brought about by the
action Of the governor, in vetoing the
appropriation for salary and travel
ing expenses Of the chief game war;
den. which Is frankly stated as blow
at the principle Of game protection,
termed interference with the rights
of the people is a challenge to the
principle for which the Audubon So
ciety lives.
THE answer to that challenge shall
be as frank and direct The society
will carry on from this hour a fight
for bird and game protection from
the mountains to the sea.
''To do this successfully. it is plain
ly necessary to increase the society
mem bership and every effort viii be
used to secure this result.
"In order to popularize the society
and to permit a large number to
join. the membership fee will he re-
duced to SO until September /.
THE society will use all its re-
sources IN spreading abroad informa-
ton in regard to birds and their
habits, and will cooperate in the en-
forcement of the laws.
1T is hoped that all old members
will renew their membership at once
without waiting for notice in order
that an aggressive fight may Toe made.

ROOSEVELT TALKS.
SAYS HE DID NOT INTEND TO EN-
TER FIGHT.
Indiana Ex-senator Visited Oyster
Bay TO Discuss Situation In His
Own State.

oyster Bay. n: Y, March 3.-Col.
Roosevelt's own views Of the present
political situation and his reasons for
entering the campaign were explained
by him today.
The former president talked freely
of his prospects and briefly stated
that his reason for entering into a
political campaign as an active ca
didate was that men who sha-
political beliefs convinced hin lat
they needed an effective leader. Col.
Roosevelt expressed the opinion that
on a popular vote he would be the
choice of his party by big majority.
Col. Roosevelt said ne supposed a
great many persons would not believe
it. but that he had not wished to enter
the fight.
$50 far as personal victory is con-
cerned, I don't care" he declared
Many supporters had come to him
and represented that they needed a
leader, and that there was a wide
spread demand that he assume the
responsibility.
1t was in response to these repre-
sentations, the colonel added, that he
had at length determined to accept
the leadership.
In all but four or five States in
Guiding Delaware and Utah, Col.
Roosevelt said, he believed he would
receive a majority on a popular vote.
He added that he felt confident he
would have a majority Of the Penn
sylvania delegation to the national
convention. He was told that the test
vote in New England had given him
an alleged slight lead over President
Taft and said he wasn't at all sur
prised at that.
Former Senator Albert ]. Beveridge
Of Indiana came to Oyster Bay today
to go over the Indiana situation with
the colonel and former Congressman
Fred Lands of Indiana. Amos Pin
chot Of New York, a brother Of Gift
ford Pinehot; John Bass, brother OF
Gov. Robert Bass Of New Hampshire;
BENJAMIN Ide Wheeler, president OF
the University Of California, and
Lieut. John C. Greenway Of Bisbee,
Ariz., an old friend Of the colonel in
the Rough Riders. were the other
guests.
The Indiana situation was gone
over at length. Col. Roosevelt said
that Indiana was the weakest of the
Western States from the viewpoint OF
the Roosevelt forces. Because there
was no primary system in Indiana for
the expression Of preference as to
presidential nominees, he said the
result was in doubt.
Senator Beveridge expressed much
the same views.
