Bryan'S Chances.

The New York Sun which is sup
porting Taft, and therefore cannot
be accused of partiality towards
Bryan, sent staff correspondent
out to canvas the political situation.
The Sun reluctantly admits that this
correspondent found Bryan's
chances far better than he expected
to find them, and presents some of
the causes that lead to this conclu-
sion. The correspondent asserts
that local quarrels in the Central
States and a possible drift Of the
radical Republican element in the
Middle West, away from Taft to-
ward Bryan constitute the Chief
Republican dangers; while Demo
Gratis, reunited, are in a good posi-
ton to take advantage of the num-
erically superior enemy's difficult
ties.
The correspondent goes on to say
that the Republicans in nearly every
state are torn by division. In Ohio
and Indiana the principal division is
over liquor legislation. Further
West the progressive" and "reac-
tionaries" form two hostile camps.
In Wisconsin and beyond the Mis-
sissippi sectionalism and fadicalisln
combine to produce conditions
which might eventuate in a stam-
pede should the Republican national

Campaign Funds Needed.

The outlook for Bryan and Kern
is bright, and we believe that they
will be elected. But, as the Colum-
bia Record says, the great need just
now of the Democratic party is a
campaign fund. Without such
fund sufficiently large to meet all
expenses there is no use counting on
favorable conditions and the proph-
ecies of success, Here is something
within the province of all Demo-
Gratis to do, to contribute literally
to this campaign fund, or as much
as each can afford. Unlike, the Re-
publican party, the Democratic par
ty, which is the party of the people,
has no big trusts and corporations
upon which to levy tribute to meet
expenses in carving on the fight.
The '.sinews of war" must come
from the people themselves, This
fight for Democracy is their fight.
and, if they are as desirious for it's
success ;it: as they seem to be, they
will respond to the calls for contri-
buttons that are being made.
II should be borne in mind that
the Republican party also expresses
itself as being confident of victory,
hut it is not depending wholly on
that confdence.s 1t realizes that it
has hasa a big fight on its. hands and is
doing everything it can to multiply
its chances of success. 1t is show
no apathy or Indifference. 1t is
making the best it can out of a bad
cause, and unless the Democrats ex.
ert themselves to the utmost the
bad cause stands to win. This is a
fact which, ne roseate Democratic
forecasts can obliterate. The vic
tory of Democracy depends alto
pether on work and money. but
mostly on money for the work can
not be done without the money:
This is true, and we nope the DEM
ocrats of Orangeburg County will
contribute literally to the campaign
fund of their party. Send or bring
YOUR contributions to.The Times and
Democrat.

Bryffn on the Tariff.


Bryan made a great speech on the
tariff at Des Moines, Iowa, last
week. Even the Republican press
is forced to praise the speech. The
New York Sun! speaks of "the di-
rectness and suavity of statement
and clearness Of argument which
distinguished this and other recent
addresses ofsM Bryan" while the
New York Times pronounces it "the
most effective and the soundest
speech" Mr.. Bryan has ever made.
HE marshals, continues The
Times, 1.-The admissions and the
avowals of representatives of the
protected interests. the arguments
and appeals of manufacturers now
convinced of the necessity of revis-
ion, the principles enunciated by
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Mckinley in
support of his position that the time
has come to reduce the customs i'm
posts. Much that he says is quite
beyond disproof or denial 1t can
not be denied that the bargain be-
tween the protected interests and
the Republican party is corrupt and
fiagitious, and has imposed great
and Unnecessary burdens upon. the
people for the benefit of few. He
reminded his Iowa audience that
when Mr.. John Sharp Williams, the
Democratic leader in the house in
troduced a bill providing for re-
duction to 100 per cent. ad valorem
of all duties now in excess of that
figure the Republicans refused even
to have the bill reported from the.
committee" The State says these
estimates of Mr.. Bryan serve chief
ly to show thai our friends of the
pvnhlican p"eSs nave NJ. Ann'cias q
,n.. IurcrI ,,l.iu: ) l -. M, rn'., ii
so, that Mr.. Bryan has grown Will
the years and with his great oppor-
tunities." But is it not remarkable
that such papers as the Times and
the Sun will continue to support
Taft and the Republican policies on
the tariff in the face of the admis-
sions they make above.

Tariff q Winning Issue.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot re-
minds the Democrats that Indiana
has voted the Democratic ticket
three times since the war, and on
each occasion the issue was tariff
for revenue as opposed to a tariff
for fostering the trusts. 1t has also
been pointed out that Illinois has
been won for Democracy once, when
the fight was on the Mckinley pro
tective" tariff. New Jersey went
Democratic eight times, and lost the
ninth race when the tariff issue was
abandoned or relegated to second
place. AS to New York, upon which
much expectation is based this year,
that State went Democratic twice
on the tariff issue; and Ohio and
Michigan have been solidly Repub-
lican except when Mr.. Cleveland, in
1892. made the tariff issue the chief
one IN his campaign, and split the
electoral vote Of both States. We
agree with the Columbia State that
the conclusion from the facts seems
to be inevitable. The tariff must be
fought and fought hard in this elec-
ton,

