Cotton Used in the South.

The New York Commercial and
Financial Chronicle says the s!rices
the South has taken IN cotton man
ufacturing in recent years and: the
comparatively moderate decline IN
the volume Of consumption last sea-
son is certainly cause for satisfac-
ton and qualification. Fro.n an
average weekly consumL1ion OF l:ss
than 5000 bales per week thirty
years ago-in 1S77-78-rhere was
steady and quite rapid advance
until in the early part OF 1so7-"S
it reached nearly $4,000 bales and
averaged for the season !notWith-
standing the general decline IN all
business in the more recent months)
almost 43, 900 bales.
In the meantime Northern con-
sumption, which in 1878 averaged
2S.5O0 bales, rose to an averaEe
slishtly more than 41.00O bales in
1so7-Os. Or. dealing in totals rath-
er than averages, the South consum-
ed $4,000 bales in 1S77-7S' ad
yancing to 443,373 bales 10 years
later, 1,227,s3s bales in 1928
and 2,2a4,3e5 bales in 1so?-0s, tie
aggregate in 1eo6-o7 having been
2,4S7,0S8 bales. :.
The excellent showing under ad
verse circumstances made last sea-
son led US to remark in our annuai
report that Southern cotton millS
have done relatively better than
those at the North, the decrease IN
the volume of consumption having
been comparatively moderate. IL
thus happens that, for the drst time
since cotton manufacturing became
an established indu-try OF the South
the mills Of that section used more
raw material than was consumed by
Northern Establishments
The advance thus far made, fur
thermore, can be taken as Indicative
Of the progress yet to be made when
warranted by Industrial conditions.
And 1t is not without the range OF
nossibilities that the not very II!
distant future will find the South
with its natural advantage OF con
tiguity to sources Of supply outranK'
ing in cotton manufacturing proml-
nence most Of the worlds centres OF
activity in the industry.

Ben Tillman Tried Him.

The Atlanta Journal says it will
be remembered that Senator McLaur-
in, of South Carolina, was hailed
everywhere in northern. and south
ern commercial cities as the lender
of new Southern moven ent, whicn
he called the Commercial Democ-
racy. All the mercenary papers in
the South took Senator McLaurin
up and patted him on the back anil
gave him many advertisements next
to pure reading matter.
It will be remembered that Sena-
tor Tillman did not take kindly to
his colleagues course. Once in the
Senate, he intimated that a member
of the Senate had been bribed, but
he could go no further as he did not
have the proof. 1t seems that this
proof has been furnished by the
Archbold letters read during the
campaign by Hearst.
In one of his letters to Archbold
Mr.. McLaurin announced to the
Standard Oil magnate that he could
secure his reelection to the Senate
II properly supported; but what
would have been proper support
in New York did not turn out to be
such in South Carolina. The South
Carolina Democrats were so fond o.
Mr.. McLaurin and mis- new idea that
they induced him to remain at home
among them, and sent Mr.. LatimeT
to the Senate to take Mr.. McLaurin 8
place.
In another letter to Archbold from
Mr., McLaurin was report Of a conf
Dental nature. Il thought 1t might
be a friendly act to copy this" he
writes, "and give it to you in strict
confidence. From my isolated po-
sition cannot say whether it Is
worth the ink or not. 1t will show,
anyway, that am not unmindful of
your various kind actions towards
me-" Now what were those va
rious kind actions" Were they
checks, or what?
The Baltimore American says III
is fortunate for South Carolina that
she got rid of MeLaurin before he
was found out. For possibly the
South Carolinans suspected what
kind of work he was doing IN tLe
United States Senate and declined
to send him back. If so all the more
honor to South Carolina" Senator
Tillman first started the war on NC
Laurin, and as soon as the people
comprehended that his Commercial
Democracy" was nothing more than
galvanized Republicanism, McLaurih
name was Dennis.

Controlling the Price Of Cotton.

The Anderson Mail says right
now is the time for the farmers 10
begin to prepare to control the price
Of cotton in the fall of 1909. For
several years the farmers have tried
to set the price on their cotton after
thew have made it after the crop
was ready for market. And each
time they have failed. Hey Will
fail every time they try it.
THE simple ruth Of the matter Is
tha, the farmer who produces roth
ing but cotton cannot regulate the
price of his cotton. He is forced 10
sell cotton to buy supplies for his
farm and to pay debts, and being i'll
that position he is forced to take
whatever the buyer offers him. There
is 10 help for it.
But the farmer who raises his
own supplies. and raises cotton as i
surplus, can take his own time about
selling his cotton. If the price Of
fered him in the fall does not suit
him he can wait until it DOES suit
him. And if he does not owe nt;;ney
there is no power on earth t. ~m,k&
him saiT his -iiis. Cotton 0tton vi hen he does
not want to do SO.
"And now is the time TO make pre-,
parations for controlling the price OF

Here Are Facts.

