COTTON TARIFE.-The following are
the revised rates Of tariff OH cotton
from Wimsboro, the charge being by
the bale: TO Boston, Fall River or
Providence, $3.50; New York and
Philadelphia, 1925; Baltimore, $500; !;
Charleston, 1926; Charlotte, $1.62;
Columbia, 70 cents.
It will be seen that the rate to New
York is twenty-five cents less than
was given in tho statement furnished
us for publication on Thursday.
These rates are much less than has
heretofore been charged. Ono dis
crepancy still exists. Tho former rate
to Columbia was 81. so and to Charles
ton $3.50. While there has been re-
duction of II cents to Columbia, tho
reduction to Charleston is but twenty
five cents. The question now is
whether the South Carolina Railroad
has increased it's rates forty-six cents,
or whether the Charlotte Road charges
that additional amount for making
this "close connection" contemplated
by the charter.

"COUNTY'S' REPLY TOR USTIC"
EDITOR ADVANCES: AS ''Rustic" has
seen fit to find stopping place in his
serial, I will proceed to answer-not his
grand array of figures, but his argyll
ments. In the ADVANCE of the 18th
ult., he says: 1--WE do not want logic"
OF course not. Who does, when he is
on the side Of the argument where rea-
son does not fit? lie wishes to drive
reason from the field when he will have
some show. Reason-logic if you will
will not down at his bidding. IIehas
failed to meet single argument put
forth by me in my previous letters. and
is therefore really unworthy of any am
swer, but as l have condescendcd to
come down to talk this matter over
with the farmers, will just tell ''Rus-
tic'' where he stands. In the first
place, he, with the rest of the ''herd,"
stands OH the ''outside" where we pro-
pose they shall continue to stand to the
end of the chapter. In the second
place, he stands as representative of
his Glass;. e. ignoring reason, and con-
sequently incompetent to hold Ill office
OF any kind. III the third place, he
with all Of his ''class''-llas only es-
capped making himself foolish by nature
getting the start of him; because he
lodges argument to make Il point, pokes
his figures into Il report with which lie
has no business, and cannot see why Il
poorly paid county officer has a right to
''perquisites. You may talk about
'srings" all YOU like. What can you do
without it? Where can you turn for
another set Of men who can so run our
county as to have it's bonds sell ut a pre-
MUM? I am sure il you have any
sense (which very much doubt you
will appreciate what 'Brains," us you
Justly call us, have done for you. And if
after thinking this over you still he
grudge the little we get, even though it
does not strictly conform to the letter
of the law-if, say, you still begrudge
the little we get, then l will just ask
e01.at are you goang to do atout 1t? One
of your herd" threatens us with

of you have your property mortgaged,
and to save yourselves yoa dre obliged to

the other tenth, Il little button-holing,
Or Il few favors judiciously distributed

You may perhaps think that this sa-
vors of slavery, but as you called for
facts. give you few. How do you
like them? AS for ''lsrainless, fright

meddle no more III business they can

best way to raise their mortgages.
And, lastly, Mr.. ''Rustic, 'as you value
your well-being-sociallya and otherwise

reports with which you have no busi-
Eess. If I guess rightly from your style
of writing, you arc young man full of
honor and ambition. I would just i'll
form you that you are taking the wrong

THE VETO!

THE VETO
The President vetoed the Military in
reference bill on Monday. and thus
headed off the State Supremacy Democ-
racy again. The main reason for the
veto may be found in the following par
agraph Of the veto message:
Under the sweeping terms Of the
bill the national government IS effect
ually shut out from the exercise OF the
right and from the discharge of the i'm
l,erative duty to use its whole executive
power whenever and wherever required
for the enforcement Of the United
States laws in places and time; where
and when its elections are held.
LOWER FREIGHTs.
r. Simmons, of Westside, writes to
the Jackson Republic and says:
The Southern Minnesota will run
about fifteen or twenty miles north OF
this line and can be reached in one days
drive, and we should expect to get ten
or fifteen cents more for our wheat, as
it would find an eastern market-Chi-
cag0 or Milwaukee. There is about
thirty cents per bushel between this
market and Chicago market, which is
deducted for railroad freight.
No doubt the opening of the Southern
Minnesota through this part of the
country will have the effect to reduce
freight rates. The 5. G. & St. p. will
have to reduce or lose their business.
Grain will probably be carried from
Adrian 1T as low rates as from any
point north Of there on the Southern
Minnesota.

How this world is given to sensa-
tions! The excitement over the Rev.
Chas. Beecler's book endorsing Spirit
ualism has not yet died out, and now
comes Mr.. Henry Kiddle, Snperintend-
ent of Schools Of New York city, with
a volume of spirit communications re-
ceived through his son and daughter in
the bosom of his own family. Mr.. Kid
die, from firm sense of duty, takes
the responsibility of publishing the
book, knowing that it will probably
cost him his position as Superintend-
ent.
We have before us copy of the New
York Tribune containing two and a
half columns. upon the subject of the
book.
The views of members of the Board
of Education and others are given.
First Assistant Superintendent Harris

enough in New York who think be-
cause man has opinions of that kind
he should be prosecuted out of his place
to force him to lesign." Does Mr.. Har-
rison remember Baxter who was dis
charged from the Winchester, Mass,
schools because the spirit-world forced
him to be medium? Henry P. West,
Commissioner of Schools, said he could
not say how it would affect Mr.. Kid

believed that he was man who would
