From what VIC can learn by reading
our State exchanges the labor problem
is the most serious one that the land
owners and farmers Of South CarOliua
have confronting them this year.
With sufficient supply Of reliable
labor the farmers Of the State should
be able this year to make big crop
of cotton aud all tho provisions they
need. Prosperity seems to be within
their grasp, but if they cannot secure
labor to work their farms they will be
unable to take advantage of tho golden
opportunity that is now almost within
their reach.

A marked decrease in the number
Of lynohings in tho United States is
noticeable. Whereas ten years ago
there were something like two hun
dred lynohings per annum in this
country, there are now on al average
less than one hundred. The past year
shows less number than any Of its
recent predecessors. Northern jour.
nails comment upon these facts and
endeavor to explain them according
to ideas that best suit their conten-
tions in the matter. Invariably they
fail to take into account the main
fact-the marked decrease in the
crimes that call for lynohing. After
all, that is the main thing to be look
ing after, for if the crimes that call
for lynching decrease, tho lynching
will surely decrease, while it is q very
debatable question as to whether the
lYnching evil can be controlled so long
as these crimes are committed. The
people who rejoice over the decline of
lynching do not all live in the North.
The Southern people are just as anx-
ious to wipe out all efforts at lawless-
ness as any people in the country.
At the same time they know that the
situation would be greatly relieved
and the lynching evil eradicated much
more speedily if the people Of the
North instead of wasting their time
denouncing lynohings would turn their
guns on the crimes that cause these,
lynehings. There is too much about
the mob and too little about the crimes
that cause the mob.

a LONG FIGHT ENDED.

1t is said by those who have been
around the House for years that never
have there been so many lobbyists as
graced the capitols halls this year.
Not only have attorneys and represen-
tatives of railroads, cotton mills and
other concerns appeared before the
committee, which Ia legitimate, proper
and necessary-but agents of corpora
tions and special interests have been
exceedingly busy buttonholing the
members. Represe9tatiyes of the
company, and the dispensary have
been particularly conspicuous. AS
matter OF fact, 1t is safe to say that
two Of these three concerns South

That Maxwell Meeting.
Much Hot Air and Many Voters Made
 for Mark Smith.

The much heraldeG Maxwell meeting was pulled off at Armory Hall Thurs day night to large crowd of ladies, prominent Democrats, small boys and non-voters-
 The meeting opened up with some Massachusetts man trying to adjust the picture of Candidate Fowler on the back part of the stage. and after having got ten it fixed so that it looked like an advertisement for some patent baking powder. stepped down to the front of the stage and announced that Mir. French would act as Chairman.
 Mir. French with a brand new white vest and his usual debonair style, came forward and said he thought a song from the Glee Club would be the proper thing.
 Just before they commenced few office holders and some that would like to be office holders sauntered up and took seats on the platform (not the Republican platform) and then the Club, after the Soprano spit out a large wad Of Star chewing tobacco, sang a song called s'The O:d Missouri Corn Cob"
 French then said that it was about time to hear from Maxwell and with a Ohesterfeldian bow introduced the speaker of the evening.
 His first effort was very successful and really the only hit of the evening. He moved the water pitcher and bouquet off to a safe distance. and then started into a rambling. disconnected and unjointed statement that made Mark Smith many votes.
 He touched up irrigation on the Nile. in the Phillipines and in Borneo- Read number of fake telegra ms and before he got through many of those present left the Hall on account of hIs dry and uninteresting talk
 He entirely omitted to say anything of the past Republican Platforms that have promised us Single Statehood, did not say a word about the vast hold ings of land that are owned by Fowler Chandler and the big Corporations that will be watered by the big Tonto Basin Reservoir when 1t Is completed, nol about the vast fortunes they will reaI from the sale of those lands
 His talk luckily was very short, and as soon as he got through the crowe set up big howl and demanded an other song from the Glee Club.
 Maxwell hardly earned his $50 pel but then he has that $50 GOO coming from Fowler and the Railroads.

