MOB LEADERS
NOT To BE
PUNISHED
(By United Press Leased Wire. }

CAIRO, ILL.,, Feb. 22.-It was
reported here today that no at
tempt will be made to indict the
leaders of the mob that stormed
the Cairo Jail where a negro purse
snatcher was imprisoned and pre-
cipitated a riot in which Alexan-
der Halliday, son of former
mayor of this city, was killed.
Another Outbreak Feared.
1t was limited that, although
Sheriff Nellis is in possession of
the names of the leaders, he would
risk his life If he were to make
them known. Feeling here is in
tense today, and 1t is feared an
other outbreak will occur.
Race Feeling Strong.
Rumors that night riders from
Kentucky and Missouri are
planning to come to Cairo and
lynch the next negro arrested in
the city were current today. The
authorities are investigating a re-
port that an anti-black society,
formed primarily for the protec-
tion of those who participated in
the riots, is being organized.

All sorts of reasons are being
ventured for the increased cost oil

creased only IS per cent. The
high tariff may be one good an

but any fool can see that trust
methods have played the big hand
used as its principal instrument,
the beneficent cold storage inven-
ton, by means of which it can
corner perishable product.
When public scrutiny was first
directed upon the storage houses
the owners were quick to argue,
with FEASIBILITY, the economic
value of the storage plant; that il
conserves the food supply during
the time of plenty for time OF
scarcity; and while the system
may result in holding up prices in
time of plenty, it balances by fur
nishing supply in the time when
there is no natural supply.
But the Beef Ring cannot plead
any such excuse. With the ring
1t is not conservation, but high
prices.
Last year Armour & Co. raked
in 30 per cent profit. The COM
pany has $2O,OOO,OOO capital.
One big Chicago packer, an
Iswering an attack, pleaded that
cold storage levels prices, con-
serves the perishing products for
time of need. If this is true, why,

country a month ago protested
against high prices-caused the
trust claimed, by scarcity of food

GOOD ROADS
MOVE !. /. =.
BOOSTED !.

Good roads was the subject dis
cussed at the Chamber OF Cont
merce smoker last night and the
sentiment of the citizens was that
the city should get into the move
ment and push for development
along this line. Delegates will
probably be named to good
roads convention at Aberdeen.
Tacoma will make big effort
to line up the slater DAD building
plans to put a road from this
city to the sea.
Secretary Brown OF the Cool
Roads association styled Tacoma
the "Hub" and his idea was that
good roads should diverge from
this city in all directions.
Secretary Sommers, Commits
sioner McGregor and several other
speakers discussed the good roads
movement, Commissioner Peter
son coming out for bond issue
of half million dollars for q
road to Seattle.

WHY did not the Beef Ring
then and there throw open ware

and bring prices down to decent
levels? Instead of that, they
held their doors tighter, let the
people howl, and pay extortionate
prices for the limited supply doled
out. EEs

CAUSE OF ECZEMA
EXPLAINED

After years of debate medical
authorities are now agreed that
Eczema and other skin diseases
are not seated in the blood, but
are caused by myriads of micro
scopic animals gnawing the flesh
just below the epidermis, The
patient is perfectly healthy, it is
only the skin that is diseased.
Hence, scientists are now agreed
that you must cure the skin
through the skin. The medicine
must be in liquid form in order to
penetrate properly. And we can
say with confidence that we have
the true remedy for Eczema In
our store.
The instant you wash with this
soothing liquid you will find the
itch relieved. We positively as

COUNTY POLITICAL NOTES..

There is very little that is new in
the field of local politics.
Quite a number of voters are eX-
pressing dissatisfaction with the fact
that they have not yet been offered a
wider range of choice as to the legisla-
tive ticket.
Mr. Robert l.. Goff, the most recently
announced candidate for county treas
urer, was i'm Yorkvillc yesterday meet
ing the people.
Messrs. ]. w. Quinn and Minor Big
gers are making an industrious cam
vass for school commissioners Both
are clever, good -natured gentlemen,
and their campaign is being pursued
along that line.
There has been no talk about Oppos-
ing Judge Williams, and the indlca-
tions are that this popular and efficient
officer will be allowed to go it alone,
situation to which il is thought that
he will offer no objection.
The four-Cornered race for auditor
is attracting more or less interest and
there are all kinds of opinions as to the
probable outcome.
Interest i'm the race for supervisor,
seems to be growing stronger steadily.

