At the an nual dinner of the Columbia chamber of commerce' this evening. Hon. Charles . Treat; Treasurer of thj Vnlted States, was the principal speak 'er. Mr. Treat's subject was "Some vi-. ...i,ii sno-p-onHnnv" Amonz other ine imii") i- - things. Sir. Treat showed the United States government, through 'the Sec retary of the Treasury, backed up ty the President, had aided all sections ot the country, without special .privlUje t any. Mr. Treat was given a great ovatl n by the 300 or more representative citi sen gathered from all: sections of South Carolina. . ' -j MR. TREATS ADDRESS. j Uefore taking up the Aldrlch finan cial bill and other subjects which he discussed Mr. Treat paid high tribute to President Roosevelt and Commis sioner of Internal Revenue Capers, of South Carolina. The speaker said that lie brought the hearty greetings of the President, who",Tie said, cntertainthe liveliest InU-rest ln everything pertain ing to the development of this won derful section of our great republic." Turning to the question as to "How the Treasury relieved the recent finan cial disturbance and the manner ln which the President and Secretary Cortelyou met the panic and prevent ed a catacltem of credit, compared with which the panic or 1893 would have been a mere xephyr," the speak er said It had been charged by par tie not well Informed that the Secre tary of the Treasury yhowed great preponderance of favor to the New York City banks In making govern ment deposits over those of other sec tions. Mr. Treat gave the figures to prove that 'w York City banks were not unduly favored, pointing out that the percentage of public deposits to capital and surplus In thou Institu tions during the months or acute panic was smaller than in some of the Southern States. Mr. Treat said these figure fairly Illustrate that the de posits of the Treasury were put where they were mdst needed to move the rrops of the South, and that tmtc'.i of the money deposited in New York City banks was afterwards loaned to South ern banks so that the South got not only the use of direct deposits, .but also a portion of those made to the banks of the North. Mr. Treat said ha made this contrast In order to show that "Southern statesmen In Congress who Insist that there has been dis crimination against their section are uninformed and that the secretary n tne treasury ones not m-rn euirn ad verse criticism. " DEFENDS COIITELYOU. The action of those instrumental in preventing the continuance of the re cent panic, Mr. Treat nald,' gave as surance that no widespread panic i. i jk - . . - ... ours, when such marvelou business ability and ample capital and patriotic action can be at once thrown Into such a situation. Mr. Treat declred the auggestlon that Secretary Cortelyou is sued the Panama canal bonJs and cer tificates of Indebtedness at the behe&t of New York City banker to be un true and that not a banker was aware of the proposed issue until all ar rangements had been mada to that end. Defending Preal.lent Roo:eveIt from the blame of having caused the panic, Mr. Treat said he could not re call the administration of any Presi dent which had shown In a personal cense a deeper anj.more genuine sym pathy with the condition of various kinds of business affecting tha we), fare of the people, than Mr. Roov. velt. Mr. Treat expressed rratlflcatlon at the Introduction In Congress of the itrfrlk nn.nnl .! Kill .ouln, I n . a step In the right direction. He ex. I'll t-jv i. viae J 11 . H I 'J H I..IUI. Birtiiu lauiLUI changes should be made to meet the! conditions with which we are -confronted during the crop-moving sea son. He said It was desired that flna-i-clal legislation should be "non-partisan and aim to benefit the whole peo ple. While the AMrich bill In not only a long step towards the perfec tion of the national banking syt-rri and meets the present pressing ned of the day and perhaps on the eve ot a presidential election combines all the amendments that would b ac ceptable by Congress." he said, "yet I feel that the time Is close at han1 when we should consider the entire readjustment of our hanking system and the unification of the currfney." As a means of preventing a recur rence m exianng conditions in finance i eno ousiness. Mr. Treat re-advoeat?(I the plan set forth ln'hts recent sn-vrh 1 m rnwaneipnia. wnicn provllen for J the gradual retirement of the green backs and wiver certlni-ateii and sub stituting for the national bank notes a two per rent, banking bond guaran teed by the government, the elnstfeliy of the volume of currency being as sured by a reserve of $3r.6,000.OO0 of these bonds.

