you can't spin futures" and it looks
like a pity too. Futures are so much
lower il price than spots, and then
they can be bought and sold with so
much ease. Futures are booming up
ward and spots continue comfortable.
They are not scared like futures. OF
course, futures can go to a price that
will move spots, and they will, no
doubt. But there is no doubt of the
fact that spots now control the situa-

- Greenvlle, May 13: II. H. Dill,
former chaingang OVerSeer in this
county, was today acquitted in the
general sessions court of the charge
of cruelty whipping convict. The
warrant for his arrest was sworn out
by former convict, who claimed that
he was numerically whipped. The
state took the ground it was unlawful to
whip convictS. Judge Prince charged
it was legal to whip them as much as
was necessary to carry out sentence
of the court as to hard labor. The
case was hard fought. The jury was
out only short time. If the case
was decided against Dill it probably
would have meant that the whipping
post at the penitentiary would have
been abolished.

THE Charlotte Chronicle says that if
Messrs. Finley and Lever secure the
navigation of the Catawba river up to
the York county line, North Carolina
will see to it that the boat line does
not stop short of Mt. Holly. We believe
there is something in this. The peo-
pie who are using the Catawba to turn
the wheels Of industry, will, if given
half a show, also utilize it, to bear the
fruits of their Industries into the chan
nels of commerce.

that Capt. w. H. Edwards has written

no good reason for present conditions

stand for them any longer.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following is Il review of yesterdays
developments in the contract market
as summarized in an Associated Press
dispatch of last night from New York:
The cotton market had very active
and exciting day, making new high
records for the movement during the
early trading and then suffering Il
sensational break with the close weak
at d net decline of to 80 points.
Sales were estimated at 100000 bales.
The market opened firm at an ad-
there was any substantial recession
with July selling at 1907 and October
at 9.26 The upward movement was
due to very firm cables, big English
spot sales, reports of tOrnadoes and
excessive rains in certain central and
western sections of the belt, covering
of shorts and continued rumors of
July corner. At the high point May
contract sold 202 points above the re-
cent low record or little over $40
bale, while July was 1871 points up from
the low record or 1886 a bale. At this
level there was very heavy realizing
and during the afternoon the market
became SenSatiOnally weak on reports
that Wall street bulls had liquidated,
less favorable private cables from
prominent Liverpool authorities claim
ing that shorts had covered while spin
nerS and spectators were long, and
the more favorable outlook for the
weather. July broke to 94S, or SO
points. equal to nearly 81 a bale, from

STEAMSHIP CUT ADRIFT.
Steamer George W. Fenwick's Lines
are Cut While Lying at the Ma
tiOnal Mill.

HOQUIAM, June 13.--No trace has
been found of the persons who cut
the American steamer George W..
Fenwick adrift at an early hour
Thursday morning, although an effort
is being made to locate the guilty
parties. Between the hours of 12 and
1 o'clock the Waterman on the Fen
wick became suspicious because he
saw figure of man skulking in the
lumber pile near the vessel. He i'm
mediately noticed the steamer swing
ing from the wharf, and went for
ward to find the cause. He discover
ed the forward line parted. AS the
line was new one he guessed the
situation and gave an alarm.
Captain Miller and crew came on
deck and found both lines forward
and aft had been cut. Another line
was run ashore and the vessel saved
from crashing into the steamer Olsen
& Mahony, loading at the same
wharf.
The Fenwick is loading at the Ma
tional mill with non-union crew.

ATTORNEY GENERAL
URGES USE OF LOT
SYSTEM IN PRIMARY

OLYMPIA, June 3.-Attorney
General Atkinson, interpreting the
new direct primary law, urges coun-
ty auditors to use the lot system to
how the names of candi-
dates shall go on the ballot, where
such declarations come in all at once.
That officer also favors a similar plan
for the secretary OF state with re-
spect to declarations filed with the
latter officer, but it is understood
Secretary of State Sam H. Nichols re-
fuses to follow the suggestion.
The law says the names shall go
on the ballots in the order in which
declarations are filed and naturally
nearly every candidate will try to be
first. 1t is to avoid line of office
seekers beseiging the auditors, and
secretary the opinion is written.

DO They mean IT?
REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM
REQUIRES INTERPRETATION.
Declaration in Favor of Continuance
of Roosevelt Policies Inconsistent
When Judged by the Actions of
the Republican Members of Con-
reSS.

