It cost W. C.

Wernimont, the attorney | charged with withholding money collected by him for h's clients, T. & M. Wolfson. Mr. Galloway had been subpoenaed as a wit- ness against Wernimont and was seated in the court room in the space back of the | ralling while Wernimont was on the stand during the morning session. In examining Wernimont counsel asked him the ques- tion: “DIA you have any conversation with Mr. Galloway In which you stated that there would be ample funds to pay all of Woolt- son's creditors?” “No, sir,”" replied Wernimont The answer had barely come from the witness' lips when Mr. Galloway, half ris- ing in his seat, exclaimed “He's a llar! The vehemence with which the decla: tion was made startled the court and every- one in the room. Balliff Peterson rapped | for order and Judge Wheeler, as soon as he bad overcome his surprise, demanded to know the name of the person who had thus interrupted the proceedings. Having been informed he called Mr. Galloway before bim, saying: “Mr. Galloway, you have until 1:30 o'elock this afternoon to show cause why you should not be deemed in contempt of court and punished accordingly.” Mr. Galloway started to explain and apologize for his outbreak, saying that he realized he had been hasty in making such a etatement and in such a manner, but the court told him to reserve his explanation tor later. When court convened in the afternoon Mr. Galloway submitted a writ- ten statement, which evidently did not sat- isty Judge Wheeler, as he fined him $10, which amgunt Galloway promptly pald to the clerk of the court, and the incident wi closed. Later Mr. Galloway was placed on the witness stand and testified that he had | bad the conversation with Wernimont and that the latter had assured him in answer | to his inquiries that there would be ample | funds to pay all of Woolfson's liabilities. The hearing was not concluded when court adjourned for the day. Damages for Affections.

STATISTICS ~ ON TEXTILES | Oensus Bulletin Shows Immense Progress in this Line of Industry. |LEADS WORLD IN COTTON PRODUCTION Home Manufacturer: Lines of Textiles Crowd Out Foreign Until Only Little Over § Per Cent In Imported. WASHINGTON, June 27.—~The Census bureau today issued a report on the com- bined textile industry of the United States for 1900. The branches included in ths industry follow: Cotton manufacturers, in- cluding cotton goods and cotton small wares; wool manufacturers, including wool- en goods, worsted goods, carpets and rugs other than rags, felt goods and wool hats; silk manufacturers; hosiery and knit goods: cordage and twine; linen goods; jute goods, and dying and finishing textiles. The census shows a capital of $1,042,907, 577 Invested in the 4,312 establishments representing the industry. The value of the products is returned at $931,494,568; to pro- duce, which involved an outlay of $209,022, 447 for wages; $63,122,915 for miscellaneous expenses and $521,345,200 for materials used, mills, supplies, freight and fuel. The value now represented for hosiery and knit goods cannot be divided between cotton and wool, but if it be added to the reported home production the total value of the textiles consumed in the United States In 1900 is $895,587,681, and the per- centage imported is only 9.18. Leads the World in Cotton. The report says the census tables seem to indicate that the United States in 1900 was the leading country of the world In the manufacture of cotton, but quotes other authorities and adds: “‘Altheugh the amount consumed by the countries of the European continent ex- ceeded that consumed in the United States, the consumption in the latter country great- ly exceeded that of any one of the countries of France, Germany, Austria, Russia and others. “It is, however, universally known that Great Britain is far in the lead In cotton manufactures. The fact {s brought out in the special on the cotton industiy that an Immense proportion of the spinning in the United States is coarse or medium yarns, whereas the average spinning on the other side of the Atlantic 1s much finer."” The report concludes: “The sudden springing of the eouthern states into prominence in the cotton in- dustry is shown strikingly by the total increase of capital from $20,413,000 in 1880 to $62,623,700 in 1890 and to $137,172,500 in 1900. Ten years ago and also in 1880 Geor- gla was easily the leader among the south- ern states, but it has now been surpassed by both South Carolina and North Carollna, in each of which states the value of prod- ucts was not much less than in the states of Malne and New Hampshire, where the industry has been established for halt a century, and in the number of hands em- ployed both North and South Carolina eur- pass both’of these New England states.” be quartermaster, with rank of captain from March, 1899;'Corporal John A.