campaign show "reactionary" note
or the East be at all glorifed. AS
for some years past, there is a astrong
Republican element which feels
tempted to act with the Democrats
against the standpatter. In combl-
nallon with local ;,nG special dlssen'
tions this feeling has distinct posi-
bilitles. fractional fights have al
ready established lines of cleavage
and injected many bitter personall-
ties. Democrats on the contrary
are getting together as never be-
fore in years. and everywhere there
is found a marked movement back
to the party alignment by men who
have long been outside' 1t is well
argued that a general situation like
this must worry the Republican
managers very considerably. And,
then, there is the apathy of conser-
vative Republicans toward Mr.. Taft:
his candidacy, has failed to arouse
that enthusiasm which the Repub-
licans usually manage to throw into
a national campaign.
Some undertake to explain. de-
clares the Suns correspondent,
mainly by saying that Mr.. Roose'
velt has ''Bryanized the Republican
party" and so, as between Roose-
Welt candidate and Mr.. Bryan him.
self, excite ment is we'll nigh lmpos-
sible. Under such circumstances
Mr.. Bryan his own party harmon.
Gus, should derive large benefit
from Republican quarrels. Hls
chance in the Central States---Whlch
means virtually Indiana---rests, sole
ly on his possible advantage as a
beneficiary of local Issues. One OF
ting most impressive possibilities
which this correspondent encountet1
ed is the chance of a Democratic
congress- There is hardly a state,
he says, which did not show EVIL
dence of Democratic congress, ,galns'
the factionsl fight among Repupll-
cans seems 20 assure this. There is
a manifes' possibility of the election
of Democ;a ic governors in Indiana
Ohio and Kansas. He also notes the
not too remote possibility OF Dem
ocratic sers,prs in Ohio and lndl-
ana" The above is the plain state
ments of man who has investlgat-
ed for himsnIf, and who no doubt
made the situation as hopeful Tor
the Republican party as ne could
as he was writing for Republican
paper. Yet as he saw things, bry'
ans chances are good.

for what he had already made. When
this cotton was conditioned for
market. he had about ten bales of
merchantable cotton left out of the
twenty. a bale of cotton ginned dry
and housed until marketed will hold
out better than one allowed to re-
main in the weather subject to eli
mate conditions, and will not possess
the element of damage and will also
retain it's strength Of staple even to
the bagging.
Travel where you will, and you
will see cotton sitting at the railroad
stations in the mud and rain, or you
will see it lying ION the ground
around farm houses, where it will
remain until ready for market, and
when marketed, the bagging will be
so rotten that you can not handle
the cotton.
Owing to the seeming negligence
displayed in the care of cotton after
ginning, the buyer, when purchasing
lot of cotton, has to take into con-
sideration the element of damage,
or he would rather send his classer
to receive the cotton, thereby estab-
fishing the amount of damage be-
fore payment is made. Where you
find a section of country where great
care is taken with the cotton, after
ginning, and before marketing, there
you will find cotton sought after by
the buyers, and everything else being
equal, a premium will be paid for
same.
The manufacturers will pay bet
ter prices for cotton free from rot
and country damage, because his
percentage of waste will be decreas-
ed.
The point I desire to impress is,
take care of your cotton, handle it
rs though you thought something
cf it. IF you cannot put 1t in ware

keep it from climatic conditions un-
til you market it. and By doing this
every pound will be spinnable and no
dissatisfaction between producer.
buyer, and manufacturer will result.
There are some places in South
Carolina where warehouse facilities
are adequte, but are unfortunately
not utilized. My own experience is
that four lots of cotton out Of every
five shipped from places where cotton
is not warehoused are badly DAM
aged, due to the fact that 1t Is allow
ed to sit on one end for weeks and
months in the open before 1t is Of
fered for sale, and as result, heavy
claims are made, and yet the best
character of cotton. so far as body
and staple is concerned, IS produced
at these places, and would be very
much sought. were the element OF
damage eliminated.
In conclusion, I would strongly
urge that this matter be brought to
the attention of all concerned, and
thereby save twelve and one half
million dollars per year - the
southland. Very truly yours.

norton TO the time it is allowed to
remain exposed to climate conditions.
To illustrate, bale cotton sinneo
and packed December first and al
lowed to remain in the weather until
the first of March, will have about
half as much country damage as the
same bale would have if it remained
in the weather until May the first,
and when the manufacturer opens
this bale, he will find that the cotton
sticking to the bagging and extending
inward is practically without any
strength of staple, and as a result all
of this affected cotton will go IN
waste, or be found in the shaftlng
overhead. Should the buyer de-
tect this country damage the farm
er is the looser; should the buyer
not detect it. the buyer is the looser;
in any event, dissatisfaction is the
result all of which could have been
avoided by housing the cotton. The
amount of country damage varies IN
proportion to the time the cotton lies
ont in the weather, and will vary
from three to twenty-five pounds per
bale. l have carefully estimated
that on every 100000 bale crop
produced, the producer, the carrier
and the compress together. allow
$50. 900 bales to be destroyed by rot
and country damage, and when you
figure this at ten cents per pound
It amounts to s12,500.OO, all OF
which could be served to the pur-
ducer, the buyer, and the manufac-
turer, should they exercise the pro-
per precaution against damage. Three
wears ago a farmer brought twenty
hales of cotton to the warehouse for
storage in March. which had been
out in the weather since 1t was GIN

The True Issue.

The Columbia Record says II the
Democratic party, which goes into
the fight under favorable conditions S
fails of victory this year, Its Gays
are numbered. 1t must inevitably
fall to pieces and a new party take
its place. The campaign that IS
now on is therefore big with fate.
On its issue depends whether or not
popular government shall endure IN
this country. We are close to the
parting of the wsys--~one OF whlcn
means a government of the people
BY the people and for the people;
and the other, to which the country
has been tending for years, means a
government under imperial rule,
with its standing army. OF several
hundred thousand men, its ever IN
creasing naval power, its Internal
ional policy, and its class distinctions
brought about through the posses
session of vast wealth and letters
patent creating nobility. Such IS
the issue to be decided, and it is
left to the people for this time only
TO choose what it shall be, for never
again, if the road of Imperialism is
taken will they have the opportuni-
ty of expressing a peaceful choice"
