their places and were either visiting
with each other or standing rows
deep about the speakers table.
Representative A: Mitchell Palmer,
of Pennsylvania, was the third speak
er to mount the table.
By this time ne began his speech
the crowd in the armory had dwindled
to about 200 and there Was at least
a semblance Of quiet.
"Must'nt Rock the Boat" ;
"Whither the start given in Novem-
ber," said Mr.. Palmer, amid cheers,
"the Democratic party will sail on to
continued success unless some dawn
fool rocks the boat"
Former Representative Theodore NJ.
Bell paid soriking tribute to Champ
Clark and declared that if the party
stands behind him as speaker of the
house of representatives Democratic
success in 1912 will be assured.
"The people. of the Middle West and
the Far West have the greatest conf
dence in the integrity and the ability of
Champ Clark as a leader of the Demo-
cracy," said Mr.. Bell.
Must Consider Bryan,
The reference to Mr.. Clark was re-
garded as unusually significant mas
much as Mr.. Bell has generally been
known as the close friend and repre-
sentative of William J. Bryan. It was
emphasized & few minutes later, when
Mr.. Bell warned his hearers that no
matter how much they might be at
tracted toward the gentlemen from
Ohio and New Jersey, the leadership
in 1912, they must not forget that the
affections OF millions of the people
still clustered about the man from Ne
braska-Mr. Bryan.
The hand of fate, Mr.. Bell said, had
probably determined that Mr.. Bryan
should not be nominated for fourth
time or ever be elected president OF
the United States, but that he must not
be overlooked in the councils OF the
party.
The Tariff Spectre.
The gaurt spectre of the tariff, with
all the vicissitudes it brings from
without and within a political party,
stalked boldly through the Jackson
day gathering of the Democrats in this
city today. It made its presence telt
at the mass meeting at the Lyric in the
afternoon and it would not down at the
bountiful feast which was spread at
the Fifth regiment armory tonight.
But the issue was fairly met by all
the speakers. Some frankly acknowl-
edged that there will be differences OF
opinion among the Democrats on this
subject, as tnere nau Deen dAOl!S 'iio

COTTON BULLS ACTIVE.
DETERMINED on EFFORT FOR
HIGHER COTTON PRICES.
Market this Week will no Longer be
Onc-sidcd Affair-Reports Of Spread
Of Boil Weevil Relied on for AS
sistancc by Element Seeking to Adj
vance Market.

New Orleans, July 16.-This week
in the cotton market promises to be
interesting chiefly because the ring
promises to lose its One-sided aspect.
Opinion is again we'll divided. even
among professionals, and there is a
strong element seeking to put prices
up, just as there is an extensive inter-
est looking for a lower market.
There is no secret about the fact
that the bulls will rely on the boil
weevil talk to help them put the mar
ker up.
In the central belt, that is, i'm.
Louisiana, Mississippi. Arkansas and
parts Of Alabama, the depredations of
the boil wevil are being constantly
extended, and it looks as if some very
bad reports We're due to come in
from important sections Of this por-
ton of the belt this week.
1t is reported that the weevil has
infested twenty-five counties i'm Ar
kansas that did not suffer from the
pest last year.
1t is now generally admitted that
the entire belt has received enough
rain for the time being and more
rain this week. except in Georgia, the
Carolinas and Oklahoma, will be re-
garded as a bullish instead Of g.
bearish feature. The week promises
TO open with a wet weather map. If
the forecast Of the week end is worth
anything. and this ought to help the
market.
Trade buying will be eagerly watch
ed for this week. The long side has
claimed that much buying Of hedges
by spinners and spot houses would be
done around 1915 for October, but
purchases from this source have been
disappointing in volume.
Any sudden rise probably will bring
this class Of buyers in until their
wants are satisfied. If such buying is
seen, it ought to be a factor Of no
small Importance.
The movement OF the new crop I'm
Texas promises TO increase, and if it
grows much larger it ought to help
the bears. The prediction was freely
made on the week end that daily re-
r MT, nf
would average 100 bales. Such re-
cepits would chiefly affect July and

tHat the Gamers ferry corporation
Will be equally as successful.
Mr.. Bates has engaged as super
visor Of the construction work a prac-
tical man who has had plenty Of ex-
perience- John Williams, formerly a
road constructor for Richland county.
The Columbia good roads enthusiasts
who are interested declare that this
will within six months be one of the
most popular interurban highways in
the State.
1t is at present 6S miles to Sumter,
via Camden.
1t lis 39 miles. on an air line, via
Gamers ferry.
1t is "a miles to Camden, via the
TwO-Notch road.
There is at present no way for a
river into Sumter county except by
rail.
Gamers ferry is near the mouth of
Colonels creek, which shows on most
Of the railroad maps. An air line via
Garners ferry would pass along
through the town of Claremont on
the Camden branch Of the Southern
railway. Garners ferry is within
five miles Of the State farm and would
make communication Herewith much
easier.
The connecting link will mean
much more for automobilists; it will
stimulate trade in a number Of ways.

robbing the State and declared III
you make purchases from these
houses, knowing the facts, 1 feel that
it is my duty to remove you from Of

along this line and hope that it will
be satisfactory to the public. If you
think it will not be satisfactory your
resignation will save your removal"

PREPARE FOR "COOL WAVE
Rather Unreasonable Weather this
Week, Bureau Predicts.

Washington, July 16.-Following
the hot wave that recently brought
death and suffering to the whole
country. this weeks weather promises
to furnish surprises in the other di-
rection. with the result that unusual
ly low summer temperatures proba-
bly, will prevail. The weather bureau
sees an abnormally high barometric
pressure over the interior Of Canada
and Alaska and low pressure on the
Atlantic Ocean, the conditions that
will usher in the cool wava.
This pressure distribution is in
dicaHve of temperatures below the
seasonable average the coming
week." says the weather bureau re-
port, 'in practically all parts Of the
country from the Rocky Mountains
to the Atlantic coast.
THE week will open with general
~ fair weather east of the Rocky
Mountains; showers are probable
Monday in the middle Atlantic and
New England States. and during the
next several days in the South At
lantic and Gulf States. An area of
showers will develop over the mid
die West about Thursday, and thence
spread eastward to the Atlantic
States by the latter part Of the week"
