nittce will then resume the taking
OF testimony and make additional
report to this session of the lcglS-

startling disclosures. Just what

committee is divided. 1t is not
probable that any legislation will be
had at this session but as some ono
remarked before the COMMITTEES It
not at this session the question
would continue to be presented TN
til something was done.

STIRS THE CONVENTION.
Notable Address Of the Hon. E. D. Smllh
at New Orleans Convention.

The address OF Hon. L. y.
Smith. Of Columbia. President Of
South Carolina Division. at the
morning session was a notable fea-
ture OF the entire Convention. 1t
was most eloquent appeal from a
Southern man for the en1anclpa-
ton Of the Southern cotton planter.
It stirred the convention from its
very depths. As Mr.. Smith closed
men jumped to their feet by the
score, rushing towards the plat
form, shouting for Smith. It was
an intensely dramatic scene in the
great hall.
Mr.. Smith was still on the plat
form. Men piled over the tables
to grasp his hand. The convention
had not adjourned: but no atten-
ton was paid to the furious rap
ping of the Presidents gavel.
Smith had hit the keynote that ap-
pealed to their hearts and inspired
fresh hope.
Il want the sense of this conven-
ton on I5-cent cotton: | want to
know if this body is with me" de-
clared Mr.. Smith; as the surging
crowd about him grew larger.
Lets have a VOTE.
"The Committee on Holding OF
Balance of the Crop has just fin
ished its labors and declared unan-
imously for 15-cent cotton. re-
ported member of the committee
on the platform.
Thank God for that and the
vice president from South Carolina
I was satisfied. He dropped into a
chair exhausted. e
Having been forced to learn
how to make 6-cent cotton" enuncl-
ated Mr. Smith during his eloquent
appeal I'VE will now teach Our
tsome-tirne masters to pay us IS
cents. L am glad they taught us.
| Why is it that when cotton was 8
! cents you never heard one of them
say, BE careful, you'll ruin the
poor devil who produces the cot
TOM But when cotton was forced
up to- II cents, on every hand they
were shouting at us, BE careful,
or You'll injure the manufacturer
and the mill operator; he only has
a few hundred, millions: II-cent
cotton will hurt him
"When the cotton planter comes
| to town with a few plucks OF cot
ton fibre in his hand asking the
merchant what he will give, he is
not only exhibiting a pinch Of cot
ton, but in those fbres are speaking
the sacred lives and ambitions OF
his wife, true and faithful, and the
LITTLE ones at hOme.'
Mr.. Smith wished to explain his
position on cotton gambling, as it
had come up the night before with
President Walter Clark, of Mis-
sissippi.
! II do not believe in this gambling
in cotton but I want to be under
stood on this question. For thlr-
teen years we averaged only 6 too
cents for our cotton, leaving the
south poor and beggared. Just
then the bull clique was formed,
cornered the product Of the world,
and forced cotton to II cents, aver
aging II cents for us. Having
once got a taste of this delightful
II and 12-cent cotton, nothing but a
civil war will ever put us back"
Referring to South Carolina
crop he declared:
If South Carolina makes a lit
tie more cotton than she thinks she
will never jeopardize the south,s
interests by throwing it on the
market.
"Fifteen-Cent cotton. W by, my
countrvrnen, we cannot only hold
ninety days, but three times ninety.

COLUMBIA LETTER.
All Elections Except The DiSpenSary sElec-
tons To Be Held Today DlSpen-
Sary Agitation Continues.

