Seventeen counties in Florida are
now producing the long-staple cotton.
It can be grown in more than half
the counties of the State. Suitable
soil. climate, and conditions exist
in Georgia. South Carolina and Flori-
da. and, to a certain extent and de-
gree, the Mississippi Delta. to supply
the world. and as a revenue-pro-
ducing item is would prove one of
the best among all the schedules. 1t
is an important industry. If | en-
ployed the language of the authors
of this measure, ! would say the
farmers engaged in it very justly
contend that they ought not to be
forced to abandon it by competition
with Egyptian cheap labor in the
fertile Nile region. We pay from 81
to S1.25 per day for labor which in
Egypt ranges about one-tonth that.
TIE land there is very rich and does
not require fertilizing like ours.
When We say the country needs the
revenue which a tariff on that for
eicn product would yield. and such
tariff IS required to help ennalizn
the cost Of production abroad with
that 1T homo. th>re would seem to
he sufficient stated to show the pro-
nriety and Justice of the claim we
make from both stan1pOints.
In the year ending June 30. 1909,
cotton was imnorted into this coun-
try free to the amount OF 1O.994.-
oGS mounds. the value Of which was
s1t.tG4.40 at 90 cents per pound,
Waste or focks imported free
amounted to 10.7oS.26S nonnds. val
ued at s4iG.261.14 at ~ cents per

Duty should be imposed on al
cotton imported so there could he
raised no question regarding proper
designation at, say. to s cents pei

importation last year of cotton. moi
counting waste or flocks, would have
yielded a revenue of s7.099,496.S0.

Burning Buildings.

News from Adana in Asiatic Tur-
key say the place is still lawless.
More people were killed in the city
Tuesday. There are 10000 dead in
Adana province as result of the
massacre, and $4,000 homeless and
penniless refugees are wandering in
the villayet.
The deaths in Adana city alone are
estimated at $500.
Adana is terrorized by 1000 SOL
diers, who are looting, shooting and
burning. No respect is paid to for
eign properties. Both the French
schools have been destroyed, and it
is feared that the American school,
commercial and missionary interests
in Adana are totally ruined.
The new vail has not as yet in
spired confidence. There is reason
to believe that the authorities still
intend to permit the determination
of all Christians. The troops here
are making a pretence Of throwing
water on the flames; instead Of wa
ter they use kerosene and are thus
purposely adding to the conflagration.
Apprehension is felt regarding the
American missionary stations at
Hadjin and Tarsus. All letters and
kilograms sent out through Turkish
channels are censored.
Sickening Atrocities.
News from Tarsus says authentic
details of the atrocities committed by
the fanatical Mohammedans in the
Villages and farms in this district
are now coming in to Tarsus with
sickening abundance. The worst
particulars Of these narratives cannot
ha mentioned, but they set forth
without doubt that at least 10000
persons lost their lives in this pro-
vince, and some estimates place the
total casualty list at $4,000. VIII
liages like Osmanieh. Bazsche, Ham,
adeih, Kara, Kristiau. Keoy and Ke-
zolook, were actually wiped out. Each
of these places had populations of
from 500 to 500 people, In one
town of 1000 people, there are less
than 100 left. nearly all women and
children. Entire families were burn
ed to death in their homes. Hun
dreds of girls and women were NAL
treated and carried off to the harems.
The correspondent was Informed that
in one place party of 100 Armen-
ians surrendered to the soldiers. The
prisoners were taken to an open field
/ and the women WIRE ordered to
stand apart from the men. Every
one of the men were shot.
Young Turks around Tarsus are
trading young Armenian girls among
each other for horses and modern re-
peating rifles.

CANNOT BE SOLD
SWIFT & COMPANY MAY SHIP
CONDEMNED MEAT.
Car Containing Damaged Food Will
Be Sealed by City Inspector and
Opened at Factory Tank.

