w.R. RICHEY MAKES STATEMENT
Declares He Holds Original KnOwl-
ton-McIntoSh Certificate.

Columbia, July 29.-W. r. Richey,
Of Laurcns, brother Of r. A.
Richey, and the chief attorney in the
proceedings leading up to the execu-
tive clcmency for that convict, has
issued the following statement:
State Of South Carolina, County
of Richland. d.-Personally came be-
fore me w. II. Richey, who, being
duly sworn, asys that he is Il prac-
ticing attorney at the Laurens bar,
in this State, and has been engaged
in the practice of his profession in
the town Of Laurcns for the past 2S
years; that he is a brother of II. A.
Richey, of Abbeville county, who was
convicted OF statutory rape; that
from his brothers statement to him,
and from the other evidence connect
ed with the case, he las never be-
lieved, and does not now believe,
that his brother is guilty Of said Of
fense, and that he has been continu-
Ously endcavoring to clear his bro
thers good name from this foul
charge.
"That the recommendation of the
board Of pardons to Governor Blcase,
in which the board says, From the
statements made to us by the ma
tron and the prosecuting witnesses
there are grave doubts arising in our
minds as to the guilt Of the petition
er on the charge convicted shows to
disinterested and unprejudiced minds
that there are others who agree with
his view Of the case.
THAT in his efforts to relieve his
brother, he requested different ply
sicians tc make an examination Of
his h.other's condition, by the con-
sent Of superintendent Griffith, OF
the State penitentiary, who, in one
Of his certificates, says, in speaking
OF deponent's brother, His imprison-
ment is a burden to the penitentiary,
and l therefore recommend that he
be pardoned.'
THAT he also had his brother ex-
amlned by DR.. Rolfe Il. Hughes, or
Laurens; DR.. VIM. d. Simpson, of
Abbeville, and DR.. r. II. Jennings, Of
the penitentiary, and that they

GREATER EASE IN
EXCHANGE RATES
Demand Sterling Goes Below
Five Dollars a Pound
Again

Sterling exchange rates had another
sharp fail Yesterday. for the first time
i'm weeks dropping below So pound
both for demand checks and cables.
The former sold at i.96 and the latter
at 1895. The figures marked decline
within a single week Of 9 cents on me
pound.
Dealers said yesterday that this was
due both to a noteworthy increase IN
the supply and to falling of in the
demand following successful arrange
mcuts for meeting carly September
maturitiea; abroad. The lcsscned de-
mand was also attributed to the an
nounccmcbt Of the city's arrangement
for meeting IT'S revenue warrants IN
London and Paris.
Yesterday saw more cotton bills IN
the market than any day previously.
Bankers said that there was evident 4
general broadening Of export business
and they looked forward to an m
creased offering next week OF biis
drawn against other commodities than
foodstufFs and cotton.
Though there is no expectation OF a
return of rates TO the high prices OF
the beginning Of the week and before,
thew said that there was bound to be
a considerable demand for exchange
within the next few weeks, because, IN
addition TO the city's SSO,O0OOOO or
$50 OOO.O 900 Of revenue warrants, there
arc a large number Of finance bills
between S7O,OO0,OOO and S80,0OO0OO, it
was estimated maturing abroad, As
we'll as a mass Of corporation bonds
and short term notes.

RAILROAD EARNINGS.

Partial returns Of gross earnings for
August of United States railroads max
ing weekly reports to "Dun's Review"
aggregate S27 ,32f,S33, a decrease of as
per cent, as compared with the earn
ings f'the same roads for the corre-
spending period year ago. Practi-
cally all the leading systems in the
Southwest and West reflect in their
earnings the light movement Of grain
early in the month, due to the embargo
placed on exports, while roads in the
South also suffered to some extent
from low, : shipments of cotton.
In the following table are given gross
earnings of United States railroads re-
porting for August, and loss as COM
pared with earnings of same roads for
corresponding month a year ago; also
for roads that reported for two pre-
ceding months, together with percent
age of loss compared with last year:

COTTON DISPUTES
COMING UP
Lack of Official Quotations
Affecting Waste and Yarn
Trades.

The work of reversing the straddle
interest between here and Liverpool
will be started next week, and until
some idea can be formed as to the
length of time it will take to close out
this interest sentiment as to the pos
sibiiity Of rcopening the exchange for
ordinary business will remain unset
tied The Liverpool cables received
here Yesterday stated that the amount
of cotton sold or called for the week
amounted to about 1882 bales, includ-
ing l2,549 bales of American, and at
this rate il would obviously take long
time to release hedges to the extent
represented by the straddle interest of
something like 100000 bales.
Meanwhile the absence Of the eX-
changes and Of any official quotations
or we'll established markets is begin
ming to be felt in domestic trade cir
Giles. Disputes have developed, for in
stance, in the cotton waste and cotton
yarn trade regarding settlements OF
August shipments. These contracts
were made on the basis of New York
quotations, which have been lacking,
and the buyers have naturally object
ed TO settling on the basis Of the last
prices made here at the end OF july
In most instances, it is reported, these
disputes have been adjusted and the
price agreed upon, in some cases at
least, has been on the basis OF cents
for middling. Aside from the coniu,
sion caused by the absence OF othclai
quotations in the settlement or ola
business, manufacturers ind thelh-
selves without hedging markets IN
which to protect themselves against
forward needs or to establish basis
for forward sales Of goods.

Bank Clearings.

Bank clearings last week displayed
some evidence of a trend toward i'm
provemcnt, the total, according to
Dun's Review, at the principal cities IN
the United States amounting to ST.
l7.7OO. sos. a decrease Of 23.3 per cent,
as compared with the $2.514.i54,O73 Of
the same week last year New York
City naturally continues to show con-
siderable falling or. but the loss re
ported. 36.6 per cent, makes rather
more satisfactory exhibit than for the
last few weeks. Marked improvement
appears over the previous year at the
majority Of the outside cities, for
while Boston, st. Louis and New Or
leans report sharp contraction, it Is
more than countcrbalanced by the
Gains. so that the total at all points is
IL per cent larger than in 1918. This
contrasts with loss Of 60 per cent
last week and "a two weeks ago.
