KING COTTON.

The cotton crop Of the south, the
way it is going now, will soon make
of the south so dominant a factor that
the democratic party will have to take
its old place and be srhiiect to the
dictates of the democrats of that sec
ton. The exports of cotton for the
past year have averaged a trihe over
81. 600, 600 day, the total being 1850,
405, 7O7. Think of half dozen states
that have steady income OF s., 00O,-
600 q day from one crop. That was
the raw product except $40, GOO, COY
which went part in manufactured
goods and the rest in cottonseed oil,
oil cake, etc., This puts cotton the
foremost OF all the products of the
country. 1t beats all preceding rec
ords in value this year, though not
in quantity Then the textile manu-
factures are catching up with the raw
product. The increase in the number
of mills the first half of this year was
143, of which Jhirty-four We're IN
North Carolina, twentv-nine in Geor-
gia, twenty-six in South Carolina and
eighteen in Alabama. And this gain
was in spite of the interruption Of the
Chinese trade in cheap cottoon goods.
Another curious fact about this is
that as the south is gaining swiftly in
the production Of the coarser and
cheaper goods, the shrewd, New
Englanders, with their northern mills,
are going more and more into the
finer grades of manufacture. That IS
one beautiful feature of New Eng
land. Her idea of competition is to
have the advantage in the beginning
by producing a finer article. She used
to make cheap cotton godos, but when
the south began to encroach upon
that, then she set the pace to make
finer goods than the south could reach
up to for a good while to come. The
way the Americans fight competition
is the way they fight battles, their idea
being to have the best weapons and to
shoot quickest.-Salt Lake Tribune.

PENSIONERS SELDOM DIE.
Number increased During Past
Year.

Washington. Aug. 1S.-H. Clay
Evans, commissioner of pensions, has
prepared a statement showing in part
the operations of the pension bureau
during the last fiscal year, as com
pared with former years. Most of the
data will be embodied in his annual
report and the statement is prepared
for the use of the national encamp-
ment of the 6. \. R., which will be
held before the report is ready.
It shows that the number of pension
ers on the rolls June 80, 1901, was 997, :
735. net gain of 1906 over last year.
The total net loss to the roll during
the year was 43, $50, which includes
80, 153 by death, S53 by remarriage,
1,5S2 by minors reaching the age of l6,
15S By failure to claim pension and
1, 460 from other causes.
4 comparative table shows that the
roll for the year just closed is the
high water mark in the history OF
the pension bureau, the next highest
having been reached in 1898. Of the
gains to the rolls during the year,
8, $40 were from the war with Spain.
The losses included two from the
Revolution, 2l5 from the War of 1872.
S26 from the War with Mexico, and
544 from the Indian wars. The gains
to the roll since 1893 were Il, 334 wild
ows of the War Between the States,
and 1904 from the Spanish war, total
Is, 93S. The net gain to the rolls in
the four years was 4,02l.

Is it superauous /?

Thomas Carlyle, an almost lifelong
dyspeptic. who called his stomach "a
diabolical apparatus might have
obtained relief had be lived in these
days Of up-to-date surgery. He could
have had his stoamach removed, it
is claimed, without detriment, and,
If we are to credit some expert testi-
mony, improved his health and tenn
per. He might, however, have lost his
peculiar genius, which apparently took
shape from his rebellious gastric re-
gion. And now comes New York
surgeon who thinks the life Of the
Empress Dowager Of Gern1ny might
have been saved had she permitted the
surgeons to remove her stomach when
the nature of her disease was ascer-
tained. The surgeon admits that the
stomach is very important organ,
but not vital one, and claims that
it can be removed without endanger-
ing or shortening life, provided the pa
tient accepts the limitations imposed
and governs his diet and habits Of
eating accordingly.
AS there are some doubters on this
subject, the case is given Of one Carl
Kruger, of Chicago, whose stomach
was removed some months ago. At
the time Of the operation, he weighed
SO pounds, For time he was careful
about diet. but we are informed that
now he eats three meals daily, weighs
l60 pounds, is still fattening, works
in his garden, and is much better
off without his troublesome stomach.
It is no doubt better, much better,
for a man to possess stomach, if it
be sound one; but no stomach at all
appears to be preferable to the dia-
bolical apparatus. If you have a
good stomach, be thankful and keep
it benignly If you have dangerous
stomach, the surgeon may relieve you

The STEEL WORKERS STRIKE.
The Monessen Mill is Now 0pe-
rated in Part.

Pittsburg. Aug. 19.-The United
States Steel corporation made a series
of gains today in the restoration of
properties crippled by the strike of
the Amalgamated association and its
sympathizers.
The steel mills at Monessen, after a
long period of inactivity, were partly
put in motion by strike breakers gath
cred in some of the southern States,
two more mills in the Painter plant
were also started up and another large
mill at the Clark property was also
operated for the first time.
There was some disorder in the
streets of Monessen during the day.
but the local police never lost control
of the demonstrative crowds and there
was no serious trouble. The reopen
ing of the Monessen mills believed
to be the first of series of aggressive
moves on the part of the steel corpora
tion.
Preparations are known to be in
progress for reopening the Star tin
mills in this city and for increasing
the force at the Lindsay and McCutch-
con mills, and it is thought to be
only matter of time before the
strongholds of the strikers like New
Castle, McKeesport Wheeling, Bel
laire and Mingo Junction will be
invaded.
The strikers deny that any real
progress has been made either at Mon
essen or Painters and say that they
are not to be frightened by the burn
ing of lot Of coal and the mere opera
tions of machinery.
The greatest fight in this district
is for mastery at the Duquesne mills
of the Carnegie company. Both sides
are working secretly, the Amalgam-
ated association to extend its organiza-
tion and strength among the workers
and the Steel company to block any
plan to get the men out. Neither side
has shown its strength yet and it is
impossible to get any line on the ulti-
mate result.

