SENATORS SAY HOLD.
Cotton Farmers Advised Not to Sell
For Less Than 13 Cents.

washington, August 23-"Hold cot
ton for 13 cents" is the advice to be
formally given to farmers organiza-
tions by a committee consisting OF
Senators Williams Of Mississippi,
owen Of Oklahoma, and Burleson OF
Texas, representing a conference OF
senators, and representatives from
seven cotton growing states A com
mittee will urge the state banking as
sociations to cooperate against the
bearish movement of the SPECTATORS
What was referred to generally as
the threatening condition Of the cot
ton market" was thoroughly discussed
at meetings today and last night.
Among the participants were Senators
williams and owen, Representative
Underwood of Alabama, Democratic
leader Of the house; Representatives
Hefiin of Alabama; Brantley ana
Hughes Of Georgia; Burleson ana
Beall of Texas; Garrett Of Tennessee;
Humphreys of Mississippi, and Smali
of North Carolina. A number OF them
are large cotton planters. The com.
mittee issued a statement, whlch reads;
1T seemed to be the opinion OF al
that there was a preconcerted eHort
being made, principally through the
of the speculative ele-
ment of the New York eNchange' 10
break down the price of cotton. 1t was
the opinion of all that the present sta
tistical condition Of cotton did not JUS
tify the lowest of present quotations
and the estimate of 100000 bales was
mot justified by facts upon which
prediction could be sanely based, and
that moreover, even II a 15,OOO,OOO-
hale crop were in sight the worlds
still probably would fall short
of the worlds demand for cotton to the
extent of more than one million bales
because of the exhaustion Of the pres
ent visible supply Of carried-over spot
cotton. In other words, that with
Ii, 900, ,0O0-bale American crop, the
worlds crop for 1911 would sum up
only 25,O0O,O00 bales with l40,000,O0O OF
spindles creating an active demand for
q, 100000 bales. This opinion was
based upon the latest advices from
Egypt, India, China and other cotton
countries"
The statement refers to the appoint
ment of the committee to write IN the
name of those present a letter 10 tne
president of the Farmers Union ana 10
officials of other cotton farmers organ
izations asking them to advise tnelr 10
cal Unions and other subordinate bod !

TYPHOID IMMuNIzATIoN.
The State Is Now Sending Out Free
Bacteria.

Some $50 initial doses" Of typhoid
vaccine, says Columbia dispatch,
have been distributed to physicians
throughout the state by the state
health department. since the distribu-
ton was commenced about two weeks
ago. The typhoid vaccine Is given free
to physicians applying for 1t, and 1t Is
expected that the good results OF this
preventive work will soon be apparent
in south Carolina in a lessening of the
number Of cases of typhoid fever In
the state. The distribution Of this
vaccine Is under the supervision OF DR..
F. A. Coward, who, 1t will be remem-
bered, has also in charge the state Ia
boratories for the Pasteur treatment or
hydrophobia.
The vaccine is prepared at the state
laboratories ut the University OF South
Carolina, where all the laboratory work
of the health department is carried on.
It consists essentially Of dead typhoid
bacteria. The bacilli are grown In the
regular incubators, then measured and
numbered by technical process, ana
made into solutions, which are injected
underneath the skin with hypodermic
syringe. Three doses are generally
given. Half billion Of the dead germs
are injected into the system for the
first dose, then ten days later another
Infection of billion Is given, followed
by another billion within another ten
days. These numbers appear rather
large, but the actual amount OF the IL
auid, Of course Is very small.
The dead bacilli perform, according
to the theory, practically the same OF
fee in the body as would the disease IL,
fever. say the physicians, certain sub
stances, called "anti-bodies," are
formed in the blood, and as long as
these anti-bodies are present In any
large quantity, the person Will not
again have the disease. The vaccine
II is believed, creates these antt-bodies
in the blood without the disease. Be
ing dead they of course cannot give the
patient typhoid fever, but by creating
the anti bodies they render the patient
immune to typhoid fever for at least
two years. After two years, the immu-
nifty is only partial and disappears en-
tirely after eight or ten years.
So far as can be learned, there mas
been recorded no fatalities following
the use Of the typhoid vaccine, since II
came into use about fifteen years ago:
The injection is sometimes followed
by some local irritation, but this passes
off in q day or two.
It is proved beyond reasonable doubt
that the vaccine has been a great doom
to humanity. especially in aggregations
such as armies, where contagious dis
eases have an easy chance to spread.
II is stated that out of 1854 soldiers
in the American army vaccinated, there
were only five cases of the fever. with
no deaths while in the remainder OF
the army there were 41S cases. with 80
deaths The rate per thousand among
vaccinated was only .39 but was ten
times as high among the unvaccinated.
It it probable that the use OF the
vaccine will increase among the physi-
clans Of the state once 1t has estab-
lished itself, and especially as 1t Is fur-
nished free of charge by the laoora-
tories here.

