A STANDARD PLAN

USE AS FUEL.
WANT A GINCH ON EVERYTHING.
VIII Then Be Able to Force the Price
Back to Where It Wants It With
out Composition.

Beaumont Texas, Feb. 1o.--A relia-
BILE producer of oil who controls the
output of four wells on Spindle Top
Heights stated that he stands ready
to contract with any reliable consum-
er or combination of consumers to sell
the output of his four wells for 80
cents barrel during the life of the
wells. 1t looks now like oil viii be
selling at 81 a barrel soon. If 1t does
go to that price the consumers are
going to quit using It for fuel. This,
it is admitted, is exactly what the
Standard Oil company desires If the
consumer can be scared away and
scared so badly that he will not re-
turn to the use of oil, even though
1t fall back to a price at which he can
well afford to use 1t, the Standard Oil
company will have the producers at
its mercy, and oil men know full well
what that means. There is no deny
ing that the Standard Oil company
makes the price on oil. and 1t is claim
ed by those who should know that
the by-products the Standard gets
from crude oil makes the oil cost the
Standard nothing. Be this as it may,
1t would seem that the proper thing
for the consumer to do is to contract
with producers for the output Of their
wells at the top price they can pay for
crude oil for fuel purposes

Why Not Laurens?

The Charleston Post of last Thursday
advocates the holding Of the Demo
cratic State Convention in 1904 in
GreenVille, Spartanburg or Anderson.
The Post declares that a system by
which the conventions could rotate
from town to town throughout the state
would have a "happy result" in break
ing down petty sectional prejudices,
We heartily agree with The POSTS
view. A State Convention brings to-
gether only about 500 people, iuclud-
ing candidates and ''camp followers"
A town of the size of Laureus could &C.
commodate such a gathering. II not
next year, at some relatively early
date, we hope to zee a s ate Demo
cratic Convention in LaureDs.
