lFrom Monday 5 DaIly.l


The sensational clubbing of Clifford
Whitaker, on Saturday night, the
subsequent arrest Of his brother. VIII
Whitaker, sergeant-at-arms Of the
House of Representatives and candi-
date for sheriff, and the probability of
the preferment of charges against
members of the local police force,
were topics of conversation on every
street corner in Columbia today.
While the police are reticent, and
their version of the affair could not
be obtained, it appears that late Sat
urday afternoon members of the police
force arrested Clifford Whitaker as
he was walking on the East side OF
the public square between Chafin 5
and Streets store houses. 1t is said
that the officers in efTecting Whitta-
kers arrest beat him up badly, strik-
ing him over the head with their
maces. leaving wounds from which
the blood flowed with great profusion.
and necessitating the attention OF a
physician. This. however, is denied
and from the physicians statement it
is evident that the injuries were not
serious. Ii is understood that the Off
GERS claim that only one lick was
struck.
Later in the evening Will Whitaker
was arrested at the Grand Opera
House. where he had gone for the
purpose of consulting Recorder Erwin
regarding the admission of his brother
to bond. Mr.. Whitaker, who is a man Of
powerful physique, is credited with
kicking one of the officers down the
stair. Practically the entire police
force was used in making the arrest
Will Whitaker talked freely of the
affair today, declaring that both he
and his brother were outrageOusly
treated, and that petty politics was at
the bottom OF the whole affair. He
characterized the arrest of his brother
as an unwarranted assault, and stated
that he would bring a criminal action
against the police officers who struck
him, and would also prefer charges
against them before the police COM
mittee of the City Council.
There are no better known citizens
in the county than viii and Clifford
Whitaker, and their friends are very
much incensed at the treatment they
are said to have received. During the
last session of the legislature VIII
Whitaker made an enviable reputa-
ton as sergeant-at-arms of the House.
Later he announced himself candi-
date for sheriff of Maury county.
The family connection is large, with
ramifications throughout the county.

THE whole affair was an outrage.
I shall prosecute the officers who
made the assault upon my brother and
shall also prefer charges against them

for the arrest Of either OF US as a
plain statement OF the facts will show.

A Polite AmSweY TO a CiviL
Question

Gentlemen, do you understand why Mr.. Bacon
didn't understands"
This question is shot at us and others in
Bro. Duckworth's paper,-the reference be-
ing to Senator Bacons statement in the Sen
ate that, II did not know the fact at the time
| addressed the chair, that that has been prac-
tically disposed of by the adoption of an
amendment putting bagging upon the free
list'.
What happened is simple enough. Sena-
tors McLaurin of Mississippi, and Bacon of
Georgia, have for many years been working
hard to get the tarif-tax off the iute bagging
used in baling cotton.
Time and again, they have succeeded in the
Senate, but the Conference Committee inva-
rlably restores the tax.
At the extra session, these two Senators
were again trying to amend the tariff bill, so
as to put cotton bagging on the free list.
On June %, when Senator Bacon rose and
offered his amendment, he was informed pri-
vately that Senator McLaurin had already
got his amendment in. Bacon had probably
stepped out of the chamber for a few mo-
ments, or he may not have heard the clerk
read the McLaurin amendment.
The simple truth is, that Bacon, steadily
pursuing his purpose of getting the tax off
the jute, was anticipated, by few moments,
by Senator McLaurin.
The amendment, as usual, got knocked out
in the Conference Committee which the Dem
ocratic deserters had enabled Speaker Can
non to "pack".
AS one of these deserters represents Bro.
Duckworth's district, we trust that Bro D.
will show him up.

The Price of Cotton

You see where cotton has gone to, don't
you?
1t is today FRIDAY, August 49, nearly 10
cents, and the market is strong.
But it doesn't do you any good Your cot
ton had to be sold, long ago. You had to
turn loose at cents, or s, or 8.
And so it will ever be, until you have a
warehouse system with the certificate feature
attached.
Unsold crops ought, also, to be exempt
from taxation. What is the sense or justice
of timing q cotton grocer for not selling has
cotton IN October or November?
If he dumps his crop on the market as soon
as it leaves the gin, he pays no tax on it.
But if he is dissatisfied with the price, and
wants to hold over till next spring or sum-
mer, when the price almost always advances,
he must pay taxes on the same cotton
In other words, the state fines him for hold
eng his crop.
