THE COTTON MARKET

After two days holiday the cotton
market opened strong Tuesday
morning and advanced on the New
York market the limit for one day
of two cents per pounds. Wednes-
day (today) the market has fluctua-
ted, closing at about the figures of
yesterday. McDowell's cotton letter
of today indicates that there is a
feeling that the crop will be shorter
than is generally expected, but that
as yet there is no general demand
for cotton. Europe is not buying,
still believing in a large yield. The
weather, it is stated, will cut big
figure in matters from now on,
rainy weather being considered un-
favorable for a large yield.
Spot cotton in Abbeville sold
Tuesday for 80 cents per pound.

THE GOSSETT CASE

A motion for a new trial in the
case of The State VS.. Kenneth Cos
sett was made, pursuant to notice
given sometime ago, Tuesday morn
ing in the Court of General Ses-
sions, Judge Ernest Moore, of Lam
caster presiding.
The motion was based on the
grounds that two of the jurors who
sat on the case were not Indifferent
as beween the State and the defend
an. 1t was charged in two affidavits
one by John Mulligan and the other
by Mr.. Campbell that Mr.. Luther
G. Bolts, of Abbeville, who sat on
the jury had said before he was
drawn on the special venire that the
defendant, if guilty, should be
lynched. Mr.. Bolts denied this
statement, alleging that what he
did say was that if the defendant
was proved guilty he should be
hanged. Another affidavit was to the
effect that Mr.. Bolts in discussing
the case had said that he was glad
he was not on the jury, because if
he were and found the defendants
not guilty, he would lose the busi-
ness of the Cl:nKscales family.
This statement Mr.. Bolts denied.
The other ground was that Mr..
Joseph S. Gilbert, before the trial of
the case, had said in discussing it,
Damn a married man who would
60 riding with a single girl" Three
citizens of Calhoun Falls swore to
this statement and Mr.. Gilbert said
That he did not remember it, but he
probably had made the remark.
In arguing the case, counsel for
Gossett stated that they did not in
tend to impeach the good character
or the good intentions of either of
the gentleman named, but that the
evidence disclosed that, while they
may have believed themselves indif-
ferent, and while they did not recol-
lect to have expressed an opinion,
they had in fact done so, and the
words used by them were sufficient
to show that they had bias and feel
ing in the case.
Judge Moore, after argument,
took. the case under advisement,
saying that in a case of this gravity
he would like to have the steno-
grapher's notes of what really was
said by the jurors of their voir dire
as well as the evidence taken before
him. He announced that his decis-
ion would be made in the next few
days.
The motion was made and argued
iby Messrs. Proctor A. Bonham and
James H. Price of Greenville, repre-
Isenting Gossett and was resisted by
Solicitor Blackwell.
.Gossett it will be remembered
was convicted at special term of
court ordered for the purpose of
trying him on a charge of rape. The
jury recommended him to the mercy
of the court, and he was sentenced
to term of forty years in the peni-
tentiary.

POLES EXPLAIN
VEXED SITUATION
NOTE SENT TO LEAGUE OF MA
TIoNs. WOULD AVOID STRIFE.
WARSAW GIVES ADDED DE-
TAILS OF CoUNTRY's CON-
TROVERSY WITH LITHUANlA
CHARGING ABUSES.

