The contest in New York for gov
ernor promises to be the most in
teresting affair of its kind which the
country has had for many years. 1t
has in it all kinds OF. possibilities. The
contest is between two men, much
alike in many respects, and yet entire
sly different in method. Hearst, the
Democratic nominee is vastly ricn,
and has behind him a large labor fol-
lowing who believe in his fight for
honest government and square
deal for all classes. He is perhaps
more strenuous in his reform policies
than is Hughes, the Republican nomi-
nee, who himself went after the big
insurance thieves in no uncertain
way. It promises to be a battle royal,
with the more radical element favor
ing Hearst, while the Ultra Conserva-
Gyes will rally to Hughes. Party lines
viii disappear for at least this cam
paign. If Hearst is elected, he will
become a formidable presidential pos
siblity, as viii also Hughes.

Cuban Intervsation.

The Federal government, through
Secretary of War Taft, has taken into
its keeping the affairs OF the Cuban
government.
Secretary Taft has been appointed
provincial governor, and is now at
Havana, the Cuban capital. Ameri-
can troops are being hurried with all
possible haste to the island to uphold
the acts Of the secretary of war. This
act of intervention is justified by the
failure of the Cuban government to
protect life and property as is guaran-
teed by the Platt amendment. just
how long it will be before q stable
government is assured by the Cubans
cannot be predicted, and until that
time the American people viii con-
tinue to administer their affairs.

Cotton Reports.

The crop reporting board of the
Bureau of Statistics gives the average
condition of the cotton crop on Sept.
25th to be 71.6, as against 71.2, on the.
same date last year, and as against
6s.7 for the year average. South
Carolina is put down at SO against "a
last year, and 20 for the ten year
aVerage. Texas is given "a as COM
pared to SO last year, and 81 for the
ten average. This report does not
take into account the damage by
storm IN the last few days.
The Census Bureau reports 2,044, 426
bales cotton ginned this year up to
September 25, as against 2,s55,715 for
the same period last year. The price
in consequence of these reports and
the disaster by storm and rain, went
up over a half cent per pound yester-
day. Liverpool became badly frigh-
tened and bought cotton at almost
any price.
The gamblers of New York had to
follow. The firm of Ferguson & Co.,
of spartanburg, went to the wall be-
cause it had been caught on the bear
side Of the market. The world will
wake up to the situation and prices
will go higher. The English mills
win want IL, 500, 600 bales of American
cotton to carry them through the next
season. Where are they to get it?
Mr.. Farmer, you are in the saddle
with both feet in the stirrups, and all
YOU need to do is to hold tight and
senseable grip on the bride.

WednesdaYs October 3, 1906.

All the colleges and institutions OF
higher education have opened with
the largest attendance in their his
tories. There never has been q time
when the value of education was 30
fully understood by our people. The
college graduate is no longer q curosi-
ty to be pointed at as person OF
unusual distinction. Every commune
ty, almost every home has its boy or
girl IN some college. Education has
come to be regarded as almost q
necessity to genuine success. It used
<to be thought only luxury which the
rich could enjoy.
Every parent who sacrifices that his
child may getan education, does more
for that child than if bonds and broad
acres were laid up for it. Cultivate
the mind, train it, prepare it to meet
trained minds, and you have put it in
shape TO meet the CALLING, gruelhng
competition of this age of fierce COM
petition. Let the educational army
march on gathering strength as it
moves forward.

James, Janeway and Dr.. Billings of Chi

some time, issued this bulletin:
''Mr. Field is not SO we'll. The dis

The three physicians had issued no

the afternoon, when they gave out the
following: "Mr Field s condition re-
mains unchanged"
Later in the afternoon J. c.. Harris,
who was for some. years associated In
business with Mr. Field, and who is
now in the brokerage business in Chi
cago, visited the sick room. Upon
leaving he said that Mr.. Field was get

The three doctors in attendance ar

At midnight they were still in consulta

"a VIEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Applause
~ in a courtroom in this city is
unusual, but it greeted Attor-
ney General Hadley Of Missouri, at
the conclusion of his argument today
in the Henry H. Rogers proceedings
before Justice Gildersleeve. Opposing
counsel had impugned his motives in
coming to this city to get testimony
in his crusade against the Standard
Oil company. After he had finished
with the legal aspect Of his contention
that Mr.. Rogers should be compelled
to answer questions, he devoted a
minute or so to the defense Of him
self. He did it so neatly and so eff
fectively that scores Of those who
heard him clapped their hands and
stamped their feet until the court
officers raped for order.
The demonstration was remarkable
not only because Mr.. Hadley is a
stranger, but because the audience was
not composed Of ordinary court
hangers on. Most of those who listened
with keen interest to the argument
were lawyers, who entertained towar'

UP Went Anaconda.

Anaconda began to jump until, at
1880 on Dec. 81, it touched 298. Gates
had all but won his bet. The Standard
Oil crowd heard Of Gates bets and his
offer to Mrs. DAILY. Just before the
closing hour they sent in a flood Of sell
ing orders and broke Anaconda to 282.
A great struggle followed. Gates raj
lied the stock to 2S9, but he lost all his
bets. But he has had his revenge. The
truth about the Anaconda strike has
been made known to all the world, the
Rogers crowd have been outwitted
and Mrs. DAILY still has her stock.

TLANTIC CITY, N. j., Jan. Ii.
IN Sixty lives are in imminent
Il danger on board the stranded
steamer Cherokee of the Clyde line.
She ran ashore on the Brigantine shoals,
in the thick fog Of Friday in the final
stage Of her voyage from Santo Do
mingo to New York.
Broadside on to northeast gale
blowing at a forty-mile clip and deeply
buried in the grading sand of the bar,
the ship is shivering under the blows of
the furious waves.
Great walls Of water hammer her side,
and heavy seas are breaking over
the vessel from stem to stern, and only
one man can be distinguished aboard,
the others apparently having withdrawn
into shelter. Her ten passengers and
her crew of twenty have been aug
mented by the crew Of the ife-saving
station at South Brigantine station,
who went aboard Saturday, and whsse
life boat was smashed to pieces by a
huge comber against the steel side of
the Cherokee.
Big Tug Stands By.
The big oceon- going tug North
America is standing by the steamer,
altho full mile out to sea, and will
likely remain there in the hope that the
weather will moderate within the next
I twenty-four hours and thus enable an
i
fore the storm came up the tug was
able to pull the stern of the vessel
around So that she now lies head up
with the wind and this has softened the
force of the waves, which, if they were
smashing broadside on would soon start
the plates. The steamer has full head
of steam up and can take care of any
ordinary leaks.
Watching Chance to Aid.
The second crew Of the South Brigan-
tine station is patroling the beach
ready to use the breeches buoy ap-
I paratus in case the Cherokee breaks up
: during the night. They claim, however,
e that the chances are in favor of the ves-
sci holding tight for the night at least,
) but say that the wind is driving her
IL farther and farther into the sands, and
q thus making the task Of releasing her
= a more herculanean one than ever.
II Lighters are waiting in the inner har-
Dor ready to be used should the sea
moderate, but they will hardly be used,
as the crew jettisoned large portion of
the cargo today and will probably throw
the rest overheard so soon as the sea
moderates enough to permit matches to
be opened.
Signals from the steamer tonight
stated that all were well on board and
that she is riding the gale as well az
can be expected.
