Republicanism is more rampant and
universal in Pennsylvania than in any
other state. The pass to which it has
brought things is illustrated by what
is happening in the Luzerne district.
Mr.. Palmer, an able man, ex-attorney
general of the state, is candidate for
denomination. He has made public two
facts-O that he will not buy the
nomination; (2) that before he was
elected the nomination had been going
to the highest bidder, the price ranging
generally from $4,000 to $4,000, while
one palpitating patriot ran the bid up
to $4,000! Nevertheless the G. 0. 2.
assumes to have monopoly on po-
itical virtue. Go to!

If it be true, as reported, that Mr..
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Hon. George Bruce Cortelyou has de-
clared himself against the use of slush
funds in a campaign, then he evidently
has no desire to be chairman of the Re
publican national committee, for such
declaration clearly disqualifies him for
that position. A Republican campaign
without the use of slush funds would
be much like the play of Hamlet minus
the Prince of Denmark. The chances
are ten to one that he never made any
such remark and that if he did some
less fastidious statesman will be chair
man.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Thomas Brown, A Notorious Colored
Man Now in Jail.

Thomas Brown. colored: alias lobe
Brown. a character long familiar in
police circles, is in the Newberry jail
to answer the serious charge Of high
way robbery.
It is alleged that on the night be-
fore the primary election this negro
halted, knocked down, beat, and rob-
bed a travelling salesman, who has
requested his name to be withheld,
who was walking to the Mollohon
mill. It is stated that he was accost-
ed by Brown at the intersection Of
the Mollohon mill road with the
Prosperity road. The negro asked
for dime, and when the unfortunate
man placed his hand in his pocket
for the requested small change he
was jumped upon knocked to the
ground, and robbed of all his personal
possessions, including a watch, mon
ey, scarf pin, and other valuables.
Peculiar circumstances prevented the
facts from becoming known at once,
but it is now understood that the case
against the negro is clear. 1t will
in all probability be brought up at
the next term of the circuit court.

THE COTTON CROP.
Conditions This Year AS Compared
To Provisions Years.

The cotton buyers and Welgners
Of the county are busy and the new
cotton is beginning to pour IN from
all sections. Cotton matured a liz
tie earlier last year than it has done
this season for the reason that 1t
was much dryer at this time last year.
The new cotton bought up to this
time in the town of Newberry, now
ever. amounts to about four hundreo
bales, and the wagons are coming IN
faster and faster.
It IS estimated that the crop IN
the county this year will be between
FIVE and seven per cent better than
last wears yield. The cotton IN the
sandy land has been injured IN many
instances by rust but the farmers say
that most of the rusted cotton has
fully matured, so the loss from that
cause will not be heavy. There has
also teen some deterioration in the
rank cotton.
The total number OF bales bought
in Newberry county, Whltmlre eN~
cepted, for the year ending Septem-
Der 1st. 1904, is 32,ooS. For the
year ending September 1908, the
number was 5000.
