The cotton mills are threaten
ing to shut down if the price of
cotton continues to remain at
present prices. We think they
are bluffiag and have no such
thought seriously. They are un-.
der contract to furnish manufac.
tured goods, and they mast fulfill
these contracts, regardless Of the
price they must pay for the raw
product. Therefore their threat
to shut down will not frighten
anybody, such threats have been
made before: and at one time had
its effect, but now the people are
enlightened and are as well post
ed as is the average speculator.
No, the mills will not shut down
but if the worse comes to the
worse and the farmers act with
proper judgment the mills Will
be paying more for cotton and
will beg to get it. So do not let
the threats cause any unusual
rush os cotton on the market. and
only sell enough to meet obliga-
lions for the present.

The city Of New York is in the
throes of another municipal cam
paign which may have some
bearing on the future national
election. William Randolph
Hearst has permitted himself to
be nominated for Mayor of Great
er New York, and what he will
do for Tammany is a foregone
conclusion. It was this same
Hearst who scattered ruin to
many prominent men all over
the country, ard when turns his
hose on the New York politicians

old town.

There are number Of frater-
ma! organizations in this State
that are none other than con-
Germs organized to evade the ia.
Surance laws, and our insurance
commissioner is very properly
getting after them. Il be has
no law to put them out Of bust
ness, or collect a license fee for
doing business in this State,
then the legislature should pro-
vide the means to protect the
people from these law evad.rs.
Mr.. McMasser, the commissioner,
is sending out letters to the
members of the general assembly
directing their attention to this
matter, and it is to be hoped
that some steps will be taken to
rid this State of fake insurance
companies, whether they claim
to be benevolent associations or
not. It would be safe plan to
leave the commissioner full pow
er to decide what shall or shall
not do an insurance business In
this State.

dispute the assertion Of The
TINES that 4 large portion of
the citizens of Columbia endorse

TINES with regard to its diSap

relating to the jury and the re-
suit OF the Farnum case. We
wonder what The State takes Us
for anyway? DID THE TINES
name twelve or ten times twelve
OF Colum bias citizens, Tie State
would in ali probability claim
they were not representative
citizens. So what's the use?
The State asks US, "Does THE
Tines believe Farnum, gave it
(neaning the draft as a bribe or
;ust for love?" It matters not
what the editor Of TIE TINES
believes, the evidence which
came from the stand was for the
jury to consider, aud there was
no corroborative proof that the
draft was given as a bribe.
TIE TINES is not now, nor
mas it ever been in hiding, it has
always been in the open, and we
stand on the record this news

but it regards fanaticism equiv

The accused are citizens Of q
county which boasts of a con-

guarantees to every man the
protection Of the promises in

the State of South Carolina must
depend upon the testimony OF a

concede Wylie is q bought &c,
ccmplice, we VIII have more
| confidence IN the confession OF
this man Wylie, if he will first
give back to the State the money
he confesses to have stolen. Let
Wylie make restitution first, be-
cause we can eaSily ly see why It
is he does not want to say the
money paid HIM was for q rebate.
He can. under the promise of
freedom, say with impunity that
he was bribed and be robbed the
people who trusted him. as long
as IN saying so he is not forced
into a position TO diSgorge.
We will now try to answer
some more Of our contemporaries
questions.
docs the editor OF THE TINES be-
;ieve that Farnum bribed Wylie? Does
he believe money passed from Farcum
70 Wylie? Does he believe FarnuH
gave money 70 Wylie Us rebate" TO
be paid into the State treasury? Does
he believe that Wylie was bribed by
other people and laid the blame on
Farnum, aud that little Jim was so
shocked by the injustice tha. he could
no: stand Up in court ike ! man and
deny the charge?
'.If . man is guilty OF bribery and de-
bauchery OF public officials, does Editor
Applet believe ne should escape puh-
ishnent because the chief witness
against him is one whom he has de-
bauched?
"Why this appearance o: THE TzaIEs
IN behalf OF the defense?''
1st. We are not required to
give a personal opinion, and if
We gave it, it would have no
bearing on the case.
End. Yes. We believe money
passed between Farnum and
Wylie, because it seems to have
been the system of these trusted
State ohCE..ls to hold up the peo-
pie the dispensary officials did
business with, and force them to
give e commission or rebate or
brabe; We believe money passed.
3rd. There is no convincing
evidence that Farnum gave
Wylie money other than the
money the board demanded. and
Farnum was not called upca to
see where the board or Wylie
put this money. into the treasury,
his pocket, or stocking.
4th. We believe Wylie and his
entire board, and their predeces-
sors held mp every liquor drum
mer and liquor house that had
any business with tie dispensary
at any time from the frst bill of
goods bought until the hive OF
corruption was closed, whether
they turned over the money to the
State they extorted through their
official positions, is another mat.

ter: if they did not; they stole
the peoples money and they
should be punished, but we could
not find where there was any cor
roborative evidence that Farnum
bribed Wylie at all, hence the
only excuse Wylie had for say
ing Farnum bribed him lies in
! the desire to save his own carcass
from sweltering in prison and a
still greater desire to swing on to
/ the loot he stole. Farnum had 10
reason to deny the charge made
by WyIie, because nowhere in
Wylie'S evidence was there proof
the money alleged to have been
given by Farnum was bribe,
and as rebates had been a com
mon method Of conducting the
liquor business from It's incep-
ton, the jury did not have con
vincing proof that this money
was given for, or iE any other
than the usual rebate method,
which was not prohibited by law.
5th. # the chief witness is q
conscience stricken man, and has
first made restitution. and testi-
ties becuse of feeling it duty,
and is not prompted by motive
of saving his hide and his stolen
loot too, then We think his testi-
mony should be given weight,
and if corroborated, the man
who is proven to have debauch.
ed public officials should be pun
,shed, but when the proof is that
the deoauchery vas q demand Of
the public officials, then we
would hesitate about convicting
the private citizen charged, but
if there is any way of sending the
officials to the peaitentiary it
would afford a special delight and
serve justice to send them.
9th. The TINES came into
this discussion with no idea Of
defending any of the accused,
nor did it get into it to criticise
the Attorney General, or the
management Of the prosecution,
but the editorials in The State
were so extreme and so denuncl-
atory Of the jury, that it seemed
clear it IS to the purpose Of our
contemporary to build senti-
ment for the guidance OF future
iuries that will have the trial Of
these cases, and in the interest Of
fair play, aud in order that the
accused may enjoy the rights
they are entitled to under the
constitution, We protested against
The States terrific arraignment
Of the twelve men who we have
no reason to believe were
prompted by dishonest motives
IN rendering their verdict We
had a right to defend the jurors,
and ask that the trial Of men
charged with crime should be
according to the law and the
evidence, without having our
reasons or motives questioned by
The State.
We want the wrong-doers pun
iShed, not through an inaamed
prejudice, but under the law, as
it is written, not as conditions
would seem to have it.
