Cows in Politics.


1t is a toss-up whether Farmer Tillman, OF
South Carolina, wins a second guberna-
torial term or oblivion in the state cam
paign this fall. A very unique feature has
been brought into the fight, one which has
never heretofore been made the subject Of
burning sloquence on the stump, nor yet to
adorn a tale Of political ambition 1t is
cows-just plain. ordinary. every day go
as-you-please COWS, hence the toss-up.
/ The MORNING NEWS in its telegraphic
columns Friday printed an interesting
addition to the history Of this bovine cam
paign, an incident which Is depended
upon to assist materially in precipiteting
the governor into the bouillon. The facts
were. IN short, that the governor, who has
always been violent advocate Of a "just
and equitable assessment Of values
for taxation" recently sold twelve COWS
TO the state lunatio asylum, of the
board Of regents Of which institu-
ton he is ex-officio a member, for
$50 each. An inquisitive reporter, by haul
ing over the Edgefeld tax books, discovered
that these cows had been returned for taxa
ton only a short while before their sale at
$40 each. That's one horn of the governors
dilemma.
About the time the free pass agitation
was made interesting by the discovery that
Gov. Tillmsn had accepted one, somebody
had the hardihood to ask him where he had
been on a certain occasion, when he
travelled on the pass. The inquirer was
told that he had only run down to Ninety
six to hold conference concerning some
cattle with John Irby. 1t later developed
that the "cow conference" was a political
meeting. Irby is the chairman of the state
executive committee, and United States
senator. and since then the COW conference
has been on the slate for campaign pur-
poses. Another horn to the dilemma
Cattle have so frequently crossed Till
mans path during his administration that
he has come to regard himself a boss, and
therefore entitled 60 pull the teats of the
treasury for pictures and flower seeds at
pleasure, even to the overdrawing of the
fund provided for the executive residence.
During his campaign it was his custom to
speak of his auditors as believing bulls''
and "bull-h headed simpletons," and the
cream of his rhetorical flights frequently
W LIE OppOhoubS as uon III WDOm
the milk Of human kindness did not exist.
Another horn of the dilemma-which, by
the way, has as many horns as Savannah
swamp bucks the fact that the governori is
accused Of. and has not denied, 80 far as is
known, sending butter from his farm for
sale in Augusta and Columbia on an ex-
press frank. and having his supplies re-
turned in the same manner. That is also
down against him, to be accounted for this
fall.
Altogether, Capt. Tillman's penchant for
cows is going to prove q source of great an-
noyance to him. and If he is tossed out Of the
governorship. it will be by the COW with
the crumpled horn that gave the milk that
made the butter that went to Augusta on
the express frank.

pisheartened Cotton Planters.

The cotton growers are very much dis
oouraged by the low price Of COTTON, and
many of them are ready to say they will
not cultivate any cotton this year. In let
terS to their factors they give accounts of
a very unhappy condition Of affairs in their
respective localities. They say that bank
ruptcy stares them in the face and that
there is nothing promising in the future.
One cotton grower, writing from Madison
county, Florida, declares that very little
cotton will be produced in that county in
the future. He says that over l 100 farm
laborers have left his immediate vicinity
and that thousands of acres of good land
will not be cultivated this year.
This is only a sample of many letters. It
is apparent, however, that the cotton grow
ers regard the situation as much more Sc
rions than it is. The price of cotton is not
going 20 remain as low as it is at present.
Next season. it is pretty safe to predict, it
will be higher.
The cotton growers must expect to meet
with misfortune once in while. They are
This is one Of the bad years.
1ne uruup 49, TOO Hucn COULOn Is DelnR pro-
duced. and the low price this year calls at
tention to the over-production in a way that
must be needed. II the cotton growers
this year will plant portion of their land
in food crops and give some attention to
stock they will be in better financial con
dition at the beginning of next year than
they have ever been before. They will not
have to buy food supplies and their cotton
will bring them what cash they need.
1t is clear that they cannot cultivate COT
ton at its present price, because there is no
profit in it, but il they reduce their cotton
acreage one-third, the price next season
will be satisfactory. They should not re-
gard the present condition of affairs as
destroying all hope CT future prosperity.
That would be great mistake. The present
season of gloom will pass away and the cot
tongrowers. IL they will give some atten-
ton to food crops, will become much more
Independent than they have ever been.

The Genuine Bookworrn.

So seldom is a bookworm 70 bs seen that when

charming volume entitled The Enemies of

lilputisn pest. and he speaks intelligently. for

one OF these worms he kept for g period Of
eighteen months, an unusual long time for a
oOokworm TO live outside the covers Of a book,
since. as Mr. Blade truly says when freed from
restraint (Which. indeed to them is life) they
cannot eat, although surrounded with food, for
they have no legs TO keep them steady and their
natural leverage is wanting"
