wish, Mr.. Editor, just at this
time to say that tie Souther n
Cotton Association has reached a
point in its progress that it will
require a great deal of knowledge
and tact to steer the old boat on
for time to come. l, as its treas.
urer of the South Carolina divi-
sion, am in touch with every
section of this State as we'll as
other Southern States. AS |
have said before it will require a
great deal OF money to perfect
this organization. What the
Association has accomplished up
to this time is simply marvellous
and the world stands aghast, and
Is saying now: "What will be
The outcome of this orsa njza-
tion?" Every civilized nation
has It's eyes turned upon the
South, though that is not surpris-
ing when we realize the fact that
the few Southern States produce
at least rs per cent of the cloth
ing of the world. If the Associs.
tlon, with fourteen million bale
crop staring us in the face, when
they claimed that eleven millions
was all that the world could con-
sumo, could place cotton from 6
conts to 10 IL cents per pound,
then when cotton dropped below
10 cents the Association came to
the front and said: "Farmers.
hold your cotton for II cents.
and you will get it,"
Ought it not be sufficient evi.
dence to every "doubting Tho
mas" that the Association can,
will, and has accomplished a
great deal Tor the South, and l
do not hesitate to predict that
this is only the beginning in one
sense of the organization.
l have implicit confidence in
our people and as soon as they
realize what this Association is
doing for them they will not
hesitate to put their time and
money into the work, and when
they do that, we will then have
the strongest organization ever
organized by man, especially
when they realize the fact that
ii we control staple which pro-
duces from year to year six to

what a stupendous undertaking

OF MAILS
Annual Report Of Assistant POST
master General Shows Large In
crease In the Service.

The annual report Of w. s. Shallen.
burger, second assistant postmaster gen.
eral, shows that the annual rate of ex-
penditure for all inland mail transport
tation service during the last fiscal year
was $67, 931 AGO. To this ia added 81, 516,-
O63 for foreign mails. The largest items
In the postal transportation figures are
b star routes, which number Is, 743, ag-
gregating 23S. 1892 miles and an annual
rate Of expenditure of $39. III, BIT; rail-
way post Office car routes, numbering
2S4, with an aggregate of So ,037 miles
and an annual rate of expenditure Of
$5,518, 234, and railway mail service (of-
icers and clerks), 11,444 in number, in
volving an expenditure of $12, 095 ,437.
The number of miles travelled per an
mum by all classes of routes of mail
transportation in this country, among
which are star routes, railroad routes,
special Office routes, mail messenger
routes, ETC., aggregates sos, 585, 526.
In Hawaii the star route and mail mes
senger service at the various ports is
now so arranged as to connect mail
steamers at any time, whether the steam
ers are running on regular schedule or
at irregular intervals.
To indicate the large increase in the
volume of mails carried by the railroads
1t is pointed out that the expenditures
for railroad transportation and railway
post Office cars during the four-year
period 1902-05 was S42, 458, 146, an in
creas of over II per cent. over the previ-
Gus four-year period, while the revenue
of the postal service was $139, 781, 1874, an
increase of over 40 per cent. owe the
previous four-year period.
The report says it is evidently the de-
sire Of the American people to send
parcels of small average weight abroad,
and that our rates of postage favor this
practice.

SACRED EVEN IF DRUNK.
Queer Privilege Claimed by German
Oficers-Privates Punished for
Protecting a Girl.

Berlin.-A German soldier does not
possess the right of self-defense against
attack by his superior. This amazing
decision has been handed down in a
case just ended at Dessau. The facts in
the case follow:
Sergt. Heine, who was drunk, entered
a public dancing saloon and insulted
two girls who were in the company of
two soldiers named Guenther and
Voight. The girls appealed to their
companions for protection, and the SOL
diers protested TO Heine, who drew his
sword. He made a drunken lunge with
the weapon and slightly wounded one
of the girls.
A violent scuffle ensued, during which
floor. Ht g.
Guenther and Weight were arrested
for striking their superior officer. In
the trial the prisoners counsel contend
ed they acted in self-defense. He de-
clared it permissible for soldiers to de-
fend their honor and life, even against
q superior.
NOIHlnS OI JHe sui, IeSpoHVOu IAS
prosecuting counsel. "Self-defense is q
conception that does not exist in the
relations between soldiers and their
%superiors."
Counsel for the defense asked: Must
q soldier allow himself to be unresist-
ingly slaughtered by a superior oficer?"
YES" the prosecutor replied.
The court, however, partially dis
sented from this view. A soldier whose
life is endangered might parry. although
he must not strike a counter blow. The
prisoners each were sentenced to five
years hard labor, in addition to which
they we're dismissed from the army and
deprived of their civil rights. Heine
was sentenced to three months i'm
~prisonment for assault.

HINDOO MEDAL TALISMANIC
Brings an American Doctor Costly
Presents and a Lucrative
Position.

Kittaning, Pa.-Dr. G. A. Flower, OF
this place, has returned from st. Louis
mystified, but covered with presents.
He has also proposed to owe to India
within a year to become a private
physician to Rajah Tipo Sahib-a dig
nitary of whose existence DR.. Flower
was in complete ignorance until some
Jays age, when he was confronted with
the rajah's courier in st. Louis.
Eleven years ago, while at Chicago
attending the worlds fair, DR.. Flower
was instrumental in saving the foot
Of a young foreigner who had been
trampled on by a camel. The lad,
who appeared to be a Hindoo, pressed
On the physician a medal and took in
exchange the physicians card.
Some weeks ago DR.. Flower was sent
\ copy of a western paper, in which
his name was mentioned. Would he
call at the Indian embassy at ST. Louis,
bringing with him a medal which was
given him for services at Chicago in
1898 by a young native of India? The
doctor hunted up the medal and hur-
ried to st. Louis, the advertisement re-
quiring that he should be there be-
fore November "a. The Kittaning
physician was at once handed presents
from the new rajah Tipo Sahib, who,
1t seems, was the lad whose foot he
saved at Chicago. The Indian digni-
tary proposed that the American doc
tor would accept his poor presents, and
would come to India to live as his pri-
vate physician. The presents amount
to about $4,000. DR.. Flower will go

PENSION LIST INCREASING.
More Than q Million Names Added to
the Roll, and More in
Prospect.

Washington.-The pension roll OF
the United States has reached the
high water mark, now containing
1,00O,81 names, an increase OF more
than 1000 since June 80. In his last
annual report Commissioner Ware
stated that the pension rolls then car
ried more than 997, 1000 names. That
was In June of this year. For the
first time in history the pension roll
is above the 1000 900 mark, and 1t
will be further enlarged as a result
Of the operation Of order No. 70, the
tisan debate In congress last winter.
Adding to the rolls thousands of vet
Grams who were previously ineligible
is not the only effect of the rule pro-
viding for old age pensions. An
nouncement is made unoficially that
on account Of the falling off in work
in the pension bureau, due to order
No. 70, it will soon become necessary
to dispense with about 500 clerks.
Many of these will be dismissed,
and some given appointments in other
departments by transfer. The age rule
will have another effect more far
reaching and widespread. There is a
pension board of medical examiners
in nearly every county in the United
States. Under order No. 70 a veteran
is placed upon the rolls Immediately
upon application when he reaches the
age Of 62 years. This, of course, OBJ
viates the necessity of medical exam
ination, and hence will result in a re-
duction in the number of boards.
