NEED OF RAIN
is FELT ALL OVER THE SOUTH
ERN COTTON BELT.
aiiey Jr Is Aug 10 -
State House
Price or GIv-,v-rae Hangs on the
Words Of the Weather Man for
This Week.

A dispatch from New Orleans says
this week In the cotton market near
ly everything but the weather will
be lost sight of. 1t is generally ac-
knowledged that the crop is fast get
ting into a critical condition as the
result OF protracte6 drought and high
temperatures. At the end of last
week there was no relief in sight on
the weather map, and If the week
opens with dry and hot map the
chances are that q, sensational rise
in prices will take place and that
new high levels for the season will
be established OH the new crop
months.
It is seldom. that at this time of
the year the cotton belt has suffered
such uniformly bad weather. Ac-
eording to both private and official
reports eve8y state N the cotton belt
needs good rains.
The high temperatures would not
be q drawback in most localities If
sufficient moisture were falling to
keep the plant growing. Warm
nights right now are an advantage
that the crop seldom has. Without
rain however, the high temperatures
are adding to the injury being work
ed.
At the end of last week the worst
complaints were coming from the
Carolinas. parts OF Oklahoma, Texas,
Mississippi and Louisiana. All other
states, however, needed rain but not
as badly as the ones mentioned. 1t
was claimed that in parts of Missis-
s;npi cotton was tail;.c . eeTm'nate
because of the excessive dryness of
the soil. Should these conditions be
relieved this weel. the trade will
again take another look at tFe 5u'
reau reports OF last week. -...
The improvement in crop condi-
tons that rain would bring will be
cop,nsred with the condlti,'n figures
Of ST.S on May Is and calculations
made on the basis of the 35 100000
acres reported planted this year to
arrive at the first real crop pointers
Of the season. Should the drought
continue the trade world ta'c nof5
ice much to base ca!cuiat:o:.s o"
because it would have no way that
that both bulls and bears would ac-
cent of determining the number of
points in condition that the crop has
fallen off.
It Will be a weather market more
than anything else from now on, al
though the summer months may
again spring into prominence. The
departure of W. P. Brown of New
York, has again revived stories of an
organized bull campaign in July
and August, and with Mr: Brown
again in the New York ring, it may
be that definite operations of the bull
crowd may come 70 light.

Second Lorimer Probe Will Penetrate
Deeper Than the First.
NO DOUBT OF bis GUILT
Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections Have Stormy Meeting
kenyon Demands that Inquiry
Be Made Into the Activity Of the
Beef and Lumber Trusts.

The Washington Correspondent
says the days of William Lorimer as
Senator of the United States are
numbered. The second probe order
ed by the senate will penetrate
deeper than the first and seek to as
certain his personal knowledge and
corruption practised In his election.
Moreover, the demand was verified
this morning at the motion of the
Senate committee on privileges and
elections, that the senate committee
should try to learn: First, did the
beef trust and the lumber trust seek
to buy a seat in the Senate for one
of the henchmen? Second, have not
several individuals subjected them
selves to criminal prosecution for
acts of bribery and corruption prac-
ticed in connection with the election
of a United States senator? s
The meeting of the Senate COM
mittee was anything but peaceable.
The issue came up upon the selection
of a subcommittee Of eight to con-
duct the Investigation in accordance
with the "gentlemen's agreement
preyiosuly entered into.
Senator Kenyon demanded that
the investigating committee should
inquire into the activity of the beef
trust and the lumber trust in &C.
curing the election Of Lorimer tc
the Senate. Until recently Mr.. Ken
yon was the chief trust buster of the
administration and conducted the
prosecution of the beef trusts.
Other members of the committee
strongly opposed this and argued
that the inquiry should be limited 10
Lorimer and his right to retain his
seat believing the Senate commit
tee should not deliberately seek evl-
dencc to incriminate others in the
acts af fraud and corruption.
Senator Kenyon insisted that the
subcommittee make thorough and
sweeping Investigation of the whole
case and expressed the opinion that
evidence will be found to sustain
criminal indictments. With this II
view ne and those who support his
view seek to have a subcommittee
or nine, of which Mr.. Kenyon vii! be
member. The "gentlemen's agree
rlent" provided for subcommittee
of eight, to- consist Of Senator's Dill
lingham, Gamble, Suther land, Clapp.
Kenyon, Republicans; and Johnston,
Fletcher, Kern and Lea, Democrats.
Senator Kern, Democrat, ogered to
give up his place on the investigating
committee to Kenyon, Republican, If
only eight were to- be named. IT
was impossible to reach an agree-
ment and the matter went over until
Monday afternoon, when another
meeting will be held.
The telegram received today by
Senator Dillingham; from Lorimer Is
taken to mean that the rumors that
Lorimer would resign rather than
subject himself and his friends to an
other gruelling investigation are en-
tirely groundless.

