There has long been a distinct line Of
cleavage between the manufacturing
north and the producing south. This
had been manifested in the attempt
to impose a tariff which had caused
qualification, then the compromise,
finally war and then the greatest
crime in the history Of the nation,
the placing Of the burden of taxation
by tariff upon the shoulders OF the
southern white man who had just
been robbed of his slaves and the
wealth of the then prosperous south.
As in warfare there had been given
the helmet for the spear, the armor
plate for the steel-jacketed bullet,
just so in this instance has there at
last been provided an armor to resist
the ancroachmentS of the tyrant
north 1t Is the wall which the south
ern cotton farmers are building
around themselves by means Of or
ganization. The south has a monop-
oily of cotton, and cotton Is a substi-
tute for every other known fibre
silk, wool and fax. The farmer of
the south, by organizing to resist the
bear evil, rather than the boil weevil,
has made an armour plate. Mr..
Smith denounced Wall street to the
satisfaction of the audience and de-
clared that the Southern Cotton as
sociation, of which he, had been field
agent, has driven the bucket shops
into outlawry in the south. The cot
ton farmer is entitled to get better
treatment at the hands Of his govern
ment and to have the grinding tariffs
removed, and in the justice Of God,
the cotton farmer will get Is cents
for his cotton this year. He decried
immigration and declared that it Is a
movement fOstered by the depart
ment Of agriculture at Washington to
increase the cotton acreage and
| therefore to keep the south In servil-
ity by means Of this alien competitive
labor. His peroration was a pledge
Of loyalty to our Godgiven monopoly
King Cotton.

torial candidates were at Manning.

tions, and so has the trade in mary
other articles. The diversion has been
through artificial means, and very
probably because of the failure Of
Charleston to properly look after her
own. But all the same Charleston Is
the natural gateway for the foreign
commerce of the whole South Atlantic
country, both going and coming, and
there is no good reason why 1t should
not again become such Charleston can
do a great deal to recover what has
been lost In fact, Mr.. Rhett has al
ready stirred the old city up along this
line considerably, and we feel quite
sure that as the result Of his cam
paign he will do good work in the in
terror. Whether either Of them get TO
the senate or not, we are looking for
good results from the campaigns of
both Mr.. Smith and Mr.. Rhett.

Rhett and Grace.

While the entrance of Mayor Rhett,
of Charleston, into the senatorial race
was something of a surprise, the en-
trance of Mr.. Grace, Of the same city
was a little more surprising.
1t is explained by Mr.. Hoyt, of the
News and Courier, that Mr.. Grace has
been in political opposition to Mr..
Rhett for some time past and the in
ference is that he is running for the
United States senate principally for the
purpose of embarrassing his enemy.
Mr.. Rhett was reelected mayor of
Charleston last time without opposl-
ton, and outsiders would naturally sup
pose that he was allowed to run with
out opposition for the reason that op-
position was useless. That gave less
reason to look for the present situa-
ton.
The real merits Of the quarrel be-
tween Messrs. Rhett and Grace, or
more properly perhaps, Mr.. Grace's
quarrel with Mr.. Rhett, will no doubt
be developed later on. In the mean
time the News and Courier gives its
view of the situation. as follows:
1.-The choosing Of a United States
senator for South Carolina is not a
Charleston county monopoly. and 1t is
quite possible for candidate to be
nominated in a state primary in South
Carolina without carrying his nome
county. Moreover, it is the proper
boast of a Democracy whose oppor-
tunities are multiplied by the primary
election plan that it offers to every
man the privilege and the right to
go before the people and present his
claims for preferment. No citizen who
avails himself of them is subject to
criticism on that account.
1.-The entrance into the senatorial
contest of a second candidate living in
Charleston will not materially change
the voting in Charleston county. In
the judgment of the News and Courier,
Charleston county is practically solid
and enthusiastic in support of Mayor
Rhett."

AT the opening Of the state campaign
at st. Matthews last Wednesday, DR.
T. H. Dreher the county chairman, fired
some shots at the newspapers for their
alleged opposition to the campaign
meetings. Just what the doctor said
was not reported. and we are in the
dark as to his exact position. We
would remark, however, that about all
the opposition we have noted has been
because of the small attendance and
the heavy expense to the candidates
We have absolutely no objection to the
campaign meetings; but we are Of the
opinion that in practice their educa-
tional value does not measure up to
their theoretical value. So far as the
newspapers are concerned, considering
their selfish interests only, they would
much rather have the meetings than
not