Columbia, August 23 There were
900 young men to go to the front
in the war between the sections half
century ago and today the remnants
of this army from South Carolina
marched in a faltering, thin gray line.
The parade this afternoon closed the
annual reunion, which has been most
successful. The veterans marched
through Main street from the state
house to Hampton street and return.
The governor stopped the veterans af-
ter the parade and delivered one OF
his hot political speeches. The veterans
at their business session today, en-
dOrsed the bill that was introduced at
the last session of the general assem-
bly, with regard to purging of the pen
sion rolls and closer inspection of the
lists that are now used in the several
counties of the state. The veterans,
however, voted to cut out the $1,000
pension inspector provided for in the
bill that was presented to the legisla-
ture last year. At the morning session
Gen. B. H. league Of Aiken, was re-
elected commander of the first brigade,
and Gen. Frank Crouch of Barnwell,
of the second brigade.

SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICS.
Broad View at Short Range From
Across the River,

Right now one Of the most interest
ing questions of public Importance,
very probably more interesting and
more important than all others and yet
which Is only in its earlier stages Of
consideration, Is that Of finding a
leader before the opening Of the next
state campaign. The Charleston News
and Courier, a short time ago, under
the heading: Wanted: A Leader"
propounded a question based on the
possibility of finding a man strong
enough to succeed to the governors
chair. Immediately the press Of the
state has taken up the discussion and
appears to be vastly concerned over
the situation. The Greenville Pied
mont contends that ANY man can't
beat Blease, but some man can," yet
that paper has not offered suggestion
nearer concentrating the state than
others who have entered into the dis
cussion.
It being a fact that the press of
South Carolina, almost In its entirety,
Is unfriendly to the present executive,
1t Is not surprising that the discussion
has confined itself almost entirely to
political contention. 1t Is pleasingly
notable, however, to find one paper
which, finding in the present situation
an opportunity to do so, has gone onto
q little higher plane than merely sug-
gesting the necessity Of defeating an
Individual politician and has In mind
and sees an excellent opening to do
South Carolina something more than a
political good, as politics usually go
over there. The YorKville Enquirer
takes this view Of the situation:
1.-The Enquirer Is profoundly i'm
pressed with the fact that II this state
needs one thing more than another, 1t
Is strong. able, capable political lead
er; but when we say leader leader
Is what we mean. The situation Is not
to be improved in the least by the mere
finding Of a time serving politician,
who might be able to combine enough
of the present contending elements to
control the situation on basis Of sat
isfying each faction with such recog-
milton In the matter Of Office, honor.
distinction, influence, pull, ETC., as 1t
thinks 1t should have. By leader we
mean a man who stands for the hon.
est Just and impartial enforcement Of
all the laws, and whose character and
record are a guarantee that none but
Just and wholesome laws will have his
approval and support"
South Carolina has produced just
such men, not one Of them, but many;
and they were real leaders" leaders
whose mark has not been confined to
their own state, but has gone over the
country. Nor are men Of that class
and calibre gone from the state with
the years that have passed. South
Carolina still has them, and 1t is to be
hoped that the man pictured by The
Yorkville Enquirer will be found, and,
when he Is found his native patriotism
will assert itself.-Augusta Chronicle.

Now when we find southern senators
and congressman giving their personal
attention to the cotton market, the
situation begins to look encouraging.
There is in the south's cotton crop
more possibilities for wealth and pros
perity for this section than there would
be in military power. There is no 9TH
er means Of which we have any knowl-
edge by which we can better regulate
the injustice of the tariff or by which
we can better protect ourselves against
the iniquities of the pension system.
Let us make the north and the world
pay a fair price for our cotton, and
they may be welcome to all they can
take away from US by means of legis-
lation. The means of complete defense
are at hand If we will only make prop
er use of those means.

