We notice that Maj. John W..
Holmes, of the Barnwell People, is
another newspaper editor who does
not ride on a railroad pass, but pays
his fare just like any other passen-
ger. Unfortunately there are too few
editors in the State who do this, but
we believe the newspaper men are
beginning to realize that the rail-
roads are getting the big end of the
present arrangement, and that soon
the time will come when the news
papers will do business with the rail-
roads on a business basis-that is,
so much space for stated number
of miles of railroad travel. We want
to do away with the pass arrange
ment and have the railroads issue
mileage books. That is the only busi-
ness way.

Firemen Won't Strike.

Washington, June 10.-The dis
pute between the Southern Railway
Company and it's firemen, which has
been in mediation for the past two
weeks, has been settled on a basis
satisfactory to both sides.
Each side, it is said, made conces-
sions, but what they were none OF
those interested would say.
In making various concessions
each side it is said in a statement is
sued by the mediators was Influenced
by a desire to maintain friendly re-
lations with the other. The con-
sideration of public interests played
an important part in effecting set
tlement.
Because of some of the delicate
questions involved it was said no fur
ther statement would be given out.
The negro question, it is under
stood, figured largely in the contro-
versy. Fear thaS any statement in
regard to this question now might
be misunderstood, is believed to have
Led to the determination to say moth
ing. >..H.-.. ->.....
The controversy has been a long
one. When it seemed the firemen
were on the verge of strike they
consented to mediation Even for
some time after the mediators took
up the case about two weeks ago the
stubbornness with which the firemen
stood by their demands made the
case look hopeless. TO the last min
ute the firemen declared they would
consider nothing but 20 per cent.
increase in their wages.

Will Appoint NJ. L. McCrae.

Washington, June 8.-Profs. Fen
der and Crouch, who, at the request
of Congressman Byrnes, held a COM
petitive examination at Blackville
last Saturday for a scholarship at
Annapolis, have reported that of the
eligible applicants M. l.. McCrae, of
Bamberg county, received the high
est average and will therefore be
nominated as principal. John Ash
hurst and J. c. Browne, Jr., of Aiken
county, and S. B. Mays, Jr., of Edge
field, came next in order named and
will be named as alternates. The
regulation require applicants to be
between 16' and 20 years of age. The
examiners state in their report that,
at the request of s. G. Mayfeld, Jr.,
who is barely Is years of age, and
therefore could not enter the con-
test, they let him participate, and
had he been eligible he would have
won the contest.

Cotton Acreage Increased.

New Orleans, June 1.-THE
Times-Democrat in the first of it's re-
port of the cotton crop of 1911 to-
morrow will say:
There has been a considerable in
crease of acreage, probably about 5
per cent, after allowing for acreage
abandoned because of boil weevil and
for other areas over which the seed
failed to germinate for want of mois-
ture.
The supply of labor is sufficient and
the cultivation has been exceedingly
thorough.
Texas correspondents state that
rains must come in the next few days,
else serious deterioration will take
place and certain sections of the At
lantic States are also in need OF
moisture.
The boil weevil is active In parts
of Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkan-
sas; not much is heard Of the pest
elsewhere.
Taking the belt as a whole the con-
dition of the crop was unusually high
at the date of this report, June 5,
but the outlook is subjected to sud-
den change.

FIRST TEXAS BALE.
Special Train Chartered to Garry it
to Houston.

Houston, Tex, June 1.-THE
Houston cotton exchange will be
opened to all business men tomorrow
REGARDLESS of whether or not they are
members of the exchange when the
first bale of cotton produced this year
will be auctioned at 10 o'clock.
The bale was grown at San Benito,
Cameron county, by Ernest Matz, on
100 acre farm leased by Alfonso
Hicks. It was rushed into San Benito
Saturday by automobile, ginned and
rushed to this city on special train.
In order to get the bale to Houston
before all other bales, reported to
have been ready to ship on the regu-
lar train, comprising a private car
and a passenger coach was chartered
at a. price of s52S.75, or at the rate
of $3.50 a mile.
It is predicted that this price will
be covered by that paid tomorrow
by the highest bidder, making the
price greater than ever paid in his
tory for the first bale. The weight
of the bale is 400 pounds, in spite
of the fact that one large quincy sack
of seed cotton was lost in the rush.
The "first bale" reported ginned at
Riviera, has not arrived here yet.