Representative Burleson, of Texa. has Introduced Into Congress a Mil providing that the Secretary of Agri culture shall employ three expert cot ton graders to fix a standard of classi fication of cotton and shall keep typa sample and furnlsn sine, to cotton exchanges, farmers' association and others as needed. The bill read as ---. . m pr.errui. vioe presiaeni; i. u. ujih, ie It enacted by the Benate anl . iltttry anf treasarer; Randolph House of Representative of he UJilrt French, superintendent. The business of ed State ln Congress assembled: That 'the coinpauy Is in a flourishing condl- the Secretary of Agriculture be, and he ia hereby, authorized to fix a stand ard for the different grade of cotton, calling to hla assistance for that pur pose three expert cotton classifiers, and in doing- so, he snait fix a stand ard of middling cotton and, -using same as a basis, ahall proceed to fix ft stand ard for four grade cotton above said basis, and four grades of cotton below eaid basis, giving careful consideration alike to the Interest of producer and spinners of cotton. When said stand ard has been fixed by earn Becxetaryof Agriculture of the- nine dlflerehT grades of cotton as herein provided, to be designad middling fair, strict good middling, good middling, strict mid dling, middling, strict low middling, low middling, strict good ordinary and fgood-ordlnaTy,- amenrh&ir"be, and la hereby, dec hired the ociclal standard bt cotton classification.

AS IMPORTANT DECISION'. Commissioner IYoniy Declares Rates of Southern Railway and Other Carriers on Cotton Piece Goods Are Not 1'iilawful. . Washington, Jan. IS.In an opin ion rendered lo-day by the Inter State commerce commission, the de cision being handsd down by Com missioner Prouty, it wa declared that "when a discrimination results from the commission of a State and an Inter-State late, both established by the same carrier, the matter la not tthdiawn from the Jurisdiction this commission by the fact that the discrimination Is produced by an 1m proper State rate certainly not when the State rate 1 voluntarily made by the carrier." This Jmportant principle na laid down In the case of tha Reliance Tex tile A Dye Work against the South ern Railway Company and other car riers In which It was alleged that rate on cotton piece goods from On cinnatl. O.. to Chfcaso. III., are so adjusted a to discriminate against Cincinnati ln comparison with cer tain similar establishments at Clear water, 8. C, and Lanette, Ala, The rate on cotton piece goods from Clearwater and Lanette to nearby dye work and from the dye work to Chicago Is less than the commission from the m-ill.to the dye work of the complainant at Cincinnati and from- thence to Chicago. This Is for the reason that the rate from Clear water and Lanette Is competitive with that from New England. The com mlsKlon decided '.bat while the better combination in favor of the Southern dye works may be a discrimination against the works of the complain ant. It m not, under all the circum stances, undue iind therefore unlaw ful. The complaint wa dismissed.

Locke Craig do not claim" that the party' owe htm. the nomination for Governor, but they urge upon Democrats of the State the consideration of his qualifications, hUi record and his party service. He is a Christian gentleman, or ac tio wledged ability, and of pure pri vate life. Since 1886 his services la every cam- nalrn have been at the command of the chairman of the Democratic execu tive committee, and he ha gone cheer fully where he wa ent and at hi own expense. No man in tne ciaw made more speeches In any campaign since 188 than he. except possibly Governor Glenn and Governor Aycock. He has held no public office except that of presidential elector and member of the General Assembly, and these Involved expense and not remun eration. In 1892 he was presidential elector In the ninth eongresslanal district and In 18 86 he wa presiaenuai eicciur wr the State. r The battleground of Democracy Is in the west, where he is an acknowl edged leader. , . . But It I not ln the west alone that he has rendered service. He wa born ln the County of Ber tie, where h lived until he reached manhood, and know of the trouble and trial of the east, and he has al ways supported and advocated those measures necessary for the safety and welfare of our eastern people. He ia a friend of education. In proof, we point to the fact that In the Legis lature of 189 he was chairman ot committee on education, and was largely Instrumental In framing the prent school law. He believe ln the supremacy of the white race. In the Mine Legislature he wa a member of the committee on constitutional menJment. and was on of the most active nj Influential memker ln se curing the adoption of the amendment ef 1900. At Vie same session of tbe Leglsl-ture he offered ln tha House a substitute for the pending separate rsr bill, which was adopted and I now the law under Which white and blacki rid in separate car. . He Is opposed to allowing foreign corporation, doing buslnes jln this State, to remove their cases from tha State to the Federal courts. ; At the same es.on of the Legis lature he Introduced and secured the piftfloge of a bill seeking to remelv tbt evil, end to prevent the removal ef esse to the Federal courts.

He has been an earnest advocate of the Watt law, and by hi vote, Influ ence and public utterances has cham pioned the cause of prohibition. He has done this and is now doia?-thls in hl own community whera the anti proMlbitlon vote and Influence Is strong and at the risk ot his personal popu larity.

Aycock ha .been Governor, Glenn is Governor and Craig has been presidential elector and a member of the General Asssmbly.