The Crime Which Makes South

Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Florence, Aug. IA warrant
sworn out by Mr.. 4. J. Lynch, of
Efingham township, before Judge
Smith this morning, alleges that Mr..
L. Cook, young white man of the
county, assaulted and attempted
nameless crime upon the person of Mr.
Lynch's daughter, girl about l6
years old.
The alleged assault occurred IA miles
from the city and deputy has gone
to arrest Mr. Cook.
The girl states that Mr. Cook made
improper proposals and threatened
force. She refused and in the strug-
gle that followed her face and arms
were scratched and bruised.
The two were returning from church
in a buggy at night. Making su-
preme effort, the girl states that she
escaped from the buggy and ran into
the woods. The night being dark she
fell into ditch. The alleged assail-
ant did not follow. Relatives found
her half hour afterwards sitting by
the roadside crying as if her heart
would break.

Death, but not Torture.

The burning alive of negro criminals
of certain class has already become
common enough to excite no special
notice or comment. Two we're burned
last week in Georgia and Alabama,
and the incidents were reported and
regarded very much as matters of
course.
The Rome, Ca, Tribune speaks very
strongly on the subject. The people
of the South it says, should stop the
horrible practice, and it adds: "There
is not a community in the South
where any man, or set of men, who if
they chained mad dog or an enraged
bull to a post and burned it alive,
would not be prosecuted. The grand
juries would indict them and the peo-
pie would rise up and condemn them.
The negro raptist is worse than mad
dog. He is killed with little more feel
ing than is a mad dog. But the burn
ing alive of mad dog or rattlesnake
is too cruel to be thought of. An out
cast, british negro is still human
being
Let his crime "mean death" al
ways, the Tribune adds: but, if shoot
ing with guns and pistols is not,
surely hanging is cruel enough. "
Stop the burning alive. 1t is time
for the people Of the South to rise up
and call halt on the horrible prac
tice They must do it or the South
will 60 back into darkness and barbar-
ianism.
It is true, indeed. The fact that it
is necessary to print such protests, and
that they have no effect, shows that
it is time.-News and Courier.

Working for a Pardon.

Yesterday Col. P. H. Nelson, repre-
senting Col ". \. Neal, made an ap-
pointment with the governor for this
morning for the purpose of presenting
to the chief executive the petitions in
behalf of Col. Neal. These petitions
have been gotten up in various por-
tions of the State and are said to be
numerously signed. Yesterday the
governor received additional letters
asking for the pardon of Col. Neal.
Many of these come from men of
prominence in different parts of South
Carolina. 1t is Col. Nelson's pur-
pose to file the petitions and present
to the governor reasons why Col. Neal
should be pardoned. The general pub
lie is watching the outcome of the
matter with much interest.-The

Death From Mosquito Bite.

Habana, Aug. 15.-Chief Surgeon
Hazard announced today that the ex-
periments in the investigation of the
propagation of yellow fever so far as
these involved the mosquito, test, will
be discontinued.
This decision was taken because one
of the non-immunes who was recently
bitten by an infected mosquito died of
yellow fever today. The man was a
Spaniard, desired to become an i'm
mune and therefore allowed himself to
be bitten by an infected mosquito.
Another man who was bitten is also
suffering from a very bad case.
Both were bitten by insects which
had been set apart for the experiments
OF DR.. Caldas, the Brazilian expert,
who has been arranging to demon
strate the alleged efficiency Of serum
as preventative against yellow fever.
According to Major Havard the cases
due to mosquito infection prior to the
latest two, were light; but the mat
ter has assumed more dangerous
form than the first experimnts led the
yellow fever commission to expect.
The experiments of DR.. Caldas have
not begun.

Interview With President Kruger.
He Still Holds Out for Full In
dependence.

London. Aug. 1S.-The Freeman's
Journal of Dublin publishes an inter
view between Mr.. Kruger and William
Redmond in Hilversum, Holland. The
former president of the South African
republic, in expressing gratitude for
Irish support, said he regarded the
Irish as :.brothers in oppression" and
urged the nationalist members OF the
British parliament to continue their
sseforts in the cause of justice and
truth.
When asked concerning the effect
of Lord Kitchener's recent proclamae
ton, and of Mr.. Chamberlain 5
speeches, Mr.. Kruger replied
MY people are not to be frightened
bv such proclamations or speeches,
which will only encourage them to
continue fighting.
..The British have used armed ma
tives against the burghers from the
beginning. but we have not used arm
ed Kafirs. 1t has always been against
our principles to sue the black man
against the white. -
Mr.. Kruger emphatically denied the
existence of Dutch conspiracy
against British influences in South
Africa.
When asked regarding Great Brit
aims promises as to the treatment Of
the Beers after surrender, he said ::
81 know Great Britain's promises.
You in Ireland ought also to know
them. The British promise to lend
us money to put things right. Then.
if it were not repaid, our land would
be taken. They ask US to allow rope
to be put around our necks and to call
that freedom. We should be slaves. -
After expressing his firm conviction
that God, in good time, would give
the Beers deliverance, he remarked:
Gwen now we could rebuild our
country, but to do so we must have
full independence
He emphasized the word "full."
When asked about farm burning
and the concentration camps, he ex-
claimed: "Why do they fight women
and children There are our own men
to fight against. In do not believe
the British people know what is being
done in their names. If they did
know, they would stop it.
Mr.. Kruger said nothing had been
definitely settled on the subject OF a
visit to the United States. According
to Mr.. Redmond, his appearnce bellies
the report that he is breaking down
either mentally or physically.
