BUMPER CROPS FOR THE SOUTH.

Southern farmers and business men
have every reason feel good over the
outlook for crops this year. Returns
from early fruits and vegetables are
larger than ever before, and both nro-
ducers and merchants are now eniov-
ing the good times ushered in bv the
marketing Of those crops. Tobacco.
corn, hay and other products of the soil
will add millions to the wealth of the
South. But cotton of course is the big
crop and the real basis of prosperity.
The crop is little backward in a few
sections due to weather conditions, but
as rule the elements have dealt kind
ly with the growers.
Estimates as to the extent of the
yield vary from 1000, 600 to IA, 600, 600
bales. Should the latter figures be
realized, and figuring on 8 cents a pound
for cotton, or $40 a bale, Southern
farmers will receive Approximately
$500, 600, 900 for their cotton. Added ia
this the proceeds Of other crops grown
in that section, the total returns would
considerably exceed 500, 600. 900. With
such evidence of returning prosperity
before them, it is no wonder that
Southern business men are in happy
frame of mind.
The South is no longer entirely de-
pendent upon agriculture for business
activity. 1t is rich in iron, coal and
timber, and every day it is becoming
more of a manufacturing section, ac-
cording to experts. For years the
cotton industry has been leaving the
East and establishing itself where the
raw material is grown. The South now
produces larger quantity Of coarse cot
ton goods than any other section. and
manufacture of the finer grades is
gradually increasing. More attention

SEVEN parties have placed presidential
tickets in the field The last nominat-
ed is that of the Independence party,
with Thomas [. Hisgen, of Massachu-
sets, for President and Col. Jno.
Temple Graves, of Georgia, for Vice
President.
The seven candidates for the Presi-
dency are as follows:
Republican William H. Taft.
Democratic William Jennings Bry-
an.
Peoples Party -Thomas f. Watson.
Socalist-Euge V. Debs.
Prohibition Eugene w. Chain.
Socialist Labor Martin r. Preston.
Independence Thomas l.. Hisgen.
-Four years ago there were six tickets
in the field and the total votes were:
Republican, 1923, 4S5.
Democratic, 5,077,97l.
Prohibition, 258, $50.
Socialist, 4O2, 2S3.
Peoples, III, 1873.
Socialist Labor, 81 ,249.
What the total will be this year is an
unknown quantity, but it is safe to pre-
dict that the Independence party will
poll vote larger than has ever been
cast by small party. This vote will
largely come from Democrats. 1t is

Conditions StiIIimproyed

The month Of July just passed while
far from being the most successful one
for the coal trade, viii show an enor-
nous gain over the conditions during
the month of June. Operators are
sanguine in their belief that the
markets will continue to improve later
in the summer and fall and that bust
ness will have reached normal ere the
lake ports close on account Of extreme
cold weather. A large tonnage Of coal
has been shipped recently 70 the lake
ports from Fairmont and Clarksburg,
and the output in this region has been
greater than at any time during the
current year, but t. e aggregate is still
far below the corresponding month last
year. Increasing shipments will. it is
believed, call very soon for addilnal
equipment from the 4. & o. railroad.

The Advertiser has the following:
Word comes that the Republican
party in West Virginia at large, alarm
cd at the almost assured success of the
Democratic ticket in the approaching
election, is ready to bury all its differ
ences and present a united front to tie
Democracy.
Swisher and Scherr and their respac
tive supporters realize that neither has
a chance to win victory over the united
Democracy, led by Louis Bennett and
the withdrawal Of neither would improve
the situation from a Republican stand,
point, but now the proposition that
both withdraw has assumed definite
form. Senator Scott came to town
Wednesday. The senator wants to he
reelected. Unless the Republican
differences are settled his chances are
small Senator Scott has plenty of
money and, therefore, the difference
will be settled
This is the present plan: Both Swish

be given. nice appointments. George
c. Sturgiss will be named for Governor
provided he will accept, which is doubt
full as he is already the nominee for
Congress in the Second district. In
case of refusal, the place will go to
Judge Holt, of Grafton. Holt, is not
strong candidates but is considered
preferable to either Swisher or Scherr.
This is the Scott plan.
To what extent it will be actually
carried out remains to be determined.
The Democrats do not care much.

Which suggests the query, How
many times is it necessary to throw a
man downstairs to make him wonder
If his room is not better than his com
pany? Mr.. Bryan is fond of telling the
old story about a cowboy who while
wearing a2monumental "jag" attended
a party to which he had not been inyit-
ed. He was promptly thrown out,
whereupOn he promptly came back.
Thrown out again and still the third
time he picked himself up brushed him
self off and remarked. Those fellows
can't fool me: they don't want me in
there" To the Democratic organiza-
ton of Maryland Mr.. Warfeld is fine
old packhorse, good enough to help pull
the party along when it gets stalled,
but who is considered presumptuous if
he indicates any hankering for the good
things which ought to be the portion of
the man who does the work. If Mr..

the task is finished go way back and

ed all round as one of the finest fellows

Mr.. BRYAN has never dared to assert
his position.on the negro question. For
if he should say anything calculated to
win the support Of the negroes in the
Northern States, where ithe negro vote
counts for something, the white Demo-
cats Of the South would be up in arms
aIainstshim. His.only indiscretion was
when he wrote that article Gin the Com
m)ner standing squarely with the Pres
ii-nt on the. Brownsville issue. Mr..
Bryan and his party by tradition are OPP
posed to the negro's pardcipa ion in
politics, and our.colored citizens can eX-
pect nothing at the hands of the Demo
cratic party. They COVE allegiance to
the Republican party not only for their
emancipation, but for the friendly atti-
tude that the party has always manifest

Association, recognizing the important
part played by the citizens of Garrett
county in bidding and developing
Mountain Lake Park into the leading
summer resort Of the country, Wednes-

but they may hail with joy an oppor-

illation in dealing with the one question
that the South deems all important.

tempting to coquette with the negro

the hands Of intelligent negro votes
in the North and Of Southern white

The NEW PARTY.

