In THE Jefferson County Union last

In THE Jefferson County Union last
week Ex-Gov. Hoard gives strong en-
dorsement of Fl. G. Adams candidacy
for congress in which he says: 1t is ap-
parently beginning to dawn upon the
minds of the people of this congressional
district that they have some duties as
we'll as interest in the matter Of select
ing a man to represent them in congress.
1t has been too much the custom in re-
cent years, especially while the district
has been normally democratic, for the
great majority of republicans to give but
little attention to the selection OF candi-
dates. Large questions of both domeS-
tic and foreign concern are constantly
coming to the front. and we need men of
large understanding with a complete
knowledge of the wants of the people
and ability to impress themselves in
committees and ON the floor on the con-
yictions of their fellow members. The
people of this district should demand
that they be ably represented in con-
gress. Among all the candidates who
are standing for nomination in this dis
trlct there is one man of pre-eminent
ability. We refer to Hon. H. c. Adams
Of Madison. He has been in public life
for years. He has filled the Offices of as
semblyman, superintendent of public
property, dairy and food commissioner,
and in all Of them has served his people
with distinguished ability, He has been
identified with the dairy interests of the
state and nation, first as practical dairy
farmer, and second, as a most able pro-
moter and defender Of wise dairy laws
in both state and nation. He is one of
the most convincing and eloquent speak
ers in the state. His integrity as bus
mess man and particularly in political
matters, has never been questioned. In
short, he is talented, clean and energetic.

Free Art supplement.

One of the particularly distinguishing
features of The Chicago Record Herald
is the series of high class art pictures
given away with its Sunday edition.
Many of these supplements are fac-simile
reproductions of the worlds famous
masterpieces, the originals of which in
many instances have sold at prices rang
ing from $4,000 to $4,000. The best
pictures of well known artists, such as
Ihlfeld Beirney, Vely, Ryson and many
others, have been reproduced so per-
fectly that they excite the admiration
and wonder of all who see them. These
pictures are not only greatly admired
because of their beauty, but many of
them are highly instructive on account
of the subjects they represent. They
are selected with great care, and Record
Herald readers are assured that in this,
as in everything connected with The
Record Herald, they will always get the
best that can be procured.

Collins Case lis Not Yet Settled.

City Attorney Burpee has taken stay
of proceedings in the Collins case for 90
days, and will in all probability take an
appeal to the supreme court. He has
also served notice of relaxation of costs
on the attorneys for Miss Collins, and
will attempt to get the amount of the
costs, taxed after the last trial reduced.
The case in all probability will not get
before the supreme court until some
time next winter or next spring.
This case has been stubbornly CON
tested on the part of the city and has
already had some five or six trials. II
has been before the supreme court three
or four times and has each time been re-
versed and sent back for new trial.
After the last trial in this circuit court,
the judgment of $1,000 awarded by the
jury was reduced by the attorneys for
the plaintiff throwing off 5000. Judge
Dunwiddie made a further reduction
and brought it down to $500. This the
attorneys for the plaintiff were willing to
accept, but the city was not satisfied and
will take another appeal to the supreme
court. The costs of the case already
amount to close onto $500 The case has
now dragged along for several years and
bids fair to 60 over into 1908 before it is
finally settled. gainesville Gazette.

lCQ average.

On July 1st internal revenue taxes
were marked off number of articles,
which will reduce the national income
by about S7OOOO,OOO. This money not
being needed by the Government at
present, has wisely been RENTED to the
people who paid it, thus easing the bur-
den of special taxation, and leaving the
money in the pockets OF those to whom
it belongs. Apart from this, however, it
is a most wonderful thing to do. No
other country in the world ever did or is
likely ever to knock off S7O,OOO,OOO of it's
national income. None of them could do
it, even If they would. The tendency all
over the world, our own country except
ed, is in the other direction. Higher
taxes appears to be the universal law
outside the United States.

IT IS estimated by the Agricultural
Department, after careful investigation,
that in 1850 the time of human labor re-
quired to produce bushel of corn from
first to last was four hours and thirty
four minutes. The time required at
present to produce the same result is Al
minutes. The cost during the same per-
iod of growing bushel of corn has been
reduced from 1914 cents to 1917 cents.
The time and labor required to produce
a bushel of wheat between 1880 and 1896
has been estimated to have been reduc-
ed from three hours and three minutes
to ten minutes, and the labor cost of
growing bushel from tx cents to 3 1-3
cents. These results have been produc-
ed almost wholly through the introduce
ton Of labor saving machinery.

ported as under tobacco cultivation is
considerably smaller than that of 1901.
The average condition of tobacco is one
point below the ten-year average in
Maryland and North Carolina, 2 points
in Kentucky and Pennsylvania, 3 points
in Tennessee and points in Virginia.
On the other hand, Ohio and Wisconsin
show conditions 5 and 10 respectively

They Wilt Be Prosecuted.

The first actual step towards, bring
ing to justice the men who were guilty
of the frauds committed in the recent
primary was taken yesterday. Chair
man J. q. Thayer, in the proper exer-
else of the authority vested in him as
the chairman of the county Demo
cratic executive committee, requested
Solicitor Hildebrand to come to
Charleston to begin an investigation.
Solicitor Hildebrand viii arrive in the
city tomorrow, and Chairman Thayer
will at once place in his hands all tie
afddavits and other damning evidences
of wrong doing which are in the pos
session of his committee. It is believ-
ed that the proofs that fraud was COM
mitted are amply sufficient to warrant
the swearing out of warrants. The
solicitor will be the Judge Of that.
The duty of vindicating the good name
of the people Of the city will rest upon
him, and he can accomplish the task
in but one way-a vigorous prosecu-
tion of all of those whose guilt can be
established. In this work he will be
backed up by public sentiment which
is overwhelming. Prompt and vigor-
Gus action is what is wanted, and it is
believed that Solicitor Hildebrand will
measure up fully to the requirements
of the duties Of his Office and to the high
the expectations Of the public conf
dence that has been reposed in him.

the CUBAN MARKET.
The Island Offers A Big Field for
American Products.