WE like the platform of Mr.. r. G.
Rhett and we like the platform Of Mr.
+. D. Smith. Both are along lines
that have been advocated by The En-
quirer for a great many years. We do
not claim to have been the original eX-
ponent of either platform; but we
heartily approve them both. Through
the tariff on manufactured articles and
through cotton exchanges manipulation
the north has gotten very great ad-
vantage of the south. 1t has been able
to ride us both going and coming, es-
pecially ever since the war. 1t will be
long time before the south will be
able to secure any change in the taritt
policy of this country other than may
have the approval of the north and
west. But by means of thorough or
ganiZation and persistent effort. we can
eventually get the full benefit of our
monopoly in cotton production, and
with cotton at a fair price-al! that II
can reasonably bring-the south Will
have a more certain and lucrative
source Of income than the north will
ever again be able to get out of the
tariff This is not exactly a national
question maybe, but it means more to
the south than any national question
that is now under consideration. And
Mayor Rhetts idea of bringing Charles
ton into closer touch with the back
country and the back country into
closer touch with Charleston is also a
matter of very great Importance to
both. Charleston is one of the best
ports along the Atlantic. In times past
it was the principal market for the
whole Of South Carolina. 1t was such
up to the beginning of the war. Even
since the war it has continued the best
market in the state for cattle and other
produce of the interior. Cotton has
largely been diverted in other direc-

politicians were glad to give the pent-
up enthusiasm of the multitude this
outlet of expression, and at no time
was there the slightest apprehension
among them that the well-deVised

seventeen of the states concurred.

state officers of the Farmers Union
announce tonight that they nave
closed contracts with one of the larg-
est cotton bagging manufacturing
concerns in the United States to fur
nish them with sufficient bagging
made Of low grade cotton. to cover
,. 600. 600 bales of cotton next fall.
This is the result of years of labor,
and the union officers declare it the
biggest undertaking they ever have
accomplished. 1t means a market
for many thousand bales of low grade
cotton. a decidedly better bale and
npatcr covering.

ONE of the principal considerations
that keeps would-be candidates from
going before the people is fear that
they will be beaten. 1t is we'll that
this matter is so ordered, for as a
rule the man who would like TO be a
candidate; but who refrains for this
reason, ought not to be elected. The
men who run because they feel that
they may be of service to their fell
lowmen do not altogether fail in that
service even though they fail of cleo
ton.

CANDIDACY OF Mr.. GRACE.-lt Is
stated in the dispatches from Colum-
bia that Mr.. Grace's candidacy is un-
derstood to be in the interest of John
Gary Evans and for the purpose OF
weakening Mr.. Rhett in Charleston
and the low country. We do not know
if this be true But if this be the pur-
pose of his candidacy, it is a stupid
blunder. for it will neither benefit Mr.
Evans nor injure Mr.. Rhett. 1t will
likewise not benefit Mr.. Grace for il
will be seen by the people of the state
to be a piece of small politics that will
not commend itself to anybody of cleal
and disnterested judgment.-Spartan

THE regulation of cotton gambling is
receiving serious consideration at the
hands of the Louisiana legislature
Senator Mansion has a bill in which
he proposes to require that dealers in
futures must, upon demand, furnish
proof of actual deliveries. The bill
also requires that the grades traded in
must be delivered as specified. There
is a. strong sentiment in favor Of the
bill; but as the entire New Orleans
Cotton Exchange is opposed to it, it
will hardly pass at this time.

FARMERS who sell cotton at this time
for future delivery, help to depress
prices against themselves and neigh
bors. The spectators who buy Sep
tember or October cotton at 10 or IL
cents, or any other price. use it to beat
down the price of November and De-
cember cotton. 1t is best not to sell
for future delivery at any price.

REFERRING to the senatorial race, the

hopes that the friends Of the various

Man Burned to Death in Ridgeway
JAIL


The burning to the ground of the
Ridgeway town Jail between and 2
O'Clock Sunday morning resulted in
the death of Brandon Il. Dale, who
was an inmate of the Jail, having been
arrested Saturday evening about s
o'clock for being drunk and disorderly.
Dale was young man about twenty
two or twenty-three years of age, and
had been at Ridgway and in Ouray
county several months. He first came
into prominence some weeks ago when
he was arrested in connection with a
spurious coin deal, he being one of the
parties carrying one of the money belts
containing the counterfeit coins.
Dale was an inveterate cigarette
smoker and the supposition is that he
went to sleep and his cigarette had set
fire to the bed clothing in his cell.
The flames apparently had awakened
him, for when taken from the Jail, he
was in the other cell, near the barred
window, unconscious and flesh on his
hands and body burned to crisp. He
could not be resuscitated and died
without regaining consciousness.
The home of the deceased is at Grim
well, Iowa, and relatives there have
been notified Of his death.
The jail was burned to the ground,
the loss being $3.50.
