ting n case apparently Of macilious
mischief which might have caused the
loss of many lives at early hour to-

tearing up a hundred yards OF track

cotton, Outside of DrOughty District
OF Texas. Shows Prospects OF a
Good Crop.

New Orleans. Aug. 14.-In present
ing regular monthly reports of all
sections of the cotton belt as to prog
ress of the cotton crop, The Times
Democrat will say tomorrow that the
consensus of opinion is as follows:
Outside of the droughty districts
OF Texas distinct improvement has
been the rule, but within the droughty
districts of that State the deteriora-
ton has been very great.
Except in Oklahoma, where timely
rains have made the outlook almost
ideal, the crop is spotted. With the
exception of Texas. the movement
promises to be late because Of the
hackWardness Of the plant. Farmers
would in most cases sell freely If they
could.
Much complaint of destruction by
boil weeVil comes from parts Of
Louisiana and Mississippi, but the
pest seems to have done less damage
than usual elsewhere.

are still cautious about booking con-
tracts into the new cotton year and

The cotton outlook is still hazy TO
manufacturers although most of them

Buyers are willing to concede the
probability Of continued high cost OF
production but are not keen in anti
clpating rise in cloth production.
Amoskeag tickings have been ad-
Vanced 1-2c. a yard. some numbers

COTTON CROP IMPROVES
Ha'e FROST Will Cause Fair to Good
Production i'm Most States.

Memphis, Aug. 13.-The follow;ne
oo''on crop summary will be pub
lished by The Commercial. Apnea,
tomorrow:
For three successive weoks co+ton
mas improved in the State east of
the Mississippi and its promise is now
Ialr TO good. The crop is late and
would be seriously damaged bv an
e"rly frost while frost later than
usual is needed to allow the fullest
promise to be matured. The plant
within the past two weeks has grown
very rapidly and is attaining fair size
IL Is setting bolls quite satisfactorily
ana the firm tone is decidedly more
optimistic.
such rains as fell in the past week
were beneficial. They were local in
man sections, however, and the Car
olinas and parts of Georgia would be
benefited by general precipitation.
Even in the earliest sections Of
this Eastern belt there is very little
cotton that is ready to open and the
movement to market will be DELAYED
we'll into September unless drought
later on. should force premature
openings.
boil weevils are active in Louisiana
and Mississippi and are doing some
more harm than was earlier antici-
pated
In Texas no rain fell except in
some Of the Rcd River counties and
the crop lost -rround steadily.
Cotton is opening very RAPIDLY in
southern and southwestern counties
and is being rushed to market as fast
as possible by the farmers. In west
ern Texas where within the past few
years there has been a rapid expan-
sion in cotton growing, the crop is al
most a failure and in many places ia
beyond repair but good crops are the
rule in the northern tier Of Texas
counties"

To the Editor OF The State:
I regret TO see In today's issue of
your paper that our Abbevllle associa-
ton has rushed into print" in defense
OF Mr. Featherstone as the prohibit
tion candidate for governor. Espe-
cialiy so as there are two other pro-
hibition candidates without blemish
I'm the field.
I have read carefully every edho-
rial OF yours commenting on Mr.. Fea-
therstone's course. and there is not
an expression unsupported by the
facts OF this case-not a line that can
be termed unjust. When Mr.. Feather
= ston first became a candidate, his
prghibitin views were so clearly akin
TO license as TO win a large part of
the liquor vote of Charleston. II the
prohibitionists of the State had voted
for him. as did the liquor element of
Charleston. he would have been elect
ed. Ever since 1898 he has been
printing his views and interviews so
that every intelligent man In the State
knows he did not reach a clear-cut
prohibition platform until a majority
OF the voters had expressed them
~r'vee n, ftvcro of a.. ~. g.yi
Quite a number OF prominent pro-
hibitionists met In Columbia. June Is.
1895. and adopted a resolution In IA
vor OF calling a state convention and
appointed a committee to arrange for
and call the convention. When the
committee met (Oct. 26). during fair
week. Mr.. Featherstone was present
and moved. "That II would be unwise
10 put In the field a State prohibition
ticket" and II was adopted. Finding
he had a majority of the few present
voting with him. he then moved.
That hereafter all OF the work OF the
prohibitionlsts be done through the
Law and order League" What looks
80 bad about the matter Is not the
purpose to disband the prohibitionists,
but the fact that Mr.. Featherstone
had. just n few weeks before, Joined
I'm a meeting to put In the field
State ticket on prohibition-license
platform.
IL he participated In that meeting
In the Jerome hotel. ne had no moral
right In the prohibition committee.

county prohibition unless the people
of that county vote for prohibition.
1T Is this view IN the liquor ques-
tion that has gained for Mr.. Mcleod
many friends even among prohibition
lists. There has been much misun-
derstanding of the whiskey matter in
this State. Local option is, however,
gaining ground every day in South
Carolina. There has been dissatisfac-
ton In some of the counties where,
1T is said, the sentiment Of the people
was not ripe for prohibition, although
majority voted against the county
dispensary system. In the coun-
ties that now retain the dis
pensary there is apparently no
no doubt that the majority of the
people wish the dispensary. In these
six counties there is strong opposition
to the dictatorial attitude of State
widers who would enact a law that
would give them that which they do
not want
"A popular opinion is that because
a governor advocates this or that it
means that such will be the legisla-
ton. But folks who have seen Gov
ernors overridden in South Carolina
know this to be an idle dream. AS
prominent man wrote recently:
Upstairs does not run the State gov
ernment now" So it doesn't really
matter what a candidate thinks about
most questions so long as he is gen.
orally qualified to be Governor Of the
State.
"A statement that would hardly be
questioned anywhere in South Caro-
lima is that Thomas G. Mcleod is par
ticularly well fitted to be the Cover
nor. Because Of his experience in
the House Of Representatives as a
member from Sumter county, his
term in the Senate as Senator from
Lee county when that county was
first formed and later his work for
four years as lieutenant governor, he
Is admirably equipped for the Cover
norship.
THE opinion has been editorially
expressed by the News and Courier
that only by the election Of Mr.. Nc
Leod will turmoil in the general as
sembly on the liquor question be
avoided
On the opening day Of the cam
paign Mr.. Featherstone remarked in
his speech at Sumter that there was
no friction between the Statewide
candidates. A few days ago in Union
and still more recently at other points
in the upstate Mr.. F. III. Hyatt. a
business man of Columbia who Is a
candidate for Governor, turned his
guns on Messrs. Featherstone and
richards. two prohibition candidates.
Especially did Mr.. Hyatt attack the
Rev. j. L. Harley. who, he said, was
going about the State with a Slate
name at the end Of the list Mr..
Hyatt stated that the Rev. Harley
had said to voters that he GHarley)
was Of the opinion that that was the
way the candidates stood, the other
candidates coming between Messrs
FeatherstOne and Hyatt Mr.. Hyatt IS
just now the most talked-of candidate
I'm Columbia and the upstate on ac-
count of his attack upon Feathrstone
and Richards. Mr.. Hyatt has gained
much i'm the race. When he entered
tho campaign ne was well known as
successful business man but had had
no political experience. Some Of the
other candidates for State Offices
have told Mr.. Hyatt that he has gain
ed more strength than any other man
