As a rule weather conditions
throughout the Sout;a for the year
haze baen unfavorable fer the pruGuc-
ton OF cotton.
Planting was late, moisture excessive
in the Spring and after termination
the weather continued too cool for nor
NAL growth. Extreme heat followed
and found the paint tender and rank,
which greatly injured it in a large
section Of the cotton belt. Later, about
the middle of October, frost occurred
and as the crop was later, destroyed the
unmatured bolls.
The gathering season has been ex-
eeptionally fine in all sections and the
crop thus far has been secured in good
condition: marketed rapidly, on ac-
count of urgent demand in the interior
from spinners whose mills were closed
for some months, or who carried over
very small stocks into the new cotton
year.

Bloody Story of Benevolent AS
simiiation in the Jolo Islands.

Manila Nov. 24.-Three hundred
Moros are known to have been killed
and many others We're were carried off
dead or wounded as a result of five
days fighting in Jolo between the
American troops, under General Leon
ard Wood, and the insurgents. Maj.
II. L. Scott of the fourteenth cavalry
and five American privates were
wounded.
Gen. Wood landed near Siet lake,
in Jolo, Nov. H. The Moros were soon
located and fighting began immediate
ly and continued until Nov. II.
Maj. Scott has taken Panglima
Hassen, the Moro leader, who has
been made prisoner, to Jolo. While
en- route Hassen asked to be allowed
to see his family.
His appeal was granted and he there
upon led Maj. Scott into an ambus-
cade where the American detachment
was fired upon. Maj. Scott was shot
in both hands. Hassen succeeded in
escaping during the unexpected at
tack but is supposed to have been kill
ed the following day. The fighting
took place in a country covered with
rocks. The Moros we're driven across
the country from Siet lake and the
town which Hassen had made his
headquarters and there it was report
ed the Moros were 1000 strong. The
rebel position was attacked in the
flank by the American loops who oc-
cupied the town and inflicted loss of
50 or more on the Moros. The Moros
went into the swamp out of which
they were driven Nov. 16, leaving 76
dead behind them.
On Nov. II the American forces re-
uewed the attack on the remaining
Moros of whom 40 more were killed.
The rebel forces have been literally
destroyed by these operations and
Gen. Wood says the indications are
that there will be no extension of the
uprisings, which was handled without
! difficulty.
On Nov. Is Gen. Wood started on an
expedition against a body of 2,0OC
Moros, who are in the mountains
back of TabIibi. No news has as yet
been received as to the result of this
movement

A special agent representing the

for the purpose of making a new map

tariff is now in force it is said and
some merchants are in no pleasant
frame of mind over the increase OF
their rates. The rates on many COM

TO PLANT ALFALFA.
Mr.. Lever Helping the Farmers
in the Agricultural Department.

Washington, Nov. 24.-Representa-
tive Lever has received the following
letter from W. J. Spillman, agrosSolo-
gist of the department of agriculture,
which will be read with interest by the
farmers of the cotton States generally
My Dear Nh. Lever: have the
honor to acknowledge RECEIPT of your
favor of November 10, requesting
package of lucerne seed to be sent to
Mr.. N. G. Osteen, Sumter, S. G. l
regret to Say that at this season of
the year our stock of seed is exhaust
ed, but I will put Mr.. Osteen's name
on the list, and if we are able to carry
out our plans for the next year [ shall
be able to furnish him seed for con-
siderable area, and will also direct
one of my assistants to visit his place
in order that we may help him as
much as possible in the preparation
for sowing the seed, and thus ensure
success with. it.
(The progress of the cotton boil
weevil eastward over the cotton belt
renders it certain that within a few
years the whole cotton region is going
to have to battle with this pest. This
facs renders it highly important that
the farmers of the cotton producing
section should devote a large proper
tion Of their land to crops. other than
cotton. It is, therefore, very necessary
that your farmers should experiment
with new crops. I believe that alfalfa
for hay and for hog pasture, sorghum
for fodder and silage, improved varie-
ties of corn for grain, Kafir corn for
grain, Bermuda for pasture, rape for
green feed in winter time, but clover
and hairy vetch and winter grains for
winter pasture, are crops which will
succeed in South Carolina; and it is
of great Importance that they should
be grown in an experimental way by
your farmers. We have planned exten
sive experiments with these crops in
your State for the coming year.
Whether we shall be able to carry
them out will depend, of course, upon
the action of congress during the COM
ing winter. / should like very much
to be able to talk over our plans with
you some time this fall or winter. i

