COTTON AND GOLD.
Columbia State.

The census report of cotton
ginncd to November Il, shows q
falling off of a million and a halt
bales compared with the quantity
ginned at the corresponding time
last year.
At the same time last year,
when the production was the rec
ord of 1925, 200 bales, 1873 pei
cent. of the crop had been ginned.
If the same were true of this crop,
the yield would be about 11,15O,-
600. However, if the proportion
of decrease is maintained for the
balance of the 26.7 per cent, the
present crop will be only about ?,
050, 900 bales short of last year,
indicating yield of 11,775,O
bales.
What South Carolinians have
Keener interest IN is the tact that
up to November IA, there had
been ginned in the State 913,4O7
bales, against 93S, ,926 at the same
date last year. If that represented
rs per cent. of the product, the
South Carolina crop will be about
100000 bales.
Comprehend the significance OF
those figures They mean that
the South carolina farmers,
averaging l. cents for their cot
ton and selling 90 per cent. of their
seed, will get ninety million dol
lars-or thirty million dollars
more than a million-bale crop
would have brought if sold for ten
cents. The like of such prosper
ity was never known before.

metto Limited" taken off. 1t is
just the kind of train the public
needs, but put the little accomo-
dation back on for those who do
not like the looks and size of the
new train. Time is too valuable
to compel a business man to travel
to Charleston or Columbia or
Augusta on a slow local train,
anyway, and the Palmetto Linn
ited"' can be used exclusively by
the man who has something to
do, and the local can be used by
the class that likes to travel for
the fun of it. But don't take off
the Palmetto Limited. 1t is
just the train the public needs,
but it ought to be put on a new
schedule.

SHOCKING TRAGEDY
NEAR LITTLE ROCK.
While Out Hunting Boy
Blows the Top of Anoth-
efs Head Off. An Ugly
Looking Affair.

With breach-loading shotgun
loaded with No. squirrel shot,
John Tredwell, a white boy 16
years old, fired a charge into the
head of Wade Tucker. also white
and aged about 16 years, on the
plantation of Mr.. A. J. c. Cot
tingham near Little Rock Monday
afternoon, that will doubtless
prove fatal.
The boys were out hunting and
were accompanied by several neg
roes. There seems to have been
no motive for the shooting. The
Tredwell boy does net bear a good
reputation and it is alleged that he
pointed the gun at young Tucker
and told him to look out"
Young Tucker told Tredwell to
be careful, but at that moment
the gun fired and the entire charge
of shot took effect in Young
fuckers head, infiicting a wound
that the physicians say will prove
fatal.
The scene of the shooting was
in the branch back of Mrs. Lottie
Stackhouse's plantation. The
wounded boy was carried home as
quickly as possible and medical
aid was summoned but the physi.
clans say there is no hope of saw
ing the young fellows life.
There had been no previous
difficulty between the bows and il
is believed the shooting was due
, to gross carelessness or criminal
disregard of human life on .the
part of the Tredwell boy. Tred-
well fled Immediately after the
shpoting and has not yet been
spprehended.
- Tscker is a son of Mr.. John D.
Tucker and is a hard-working, in.
dustrious boy.

THE PALMETTO LlAlTEb +"

All up and down the line, from
Fayetteville to Charleston, comes
q roar Of protest against the Coast
Lines new taain, the Palmetto
Limited" The people do not like
the looks of the handsome new
train and they like its schedule
still less. The Palmetto Limited
has not been on time a single day
since it was put on, the mails have
been late, express is always be-
hind time and the people are in a
bad humor. Such are the reports
in the newspapers. Now there is
really nothing wrong about the
Palmetto Limited but its sched-
ule. So far as equipment is con-
cerned it is just what the travelling
public has needed. But the mis-
take the Coast Line is making is
in punching its trains. Dillon
has excellent railroad facilities and
does not feel the inconveniences
of the poor schedules on which the
Palmetto Limited runs, but
there are other towns up and down
the road that have to depend on
the nev train largely to get in and
ont aid if the train is three or
ourthours late all they can do is
; to wait patiently until the train
comes along. Now the best way
to remedy these matters and to
put the travelling public in a good
huE1or once more is for the Coast
Line to make midday train of
the Palmetto Limited and run
it on a fast schedule like 80 and
IS are run on-that is stopping
only atthe larger towns. Then
sbRe the people back the little local
a&-S Godation train that used to
run between Fayetteville n d

conhodate the limited travel in the
smaller towns. One of the Coast

The influences of Pinchot and
Ballinger in the same ;tdministra-
ton are about as incompatible as
the services of God and Mammon.
They represent the AntipodeS of
administrative management md
aim. 1t is difficult to see how
President Taft can carry out the
Rooseveltian policy of conserva-
Nion with 9allinger as Secretary
of the Interior and it will also be
difficult for him to find a man so
we'll equipped by taste and expcr-
ience and so inspired by enthusi-
asm preservation of the national
resources as Clifford Pinchot. He
is much better known and esteem
ed for his initiative and activity as
conServator than any man in the
United States. 1t was expected
that he would be appointed as
Secretary of the Interior and it
was never imagined that there
would be appointed Cabinet
officer out of harmony with the
man with whom Roosevelt was
conspiciously proud TO be a coad-
jutor.
That most distinguished and
strenuous of Americans is work
ing off his nervous energy in the
wilds Of Africa. He could not
have taken wiser course. Had
he remained in this country it
would have been impossible for
him to have found seclusion.
Knowing this he has fled to the
Antipodes and plunged into the
dark Continent. Nothing short
of wireless telegraphy, and there
IS no receiving station in a thous-
and miles of him, can advise him
about the Pincnot-Ballinger con-
troversy. He will know it only
as ancient history when he re-
turns to America. If he were
here he could not keep out of it
and there is no question as to the
side he would take.
