Many of the Democratic news
papers are now demanding the
resignation Of Governor Haskell,
treasurer of National Democratic
Committee, because of his alleg-
ed connection with the corrupt
practices of the Standard Oil
Company. Haskell denies the
allegations and invites Hearst to
submit the proof to a committee
of editors named by Haskell, but
this Hearsthas declined. Whether
the charge against Haskell is
true or false, Hearst cites rec
ords as filed by the ex-Attorney
general Monnett who made an
affidavit now on tile in the Okla
homa courts that Haskell at
tempted to bribe him and thwar-
ted action against this great
trust. Both Bryan and Taft must
be greatly embarrassed to find
their lieutenants professional
grafters and corruptionlsts. Exit

we contended for that change
long ago, but the issue and the
only issue is. Shall the name OF
the school be changed?
The donators Of the property
in question, rather than obstruct
the public good. agreed to the
change, when they learned there
was opposition to the name: but
there are others that are inter-
ested, and who have IN the past
manifested a public spirit VINO
feel that changing the name OF
the institution would be a grave
injustice, and do not want 1t done,
unless it is the wish OF the ma
jority.
We therefore urge the opposl-
ton to join in a request to the
trustees to ask for an election,
and if a majority express by their
ballots for a change in the name
of the school, all will bow
gracefully. If such an election
stirs up bitterness none would
deplore it more than the writer;
the springing Of the issue was
unfortunate, BUTT was not OF our
making: nor, so for as we are IN
formed, was it the making Of
those who had to struggle for a
school in Manning. when the
prospect for scholastic advantag-
es were dark and gloomy:
No question can be settled un-
til it is settled right, and those
of US who expressed grateful
ness when the property was do-
mated with it's conditions, want
to go on record that our graft
tude then was not a lip.servlce
for the time being, but everlast-
inc. We feel that when we &C
cepted the gift with its condi-
tions, we were honoring the
memory of a man whose memory
deserves being kept alive in the
hearts Of coming generations, and
we are unwilling to acqulese IN
a movement that does not repre-
sent this sentiment.
AS a publicist, citizen and tax
payer, a patron of the school
from it's beginning and one who
accepted this generosity Of the
Lewis, we urge the trustees of
school district No. 9, not to
change the name Of the school,.
without first giving the voters an
opportunity to declare their wish
es. We repeat there is no ques-
ton about the transfer of title.
the only question is, shall the
name of the school be changed:
If this be "twaddle, those who
so think may make the most OF
it. What has been written by US
on this subject not only express
es our individual views, but it
voices the views Of many who
have expressed themselves on
the matter; therefore, we are will
ing for the test to be made wheth-
er it be our s:twaddle" or Doctor

FEW CONFESS, ALL DENY.

Governor Haskell of Oklahoma
has challenged William R. Hearst
to appear before a committee of
five newspaper editors. submit
the proof of his charges, and if
the charges are sustained Haskell
Will withdraw his connection with
the presidential campaign. 1t is
now up to Hearst to put up or
shut up. Hearst has stated from
the outset the charges are not of
his own making, but that they
are based upon information, the
records, and letters. We look for
interesting developments in the
present national campaign. al
ready the indications are that
Senator Foraker will be proven
a corruptionist, and that he is
dowa and out. He has cancelled
his speaking engagements, and
it is said when Taft's friends ad-
vised him to take the iniative in
the cancelling of Foraker's en-
gagements Taft replied. ''If it
would win me every vote in the
United States, | cannot hit a man
when he is down.
The alleged revelations made
by Mr.. Hearst will cast a shadow
upon the future Of a number OF
prominent men of both parties.
Haskell's challenge may be al
right, but many think it a great
big bluff, because tits known that
Hearst is no fool, and is fnan-
cially responsible, and is also
amenable to the criminal law,
therefore he will handle the
characters of men carefully, and
be sure of his ground. The nam
ing of the committee to hear the
proof by Governor Haskell has
not added strength to his vehe-
ment denial. A man charged as
is Haskell may deny, but he can
not dictate who shall receive the
proof and who shall write the
verdict. Where Hearst got his
evidence makes no difference.
He may have stolen it, he may
have bought it. The question
is, Guilty or not guilty:

