SMITH SAYS STAND PAT.

Mr.. e. D. Smith, of the South Caro-
lima Cotton association, has issued
the following statement concerning
the ginning report published by the
census department last Thursday:
"The bureaus report on ginning
makes the total amount Of cotton
ginned up to the present 100000
bales. South Carolina Is $4,000 as
against $4,000 last year. I think all
will agree that at least SO per cent
Of South Cardinals crop was ginned
up to the 18th Of October. This be-
ing true, we will not make much
over 100000 bales Of cotton. Last
years crop was about 1,125,000. This
will leave South Carolina something
like 100000 bales short, Georgia,
Alabama and North Carolina all show
about the same percentage short
Texas making up In excess lacking S0,-
900 bales Of bringing 1t up to last
years's ginning.
."The next ginners' report, am
confident, will show that our conten-
ton that the crop Is short. Is true
Last week and the week before the
mills and the cotton buyers gave II
cents readily for cotton. II they
could afford to buy 1t then at that
figure, 1t Is worth that much now, for
the reason that they had placed their
contracts months ahead and could
afford to give II cents and show q
handsome profit,
There Is no reason why you, the
farmers of the south. should sacrifice
what cotton you do sell them, be-
cause somebody predicted there was
much larger crop, Demand from
them that they shall give for what
you sell them from now on, what
they have been paying for 1t for the
last two or three weeks at least.
Cotton Is worth today ON the markets,
In view Of the price and the scarcity
of goods, 1aa cents q pound. II the
farmers will just absolutely refuse to
sell It for less, this price can be OBJ
-tained for the balance OF this CROP.
.'Of course everything depends upon
the unanimity with which they hold
cotton. I am still convinced that on ac-
count of the frost and storm making
anything like top crop Is impossi-
BILE; that this crop will not appre-
ciably exceed last years and there
fore cotton Is bound ultimately to go
very much higher. The world will
need 12,500,000 bales and one Of the
best posted men in the cotton world
wired me that If the crop should turn
out 100000 bales. 1t would readi-
ly bring I'd in England. do not
think any one looks for q crop as
great as 100000 bales. Let the
farmers Of the country settle this
question and settle 1t now by abso,
lutely refusing to part with their
property. except at a value satisfac-
tory to themselves. The break in the
market Of one cent a pound within
three days entailing a loss Of 50 a
bale compared with the labor of the
farmer for Ia months to make that
bale of cotton, is enough to arouse
him to a sense Of his duty In the
premises. To work Ia months to pro.
duce that which spectators and
gamblers can take 10 per cent. from
Its value In 36 hours 10 enough TO
either make a man quit growing cot.
ton or show that he Is man. The
world is waiting to see whether you
are men,"

THE interstate commerce commls-
sion has handed down a positive ruling
to the effect that newspaper publishers
and editors may no longer receive
transportation in exchange for adver-
tising. The ruling is based on the
fact that all passenger rates are meas
ured in dollars and cents and this be-
ing true 1t would be unlawful even to
measure inches of space against mile
age. The ruling brings the whole mat
ter down to plain business and this
will no doubt be better for all con-
cerned. The newspapers Of this
country, especially the country papers,
have suffered more from trying to do
business on other than business basis
than from any other cause. Under the
new arrangements the railroads won't
advertise unless they find 1t to their
business interest to do so, and the
country editor who gets paid for his
space in proportion TO its value will be
able from the proceeds thereof to
travel as much as he has any business
to travel.

TRAGEDY AT OGDEN.

