.OFFICEHOLOERS BLED BY G. 0. P.
Letters Sent to Government En-
pIoyes in this State---Assess-
ments Run Pretty High, but
Most of Them Paid With
out Protest.

= Conclusive proof is in the hands of
two employees of the government in
South Carolina that the leaders of the
Republican party are threatening
them with dismissal unless they pay
campaign assessments to help out the
cause of the G. o. P. not only i'll
South Carolina but in states where it
is needed.
These employees are under the civil
service rules, but they know that
should they protest they will lose
their positions, and that while they
might carry their protest before the
civil service boaEd in Washington and
win out, the election would be over
by then and Ehey would also have the
undyirg enmity of the lead ders and
bosses. Consequently they have con-
tributed. as have all others who we're
asked, and said nothing.
Some time ago the following letter
was sent large number of federal en-
ployes in this State:
NV Dear ---: Of course you
realize that in order for any of Us to
keep on top in this state the election
of Republican president and Re-
publican house is absolutely necessary.
In order to do this money is neces-
sary, as it will be hard fight. des-
pite the assertions of our campaign
managers. You now occupy the posi-
tion of -, and under the rules of
the service are exempt from contribu-
tions, but in the interest of the party
you might give, say $40, as should the
Democrats get in they would find a
way of getting some Democrat who has
stood successful examination the
place you now hold. The Republi-
cans could also legally file removals
for cause, but as rule they have
found that this is not necessary and
tbat ell have been willing to work
without working hard enough to be
accused of "pernicious political ac-
tivity.'' Yours truly,
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1904-11-09

THE MERCHANT THE SUFFERER.

When the books relating to this sea-
sons cotton crop are closed, it VIII
probably appear that the chief suffer
ers by the slump In the price Of cot
ton are the factors and country mer-
chan's The farmers have sold the
greater part of their cotton or have
drawn GU their factors or country mer-
chants against it for amounts based
on a market value of Z, s or CENTS
a pound There l., of course, great
deal of cotton on the farms but much
of it is there not because 1t is owned
free of incumbrance by the farmers,
but because the country merchant or
the factor who has a lien on it has
been waiting for the price to improve
before ordering it shipped.
That there Is much truth in this view
of the situation is evident from the
diff eulty which the wholesale dealers
are having IN making cole ct1ons
from the merchants
The merchants are calling for more
goods all the time, showing that the
farmers are able to buy literally, but
there isn't prompt response to the de-
mand for the payment of bills due. The
usual reply of the country merchants TO
request for payments of bill long past
due, is that they have plenty of cotton
IN which their ready money is tied VI.
but that they are waiting for a better
price.
No doubt the farmers are holders Of
considerable cotton on which there
are no liens of any kind, and they are
hoping 10 get something out of that
on which there are liens, but If the
price shouldn't advance beyond wha
it is now the chances are it will be
found that the ctIef losers are thos,
who made advance on cot on when tn,
price was somewhere near 10 cents
pound.
In the early part of the season th
impression that the price of cottol
wouldn'G drop below 10 cents poun,
was general.
Indeed, some of those wise men VIII
take it upon themselves to advIc
farmers when to hold and when t
sell their cotton, were absolutely sur
at the price of cotton would neye
again drop below cents pound.
they can be convinced of anythin,
they are probably now willing {
admit that they knew nothing of til
subject of which they wrote so gl1bly
and with such show of confidence
and that to say in the early part
/ September what the price of cotto
will be IN the latter part of Decembe
is very difficult thing to do. savar

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overccmes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its Won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

