Washington, Oct. 23-Representa-
tive William c. Rdamson of Georgia,
who was chairman Of the house COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
tnerce in the last congress and will
be reelected to that position when
the house assemblies for the regular
session in December, has announced
that he would introduce a resolution
to suspend the provision of the Pan
anna canal act permitting coastwise
vessels Of American register to pas
through the canal without payment OF
tolls.
This announcement is the first pos.
tive Indication of President Wilson'S
attitude toward the free tolls provi.
sion. Although Mr.. Adamson did not
say so, it is taken for granted that
he will present his resolution at the
the instance of Mr.. Wilson, with
whom he has had several conferences

Roehsfort In Court.

Henri Rochefort went to court Of
tener, it is said. as plaintiff. defendant
or witness than any other man In Par.
is. Partly this was because Of big, qr
tic1ess;, partly because Of hts continual
dealings with the picture dealers, With
whom he often disagreed. In his later
years, moreover, he was often called
as a witness by parties in political
suits, not because he had any pertinent
testimony to present. but because he
had a happy faculty when on the VII.

the police and all that set appear 9 set

prominence, need not spend much money to get be-
fore the voters of a state. But to reach all he voters
and all the workers is expensive for the average
candidate, as various campaign, statements the last
few years have demonstrated. The. gubernatortal-
candidates of Texas, for instance, have spent several
times their salary in recent campaigns. There has
been no limit on campaign expenditures in that state
and the statements have shown lavish use OF money,
spent legitimately. 1r other states, where saere is o

not been large, although their friends" have usually
been very liberal. But the senate itself recognizes
merit and the rich man has no advantage. 49,.

Census Report.
"The United States Census report
for 1903, the only recent official sta
! tistics relative to cost and value avail
able, shows that the value Of the
Pennsylvania anthracite produced in
that year was $14S,957. 1874. The to.
tai gross expenses amounted to $780,
1914, from which should be de-
Quoted $~4,S64,S44, made up from

penses $l34,245,600.
'The total production in 1893
amounted to 72,215,273 long tons, SO
that the average value per ton for the
output in that year was $2.06; the
average cost per. ton was $1.S6; and
me net returns on the operations for
the year were $14, 712,294, Or an av-
erage of 20 cents per ton. This at
first glance looks like a fair return,
but attention must be called to the
fact that the census figures OF cost
make no allowance for interest OF
capital invested Or borrowed, and no
offsetting charges for amortization or
depreciation.
According to the returns OF the
Bureau Of the Census, the entire capL

1903 was $246, zoe, 1000. If one this

Two hundred and thirty men We're, buried alive

Their deaths will swell the Appalling list Of fatal.

Of mine disasters.
Before the terrible catastrophe at Dawson, the

Every day press dispatches Tell OF new disasters,
claiming from one to hundreds OF victims. More mes
sages tell. Of wives and children bereayed and homes

Last week over two hunaeed miners were blown
into eternity by an explosion in the fated Welsh min
ing district. The coal regions of Pennsylvania are
never without their daily story Of desperate efforts
to rescue some poor toier who is smotncring to
death in the bowels of the earth.
Surely mine owners and legislators have axan,.

acton to insure safety IN tile mines and prevent the
continual repetition Of the awful calamities at Wales

patron OF the Farmers Telephone
company, filed complaint with the

ed that the Northern Telephone con-
pahy he forced to make a connection
with the Farmers line, SO that long
distance calls could be put through.
The Northern. Telephone company OBJ
jected to making the connection, de.
claringe that the Farmers line was not
up to the standard of their own and
they didn't want to take the resporl
sibility for inferior service . 4
In the complaint and request filed
with the railroad commissioners the
Farmers line cited a Wisconsin case.
where a long distance company had
been forced to connect with a local
company in La; Crosse and take long
distance calls from its wires. Tracy

peared before the commission and de.
clared there is no law in this state

The street car riot resulted in an

Four negroes and several white men

these dances Unfortunately as i'm
modest inventions of the devil, other
pillars of the church are planning
society tango tea for the benefit of
charity, and the ministers themselves
in their discussion of the situation,
differ widely in their views.
The Rev. C. T. A. Pise, of st. Phil
lips cathedral, Episcopalian is quoted
as saying:
while l have been assured that all
these modern steps can be danced
without any immodesty, l must admit
that the manner in which l have seen
them danced is not decent.
In fact l do not understand how
any self-respecting woman can take
her part in such a dance-or how any
self-respecting man can ask woman
to dance in sach a manner.
''As to the attitude of the church It
must be understood that the Episco-
palians always have believed that they
were not under the law, ut under
grace"
The Rev W. W. Memminger, of All
Saints church, adopts a more cheerful
view. He says:
with respect to this movement of
the Christian churches against the
slit skirt and tango, 1 think it would
have been more timely a year ago. I
am convinced that feminiene apparel
is today far less extravagant in it's So
called immodesty than it was a year
ago. Also l believe the various fan
tastic dances are in better taste.
''This alarming tendency isn't so
very alarming today. The pendulum
always swings back, and such abulli-
tons in amusement and dress wear
out and die a natural death |
the prod of the reformer Z
don't believe the tango and slit skirt
need attention from the church"

AMERICUS TRADE
EXPECTS LITTLE
MARKET CHANGES
This WEEK IS A DULL One
Trading viii Be Broken By
Holiday

This weeks fine weather presages a
period which will afford the farmers
of Sumter opportunity for picking out
rapidly the remnant of cotton in the
Gelds. Already the great bulk Of the
crop marketed in Americas has been
picked and, for the greater part, sold,
and two or three weeks more will
wind up the crop in this section. Never
before have conditions for gathering a
crop been more favorable.
Americas warehouses have received
nearly thirty thousand bales cotton al
ready, and the bales yet to come will
run the total to at least $4,000 bales.
Receipts at this time are 5000 bales
ahead of warehouse receipts at this
date last November, due largely to the
favorable weather for harvesting tn :
crop.
The cotton market will be rather
tame this week and will be broken by
the holiday Thursday. 1t is hardly to
be expected that any great amount of
business will be done either this week
or in the next ten days, owing to the
impending government crop report
This is the most important influence
Low overshadowing the market. The
figures will be issued at 2 o'clock on
the afternoon of December IL, accord
ing to announcement yesterday from
Washington. This next report on gin
ming is considered highly important
because it will partly be the basis for
the crop estimate of December u.
1t will carry the crop down to No
vember 80, Sunday, and it is probable
that private estimates on ginning may
have an influence on the market this
week, although such estimates ca1
hardly be of hard and fast nature.
