Growing Colored Cotton.

The farmers of South Carolina and
other Southern States interested in
the experiments of A. w. Brabham,
of Olar, in the growing of colored
cotton will read with interest let
ter he has written to the New York
Sun under date of August 29, rela-
tive to the progress he is making.
Mr.. Brabham has faith in the prac-
ticability of growing cotton from
which cloth that will not have to be
dyed can be made, although he is not
yet ready to announce definite results
or to sell any seed. His chief diff
Guilty seems to be that he has only
white parent plants on which to ex-
pertinent, having been unable to get
native plants from Peru, Siam, India
and Egypt. Mr.. Brabham's efforts
are of unusual interest in view of the
dye shortage which is acute just at
this time, and his progress will be
noted with keen interest.
In his letter to the Sun Mr.. Brab-
ham enclosed samples of dark green
ish gray, light green, tan and light
tan lines of cotton, and they were
sent to the New York cotton ex-
change. He says in his letter:
"About a year ago you referred to
my work in producing colored cot
tons and went so far as to consult
the great plant wizard of the west,
Luther Burbank. Both of you were
sceptical. In order to allay your
doubts, I am sending you some sam
pies, which prove that I am making
some progress. All of my shades,
or hues, have not matured yet, and
I am not able to say what other COL
ors I may have later on. But the
samples sent show clearly that l
have solved both a biological and pa
biological problem not dreamed of in
the philosophy of man, living or
dead. Get together the colored cot
tons of Peru, Siam, India and Egypt,
and it is hard to guess what can be
accomplished in the different colors
of cotton. They blend readily.
For some years past I have made
fruitless efforts to get the seed of the
red and brown Peruvian, the gray OF
India, the yellow of Siam, the brown
of Egypt. 1 have failed so far, but
will try again. In the meantime
give it to the cotton world that the
growing of colored cottons can be
done, and l wish others to aid me in
this work. If I can produce from
white parent plants the shades 1 am
sending you-and upon the honor OF
man and Mason I have done it
what could be done if we had colored
parent plants to begin with?
81 wish to say that I have no seed
for sale. My work is in the expert
mental stage yet, and under no condi.
tions will l send seeds or samples tc
any one.
"Be kind enough to present these
samples to the New York cotton eX
change with my compliments. The
exchange made this request this
spring when l had no samples or
hand

day, is whether there is going to be
prohibition in South, Carolina or the

DECISION
OF COURT
FOR COUNTY
Private Auditing Company Loses COnten-
lion on Appeal--COntract with
Commissioners Held Void

By decision OF the state supreme
court, handed down this week, the
contract entered into by the former
board OF county commissioners of
Grady county with the News-Dispatch
Printing and Auditing company of
Shawnee whereby the latter was EN-
ployed to audit the county books is
declared to be void.
The contract was entered into in
December, 1914, and the board of
commissioners taking office the next
month were advised by County Attor-
ney Venable to refuse payment Of the
bill. After the bill was disalIowed
the auditing company brought suit,
losing in the lower court and later APP
pealing. The amount involved in the
suit was about $780, Mr.. venable and
his assistant, Allen K. Swan, repre-
sented the county throughout the pro-
ceedings.
The substance of the courts opin-
ion is contained in the syllabus as fol-
lows:
Where the statutes have created
two administrative offices, with CO
ordinating powers and duties, in the
absence of express authority to do so,
there is no implied authority in one
office to contract with private indi-
viduals to perform service which il IS
the express statutory dutT O To g.
er office to perform. The statute
which created the office Of state ex-
aminer and inspector and imposed up
on that office the duty to examine the
books and accounts of all or any Off
GERS or custodians Of the various
funds Of the county, etc, was intended
for the benefit of the counties Of the
state. 1t is the duty Of the state ex-
aminer and inspector to conduct such
county audit upon request; the coun-
ty commissioners have no implied au-
thority to employ a private individual

between the board of county commits

such purpose is ultra wires and void" p"