Ne observe that whenever deter

Ne observe that whenever a deter
mined effort is made by the Governor
to enforce the dispensary law in
Charleston, either by increasing the
constabulary and maintaining strict
espionage or by attempting to fcrce the
city authorities to do their duty, those
Charlestoaians who take peculiar
pride In declaring themselves to be
the best people, are much in evi-
dence. They create what is intended
to be a Juror Of indignation, but sue
ceed only in making themselves ridicu-
Ions. They are unseen and unheard as
long as the dive keepers are permitted
TO sell liquor day and night in open
defiance of the state law and in undis-
g1ised contempt of the laws of the
city. There can be no doubt but that
the public sentiment of Charleston is
on the side of the blind tigers, for they
are patronized most liberally and are
not molested by the police, except
semi-occasionally and the fines imposed
are always nominal-much less than
bar keepers had to pay as license in
-dispensary times. Another evi-
sdence of the Charleston sentiment Is
the refusal of the grand iuries to find
true bills against the blind tigers.
even after they have paid licenses to
the city in the form of fines for the
Illegal sale of liquor. In view of ex-
issing conditions Gov. Heyward has
made no mistake in his decision to
make more determined effort to en-
force the law and to use the city's
share Of the dispnesary profits to defray
the extra expense that will be incurred
IN consequence Of the failure, or refusal
sof the city government and the people
of Charleston to respect and enforce
the Law of the State prohibiting the
sale Of liquor, except by dispensaries.

JAB0UR ON THE ROCKS
The Midway Show Man Up Against
It Hard at Dubuque,
Iowa. 49,.

George Jabour, who for two years has
furnished the midway attractions for the
Minneapolis carnival, IS up against it hard
at Dubuque, Iowa. It is the old story of
the open air show and a wet season with
little jangling over contracts to lend
variety and tenseness to the hard luck.
When the rain began coming down, so
did the receipts and bed rock has now
been struck at Dubuque. His attractions
were showing there all last week, but
business was bad and Jabour was unable
to pay off his employees The Assyrians
are In a particularly ugly mood and
threaten to cause trouble. The personal
effects of the performers are tied up in
the various hotels for board bills. Gen.
eral Consul Briggs of the Chicago Great
Western railway, and Attorney Matt CAL
lagher of Minneapolis, are in Dubuque
making arrangements for securing money
from Jabour to the amount of several
thousand dollars, which is due them for
transportation.
How deep in debt Jabour is cannot be
learned. He does not know himself. He
still has twenty or thirty employees with
him and several Of them he owes as much
as $500. At one time he owed the Great
Western between $4,000 and $4,000, but
much of this has been paid. Jabour's be-
longings are at Nutwood park in charge
Of the sheriff
1t is the purpose of Jabour to reorganize
the show. He will remain in Dubuque
this week and hopes to secure sufficient
money from the east to put him on his
feet. He says he has dropped $40, 900 this

COLES NEW SHOW
Reformed Missouri Bandits Will

How the Former Outlaw Respects
Promise Not to Exhibit
Himself.

Having about finished the season with
his wild west show at which he did not
exhibit himself for pay" Cole Younger
Is now announced to travel thru the win
ter with stage show bearing the title
Reformed Missouri Bandits" When
Younger identified himself with a wild
west show soon after his pardon the Min
nesota authorities felt mildly scandalized
for they had exacted promise from the
famous bandit that if pardoned he would
not exhibit himself. Younger appears to
have kept this promise in literal sense
by merely taking charge Of the business
end OF the show and not appearing as one
Of the attractions. Nevertheless, the fact
that 1t was Cole Younger's show was
enough OF card, especially as most of it's
patrons incidentally had an opportunity
to see the former outlaw
II the Minnesota authorities regarded
this wild west connection as virtual
evasion of Younger's agreement they will
fell that Reformed Missouri Bandits" Is
| an even closer approach to direct VIOLA
| t1on OF the promise. For the play not only
uses the personal notoriety of Younger
| as strong asset but gives prominence
| to the criminal aspect of his career. It Is
| not imagined that the reformed bandit
| Will actually appear on the stage in the
guise of penitent and contrite robber
| for he appears to have been desirous Of
| living up to the letter of his promise. But
even if he should don high boots and
| long guns and tread the boards the Min
| nesota government could do nothing tc
prevent 1T. However, those who attend
| the performance will be we'll enough sat
Isfied If they can say that they handed
their tickets to Cole Younger at the door
| According to present plans the Re-
formed Bandits will open their season IN

SNYDER FOR THE BENCH
He's Regarded as a Possibility for
Judicial Honors.

