will sell the cotton crop of 1907, and
pay you cash, and yet have money
enough left to capitalize two hundred
national banks.
"Why, have just read where one
of your eminent bankers has pro
claimed that we have reached the
climax of our prosperity. l take issue
with this apostle of finance who thus
speaks in the midst of our unhalting
growth. | agree with him that it is
time for all to introspect, and it is
time for investors to introspect, but
it is time also for money people to
introspect. l want to announce to
you that we have long way to
travel before we shall have reached
the capstone of our commercial
growth and prosperity"
Mr. Witham then in humorous de-
| tail contrasted the present condi-
lions in America with those that OBJ
tanned 100 years ago, and continued:
How does this prophet of prosper
ity conclude that our zenith has been
reached and by what X-ray has he
measured the gold buried in the
i American mines?
by what rule of mathematics has
he figured the ungarnered crop Of
1907, and weighed the cotton OF
Georgia, and measured the wheat OF
Minnesota, and estimated the rice OF
South Carolina, and counted the corn
of Iowa, and added up the dollars
paid for the tobacco of North Gallo
lima, and the golden fruit of Florida
and the lumber of Alabama, and the
silver of Colorado, and the wool OF
California, and the iron of Pennsyl
vania, and the coal of Ohio, and the
nutmegs of Connecticut?
HE can count the wheat in the
grainery, but he can't measure it in
the fields of the mighty west
HE can count the gold in the
vaults, but not that in the everlasting
hills.
"He can estimate the crops in store
but not the crops yet expected by
the will of the Divine Benefactor.

W|THAM'S splendid SPEECH
BEFORE AMERICAN BANKERS

which, in its present pace of wealth,
is to become the gold end Of our
great republic. / am from the land

here, eluding justice and detection;
that the drought has shrunk up. your
berry crop and the Goldfish are cours-
ing toward foreign shores, and that
listed securities (more properly to be
called twisted securities) are on the
shoot-de-shute, and that impending
financial distress stares you all in the
face with an oncoming panic, beside
which '93 is but baby. Every crowd
that l have met up here are going
around singing that old Methodist
hymn, Change and Decay in all

Nov, / come today, bringing this
company of Stalled financiers words
of cheer and consolation in the an
nouncement that this country shall
not have financial panic. Be it re-
membered our country never had,
nor can it ever have, a panic at that
! season of the year when the cotton
crop of the South is moving to take
| its place of power in the world of
commerce. Be it remembered that it
was the early shipments of the feecy
staple in '93, which crossed the
ocean and turned the tide of yellow
metal toward our American shores,
thus breaking the greatest panic of
all the ages. l am here to tell you
that the huge cotton crop now being
garnered, will produce enough of
quick, cold cash to quench the fires
of dozen panics. AS in the battle of
New Orleans, the breastworks of cot
ton bales placed by the command of
General Jackson, saved that city and
our country from the invasion of a
foreign foe, so l tell you that our
present crop of 1907 will save our
country from the predicted financial
trouble. The largest cotton crop ever

trade is coming our way. With 1t the
fear of panic weakens, confidence is
on our right, and on our left, so that
before two months have passed, this
King of Commerce shall drive away
all signs of trouble, disaster, restore
all trade to normal conditions, and the
people of the North and the people Of
the South will join us in singing thai
old Baptist song:

DAILY GRIST Of
THE POLICE COURT

Twenty-Five gamblers bucked the
police game in the police court yester-
day morning. Judge Whitney dealt
and Prosecuting Attorney Andrade
kept cases and the rake-off for the
house, when the final turn was made
amounted to $162. There was no bluff
ing and each of the twenty-five ante
ed up without question when his turn
came, without calling for another deal.
Thirteen of the gamesters answered to
Chinese names and nine were sons Of
Nippon.
Frank Peterson alias Manuel Dirigo,
pleaded guilty to drunkenness, his on
iy regret seeming to be that his spree
was over. The five days on the reef
prescribed for him were thankfully re-
ceived. Four other DRINKS paid fires.
f. C. Kane pleaded guilty to having
beaten Mary Garnda and his acknoWl

Kouko, for cruelty to animals. was
assessed $40, his offense having been
driving horse with too big a load.
Palenapa, who has been held for in
vestigation for some days and who was
supposed to have some connection with
some of the sneak thievery of recent
date, was charged finally with larceny
in the second degree, a nol-pros be-
ing entered yesterday. Palenapa is the
native who accused the police about
a year ago with having sweated him
and having Jared some Of his ribs
loose in the cross examinat ton. The
truth of his accusations We're never
proven.
J. D. Moore, of the Palace restaurant,
was up on charge of having served
intoxicating liquors on Sunday, the
previous day. The case went over. The,
circumstances are that Moore was put
ting some beer and bottle OF gin in
a gunny sack to be delivered to a wait
ing hack. The Palace proprietor
claims that the hack had been order

the drinkables out to his home.

