WHAT LYON SAYS.
Attorney General Makes Statement
as 10 Attachment for Contempt. 4

COLUMBIA, March 8:-When
Attorney General Lyon was
shown the press dispatches as
to the threatened attempt to
have him attached for contempt
on account of the structures of
Judge Pritchard, contained in
the interview given out by him
in Augusta, Georgia, last night,
he said:
at is not surprising that
these harpies Geterring to IL
quor lawyers) should wish to
have me attached for contempt.
This wall is probably caused,
not from any disregard which
may have been shown the learn
ed Judge, but more probably
from the prospect of being kept
for long while from plu nder-
ing and feasting upon the reve-
nues of South Carolina. The at
torneys' fees and costs Of the
various satellites of the G ourt
may possibly amount to $4,000
or more. 1t is, therefore, not
hard to understand the cause of
the wall nor their unseemly
haste to have the Court take
action with the manifest pur-
pose of circumyenting the Gov
ernor when he advised the Legis-
Ilature to act and protect the
revenues and autonomy of the
State. -, -, %,

Bring Your Cotton Seed.

We have closed down our
ginneries for the season because
there is no more cotton to gin.
We are paying $50 per ton for
good, sound, dry cotton seed,
delivered at our mill.
To those who do not care to
sell their seed for cash we are
offering a strictly high grade
meal in exchange. Our rate of
exchange at the mill is 1900 lbs
, of meal for one ton of seed. 1t
is a conceded fact cotton
seed meal is a cheaper and
more effective fertilizer than
cotton seed. According to
chemical analysis of each. ese
pounds of cotton seed meal
are equivalent to 1000 poundl
of cotton seed, but owing
to the superior mechanical
condition Of meal, it is safe te
assume that 800 pounds of mea!
are the full equivalent to one tor
of cotton seed, therefore, what
ever excess above 300 pounds O
! meal the fartier gets in exchange
| for a ton of seed is so much clea,
profit to him in comparison will
using the ton of seed directly a
a fertilizer. You can readily se'
that by exchanging your see'
with US you realize nearly 10
per cent on the transaction. -.
Bring your seed to US and no
make the mistake of gettinl
inferior meal elsewhere in ez
change.
Our meal is open for inspec
tion. Samples sent on applica

BRYAN's GOOD CHANGES.

Could Not Strike Commerce and Industry
 Worse than Roosevelt.
 New York Herald.
 Like true Kentuckian, Colonel watter- son has hit the bulPs-eye Not only has MT. Bryan good fighting chance but. as the Colonel very significantly remarks, there is every probability that the chance will grow stronger as the campaign develops.
 Perhaps in respect of mental equipment. from doctriaire fads Mir Taft is entitled to be considered the better candidate for the Presde,ncy. d ], but the . history of the Unite United the best man who wins in a Presidential election. The great men among our Pres hand. The others have been mediocrities, but they have filled the position without discredit to themselves and certainly with out doing any great damage to the coun- There is no reason to suppose that Mir. Bryan If elected. would prove less satis- factory than these latter. No one now fears that his election would provoke an industrial. commercial and financial cata- acceptance has strengthened rather than shaken public confidence. Mir Bryan has evidently mellowsd in retirement. While Mir. Roosevelt has been growing steadily more radical in his attitude toward oco- homie questions. the Nebraskan has been dent. It is plain that he has completely recovered from his violent attack of free slveritis and no longer prescribes state ownership of everything as remedy for all economic ailments.
 Moreover. he is indisputably the idol sof an imposing section of the American cleo. torate. Even those Democrats who repu- dIated emphatically Mr. Bryen's most ex- travaSant theories have been forced to ad- init that his influence with the rank and file of the party is unTivalled and undimin- ished and have recognized that truth by again enrolling for service under his ban ner.
 The personal fitness of Mir Taft. in fact. is evenly balanced by the personal magnet ism of MT. Bryan.
 The question who will win is rendered still more difficult to answer by the fact that there Is no paramount issue" in the present Presidential campaign. If the party platforms were to be surreptitiously transposed nobody on either side would ever tind 1t out. It Is a case of ''six of one and a half dozen of the other" Mir. Taft could stand on Mir. Bryan's platform and Mr. Bryan could stand on Mr. Taft's platform without either one or the other feeling that reason that The Herald as a perfectly in- dependent newspaper agrees with Colonel Watterson's assertion that MT. Bryan has good fighting chance. Of course he has.
 Even Mir, Bryans most serious biemish, namely that he Is Q dsmaEogus of the ex- treme type may not be qfter all a very great handicap. The country has just had 4al- most eight years of experience with dem agogue of the eXtremest type in the White House. And 1t still survives Why should 1t not survive foulVycars more with another demagogue there9 Finance and industry and commerce can scarcely receive 6 fieroer battering under Mir. Bryan than they have received under MT. Roosevelt.

TUESDAY, AUGUST IS, 1908.
A GOOD PRECEDENT.

