It is estimated that the increase in
the price Of cotton since the market
opened, has added $75, 100000 to the
South. With this large amount Of
capital being distributed among the
farmers Of the South on account Of
realizing from $40 TO $l5 per bale
more for their cotton than for several
years, our people arc ina position TO
very materially assist in the indus
trial progress now going on.

WANTS MONEY DUE US.

Senator Tillman has introduced IN
amendment to the sundry civil ap-
| preparation bill looking to Il settle
nent OF the claim Of South Carolina
against the United States govern
ment.
In his amendment the senator
| leaves blank the sum Of money which
| he considers due TO the state for the
reason that it will require some ex-
pert figuring to determine just what
| chat sum is. His amendment reads
| as follows:
"rhat the sum Of S be arpropri-
atcd 10 pay any balance found due
tho State OF South Carolina on the
claims by that State for money spent
in the war Of 1912 to 1911 and on ac-
| count OF money spent in the Indian
| war Of 1885 to 1887 and 1888; and
the amount due by said State for
bonds thereof held by the secretary
! Of the treasury as custodian OF the
Indian trust fund shall be first paid
by said State out Of said appropri-
alton"
At the time Of and long after the
war Of 1912 was declared South Caro-
lima was destitute Of all means Of
defense, except what she furnished
herself. 1t seems tho United States
were not able to provide the neces-
sary munitions Of war and coast de-
lenses. This being the case South
Carolina took it upon herself, in her
usual patriotic spirit to furnish the
deficiencies and furnished arms and
ammunition, clothing, and appropri-
a!ed large amount for the coast de
Tense at Charleston. At the termi-
nation OF hostilities the State Of
South Carolina put in her claims for
settlement, agreeing to bear Il large
| amount Of the expenses herself, only
making claim for what it was the
duty Of the United States TO furnish.
large amount of these claims were
rejected, amounting to $l05, ,77176,
as they were considered inadvisable
under the rules Of the war depart
ment. Therefore it is argued that
redress can only be had from an act
Ok Congress. Other States had claims
OF similar nature, but they were
more fortunate than South Carolina
in getting 9 settlement, Massachn-
settet and Names claims were paid
amounting to 100000 South Caro-
iina's claims amount including in
terest at & per cent. to $305, 600.
The money the State used in meeting
these demands, was money upon
which she was receiving an annual
interest of II per cent. She, of course,
lost this by interest, and is only
charging the United States 6 per cent.
for the money used. Senator Till
man thinks South Carolina is en-
titled to the same treatment as the
other States holding like claims, and
that settlement should be had and
ho is right. Senator Tillman is n
watchman on the tower ever on tho
alert watching after the interests Of
his State and LIS constituency. We
nope he will succeed in this effort to
secure from the United States Gov
erhment the amount Justly due his
State.

A bill has been prepared by Repre-
sentative Hay, of Virginia, to the
effect that there be created in the
States reserve volunteer army, for
use in time Of war as supplement
to the regular army, should the bill
pass it will virtually make every man
in the country n soldier, at least be-
tween tho ages Of Is and 45 years.
This new army is to be called the
militia, but is to be used in time Of
war without specially volunteering.
1t is proposed to have Congress ap-
propriate $l,000,0C0 annually to
equip and maintain this militia, and
to keep three months supply OF war
material on hand in each State to be
ready for any emergency. 1t is
claimed that we need regular army
of 10000 men to man the sea coast
defenses, police the Indians and keep
order lin the Philippines, and this
organizing Of a militia is no doubt
intended to keep this number ready
for call at less expense than to keep
Il standing army of 10000 men.
The present law, Increasing the
standing army to G5, 900 and author
i%;ng the present volunteer army Of
$1,000, vii! expire July !, and unless
some measure is adopted the stand
ing army will drop back to it's paace
basis of 26,6l0 men.
The bill provides system OF mob
l!Eation for the Guard by dividing
the States into military divisions aud
provides for board Of officers a each
State, who shall hold examinations
for the position OF second lieutenant
in the National GuarJ, such officers
to be prom oted for merit and eff ii
cheney.
Tho tim, has come" said Mr..
Hay, in explanation OF his bill to-day
"when it is necessary to consider
carefully thu question Of the future
military establishment OF the United
States, In the minds of many the
maintenance Of large standing army
seems necessity, and ut first blush
it would seem that there is no other
way out OF the difficulty which now
confronts us. A careful considera-
tion Of the question has led TO the
belief that the situation can be mot
without a resort to that worst enemy
Of Republic, large and permanent
military establishment.
"This country has fought all OF her
wars with citizen soldiery, and no
good reason can be given for depart
ing from that policy. Money spent
for the purpose OF organic ng and
eqnipping the militia Of The States is
money saved, and the sooner this
course is adopted the better it will
be for the country. Heretofore the
militia has not been organized with
II view TO war. The folly, not 10 say
the crime, Of such II policy was dem
oastrated in tho Spanish war. The
time has come when We must solve
the problem Of national defense ard
solve it, if possible, in n way to pre-
vent the creation OF large standing
army. An organized citizen soldiery
in touch with the people and com
posed Of the people does this"
