Gov. Manning Has a Two. Third
Majority
Columbia, S. c., Jan. Slack
ing many of the political ami
mosities customary under the
surface IN recent years the Sew
enty.second General Assembly
will gather for its first session
Tuesday at noon.
The House will be called to
order by ]. Wilson Glbbes, the
clerk of the last body. James A.
Hoyt, Speaker last year, will be
reelected, indications being
without opposition. MIR. Gibbes
is being opposed for clerk by
Harold G. Booker, editor of The
Spartanburg Journal.
Speaker Hoyt will name the
committees. ]. T. Lilies of
Orangeburg will again be chair
man of the ways and means
committee and ]. w. Boyd of
Spartanburg, chairman of the
judiciary committee.
The House is Overwhelmingly
Manning in sentiment and the
administration has a two.thirds
majority in both the Senate and
House. Joseph A. Berry of
Orangeburg is unopposed for
Speaker pro. tenn to succeed
George S. Mower of Newberry,
who was defeated last summer
in the primaries.
Governor Manning will send
his annual message to the Gen.
eral Assembly Tuesday. 1t will
be short.
The Inauguration of Governor
Manning for bis second term
will take place Tuesday week at
noon in the presence of the joint
session of the two houses. The
oath of office will be admins
tered by Chief Justice Eugene B.
Ga - Court and
wi (paugur.
al address IN which the Govern
or is expected to outline the
measures which he hopes to
have enacted into law.
The small minorities in both
houses who are classed as fol-
lowers of the opposition to the
present administrative and are
known as Bleaseites are almost
entirely new material. In the
House it is thought that less than
score of members of this fac
ton will probably be. led by w.
X. Richey, Jr., of Laurens of H.
Clint Summers of Anderson, a
brother.ln-law of the former
Governor. Extreme partisans
are lacking and it is thought that
the session will be harmonious
IN most respects. There are on.
ly three Blease Senators out of C
total membership of As and they
will hardly present any organ.

of the administration.

There was not a homicide in
Union county during the. year
1916. Nothing to brag about
but the record is improving.
The year 1917 is. but four days
old and the record made in 1916
has already been broken.
Next Tuesday, January 9th,
will be the t3rd anniversary of
the wedding of MIR. and Mrs.
John Q. Griffin, of east Monroe
township. They abide together
in green old age and are well
and vigorous. Mr.. Griffin is IS
years old and Mrs. Griffin is 79.
This fine old couple have lived
together longer, perhaps, than
any other now living in the

him commit the crime that they

people who saw him, took q
good sized rock, smashed a
large plate glass window in the

UNEXPECTED DECLINE
IN RAILROAD STOCKS
lndustrials Also Slip as Money
Sdfens in N. Y. Market.
CBy the international News Service,

(By the international News Seryice.)
New York. Sept. 4-The stock mar
ket suffered its sharpest break in
months today. Real liquidation. par
ticularly in railroad shares, took the
place OF the bear attacks which had
weakened the market previous to the
three-day holiday. There was some
slight recovery toward the close but
Ihs feeling was one Of uncertainty.
Some OF the prominent net losses
on the day follow:
RaiIroads-Baltimore and Ohio, .: St.
Paul. 8; New York Central, IS; Read
ing, 81; Southern Pacific, 31-4.
dustrials-AmeriCan Locomotive,
31-4: American Smelling, 31-i; Ana
Conda, rs: central Leather. 6 81;
Cuban Sugar. 71-2; Mercantile Marine,
8: Mexican Petroleum, Az; United
States Steel. { 4S-4.
The market started off bravely
enough. During most Of the morning
last weeks shorts covered freely,
causing a brisk rally. But about mid
day, without apparent motive, prices
began to break abruptly. There was
practically nothing in the published
news to account for the weakness, but
the very mystery Of it added to the
professional pessimism. Moreover, the
fact that the standard railroad shares
were the chief sufferers was disturb
ing factor. In hunting for reason for
the dccliue, il was suggested that COLA
teraI behind the British loans was be-
ing released as the result Of the hoata-
tion OF British treasury notes mere.
The fall OF Riga exercised very little
influence, but the impression was gen
eraI that the situation abroad was
assuming a phase which pressaGed an
other year or more Of war.
. During the heiSht OF the break the
fecessions in some Of the railroads
went as high as four points. JnIon
Pacific, Reading. 81. Paul and New
YORK Central were the leaders in the
rails. The very strength In these
stocks during the decentralization OF
last week increased the disluieunS
feeling in the street. In some circles
II was hinted that difficulties in hnanc-
ing had a good deal to do with the
break, as in the stifeninE money mar
ket it would not be easy to secure
the funds for betterments which the
roads. with their present huge traI-
nc. inperatively require, without pay
ing stifr rates.
The wea akncss in the industrials was
accumulated by a rumor from WASH
ington that told. Of plans for Increased
regulation Of some OF the big corpor-
ations.
Railroad earnings reported were en-
couraging in net results.

NEW YORK MONEY.

New Nors, SeIt. 4.-NToney on call ruled at s

the orening OF the week was firm, with mOder-
aie business. Rates On industrial collateral

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. Sept. L-Renewed weakness under
increased offering was shown in the cotton mar
ket today. Part of the liquidation was due to
a break in securities, which caused selling by
Wall Street interests. Selling by Liverpool was
accompanied by reports that it represented
hedging against purchases Of spot in the South.
Western interests sold freely. and 1t was ra-
m0rel that some Of the New England mills
were letting 60 Of some Of their holdings. Trad-
ing was quite active.
Good rains in Southwestern Texas brought out
large supply at the opening, with sTot houses
and Southern interests selling on a large scale.
Commission houses also had orders to sell. and
a result prices declined ij to IS POINTS on
call with the tone easy. There was some GOV
enrg Of shorts by room traders. and Liverpool
and Wall Street also purchased but while the
demand steadied the market trife. it was not
sufficient to take care Of the pressure, exert at

CHICAGO GRAIN.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-The sharp price losses in
the Wall Street markets for stocks changed I.
strong gram situation into a decidedly weak
one. The early buying Of corn and oats was Of
the best character. and there were pries ad-
yanoes as compared with the resting spots Of
Saturday OF lAsaI7s.
Com Possessed many strong features early in
the session because Of the reported frosts over
the holiday. The early buying and the conse-
Quent advance seemed to he TO the liking Of
those who adhered strictly to the bearish side
for some time and there was downpour Of
corn from those interests and |. consequent
priee recession which caused net losses for the
day of sac. he December future reached
