To Do Away with Key Sockets.
a device has been brought out intend
ed to do away with the use OF key
sockets in incandescent lamps, by
means of which the lamp is lighted or
Sextinguished by simply pulling the sus-
pending cord. The difficulty of turning

GAIL this is based upon the idea
of all the conditions of crop and

good the coming year as they
have been the year we are just
leaving, and which was the best
for thirty years after the plant
had fairly started. The crop of

"Assume then, that this growing
crop will be 10 per cent lower in

have still further shortage OF

reduced crop of 100000 bale

~ affampts at cheers for Shep:

pard. Sheppard praised Judge
Presley, who had decided as many
cases as any Judge in South Caro-
lima, but few were appealed and
fewer were the appeals sustained.
The result of all this was to dis
courage development and capital.
He had been informed that one
bank in Charleston paid out
$15O,Ooo to its stockholders to
prevent unequal taxation. He
believed this trne. >All property
should be taxed on the same
basis.
A man tried to ask question
and Sheppard said that if his
tongue was not so thick he could
hear him better.
Voice: @Rudolpb siegling and
the News and Courier hired him."
Sheppard got to talking about
railroad magnate Robinson.[ The
crowd asked if he was the circus
man. Sheppard replied that II
a circus man came along he would
take the speaker along as aclown.l
Robinson was asked to build 9
road in South Carolina and replied
that South Carolina did not Offer
sufficient inducemnts for capital
| IHes would like to see the road
built but would not put the one
cent in it. al man in the crowd
put the pertient query, aDoes
Robinson read the News ane
Courier?"
Voice: "How about Bonham?'
shepp ard: @The State neve
! lost . cent by Bonham; every
cent was paid within thirty day
of tho time it was discovered to b
dne."
When Sheppard said $36,0o'
more taxes was paidllast We a
than before, the crowd got mp
big hubhub of shouts for Tillmal
and Sheppard.
Sheppard said Tillman got hi
information abut Coosaw from
. Connor.
Voice: "Tillman was the onl,
man who ever had grit enough t
attack Coosaw."
Sheppard delivered a brillian
eulogy on glorious James Connol
whom all Charlestonians love an

allthe people were interested: The

ton resulted in the impairment

South Carolina.
He galloped over the bond route,
claiming that Tillman was re-
sponsible for the. falling off of
price. 1t is a nice position for the
State to be in litigation with its
psople. The administration say
that the State is on the defensive,
and not responsible for the litiga-
ton. The party who provokes
litigation is responsible for it
The administration was the as
sailant in this case. That's what
the cour- says by granting the
corporations the relief for which
they went into court. The clock
struck s and sheppsrd paused,
and the crowd hurrahed for Shep-

FACTS AND FIGURES.
Mr. s. M. Inman Talks to a Consti-
tuition Representative,

There is such q lively interest
m anifested in the possibilities o
the cotton crop that the
Constitution has made an effort
to obtain conservative estimate
based upon the undoubted facts
Of the situation. A Constitution
man called on Mr.. S. M. Inman
yesterday, and after a full dis
cussion of existing and probable
conditions, thatwell-known cotton
expert said:
aThe growing crop Of cotton
has reached a point at which we
can begin to arrive at some data
which are reasonably correct.
aFirst, the falling off in the
use of fertilizers of 100000 tons
makes a certain decrease from
the past crop on This score of
250,000 bales.
"second, the inundation of
from 100000 to 100000 acres of
cotton lands in the Mississippi
valley at this late date, makes
almost certain a loss of 25O,0OO
bales, as compared with last
year.
"Third, should it be settled
that there is a decrease in acreage
of 12 per cent, as compared with
last year, this will create q
shortage of 100000 bales, as in
many cases the land changed
from cotton to corn, is the best
land and the average land.
abandoned for cotton it is said
represents an average productive
ness.
"Thus it appears as an almost
positive fact that the crop now
growing will be easily 100000
bales short of the crop we have
just gathered.
"Thus far, we feel pretty safe
in our position, but there are
possibilities and even probabilities
which / mention, that ma
