prices ranged from 55a in 1870 to
21H in 1871, 27a in 1872 and 21& in
1873. In 1865 cotton sold for $1.2O

price that year, the lowest being 30

Political Prospects to Date.

Says a writer on the political stu
alton and the chances of Democratic
success in the nation:
President TAFT does not seem to be
able to rid himself of the standpat-
ters. He no sooner makes an unsuc-
cessful effort to make scapegoats of
Cannon Aldrich and Ballinger than
he takes up with Crane, the most in
veterate conservative, as his princi-
pal political adviser. 1t is about
time that the President tumbled to
the fact that all these standpat
statesmen must stand by the admin
istration, or their goose is cooked.
There is no doubt that ma iority of
the Republican voters in the Western
States are with the Insurgents, and
if there were a free and fair vote in
the Eastern States the Old Guard
would be bowled over. 1t is mainly
the control OF the Republican organi-
zatiOn, with the power OF counting
the votes cast at the primaries, that
allows them to hold the whip
hand. To that must be added
the enormous power OF the dis
tribution of the Federal offices which
President Taft has allowed them to
dictate. From this view of Republi-
can politics it is impossible to give
President Taft credit for any leaning
towards the Insurgents, although he
still keeps on friendly terms with
some of them to escape the charge
that he has split the Republican
party.
Colonel Roosevelt had evidently
been waiting, with the unusual politi-
cal shrewdness, to see the result ofthe
primaries and conventions in the de-
batable States when be was forced to
show his hand as the result of the
turn down" by the Republican State
committee of his own State. He is
now openly with the Insurgents and
will fight for the control OF New York.
Will President Taft still take coun-
sci with Crane and the other re-
dictionaries, or will he veer towards
Roosevelt to prevent a factional fight
in the State of New York? which if
thus lost to the Republican party
LIlSlN lctu W Iudh6 Oh UOuStu vi L dl u
himself. The President is thus con-
confronted with a dilemma, and to
grasp either horn is dangerous.
The Democrats, of course, have
troubles Of their own; but they are
subsiding and the party is, per-
haps, nearer unity on essentials than
since the first Cleveland admins
tration. Under such conditions,
those who believe that Democratic
policies are necessary for the welfare
OF the people of all the States will
draw even closer together as they see
the chances of success SO favorab lie.
But over-cOnfdence would be folly
with such opponents as the Republi-
cans with their organization and
money, and their greed for power
which, at the last moment, will lead
them to stoop to conquer.

By refusing to pass a compulsory
school attendance law, South Caro-
lima leaves to the poor and the ig-
norant man the privilege of bringing
up his boy in ignorance-which
usually means that the boy will, as
a man, be poor, too. The man who
is well-to-do always sends his boy to
school, and a acompulsory attendance

Mr.. Cooley Falls Into Temptation.
Louisburg Times.

Lousburg Times.
All good men will sincerely regret
that Mr.. R. A. P. Cooley, OF Nash
vile, has in a moment of weakness
fallen into temptation. He has many
friends in this county and to q man
they mourn his fall. 1t is simply a
case Of a good man gone wrong. A
good friend of Mr.. Cooley man who
has always supported him, was ask
ed what he thought of Mr.. Cooley's
action in running for Congress
against the very Democrats whose
nomination he had called for by a
rising vote, said: 81 feel just like l
would if l had read that in fit of
dependency Mr.. Cooley had at
tempted to take his own life." We
think this is the way his friends all
feel. His real friends mourn over
him. His enemies rejoice that he has
placed himself in such an impossible
position. We are are profoundly con-
vinced that the Cooley we all know
did not write a line ofhis card. Anevil
spirit took possession ofhim. Let all
good men pray that like the young
man of old who wandered away and
found himself among swine, Mr..
Cooley may "come to himself and
return to the house of his fathers
