generally produce a ton Of dwarf
broom corn.
The average value of dwarf
and standard broom corn is about
the same, but when short and
fine, and suitable for fine small
brooms, the dwarf brings the
better price. If cut Immediately
after the brush is harvested the
fodder of the dwarf broom corn
is equal to that of Indian corn,
but the standard is little valued
as fodder.
One Illinois grower states that
there is the same profit in broom
corn at $75 per ton as in Indian
corn at 80 cents per bushel. The
average price per ton from 1877
to 1901, as given in the statisti-
cal report Of the Illinois Board Of
Agriculture for December, 1901,
is $79.S9.
The great risk Of loss because
Of bad weather and the extra
care necessary to harvest a crop
naturally make broom corn
growing less desirable than corn

can be derived.
The difficulty In getting reIa-

AWAITING D|SPENSARy TURN.
SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT MADE
By JUDGE DEVORE.
Richland Grand Jury Instructed to
Return Next Wcdnesday-"The At
tOrney General Will Have Some
thing for You Then" Says Court
VIII be Handed Out i'm Dispensary.

Columbia, June 2.-Judge DeVOre
announced in Court of Sessions this
morning that, at the request of the
Attorney Generals office the grand
THE Attorney General will have
something for you them" was the
statement made in court today. The
grand jury had been asked to return
today, and 1t was generally expected
that some dispensary indictments
would be handed out, but, in accord
ance with the statement from the Of
flee Of the Attorney General, the mat
ter is postponed.
Attorney General Lyon was not in
the city, and it is thought that he is
now making arrangements for some
dispensary fire which will be started
up next week in the courts of this
county. A number of attorneys and
others interested in the dispensary
situation appeared in the court room
this morning expecting something to
turn up in the dispensary cases. The
grand jury has some minor indict-
ments to consider, and then stood ad-
journed until next Wednesday, when
it will return. Gen. John D. Frost,
former Adjutant General Of this State,
is foreman Of the grand jury.
With the dismissing of the grand
jury, for the time being, interest in
the dispensary cases does not end,
and there is yet much speculation as
to what the Attorney General pro-
poses to do at this term of the court.
The general impression today appear
ed to be that the indictments to be
handed out to the grand jury would
represent new matter entirely.

To Health.
From The Tucson, Ari., Press.

From The Tucson, Ari., Press.
Hon. j. Knox Corbett returned this
morning from Washington bearing
assurances from President Taft that
the executive is doing everything in
his power to accomplish Statehood for
Arizona, and believes that the State
hood measure will pass during the
present session of congress. The pres
course of a conference at the White
House at which Postmaster General
Frank II. Hitchcock, Mr.. Corbett, and
Delegate Cameron were present, to-
gether with Delegate Andrews Of New
Mexico and four Of his constituents.
II am making every honorable ef-
fort possible to bring about Statehood
for Arizona" said President Taft
"Some Of the older senators are not
entirely favorable to the creation Of
more Western senator's, but 1 believe
1 shall be able to overcome that sem
timent'
Everyone with whom Mr.. Corbett
conversed on the subject Of Statehood
for the territories seemed to believe
it would be accomplished before the
end of the present session of congress
and judging from their opinions Mr..
Corbett is decidedly optimistic con-
corning the situation.
He is perhaps the happiest man in
Tucson today from another cause
Several years ago he suffered a fall
which left his lower limbs partially
paralyzed. To such an extent was
this true that he could not walk more
than few steps without great ia
tigue. This affliction caused him to
seek the services of a practitioner of
wide reputation known as "Bonese+-
ter" Reese in Youngstown, Ohio. Mr.
Corbett was just an hour on Reese's
operating table. During that time the
surgeon discovered that four verte-
brae of Mr.. Corbetts spinal column
were dislocated and that two liga-
ments in one foot were so badly dis
placed as to make the foot practical
ly useless. Both the vertebrae and
the ligaments were quickly readjusted
and Mr.. Corbett spent the evening
walking about town, enjoying the
normal use of his body for the first
time since his injury. All the way
home from Youngstown he was COM
pletely happy and he is still happy.
Il feel richer than Carnegie's or
Rockefellers money could make me-"
said he today, "and I would not
change back to my former condition
for all their wealth."
After leaving Tucson several weeks
ago, Mr.. Corbett went to New Orleans
and from there to his old home in
Sumter, South Carolina, where his
parents still reside. Their golden
wedding was held during his visit,
and that event was Mr.. Corbett's chief
reason for making the eastern trip.

BIG CROP NEEDED.
New Orleans Paper Makes Analysis Of
The Situation.

