There is no city in the State,
and for that matter, of its size
in the United States which can
boast of as complete and as
grand a success as was the Sum
ter Carnival last week. It was
a week Of supreme pleasure, and
the thousands Of visitors came
away amazed at the tremendous
undertaking and it's wonderful
accomplishment. Sumter exhib-
tied what sane business conduct
can produce; her people went
into the project with pull-to-
gether-spirit, and it is thatspirit
which is fast making the city of
Sumter one of the foremost in
the State. and which makes her
an inviting field for varied in
dustries, and other money-mak-
ing institutions, and by the thrift
of her citizens, and the wide
awake and broad-minded busl-
ness methods the future of that
city is assured. To the commit
tees which had the Carnival in
charge too much praise cannot
be given; they fashioned grand
project, watched it's every de-
tail, and have every reason to

The cotton market is so fuctu-
ating now, that farmers are in a
a quandary to know what to do,
and the effect is that they are
slow in making their prepara-
tions for another year. Those
who are holding cotton hope for
better prices after the holidays,
but in the present decline they
are getting nervous over the
situation. Of course, our opln-
ion is worth no more than that
of any other observer, but we
believe, Notwithstanding the
large crop made, the prospect
is for good, stiff prices later on.
Notwithstanding this to be our
belief. we would not advise the
holding ofcotton, except to those
who are free from debt. They
alone can afford to take the
chances. There is another mat
ter perplexing the farmers, the
question of labor, and this is
more serious than the price Of
cotton. In our opinion the labor
question can be solved by the
landI Iowners, and there is no bet
ter way to do this than by
through organization. There
fore, we would advise every
owner of land to attend the
farmers netting on the 9Th OF
December.

Col. Cole L. Blease, Senator

Col. Cole L. Blease, Senator
elect from Newberry county, has
sent to the Governor his reslgna.
ton as a trustee of the colored
State college at Orangeburg,
taking the position that under
our Constitution, Section p,
Article Ill. and Section 10 Article
Ill, to hold the trusteeship after
being elected to the Senate would
be a clear violation of law. We
believe Senator Blease is right,
and his resignation was the prop
er course to pursue, but why is
it that others are permitted to
violate the Constitution with re-
gard TO trusteeshlps. There is
Senator Tillman, a trustee OF
Winthrop College: and one Of
the most valuable men on the
board; yet according to our Con
stitution, he holding a seat in
the United States Senate and a
trusteeship is violating the law
and setting a bad example. We
think that provision in the Con-
stitution should be changed, but
until it is changed every man
holding Office is under oath to
obey it, and should be made to
do it.
If Colonel Blease's interpreta-
ton of the Constitution is cor
rect, Clarendon also loses a val
liable member from the same
board, Captain Bradham, recent
ly elected to the Legislature, is a
trustee of the State Normal Col
lege and has earned the reputa-
ton of being a very valuable
member of the board. Of course.
as soon as he is sworn in as a
legislator his connection with
the college ends. We do not
know whether there is anyone in
Clarendon who would like to
succeed Captain Bradham on
that board, but whoever does
succeed him and Colonel Blease,
will find an institution that has
been well managed.
