Columbia Newspaper Asks Some Per-
tinent Questions.
The Columbia Record is a Jealous
supporter Of the dispensary system
It's utterances or comments on Sena-
tor Tillman's dispensary letter are
therefore unusually interesting.
The Record makes the announce
ment that the friends Of the dis
pensary regard Tillman as their
leader.
They can hardly do so now. He
eliminated himself as the dispen-
sary leader by his letter.
The Record says that the friends
Of the dispensary want Tillman to
make:
1. An unequiyocal statement OF
what he believes is wrong at the
dispensary.
Q. An unequivocal statement of
whom he believes guilty Of that
wrong.
8. An unequivocal statement OF
a remedy for the wrong, and adds
Tillman poses as a plain. blunt,
outspoken man, and now Is the
time the people demand that he
prove himself such. He cannot sat
isfy them by making vague, un-
supported charges. for they will not
forget that such charges, with even
an attempt at definiteness were made
against his management Of the dis
pensary, when he was In charge OF
lit.
1t Is up to Senator Tillman to
specify.

WHILE we have not seen anything
Of the kind over his signature there are
statements going the rounds OF the
papers to the effect that President
Harvie Jordan Of the Southern Cot
ton association is warning the farmers
against trying to get too much for their
cotton. He is quoted as saying ir
part:
81 am as much opposed to abnor-
mally high prices as I am to very low
prices. Ny advice to farmers at this
time Is to gradually sell their present
holdings, demanding at least ten cents
I shall oppose any effort to force the
price Of spot cotton to abnormally high
figures"
The idea here expressed Is sensible
enough. There is such thing as over
doing this business; but somehow we
don't feel warranted in urging farmer
to sell at 10 cents so long as the pros
poets seem so good for higher price
If the conditions are ripe for high
prices, they will certainly come, and
the farmer is more entitled to these
higher prices than Is the speculator
But still Mr.. Jordan's advice may Of
good. It is not impossible for the price
to break off at almost any time.

The July cotton season. That sounds
good.
A farmer who sold cotton yesterday
said that his little boy wept when 1t
was being hauled away. The little
fellow did not want to part with the
cotton. The spectators might take
warning.
People from Bethesda township re-
port that there is an area Of several
square miles In the vicinity Of Bethes-
da church which has not yet gotten a
share Of the abundant rains and which
is still very dry.
Many a note has been lifted at the
banks during the past ten days. and
deposits have increased wonderfully.
The banks now have cash balances
equal to the most prosperous times Of
last winter.
There 10 an increasing number Of
people doing business with the banks
new depositors coming in nearly every
day. 1t is difficult for some folks to
make up their minds to open up a
bank account; but after they once get
into the habit they would not go back
to the old way for anything. They
find 1t SO much more convenient and
business-like. ..r.E
Just how Mr.. Maupin's claim that
the income Of telephone exchange Is
governed by the law Of arithmetical
A,,f oil n
governed by the laws Of geometrical
progression, makes out we are able to
conjure up only the faintest idea, but
we can see how this claim can eventual
raises in monthly phone rentals from
50 to SO a month or from SO to s. q
month. etc.
So indignant is Mr.. Theodore H..
Price at the mention Of his name In
connection with the cotton scandal that
he threatens the newspapers that
publish the information that they will
do so at their peril. Now, we really
don't want to do Mr.. Price any in
justice or harm; but II the report Of
Secretary Wilson casts suspicion on
him we cannot see any good reason
why our readers should not be made
aware Of the fact. OF course, Mr..
Price has a right to sue IL he wants to,
and we are not certain that he could
not recover; but in case like this we
think we would feel better even after
we had been punished some than If
we had not printed such information
as has developed. Mr.. Cheatham, the
gentleman who was the means Of
bringing the whole conspiracy to light
says that he has no information that
connects Mr.. Price with 1t, and we
have no reason to doubt what Mr..
Cheatham says; but somehow we can't
get over a long settled conviction that
Mr.. Price is a smooth article-a very
smooth article, and II there Is anything
good going in the cotton business, we
have an idea that he Is generally pref
ty close to the ground floor. But then
we don't say that anything can be
proved absolutely. 1t was just mat
ter of lucky chance that Mr.. Cheatham
has been able to run Holmes to ground.
Surely 1t Is not yet forgotten how
Secretary Wilson pooh-pooned Mr..
lCheatham's charges when they were
first made.

