GLYNN TRYING TO
WEAR OUT SULZER:
ABSOLUTE DEADLOCK IN NEW
YORK GOVERNORS SIT.
UATiON.

ALBANY, Aug. 23.-The fight
against william Sulzer that last week
was waking the echoes of the capitol
corridors, today settled down to an
endurance test.
Both Governors Glyrn and Sulzer
are entrenched In executive cham
bers each duly labelled as such. Mr..
Glynn has the attorney general and
the adjutant general and the generals
commanding all the state depart
ments save the executive. Mr.. Sui
ger has only the executive force. Both
are inactive. Never in the history
of this country has there been such a
deadlock.
( 1t Is apparent that the purpose of
Glynn is to wear Sulzer out. II is
clearly the purpose Of Sulzer not to
be worn out. And unless some kind
ly court, taking pity on the embar-
rassment OF both sides, makes a de-
cision that will dispatch officers to
bring order out Of chaos. persons do
ing business with the state will be
tossing pennies to see who 10 Cover.
nor until the high court Of impeach-
rnent shall have settled the matter
once and for all.

TROUBLE OF SUNDAY
NIGHT WINDS UP IN
CITY COURT TRIAL
A DOZEN NEGROES FROM COL.
LEGE HILL APPEAR BEFORE
JUDGE ERWIN.
ABE PORTER AGAIN TO FRONT
Gets Sent to the Lock Up and the
Streets for Hussins the Girl Whose
Throat He Cut Several Months Ago
at Entertainment.

College Hill was numerously repre-
sented at the City Hall this morning
as the result of general free for all
cussing match, with a little fighting
thrown in for good flavor, near Lo-
gan Lloyd's store Sunday night all
parties being negroes.
Those who were called on to face
Judge Erwin were:
Mack Miller, assault with rocks.
Fortress Miller, using profane and
offensive language.
Frank Dickersm, using offensive
language and threats.
Beatrice Gordon, using offensive
and vulgar language.
Horace Dobbins, disorderly and Of
fensive conduct.
Chauncey Miller, assault and disor-
derly conduct.
Henrietta Dickerson, using vulgar
and offensive language.
Fenton Caldwell, disorderly con-
duct.
Abe Porter, disorderly and offen-
sive conduct.
Wallace Williams, disorderly con-
duct.
Will Lincoln Blair, disorderly con-
duct.
Lambert Gordon, diSorderly con-
duct.
It seems that the negro boys in that
section have been causing trouble
from time to time by rock throwing,
and that Sunday night awindow was
broken out, and general disturbance
followed, in which Lambert Gordon
got slash on his throat with knife,
Chauncey Miller got knocked down,
and Abe Porter toOA advantage of the
opportunity to hug Fortress Miller,
whose throat he tried to cut some
months ago at the Odd Fellows ha
on Eighth street.
Frank Dickerson, Beatrice Gordon,
Henrietta Dickerson, Fenton Cald-
well, Wallace Williams and Will Lin
coin Balir were dismissed.
Mack Miller drew fine of S. and
costs; Fortress Miller, s. and costs;
Chauncey Miller, SIS and costs and
Abe Porter, $40 and costs.
In fining Porter Judge Erwin stat
ed that Porter had caused the police
department great deal of trouble,
and that he wanted to do something
that would put stop to the contin-
ued annoyance. Porter was unable
to secure his fine and was sent to the
lock up and probably will have to
work out his fine on the streets.

HEAVY DAMAGE SIT
FILED IN CIRCUIT
COURT WEDNESDAY
PRACTICALLY ALL COMPANIES
IN THE MT. PLEASANT
FIELD DEFENDANTS.
CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED
s. c. Long Now Seeking Damages,
Through the Circuit Court, Having
Also Begun Suit In chancery for
Recovery of Property.
Wednesdays Daily.l

A suit was filed in the circuit court
Tuesday afternoon that is rather ex-
tensive in its scope, involving COM
plain for damages to the amount of
several thousand dollars. Webster &
Webster are the attorneys, and while
the declaration has not been filed it
is ascertained that the suit which
makes practically all of the phosphate
companies in the Mt. Pleasant field
defendants, is for damages resulting
from an alleged conspiracy.
The summons states that the de-
PENDANTS have maintained trusts,
pools, contracts to prevent full and
free competition in the production OF
phosphate rock" and cites the differ
ent sections of the code which have
been violated. Principal among the
sections mentioned is 1885 which de-
clares such contracts null and void,
and 1886, which declares all persons
continuing or entering into such con-
tracts as guilty of felony, and fixes
fine of not less than $500 and PEN
atty of Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary of not less than one year. An,
other and subsequent section of the
code with reference to this character
of offense forfeits the charter of all
corporations whose officials shall be
guilty Of the same. Section $3.50 pro,
vides that ANY person or corpora.
tion injured or damaged by any such
trust, pool, contarct,. agreement, ar
arrangement or combination may
and receive fines in any court of com
petent jurisdiction double the amount
of damage suffered by such person OF
corporation."
The style of the case is S. C. Ions
VS.. Virginia Carolina Chemical Co.
and the summons includes the Vir
lginia-C Carolina Chemical Co., manager
of Charleston, s. G. Mining and Man
lufacturing Co., r. H. Wright, man
ager American Agricultural Chemic
cal Co., manager Blue Grass Phos
phate Co., Geo. w. Killebrew, Inter
national Agricultural Corporation
and 0. l.. Dortch.
A short time ago Mr.. Long filed
. bill in the chancery court seeking t
recover his property, and cited tn
combinations that had prevented tn
, sale Of the same, and now in this sui
, he seeks to recover damages resul
ing from the alleged combination
(which not only prevented the sale {
his property, which is in both Maur
and Lewis counties, but has dama
him materially.

