WHEAT MARKET SHOWS A SMALL
IMPROVEMENT OVER PAST
TWO WEEKS.
Great Many Growers Are Not Salts
fled With Present Position of
NaIues-Want Better Price,

There is just a moderate business
doing in the wheat market. Compared
with the long period of quiet since
the opening of last season the move
ment is an active enc, but considering
the size of the harvest now nearly Sc
cured, and the normal amount of
business that should be passing the
last of September, the position may
we'll be characterized as quiet. There
are a great many growers who are not
satisfied with the position of values,
while, on the other hand, buyers are
just as independent and are not bid
ding up above the level of the export
values, based upon the regular Liv-
erpool parity, according to the West
Coast Trade. In some cases pools
have been formed, with the announced
purpose of holding the farmers pro-
duct until the market shall have en-
HANGED at least 10c per bushel, but
buyers profess to regard this position
on the part of the growers with COM
placency, being willing to await the
result with as great equanimity as the
makers Of the pool themselves. They
are not tied up with a lot of tonnage
for which the wheat must be provided,
and are in a position to do business
when the holders are ready at the go
ing market values. There are a half
dozen vessels on the Sound available
at this time for wheat and a few of
these have been placed, but none have
as yet actually commenced loading,
though warehouses are beginning to
take in stock again, after having been
run to the lowest ebb in the history of
the grain trade of this port. Arrivals
for the week aggregated APT cars of
wheat, or slightly in excess of AGO.
900 bushels, but still considerable
short of the record that will be made
tidewater without restriction.
Developments during the week were
rather more favorable than for some
time, though toward the close specu-
lative markets, which had advanced
fairly earlier took a slump, due to
the influence of marked increase in
Black Sea shipments, the fact that the
total amount put af1oat was 5000 900
bushels in excess of last year and
liberal primary marketings in this
country. The mills are bidding but
little above this figure, as their cur
rent wants are pretty we'll supplied,
while California is now receiving pur-
chases made some time ago, and is
not buying to any extent just at
present and Japan has provided for
the immediate wants of her millers

MILLERS' COMBINE is MANIPU-
ON THE COAST.
San Francisco Quotations Warrant
Better Price for Grain in the In
land Empire.

The farmers of Walla Walla county
are still holding on to their wheat
with the firm belief that the price will
go up in the near future. At present
very little of this years crop is be-
ing moved, and while the demand is
not very active, yet local grain deal
ers are always on the lookout for
chance to pick up choice lots. That
the farmers are justified in holding off
for better offering is evidenced by
the following letter written by Harry
Krutz of Seattle to his local agent in
Walla Walla:
"The report of the State Grain COM
mission on the raising of the standard
of wheat from So to SO pounds to
the bushel and their reply to the Port
land chamber of commerce is very in
teresting. 1 am glad to see the COM
mission refused to increase the
standard from So to SO pounds. I am
also pleased with what they have to
say about the millers' combine. You
will notice that the millers wire the
warehouse men each day a cOmbina-
ton price to be paid for grain so that
this year we will have no competition
whatever among the buyers At the
present time, however, grain is being

There seems to be an impress
sion abroad that Clarendon is
opposed to immigration. The
question has not been tested
here but in our opinion, the
majority of our people would
gladly welcome an agricultural
class Of immigrants. A few i'm
migrants have been tried in this
county. Those that came from
towns and cities did not remain,
but the rural class are here yet
and are we'll liked. Clarendon
realizes the labor conditions, and
if good farm laborers can be Sc
cured they will find good homes
here.

A FINE IDEA.

In an interview given to the
press by Hon. F. H. Weston,
Secretary Of the South Carolina
branch of the Cotton Growers
Association, there is a probabil-
ity of sending Hon. John L. Nc
Laurin to China ito investigate
the Chinese boycott which
threatens to materially iujure
the farmers Of the South. We
think the scheme to interest the
cotton manufacturers in such a
proposition exceedingly wise,
whether McLaurin or some other
man of influence is sent, and we
believe from the interest already
manifested by President Roose-
velt, he will upon the proper
showing, use his influence in
urging Congress to authorize the
appointment of a commission with
power to arrange such a treaty
with China that our trade re-
lations will not only be resumed.
but be permanently secured.
Senator McLaurin is peculiarly
fitted for such mission, because,
when in Congress he saw the
lack of craftsmanship IN the Ex-
clusion Acts, and boldly opposed
them, and besides. he has spent
years of his life studying such
questions. It was his broad
minded craftsmanship that won
the friendship of Minister WI
Ting Fany, the greatest diplo-
mat of the age, and who is the
backbone of the boycott. Minis
ter WI spent several years in
the United States, and is thor
oughly posted upon our condi-
tons. He realized the useless
ness Of making a demand for
fair play from this country, if
that demand had to be backed
ND with 4 resort to arms. He
therefore, with the shrewdness
characteristic of him reached
out to touch Americas pocket
nerve, and plainly and bluntly
told the United States: IF you
exclude my people from the
United States, we can but retail
late by excluding the products
of your Southern farmers and
factories, and all other products
from the United States from
entering China" Minister WI
was not blufing, and today the
seaports OF China are being
closed against the United States,
and the loss of trade will amount
to millions upon millions Of dol
lars. McLaurin, if anybody can,
will obtain the ear of Minister
WI, and if he succeeds in lifting
this boycott which bids fair to
be very damaging, especially to
the Southern farmer, he will
have accomplished more than
any statesman Of the South in a
century. The proposition tc
send McLaurin to China is a
wise one, and we hope the Cot.
ton Growers Association will
lose no time 10 pressing it.