Two First Bales of Cotton.

Houston, Texas, June 10.-Two
t'irst bales of cotton are racing to-
wards Houston, Texas, tonight to
claim first honors in this cotton mar
ket.
The Houston cotton exchange was
advised yesterday that one bale
started from Rivera, booked for de-
livery at the lotal exchange, and fol-
lowing this came the announcement
that San Benito had started special
train with Houston as it's destination
and bearing the first bale produced
in that section. Both bales are fully
II days earlier than the first bale
last season.
The two trains should reach here
early tomorrow morning. The speci-
al bringing the San Benito bale cost
$52S.75.

In Defense of Her Honor.

Creede, COL, June 12.-In defense
of her honor, as she alleges, Mrs.
Michael Lefevre, wife of a prominent
man of this district, shot and killed
John Zang, proprietor of the Zang
Hotel here at the Lefevre home in
South Creede, about o'clock yester-
day afternoon. zang was fifty-five
years old, and his slayer is twenty
years his junior.
Mrs. Lefevre is held in the county
jsil here charged with murder. Ac-
cording to the woman's story, Zang
called at her home about 2:30 o'clock
in the afternoon. He asked for the
woman's husband, and on learning
that he was not at home, seized Mrs.
Lefevre. She took her husbands re-
yolver and shot Zang in the face.

Let's have the truth of that story
as to the Winthrop college girls re-
fusing to receive their diplomas from
the hands of the governor. Some
papers have said the story was a
fake, but we have not as yet seen
any official denial of it. If an in
Justice was done the governor, we
feel sure every newspaper will want
to correct it, no matter whether
friendly to him or not. Blease's
newspaper supporters continually
froth at the mouth about news items
not doing the governor justice, yet
so far we have not seen single news
story concerning his actions proved
untrue. 1t should not be charged
against the newspapers when they
publish unpleasant facts as to his
excellency. The newspapers don't
make the news-they only publish
the facts. If they publish anything
untrue, show them up, but until they
do, keep quiet about not doing the
governor justice.

The State board of education is to
meet next Saturday to adopt text
books for the schools for the next
ave years, and agents of the various
publishing houses have recently been
working on the members of the
board to get their books adopted. It
lis evident that the governor intends
to try to control the adoption of
books, as he had something to say
about removing the board. This
week he stated that there would be
no changes in the board before Sat-
urday, and it is evident he is holding
over the members the threat OF re-
moval in order to try to bully them
into adopting such books as he IA
vors.

MANGLED BODY ACROSS TRACK.
Gruesome Find by Engineer Near
Kings Mountain.

Greenville, June 11.-Engineer Joe
Austell, arriving in Greenville this
morning at the throttle of Southern
railway train No. 80, reported the
finding of the mangled body of a
white man across the track about
three miles this side of Kings Noun
tain in Cherokee county.
The body appeared to be that OF a
man about 80 years of age, was well
dressed and bore every mark of re-
finement. The absence of cards or
letters in the dead mans pockets
rendered Identification impossible.
From all appearances the man met his
death several hours previous to the
passing of No. 80, which was about
$3.50 o'clock.

Much to the qualification OF his

the regenration of the negro In the
South were discussed along with q

Governor Blease ousted the former
asylum commission which was charg-
ed with the duty of erecting new
.buildings for that institution, and ap-
Dointed his personal friends. Now
shis own commission has engaged the
services of a New York architect, IN
!ar,ite Of the fact that there are many
lcompetent architects in this State.
The governor had good deal to say
recently about the Winthrop trustees
employing an architect from North
,Earolina, yet we notice he is as dumb
as; an oyster about the action OF his
personal asylum commission.