A dispatch from Greenville says
City Meat Inspector Smith and City
Attorney Mccullough were in con-
ference Monday afternoon with rep
resentatives of the Swift Packing
Company regarding the disposition
of the 10000 pounds of meat con-
demned Saturday, owing to its hav-
ing been soaked in sewage. At a
meeting of the board of health held
at 5 o'clock DR.. Smith reported that
the packing company would be al
lowed to ship the meat, which is
valued at over $4,000, to one Of it's
soap plants, with the understanding
that the car be sealed here by the
inspector and opened at the soap
works and consigned to the tank by
a government inspector.
The condemning of the meat and
it's disposition have caused consider
able agitation in Greenville. When
the packing company's representative
arrived he gave out the statement
that he was constrained to follow
any suggestion Inspector Smith
might make in the matter, but not
withstanding the authorities will
take every precaution to see that
the inspectors orders are carried
out to the letter Acting in the mat
ter DR.. Smith not only had the local
authorities behind him but he was
backed up by DR.. Williams Of the
State board. A number of towns in
the State wired asking for informa-
ton concerning the disposition Of the
condemned meat. Spartanburg and
Columbia being among the cities to
make inquiry.
In an interview G. W. Chandler,
manager of the Southern business of
Swift & Co., said that his concern
had no idea of endeavoring to sell
the meat which was condemned Sat.
urday by Inspector Smith. He de-
clared his willingness to make any
disposition of the meat that is de-
sired by the city authorities.

says it is said that the Sultan con-

Since the deposition Of Abdul

of the women of the imperial harem
from the Yildiz Kiosk.
Monday forty-five carriages. each
containing two or three women, and
later fifteen more, were seen proceed
ing to Stambonl. 1t is evident that
the total number of fair prisoners

FOUR MEN HANG
Young Turks Execute Thirteen
More People
PLANED BY SULTAN
Evidence Discovered That Abdul
Hamid Knew beforehand of the
Adana Massacres-List orr Houses
With Notes Of the Kind of Loot
to Be Found.


Thirteen civilians and soldiers
sentenced by the Military Court to
death for murder were hanged in
different parts of Constantinople at
o'clock Monday morning.
Major Youssef, his son and three
other men, who killed the Syrian
deputy, Emir Mohammed Arslan, in
front of the Parliament building,
were executed on the spot where they
committed the crime.
Five others were hanged at the
entrance of the ministry of war and
three men at the Stamboul end of
the Galata bridge. Upon the breast
of each criminal had been placed a
large placard in Turkish, setting
forth the sentence of the Court.
Around the foot of the gibbets on
the bridge the early morning buyers
of fruits, flowers and vegetables pro-
ceeded as usual, while the bodies
were in full sight of TIE great crowds
that made their way over the bridge
between Stamboul and Galata.
Major Youssef was commandant
of the 1st battalion of the 7th reg
iment. Among the non-commission-
ed officers executed was Hamid Bin
Yechar, a sergeant in the fourth bat
tallion of the Saloniki chasseurs. The
men executed on Galata bridge were
guilty of the murder of Lieut.. Ellis.
Major Youssef was the man who,
after the murder of Deputy Arsian.
made his way to the house Of Par
lament. and in a speech denounced
the members for acting against the
laws of the Koran.
Yechar was the man who planned
the details of the revolt of April 13.
and was commander-in-chief and
practically dictator Of Constantine
p1e for the two days following. The
other eleven men worked under
Yechar.
Mourad, editor of the newspaper
Nizam, was tried by court-martail to-
day.
A member of the conrt-martial
read the Sultan's frmin. confrming g
the sentences of each place of execu-
tion. and priests prayed with the
condemned men for two hours before
their execution.
The bodies We're left hanging until
9 o'clock and were seen by at least
one hundred thousand of the popu-
lation of the city.
Documentary evidence has been
discovered among the records o. the
telegraph Office here of the knn"i-
edge OF the Constantinonle authori-
ties that massacres had been planned
for the Adana district. and that they
were to coincide with the political
events here.
Other papers have been found in
dica ting also that the consnirators
at the palace acted in the Sultan's
name in preparing the military mutt
nv of April IL. Lists of houses. with
notes of the kind of loot to he found
therein, were discovered on some of
the prisoners now in custody. The
arrangements included a general
massacre Of foreigners in Constanti-
nople. including the diplomatic rep
resentatives on April "a.
