The American Society of Equity of
Indianapolis. has issued a bulletin to
the farmers of the United States de-
manding an increase in the price Of
wheat. arguing that the minimum price
of wheat should be 81 a bushel and
urging the farmers not to sell for
less than ST. The society was organ
lied a year ago, with that city as ma
tional headquarters, to maintain high
er prices for farm products by coop
Grafton of the farmers Of the country.
and this Is the first formal domand
for increase in prices The bulletin
reasons that because of the low Wis
ible supply of wheat and the high
oost of production, owing to high
prices for most other commodities. 81
at Chicago is only an equitable price
for wheat
II may be heresy. but would like to
suggest to the Equity Society that
there is another and easier and 4
more certain way for the farmers to
accomplish the result aimed at. and it.
does not involve the risk and almost
certain failure of attempting to imi-
tate the manufacturing trusts. In the

7 protected by the tariff rates. as are the
manufacturers. The latter can get
together, form a trust and force the
prices as high as the tarir wall at any
time they choose. The farmers can
do no such thing The manufactur
ers have thus forced up the prices
that the farmer must pay for manufac
tured goods an average of about AZ
per cent since the Dingley tarlff bill

articles, such as barb wire, wire nails

Union special of June 13 to Char
lotte Observer: Yesterday morning
the jury in the case of Jacob B. Jeter,
for killing Walter Nixon, on July 23rd,
rendered a verdict of guilty with a re-
commendation Of mercy. This morn
ing, in the case of Brown Rodger, who
killed Rodger FAINT, the jury rendered
verdict Of guilty, and Rodger will be
hanged. This was as clear, clean and
deliberate a case Of murder as was
every brought to trial. The Negro
son of D. B. Fant, county superinten-
dent of education into a Negro wo-
mans house and pulling the door to-,
shot him from the outside through a
space between the door facing and the

that Rodger had that day shot at her

Clifton Mill Stock.
Columbia letter Of Sunday to the

Columbia and nearby towns who in
vested in Clifton mill stock attend
ed the meeting Of the directors in
Spartanburg on Friday night last.
While their losses are great, still they
are in an optimistic mood and feel
that eventually they will come out all
right. There is no disposition to dis
pose Of their stock, and offers for 1t at
amounts greatly below it's value be-
fore the flood are quickly and positive
ly refused. The Clifton mill had
several thousand bales Of cotton
in the warehouses which were not
touched by the floods and it is under
stood that this has been sold for 13
cents. It is thought, too, that out of
the wreckage of the iron work In the
mill a good sum will be realized. A
Columbia dealer has bought the whole
business and will put wrecking crew
to work getting 1t out. The Columbia
stockholders do not seem to be at all
blue over the situation.