played the Tool and LOOK S1o pale less
than they could get now. Mr.. Smith
declared that such men rs these were
traitors, and he would rather be a yel
low dog than be classed among them.
He was tired of hearing the farmer
called "downtrodden" and"oppressed. y
# this were true, the only reason for
it was that they were the softest snap
in the world. poverty and ignorance,
with all of their attendant evils, are
Gods lashes to whip you up to be men. "
The farmers are realizing that they
have been easy marks and are begin
ming now to take care Of themselves.
When cotton was s. a pound Eng
land and Europe could not compete
with America. How can they do it
when cotton is 10 and y cents? Cotton
is admitted to be the basis Of Southern
wealth, the currency of the South. Cot
ton is the predominant industry OF the
world.
The South has monopoly Of the pro-
,;uction of cotton. Having admitted
these three great truths, the bankers
came to the aid of the Association and
they were followed in turn by men in
all businesses and walks of life. Mr..
Smith congratulated all upon the fact
that the farmer is now on top, and he
wished to advise them to ride easy.
Mr.. Smith, in concluding his speech
outlined the plan for building ware
houses for the storage of cotton. Last
year insurance and storage cost the
South two and a half millions OF dol
lars. This vast amount of money ought
to be kept in the South.
Mr.. Smith took a hand primary to
ind out how many men in the audi
ence felt that they had been benefited
by the work of the Association. There
was q good showing Of hands.
\ call was then made for subscrlp-
tions to help pay the expenses OF the
Association. One farmer late in the
afternoon handed President Smith $40.

BON VOYAGE MAJOR HEMpHIlL.

The people of Charleston gave
Mai. j. G. Hemphill editor News
and Courier a farewell luncheon
last Monday night. It will be
recalled that Charleston's bust
ness men in appreciation Of edi-
tor Hemphill's magnificent SER
vices for the welfare of their
city, secured for him leave of
absence to take a European trip,
and presented him with check
for $1,000. This was a handsome
recognition OF merit, and on
Monday night they assembled to
say good bye" The only re-
gret we have is that the editors
of the State were not given an
opportunity to shake Major
Hemphill's hand. and express
their happiness for the splendid
recognition he received from the
people he labored so faithfully
for.

!, CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE.


In the history of man commerce has
been the great constructive force II
building higher civilizations and equal
izing rights and privileges. 1t is the
fashion of the day to decry wealth and
point to the vast fortunes accumulated
! as menace to popular rights. This is
true to some extent. but as long as
wealth is coupled with the spirit that
gives ten millions to public libraries,
another ten millions to pensioning aged
teachers and still another to the gen.
eral educational cause there cannot be
much danger in such wealth. Little
ness Of soul that would limit endeavor
and dwarf accomplishment are to be
feared more than concentration OF
wealth. Education and the diffusion
of intelligence are the safeguards OF
liberty. So long as we retain the en-
ceptional manhood OF this Republic we
will develop and continue to broaden
our influence in the affairs Of the world.
In depth and breadth of character, IN
exalted love of country, reverence for
law, respect for the rights OF others and
the ease and ability with which we
tread the myriad paths leading from
rank TO rank in life, the men Of Amer
ica surpass all their fellowmen. Pros
peritv, whether moral or material, IN
the years to come will depend upon the
maintenance of these noble distinctions.

MIR. 4. y. SMITH.

s'AAN' 80
After dinner the Rev. r. \. Sublett
of Summerton WAS called upon to in
tro0uce Mr. Z. D. Smith, and he did
so in q very happy manner. MIR. Sub
lett is q large cotton planter himself
and therefore is closely Interested in
the Association of which Mr.. Smith is
president for South Carolina. Mr..
Subett referred to the speaker as "a
cat on rollers" the ''Gatling gun OF the
South.
Mr. Smith plunged at once into dis.
cussion of the cotton question with all
of his characteristic vigor, and direct
ness, and the crowd, with that feeling
of contentment which comes after a
good dinner, listened9closely. Mr.. Smith
was several times interrupted by ap-
plause. Cotton, declared he, is the
only crop the farmers get any money
out of. Sweep cotton out OF existence,
and the corn or hay is worth nothing at
all. Everybody who is in the cotton
business is in it for money, from plant
ers to exporters The cotton farmer is
no better of because he has never de-
mauded reasonable price for the most
marvellous wealth-producing crop in
the world. Mr.. Smith declared that
farmers could be successfully organ
lied. They had never been organized
because he methods before adopted
we're those of oilce-seeking politicians,
who. after succeeding in getting their
pie. turned ronnd and told them to go
to the dcyil..'
The Association had pushed cotton
up to 10 cents. Mr.. Smith then told OF
the various propositions he had met
with when he started out, one of which
was the objection to having the price of
cotton raised because it would injure
the ''infant manufactures" Dan Suly

The Rector Vitascope, which has al ways supported Jeff Davis, has de clared for Berry for United State senator Among other reasons givel for supporting Btrry are the follow ing:
 He does too many things to which Honest Jim" Berry would not stoop.
 Berry would not have given Jim Clarke $33,0O0 as a lawyers fee for about five days work, in the "a lrOad tax cases. And why did Davis do it? When you un- derstand the inside Cf Jeff Davis reason for paying Jim Clarke ont of the peoples money, for five days work in compromising the railroad tax cases, more clear cash than an honest, average farmer makes in 300 years, you will then understand the reason why the writer of these lines can never again support Jeff Davis for any office whatever.
