NOVEL WAY TO RAISE PRICES.
South Carolina Cotton Farmers Would Sell
Their Product to the County

South Carolina Cotton Farmers Would Sell
Their Product to the County.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Dec. 6.-GSpecfai. 1.-The
cotton farmers of Greenville county have
adopted novel mode of raising tho price of
cotton. At q mass meeting held yesterday
the following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That we. the cotton producers of
Greenvile county, and other citizens thereof. agree
to assign all cotton to be made in the county In 1902
to the County Commissioner his officers to be
elected by the voters of the county. and Will de-
liver the same at such place in the county may
be directed by said County Commissioner. provided
the said County Commissioner other officers pay
for the same in cash in county bonds at IL cents
pound for middling and less. or more for other
cotton by class or grade, cent pound 10 be re-
served for expenses. etc.
The County Commissioners referred to are
fiscal officers of the county, and the propo-
sition 20 pay for cotton by issuing county
bonds is novel. The same meeting also
adopted resolutions looking TO inaugurating
q movement to secure from the general
Government the restoration of s6000O,0OO
taxes collected on cotton just after the close
of the war of secession. The amount col
lected in this State in taxes on cotton aggre-
gates S5,O00OO0. 1t is proposed to invite the
aid OF all the Southern States in this effort
to get Congress to refund this tax.

Munro, Jr., and David Munro are two dis
tinct individuals. Hence his second asser-
ton amounts to the declaration thai if the
inspectors make the pleasant little mistake,
voluntarily or otherwise, of returning
votes cast for one man, as given for an
other, there is no power to change it. For
all the practical purposes and logical re-
suits of Barlow's opinion the board of in
spectors might have counted 100 or 900
votes for David A. Munro, Jr., as given to
Peter Ryan, and we have Mr.. Barlow's
authority that there would be no appeal to
the courts to rectify that fraud.
Mr.. Barlow feels the need of some justlfi-
cation for this striking redelctio dd absurdat'n
of the red tape view, for he goes on to say:
1.-The question is of far greater importance
whether our elections are to be
carried on by Judges of the Supreme
Court or by the public officers to whom
the law has committed that duty" This
may be the paramount duty; but since the
sole act of the judges in the case at issue
consists in ordering that the returns shall
be correctly and honestly made, the lay
mind may conceive question OF even
greater Importance. It is whether the
man whom the majority of voters have
voted for shall receive the position to
which he is elected. Barlow's PROPOSE
tions carried to clear logical conclusion
contain their own refutation.

DEATHS HERE AND ELSEWHERE.
Lysander s. Norton, Lawyer.

The death of Lysander S. Norton, a MEN,
Der of the Erie bar. is announced at a private
insane asylum In Canadasiua, n. Y. The deceased
was a native of Meadville and graduate of AIle-
gheny College at that place. He was for a number
of years one of the most brilliant legal lights In
Erie county. He married the only daughter of the
late Colonel G. b. Curtis, member of Congress
for several terms. Norton Oyer-taxed his strength
in sensational trial for malpractice against
prominent physician and this weakened his mind.
Ten years ago he was strong candidate for Presi-
dent Judge in Erie county. when his mind failed
him. Owing to an attempt to take the lives of his
family he was sent to KIrkbride, near Philadel-
phia. So cumming and ingenious was he that he
actually carried himscl before the court on writ
of habeas corpus. and was released on his own
arguments based upon an intimate knowledge of
the law. Returning to Erie. lr went cunning for
the men who had taken him to the asylum, but
before he could carry his intention into effect he
was arrested again, and this time taken to the
private ASYLUM.

AMERICAN ARMOR.

The report of the Secretary of the Navy,
in touching upon the progress made in the
manufacture of armor plates, corroborates
the view already set forth in these col
umns, of the Importance of the facts dem
onstrated by tie tests at Indian Head last
fall.
The important feature demonstrated by
those tests, and stated in the reports, is
that American establishments, although
just beginning the work, have turned out
heavy armor, not only equal to the best
produced by years of effort in the work.
shops of Europe, but such as successfully
met tests of much severer character than
have ever been made in the Old World.
While this work is at present done in but
two establishments, the facts show capa-
bility for indefinite expansion if there
should be a need for it. In the quality of
product honors are about equally divided
between the firm of Carnegie, Phipps &
Co., and the Bethlehem Iron Works; but
the former firm has scored a step in ad-
vance of the rest of the world by proving
that rolled plates can be turned out of
even quality equal to those forged under
the hammer The leadership of the Pitts
burg firm in this demonstration, which
enables the production to be readily ex-
panded and makes a material reduction in
the cost, is shown by the fact that the
Bethlehem works have followed the eX-
ample and are making arrangements to
turn out rolled plates hereafter. -..-
With this important achievement of
American skill and industry, the work of
creating our new navy should be prose-
cuted with vigor. 1t is to be hoped that
the next year will show as marked pro-
gress in guns and projectiles as the clos
ing year has effected in the production of
armor

That is a very interesting story which
comes from Kansas as TO a reported plan
10 combine the Peoples Party and Demo-
cratic vote in Kansas, Nebraska, Mime
sofa and the two Dakotas, with the intent
Of capturing the siXty-fOu electoral votes
Of those States from the Republicans.
At liIst blush the project seems to have
The elements Of practicable political
stroke, provided the coalescing parties can
accomplish the difficult task of reaching a
common platform of principles and pur-
poses. But as the details affecting the en-
Jerprise are studied, the idea grows that
.here may be more difficulties than the
very large one of pledging the two parties
to tne support of a Presidential candidate
Who may be more obnoxious to one or the
other of them than the candidate to be de-
feated by the coalition.
The plan obviously requires that the
former Republican element which makes
HD large share of the Peoples party
must be held in the coalition in order to
make il successful The natural difficulty
IN dong this is recognized in the reported
effort to keep the movement for coali-
liun secret lest the ex-Republican element
shift itself back to its old allegiance. But
the coalition cannot always be kept Sc
cTaJ 1t must be openly avowed sooner or
later in order to elect the ticket it would
pUtup. Ii the Republican Peoples Party
men would bolt such coalition in Decem-
Der, 1891, what is to prevent them from
bolting it III August, September or Octo-
5er, 1899?
So that, after all, the project of Demo-
cratic-Alliance conquest is not so danger
GUS as il looks at first sight. We think the
election next year will be plain stand-up
fight, and the reported combination is
simply an illustration of the prevalent un-
certainties that surround national politics
nj this time.

COLORADO INVESTMENTS.
Over a Hundred Millions of British Money
Put Into Enterprises.


NEW YORK, Dec. 6. 6.-tSpecidl. Speaking
of Colorado, Brick" Pomeroy tells me
there are over s1OO,O0O,0j0 of English
capital invested in that State. "In Den
ver," said he, "there are London agents
who act directly for English investors. In
every direction you can see English invest
ors. While this may also be true of other
Western States, it is not so marked else
where as in Colorado.
"They will take hold of anything that
looks substantial and promises fair profit
and as to that they will raise money
in London for what an American
wouldn't touch. I mean as to the mar
gin of the profit. They are rather con-
servative, and prefer safety to large returns,
and therefore seek substantialities. When
an Englishman goes ont there to look the
ground over he rarely goes away without
going into something. and year or two
later you'll see him back a ain, most likely
to remain. Your typical Londoner knows
more about Colorado than any other State
in the Union"

THE observant Washington Post is
troubled in its mind because one of the
illustrations of the launching of the New
York represents the vessel as sliding down
into the water stern foremost, while another
shows it plunging into it's element bows on.
Both pictures being done by ARTISTS on the
spot" the esteemed Post cannot reconcile
the matter. Our contemporary is evidently
laboring under the delusion that the poetic
license of the illustrative genius is to be
hampered by dull, cold and leaden accuracy
"a most Philistine idea which the proper
study of newspaper illustration will alone
refute.

IT is interesting to observe, after the
New York newspapers have been denounc-
ing the attempts to introduce the deadly
trolley wire in New York City, that one of
the avenues there was rendered perilous
last week by the blowing down of electric
light wires to the length of a mile. A city
that can have the dangers of overhead arc
light wires hardly need start with fright at
the idea of the much milder trolley.

HICC0 UGHING EVERY BREATH
A Strange Malady THAT Has Seized a
Prominent Young Man.

SHELBY, o., Dec. 6.-V. o. Peters, the young
man suffering from unaccountable attack
of the hiccoughs, is still alive, suffering more
than it seems possible for the physical sys-
tenn to endure. 1t is one week to-day since
the attack, and he has hiccoughed almost
necessarily with every breath since, awake
or asleep.
Every mail brings 30 or more letters from
physicians and others suggesting cure for
the sufferer, while telegrams are received by
the dozen. Out of over hundred advices
receiv ed in this manner not one suggestion
was offered but what had been previously
tried. The sufferer is one of Shelby's most
successful and prominent business young
men, is wealthy, and had a brilliant future
before him. He is now Just in the prime of
life, about 30 years of age.

WITH regard to Chicago's trouble with
soft coal, the New York Advertiser wants to
know "why they do not turn to hard coal

might finu that the combination in the hard
coal industry which makes that fuel about
twice as expensive in proportion to heating
power has something to do with it.