WE have taken the liberty Of repro
ducing in another. column some state
ments made by Clerk Of the Court Tate
in discussing the registration question.
This publication is without any au-
thority from Mr. Tate, and If we have
misquoted him in any way, the fault
is ours and we stand ready to make
correction. However, the matter to
which attention Is called In the inter-
view is a very important one. If there
Is any kind OF a record that needs to
be absolutely exact this record Is the
roll Of duly qualified voters. AS mat
ter of fact our roll Is anything but
accurate. 1t is padded to a ridiculous
extent-not by the questionable de-
sign Of anybody: but by the operation
of natural causes. However, the gen.
eral effect is in a large measure the
same, and something should be done
to avoid such difficulties in the future

the plaintiff had failed to state facts
sufficient to constitute q cause Of ac-
ton, anc also claiming that as the al
legged incumbrance could not mature
during the lifetime of w. c. Hutchi-
son. who e. Is still alive. the plaintiff
certainly has not been damaged up to
this time. In the order Just filed
Judge Gage overrules this demurl er
and gives his reasons in full.
1T has been decided by the courts
of this state" says his honor, that
the inchoate right Of dover Is neither
an estate in land, nor Is 1t an incum-
brance thereon; but 1t Is defined as q
| substantial right Of property such
as a woman may sell for a price.
The substantial right Of property
arises out Of the concurrent seizure OF
land by a man, and his marriage
thereafter to a woman.
$50 the right Is inseparable from
land and proceeds out OF It, II II Is
Il not an estate in 1t. A substantial
right Of property OF that character
has value, and value Is always capa-
BILE of ascertainment. Such an ascer-
tainment is certainly had In the COM
mon transactions Of life, sometimes
by judicial processes, more frequent
lily by mutual agreement between the
woman claiming the right and the
person claiming the land. The fact
that the right Is uncertain OF fruition
or dover, and therefore Of doubtful
value, Is not conclusive against It's
existence, or It's value. Many rights
rest in like uncertainty; but are new
theless subject to a practical attain
ment. The covenant Of general war
ranty Is such a contract as will In
demnify the land owner against the
widows claim OF dover and that al
though the claim was inchoate when
the covenant Of warranty was entered
into; but became ripe and was as
serted thereafter.
"The existence of the right Of the
wife and the existence Of the cove
nant of warranty, are the two fac-
tors which have superinduced that
which might be mistakably regarded
as the premature assessment OF dow
err; but 1t is no such thing. Dover is
q specific interest, determinable actu-
ally, and Is always the same. The
linchoate right Of dover Is altogether
uncertain of fruition. Therefore of
value; II must be assessed by jury
upon all the testimony, and must, In
1.-THE nature Of the case, be OF less val
ue than the DOVER"
His honor goes on to say that In this
case 1t will be proper for the jury to
decide what was the real value Of the
rights Of Mrs. Hutchison in this prop
erty at the time those rights were
acquired by the plaintiff. He does
not lose sight Of the fact that II Mrs
Hutchison should die before her hus-
band, the claim question will be
wiped out: for on the contrary he ar
CUES that II Mr.. Hutchison should die
first the amount the plaintiff would
have a right to claim Of the defend
ant would be all the greater.
On overruling the demurrer his
honor grants the defendant twenty
days from the filing Of the order in
which to file its answer to the COM
plant, and that the case will eventu-
ally go to the supreme court seems to
be a foregone conclusion, for 1t in
wolves very important issues that
have never been passed upon before.

material changes in this whole mat
ter. Just how to remedy the trouble,
I do not know; but by all means there
should be provision for complete and

one of these young fellows went through
a number of passengers by passing his
hat, He went from passenger to pas.
senger exclaiming, "come help us out;
all same holdup anyway" While all
of the passengers did not contribute,
some of the panic stricken women did.
McCandless says he saw one woman
who left the train at Everett give some
money. He thinks the two obtained SIS

is a mass of wreckage. Great holes are
blown through the side on which the
safe stood and through the roof, and it
is filed with a on.discriminate mass
Of wrecked contents of trunks, fresh
fish, and other things usually carried
on baggage car.
Former State Horticulturist Won
Holderbeke was passenger. He had
a dog in the baggage car, but the ami.
NAL was apparently unirtured. The
wrecked car was taken through with
the train. A train left Everett with
railroad officials and detectives imme.
diately after the passenger passed
through.
The robbers were masked. There Is
theory here which is given considerable
credence that they came up from Sc
attic in launch and went back in the
launch Immediately after the robbery.
Some of the passengers on the train
say they saw the lights as of some
craft and that soon after the robbers
left the lights disappeared.
