COTTON DECLINES 81 A BALE
Great Excitement On Change
The Tendency Toward Extreme

New York, March 4 An
avalanche of selling orders swept
over the cotton market today aud
amidst great excitement prices
broke with such violence that for

support checked the tendency to-

record price of 1925 and 10. II

than 25. 600 bales, but flood of
offerings in thousand and FIVE.

current and as the selling pressure
increased prices made violent
plunges downward, 5 points at q

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.

Closing Scenes and Acts of the
Fifty-seventh Congress.

Washington, March 4.-The
house was in session until O5
this morning and then took a re-
cess until ten. The senate sat
until LOS. The fifty seventh con.
gress terminated at noon.
The closing of the house was
marked by remarkable demon
stration by members, Joined by
spectators when the customary vote
of thanks was passed to the retir-
ing Speaker Henderson. Flags
were waved and the applause was
deafening. Henderson made u
short speech of thanks and dsliv-
cred what is considered the most
touching farewell address record
cd. 1t was largely an appeal to
the patriotism of the members
The final scene in the senate
was the valedlctory of Mason of
Illinois, who retired today, which
consisted in n satirical comment
on the "hideuound" customs of
that body.
The naval appropriation bill and
the general deficiency bill, as re.
Iported from late night conferences,
were among the last measures
Ipassed by the house. Cannon
created sensation by delivering
a speech against Legislative blacks
mail. He SAID: "Ihe senate must
be forced to change its methods. /"
The speech was taken to indicate
a coming struggle against mnori-
Ity hold ups. 1t i. regarded as
significant in view of the fact that
Cannon will be the next speaker
of the house.
1t is predicted that the extra
session of the senate will clear the
calendar Of the foreign relations
committee of all business. 1t is
now proposed to consider the Gu
ban and Panama treaties and the
kasson reciprocity t. .eaties; also
several extradltlon treaties with

thirty, which it Is hoped will be

SEMI " EEkLY.
Law or Licensl


is starting a fight for law and or
der in Georgia. The immediate
inspiration Of an editorial under
the caption "Time to Call a
Halt" was the murder of negro
by mob at Griffin, Ga. For an
otfensc committed when he was
drunk the man was punished by
the courts. More than month
after mob went to the negro's
homo and, in cold blood murdered
him.
The Morning News calls upon
the grand jury and the governor
to bring these murderers to JUS
tice. If that is impossible, then
the county and the State should
be made too hot for them TO re.
main within the limits of either,
declares the Savannah paper.
Continuing The Morning News
says: "Public sentiment seems
TO Justify lynch law when the vic
tim of it is guilty of assaulting a
woman, especially when the lynch
ing follows quickly the commits
sion of the crime, but there is no
public sentiment that upholds
such lynching rs that at Grif
fin.
Just here is where public senti-
ment will have to change before
such crimes as that at Griffin can
be prevented. AS The State has
time and again pointed out, rules
to govern mobs are Intellectual If
licensed to lynch for one crime,
the mob cannet be restrained from
lynching for another. Lawless-
ness bcgets lawlessness. Lynch.
ing for the worst of crimes is, un-
der the law, murder. 1t breeds
contempt for the law and lessons
the value Of human life IN the es.
timstion of all participants.
Leading Georgia newspapers
have condoned the most barbar-
GUS methods of putting criminals
to death because Of the tiendish-
ness of the victims crime. When
those who should be the moulders
of public sentiment justify the
reign of passion instead of the
reign of law in some particular
case, how can they hope to con
troll those passions at any time?
The bounds of the law once brok- |
on there is no restrictions to the
Irresponsible and naturally law
less, The methods of the NIB
lower the pablic morals and put u
premium on cowardicc.
Hanging by the sheriff is no
less terrible than hanging by a
gang of men. 10 South Carolina
special terms of court my be had
to try quickly men charged with
criminal assault, and the argu,
ments .gainst such legal trials
have been disposed of by making
provision for the victim testify
ing in private. Under such con-
ditions there is no justification for
lynching. And it might as we'll
be understood that until public
opinion ceases to justify the law
less acts OF mobs in every case,
the country will continue to be
shocked by such utterly unJusti-
fable and cowardly crimes as that
ut Griffin, Ga. and worse. The
State.

Special to News and Courier.

respondent was over at Chester
field Court House yesterday af-
ternoon and saw the following:
J. Near II O'Clock two men, rid
ing in nice carriage, drove
through the main. street, ANNOUNCE
ing US they went that they would
give all entertainment free in
flont of the Court House in the
next fow minutes.
1t was the first Monday in the
month and consequently large
crowd of farmers were in town.
A very large crowd soon crowded
around the carriage and one of
the men got up on the seat and
started his entertainment. He
had some sort of "Punch and
Judy affair, he being ven
triloqui.t. The crowd became
very la, &c in Il few minutes and
! the mans partne: broke in on his
talk and said that he had several
words to say to the crowd.
J He started off by saying that
he represented the Pell Medicine
Company, Of Charleston, and
that he was not patent medicine
drummer and lie detested that
kind of mon. He said that his
object was to give out some sam
Piles of the electric belts that he
had with him, and to get The CON
tidencc of the crowd he was going
to give out two hundred alumi,
mum cuff buttons that were made
from the aluminium gotten frem
kershaw County. He passed
near twenty-five of these buttons
. out, when he made out that he
had hoard some one in the crowd
i say that "if they tried to sell
them they could not, for they were
no COED"
OF course no one had said this,
but this was a way that he wanted
to gain their confidence.
He said, therefore: "Gentle-
men, want to show that scepti-
cal-mlndea man that he does not
know what he is talking about. l
want you TO buy these six pairs
that | have in my hand. | will
make CROSS mark on these cards
and will pass pair by pair to you,
with the amount of money that
you hand me for them, just to
show that sceptlcal. minded man
that you will trust me-"
Well, several of the farmers
standing near quickly handed him
anywhere from twenty five cents
to one dollar. and they were
handed the buttons.
He went on further then to give
away his belts the same way, each
mans money being returned with
the electric belt.
1t would be well to say here
that the sheriff of the county stop.
ped them in order TO collect
peddler's tax, but they said that
they were not selling, but giving
away.
The sheriff was called off to at
tend to some business, the men
still promising to put back in each
package the amount handed them
for tho belt. Tho exchange went
on nicely for several minutes, for
each belt dollar was handed the
man. But it will be remem hered
that the dollar was to be placed
back in tho package with the belt.
In few cases the fakirs did nut
the money back, but when the
farmers had bought a great many,
amounting to near $3.50 worth,
after opening them up-not, how.
