Two Men Re-arrested
Murray and Harris Wanted in
Augusta Arrested on Order
of Gov. Cooper.

Isaac Murray and Christian Har-
ris. colored, who were arrested last
week by the city police on warrant
from Augusta, Ca, and subsequently
released by order Of Associate Justice
Fraser. after hearing in habeas cor
pus proceedings on the ground of in
sufficiency of the warrant, which al
legged a felony, without specifications,
were arrested Monday afternoon
by Sheriff Hurst, by order Of Gov.
Cooper. They were committed to jail
under a warrant charging that they
are fugitives from justice. They are
being held pending a hearing by Gov.
Cooper, who will decide whether or
not he will grant eXtradition papers.
1t is stated that Murray and Har-
ris arc charged with purchasing stolen
goods in Augusta, Ca, which goods
they knew to be stolen when they pur-
chased them. They are negroes of
good reputation and Sumter is their
home. Murray is fireman in the
service of the Atlantic Coast Line and
Harris a Pullman porter. It is stat
ed that they do not deny purchasing
the goods in question, but deny that
they had any reason to believe that
the goods were not the lawful prop
erty of the seller. One fact that
counts in their favor is that they made
no effort to leave Sumter after their
discharge last week.

High Honor For

congressional medal of honor, either
by Maj. Gen. II. G. Sharpe, COM
manding the Southeastern depart

able that S. D. Hilton Of Westville,
father of the gallant soldier, will go
to Atlanta to witness the memor-
able event. Sergeant Hilton lost an
arm as a result Of wounds received
in the brilliant expoit which won him
much glory. But for the fact that
Sergeant Hilton was sent back to
America the medal would have been
presented to him by General Perish

Charging a machine gun nest, kill
ing six Germans, and capturing ten
prisoners is the notable act Tor which
the South Carolina hero was award

his brave act reads: For conspicuous

Anticipate Bull Market
Fairchild & Co.,, Predict Adj

The following letter sent to custom-
ers by Chas. Fairchild & Co., cotton
brokers, of New York, is interesting;
whether it is convincing or not is ans
other question. But even from spec
ulator's point of view the only nope
OF an advance is based upon the dras-5
tice reduction Of the cotton acreage:
cat the present time contracts have
declined in New York approximately
s75 a bale from the high. There nave
been a variety Of reasons for this.
chiefly among them being the en-
barge which prevents us from getting
rid of our low grade cotton and the

these prices and held firmly will show

perhaps more during this present. sea-

minds that the farmers are in earn

Resume Public Work.

There is one matter or emergency
however, which should demand the at
tention of Congress at once and to
which I believe that body will give
thought and as to which it will act
before the 4th Of March. Our men are
returning from France. Our war in
dustries have been broken up. This
means that there will be a temporary
problem of unemployment during the

. To meet this situation the Govern
ment cannot act too swiftly. There
should be a planned cooperation be-
tween our industries. the cities. the
States. and the Federal Government

that work should be made for men,
but that work that is needed should
now be done.
The fact is not generally noted, but

the past four years except III the pro
motion of those things needed to Sup
