"Another Record Broken"

Is there no breakless record?
And can nobody make
A good. substantial record
Nobody else can break?
Each wear since mans creation,
For glory or for cash,
He hits some previous record
And knocks il all TO smash.
In every field Of action
Man does the best he can
And has his record broken
BY some succeeding man.
His muscles, mind. and money
Exert themselves 10 make
\ record that no other
Competitor can break.
The record is a wonder.
The lates. and the best,
But somehow something HRS It
And breaks Il like the rest.

With no one guaranteeing
\ new one not 10 burst.

Mr.. Foerderer's Successor.

II is semi i-oficiaIly announced that
the Hon. Reuben o. Moon IS TO be the
Republican nominee for Congress in the
Fourth district OF Pennsylvania to sue

Political Gossip
Here and There
Was Colonel Troup a BOlter?

Up In Connecticut they are having a
merry time with Col. Alexander Troup.
the Democratic national committeeman
for the Nutmeg state, who. as a silver
man and follower of Bryan In the dis
astrous campaigns Of 1896 and 1909. has
now taken. occasion TO severely arraign
his former leader for indorsing the
Democratic candidate for Senator IN
Ohio-the Hon. John H Clarke. a Gold
Democrat II is recalled that Colonel
Troup himself has not always been
consistent Democrat, and. in fact. he Is
forced 10 admit that there were a num-
Der of years prior 70 1900 when he did
not affiliate with that party. He was
in the old days a Greenbacker, and did
not rejoin forces with the Democracy
until specie payment was resumed.

Gave State to Republicans.

II is further pointed out that in the
year 1873 Mr. Troup with his seven or
eight paper money men materially aided
In turning the State over to the Re-
publicans. and at one fell swooD de-
prived the Democrats OF governor for
two years, four other State officers for
two years, a Legislature for one year,
United States Senator for six years.
and two Representatives for two years.
What the Democrats lost in that year
by reason OF the course pursued by
Colonel Troup and the men allied with
him. they have never at any tine fully
regained. II IS recalled that when
Colonel Troup did come back into the
Democratic party, he became a candi-
date for Federal appointment at the
hands of Gold Democrat, and was sue
cessful in landing an internal revenus
plum In view OF his record as a bolter,
or in opposition to Democratic candi-
dates. there are some members of his
party in Connecticut who do not believe
that Colonel Troup is entitled TO criticise
the action OF other Democrats in the
matter of supporting candidates or de-
clining TO support them

The Hon. Francis Burton Harrison.
who after a hard fight Won an election

formation of a new organization to be

Democracy will give its support 10 the
Tammany ticket this fall. as it might
be expected 10 do in view Of the fact
that Mr. Harrison. a Tammany man, is
at the head of il. The members Ct the
organization are for the most part DEM

Hall but who are willing 10 support its
candidates against the fusion nominees
Mr. Harrison Is a young man. not yet
thirty years or age. and has a promising
career before him in politics. His dis
trict the Thirteenth New York. was
considered doubtful last fall. but Mr..
Harrison made such an energetic cam

the Republican nominee. by more than
1000 majority.

British Columbi Educator Likes the E, raj

Mr.. Clarence H. Poe has received a let
ter from Mr.. w. F. Best, an educator of
British, Columbia, who writes that he has
seen Mr.. Poe's, article on Rural School
Libraries in the Review of Reviews and
asks for list of books, with prices, as he
wishes to attempt to introduce the idea in

In speaking of the matter Mr.. Poe said
yesterday that this was the first letter he
has received from outside of the United
States asking for information concerning
the rural school library system in this
State, but that from all over the North
and West leading educators had written
him about the system. This goes to
show, he said that now. instead of
adopting The ideas of other sections to adj

sections are DESTROYS to earn more about
our system, which is far better, that they
may improve their own" Mr.. POu has

COTTON GOES HIGHER
Ten and a Half Cents Paid
Here Yesterday.
The Market is Firm and Steady, and The Pros
PEGS are for the Prcs TO
Move Up
Move Up.

1t was ten and "a half cents a pound
for cotton here yesterday that gladdened
the hearts of the cotton planters who
sold on this market.
Steady the price has been pushing up
from nine cents till ten came, then ten
and one-eighth, then the quarter and yes
terday the half mark 1T is surely soon
to go to eleven cents" said a planter
who sold on the market here yesterday.
The shortness of the crop, now acknowl
edged in many quarters is the cause of the
increase, and this has given an advance
to the future market. the New York re-
ports of yesterday showing an advance
of 20 to % points.
The cotton sold here yesterday brought
ten and one-quarter to ten and one-half
the average price being ten and three
eighths. The offerings were very light
there being but 141 bales on the market
year ago yesterday twenty eight bales
were sold here at an ighth to three-six-
teenths below eight cents.
Il think that the market will stand at
the present figure. perhaps slowly advance
for some days. said cotton buyer yes
sell and the crop is evidently a short
one
THE mill men are going to be caught,
said another cotton man. "for they have
but little cottn hand. They must soon
renew their stock if they keep on manu-
featuring, and when they go on the mark
ct as they needs must do, it will push the
price up again. They are in a dilemma,
for they say cotton goods are not advanc-
ing, yet they have to pay more for the
raw material
An incident of the determination of the
farmers TO take not less than ten cents a
pound for their cotton occurred at Holly
Springs some days ago. A farmer came
in with two bales and the price was a six
teenth below ten cents. mo. l will not
take less than ten cents a pound" said
he and drove home five miles with his
cotton. though the difference between the
price offered and ten cents a pound was
but sixty cents. The farmers had de-
termined to hold for ten cents and he
stuck to the agreement.
The market for futures is strongly a
bull market, and with the conditions
as they are now reported the price must
continue to go up, as the consumption Is
put at many thousands bales over that
estimated for the present crop.