JULY RECORD Of
PUNISHED CRIME
Convictions Number More Than
Arrests for Same Month
Last Year.

The year 1907 is going to be a hard
| one ON the Iawless element of Homo
| lulu. Not only has there been an nm
usual increase in tIe number of ar
rests SO far this year.. but there has
been a most unusual increase in the
number of convictions For the one
month of July, Just past, the difference
between the number of arrests and the
number during July of last year
amounts to f31, or fffty-four per cent.
The figures are: July 1906, 244: JULY
1907 375. In convictions obtained a
gain of eighty-one per cent. over last
year is noted, there having been 22s
this year and 164 last year. The con-
victions alone this year were ffty-five
more than the total arrests of the year
before
One striking thing about the statis-
ties of crime, as gathered from the
police records, is that last month the
japanese crowded the Chinese from
first place in the gambling column.
Out of total conviction of 1872 cases.
the japanese paid penalties in fifty
two cases, four more than the Chi
nese. Outside of these two Oriental
races the police convicted but two
others for toying with chances, these
two being Hawaiians.
The reverse of these figures is found
in the convictions for drunkenness,
where the Hawaiians outnumber the
Orientals by six to one, the figures be-
ing Hawafians SO, japanese and Chi
nese 2. Haole offenders outnumber all
others in this, forty-eight being con-
victed
Assault and battery is another thing
in which the haoles come up strong,
second to the Hawaffans. Out |
Of total of twenty-seven convictions
the races divided as follows: Hawai- |
lans, 8; haoles, 8; Japanese, Z, and |

The Cor ronef's Inquest.

Everything was serene at
RHEIMS yesterday and it is hop
ed and believed that the trouble
has quieted down. 'At the in.
quest over the remains Of Tony
Scott, held by Magistrate Geo.
B Nesmith, there were about 15C
white men, besides the George
town Rifle Guards, and only a.
bout 20 negroes were to be seen.
The coroner's jury, on the testi,
mony of physicians who had
attended the deceased negro.
brought in a verdict that Scott
died from natural causes, as he
had for a long time suffered
from heart disease.

RACE RIOT THREATENED
At RHEIMS.
KILLING OF NEGRO IN WILLIAMSBURG
AROUSES BLACKS --SHERIFfS GRA-
HAM and SCURRY RESPOND.

GEoRGETowN, May 20:--In
response to telegram from
RHEIMS stating that race riot
was Imminent. there, Sheriff I
W Scurry and a small posse OF
citizens set out early this morn
ing by private conveyance for
the seat of the disturbance.
Telephone reports later in the
day were TO the effect that con-
ditions were not nearly so
threatening and that things
were apparently assuming a
normal state. Fears are still
felt that the outward show of
quietude may be a mask for
some ugly disturbances during
the night, and the white men,
who in that locality are numer-
ically about one to fifty blacks,
are prepared for any emergen-
cy.
The disturbance started with
personal encounter on Satur-
day night between one OF the
clerks in F Rhem & Sons big
store and a negro by the name
of Tony Scott, who was acting
in an insolent and unruly man
ner. A number of other white
men took part in the affair and
the result was that the negro
died from the injuries sustained
in the fight.
The funeral took place on
Sunday and four or FIVE hun
dred negroes, it is said, COM
posed the funeral cortege, VOW
ing vengeance against all white
people for the deed that had
been committed.
These threats and the surly
looks of the blacks are the
cause of apprehension among
the white people, many OF whom
are scattered in remote and lso-
lated places throughout the
neighborhood.
Capt H B Springs, command
ing the Heorgetown Rife Guards,
telegraphed as follows to Gov
ernor Ansel today:

REPORT FROM RHEIMS.
Last Account Says Everything Has
Ouieted Down.

RHEIMS, May 20;-9 m-Spe'
cial: Everything is quiet at
this hour. Sheriffs Scurry,
Georgetown, and Graham, OF
Williamsburg, have handled the
situation admirably. There are
about one hundred and twenty
FIVE men here with rifles, shot
guns and pistols ready to re-
pulse any attack made by the
negroes. The many threats
made by the negroes have
wrought the whites up to a
high pitch, but they are main
tanning order and will not mo-
lest the negroes unless they
try to carry out their purpose.
1t was not necessary to call
out the Rifle Guards. About
twenty citizens from George
town came up today. The
whites are being reinforced ev-
cry few minutes and probably
the number will reach two hun
dred by 10 o'clock. The neg
roes are dispensing and no trou'
bic is expected now, unless re-
newed later.-News & Courier.

That the present school auditorium
is wholly inadequate for the purpose
intended was very thoroughly de-
monstrated last Monday night when
over a hundred people had to return
home without seeing the exercises of
commencement. If We are to have
a first class school it is up to the
people of Kingstree to remedy this
deficiency against the opening Of the
fall term.
