DRUMMERS TO HELP FARMERS.
Movement Started to Raise Money for
Holding Cotton.

Columbia, October 31.-A meeting of
travelling men was held at the Caldwell
Hotel tonight, over which Mr.. Harry
Calhoun presided, the object of the
meeting being to start a movement by
which the travelling men of the South
should assist the farmers to hold their
cotton for better prices.
1t was proposed that fifteen thou
sand travelling men pledge themselves
to put up a thousand dollars each, and
to secure an additional thousand dollars
each, the sum thus raised to be loaned
the farmers on warehouse receipts at
six per cent.
This would mean a fund of thirty
thousand dollars, which would be sufi-
cient to hold one million bales of cotton
at thirty dollars per bale, or six cents
per pound.
There were a number Of prominent
men present by invitation, including
Gov. Hayward, Col. George tombstone,
Hon. Francis H.. Weston, Hon. F. H.
Hyatt, Congressman Lever, Finley and
Ellerbe, Mr.. j. E. Wannamaker and
others, most of whom made speeches.
There was a large crowd of travelling
men present. Several of the travelling
men expressed themselves enthusiastic
cally in favor of the scheme, and it
was proposed to urge the matter by
wire upon the travelling men through
the T. p. A. and U. G. Il. organiza-

play was refined and full of fun from
beginning to end. The chorus was ex-
ceptionally good, containing some fine
voices.
The hit of the evening was the Tus-
cana Brothers, w~orld-famous Roman
battle axe jugglers.
The performance ended with some
thing new in the minstrel line, a Dark
town circus. Animals such as bears,
camels, elephants, CRATES, horses, ETC.. Z,
were introduced. 1t was a very conf
cal affair, making a hit with everyone
and being a fitting climax to the eve

A RECORD OF BLOOD.
Since July LIST 95 Homicides Have
Occurred in South Carolina.

Occurred in South Carolina.
The frequency Of homicides in South
Carolina is simply appalling. During
the seven days ending with last Satur-
day there were reported in the daily
papers fourteen homicides, that were
committed in the State during the
week, and nine other cases of assault
with deadly weapons, shooting, etc.
During the nine weeks preceding last
Saturday there were fifty-four homi-
cides committed in this State, and re-
ported in the daily papers.
Since July 1 last, when we began to
keep a careful record of reported kill.
ings in South Carolina, there have beer
ninety-five homicides reported.
1t has been a common remark con.
corning homicides in South Caroline
chat the larger number of them were
ordinary "nigger killings" In the
ninety-five cases which have occurred
since the first of July this has not beer
true. Of the dead men fifty-one were
whites and forty-four were negroes.
OF the slayers, by a singular coinci
dence, the figures are just reversed

a strong and progressive one, so it is a
significant fact that they are talking
new church. There is no doubt they
will build a handsome one.
The presence in town of a "Clean,
high-class carnival" in other words,
the st. Louis Amusement is
engrossing popular interest. The tents,
ferris wheel, merry-go-round, and the
rest of the paraphernalia, are set up on
the vacant lot on North Broad street
facing the residence of Mr.. j.. A Bailey.
No dread Of scarlet fever or other dan

ing generation from viewing the won

The Rev. Lewis Fowler delivered a
most interesting lecture on the early

"PROTECT THE COTTON MARKET"
Southern Cotton Association Officials
Issue an Address.