A Boston magistrate. 1t is stated created quite a sensation in that gay old town few days ago by imposing both fine and a jail sentence on a prominent young man" for carrying concealed pistol. There, as in most other places, the habit has been to let the pistol-toter off with a mere fine. often little more than a nominal one 80 this official thought he would try a more drastic remedy.
 Plainly this magistrate was right If his object is to break up the evil habit. If 1t is wrong and illegal to carry pistol concealed the way to ston 1t Is to punish those who indulge in the habit. In a great majority of cases 1t cannot be broken up by im- posing fine, for except to a very poor man, that is no punishment at all. The offender will pay the fine and repeat the offense next day if he chooses to do so. The only way to abolish the habit is to make the penalty so se- were that prominent men will not dare take the risk of going to jail for the oftense of "toting a gun"

DEsrRoYING Tur ronrsTs.

Those who feel an interest in forest preservation, as every one should, will read with real regret the statement made by The New Bedford Standard that a lumber company has just ac- quired from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad the right to the timber on two hundred thousand acres of land in West Virginia, and are preparing to cut the trees at a rate which will turn out 25o. 900 feet of hardwood lumber a day. Added to this is the statement that a wood pulp company has acquired in the same region the right to cut over 12s. .o00 acres of land for its own pur- poses.
 Thus it will be seen that an aggre- gate of five hundred square miles is to be stripped as fast as men and machines can do the work. Ut is a dismal outlook for the forests" com ments The Standard. "and those famil- lar with the topography of the coun- try in that region are predicting dire results from the stripping cf the land. Mountainsides cleaned of~soil to the bare rock by the spring-time torrents from the melting snow in that five hun dred square miles of territory, with in- creasing destructiveness of the Ohio River in the food-time season and less value than ever in the season of drought. are almost sure to follow the destruction of the forests. Possibly the lumber companies have grown wise with the spreading of knowledge in these matters of late times and may be prepared to cut the timber with scientific regard for future harvests; but 1t must be confessed that the exist ence of the pulp company in the re- zion does not encourage sny belief ex- cept that the land will be cut clean of trees"
The Montgomery advertiser., 1908-08-18

No doubt The Norfolk Landmark ia correct when 1t argues that there could De no stronger Democratic campaign book gotten up than could be made by compiling what Roosevelt has said and written of late years about the many evils that have grown up since the close of the last Cleveland administra- tion. He has written and orated fre- quently and furiously about these evils, but never refers to the we'll known fact that they have grown ur under Republican rule. If compiled they would make good Democratic campaign thunder.

What the State Papers
 Are aying and Doing
Gov. smiths Course.

Gov. Smiths Course.
 If Governor Hoke Smith. of Georgia, had given as much attention to State railroads, for political effect, he would have saved the State the hu- initiation and disgrace brought upon 1t by the investigation of its convict system.
 working with Zeal Selma Journal.
 It's a good thing to see man have his heart and soul in his work. Hon. John H. Wallace is such a man. His recent address before the Alabama Press Association on the preservation of game and fish in Alabama shows his thorough knowledge of his work and his intense zeal in its prosecution.
 All for Bryan Now. Talladega Reporter.
 The indications are that no one who ever voted for W. J. Bryan will fail to vote for him again. Many who did not vote for him. will do so this time. He has all the odds coming his way. has a united party against doubts against Mir. Taft; and a landslide may not be disappointing. Sit 5.eady in ihe boat. Bryan's going to be elec'ed.
 Judge Jones Needed Greensboro Deacon.
 If ever the State needed Q man of cool head and calm judgment at the helm 1t Is now. With the Birmingham district practically in a state of an- archy, stern and immediate means to stop it is demanded. How many times have you heard 1t remarked: If Judge Jones wer at the head now he would soon put a stop to it." And this from men who have been condemning the 1u" dicial acts of Judge Jones because they did not coincide with the views of the present administration. Truly a public office Is public cuss.

 The GOVernOa'r Proclamation. Walker County News.
 The proclamation of Governor Conner aren't the strike, published elsewhere In this issue, is not so strong a doc- ument as the occasion would seem to demand. Of course those who can read between tine lines will at once see that he means defense and actton--that his purpose is to uphold law and order, but 1t is feared that the English employed Is susceptible to misInterpretation. It partakes somewhat of a milk and ct. der" tendency with more of the lacxeaI than the sharper fluid.
 The proclamation would be stronger and more effective if he had added a paragraph somewhat like this:
 And l, B. B. Conner. Governor ot Alabama, do hereby offer a reward of $250 for the arrest and conviction oi any person who violates any of these said rules or laws"
 That would mean something. It would mean a swinging to and fro of every jail door in the district. It might mean a putting in commission of the hangman's moose.

THE SAME EVERYWHERE.

