THE POTENTIAL PRESIDENT.

So intent are the two great leading
political parties Of the United States
upon the trying to get their respec-
tive leaders together and unite upon
q man for the presidential nomina-
tion, that these political magnates
seem to have forgotten or ignored
the naming of a man for vice-presi-
dent. In our humble judgment the
choice Of vice-president should be
made with as much caution with
reference to his fitness in all respects
including his political creed as that
of president. The delegates whose
duty it is to adopt platform and
nominate a candidate for president
and vice-president, know that if the
president should die any TINA during
his term Of office, that the vice-presi-
dent would then become president.
1t behooves the delegates to make
the choice Of the two men as nearly
equal in all respects as possible and
practicable. This is duty the con-
ventions of both owe to the country,
to select no man for the vice-presi-
dency who is unworthy to fill that
Of president. The delegates in these
conventions seem to regard the nomi-
nation of president as a second
consideration a mere form, and the
individual so nominated mere
figure head.
AS many as three times, we think,
che party who carried the elections
have had cause to regret their choice
of Tice-president, doubtless there
has been more, but we 60 no further
back than the death Of Abraham Lin
coin.
At this day and time, with the
vast influx Of foreign immigrants, the
life of no president is safe, as the as
sassins Of presidents have been for
eigners with one exception, therefore
with such an experience with vice.
presidents as this country has had to
endure, the choice of vice president
should be made with the same dis
examination as that of president.

A New England manufacturer is
quoted as saying: "The South knows
we'll enough what we propose to do if
she persists in short cotton crops. In
the first place we will stop the machin-
cry in New England and make cotton a
drug on the market. In the second
place, in collusion with Parliament, we
will rear up competitors who will dep i've
the Southern States of their supremacy
as cotton growing areas"
Seems rather queer that any sane per-
son would give voice to such sentiments,
especially so at time when the South is

cotton, even going to India for few
bales, with which to operate upon

THE RUSSIAN-JAPANESE WAR.

The desultory maneuvers move
ments, skirmishes, small fights, Is
minute bombardments, etc. by the
two powers now at war, as reported
by the war correspondents through
the associated press has prevented us
from giving to our readers any def
mite information as to what has oc
Cured since the opening of hostili-
ties. The manner in which this war
has been conducted If we are to
credit the reports we read, we draw
the conclusion that both of the DOW
ers at war have one ear and eve
watching and listening to the others
movements, while with the other ear
and eye they are listening, watching
and waiting to hear and see what
steps other powers are preparing or
proposing to take with view to put
ting an end to the struggle by diplo-
matte interference, recognition or
substantial aid.
Last Mondays State SAYS: A
noteworthy feature Of the present
war in the east is that it has been
conducted largely by the war CORE
spondents. To them has been left
the burden Of blowing up the ships,
of transporting immense bodies of
troops across the Corean frontier, of
fighting the battl> 8, of fcretelling the
plans of campaign-these and many
other performances, usually the por-
tion Of the combatants, have laid
bloody responsibilities upon the heads
OF the devoted correspondents. But
it is left to the scribes to do more
than fight the war; they have deter
mined to end it. A correspondent
has figured from. historical analogy
that a hyphsn furnishes the KEY.
That the custom to designate wars
by hyphenated expressions, thus for
instance the Russo-Japanese war, in
the same manner there was Franco
Prussian, Chiro-Japanese, Austro-
Prussian and Tnrko- Russian war
showed that the first of the Siamese
couplet had lost every time, there
fore as Russia came first In this war.
Russia was bound to lose according
to the historical analogy-so it would |
be folly for Russia to further resist
the Inevitable.

Experiments in the manufacture of
white paper, from the stalks Of the cot
ton plant, have successfully demonstrated
that better quality of paper can be pro-
duced from them than from wood pulp,
and at considerable less cost. This looks
like the most feasible method of dispos-
ing of the much dreaded boil weevil
Especialiy docs it look 80 when combined
with the tempting offer that is being ad-
dressed to the cotton growers in this
State by Biologist Gerald McCarty, in
which he agrees to find sale in North
ern markets, at IL TO 20 cents per pound,
for all the cotton root bark that is cent
to him. Surely, with the profitable dis
position Of every particle of every season g

adds new laurels TO his crown at every
turn, and If the present additional de-
mands upon him are maintained. who
knows but that the whole order of cotton
picking may not be revolutionizsd? I?
Who can doubt tbs possibility that the
planter will begin at the roots when
gathering his future cotton crop?
Stranger things things this have already
been witnessed in connection with the
cotton plant. Excelsior.

GIGANTIC SCHEME TO DEFEAT
THE BEAR SPECTATORS,

In this issue Of THE TIMES we
print an extract from the Manufac-
lures Record, and though it may
seem long to some of our readers We
hope all lovers of fair play and the
friends of legitimate deals in cotton
will read and study it.
The South since the opening Of the
New York Cotton Exchange has been
in the hands of the cotton market
Bears and her commercial enemies.
The Bear speculator, controlled by
English cotton mills. have hammered
the price Of cotton consequently the
price of farm lands) down to the bare
point of existence for the farmer.
The Bear game heretofore has been
to hammer rthe price Of cotton until
all the cotton was out Of the hands
OF the farmer and then turn Bull and
force up the speculative market, and
consequently put up the price Of
of cotton goods.
D.. J, Sully & Co. began early in
the season to Bull the market and as
result the farmer got fair price
for his cotton and all over the town and
county can be seen the new life given
to the people by hearing the ring OF
| silver in their pockets. There is
hardly q settlement in which the saw
and hammer are not at work and
everybody seems to have taken on
new life. But the Bears growl at
such prosperity and the decree went
forth that it should not happen again.
Sully was the cause, and with him
out of tho way the old game could 20
merrily on again. They went gun
ming and got the leader, but have not
counted on the "reserve force" Of the
South, so little understood by out
siders, and power which has never
yet failed when put in motion. Why
can't the farmer do for the Bears
what they did for the bagging trust
in 1SS8-S9? Why can't they put Sully
on his feet again? II Mr.. Sally OF
the Manufacturer Record would