The following has been issued by
President Harvie Jordan and Secretary
Will H. Wood, of the Southern Cotton
Association:
Headquarters Southern Cotton Asso.
citation, Atlanta, October %, 1907
The United States, and especially the
South, must depend upon the present
cotton crop to protect the financial stu.
alton and maintain values this season.
The variation of one cent a pound in
the price of cotton means a loss or q
gain Of sixty millions of dollars in the
currer y of the country. The present
fight for the maintenance of a high
level of prices for spot cotton must be
made on the broad and businesslike
principles advocated by the Southern
Cotton Association, which appeals for
the active cooperation and united eff
forts of all the people, no matter what
their business or profession. The cot
ton growers all oyer the South are do
ing their level best to hold back the
staple from an already artificially de.
pressed market. They cannot be ex
pected, single-handled and alone, to
meet and successfully defeat the organ
lied brain and capital of the entire civ.
ilized world, embraced in the spinner,
buyer and speculate. IT is the clear
duty of every banker, I.Nrchant anC
other professional or bush. 5 interest
in the South favorable to Vie mainte.
nance of high prices to line up ~squarely
by the side of the growers in the pres
ent struggle and render such financial
assistance and encouragement as viii
enable the growers to win. Spot cot,
ton is too low, and is being artificially
depressed by manipulation and misrep.
resentation. The financial troubles in
Wall street are purely local, and due
almost entirely to transportation and
the floating Of valueless securities by
some of the banks and trust companies.
If the advice Of the Southern Cotton
Association is adopted, and the present
determination of the farmers to market
the crop slowly is adhered to, the finan-
cial situation in the South will remain
solid and secure We hereby call upon
every business interest in the South to
rally to the present holding movement
1t is the only plan that will win and
force the price of cotton to advance.
The price Of yarns and cotton fabrics
is abnormally high, and the demand FOR
cotton goods practically unlimited. The
price of spot cotton under existing
trade conditions is abnormally low, and
the supply Of the raw material will
undoubtedly be deficient from the pres
ent crop to meet the heavy demand OF
consumption during the next twelve
months.
Hold fast, and if any selling is done
let the movement to market be slow.
Under this plan the prices advocated
by the Association will be realized.
Yours truly,
HARVIE JORDAN, President.

minds Of those who have watched with
interest the progress OF affairs in Rus
STA; II surprise there be, II Is that the
elimination has been averted for so
long a time,
The man was never OF the calibre,
mentally nor physically, OF which

THE lNDETERMINATE SENTENCE

For the first time since the law pro-
viding for indeterminate sentences
for criminals in Oregon. has been in
operation, 1t was used yesterday in
Clatsop County by Judge Thomas A.
Mcbride, Of the circuit court, in meet
ing the verdict Of manslaughter rem
dered by the jury against Charles NJ.
Forest, the aged master Of the schoon-
er Annie Larsen, who shot and killed
George Fisher turbulent member of
that vessels crew, in December last.
The law prescribes from one to if
teen years in the penitentiary for the
crime Of manslaughter, and the defen-
dant in question will go to Salem and
be incarcerated, there to remain until
Governor Chamberlain, or one Of his
successors shall decree the termina-
tion Of the penal service for such cause
as shall appeal to him for justifca-
ton. Captain Forest may serve any
part Of the sentence prescribed, and
under the terms of the law, must
abide there for one year at least: af-
ter that 1t will be up to the executive
to mimify the penalty In any degree
he shall see ft.
We cannot but commend the law,
since it serves to give the unintention-
al-law- breaker a chance 10 recover
mis- place among men, and also fur
nishes a predicate for the exercise of
genuine mercy, a quality that happily
goes with the law Of reprIsal and soft
ems the sterner phases of it.
There is always room for the inter-
vention Of forbearance and mercy
as among men; tne complexity Of ex-
istence makes for blunders and faults
and SHINING; circumstances, condlt-
ions and untoward events contribute
nightly in the creating AMI doing of
things that were better left undone,
unsaid and unthought; and it is a
happy feature of any code that miti-
gates the rigor and leaves the way
open for return to normal and ac-
cepted conditions.

fair dealing and honesty against the

REV. LEOPOLD DIELMAN.

At the ripe age Of "a years, Rev.
Leopold Dielman. OF ST. Mary's Cath
ole parish in this city, yesterday
yielded up his devoted life at the sum-
mons Of the Master he had served so
faithfully for long and memorable
years.
He was one Of the pioneer priests Of
the Northwest, known and honoreG
everywhere on the Pacific slope, as a
fine type of the rugged, helpful, pro-
gressive missionaries who contribu-
ted to the upbuilding Of the great en-
pire that stretches from Rockies to
the Western seas. The earlier years
Of his priesthood were. passed among
the vivid scenes and people and cir
cumstances that have wrought the
history and the glory OF the far west
and through all he was the rignt-hand
Of good and of civilization. Every mil
itary commander on the coast in the
early days knew, respected and pro-
tected him. gave him the countenance
of trust and the hand Of welcome. at
all times, and in all places, and did all
they could to mark their appreciation
Of his sturdy, manful tasks and their
patent results for the good of the peo-
pie.
Wise, patient, gentle, yet brave. per-
sistent and enduring, hs worked out
the simple AMI beautiful tenets of his
faith among the scattered thousands
of the emigrant days and left rec
ord Of usefulness and Christian en-
deavor and success, that is today.
among the chiefest monuments Of his
churh in this wide section Of the ma
ton.
