An Important Matter.

Barnwell, S. c., July %, 1910.
The Bamberg Herald, Bamberg,
South Carolina:
My Dear Sir-Ever since l have
been in congress, have been work
ing for the improvement. of the Eds
to river with a view Of having it
cleared of logs and snags, dredged
and deepened, for the purpose OF
making it navigable as high up as
practical BILE. I succeeded in having a
provision incorporated in the river
and barber act passed at the last
session of congress for the survey
of the river with view Of it's i'm
provement for the purposes of navi-
cation, and hope to get appropria-
ton at the next session of congress
for this purpose.
Capt. E. M. Adams, of the corps of
engineers, custom house, Charleston,
S. c., has been ordered to do this
work and I will be glad to have all
persons or corporations in your coun-
ty who are interested in this work to
communicate with Capt. Adams and
show their interest in the work.
This is a very important matter
to the people of your county who own
lands or live adjacent to the Edisto
river. To open this river to navigation
will mean the saving to the people
in freight rates on cotton and guano
and other products thousands of dol
lars and will go far towards drain
ing the swamp lands adjacent to the
river which will enhance the value
of the lands for agricultural purposes
and will add much to the health of
the community.
am anxious to have the support
and cooperation of every man in
your county, and will be glad to have
those interested to communicate with
Capt. Adams and with me on the
subject at once.
Very truly yours,
J. o. PATTERSON.

John T. Duncan will no doubt
agree with DR.. Daniel as to the wick
edness of Columbia.

In another column we publish a
communication from Hon. ]. 0.
Patterson on an important matter.
A few weeks ago we published a let
ter from him to Mr.. J. F. Carter,
president of the Bamberg Business
Mems League, but it appears that our
people have not awakened to this i'm
portant matter of having the channel
of the Edisto deepened so that their
lands adjacent may be drained. 1t is
necessary that our citizens generally
show some interest in this matter,
and we trust they will at once get in
communication with Congressman
Patterson and Capt. Adams of the
corps of engineers.

Money Piled a Foot Deep.

Silver coins and bills foot and
half deep were thrown into a tri-
colored barrel placed before the pull
pit at Zion City Tabernacle yesterday
by the followers of Wilbur Glenn
Voliva, general overseer of the Chris
tian Catholic Apostolic church of
Zion City, and successor to John AL
exander Dowie, who marched over
the north shore city and took formal
possession of the buildings which
last week again came into their con-
troll through the action Of the federal
court in dissolving the receiver
ship.
It was like revival of the old days
of Dowie. The call for the free-will
offering preceded the march about the
city, and thousands of men, women
and children filed past the barrel that
stood before the pulpit and cast there
in their offering, ranging from i've
cent pieces to twenty dollar bills.
The Zion band took it's place at the
head of the column that formed out
side of the Tabernacle to march
through the town. After the band
came Overseer Voliva and the elders
of the church; and behind these came
the hundreds who composed the
"white-robed choir
These in turn were followed by the
Junior seventies" the "intermediate
seventies" and the senior seven
ties" Those who were too old to
stand the three-mile walk were allow
ed to ride in omnibuses.-Ch

Tariff on Cotton Raised by Aldrich

Topeka. Kan, July 26.-In an ad-
dress here last night, United States
Senator Joseph L. Bristow declared
that United States Senator Aldrich
forced an increase in the cotton tar
iff schedules when the cotton manu-
facturers in this country were not
asking for it. Senator Bristow charged
that the increases were made for the
purpose of booming the stock mar
ket.
''It is interesting to know" he de-
clared, "why Mr.. Aldrich insisted
upon increased cotton duties when
the mill owners and manufacturers
testified in the hearings before the
ways and means committee that they
were not needed. But, an examina-
ton of the stock issues of the United
States for the year 1909 furnishes
the reason.
''These increases were not made for
the protection of any legitimate
manufacturing enterprises in the
United States, but to boom the stock
market. Last year there were is
sued s90,O00,OO0 additional cotton
and wooden stocks, S64,000,00O more
had been previously authorized, but
not issued, and $26,000,000 of new
stocks.
"How much of this stock repre-
sented actual investment, am not
advised but under the impression
that these increased duties on cotton
goods and the maintenance of the
excessive duty on woolens would give
at least temporary impetus to the
business, those stocks found mar
ket. So, these increases, therefore,
driven through by Mr.. Aldrich, were
in the interests of the stock gam
blers and spectators, and not in the
interests of legitimate manufactur-
ing enterprises.
"The duty on cotton goods val
ued at more than seven cents per
square yard was increased on an av-
erage of 20 to 25 per cent. in the
face of the testimony of H. P. Lip
pitt, representative of the Manufac-
turers' Association of New England,
before the ways and means commit
tee, that the cotton manufacturers
did not want an increased schedule.
All they asked was that the duties be
not reduced, but remain the same. y

Dallas, Tex, July 24.-Oscar B
Colquitt, anti-prohibitionist was yes
terday nominated for governor by q
plurality which will probably reach
10000. Cone Johnson and William
Poindexter, the prohibitionist candi'
dates, are practically tied, only about
thousand votes difference between
them. This is now in favor of Poin-
dexter, but may change as some
heavy Johnson counties are yet tc
come.
Former Attorney General David.
son is about 10000 votes behind
Poindexter and Johnson.
The proposition to submit to popu'
lar vote prohibition amendment tc
the constitution has carried by prob
ably 10000. This presents the situa'
ton of an anti-prohibition Democrat
being nominated with party de-
manding the submission of pro-
hibition amendment confronting him
This was caused by the prohibitionist
split on candidates.
The total prohibitionist vote is
in excess of Colquitt7s vote. 1t is
impossible to give we'll grounded
estimate of the results as to the leg
islature. Reports are scattering be-
cause of the great interest of the
gubernatorial contest.
For congress in the third district
James Young, of Kaufman county
was nominated. In this district va
cancy was carried by the appoint
ment of Congressman Russell to the
federal bench by President Taft. R
NJ. Livery was elected to fill the un
expired term and James Young fol
the full term.
In the fourth district, G. B. Ran
dell, the present incumbent, was re-
nominated by a large majority. Con
gressman Jack Beall, in the fifth dis
trict, also received heavy majori
ty over his opponent.
In the seventh district returns in
dicate that Congressman A. W
Gregg was successful.
In the twelfth the returns are in
complete, but Oscar Galway has
slight lead over the incumbent, Os
car Gillespie. In the thirteenth dis
trict Congressman John H. Stephen:

ing majority.

chair. He had dozed off, holding his
lighted cigar in his left hand, which
was folded over his right. His left
hand relaxed, and the end of the ci-