In comprehensive review lately OF
the cotton situation, The New Orleans
Picayune argues in favor of a larger
production of the staple, declaring
that while the speculative element ol
the market is continually advocating
short crops and high prices it will be
mistake for the American farmers
to allow these arguments to initiate
against a liberal planting.
In taking this position, this paper
which is expert in the cotton business
declares that the crop Of the past year
was disastrously small and the season
ends with the shortest visible and in
visible stocks in a long number of
years. In the main the ideas Of this
paper are harmonious with those of
the farmers in general for the reason
that the curtailed production Of the
past year admittedly necessitates a
larger yield for the new season, in
order to meet the actual necessities
and requirements of the world.
n big crop would sell not only at
satisfactory but at paying prices be-
cause every bale of it will be needed.
With a short crop coming n top of
the crop failure Of last year famine
prices will be experienced but as al
way happens under such conditions
profits, instead of being equitably dis.
tributed, will accrue to a compara-
lively few people, the balance being
left to suffer, the results of disastrous
ly small yields, which no amount of
high prices can make profitable.
moreover. another short yield coming
on top of the scarcity Of the past sea-
son would demoralize the spinning in
dustry of the world.
The Picayune believes therefore,
that there is every incentive for farm
ers to repair the damage done by the
cold weather of April and the back
Wardness of the season generally.
Nothing is to be gained by a short
crop, while good crop is certain to
sell at paying prices. The mere plant
ing of a reasonable acreage does not in
sure good crop, but the careful cul-
tivation of a reasonable acreage does
help materially to produce the best
results 1t would, therefore, be i'll ad-
vised to permit early disCOuragemants
to cause an abandonment of an, Of
the normal cotton acreage as long as
it is possible TO rcplant. While the
season has been backward and there
has been a notable absence Of suni-
Cicnt moisture, it is still early enough
for these adverse conditions to
change. \ big cotton crop is abso-
lutcly needed, no matter what the
spectators may say, and there never
was a time when there was a greater
certainty that a big crop would prove
profitable.

TOM JOHNSON WITH BRYAN.
Is Against Harmon On Ohio Senator
ship and Wants Convention Name
Democratic Candidate.
(From the New York Sum-


The Ohio Democratic State conven-
ton Is to be held at Dayton on June
21 and %, Gov. Judson Harmon is TO
be renominated, but the convention,
which has promised to be serene and
harmonious, Is to be the scene of tur-
bulent dissension. William j. Bryan
has taken Governor Harmon to task
and insisted that the Demo cratic cam
didate for United States Senator shall
be named by the convention, and
Governor Harmon has demurred to
Bryan's programme. Tom l.. John
son, Of Cleveland, still in town yes
terday. made 1t known to his friends
that he had joined hands with Bryan
In the contention and would go to
Dayton at the head Of the Cuyahoga
County Democratic delegation and in
sist that the candidate for Senator be
named by the convention.
Mr.. Johnson's stand in the matter
was very important news to Newton
ID. Baker. City Solicitor Of Cleveland,
who came on to New York to attend
the dinner given at the Hotel Astor
on Monday in Mr.. Johnson's honor,
and to the New York Democrats to
whom Mr.. Johnson impaired his in
tentions. Also there was considerable
surprise at the new alliance which
Mr.. Johnson has formed with Mr..
Bryan. Mr.. Johnson admitting that
he had discussed with Mr.. Bryan, be-
fore the latter left for Europe, the
naming Of the candidates for Senator
in the Ohio convention.
The surprise of Mr.. Johnson Ohio
Democratic friends and of hi New
York Democratic friends over his do
termination to fight Governor Uar-
mon on this matter and his rene we'd
relations with Mr.. Bryan was due to
the fact that since the Denver ma
tional convention Of 1908 Mr.. John
son has been very cool, II not down.
right unfriendly, to Mr.. Bryan.
UP to Mr.. Bryan's talk with Mr..
Johnson, before the former left for Eu-
rope, Mr.. Johnson was counted as one
Of Governor Harmons' allies. Bryan
told Johnson that he was going to
make the same fight In Ohio that he
had made In Indiana when he urged
Governor Marshall. of the Hoosier
State. to compel the State convention
to name the candidate for United
states Senator. Tom Taggart was op-
posed to the Bryan Marshall pro-
posed to the Bryan Marshall program,
but Taggart was beaten, and John
w. Kern, the Vice Presidential candi-
date on the Bryan ticket in 1908 was
named by the Indiana convention for
United States Senator.
Now Bryan and Johnson have Join
ed hands in the effort to compel Gov
ernor Harmon and Harmon's friends
in the approaching Dayton convention
to do likewise.
Bryan and Johnson will not oppose
Governor Harmon's denomination.
They are to confine their present fight
against him to the Senatorship pro-
gramme. The present legislature has
81 Republican majority on joint bal.
lot.