We clip the following from the
Bamberg Herald of last week:
We notice that the OrangebuFg
Times and Democrat says it was
offered some Of the Standard Oil
Company money. We hope Editor
Sims will tell who offered it to
him, the amount offered, and the
/, conditions accompanying the Of
fer. -. -,-..-.s.--,.4,,
1T will be remembered that Mr.
McLaurin launched his Commercial
Democracy scheme in speech at
Charlotte during the summer OF
1902. The Sunday following the
delivery of that speech, friend OF
Senator McLaurin's visited us in the
interest of the Senator. He said the
Senator could not understand why
we were then opposing him whel
we had supported him so warmly
when he was elected to the Senate
few years before. We replied that
we were a Democrat. The gentle
man answered that SO was Senate"
McLaurin. We then said that he was
not our kind of a Democrat.
He then remarked that he thought
we misunderstood the Senator's po-
sition, and said that Senator Nc
Laurin had requested him to come
and see US. That the Senator wanted
US to publish all his speeches and
letters and draw on him at the rate
of s25 per column. We answered
that we intended to publish all Of
the Senator's speeches and letters
that would be of. interest to the
public, but we most respectfully de-
clined receiving any pay from Senator
McLaurin for so doing. When h.
had the above conversation with
Senator sMcLaurin's friend the
speech the Senator had made in
Charlotte was then in type in our
Office and was published the next
week in The Times and Democrat
and the ready prints" we get out.
Had we accepted Senator McLaurin's
offer, we could have drawn on him
for 500 for publishing that article,
but we could not see how we could
accept the Senator's money for pub
llshing news matter and feel free o
oppose him. So we declined his kind
offer.
During that year we published 3
great deal Of the Senator's speeches,
and had we accepted pay for them
on the terms proposed by the Sena-
tor through his friend, we would
have made a very handsome thing
out of 1t from financial point OF
view. We do not know where the
Senator got the money from that he
offered US, but we hardly thought
it came out of his pocket, and since
it has transpired that he was on in
innate terms with the Stanard Oil
people we infer he got the. money
from them. We decline to divulgc
the name of the Senator's friend who
came to see US, as we are satisfied
that he at that time had no idea
that the Senator was dickering with
the great oil trust. He was very
warm friend Of the Senator's then
and came to see US In his interest
as such. These are the cold facts
and the Herald can 1ta~ its own
conclusion.

Subsidizing the Press.

Hearst read his last batch of
Standard Oil letters in New York on
Saturday night. He held them back
to the close OF the campaign pur-
.posely as he knew their publication
would have been most beneficial to
the Democratic party, which stands
for honest government. .As The
State says, had he month ago
given to the American people the
documentary evidence that not only
have the trusts been buying sena-
tors, but that they have corrupted
the press, the party Of protection,
the mother of trusts, would be fore
doomed to defeat.
'''In the letters read by Hearst 1t
is shown that The Manufacturers
Record Of Baltimore and The South
ern Farm Magazine, published by
The Manufacturers Record, were
paid $4,000 by Archbold-and the
$1,000 to The Southern Farm Mag
azine seems to have been an annual
SUBSIDY. 1t appears also that DE-.
Ganter, editor of Gunter's Magazine,
established as an organ for protec-
r,on, was paid $4,000 at one time
by the lavish Standard Oil. It Is
OF record, too, where payment Of
Sl,25o was made to the Pittsburg
Times-perhaps quarterly stipend.
THE plan of the Republican con-
gresham, Joseph c. Sibley. to sub
sldize not only individual publica-
tions, but the Associated Press,
which serves many hundreds OF
newspapers with the news of the
world, is also revealed in letter
stolen from Archbold and made pub
lie by Hearst.
when few letters taken at ran
dom from the file of q Standard Oil
official reveal this condition Of rot
tenness, what would be the stencil
If all were known? How many
members of both branches Of con-
gress has Standard Oil bought? How
many magazines and newspapers has
Standard Oil subsidized? And Ii
one trust has done SO much, what
have the combined predatory inter
ests done? What is the aggregate
of the corruption fund employed py
the Harrimans and the Hills, by the
coal trust and the steel trust, and
- Wochi n o.
ton correspondents are unbought?
how many newspapers are free?
"A free press is the paladin of 4
peoples liberties, but what OF the
peoples liberties If the press, sup
posed to be free, is owned by en-
emies of popular government? Theri
is not Bryan advocate among th3
newspapers of Washington, Baltl-
more, Boston, New York, st. Louis,
Cincinnati, and Chicago. Yet he IS
the candidate of great party, and
will be supported tomorrow by more
than six and half million voters!
When The State, fighting for Bry-
ans nomination last spring, said
that one reason we wished him nonl-
mated was >aSIse of our xn5wt-
edge that powerful influences in Wall
street were financing the anti-Bryan
campaign, and were endeavoring 10
create sentiment against him, there
were simple ones that doubted. But
1t was f.ue-as true as it is that
millions have been poured into the
republican party's treasury to de-

around the farm that will put
the farm in better condition and
make it more productive next year
ITO put it plainly, the farmer who
spends the whole fall season grumb-
ling about the price of cotton will In
all likelihood have to do the same
thing next year. Complaints alone
never righted any wrong, however
great the wrong.
1.-The farmers can control the price
Of cotton, but they cannot do 1t by
talking. To regulate it they must
commence a year ahead, and now is
the time to commence If they want
to control the price next year"