Washington, September 4.-Ameri-
can manufacturers are considering
certain indispensable requirements fol
the capture and retention of the cotton
goods trade in Cuba, according to a
report from Minister Squiers, at Ha-
vana, dated August II, which was
made public at the State department
today. The minister declares that the
American houses should send Spanish
speaking representatives to Cuba to
work up their trade, instead of rely
ing on the export commission houses in
New York to engage business for Them
there. He also points out numbe,
of details in the packing and invoicing
Of goods destined for Cuba, which are
not taken into account in the United
States. The British. says the minis
ter, already have the larger part OF
the Cuban cotton goods trade, with the
United States and Spain as a close
rival for the second place.

HIGH PRICES FOR TOBACCO.
What Tobacco Farmers Are Re-
ceiving for Their Crops.

Every day is good day for tobacco
now, the weed is just rolling in from
every side and day and night the
heavy wagons may be heard rumbling
up the driveways.
The floors were we'll filled today with
very good tobacco, nothing extra, but
what was there sold for fine prices
considering its quality. The highest
average was made by r. Il. Green, of
Pudding Swamp, who got 46 cents all
around.
W. A. Myers, of Willow Creek, sold
SO5 pounds, all grades for an average
of 2l cents clear of all charge. He got
net check for S169. 50.
E. Hutchinson, of Lucille, sold a lot
for an average of 40 cents. He also
sold again today 4S6 pounds at an aver
age of 18 cents.
j. A. Ward sold 1852 pounds at an
average of IA cents.
These are only few of the good
sales made that there have been re-
ported to the Times. Some Of this
tobacco sold as high as so cents, while
some was cheaper. This is By no
means the highest prices reached this
season, the longest pole knocking
down check at 81 cents per hundred.
A. T. Clark, of Black Swamp, was
very much delighted with some fine
prices that he got yesterday, and he
had some very beautiful tobacco.
Farmers everywhere seem to be salts
fed and they seem now to be looking
little doubtful about the prices for
the lower grades holding up, so those
grades are being rushed to market
while the returns are still good.

4 POLITICAL SENSATION.
Rev York Republican Convention
to Oppose Roosevelt.

Washington, September 3.-Senator
Tom Platt's emphatic declaration
that the New York Republican Con-
vention will not endorse President
Roosevelt for denomination is causing
a great deal of comment here. It has
carried Joy into the camp Of the Demo
cratic Congressional campaign COM
mittee, for it is equivalent to a decla-
ration that the leaders of the Republi-
can party are not with President
Roosevelt on the trust question and
that they are ready to throw him over
board rather than allow any harm to
come to the trusts. 1t gives an
other proof of the contention of
the Democratic leaders that the Re-
publican party, as a whole, is in
league with the trusts and that its
policies are dictated and it's leaders
chosen by Wall street.
Senator Platt's declaration, when it
is followed up and made good by the
convention, which he will rule with a
rod of iron, will go far toward still
more clearly marking the line between
the Roosevelt Republicans and the
Anti Roosevelt Republicans The
fight over Cuban reciprocity brought
about the first clear division in the
party on these lines and now the trust
issue bids fair to widen the breech
past all possibility of healing.
There is no doubt that the President
has the great mass of his party with
him. He has them with him on the
Cuban question and on the trust
question, but he is widely separated
from many of the leaders on both
questions. The men who control COM
mittees and organize campaigns, the
men who collect campaign funds and
realize the importance of not offending
the great moneyed interests of the
country, are all dismayed at his, plain
talk about trusts. It is these men who
are represented by Senator Platt, and
whose will the New York Republican
Convention will execute when it re-
fuses to endorse the Republican Presi-
dent.
In this connection an interesting
story has reached Washington through
the channel of a Washington financial
house with Wall street connections.
1t is to the effect that the big men
of the street want to see the Republi-
cans defeated this fall and a Demo
cratic House of Representatives elect
ed.
The argument which the trust mag
mates are-using is that it will be COM
paratiyely easy to prevent any anti
trust legislation during the short ses-
sion of Congress next winter and that
If the present Congress should be fol-
lowed by one in which the Senate is
controlled by the Republicans and the
House of Representatives by the Dem
ocrats they will be absolutely safe from
molestation. They figure that she Re-
publican Senate would insist that the
only way to reach the trusts is by
means Of constitutional Amendments,
and that the Democratic House Of
Representatives, controlled by States
rights theories, would never consent
to the adoption of this method, and
thus they would go free and escape
any adverse legislation whatever

$40 last year. This Mr. Hester says
shows that while the crop was in
excess of last year by 1925 bales the
money value thereof was 1852, 1852 less.
The total spindles in the south are
estimated at 1872, 9s2, an increase

increase of 7,239. Total consumption
of the south 1,937,9 ,971 bales, an in
crease over last year of 317, ,O40.
Mr.. Hester puts the consumption of
American cotton by northern mills
this year at 2, 050, GOO bales, which to-
gether with the l, 937, 971 consumed in
the south makes total for the United
States of 3, ,987, Gil.
The RECEIPTS Of new cotton of the
crop of 1902-03 at delivery ports as es-
timated are 96, 53l against 50, 742 last
