New Brunswick, Nov. 2.-While
declining to comment on the inter-
view given out by the wife Of the
slain rector, the authorities con-
Quoting the investigation Of the
-Hali-Mills murder sought to iden-
tify the man described by Mrs.
Gibson, as the murderer. It was
pointed out that little could be
gained by going to the grand Jury
with the Gibson story because the
account stated that the woman she
saw on the murder scene did not
commit the murder.
James, Mills, husband of the
slain singer, commenting on Mrs.
Hairs statement in her interview,
declared he is not vindictive or
prejudicedt either, but wants Inc
murderer punished. He believes
the woman killed the couple and
cut his wife's throat in spite be-
cause Of her beautiful singing.

COLUMBIA GAS
RATE CASE
Hearing to Be Held by the
State Railroad Commission

colum bia, Oct. 31.-Several inn
portant hearings are to be held by
the South Carolina railroad COM.
mission this week, including what
wiz likely be the most important
of all, the gas and electric rae
in Columbia. :.
The Columbia case will be called
Thursday. The Columbia Railway.
Gas & Electric Co., has filed PEE.
tition for an increase in its gas and
electric rates, the increase amount
ing to about seventeen per cent Of
the present rates, it is estimated.
On Wednesday the rail body
VIII have two hearings, one on a
petition from the town of Seneca
to require the Southern Railroad to
construct an underpass there for its
traffic. The town of Seneca is di-
yided by the railroad and streets
cress the tracks On grade cross
ings. II is expected that a NUM-
Der. OF Seneca citizens VIII appear.

the petition g 8 y
Another hearing to be held by
the commission Wednesday is on
the question Of freight rates on
ice in South Carolina. 81. -
On Tuesday the commission Will
have a hearing on question OF two
overhead bridges on the Seaboard
Air Line between Middendorff and
MeBee. The road is crooked and
crosses the rails twice in this short
distance. The highway autfcri-
ties contend that the road with
tle: curves serves more people.
The railroad contends that the
road should be Strengthened, there
by eliminating both crossings.
The Columbia gas and electric
rate hearing will likely attract con
siderable attention. The commits.
sion has received no more infoE-
nation as to the presentation to
be made, other than the petition
of the company. This, is the first
case Of the kind to come before
the railroad commission since that
body took over the work Of the
former public service commission.
An audit of the company was made
for the former commission and this
viii probably serve as the basis for
the commissions work on the pres
.ent case.
The Columbia Railway. Gas &
Electric Co., contends that the
rates in effect in Columbia are low
er than in practically all other cit
les of the south and that higher
rates are imperative in order for
the company to make a proper re-
turn from the business.

for the staple at profitable prices. In
some instances, chief among tenant
farmers, banks are said to be press
ing for repaying Of cotton loans,
made earlier in the season. Ex-
cept at points where the Coopera-
tive Growers Associations have
been active, very little cotton is
being held back.
In South Carolina, Georgia and
parts of Mississippi, from 10 to 25
per cent is held for higher prices.
At other points, however, with
very few exceptions, planters are
disposing of their crops freely.
There is estimated that more than
rs per cent of the crop gathered
thus far has already been disposed
of.
IA careful study of the returns
reveals marked divergence of opin-
ion as to this seasons production.
Correspondents seem IN a happier
frame of mind than was the case
a month ago and from all parts OF
the belt reports have been receiv-
ed to the effect that the yield would
be better than expected or
larger than last year.
Undoubtedly close picking and
the fine quality of the staple will
aid in offsetting losses from other
causes. But on the other hand
there are many counties where the
yield is said to be extremely short.
Statements, however as to yield
under present abnormal conditions
seem to be highly cenjectural and
. it remains to be seen how far the
more favored sections will out
weigh the bad. Needless to say,
full ginning this year will be
awaited with even more than the
usual amount Of interest.
