TEE PRICE OF COTTON.
About Planting Time It is Pushed
Up to Fool the Farmer.

as usual about planting time the
price of cotton is pushed away up out
sight, so as the farmers will be fooled
into planting big crop and keep
prices down next Fall. A dispatch
from New York says the weekly fig
ures made up Saturday disclose posi-
tion of exceptional strength and point
to much higher prices in the immed,-
ate future.
The dispatch goes on to say that
the worlds visible supply Of American
cotton shows a decrease for the week
of $4,000 bales and is now only 1S0,-
900 bales greater than two years ago.
when cotton went to ten and eleven
cents per pound and was practically
unobtaina BILE at the end Of the season.
Of this visible supply there is in Amer
ca at the ports and interior towns
176.O00 bales less than last year and
$50. 900 bales less than in the memor-
able bull year Of 1900.
The quantity Of cotton brought into
sight for the week is only $4,000
bales. which is the smallest on record
for the corresponding week of any sea-
son in which the crop exceeded 9,0G0.-
600 bales. We have consumed ap-
proyimately $4,000 bales more than
last year, Japan alone having
taken 1l5, 900 bales against only 5000
last year. In every direction the de-
mand seems to be expanding and the
supply decreasing. The average
weight of bales is six pounds less than
last year, which is equivalent to d re-
duction of 120.O bales in the supply.
The cotton trade Of the world seems
upon the eve Of recognizing the extra
ordinary situation and a very sharp
advance in the market appears imni-
nent. It is certain to ccne promptly
if those who hold the small remnant
OF this years crop decline to sell except
at its fair value. 1t is worth. in view
of the situation disclosed, certainly
nine cents, and will probably COM
mand ten cents before the end OF the
season. 1t is only through a very
sharp and immediate advance that an
absolute cotton famine in America can
be aYerted.

"TILLMAN rs A POWER
That Is What Savannah Paper Says
About Hin.

The Columbus EnQuirer-Sun said
recently. Senator Tillman continues
to attract attention. However. this
so far is about al he has done" The
Savannah Press replies: The En-
uuirer-Sun is mistaken. In spite Of
his r0ughneSS Senator Iillman is one
OF the most influential men in the up
per House. Some Of his utteranceS
jar the Senators and many Of his re-
torts are far from courteous. Bat
with all that. Senator Til!man is
power. His pitchfor:l is feared by
the members. He has done more for
South Carolina, measured by practi-
Cal results. than any man who las
been in Congress since the war. It is
strange that such tactics should win
especially in a body incrusted with
traditions and hampered by rigid
etiquette. But sometimes man is
needed to break through these rules
ruthleSsly. Ben Tillman is reform
er. some say a fanatic, but when he
rises he generally says something.
He acts and expresses himself with
energy and when ne goes to the de-
partments in quest Of a naval dock or
a postotfice he usually gets what he
wants. Charleston has secured,
through Senator Tillman, some fat
appropriations, and South Carolina
occupies larger place in the public
eye than she has in many years. Some
Of her people are shocked by the as
parities Of the case. Tillman is not
polished or always parliamentary.
There are times when the English
language fails him in giving express
sion to his vehement ideas. But he
generally has message and he is not
afraid to say it. Tillman- is like Sam
Jones. He is a man Of flesh and blood,
and is as fearless as S"vanarola and as
rigid as Martin Luthti. He does not
frame his thoughts with Il view Of
pulling appropriations from the pub
lie crib. but he gets them because he
is not crjnging or truculent. He
makes ducks and brakes OF the Senate
traditions, and when he rises the Gus
toms of a hundred years crash like
glass windows after a dynamite ex-
plosion. But South Carolina can get
more with Tillman in the Senate than
with the regulation article usually
sent there. who is snufTed out by the
weight Of Senatorial courtesy. There
is an Ellenton riot every time he ar
raignS Republican tactics.

A Safe Robbed.

