AFTER CARNIVAL OWNERS
Law Requires Payment Of Iwe'
Amount Lost if Convicted.

Taking advantage Of q law whicn
proyides that moneys or property ios'
through swindling or cheating at a
game of chance, at least one resident
of. the Williamson cotton mill village
hopes to recover money which ne
claims he lost through swindling at
carnival which recently played an en-
gagement near the Williamson MILL
saws the Anderson Daily Mail.
Deputies Shelton and Clamp left this
morning for Enoree with warrants for
the arrest of two white men connect
ed with the carnival. w. B. Browning
Of Williamson was deponent on one of
the warrants and charged that he had
been swindled out of small amount OF
money, some 81 or more, it is under
stood, and he has brought prosecution
through Section 713 of the South
Carolina Code, which provides for the
payment upon conviction of cheating
or fraud in a game or device, of double
the amount Of money lost by the per-
son bringing the action. The warrant
was issued before Magistrate G. II
Geiger, of this city.

GAMBLERS IN COTTON
Rival Exchanges" Threaten War
Aoainst Each Other.


.-. Against Each Other.
The American Cotton Exchange, 1nc.'
at 81 Broad st. New York, Is under In
vestigation by the district attorneys
office on complaint that it is bucket
shop. Officers of the exchange have
been questioned and the books are be-
ing examined by an auditor from the
prosecutors office.
A. w. Graham, better known as
Judge Graham, who formerly was
United States cotton futures at
torney, is president Of the exchange.
Randolph Rose, who operates two
brokerage companies here, is vice.
president. The name Of the exchange
up to two months ago was the Ameri-
can Cotton and Grain Exchange. Up
wards of 1000 seats on the exchange
have been sold, according to the Globe.
In certain quarters in Wall Street
the view was taken that the investiga-
tion marked the beginning of a fight by
the New York Cotton Exchange
against a so-called rival organization.
1t was denied by members Of the New
York Cotton Exchange that they or
their organization were interested in
the inquiry in any way. No charge
was made by the American Cotton Ex-
change that the older exchange was
behind the investigation.
The two exchanges cannot be saio to
be competitors in business sense. The
New York Cotton Exchange is fifty
one years old, its seats sell for around
$500 each, and the minimum unit in
which trading is permitted is 100 bales.
The American Cotton Exchange Is four
years old, it's seats have par value"
of $1,000, and the minimum trading
unit Is ten bales.
1t is alleged that the younger eX-
change, which was promoted by Joseph
C. Cooper, secures by irregular means
the quotations of the New York Cot
ton Exchange and posts them on its
board for the information and guidance
Of members.
Judge Graham maintained that the
exchange was conducted along lines
similar to those Of the larger ex-
changes" He said:
Members are held to strict account
ability, and if convicted of violation OF
either the rules or bylaws are sum-
marily disciplined. The buying and
selling on the exchange is conducted
under the supervision Of Col. George
w. Pratt, its secretary, in exactly the
same way as on other exchanges. The
| hour and date of every trade Is re-
corded, together with the price. The
contract is that approved by the Unit
ed States Cotton Futures Act, Section
5. The sheets are stamped and put
into the Clearing House, and monthly
returns made to the United States Cot.
ton Futures Office in the Interna
Revenue Department. The Clearing
Association also makes a monthly re.
| turn similar to that made by othel
clearing associations, so that the gov.
ernment has a complete check on al
transactions made on the floor of the
exchange-Commerce and Finance.

"And yet some men may make

"I have known men to make money
selling early onions; but all these men
had lost their front teeth and chewed

what Is the connection? I never
knew. My facts were gained by OBJ
serving the men that made money SELL
ing early onions; and they were all
that way.
"This convinced me that unless a
man had lost his front teeth and
chewed after the manner of a rabbit
he would fail at selling early onions.

clean seed now by machinery.
sheep raising paid big money and
sheep sold for less then than now; wool
sod for less.
"As to goat raising, I am assuming
that men have some character and self
respect left; and that they are above
taking a mans money for so disreput-
able an animal as a goat.
"The forecast for huge emergence
of boil weevils this spring is reassuring.
They are doing grand work for God
