get at the facts to find out where

The STANDARD is Justified in pre-
dieting that these high lcVIcN ana
great expenses will pave the way for
a revival Of the single tax agitation
in more active manner than We
experienced in 1876 When the
home-owncrS shall find their prop

in proportion to that of corporations
and rich men, they will not fee
pleasant about it, and radical changes
under popular excitement are OFT
times detrimental to the public good.
If the corporations and rich lndl-
vidualS were served in the same
manner as the labOring and mid
die classes of moderate means, they
would see very quickly that we hay,
too expensive political machinery
and there would be change Of base
of operations at the first opportun-
ity. But is long as wealthy parties
get of on the payment OF small
tax rs compared with men and wo-
men of small means, they are con
tent to let matters remain as they
are.
There are also men who are en-
gagged in manufac turing and Other
industries in our city who have in
vested considerable capital in Their
enterprises. and who have beer
obliged to close operations owing to
circumstances over which they hav,
had no control. These men have
contributed of their substance tC
the substantial growth and pros
pcrity of the community. They fal
into Il different class from the office
holders who absorb and do not con
tribute. Naturally these men own
ing individual plants in times of sus
pension and depression, feel the hard

The San Jose Scale in South Car
olina.

Ou0a.
The San Jose (San Hozay) scale
IS the most pernicious insect pest of
fruit and shade trees in South Caro-
lima. In some sections the owners Of
trees are cutting them down owing to
the presence Of this insect. The Di-
vision of Entomology Of the South
Carolina Experiment Station has re-
peatedly emphasized the fact in the
press that there is no necessity for
cutting down or other wise DESTROY
ing tree merely because it is infest-
ed with San Jose scale unless the
tree is so far gone that it has not
enough vitality left to recover after
the scale is killed. Although one of
the worst insects of America, it has
been demonstrated over and over
again that the pest can be success
fully and economically controlled.
Fruit growers all over the United
States who are troubled with this
pest are controlling it by the sprays
devised for that purpose. All citizens
OF South Carolina who have trees dy
ing or who know that their trees arc
infested with scale, or who have
trees in an mthrifty condition arc
invited to write to the Division of
Entomology, South Carolina Expert
mcnt Station, Clemson College, S. c..
Information is chcerfully given and
no postage is required to insure a
reply.

SLAUGHTER OF JACK RABBITS.

where the rabbits are particularly
Wlcntiful. The hunt will last all day
Md end with barbecue. There will
3bc plenty Of fresh meat for the dogs,
jthe coyotes and the buzzartls when
Tho hunters get through.
TendcrLhcartcd visitors from the
east might be inclined to think that Il
hunt in which all the way from 500
to 1000 jack rabbits are killed l.;
cruel. They are not familiar with
jack rabbits.
The jack rabbit is a peculiar pro-
duct Of the plain. lie does not live
where fields are closely cultivated,
nAr does he linger around long after
tho mesquite is grubbcd. and the rich
sod fmrncd over with breaking plow.
A wild and carc-frec life for the jack

Do Not Rush Cotton on the Market.

y.
The Farmers Union urges her
members and farmers generally not to
rush their cotton on the market at
the present prices, which are below
the cost Of production. Every bale Of
cotton being sold is taken from the
producer at $40 per bale less than its
real value. Who is the bear on the
market7 Is it not the producer3 If
you would refuse to take the price
offered the spectators will have to
give your price. Can you do better9 z
Certainly you can. The Farmers Un-
ion has been offered all the money
necessary if we will only put our
cotton in bonded warehouses. The
Union has o number Of warehouses,
and the STANDARD Warehouse COM
pany is also in position to store cot
ton and issue receipts. The latter
company can store 10000 bales and
issue receipts which will be negoti-
able at any bank. Arrangements have
been made for carrying your cotton
for you if you will but cooperate. If
further information regarding this is
desired address the undersigned at
Pendleton, S. C. I would advise any
one putting their cotton in ware
houses to arrange for money for six
months at least.
Is. it good Judgment to warehouse
cotton7 I will answer yes, it is al
ways good Judgment to warehouse
any product when it sells below pro-
duction, and conditions will certainly
warrant it now.
AS to the condition of the present
cotton crop, the weather over large
portion of the belt is bad, and so are
prospects. Heavy rains are reported
over Texas, Oklahoma and Florida,
and reports Of deterioration from the
cotton belt still come in from every
State, and the world realizes now
vnat the crop is short. 1t will not
more than duplicate our last crop.
There will be no top crop this year,
and cotton is opening prematurely. 1
want to urge our farmers to ware
house their cotton and get money on
it to settle their indebtedness and
market the crop as the world needs
it. By so doing you can get your
price.
Tt will pay the farmers to remem-
Der that corn is now selling at $1.10
per bushel, bacon from II cents to ~
cents per pound, ham 18 cents to 20
cents per pound. Real, real farmers
are purchasers Of the above articles.
Now, brother, don't grumble when
the specular to offers you 8.75 and 8
cents for your cotton. He knows
that you have to pay for the above
articles you have bought to make this
cotton, and you now have to meet
your obligations. Now, be fair and
don't blame him when he offers you
the present price. Remember that
buying bacon, corn, flour, molasses,
hay, guano, mules and horses is the
cause. I want you to remember that
there is no country where the above
articles can be raised cheaper than
here in South Carolina. The remedy
for 8.75 and 9 cents cotton is diver
sification Of crops. So let me sug-
gest that you write diversity crops
this year' and tack it up in the most
conspicuous place about your house,
so that you can be reminded of it ev-
cry day, and then do it, and you can
name your price for your cotton and
secure it for your whole crop. So
diversity.

CLAIM TREATED LIGHTLY.
Belmont Family Undisturbed Over
Story of Galveston Girl.

NEW YORK. June 13-None of the
members of the Belmont family was will
ing yesterday TO discuss the claim sud-
denly made by young woman of Gal
weston. Tex. that she is the real daughter
OF o. Fl. p. Belmont by his first marriage
and that the late Mrs. William p Burden
Was only an adopted daughter.
The report of the young woman's as
sertions is not taken seriously. MIR. Bel
monts family counsel is Col. William JAY
at whose office il was stated that no claim
legal or otherwise. has ever been made
by the young woman. whose name is said
10 be Louise Whiting Belmont Clarke
The story is ridiculous" said one of
Mr. Jays associates. II was pointed out
that II was frequently remarked by Mrs.
Burdens friends how strongly she resem-
bled her father.
NEWPORT. June 13-Newport people
scon at the claim of the Texas girl that
she was o. H. p. Belmont's daughter. and
that \auca Rives Burden was only adopt
ed. as Mrs. Burden was known here since
infancy, and all the present generation of
Newporters recall the welding of Mr.. Bel
mont and Miss Whiting.
AL day the report from Texas has been
discussed. and all agree there cannot be
any question that Mrs. William Proudfoot
Burden was Mr. Belmont's blood daugh-
ter. II was reported yesterday that Mr..
Belmont had been showing considerable
interest in Mrs. Burden. and that upon her
marriage he presented her with string
of pearls 1t is also common report that
Mr.. Belmont took her death deeply to
heart.

stated that the members will have the

cockade with which 10 decorate their

There are only three cockades-the royal.
