Committee on In ter- Rate ami Foreign Commerce wi.h a view to securing an agree- 1 mont as to a standard si/.e cotton baie. There is evidently gootl rea son on the part of the railroads and steamship companies for making such a regulation as to size, anti they have doubtless impressed the just ness of their reasons upon tho com mlttee having oversight of the mat tor. lt is stated that tho ginners can with bul little Inconvenience comply with the regulations, which call for 1 a standard size hale measuring 27 by S4 inches. Many ginners, it is said have complied with the require ments and will turn out all cotton hales of a standard size. Tho gin ners of Oconee hav not started up business to any g -eat extent, and if there ls no rescinding of the order for tho 27 by 54-inch bale, it. seems but reasonable that tin? ginners of this section should get to work and make tho changes necessary to con- I form to the now ruling, lt may be . that they are now working on the ? standard basis, but if they are not, I it would seem that they should have the interest of their patrons at heart sufficiently tt> standardize their gins. 1 Wo do not call attention to this matter as a criticism of any one. but ' simply in the interest of producer j and ginner alike. If the possibility of penalty can bo avoided it should j bo done. Ceo. R. Rem bert seems to have gotten himself tangled up in tho Dull Moose's Heard.

Express Messenger ami Engineer HHil in Charleston. Charleston, Sept. 5.-William B. Street, ot Hivesville. and Bruce Coleman, express messenger, were ar rested this afternoon and lodged at the police station charged with t ho recent robbery nf tlx* express ear of the Southern railway. Chief Cant well ?aid to-night that Street had confessed Ulai lhere was a "frame np" between him and Coleman to rob the car. Street says he boarded tho car ;it Summerville and lefl the train at Magnolia Crossing with Coleman a willing victim to imprisonment in the chest, m which he was found by Ibo train officials upon arrival al Charleston. Street was brought to (' ha rlesl op by Detectives Hogan and Petreno v ??-li. having been ari <^ ted on a war ran! sworn out al Kees csv iib'. Street was tnken Into custody at Iteevos viile to-day. Coleman refuses to ad- i mit any participation in tho plot. Detective Hanley, of the Southern railway, and the olucials of tho ex press company co-operated with the Charleston police department in making t ho arrest. W. P.. Street's Statement, following is tim substance of the statement made by W. li. St.ee?. a former member of t he engineer's and Firemen's organiza!ions: I rode with Ibis boy (Coleman) back and forth on the trains several i times. Ile said to mo one day, going j lo Branchville, when I was on the car with him. that he had a payroll > amounting to very near $ I.timi, and ; he slated to me if we had this we' would b Coast Dine crossing. I walk ed back in. shut tho door and bolted it. Then lie said to mo, leaving seven miles: 'Where are you going to get off af." I said. I can get. off at Magnolia Crossing.' Ile says, 'AU right; don't put me in tho box until they reach Magnolia.' When the en gine blowed four whistles for the board, he says. 'What do you say now.' and ho opened the box and crawled in and told mo to put one hook on the lid I know I fastened ono hook -the one on tho end next lo the mail car. I got off when they were crossing Magnolia Crossing. I haven't seen Mr. Coleman since. The last thing he said was. 'There will be another time coining, when we will get home, but. you take this and take caro of it.' I carno on to thc house and borrowed $17 from my boarding mistress, because I knew if I blew : lot of money 1 would be sus pected of something. I played cards about two and a half or three hours. I guess, and had some supper at a restaurant. Next morning I got a grip of whiskey, about 2.", pints, and two quarts of Old Kentucy Springs; wenl to Branchville on 27 and re turned home on 12 at which time I met Brlckman, and we had three or four drinks between us. Ho says, What do you think a bon I that hold up last night.' I said. 'I only saw an account of lt In the pa|>er this morn ing before I left Charleston.' " Union Not Concerned. Henry G. Senseney, chief of tho T. M. Conlon Division of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers, said yesterday that Street, had not boen a I member of the organization for some time and that the Brotherhood would i not assist in his defence. W. V. Meyer, financial secretary, and G. D. Woaterlnd, recording secretary of tho firemen's organization, also said that the union would not assist Street. Lumber Plant Burnell. Statesville, N. C..

Comptroller General Jones and Attor ney General Lyon Sustained. Columbia, Sept. 8.---Tho Supreme Court to-day declared the act of 1912 providing for the refunding of the $5,500,000 bonded dido of the State constitutional and legal and declared that the sinking fund commission was at liberty to carry out the provisions of the act. The suit was brought by W. W. Hay. a tax-payer, to tesl the validity of tho act, and Governor Blouse in his return asked tho court to set tho act aside. All of tho points rais ed by the Governor were over-ruled. Tho court said that membership in tile sinking fund commission did not constitute a seperate o III ce and dei lared there were no fraud or ir regularities in tho refunding act of 1 :? I 2. The effo< > of the decision is to sus tain the contention of Comptroller I General Jones and former Attorney General Lyon and rejects the conten tion of Governor lilcase in the posi tions he assumed oil the actions of Hie last sinking fund commission. Don't Let Unhy Sutler With Eczema and Skin Eruptions. Dahles need a perfect skin cover ing. Skin eruptions cause them not only intense suffering. but. hinder their growth. Dr. Robson's eczema Ointment can bo relied on for relief and permanent euro of suffering ba bies whose skin eruptions have made their life miserable. "Our baby was afflicted with breaking out of the skin ali over the face and scalp. Doc tors and skin specialists failed to help it.