The horribly mangled remains Of d
white man found scattered along the
Southern railroad track at Ogden were
the subject Of an inquisition by Coro-
ner Louthian and a jury last Friday,
The gruesone find was made by a
negro woman at an early hour In the
morning. There was a leg here, an
arm there and the severed trunk with
the head mashed to q pulp, further on,
The woman reported her discovery to
the whites in the vicinity, and the most
thorough investigation, possible was
instituted without delay.
The remains were mutilated beyond
recognition: but from one circumstance
added to anotheF, the body was finally
Identified with reasonable certainty as
that Of Rainey Wilson, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. Scott Wilson, highly respect
ed couple of Bethesda township,
In the pockets Of the clothes We're
found some paid bills Of 8, NJ. Jones
& Co., against Mrs. Ella Wilson. and
further investigation developed that
there was a conveyance waiting at
Smiths Turnout the next station south
of Ogden to take Mr.. Hainey Wilaop
home upon his arrival at Smiths from
Columbia =.
The investigations Of the coroner de-
veloped but little. A young Mr.. Craw-
ford testified that he had seen Mr.,
Wilson at Winnsboro during the pre-
vious afternoon; that the conductor
had requested passengers who were
not going further than Rock Hill to
take the second section Of the train, or
whichsthey were travelling. He did not
know, however, whether or not Mr.,
Wilson had made the change. Some
negroes testified to having heard some
shooting in the vicinity Of Ogden after
the Chester Swing" had passed south,
There were five shots-three in rapid
succession and two Immediately after.
This was some time after No. "a had
passed north from Columbia.
From such facts and circumstances
as were presented there developed
among members Of the jury Of inquest
and others a theory to the effect that
It had been the purpose Of Mr., Wilson
to get off Of No. "a at Smiths; but
was carried by while asleep probably
and did not get off until he reached
Ogden. They think that he may have
been killed as he got off Of No. "a or
that the accident did not occur until
the arrival Of the Chester Swing,
DR.. w. G. Stephens of Rock Hill,
represented the coroner at the exami-
nation, and he was unwilling to oerti-
fly that Mr.. Wilson was alive when
first struck by the train. There was
a hole or two in the dead mans hat
and after taking all the facts into con-
sideration, the jury decided upon a
verdict to the effect that the deceased
came to his death from causes un-
known.
The remains Of Mr. Wilson were in
tered in Old Purity cemetery, near
Chester.

= Columbia special Of October 2s to
Charlotte Observer. The withdrawal
from the race for speaker Of the next
house of representatives Of both Judge
Frank p. Gary Of Abbeville, and Mr..
e, Marion Rucker OF Anderson, mar
rows the race to Messrs. J. w. Nash
Of Spartanburg: Richard 8. Whaley Of
Charleston and d. d. Mccall, Jr., OF
Bennettsville, the two former local OPP
ton men. The material that has been
suggested for the place has been ex-
cellent on both sides, the two factions
evidently realizing that quality and
fitness would outweigh merely the
candidates stand on the dispensary,
although 1t Is equally evident that this
wih be the point that will be fought
out In the contest. Ex-Speaker Gary
is man Of striking ability, even tenn
per and fairness and he made an ideal
presiding officer before Speaker Smith
came to the chair. And Mr.. Rucker
OF ANDERSON, Is not only very attrac-
tive man personally. but he Is man
Of ability in his line, as his work In
the chair temporarily last year show
ed. Mr.. Nash too, is level-headed,
thoroughly practical. enjoys the conf
dence Of the entire house and fs
worker on top Of all this. There is al
ways some interesting political wire
laying during fair week, so many prom
inent men being here at that time.
This time the interest and work CEN
tered about the speakership contest.
Messrs. Nash, Whaley and Mccall and
their close personal and political
friends were here, and there were fire.
1uent little lobby and other kinds Of
conferences. Governor Elect Ansel
was also here, but II he took any part
in the wire pulling he was shrewd
enough to keep 1t dark from the news
paper people. Messrs Nash and Wha-
lev being of the same political faith it
seems likely that one Of them will
withdraw before the legislature con-
venes. In Columbia the belief Is that
the race will finally narrow to con-
test between Messrs. Whaley and Nc
Call. both excellent men, able and pop
plar and peculiarly fitted for this very
irving position. And as the house Is
dearly anti -dispenRary the chances
seems to favor Mr.. Whaley.