 Old show-goers who recall the paimy days Of George Wilson when he was at the height of his minstrel fame, found him the same old George when he came on the stage at the Jacques yesterday. A little older in years, but young as ever in the originality and freshness of his humor. Always unique and individual in his humor, Mir Wilson has preserved his originals ty on the vaudeville stage and he may easily be classed among the best of the monologue stars. He had his au- dienees in roars yesterday with his witty ssallies and quaint sayings, and he received unstinted applause at both performances. AS an accompanying headliner Emil Hoch, Jane Elton and company introduce clever playlet en- titled Mile Ricci." A rather Frenehy atmosphere runs through the story, giving spice to the playlet that makes it very attractive. It got quite as much laughter at yesterdays perform :ances ases4Nilson got and made what may be classed as a. distinct hit. The Faust Trio in ''The Haunted Mili," and Martini and Maximiilian with their novel exposure of magic, mingle dash of novelty with their comedy, and both acts won instant and pronounced favor yesterday, Others who contribute to the show. are. Arthur ,WhitelaW, who has some% 0f.s the cleanest and neatest Irish comedy given here in months. Money and Holbein, Jeane Ardelle and Inez Bayard with their pickaninnies, and the electrograph.

The Method by Which Sound WGvea

 Are Photographed.
 Sound can be photographed by talk ing advantage of the motion produced in. a tuning fork. Sound travels in waves, each corresponding with an os- cillation in the fork, which remains in a state of continuous vibration while the note is sounded.
 To photograph these sound waves small mirror is attached to the end of one of the prongs On this powerful beam of light is projected by a lens, so as to strike it at an angle of forty-five degrees. The light is again reflected from its surface, but in a new direc- tion, and very slight alteration in the position of the mirror makes a large one in the reflected beam.
 To take the photograph the light is turned upon the mirror in a darkened room, and the tuning fork is set in vi bratior, while sensitive plate is rap idly passed in the path of the reflected pencil of light. On development the plate shows sound waves recorded as T wayy line, and each note has it's ghaxacfez sEac cAzExea

" INsoME MINNIE 7

Paula EdWardes, the youngest and one of the most atttac ctiYe of the fem mine stars, who is to appear at Poli's this. evening in "Winsome Winnie,s, the big New York Casino success, is a, New Yorker born and bred, grad uate of the late Augustin Daly's school of comedy and a star who, though young in years, is ripe in the experience which comes from playing in the highest type of musical pieces. She was born on West Thirty-toufIll street, the. site. of the New Drury Lane theaters Her education was re- ceiVed in the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Philadelphia. On her return from school, where her abilities as a mimic had attracted considerable at tention and had been source of en- tertainment to her fellow pupils, she answered Edward Harrigan's adyer- tisement for young girl to play Lit tie Fraud in "Squatter Sovereignty and secured the position. Her first role of prominence was that of the little peasant maid in La Folate" at the Casino, where her dance in wood- en shoes attracted the attention gf managers and critics and established her as q dancing and singing sou brette. She then became a fixture in the various Casino successes, appear ing next in ''EThe Whirl of the Town.'' When: ''The Belle of New York" was written Hugh Morton built the role of Mamie Clancy, the tough girl, es- pecially for Miss Edwardes. With 1.-The Belle of New York" Miss Ed wardes went to London, returning to New York the following August. In the meantime she had MT Daily in London and he decided to give her the role of Carmencita in ''The Run away Girl" so on her arrival in New York he sent her back fo London for two weeks, to see the role, as it was played on the other side. She re- mained with Mir Daly until his death, and his latest plans for Miss Ed wardes included featuring her m one of the Rosina VOkes plays, as. a. cur tain raiser during Miss Rehan's star ring tour. This first aroused Miss Edwardes's ambitions to star, but with Mir Daly's death the texture of her ambitions changed. She played in various reviyals of the Daily success es, the role of Louise, the novel read ing bookkeeper in ''The Great Ruby ill '"The Circus Girl,'' in San Toy" and i'll ",The Geisha.'' Her next role was that of Lady Betty in '"The Show Girl,'' and then came JeI- ly Canvas in "The Defender" When sam s. Shubert decided tG star Miss the play selected was the work of Jakobowski and Paulton, au- thors of "Er1ninie,'' but the piece was so strongly English and Austral- ian in its coloring that it was neces- sary to Americanize it. This work was accomplished by Gustav Ke7Ker. and Frederic Ranken, and the result is charming and artistic vehicle for the little stars talents and personal fly. Prices are 25, %. T5 cents, $1 and S1.50.