HON. MARK SMITH.
The Idol of Arizona Democracy Makes Eloquent to Address Large Crowd

Monday night was a sure enough Democratic night in Nogales-
 Hon. Mark Smith, the idol of Ari- zona Democracy was the leading at traction at the opera house, which was crowded as 1t never was crowded be- fore, to give him welcome.
 The stage was tastily and hand somely decorated with the stars and stripes; the new Nogales brass band was present as were also most of the candidates for county office on the Democratic ticket
 Hon. Bo. J. Whiteside introduced the speakers and made quite an i'm pression with the large audience.
 The first speaker was Hon. W. s Myers of Benson who explained why the ele-tion of Mark Smith as delegate to congress would prevent the joint-state- hood scheme of the Republicans. MT Myers devoted most of his time to the irrigation and single statehood issues He was well received and repeatedly applauded-
 MT. Sol B. Drachnan. a prominent Tucson lawyer and a member of Ted dy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. was the next speaker.
 MT. Drachman is most pleasing speaker and made a hit with every body in the opera house. After Drachman Hon. Mark Smith, of Tue. SOD, was introduced and made the best speech he ever made to a Nogales au-

Light on Fowler.

The announcement of MT. E. M. Murphy in a speech at Prescott that he was opposed to granting Statehood to Arizona at this time cast flood of light on the Fowler campaigu-for Con- gress. It has been noticeable from the beginning of the campaign that Fowler has studiously attempted to Ignore the question of Statehood. He has taken no stand on the issue and IS plainly seeking to hold himself in readiness to jump whatever way expediency should direct in the event of his election
 MT. Fowler Is not a well seasoned Arizonian. He has been out here only few years from Massachusetts His ideas of things are the ideas prevailing in Massachusetts,, and If he should be elected Delegate to Congress from Ari- zona he would be governed largely by the prevailing sentiment of Massachu- setts. It will hardly be denied that Massachusetts is the headquarters of the opposition to the creation of new States. Massachusetts leads New Eng land and New England is the propo- gating school for opposition to the creation of any more Western States. Mr. Fowler in his Prescott speech said he did not appear before the House committee on Territories when re- quested to do so, to oppose the bill annexing Arizona to New Mexico for the reason ''that the men he was work ing with on other measures were op- posed to single Statehood or were for joint Statehood" This is a debasing | confession. Mr Fowler was engaged as lobbyist in the corridors of the Capitol and he would not imperil the private work he was engaged in by lifting his voice to save Arizona from destrucion. He Is not the kind of man to intrust with the guardian ship of the liberaties of the people. He puts pelf before patriotism We believe the work he had Tn hand at the time the joint Statehood bill was be = ing matched by the Republicans of Congress, was a measure permitting some towns in the Salt River valley to bond themselves to build a road from Phoenix to the Tonto dam. This was of more consequence to Mir. B. A. Fowler than the preservation of tine integrity of Arizona,
 At the time that Mir. Fowler de- clined to respond to the call of patiot. ism lest he ight in any way em- barrass his private work as lobbyist, Marcus A. Smith was a private citi- zen attending to his own affairs in Tucson. When word of the inperilled position of Arizona reached him, he promptly abandoned his private affairs, and at his own expense rushed to Washington to rally his friends in de- fense of Arizona. The Republicans had perfected their conspiracy and passed the joint Statehood bill in the House, but at the solicitation of Mir. Smith, the Democrats of the Senate stood guard over the destiny of Ari- zona.
 | This illustrates the difference be- tween the two men. Mir. Smith IS a patriot. He stands for the integrity of Arizona. He is for all Arizona all the time. Mir. Fowler is a representa- tive of special interest in the Salt River valley. He is a parochial states man. His business is that of a special promoter of private enterprises in the Salt River valley. He cares nothing 1 for Arizona as a whole The people should reject his candidacy with in dignation.-

MIR. Fowler never brought a dollar to Arizona, and had nothing whatever to do with getting the ap- propriation for the Tonto Basin Reservoir. That dam site has been before the Interior Department for many years and always considered favorably. Major Powell, head of the Geological Survey made it a pet measure and the men who are now in the service are only carry ing out the ideas of the late Major Powell. Fowler had no more to do with the Tonto Basin project than a Papago Indian and his claims in that direction are an in suit to the intelligence of the people of this territory.
