As to whether cotton will sell for Is
cents, we cannot say, but as we see 1t,
there has never been a better chance
for that price.
There was q considerable amount Of
cotton offered when the price went up
to 11-50: but as the market began to
show signs Of weakness, the offerings
declined.
The cotton market so far this sea-
son has showed splendid illustration
of the fact that the price Is whatever
1t takes to make the farmer turn loose.
The buyer simply keeps on bidding un-
til the holder Is willing to sell.
Those seventy dollar buggies are
going to be a mighty easy snap In
some of the townships. In all Of the
townships. the prizes are very large,
considering the small amount Of labor
and energy that will be required to
carry them off.
When It developed on Monday that
there were no cases ready for trial,
Judge Wilson took occasion to deliver
himself very plainly to the bar that
he was not inclined to be patient with
the frlttering away Of time at the ex-.
pense Of the county. He said that 80
far as he is concerned, he is perfectly
willing to remain here until Christmas
or as long as there Is anything to do;
but he cannot hold the court machinery
intact at the expense of hundred dol
lars or more a day, with nothing do
ing. He insisted that the lawyers
should be ready with their cases.

DAVIS eLIsTERs PRESIDENT.
Arkansas Senator Urges Stripes For
Rich MaIefactors.

Rich Malefactors.
Senator jeff Davis of Arkansas. de-
ivcred a red-hot speech in the senate
'ast Wednesday afternoon. 1t was his
maiden effort in that body and was the
arst set speech by any senator IN the
Sixtieth congress. Moreover. 1t was
made just nine days after he had taken
his seat as a member.
It was in advocacy of the destruction
Of the trusts and the placing Of felon's
stripes upon rich malefactors. He de-
clared that q prison sentence staring
John D. Rockefeller in the face would
make him a law-abiding citizen. He
stigmatized Wall street spectators as
gamblers and thieves and charged
them with precipitating the recent
money panic.
He criticised the annual salary Of
President Roosevelt, which he put at
$4,000. He said he did not need that
sum to live on, land I've got the pres
,dent skinned a city block in the mat
ter OF family" he exclaimed. 81 have
eight children; he has only five."
In contemptuous tones, Davis de-
clared that unless conditions change,
1t will not be long before American
statesmen are wearing knee breeches,
with brass buckles and powdered wigs
and bowling down to semi-royalty."
His speech was upon bill which he
introduced shortly after the opening Of
congress, making any attempt to regu-
late and control prices a conspiracy
punishable by heavy fine and long
Imprisonment. 1t further provides for
the revocation OF the company's char
ter and permits recovery of the pur-
chase price.
mo remedy which means only their
destruction can be too drastic. Any
ching short Of destruction, any tenn
porizing, any palliating of this wrong
will not satisfy an outraged public and
will not bring the relief desired. The
trust evil Is cancer sore upon the
hody polite just as upon the human
body. The only remedy is surgeons
knife. Cut it out by the roots and de-
stroy the virus.
1T is the bounden duty Of congress
to act. II we don't destroy the trusts,
then I tremble for the public. I trem-
BILE for the government itself. The
creature Is growing greater and
stronger and more powerful than Its
creator. If permitted for only few
wears to run without check or him
drance instead Of the government pre-
scribing the terms on which the trusts
do business, the trusts will be pre-
scrihing the terms upon which the gov
ernment may do business.
Nearly seven years Of Mr.. Roose-
velt's strenuous term have passed with
all the machinery of the government at
his back. Yet, ask, will some Repub-
rican senator upon this floor tell me
one trust he has ever tanned, much less
destroyed?
"It has been said that corporations
should be treated justly and fairly.
That is too often the shield behind
which cowardly public servants evade
their duty.
Treat a trust robher like an ordi..
nary felon. Make the strong arm OF
law the same against him as against
a horse thief. Place the felon's stripes
the doxologv of misspent life-up-
nn him, and see the trusts busted and
the people get relief"

YoRKVILLE, s. c.,
FRIDAY, DECEMBER .I3, 1907.

WE are not proposing to take up the
tariff question. We are quite well
aware that the protective tariff oper-
ates against the south; but as matters
stand there is no reasonable hope OF
relief. We shall not complain against
the conditions that give the American
manufacturer Of f-cotton goods a mon
opoly Of the home market. But we do
think that there should be some pro-
vision for the surplus after the home
weavers are not now anxious for yarns,
it can only be because there is but
little demand for their cloth. And If
this is the true situation, there should
be an opening abroad. OF course, 1t
IS not to be expected that the manu-
facturers Of cloth can sell their pro-
ducts abroad at as good prices as In
America; but still with equal shipping
facilities there is no good reason why
we should not compete with foreign
ers abroad. With ready sale for their
cloths, there is no reason why the
weavers should not pay good prices to
the spinners, and with the spinners
easily disposing Of their products to
the weavers, they would be just as ca
ger for the raw cotton Of the produc-
ers. The situation is now out Of joint
somewhat; but we think merchant
marine would help things, at least in
so far as American manufacturers and
cotton producers are concerned.