Mr.. S. J. Taylor'S store, at Greeley
vile. in Williamsburg county, was
robbed by burglars early Wednesday
morning and the iron safe rifed of
500 in cash and a lot Of valuable
papers. The circumstances Of the
robbery are as follows: About o'clock
4. N. the town was aroused froE
slumber by loud explosion, which
sounded in the direction of Mr..
Taylor's mill. Thinking that the
noise proceeded from bursting boiler
a crowd quickly gathered at the mill.
Finding nothing wrong there they
went over to Mr.. Taylors store, which
is nearby, and discovered that it had
been broken into. The building was
filed with smoke and the safe door
hung open. To get into the safe the
handle was knocked off the door and
the socket filled with gunpowder and
ignited by fuse. About half hour
had elapsed before Mr.. Taylor got to
the store and the robbers had time
to escape. The money stolen consist
ed Of 400 silver, $50 gold and 120
greenbacks Of 5, 10 and 20 denomina-
tinnc

The augusta Herald Says Warren

The Augusta Herald publishes a
sensational story about Barlow War

Herald:

morning, shortly after the two or
three stores Of the place had Deen
opened the people collected around
them noticed man coming up the
railroad track rather shabbily dressed
and with a brace Of pistols buckled ON
the outside of his coat. When the
man got near enough to be recognized
and his back was seen it was noticed
that he had piece Of paper pinned
On his back on which was written:

many people around Yemassee. and it
said he knows the woods and SWSmps+
in that part Of the country as well as
he does the home in which he was
raised. Very unconcernedly he
walked directly to the store Of Mr.
Pinckney, on the right side Of the.
railroad going down, went in and
stood against the counter for a short
time with a hand on each of the. pis-
tolls while standing in the store, talked
with the proprietor for a few minutes
and then went away. The reward Of

must be taken and turned over to the
state alive and knowing the desperate
character of the man no one seemed
to care to run the risk Of being killed
for the sake of the reward, and it is

All Fowls Go Free.

The free conference committee CT
the Senate and House to which had
been referred the bin to make domes-
tic fowls subject to the general stock
law, reported that they had agreed to
change the words domestic fowls to
turkeys. geese, ducks and guineas. >
This, il will be seen, left chickens out
Of the operation Of the bill. There
was some discussion over the commit
tees report, and finally the report
was rejected. This kills the whole
bill, and ali kinds Of fowls will go free
as heretofore.

For this I know by sound and sight,
And. knowing. never fear.

He whispers in the rusthng grain
Yet say they, Death is duIno.
His ewes gaze down. TWO pitylns stars
Into mine own upralSed;

The wood-bird stops, amazed.
And when 4 gauzy mist uplifts
Betwixt the earth and moon,
His own loved form the rapor riffs.
And comes whisper: Soon.

Till deaths dissOlyent wine
Shall free my soul to join its mate
Beyond life's thin skyline.

WINTHROP COLLEGE.

The next matter taken up was the
proposed appropriation for Winthrop,
which the committee had put at sixty
thousand dollars.

make speech on this matter as the
house seemed bent on giving the col
iegeS every cent they asked for.
Mr.. Noses read report from the
Winthrop authorities showing Why
they asked for an increased approprla-
tion and what they proposed to do
with the money.
The salaries there are lower. said
Mr.. Moses. than in any other institu-
Cion in the State. The expense there
per capita is lower than at any other
State institution.

original trustees Of Winthrop, said he

jected.
Mr.. Mcleod Of Sumter made a tell
ing speech against the committees
recommendation. He declared that
the figures quoted by Mr.. Moses
should have been put in the possession
of the house in the way Of a financial
report from the college He thinks
that the ways and means committee
takes too much from the college on
faith, and the house takes too much
from the committee on faith. He be-
lieves in the higest and best education
which can be offered, and is as loyal to
the colleges as any other member, but
he would not agree to give any OF the
colleges more than they had received
last year.