The Advertiser has no disposition to say you too" to the people of Spring field, Illinois. but the conditions now existing up there, the causes which brought about those conditions and the probable results should be a lesson to Northern people generally which they should take to heart and bear in mind always hereafter. What Is going on in Springfield is no excuse or iustinca- tion for anything of the kind that might occur in the South. and vice yer sa. Wrong in one place does not justify wrong in another place. and lawlessness in one section is no excuse for lawlessness in other sections.
 What we wish to emphasize In this connection is the fact that Anglo Sax on human nature is pretty much the same all over this great country of ours. The old adage or saying that blood is thicker than water" is a true one. and white blood will assert itself in the North or the West as 1t will in the South. The unforgivable crime committed by a black brute on a white woman will produce like results whether 1t is committed North or South, and it Is useless to deny or dis pute 1t. We may condemn those re- suits. regret them and moraIize over

them. but need not wonder because oS them.
 Notwith standing all the people of H.
 linois have no just right to complain
 when 1t Is pointed out to them that
 they have gone to an extreme fin the
 present instance for which there is not
 shadow of justification. Rarely, If
 ever has there been an instance in tn.
 South where a crime committed by
 negro has been followed by such ex-
 tremes of lawless race prejudice and
 injustice as has been witnessed at
 Springfield. If the brute who com
 mitted the crime had been caught and
 lynched we might not have endorsed or defended the act. but would have looked on 1t as a perfectly natural re- suit, as we'll as an evidence that white men up there will avenge an outrage on woman of their race just as they do down here. And so. while we might not have been surprised or worried if the negro criminal had been summar- fly dealt with. we are surprised that a general war sh houid be made on the whole negro race there. and that the innocent as we'll as the guilty should be punished alike. There can be no excuse or palliation for such barbarity.
 Many. perhaps A majority. of North- ern people. have had much comment on the Brownsville incident, contending that in the -missal of three entire companies of negro soldiers tho admin istration was punishing the innocent as we'll as the guilty. but can the peo- pie of Illinois consistently make such an argument in future? Plainly not. for they are doing far worse than they charge the President with having done. One negro committed foul crime. but instead of being content with punish- ing him, either lawfully or lawlessly. they have virtually outlawed the entire negro population of the city and vicin. ity. They put innocent men to death or drive men. woman and children away from their homes which are put to the torch. It is not merely lawless- ness that is going on up therc; 1t is murder, arson and rapine. It is. or has been. a genuine reign of terror. and the blacks have been the victims of the gravest cruelty and injustice. Would 1t be unjust or discourteous if We should say: 'Tuquoque Brute" to the people?

 The principals were a young Mex lean of great wealth and high social position, and a beautiful young woman of the same nationality. They had traleved over 1000 miles to get married in the United States. for. owing to the rigid laws of their own land, they were not allowed to wed at home. The req son was in the brides youthfulness. She was only IT. and in Mexico. unless the fair ones parents and guardians agree, no priest dare join in wedlock If the woman be under 2i. In the sister republic they punish severely for any infraction of this statute. and hence runaway marriages are of the most un- usual occurrences.

What the Tariff Costs.

Nobody can tell what the tariff costs the people of the country. The only TO- cord Is of tho Government collections on the goods imported. There is of course no record of the domestic goods whose prices have been marked up under the 'protec- ton of the tariff. But every man knows perfectly well that the object of fixing a hiGh rate of duty higher than the revenue prices nf donesiic articles to be raised Tho Government might. for example, levy a du ty of - per cent. on article under which there might be considerable importation Treasury 10 support the Government and pay for battlesh!Ds. Or it might levy 100 V-, -snt. undrg which rate there would probably be no importation and no revenue tJr .te Government and the domestic prices could be raised as nigh as the traffic WuI bear" There iB a steadily decreasing do- mtStic competition because more and more industries are dominated by combinations ar Trusts.

McGovern. of Wisconsin. tariff takes half a billion dollars year or has taken far five and half billion dollars in It's whole career of spoliatton-out of the consumers that the Government gets merce Is many times greater than the foreign commerce. this is an extremely low estimate 1t would probably be safe to put the figures two or three or even fonr times as high
 But the interesting thing about this com. putation is that MT. McGovern is a Repuh- lican aspirant for the United States Sena- torship. and he is making speeches for tar wind blows in Wisconsin, But if MT. McGoV- erns party shall be successful this fall there will be reduction of duties. What ever revision of the tariff may be made will organising to secure aven higher rates of taxation.

''There was no pretenee of the menu; but. am glad to say. We had plen- ty of good home victuals and mighty good water" - -
 when Abraham Lincoln had been nomi- mated for the Presidency in 1860 he receiv- ed a number of cases of wines and liouors from certain admirers. These cases re- mained unopened in his house when com rnIttee arrived to notify and congratulato him The candidate hesitated for a mo nent as to whether he ought to entertain his guests with the beverages to which some of them undoubtedly were accustomed. or 10 supply for the toasts of the occasion the drink 10 which he himself was used.
 He acted with characteristic simplicity, and he and his guests filled their glasses from a great pitcher of clear cold water.
 No Temperance principle was involved in tbis for at that period 1t would have been reFarded as a most serious breach of good nosnners raise such an issue; but Lincoln do,btisss looked upon 1t as an obligation of Sincerity to set out for his guests the only beverage that 1t was natural for himself to use.