Some Of the leading newspapers of
the country look upon the new Indepen-
dence party with more or less serious
ness, while others regard it as an
ephemeral affair destined to cut no
other figure in this campaign than to
take few votes from both the RepubH-
can and Democratic parties, without in
creaslng or adding to its own strength
as party. In his denunciation of the
Republican and Democratic parties in
his speech as temporary chairman of
the Independence League convention
at Chicago Monday night. William
Randolph Hearst has laid himself open
to the charge Of individual hatred OF
both parties. He declars there is need
OF a new party. The people want argu-
ment. They do not want bombast and
abuse. The Daily News agrees with
the New York Tribune, that there
seems no reason why the Independence
party should be taken seriously except
by Mr.. Bryan"
New and powerful parties have
sprung up in the past history of the
country, and it is the custom Of Mir.
Hearst and his writers of his political
broaGsides to point to the analogy Of
the Republican party as an Inspiration
to the hesitating. But new parties Of
real strength come into being in re-
Spouse to genuine need when impor-
tant issues are before the public which
the existing parties have not the cour-
age or the intelligence to face squarelv.

party S many declarations Of principles
hitherto published fails to reveal any
definite thing for which it stands and
for which the other parties DO not stand

which has been neglected by the Two

1t is hard to guess at Just what is the
object of Mr. Hearst and his advisers
In entering the national field with in
dependent nominations. It's suggest

The PHILIPPINES are well on toward

dainty productive for their own needs.
Only when under the stress of severe
crop failures for a single year did they
fall short Of the high average of pro

American rule. While this is all very
gratifying, the fact remains that what
ever the commercial worth of the is
lands, their chief value will ever be as

country to the East gives this character
to the Philippines. Without their pos
session the United States would be i'm
potent in Asa. They are therefore, of
more practical worth than the lamp of
Aladdin or any of the golden keys of
fable that opened doors Of treasure
trove.
Mr.. Taft in his Shanghai speech made
it very clear that this country has no
purpose to dispose of the islands, and
that they were held not simply for their
commercial value, but rather as a pledge
that the open door in Asia would be
kept open, and that the territorial in
tegrity of China would be preserved.
AS president, Nh. Taft would make this
policy emphatic. There. is no POSSIBLE

Statement From Mr.. Bryan

J. BRYAN today issued the follow
ing statement:
The election has gone against us
by decisive majority. The re.
turns are not all in, and it is i'm.
possible at the present time to an
alyze them or to say what causes
contributed most to the Republican
victory. We made our fight upon
a platform which embodies what we
believe to be good for the American
people, but it Is for the people them
selves to decide what laws they de-
sire and what methods of govern.
ment they prefer.
have faith that the publicity
which we are asked for will yet
commend itself to the American
people, that the election of senators
by the people will be secured, that
the iniquities Of the trust will
arouse an opposition that will re-
suit in the elimination of the prln-
ciple of private monopoly. | am
confident that the people will see
the necessity for the labor legisla-
tion and the tariff reduction which
our platform demanded. | am con-
ident, too that the education work
done in this campaign will result
in securing greater protection to
bank depoSitors. The above are
the most prominent reforms for
which we labored and | believe
that these reforms will yet come,
together with more effective regula-
tion of railroads and independence
for the Filipinos.
desire to commend the work Of
our national committee. / am en-
tirely satisfied with Mr.. Mack as
the chairman and with the members
of the committee. l do not see
what they could have done more
than they did, and as for myself, |
put forth every effort in my power
to secure victory for our cause. Th e
nomination came from the hands of
the voters; have obeyed their COM
mand and have led as best | could.
Words will not express my graft
tude for the devotion which has
been shown by millions of Demo-
Gratis during the past twelve years.
Neither am l able to adequately ex-
press my appreciation for the kind
words which have been spoken since
the election.
If l could regard the defeat
as purely a personal one, | would
consider it blessing rather than a
misfortune, for | am relieved of the
burdens and responsibilities of
an Office that is attractive only in
proportion as it gives an opportunity
to render larger public service.
But shall serve as willingly in
private capacity as in public one.
God does not require great things
of US. He only requires that we
improve the opportunities that are
presented, and l shall be glad to
improve the opportunities for SER
vice presented by private life.
In this hour of national defeat |
find some consolation in the cordial
support given by my neighbors, by
the citizens of Lincoln and by the
people of the state of Nebraska.
With Democratic governor and a
Democratic Legislature we shall be
able to put into practice so much
of the Denver platform as relates to
state Legislation and trust that our
state will set an example that will
be an influence for good in the
nation.
