FORTY-NINE LIVES LOST
By the Sinking Of The Monroe Off the
Coast Of Norfolk Friday.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 30-The story Of
how IL people went down to death
in the chill water of the Atlantic
when the liner Nantucket rammed and
sank the steamer Monroe early today
was brought to port tonight by IS sur
vivors of the sunken ships passen-
gers, rescued and brought to shore-by
the Nantucket. 1t was a story Of Jaw
full and sudden death, sweeping out
of the dark and fog and taking un-
awares the doomed half hun dred with
the heaviness Of sleep still upon them.
It told how the stricken Monroe, with
her side gored deep by the knifelike
steel prov of the Nantucket, filled
rapidly, rolled over on her side and in
a few minutes turned completely over
and plunged to the bottom, carrying
with her the i'll fated passengers and
members of the crew who had failed
to get clear of the wreck.
Tonight the revised lists prepared
by Capt Johnson, who survived the
snken vessel, showed:
Lost: Passengers 19, crew %, total
IL.
Saved: Passengers 80, crew go, to-
tai 80.
Among those lost was William H.
Ingram, a prominent business man of
Sumter and Columbia, and an uncle
Of Mrs. F. E. Harrison.

SPOT DEMAND
MAIN INFLUENCE.
IN THE COTTON MARKET THIS
WEEK.-IF SMALL 1T WILL
GO LOWER
BULLS SEE ADVANTAGE
If Inquiries Continue as Good As They
Have Been Demand Will Keep Up
Bulls Believe Demand in Dry
Goods viii be Stimulated by Too L

New Orleans, Feb. 1.-The spot de-
mand will be the main infence in
the cotton market this week. II it is
as small sthe bears expect it - to
be, it will encourage further opera
tions looking toward a fall in the
price of futures; if it continues as
good as it has been the bulls will be
given the advantage.
The claim from the short side is
that the inquiry for the actual cotton
necessarily will fall off this week.
The bulls admit this but argue that
much cotton has been sold of late for
both February and March shipment
and that those who have sold will be
anxious to cover their wants as soon
as possible and again, it is consireded
that spot shorts, in many cases, have
been given extensions Of time, which
extensions will be completed this
month and will ne"essitate buying
which is not looked for In some quar-
ters. On top of all they claim that
as February is generally a dull month
in any export way, spot shorts quite
generally have selected it as proper
time in which to buy the cotton they
need to the best advantage to them
selves.
Bulls believe that demand in dry
goods will be stimulated by easier
money and symptoms Of increased
trade among the mills will have a
bullish effect on futures. ..
Statistics will be awaited anxious
'ly. Another falling off in mill TAX
ings, such as took place this last
week, would be the greatest encour-
agement the short side could re-
ceive.
New crop news will be Of interest.
Good weather would favor the short
side, which lately has been pointing
out that the Mississippi river is now
at very low level against more than
a food stage at some points year
ago. Continued low water would al
low early planting in the Mississippi
valley.

TO INCREASE SCHOOL TAX
BY One and Half Mills Provided In
Bill introduced by Senator Mars for
Current Expenses of Abbeville Dis
trict Schools An Election
the Question Voting Two Mills For
Current Expenses.

1t is we'll known fact that the spe-
cial levy for current expenses of the
Abbeville schools is not sufficient to
maintain them at the high standard
desired by the principal and trustees,
and on account of this fact Senator
Mars has introduced a bill, at the re-
quest of the Trustees, providing for
an election on the question of adding
two mills to the Current expenses
fund and at the same time taking off
one-half of a mill from the Sinking
fund. This means that the total in
crease contemplated will be one and
a half mills for a short term of years.
The levy for the Sinking fund pro-
vides more than is absolutely neces-
sary to retire the bonds within the
specified time, and for that reason the
Trustees wish one-half mill taken off
of that fund and this with one and a
half mills added to the current eX-
pense fund will put the district out OF
debt and enable the Trustees to keep
the school at a standard which it is
impossible to attain with the present
funds. The Trustees hope that they
will soon be able to take off still more
from the Sinking fund levy, and with
in a few years to take it all off. 1t is
their idea to vote on the extra l IL
mills for few years only.
The bill also provides for the elec-
ton of a Fiscal Agent to take charge
of the Sinking Fund. q.

WARNS IAWY!EERs TO BE CAREFUL
North Carolina Chief Justice Calls
Halt--A Legal Bigamy Charge.

y y - = . =. 'H I
New, York, Jan: 3O,-Declaring that
all the powers gof government, both
the federal and State, lie at the feet
of judicial oltgarchy. composed of
teh, lawyers of the, United States"
Chief Justice Walker Clark Of the
North Carolina supreme court, ad-
dressing meeting Of the People'siin-
stitute at Cooper Union tonight
warned his fellow jurists throughout
the country to take heed lest their
power prove their own undoing. Dis,
cussing Government BY Judges" JUS
Ftfce Clark said IT,
. ut has been said that contented
people have no annals. The present
unrest among the people, strange as it
may seem, is one Of the best signs of
the times. When people are content
they either are ignorant Of better con-.
ditions or hopeless of attaining them.
A divine discomfort is the basis of
civilization and Of all progress In bet
tering the condition Of humanity. {
In this country, as in all countries
the control Of the government is in
the hands of few. ~
"In 1776 was issued declaration
which proclaimed the rights OF man
kind and their equality and freedom.
And then the reactionary party, the
champions of government of the many
by the few, quietly but effectively took
control of the government.
~"The Importance, indeed the over
whelming preponderance of the ju-
dietary in the government, was Gre
ated in 1903 by the decree, a decision
CT the supreme court Of the United
States without a line j nthe constitu-
ton to authorize it, when that body
assumed the right to veto any act OF
congress they chose to hold unconsti-
tutional.
"The assertion of this doctrine was
promptly seized upon as boon by
ths special interests and by all who
believed at heart in the government
of the. many for the benefit of the few.
It has practically made the courts
the dominant power in every State
in the Union. Whenever an anti
progressive statute has not been In
accord with the economic views enter
tanned by the courts, they have gen
orally exercised their power to de-
clare such statute unconstitutional be-
cause it was not due process of law"
Not Within Limits.
Declaring that the constitution does
not authorize the assumption Of un-
limited power by the courts, Justice
Clark said that if the constitution had
given the judges the right to set aside
statute, it would have given the
legislative branch the same power IN
the case of an executive, veto.
In warning his fellow jurist against
overstepping their authority" the
speaker quoted Justice Harlan where
ne declared that when the people De-
leive the judiciary is ursurping legis
Iative function, there will be trouble.