Paris, Sept. THE Polish note
to the league of nations asking it to
mediate in the Polish-Litl.-anian
controversy says that while the Pol
ish armies were recreating before
the Russian Soviet forces the LII
thuanian government concluded an
agreement with the Soviet army
making use of Lithuanian territory
for its passage and the establish
ment of a military base. The note
points out that this was breach of
neutrality. The note continues:
Later when the Polish armies
were forced to withdraw from eth
nographic Polish territory as award
ed Poland by the supreme council
on December 8, 1919, Lithuanian
troops occupied by evacuated terri
tory and committed exeesses to-
ward the populations remaining
faithful to Poland. When the Boil
shevik invasion was repulsed the
Polish army reoccuppied Suwalki
and the Lithuanian government sent
a note to the Polish government de-
claring it did not recognize the
frontier as fixed by the supreme
council and asking the Poles to re-
tire behind the line of Grajevo-Au-
gustowo.
THE Polish troops have tried
throughout to avoid shedding
blood, but on September 2 de-
tachment of Polish cavalry occupy
ing Seiny was attacked by Lithuani-
an army then occupied Suwalki and
advanced upon Augustowo without
declaring war. 1t was ascertained
that Bolshevik troops cooperated
with the Lithuanians.
The Polish government was thus
faced with open and direct aggres-
sion from Lithuania. There is no
doubt possible that the armies of
Lithuania are allied with the Red
army and that the Lithuanian gov
ernment has become the tool of the
Soviet government. Owing to the
fraternal relations, which during
several centuries have existed be-
tween the Polish and Lithuanian
peoples, the Polish government
would have recourse to force of
arms only with great reluctance.
'The Polish government has taken
all measures to prevent any contact
between it's troops and Lithuanian
forces. 1t will avoid battle as long
as the strategical situation permits.
"Owing to the danger to Poland
created by the concentration of Boil
shevik roops, which is now In pro-
gress, the Polish government shall
consider itself entirely free to pro-
ceed with necessary military opera
tions to free Polish territory.
"The Polish government submits
the above facts to the league to use
all the means at is disposal in order
to prevent the Lithuanian govern
ment from continuing to cooperate
with the Soviets and cause Lithua-
MIA to abandon its strange enter
prise thus preventing the Polish ma
tion from being unter the painful
necessity of waging war against a
sister atom"

FARM IMPLEMENTS
UNDER SCRUTINY
Federal Trade Commission Makes
Report Suggesting Reopening of
Antitrust Suits-Advance
In Price Viewed With
Suspicion.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Declaring
prices of farm Implements to have
been increased without warrant
through "concerted action" of man.
ufacturers and dealers, the federal
trade commission in a report made
public tonight recommends reopen
ingof ANTITRUST proceedings against
the International Harvester Com
pany of America and institution of
judicial proceedings against imple-
ment manufacturers and dealers.
The commission declares that its
Investigation, which was ordered by
the senate, disclosed that in the
period between 1914 and 1918
prices paid by farmers for imple-
ment advanced Is per cent. with
the greater portion of the Increase
coming in 1917 and 1918. This in
crease, the commission asserts, was
larger than warranted by the ad-
vances in the costs and expenses of
the manufacturers and dealers and
resulted in the unusually large
profits.
Notwithstanding the increase,
farmers of the country, according
the commissions report "were not
prevented from making as much
croft as before because the prices
of farm products increased to an
even greater extent.
The report adds, however, that II
present implement prices are main
tanned while prices of farm pro-
ducts decrease, high implement
costs "may we'll become factor in
preventing the farmer from making
fair profit"
"The partial dissolution of the In
ternational Harvester company IN
191S," declares the commissions re-
port, "did not change the dominat-
ing position of that company in the
harvesting machine line and will
not do so while the Mccormick and
Deering plants and the steel busl-
ness remain united under its con-
troll either directly or by common
ownership Of stock.
Investigation of % manufacturers
and more than 200 dealers, the re-
port says, showed the average rate
of profit for the dealers "on invest
ments increased from 9 per cent in
1915 to 1T, per cent in 1918,
which is an increase of 105 per
cent"
The National Implement and We
hicle association, with general Of
fices in Chicago, the Southern
Wagon Manufacturers association
and the Carriage Builders National
association are designated by the
commission as organizations
through which the manufacturers
acted "by concerted action" to ad-
vance prices.
"Under cover of bringing about
uniform cost accounting, uniform
terms of sale and standardization OF
product" the report asserts, "the
manufacturers who are members Of
these associations, repeatedly ad-
vanced prices of farm implements
by concerted action during the
period if 1916 to 1918 inclusive"
Among the farm implement deal
ers, the commission charges con-
certed action was practiced through
the National Federation of lmple-
ment and Vehicle Dealers associa-
tions with offices at Abilene, Kan,
an dthe Eastern Federation of Farm
Machinery Dealers, with offices at
PHILADELPHIA, and local clubs organl.
