ton OF the State. and too, for
trial among the friends and kin
dred Of the States witnesses
who are confessed pilferars, but
testify against the accused on
the States promises Of immunity
from prosecution: this part OF
the business looks queer, and
gives room for The Cry OF perSe-
cutioE, especially so, since the
courts Of Richiaud are yet to Try
the men charged with the same
crime against the State. Can Ii
be possible tha. the political
campaign Of next year is not far
enough OFF for the result Of this
prosecution to help aspirantS:
II there is no political signlti'
canoe, then why this haste and
this unusual shifting Of the base
of action: We do not know what
Mr.. Lyon has in reserve for =
Chester jurS. nor what his evi-
dence is to prove the crimes he
he alleges, were committed IN
Chester: we admit his latest
move has confused Us, and # he
has the proof that bribery and
conspiracy was committed IN
Chester and it was not the same
ofense that the accused are
charged with in Richland county,
then perhaps the prosecution
will secure q conviction. which
we believe 1t can get IN Rlch-
land. if the proper proof is given
to the jury, but we have grave
doubts of the prosecution secur-
ing a verdict in Chester. the
home of Messrs. Wylie and Sam

evidence on the promise to be
let alone, and the home OF Mr..
Gage, the bank cashier who ex-
posed some Of his banks trans

mony is the same as was reclted
bv them in Columbia, the jury
cannot, and comply with their
oathS, render a verdict OF guilty,
and if they did, the verdict would
not stand. The proof must be
clearer and stronger TO make
out case of a violation Of law.

The American spinner refused
10 go on the market on the open

in his sleeve at the foreign buy

men have bought about all Of the
availa ble cotton marketed SO far.
and the outlook Of 4 very short

goods are clamoring for their
contracts TO be filled, the AmerI-

holding OFF from the market in
the beginning was a serious
b!under. ard he has become
alarmed at the situation. But he
must take his medicine. the

The Charleston musical festi-
val was a grand success in every
way except in a financial way.
The lovers of music had a week of
ioy, and it is to be hoped that a
financial failure will not discolr-
age those public-splrited souls
who are enceavoring to give to
Charleston elevating entertain
ment. It is the history of all
cities that the love for real music
must oe cultivated and that the
people must be educated up t.
an appreciation Of it, allof which
takes patience. perseverance and
money. We were greatly disap-
pointed in the attendance from
the people of the city, had the
festival been short skirt affair
we have no doubt the auditorium
would have beer filed, but it was
a season OF the highest culture,
and 1t did not seem to appeal 70
many of those living in a city
which is noted all over the world
for its culture. It certainly did
not live up to its reputation in
this regard last week.

In nearly all of Senator Till
mans speeches he takes occasion
TO rap the editor of The State
for criticising his attitude on the
tariff. It may be pleasing to his
audiences to rap Mr.. Gonzales,
but it does not enlighten the
people as to the correctness Of
his position, as for Us we think
Tillman's position is the correct
one, but at the same time it was
he who criticised McLaurin for
taking the same stand several
years ago, and was largely the
cause Of McLaurin'S retirement
from politics. II McLaurin vas
right then, it strikes Us that it
would come with good grace for
Tillman to make open acknowl-
edgement that he did his former
colleague an injustice. The tariff
is as yet d question to enlighten
our people upon, as but few un-
derstand it, and instead Of Mr..
Tillman devoting his speeches
to attacks on The States editor
for differing with him and re
garding it a personal afront to
be criticised, be should show his
constituents that his position is
not inconsistent, or if be has
changed his mind, come square
out and say so with the reason
for the change. We believe the
South has been making a grave
mistake in fighting the tariff
propositions, because this is an
age of business advancement and
if it is true, as it is claimed, that
it was the tariff which made the
manufacturers of the North rich,
why should we oppose it now
that the South has become great
" interested in manufacturing?
In McLaurin's time he foresaw
what was coming to the South
and be labored for a tariff to pro-
tect the cotton growers, but his
enemies, who were in the saddle
them, cried out against him,
charged him with Republican
leanings, just as some are charg-
ing Tillman now. but among

The Cotton Market Problem.

The following appeared IN the cGi-
torial columns OF the New York Com
mercial, October fifteenth. and il is re-
produced in It's entirety that the South

An UNUSUAL MOVE.

EAA new move has been made
by the Attorney General to Sc
cure the convection Of J. S. Far
mum, the man alleged 20 have
bribed the dispensary board of
control: oy alleging that the act
was committed in Chester, and
he asks the grand jury Of Ches-
ter to return an indictment
against Farnum on the charge
OF bribery, and against the mem
bers OF the board, and Farnum,
on the charge Of conspiracy, and
also the members OF the board
for receiving rebates. This is an
unprecedented move and the re-
SILT of it will De watched with
interest. FarnuD was tried and
acquitted on the charge Of brio-
cry in the court at Columbia, and
we presume that the indictment
In Columbia charged him with
havingcommitted the crime in
RIchiauG, but Richlaud jury
said Farnum was not guilty
Of crime, the prosecution now
takes the case to Chester, the
home Of the star witnesses, and
now charges the crime was COM
nliste6 n Chester. There is one
thing certain. Farnum could not
have committed the same offence
in Richland and Chester at the
sane time. OF course, the At
torney General is a man Of abil-
ity, and We believe he is prompt
ed by desire TO do his full duty.
To some, his movements might
smack of persecution, but we do
not think he is that kind Of a
man. We regard J. Fraser Lyon
a thoroughly conscientious work
er and that he is endeavor!ng to
carry out his promise to the peo
pie s'to put stripes on the graft
ers," but there is such a thing
as working over time AMI doing
q cause harm.
We presume the prosecution
will contend the charge against
the accused is not the same which
Farnun was acquitted Of, but
that the Chester case was com
mitsed or a different date and in
Chester, which if proven, on the
ex-parte statements to the gran d
Jury, that body must return a
true bill: the whole thing looks

Washington, July 2.-ReSembhng a
giant bird sweeping down upon its
prey, the Wright aeroplane today,
after the motor which propels it came
to sudden Standstill, glided grace
fully to the earth, after having made
two successful flights.
The machine was on its way around
the Fort Meyer grounds for the ninth
time of the second fight when the
motor stopped sixty feet above the
earth, which resulted in the machine
striking a tree, swerving around with
such force that the skids were broken
and the right wing badly ripped.
Wright was not hurt.
The flights today were the most
successful yet attempted. The first
time it flew around the field twelve
times in eleven minutes and fifty
seconds. On the second trial it had
gone around eight and half times
when the accident occurred. 1t is
estimated that the speed today aver
aged about thirty-seven miles an
hour,