RALLY IN SEVENTH
SAVES GAME FOR
COLUMBIA BOYS
ISCoRE WAS AGAINST THEM At
BEGINNING OF SEVENTH AND
ALSO EIGHTH.
WILLIAMS PITCHING A FEATURE
Garrison Was There With the Willow
and 1t Was Another One Of Those
Garrison Finishes for the Local
Team, 49,. "tl
Columbia 8, Banners 5.

COLUMBIA B, Banners o.
That was the score of the first of
the series between the Banner and
Columbia base ball teams at River
side Park Tuesday afternoon, and but
for the errors of the short stop for
the visitors in the eighth inning the
result might have been Columbia g.,
Banners 5. But such is base ball.
Another If, that might have chang
ed the result was "if Williams had not
been taken out in the seventh after
three hits had netted two runs and
the lead to the locals" Up to the be-
ginning of the seventh inning only
two hits had been made off Williams
delivery who was pitching magnif-
icent game and fielding his position
in a mastery manner The fans
thought it was unfair to Williams that
he should be taken out at that time
under the conditions. Drake went in,
allowing three hits, passed man, hit
man, and with Corbetts two errors
after one man was down, five runs
scored, taking the lead again and
cinching the game.
The team put up fine defensive
game and were on their toes at every
angle of the contest, showing that
they were ball players and were
ready to give any amateur bunch a
tussle for a decision. The features
of the visitors playing was the bat
ting of Garrison, the pitching of viii
liams and a long running catch te
deep right by center fielder Wilson
For the locals Fraser allowed only
four hits two Of which came in The
eighth inning, but he was master O
the situation at all times, while tn,

RECORD COTTON
YIELD ASSURED IN
ARKANSAS STATE
ESTIMATE A LIBERAL ONE AND
ONLY DANGER NOW FROM
TOO MUCH RAIN.
OTHER CROPS ARE HEAVY
Corn Poor In Some Sections, But the
State viii Have Surplus and
Some to Sell-Apple Crop a Bump
er One.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. 27-The
past week has just about put the fin
ishing touches on the cotton crop in
Arkansas, and the only fear that may
be expressed by the pessimist, is that
it may rain during the harvest season,
and a portion of the immense crop
lost.
Arkansas could lose third Of the
crop, or be unable to get pickers in
quantities sufficient to get out that
per cent, and still be ahead of the
average year. The present cror is
one of the greatest the state has pro
duced, and it is conservatively esti-
mated at 1,250,OO0 bales.
! The year has been a bountiful one
for Arkansas in every way, The corn
crop is not what it might be in some
sections, due principally to the use
of antiquated methods in farming, but
there will be enough corn to feed the
good stock Arkansas is now becom
ing famous for, with considerable left
to sell to the less fortunate states.
| With a dozen more cotton com
presses in commission this year, thar
were utilized in handling the 1915
crop, the car shortage situation will
be materially lessened, but still there
, will be such a demand for cars tha
the railroads of the state will agar
be forced to utilize the fiat cars, upoI
which the bales are stacked high ant
hauled to the compress town.
These cars are not surrendered b.
the road at any time, so there will b,
a sufficient number Of them to rusl
cotton from teh town yards to th
compress, as rapidly as it can be han
died there. The COMPRISING permit
much more cotton to be stored in tn
,sheds than otherwise, so that it cal
be taken care of until. cars can be sc
cured to rush it to market
The Arkansas peach, cantaloups
melon and apple crops are al lenol
nous, and for time this summer Al
kansas controlled the market con
pletely. The apple crop is bumpe
one, far different from that Of 191:
when the apples suffered from
| blight.
Quite furry was caused by tn
decision of Attorney General w.
Moose in the case of the Souther
!. States Cotton Corporation, which O
fers contracts to the farmers, offerin
II cents for their cotton, while tn
farmer would sell to the corporatio
on his owa risk.
The corporation answered this
J. stating that it had ample means [
/ back it's contracts, and the contra,
o was merely made to insure the co
v porations the cotton with which ,
4 meet the contracts it made with 70
eign spinners
The cotton is placed in bonde
, warehouse until sold, and the farr
ers may receive an advance upon
I. at the market price, with script fl
the balance.