The announcement of ED De-
Camps candidacy for clerk OF
the Senate, is not at all surpris-
ing, because two years ago ne
was about to run for the position,
and was persuaded from his pur-
pose by friends of General Hemp,
hill, who pleaded with him that
if he would let the old General
have another term he could count
on their support the next time.
The writer is one of those who
made this promise, expecting OF
course, General HemphilL would
realize that Father Time was
getting in his work upon him,
and would not embarass his
friends by standing for another
term. but we have missed our
count, General Hemphill is can
didate, and while we have the
highest regard for him, we think
the place requires a younger
man, and will therefore support
DeCamp.

The Effort Of His Life q Failure.

ne Elliott 0l Ei1O q
". S. Gilbert had novel experience
before he wrote for the stage, when
be was a barrsster waiting for his first
brief. 1t was long in coming, and
when it did come Mr.. Gilbert deter
mined, of course, to make the effort Of
his life.
He was intrusted With the prosecu-
ton Of an old Irish woman for stealing
a coat, and when he began the speech
that be had prepared and rehearsed so
carefully, the old dame at once began
to interject: "Oh, ye divil, sit DOWN.
"Sure, now, he's loier, yer honor" "Sit
down, ye spalpeen!" Hes known to
all the perlice, yer honor" After some
minutes Of this abuse Gilbert asked
the recorders intervention, but that Of
fetal was too busy laughing. So the
effort of his life was not success.

until marketed will hold out bet
ter than one allowed to remain
in the weather subject to climatic
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 railroad
stations in the mud and rain. or
you will see it lying on the
ground around farm houses,
where it will remain unit! ready
for market, and when marketed.
the bagging will be so rotten that
you cannot handle the cotton.
Owing to the seeming negli-
gence displayed in the care Of
cotton after ginning, the buyer,
when purchasing lot Of cotton,
has to take into consideration the
element of damage, or he would
rather send his classer to receive
the cotton, thereby establishing
the amount of damage before
payment is made. Where you
find a section of country where
great care is taken with the cot.
ton after ginning, and before
marketing. there you will find
cotton sought after by the buy
ers, and everything else being
equal: a premium will be paid for
same.
The manufacturers will pay
better prices for cotton free from
rot and country damage, because
his percentage of waste will be
decreased.
The point I desire to impress
is; take care of your cotton,
handle it as though you thought
something of it. If You cannot
put it in a warehouse where it is
insured and you can use the re.
ceipt, put it in your barn, or shed
room, or anywhere to keep ii
from climatic conditions until
you market it, and by doing this
every pound will be spinnable
and no dissatisfaction between
droducer, buyer and manufactur.
er will result.
There are some places in South
Carolina where warehouse facili
ties are adequate, but are unfor
tunately not utilized. My own
experience is that four lots o1
cotton out of every five shipped
from places where cotton is moi
warehoused are badly damaged
due to the fact that it is allowed
to sit on one end for weeks and
months in the open before it is
offered for sale, and as a result,
heavy claims are made, and ye'
the best character of cotton, SC
far as body and staple is concern
ed, is produced at these places
and would be very much sought
we're the element of damage
eliminated.
In conclusion, [ would stongly
urge that this matter be brought
to the attention of all concerned
and thereby save twelve and one
half million dollars per year tx
the southland.
Very truly yours,

The recent slump in cotton is
having a depressing effect upon
farmers generally, but when they
consider the strikes in the Eu-
ropean mills and the number OF
factories closed down they can
readily account for the market
conditions having a downward
tendency. These Interruptions
are but temporary, but as long as
there are labor agltations
in the manufacturing cen.
tiers, just so long will
there be labor troubles. The
present strike has thrown thous-
ands and thousands of people out
of work, millions Of spindles are
idle. and there can not be under
the circumstances a demand for
the raw material, hence the price
is fixed by the speculator and is
down.