REV. DR.. y. \. Burton of Batesburg,
has written the Columbia State, re-
questing that paper to reproduce in It's
columns the editorial that appeared IN
The Enquirer recently, explaining why
the State is fighting Featherstone. II
the good doctor had known more of pol
itics than he does, he would not have
made such a request. The State re-
produced the paragraph from The En-
uuirer, i'm which attention was called
TO the editorial referred to; but not the
editorial. 1t is not particular about
giving too much currency To such
views as The Enquirer expressed.
However, the editorial has been repro
duced i'm the Anderson Daily Mail, the
Columbia Record, the Greenwood In
dey. and several other papers, which
recognized it as a pretty correct en-
position of existing conditi1Ts. 1t
is true that The Enquirer did not re-
produce all that stuff the State has
been printing about Mr.. Fcatherstone;
but it admitted that the same was
technically correct; and if the state
will make the same admission about
what The Enquirer has said i'm reply,
the admission will be accepted as le-
ing all that could reasonably he eN-
pected.

American cotton crop of last year.
According to BradStreetS reports the
total building expenditures for 1909
in lO5 cities of the United States
amounted to 1857. 7.530.669, or only
about $45.5OO.0OO more than the value
of the cotton crop of this country
The value of the cotton crops OF the
five-year period ending with 1909 is
S3.54S,23O.OOO. while the value for
the fiye-year period ending with
1899 is $1,529,500.0O0. The cotton
growers were in a distressed condi-
ton financially when the crop OF
1898 was sold at an average price ol
4.6 cents a pound. Their indepen.
dence really began with the price Oh
ll2.2 cents q pound in 1903. During
the last five years the price OF mt
cotton has averaged about IL cents

value of the cotton seed has increased
from $3.50 a ton in 1906 to S2tIO a

value of seed. was $S4.3l this season,

WE do not consider Mr.. b. b. Evans
a competitor for the office of attorney
general. and we would not like To see
him elected under any circumstances
for we feel that if he had the oppor-
tunity he would not hesitate to do all
that he is accusing Mr.. Lyon of doing
and a good deal more. But still, we
are not going to claim that the can
didacy Of Mr.. Evans is without value
to the state. 1t appears that while
none of the very sensational charges
he has been making are literally true
several Of them have more or less
foundation i'm fact. For instance. he
charged that Fielder, the Atlanta law
yer, has received something like $780,
600 in fees from the state. 1t has de-
veloped that Fielder has received very
little in fees: but that nevertheless he
has a contract that will give him at
least 80 per cent of the So-called con-
science money that the liquor houses
are being made to plank over, ana
that will amount to 100000 or over
There are people who think that If no
better trade could he made with South
Carolina lawyers, capable of doing all
that Mr.. Fielder has done, South Caro-
lima is short on able lawyers. Mr
Evans charged that Messrs. w. +. Ste
venson and Il. l.. Abney received over
900 each in fees from the state on
account of liquor litigation. Mr.. Ste
venson has come out in card in which
he admits that he and Mr.. Abney have
each received over $4,000; hut urge
uuur houses instead of from the state
a proposition that looks To the average
layman like the difference between
tweedledum and tweedledee, and To eN-
crybody as pretty liberal pay for abil-
tiles that are presumably not up to Mr.
Felder's standard. At Florence last
Saturday, Mr.. Lyon stated that any
charges that Evans made To the effect
that he received fees i'm addition to the
salary of his office were malicious
lie" Now, while we have no reason
to believe there is the slightest foun-
dation for the alleged charges. we do
not approve of any such language on
the stump. We voiced our disapprnval
when Senator Tilman used it with
reference to Mr. Lyon four years ago,
and we disapprovc of the use of it by
Mr.. LYON toward Mr.. Evans. Such
language is undisniiicd and unneccs-
sary in that it does not prov" anything
or convince anybody. 1t only invites
violence and puts Mr.. Lyon in th" posi-
ton of himself justifying the SCathing
dcnunciatiun that Senator Tillman
poured out against him. From our
point Of view. as we have urged all
along. we are content To- see all the
dispcnsary graft buried in the sea if
only stripes were put ON the graftcrs;
but i'm what has been don" up to this
time there would he something really
amusing if it were not of such serious
consequence. All efforts seem to have