The first sentence in the republi-
can state platform reads as follows:
"The greatest issue of the coming
campaign is: Shall the Roosevelt
policies live with the next admins
tration?"
What are the so-called Roosevelt
policies? They are the policies
which he has urged congress to enact
into laws and include:
Increasing the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission.
Limiting the injunction powers of
federal courts.
Amending the Sherman antitrust
law.
Providing for publicity of cam
paign contributions.
Providing for regulation of trusts.
Granting to the Filipinos free
trade with this country.
Taxing inheritances and incomes.
Prohibiting grosser forms of gam
bling in securities and farm products.
Placing wood pulp on the free list.
The republican majority in the
senate and house of representatives
has opposed these policies and ignor-
ed the recommendations of the pres
ident, while the democratic minority
has supported him, because he was
advocating democratic policies.
AS the representatives of the re-
publican party in congress have done
their best to kill the Roosevelt poll
cies it follows that, if the republicans
of this state are sincere in asserting
that the paramount issue of the COM
ing campaign is the survival of those
policies with the next administration,
they will have to advocate demo-
cratic administration.
The real question is: Do the re-
publicans of this state want the So
called Roosevelt policies to live with
democratic administration or to die
with a republican administration.
Most of these policies We're bor-
rowed from the democratic platform
and are advocated by the democratic
party, but have been repudiated by
the republican party. They cannot
be kept alive by entrusting them tC
their opponents.
Do the republicans of this stats
mean what they say in the opening
sentence of their platform.-ColfaA
Commoner.

Nebraska Visitor to Elma Finds His
Affinity in a Short Time.

ELMA, June ia romance of
real life was brought to a climax
here Tuesday when Mrs. Anna S.
Huss became the bride of John Crate.
1t was a case of love at first sight,
when Crate arrived in Elma last Sat-
urday from his home in Betram,
Neb., to visit some old-time friends
and enjoy a well-earned vacation af-
ter life of toll, in which he has
been unusually successful. By
chance he was introduced to Mrs
Huss, and on the following day called
to see her. She was a widow, about
his own age of 65 years, and he a
widower. It did not take them long
to decide to join their fortunes.

RAILROADS COMING
union PACIFIC and MILWAUKEE,
HEADED FOR GRAYS HARBOR.
The Two Roads Have Probably Conn
bined to Build Branch to Grays
HarbOr. Many circumstances Tend
to Confirm Belief in the COmbina-
ton.

SEATTLE, June 13.-There is a
agreement will be effected between
the st. Paul and Union Pacific inter-
ests whereby the two lines will build
the Grays Harbor branch jointly. or
whereby the st. Paul will be permit
ted to use the tracks after they are
built by the Hartman interests. If
this agreement is perfected it will
mean the construction of IA joint PEN
insular line to tap the country be-
tween the Harbor and Port Angeles.
Both the St. Paul and the Union
Pacific have completed surveys of the
peninsular country and both are de-
termined to build. The Northern Pa
cific has made Independent surveys
and would have ordered construction
in the peninsula but for the financial
stringency that stopped all big ex-
tensions on the Hill systems. The
Northern Pacific's line will be feed
er for both the Hill roads, and the
joint use of peninsular road by the
Hartman and st. Paul interests
would put those roads on a parity
with the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern in fighting for peninsular
| traffic.
Apart from the fact that railroad
men believe the Hartman influence
| is dominant in st. Paul or that close
alliance exists between the st. Paul
| management and Hartman, the two
| roads have been working in harmony
| in the Northwest. 1t was declared a
year or more ago that the Union Pa
cific and st. Paul would use the same
tracks between Black River junction.
and Tacoma.
| A circumstance that tends to con-
firm this story is that while the ST.
Paul has been active in it's prepara-
tions to commence laying steel be-
tween the city limits of Tacoma and
! Black River by July /, the Union Pa
cific, with $16,00O,O0O worth of ter
minal holdings in Seattle has never
taken any steps to close up the gap
between Black River and Tacoma.
From Black River Junction into
Seattle the Hartman line has its own
right-of-way, and franchise privileges
permit the road to enter the city both
east and west of the Northern Pacific.
The st. Paul comes to the city limits
over the Columbia & Puget Sounds
tracks from Maple Valley, the Taco
ma line branching at Black River
Junction.
! 1t has been understood in railroad
circles for some time that the Harri-
man interests were close to an agree
ment with the st. Paul for the joint
use of local passenger and freight ter
minals. 1t is admitted the st. Paul
cannot use the site originally desig-
mated as passenger terminals for this
piece of ground will be surrounded
by the freight sheds of the Union Pa
cifc extension.
