Wednesday, March l3, 1901.

and so confident Is the professor in
their behalf, that he would be willing
to run them up against any three or
four-year old band" and would not be
uneasy about the result. The professor
is with them 10 or Is days in each
month, and has left no stone unturned
to instruct them in the science in which
he is so proficient. The talent of those
composing the membership. backed by
the professors skill on the instruments
in question, has been the factors In at
tanning the results mentioned above.
Several members Of the band have
fine instruments, and predict that the
day Is not far distant when all of them
will have silvered instruments. All
have caps with lantern attachments,
and an effort will soon be made to pro-
cure uniforms. D. A. McNeely Is cap
tain, and c. C. Dargan Is secretary.
This shows what can be accomplished
by those who try, for no one in Lock-
hart would have ventured to make the
assertion that such a splendid organi-
zation as our band is now, would have
been a reality in so short time.

CloTURE IN THE SENATE.

The United States senate is again con-
sidering the advisability Of establishing
a cloture rule. The question was pro-
posed a few days ago; but went over
until the next session, when it will
probably receive serious consideration.
Cloture, it may be proper to say for
the benefit Of those who do not un-
derstand the term, merely means the
shutting off of debate and the forcing
of a vote. The senate has never had
rule of this kind. Members are allow
ed to talk upon all measures to eX-
haustion, when they see proper, and
others are allowed to take up the sub
ject in an indefinite contest against
time. There can be no vote on any
subject without virtually unanimous
consent, so long as a member is physi-
cally able to continue with his talk
Thus a minority has it in its power to
block legislation almost indefinitely.
When the Democrats were in the ma
iority in the senate, they discussed the
adoption of cloture rule; but did not
make the attempt, principally because
they realized the possibility of the
Republicans being able to talk the
proposition to death. Now that the
Republicans are in the majority, they
consider cloture rule very necessary;
but as to whether the Democrats will
allow it's adoption is a question for the
future.
AS a party question. of course the
minority cannot uphold cloture. for clo-
ture limits the power Of the minority;
but as a matter of common sense and
Democratic principle, cloture is right.
Of course, the minority should always
be accorded a patient and respectful
hearing and at length; but the minori-
ty should not be allowed to control the
majority. That is not Democratic.

In letter about Texas, Rev. Sam P.
Jones says:
The question is not how much cotton
Texas can make, but how much cotton
can they pick out. I have Travelled
through Texas from Texarkana to Ell
Paso, from TeXaSline to Galveston, and
I stay within the facts when say that
not one-tenth Of Texas cotton lands
ever had q plow on them. If you Will
furnish Texas with half a million more
plow mules and Negro plowmen they
will and can make in Texas this year
5000, 900 bales Of cotton, weighing 5OO
pounds each. The delta Of the Missis-
sippi in Louisiana and the good cotton
lands of Texas can make $4,000, OOO
bales and not use q pound Of guano.
and with average seasons make pale
to the acre one year with another. AL
ALBANIA, South Carolina and North Car
olina must look to their manufacturing
interests and their farmers to diversi-
fed crops and homemade fertilizers or
go broke in a few years.
All this is true, and those of our peo-
pie who try to look ahead, are making
their arrangements accordingly. 1t
will be sometime before cotton raising
is entirely discontinued in this section;
but we hope it will not be so long be-
fore our people have found some relief
in the raising Of cattle, sheep, hogs,
poultry, hay, etc. There is more wealth
here than has ever been in cotton.

TR0lJBLE IN THE EAST.

Another cloud has arisen in the far
east, or rather the same old cloud Is
showing up in somewhat larger proper
tions.
While the allied powers have been
engaged in keeping control Of the Chi
nese situation, each, incidentally, max
ing all possible arrangements looking
to it's advantage in the event of expect
ed developments, Russia has been es-
pecially active, and has consequently
excited not a little uneasiness.
Russian aggression is In the direc-
ton Of Manchuria, the most northeast
erly province of the Chinese empire,
and bounding Russian territory on the
South. All the while that the powers
have been piddling about Pekin, Rus
sia has been strengthening her position
in Manchuria until she now has the
province pretty tightly by the throat
In answer to inquiries as to her in
tentions, Russia says that she has no
purpose other than that of keeping the
peace: but the other powers, knowing
Russia as they do, are not at all dis
posed to take such an explanation as
being entirely satisfactory.
AS matter of fact, Manchuria may
now be considered as good as Russian
territory, unless there is a war, anu
this is the question that Is being con-
sidered most seriously in all the Euro
mean CAPITALS as we'll as in Washington.
If war does come it will only be the
logical outcome of the original occupa-
ton of China by the powers, and the
division of interests will likely be along
the lines then most apparent. On one
side it will probably be Great Britain
United States, Japan and Germany, ana
on the other Russia and France.

1t was officially announced in Lon

ing is that Botha is about ready to give

Butler enjoyed this and all other sena-
torial perquisites. He was at the Cap
itol on Tuesday, the day after the inau-
guration, and stepped into the crowd
ed elevator with the imperious sugges-
ton that he desired to go down. The
rest Of the party was bound to the top,
but, of course, this made no difference
with the North Carolinian's wishes.
The elevator man, an expert in all
matters appertaining to senate prece-
dents and precedence, glanced up and
a look of scorn fitted across his calm
face. He said not a word, but shut the
gate with q slam and the elevator shot
upward with even more vigor and Viril-
ity than usual. Ex-senator Butler
gasped, started to protest, then shrank
visibly. 1T does make a difference,
he remarked calmly. The King is

THE feat of Senator Carter, in talk
ing the river and harbor bill to death,
is not to be taken purely as unique
exhibition of unselfish patriotism. Oh.
no, there was nothing Of that kind In
it. The senator talked in pursuance OF
a plan, and merely carried out his part.
He was selected for two reasons. First,
because his term expired with the ex-
piration of the session, and second,
because of his ability to carry out the
job-because he could be depended upon
to furnish the necessary wind. 1t was
generally understood that the presi-
dent would veto the bill If it should
pass, and under the circumstances 1t
was much better to throw the respon-
sibility of it's death upon irresponsi-
BILE Carter. BY way of reward Senator
Carter has been appointed a member
of the st. Louis exposition commission.

Accused By a Long Tongued Negro.
Spartanburg Journal, Friday: The
most sensational case of the term of
the court of sessions occupied only a
short while today. This was the case
against Mrs. Matte Thompson for ar
son, she being charged with burning
the barn Of Elijah Watson, near Emo
rec. VIM. MCGOWAN appeared for the
defense The case was commenced at
$50 today and ended at 12.15. Savan-
nah Bobo, a Negro woman with long
tongue, was the main witness, and She
swore such remarkable things that the
officers were angered and disgusted.
Mr.. Watson, whose barn was burned,
knew nothing Of the facts about the
burning. No witness except Savannah
Bobo connected Mrs. Thompson with
the burning. When the testimony was
in Solicitor Sease announced that ow-
ing to the character of the testimony
and the utter absence of tangible facts,
he would not ask for verdict. Judge
Klugh instructed the jury to write a
verdict of not guilty, and said had
they found her guilty he would not
have allowed the verdict to stand on
such viliainous testimony. Mrs.
Thompson appeared with her husband
and without her children, who have
been in jail with her.
