common In the United States than In
any other country. That Is because
1t Is comparatively easy to escape
punishment. The need Of reform OF
our criminal court system is apparent.
700 much latitude IS given criminal
lawyers. In no other country Is there
such unrcstrained license to insult
witnesses on the stand; to attack
their characters before the Jury; to
appeal to the passions and prejudices
OF ignorant jurors, to pick jurors; to
secure cOnJinuanceS with the view to
wearing the case out, etc. These

by any consideration except the facts.
The trial should be a perfectly calm
and dignified procedure to bring out

both sides should be restrained from
such unworthy exhibitions as are fire..

kno%n, produce at nearly every bar a

the criminals, In order to get their
fees. Should tho government take
entire charge OF the administration OF
criminal justice, they would, to every
boay's advantage, be driven cut Of
business"
All persons charged With the com.
mission CT crime are entitled to q fair

VERY SHORT CROP.
The Most Significant Phase of the
Cotton sitneticn
liz tho Remarkably Early Opening of
the Staple. 1t VIII All be
Picked In q Short Time.

The most significant phase of the
cotton situation Is the remarkably
early opening Of the crop, says the
Progressive Farmer and Cotton Plant,
OF Raleigh, N. q. Everybody knows
that the yield is very much smaller
than last year, but the 60 sernment
report shows thai ginning receipts are
heaYior than they were to this date
last season. Around Raleigh We nc.
tice that in some places three. fourtbs
Of the crop is ready for picking. At
the Asheville mootlng We heard SINH
lar conditions reported from other
States, and in Richmond last week
President Jordan told the writer that
the early opening is general through.
out the Cotton b 1t.
Now this condition, 1t seems to US,
cannot fall to have It's effect upon the
market. Early opening mes.ns early
glnning~-hsayy receipts in all the gin.
nerie3 In the early part Of the season;
and the general public is likely to
have this increase in ginning receipts
as indicating a large crop Of cotton.
Last years crop proved to be so much
heavier than anybody suspected prior
to the Governments December report,
that the cotton world win be ready to
Jump at the conclusion that this sea-
sons yield may also have been under.
estimated.
With this unusual condition Of the
crop favoring the plans Of the bears,
therefore, 1t Is quite likely that they
may be atlo to keep down the price of
cotton below It's true value until the
actual size Of the crop becomes known
THAT Is TO say, until the Inc vitable
decline In ginning receipts proves that
the crop Is really a small one.
For it is really a small crop-no
doubt Of that. The Government con.
dition figures with the Government
acreage estimate, as we said last week,
Indicate crop OF only 9,978. 333 bales;
with the Cotton Associations acreage
estimate 8 562. 5l4 bales. If the Cot
ton Association had based it's estimate
solely on the condition OF the crop re.
ported to it-Seventy. three per CEN
OF last year-lt would lave predicted
only 8, 500, 600 bales instead Of 8, 500.
900.
10 sum up; the crop Is small, but
the heavy ginning receipts early in
the season may keep prices below
what they should be. If so, they will
advance to higher levels after the reaI
size OF the crop becomes known. And
unless there Ia a phen0menally favor.
able season from now on, 1t looks to us
as IL farmers have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by holding fol
higher prices.
Tho Progressive Farmers and Cot
ton Plant Is right. It's estimate tai
lies with our experience exactly. The
crop ID short, much shorter than many
farmers Themselves suspect, but the
prices may he kept down by the
heavy receipts at the g!nneries, but
the farmers should not be fooled by
this condition and rush their cotton
on the market. This would be dis.
astrit US to prices. 1t Is cur firm be
i:%a tAab IL cotton is marketed slowly
the prices will go to twelve cents.
We expect i rapid rise in prices when
the sizs OF the crop Is revealed by the
government reports later on.

MONEY FOR
\ Question az to tho Distribution OF
tho D~ispensary Surplus.

The Columbia Record says on &C.
count OF the doubt as to the exact law
on the subject, 1t will be necessary to
make COAST ferable inquiry into tina
mathtd OF distributing the %dispensary
school money in counties voting out
the 0iSpenSaries.
The conditions, 1t IS stated, are
very peculiar. The school law, as COM
piled IN 1908, made no provision for
counties tha0 might be dry, and Mari.
boro and Greenwood received their
share OF the profits IS we'll as any de-
lciency THAT might exist according to
the superintendent Of education.
The law OF 1904, approved February
70, however, provides that no county
voting cut the d~ispensary shall receive
any part OF the surplus after the de.
h%clency has been made up. This evil
IDENTIFY means that the deficiency shall
DC made up in all counties, hut the
question has arisen whether or not
Marlboro and Greenwood, under this
law, VIII receive a share OF the surplus
money or not. 1t Is believed, although
there has been no test made OF it,
that the act of 1909 applies to coun.
ties that had d"ispensaries but after.
wards voted them out. On the other
hand, 1T Is said that In Pickens and
Union a test will be made of 1t and
that these counties will claim their
share.
The amount received by dry coun
ties voting out the ~dlspensary In 1904
was as follows:
