Gibbes Lykcs Reinstated.

Washingtos, Feb. 81. Gibbes
Lykes, Of Richland county, who mys-
teriously disappeared from his post
Of duty at a Western army station
about a year and a half ago, and
who was not found for several
months, has just been reinstated as
a second lieutenant Of cavalry to
take rank at the foot Of the list Of
second l~ieutenants.
When Lykes was located several
months ago he began a persistent eff
fort, through Senator Tillman and
Representative Lever to get back into
the old position. His father came to
Washington and spent much time in
this endeavor. Bills were then in
troduced and the slow process of get
ting them passed began. Senator Till
man got his through some time ago,
and late last night Mr.. Lever COM
pleted the matter by having the
House take favorable action.
Lykes' father Is here now and to-
day thanked both Senator Tillman
and Mr.. Lever for their efforts in
the matter.

WILSON AT THE CAPITOL.
His Welcome Depends on the Pur-
pose of His Presence.

Washington, Feb. 81. Asked
about a rumor that President Will
o will freely make use Of the Pres
ident's room, on the Senate side of
the Capitol building, spending time
there daily in order to be close to
Congress while administration meas
ures are being considered, Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina, said to-
day: .... ...., ...... .
much will depend on what he
comes for. If he to advise
with US, we shall be glad to have
him; if he ONE to dictate to US,
as | do not believe he would, we
should not want him here. When
he has an opportunity to study con-
ditions at a closer range, 1 think he
will change his mind about coming"
Senator Fletcher, OF Florida, said
he thought the idea of the President
making free use of the room in the
Capitol vas an excellent one.
Most of the Senators were chary
OF discussing the matter for publica-
ton. ....

TO HAVE $iO0,OOO STATION.
Anderson to Have New Depot Costing
That MuCh-COuCrctc Building.

Anderson. Feb. 27.-Capt. j.. r.
Anderson, superintendent Of the Blue
Ridge railway, has made the posi-
tive announcement that the railway
company will soon commence the
erection Of a passenger station on
North Main street which will cost
approximately 500, 900. The build
ing will be Of reinforced concrete
throughout, and will be over the
railroad cut, on the eastern side of
Main street, between the Watson
Vandiver and Cox buildings. For
so me time civil engineers have been
working on the proposed site of the
new station. but the railroad officials
were reticent about talking over the
plans until the matter had been def
Eitely decided upon. Capt. Ander-
son has received word from Wash
jngton that the Southern Railway,
which owns and operates the Blue
Ridge Railway, had authorized the
appropriation for the building, and
also for the building Of a steel bridge
TO take the place Of the old frame
bridge now hanging over the North
Main street cut. The station
will be on the level with Main street.
The present bridge will be torn
away and the tracks lowered three
cavating. IN all there will be $500
yards OF earth to be removed. The
floor Of the station and of the APP
proaches will be solid concrete.
gag room, n room for express and
entrances to the two waiting rooms.
From each waiting room there will
be a stairway, and there will also be
freight and passenger elevators.
The ticket office will be in the CEN
ter of the building, and all of the
general offices of the railway COM
pany will be on the second floor.
The Blue Ridge Railway has spent
considerable money lately in i'm
proving its roadbcd. In one instance
the company has spent about $50, 900
in replacing a burned wooden trestle
with a steel structure. All Of these
Improvements lend color to the re-
Vived MINOR that the Blue Ridge
road will be ultimately built over
the mountains to Knoxville. AS a
matter OF fact it is known here that
the officials of the DAD in Washing
ton have not forgotten the extension
Of the Blue Ridge, and an announce
ment to the effect that construction
work would be begun at an early
date would not cause very much sur
prise to people here who have Eept
in close touch with the matter.

rather more bullish than expected, and
was followed by quick advance of about
il points in prices.
Estimated receipts all ports today, 1000
bales. against 1921 last week and 1861
last year.
The condition report of 1913 per cent of
the normal July % was extremely bull
ish. even more so than the bulls them
selves dared hope for. but as a market
influence it fell fiat, there being almost
an entire lack of speculative trading,
owing to threatened anti-future legis-
laton.
Much comment was made after the re-
port on the fact that proposed anti-future
measures before Congress were costing
owners of new crop cotton much money
by restricting buying of contracts.
A quarter of an hour after the report
the market was extremely dull For a
few minutes trading was brisk and prices
were advanced to 10 points. the most
active months going to level points
over yesterdays close. AT noon the
market was dull. but steady at net