TALKS TO EDITORS
WOODROW WILSON SHOWS THE
DANGER OF THE SYSTEMS.
New Jerseys Governor Calls on the
Editors and Lawyers to Prevent
Combinations.

Governor Woodrow Wilson spoke
in the Opera House in Columbia on
Friday evening before the State Press
Association. The Opera House was
packed with large and fashionable
audience. The eloquent speaker
pointed out the dangers of the con-
centration in a few hands of the
nations wealth.
He warned the editors that their
duty was not only to comm ent upon
the workings of the System with
capital S." but also to reveal to the
people what these activities were and
what they 'signifed. The lawyers. of
the country, he said, are the men
who must solve the difficulties; "and
I believe they will have sense enough
to do so."
Governor Wilson said that the
country is menaced by a wave of So
cialism unless some steps are taken
to unlock the double-bolted doors Of
opportunity. Speaking of the dan
ger3 of combinations of capital, Gov
ernor Wilson said: e..
what Is 1t that ws are afraid Of?
In the first place we thought some
years ago that what we were princi-
pally afraid Of was the deliberate
violation of restraint of trade and
restraint of everything that was In
consistent with everything against
the men who made the combinations
and so we passed the antitrust act,
and we have been trying ever since
to interpret the meaning of the anti
trust law, and the trusts are just
as much in power now as they were
when the supreme court of the Unit
ed State began to interpret that sta
tute.
"You dissolved the Standard Oil
company, but its power is not dis
solved. You dissolved the American
Tobacco, but somehow its grip con-
tinues to be felt in it's constituent
parts in our several communities.
Are we SO young, are you so in
nocent as to suppose that that is the
only way in which it Is done? That
is the CONSPICUOUS way, but men are
getting too wise to do it in that way
and you must get very much into
particulars. .......-.... .....-
81 would that every newspaper in
the country would publish the cir
cumstances of it's own locality as
1t knows it in order that we may
seq what exactly it Is that we have
tc fear, and here Is great deal to
be feared-not fear as those who
fear when they think Of themselves
defenseless, but as those fear who
fear only ignorance and who are sure
when they know they can take care
of themselves. .. .. ...
"For I am not afraid that the
American people will not know of
remedies for the evils so soon as 1t
distinguishes what those evils are.
am, therefore, eager that the Amer
ican people should be minutely in
formed surely that is the duty Of
the press-and gentlemen Of the
press, there are opportunities in your
own community"

Board Had Ordered Fund
Of $25, 600 Divided Among Banks
at Homes of its Members.
of $4,000 Divi

State Treasurer Jennings will re-
fuse to countersign checks transferr-
ing the dispensary fund amounting
to ,$25, 900 to four banks in the state
because the banks have not been ap-
proved by the state financial board
as repositories for state funds. This
$4,000 in question is now on de-
posit in the National Loan and EX-
change Bank of Columbia, where it
was placed as working capital by
the old commission.
Several days ago the new. commits
sion. passed a resolution authorizing
the $4,000 to be placed in the fol-
lowing banks: Enterprise Bank of
Charleston, $4,000; Bank of Null
lins, $4,000; Bank Of Bishopville, s5-

er and the action Of Mr.. Jennings
will be upheld. The state treasurer
will countersign checks for the mon
ey to be placed in banks that have
been approved by the financial board.
It. might be mentioned that the banks
in question are located in the homs
towns Of the members of the new
commission. r-r.-.. ..'r..-r-
State Treasurer Jennings Is acting
under Section IL Of the acts OF lsoS.
This act requires that he counter
sign all checks payable according TO
law. He takes the position that the

four Of the banks would not be &C.
cording to- law, and therefore Will
refuse to give his signature.
The following is the resolution OF
the commission:
Whereas, the moneys on deposit to
the credit of the state dispensary
commission are deposited in the Ma
tional Loan and Exchange Bank, or
Columbia, without interest; and
Whereas, it has come to the know
ledge of the commission that the
same can be deposited in other banks
at a rate of interest not less than 4
per cent per annun, subject to call;
and
Whereas, this commission is Of
the opinion, the said funds should be
deposited upon interest. Therefore,
be It: =

law in the Enterprise Bank of Char
lesion; $4,000 in the Bank of Null