Members of the bar are discussing Fred
B. Snyder as a possible candidate for dis
trict Judge next year. The former senator
has been mentioned for congress, but has
absolutely declined to allow the use Of his
name for that nomination. OF late there
has been considerable discussion Of avail
able judgeship timber and Mr.. Snyder's
name has been drawn in. He has not
said whether he will become candidate
or not, but the bench is believed to be
more in line with his tastes than a leg
islative or executive position.
1t is taken for granted that Judges Har-
rison and Cray will both be candidates for
republican nominations. There are two
other places to fill. and by the time the
campaign is on there will probably be
half dozen other candidates. Judge An
drew Holt of the municipal court will be
ir the race, and will be hard to beat under
the primary election law. w. T. Coe and
Charles E. Bond are likely to become
candidates.
Considerable interest attaches to the
judgeship- campaign, as Judges Brooks
and Pond will come up on the democratic
ticket for reelection, and one or both of
them may win out on account of their
popularity and the sentiment in favor of
a non partizan judiciary. Judge Brooks
is especially strong with the bar.

NOT LIKE AMERICA
Emil G. Roenisch Visits His Father

Germany Good Country for the
Rich-Getting Worse for IL
the Poor.

Germany Is a picturesque country, and
I have a certain affection for my father
land, but am mighty glad I came away
from there when 1 did-twe pty- seven
years ago." said Emil C;I, Roenisch,: this
morning. ..2...
Mr. and Mrs. Roenisch have just re-.
turned from tour Of Germany and
Switzerland, in which Mr.. Roenisch visited
many once familiar places in his native
land, the village in which he was born
among them.
Its a. fine place for the rich, is Ger
many, but a poor place for the poor"
added Mr.. Roenisch. People who were
people who were poor fifty years ago are
just as bad off now. There is no chance
to rise in Germany, at least no chance In
comparison to what is offered here.
Zone thing notice above others is the
great change in the condition of the work.
ing people of the cities and villages.
When left Germany, a boy of A. the
textile workers and people Of that class
were doing their work at home and be-
sides being able to make a little money,
were living in a healthy atmosphere.
Now they are herded into factories which
are little better than sweatshops and in
addition to being able to earn only just
about enough to get along with, are COM
PEELED to live under conditions which are
certainly not so good for the people or for
the nation as they were in the days when
every worker had his factory in his home.
There are no young men In sight in
Germany, and in a way it IS a good thing.
for you don't see the street corners crowd
ed with young loafers who smoke cigar
cites and ogle the girls. They are all in
the army, the young men are, and If you
want to see them you must go to the bar
racks or drill grounds.
But while it is a good thing to rid the
streets Of the loafer, the German system OF
caring for the young men does not give
them much chance to get ahead. The
poor boy goes to school until he Is a.
and then his parents apprentice him to q
trade and he works at that for his board
until he is about IS. Then it is the army
for two or three years, and after that he
| is ready to start out in life.
aside from getting older, the people
back near Dresden whom L knew as boy
are in just the same condition they were
when I left there. Germany is a pretty
country which is kept up largely for the
benefit of the American tourist, but am
glad am back here and am more glao
that T came here when I did,

WHERE MOSES WAS
Hennepin and Lyndale Avenues

Hennepin and Lyndale avenues will no

park board and are likely to remain dark

mined whether the city council or the
park board Is in control of the streets.
Hennepin avenue, from Lowry hill to
Thirty first street, and Lyndale avenue
from Western avenue to Twenty-ninth
avenues N, are supposed to be boulevards,
but the courts have regarded them as
ordinary highways, and in consequence OF
this, the park board decided last night to
relinquish its privilege of lighting these
streets.

the Trades and Labor Council to use Lo-
ring park for the Labor Day exercises.
