Only q Bluff.

The monied men of Great Britain
who declaimed so violently against
the budget because of the additional
taxes upon incomes, inheritances and
land are not at all consistent. They
protested that it would compel them
to live in other lands and to invest
their money entirely in foreign Sc
curities. But when the London
County Council recently issued a call
tor loan of two and half million
pounds these same monied men al
most fell over one another to take
it up, and the total amount offered
the Council was one hundred and
twenty-five millions pounds. At the
same time the German government
asked for forty millions and made a
much better offer, and yet the total
amount offered was but seventy-four
millions of pounds. All Of which
goes to show that the threat Of f.
nanciers to desert England was a
mere bluff made to scare the gov
ernment.

A dispatch from Aiken to. The

drinking several draclms Of lauda-

COTTON CROP IN BAD SHAPE.
No Crop in Central Texas and
Farmers in Bad Fix.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat,
in its first report on the cotton crop.
summarizes conditions as follows:
There has been moderate de-
crease in acreage-probsbly about 5
per cent.
Taking the belt as whole, the
condition Of the plant leaves much
to be desired.
The supply of labor is fairly ad-
equate, as a rule, though there is a
good deal Of complaint in some Sec
tons"
Among the reports from The cot
ton belt Of unusual features is the
following from Austin, Texas:
That Central Texas is without
cotton crop, with half Of the month
Of June gone by, may be a state
Of affairs difficult to imagine, yet
such is the case, and to farmers Of
this section it is a sad reality.
This is generally admitted
throughout the rural precincts, and
it is believed that the same condit-s
ions exist throughout the State and
most of the Southwest. The State
department of agriculture in this
city confirms this statement. In fact.
there is So little cold ground that
comparison between the acreage
of this year and that of-last,. is next
to impossible. About the only cot
ton well grown at the present time
has been raised almost exclusively
by the hot house method.
This is certainly gloomy outlook
for the Texas farmers, and means
great reduction in the cotton crop of
that State. As far as heard from,
the crop in Orangeburg county is do
ing fairly well and with good sea-
sons from now on, fair crop will
be made in this section.

THE PEOPLE ROBBED
A TARIFF FOR THE PURPOSE OF
PROTECTION IS GRAFT.
1t Give, Few the Privilege by Law
Of Pleying Upon the Rest Of the
People.

Former Governor Joseph ". Felix.
stopping in Denver after trip
through the West gave an interview
to the Denver News in which inter-
view he said: From what I have
learned in my trip through the West,
l can say that the Democratic party
will undoubtedly win out in the next
presidential election. And tariff IS
at the bottom of it all. The dis
cussion of that great national and
international topic has made it clear
to the people that the tariff is tax.
They are awakening to the injus-
tice of so.o00,oo0 people being tax
ed to make a few very rich. and. that
it is more important that all Of the
people be prosperous than some Of
the people be extremely wealthy
Instead of protecting monopoly
against the people. the demand now
is that people be protected against
monopoly. A tariff for the purpose
of protection is graft. 1t is a PrIVl-
lege conferred on the faw to prey
upon the rest of the people.
IF the Democratic party will stand
for the real principles of Democracy,
which are opposition to the privilege
of lawlessness and privileges coz
ferred By law, it will succeed. The
trouble has been that so many who
call themselves Democrats voted
against the party's principles when
they see a chance Of getting a part
of the graft for their OWE States OK
districts. This must stop, ne in
terjected emphatically.
The great fighter Of graft anc
crime took occasion to cr!ticise Sc
verely the stand taken by number
of Democrats in the present congress
He insisted that recent votes in tha
body indicated clearly that they aae
deserted the teachings Of their OWL
!. party and had declared without th'
least hesitation for the nonopol:
tariff as framed by the RePuo!!cSs
party. :.
"As a matter Of fact" be said
"the tariff discussion in eoagres
; seems to have degenerated into
game of grab, with many OF tn
} senator's and representatives try1n
} TO get part of the loot for thel
| own districts. The Democratic part
must stand squarely against the mo
, nopoly tariff and for equal right
5 to all, otherwise it stands for notn
ing, And then. if the party declare
bodily for the rights Of all. as OF
: posed to the privileges Of few.
I will win.

Edwards was painfully hurt and :
Kirby dangerously shot.
Kirby was at DR.. Edwards Office
in Latta Tuesday morning, where
sharp words passed between them,
growing out of some previous mis-
understanding. DR.. Edwards and
Kirby met again a few hours after
at the home Of julie Kirby, brother
of John, at Dothan. four miles from
Dillon, where Dr.. Edwards was at
tending one of the family.
The difficulty was at once renew

life was in danger and drawing his
pistol, placed the muzzle against his
antagonist, firing four times in rap.

and front, about the short ribs.
Three of them passed entirely.

fourth struck just below the left
arm-pit and lodged in the chest cavi-
ty. The physicians regard his con-
dition as exceedingly grave. DR..
Edwards is painfully but is not con-
sidered seriously hurt.
1t is said that Kirby, who was in
La drunken rage, was angry with
Edwards and before he arrived at
Jules home had made threats that
he, Kirby, would give Edwards one
of the worst beatings he ever had.
Upon Edwards arrival he began curs-
ing him and Edwards, seeing Johns

COTTON REPORT
RESULTS OF THE STUDY OF AN
EXPERT PUBLISHED.
Increased Demand for Upland Cot
ton Has Resulted in the Develop
inc Of Better Grades.

Daniel C. Roper, of the United
States census bureau. has just pre-
pared comprehensive report on the
cotton industry in the United States
last year.
The increased demand in recent
years for. superior staples is develop
ing better varieties Of upland cotton
by seed selection and more careful
cultivation. The United States de-
partment of agriculture has been and
is now rendering very valuable SER
vice in assisting the growers along
these lines. The long staples grown
chiefly in the portion of the MIssls-
siDpi Valley, which extends from
vicksburg to Memphis, a region
about 81 miles wide and 200 miles
long, are receiving more attention
than heretofore.
The fiber of much Of the cotton
grown in this TERRITORY measures
from one and one-fourth to one and
seYenth-eighth inches in length, and
the avearge yield is about one bale
to the acre. The seeds of these
fancy varieties have been planted IL
localities outside of this region the
last two or three years with crafty
ing results, as the staple not lnf-e-
quently commands a premium OF
from 5 tt. 10 cents a pound over mid
ddling upland.
Unfortunately. few Of the loca!i-
ties producing this cotton are sup
piled with the ginning faci'ities besi
suited Soc the prop@i treatment o!
the fiber; saw gins, whica cut ard
break the fiber, are generally en-
ployed. In contrast with this pTac
tice attention is directed to the fac
that the Egyptian and sea island
cottons are treated by roller gins
which contribute to regularity ane
. uniformity in the fiber.
; The increase in the imports o.
! foreign cottons which come in com
petition with sea island and othe
superior cottons grown in this coun
try has aroused the American grow
| ers, as is evidenced by the fact that
. when the Payne tariff bill was re

t be imposed on the marked Taluatio
of all foreign grown cotton importe
into America, which can be used a
, a substitute or competitor by Amer
ican mills against similar grades rails
ed in this country.
: It may be stated in this connec
ton that the importation Of foreig
cotton for the year ending Angus
r 81. 1908, amounted to 143,490 bale
y of 500 pounds each, Of which 122