on the third week OF TINS session.
10 to this time the main work has
been in getting new measures pre-
pared and introduced. The main
questions to come before, this ses-
sion have not yet been considered
by either house. There was some
little discussion on the dog law, but
the dispensary and the tax ques-
ton and the appropriations have
not yet been reached.
Only about five bills have been
ordered enrolled for ratification
and these are not Of general inter-
est.
Thursday of last week was taken
up largely in paying tribute to the
Hon. A1tamont Moses, who was a
member of the house and who died
since the last session. Both houses
then adjourned until noon today.
Tomorrow is set for the elections
with the exception of those con-
nected with the dispensary. 1t was
decided to postpone these until it
was seen what would be done with
the dispensary.
It is not at all probable that
Chief Justice Pope will have any
opposition. No one has been men
toned in that connection as yet.
The circuit judges whose sue
cessors have to be elected at this
time will most likely all succeed
themselves. Judge 'Klugh of the
Ssh circuit as opposed by Senator
F. P. McGowan OF I;aurens but the
others have no opposition. ~
*** .:.*
The two places to be filled on the
eoard OF directors Of the penitenti-
ary promise so take rather lively
races. It is a place nuch sought
after, especially by members OF the
legislature who have decided not
to come back to the Legislature.
The dispensary debate wifl'likely
start this week. The Morgan 10
cal option bill has been made a spe-
cial order for tomorrow but: it will
scarcely be reached inasmucla the
elections will take up the entire: day.
The bill which seems to have the
endorsement of the dispensary ad-
vocates proposing to amend the
state dispensary law has been in
troduced in both houses. 1t embod-
les the idea of Senator Tillman and
other friends of the state dlspe11-
sarv who still believe that the law
can be so patched up as to remove
the Objectionable features in the ad-
nlinistration of the system. lhls
bill provides for the appointment by
the governor of committee to
open the bids which must be done
in public and this committee can
serve only once. The contracts are
to be awarded to the lowest respon-
.sible bidder who is to give bond
and the contract is to be awarded
for one year and wtiskey to be Or
.dered only from a bonded ware
house. The committee is not to
know who the bidders are and are
to receive per diem and mileage
for their services. The whlskey is
to be ordered out by the conm1ss-
ioner and is to be blended and bot
tied at the state dispensarv, no
case goods to be bought. The
hoard of directors are to be paid
S1.5oo a year and are to meet once
= month to look over and supervise
the business but are not to be per-
r1itted to do any purchasing.

regulations, or diSpensary under
county control and abolishing the
state institution.
There are a number OF other bills
proposed to amend and to abolish
the dispensary but the main light
will centre around these two meas
ures and the battle will line up this
week.
Senator Blease OF NcWberrv has
bill practically abolishing the
Brice law. but there is little, if any,
prospect Of its passage.
:: :: ::
The question is what will be the
result and everybody is asking
what will be done with the dispen-
sary. Any statement is simply an
opinion and the opinion of one man
on the result is worth about as much
as another and it is about as easy
to tell who will be elected in a pri-
mary.
At this stage of the game, how
ever, it seems to be pretty gener-
allv conceded that the house is
against the state institution by a
very safe majority and that it will
not agree to any amendments which
have for their purpose the contlnu-
ance of the state dispensary. On
the other hand it is claimed that the
senate has a majority in favor of
amending the dispensary law and
continuing the state dispensary and
will pass the bill as indicated above.
It takes a concurrence Of both
houses to pass a proposed measure
so as to become law. If this dag.
nosis is correct and both houses
stand pat there will be nothing done
and no changes will be made and
the law will stand as it is.
1t IS claimed that there are some
conservative men IN the senate who
belong to neither extreme and who
are anxious to serve their state to
the best interests of all concerned
and who believe that the dispensary
system under state control is the
best solution of the whiskey ques-
ton if properly managed and they
also believe that the law can be so
amended as to accomplish this pur-
pose. They do not believe that the
institution is run at present. as it
should be. They will support the
bill to amend the law, but if they
should find, as it is claimed, that the
house will not agree to any patch
ing then the question is what will
they do. 1t is claimed that in that
event, rather than let matters rock
along, they will go to the house
position, and holding the balance OF
power in the senate, if they do, the
local option measure will be passed.
This is merely an opinion but from
the best information obtainable that
seems to be about the situation at
this writing. 1t is that or nothing.
AS it looks now there seems a
bright prospect for the passage of a
local option measure making the
county the unit instead of the state
and for the abolition or the Stdle
dispensary.
Comptroller General Jones has
made good deal Of noise about the
assessment of property at its actual
,,,1,,a ,rd ca IN h,,t no new meas
ure is likely to be passed. If as
sessments are increased and more
money is raised with a small levy
than is raised now with a high
levy the tendency will be to eStrav-
agance. What is needed more than
an increase in assessments is an
equalizing Of existing valuations
as among the counties.