Catawba and Broad rivers are SO
low that there are no authentic rec
ords to show when they have ever been
lower.
The fixing up of the Allison creek hill
on the Armstrong Ford road Is the
next problem Of Importance in the
proper development Of the Bethel
road: but we are quite sure that the
Bethel township people will do their
part by that.
Of course, no one man can claim the
credit for putting the north and south
road nv way Of the Lincoln instead Of
the Filbert route; but those who fail to
recognize the services Of Mr.. John
McCarter in this matter will at the
same time confess their inability to
look under the surface Of things and
comprehend facts as they really are.
Except for the splendid work Mr.. Nc
Carter did in getting up subscriptions,
and in arousing people to the tremend-
Gus Importance Of wise selection Of
the proper route, there Is good reason
TO believe that grave mistake would
have been made. So great would have
been that mistake, that the county
would have had occasion to regret 1t
always.
Formerly newspaper publishers en-
titled to the second-class rate did not
hesitate to put copies Of their paper
IN the mail whenever convenient, not
withstanding a rule that all papers
must be mailed on regular publication
days. OF late, however, the department
has been getting stricter and stricter,
and now a paper mailed on other than
the date of its publication must have
a one cent stamp affixed. Frequently
we get letters or postal cards from
subscribers complaining that their pa
pers have been lost or mislaid in some
way and asking for others to replace
them. While, ordinarily, we have made
no question of furnishing additional
copies under such circumstances. even
though we had no reason to think that
We were in any wise responsible, we
want to suggest when writing for pa
pers it is just as we'll to send five cents
in coin or stamps.

negro was dead. AS soon as the sheriff
and his assistant had been locked up
the negro was led to where an OIL
soaked brush heap had been built
around a telephone pole. He was tied
to the pole, shrieking and imploring
for mercy. The pile was lighted and
the crowd cheered as the flames licked
the victims face. Men and women
in motor cars stood up to watch him
die. After the flames died down, the
crowd slowly dispersed. The negro's
body was burned to a crisp.

turkey, PIease."-The prohibition
local option combination which elected
Ansel in 1906 and 1908 went to pieces
in 1910, much to the benefit Of Cole l..
Blease. The treatment of the prohibi-
tion wing of that coalition by the local
optionists, who had the big daily pa
pers. reminds The Yorkville Enquirer
of the story of the Indian and white
man who went hunting together. When
they came to dividing their spoil, the
white man said: You take the buz-
zard and I'll take the turkey, or I'll
take the turkey and you take the buzz
zard." AS the Indian said to the white
man, so The Enquirer says to its anti
Blease liquor friends: You never said
turkey TO us nary time"
If the Prohibitionists next year have
two or three candidates in the field ana
the anti Blease local Optionists put up
one or more candidates the likelihood
is that Blease will succeed himself
should he care to do so.
If the contest should be between a
clean, able Prohibitionist, who can take
care of himself on the stump and has
no political record to look after, and
Blease, those two and no more, Blease
may be beaten, if he be not fought by
the daily papers as he was last year.
Abuse of Blease will not defeat him.
1t has been tried, and failed.-Green-
vile Piedmont.

By the God of Battles.

The most notable feature of the an
nual reunion of the Confederate veter-
ans of South Carolina in Columbia this
week, was an address in which Judge
Robert Aldrich, the speaker Of the oc-
casion, drew the conclusion that the
failure of the south to win independ-
ence was solely due to the will Of AL
mighty God. This synopsis Of his
honors speech is from the Columbia
State of Wednesday:
Success in war depends upon four
things" he declared, and named them
as follows: The skill and genius of
the generals: the valor and heroism OF
the troops; the patriotism of the peo-
pie, and the material resources Of the
country. That the south was not lack
ing in genius nor Valor nor heroism is
conceded the world over. Therefore,
without touching upon these three
qualities he devoted himself to the
proof that in the fourth quality, too,
the Confederacy was not wanting. He
reminded the old soldiers of the fact
that after the second year of the war
there was no scarcity of arms and am
munition, because Josiah GOrgas, at
the head of the ordnance, was a per-
feet Napoleon in his line of work. He
quoted Gen. Sherman as saying that
he never saw such an abundantly pro-
visioned country in his life; and he cited
battle after battle to show how easy in
each case would have been the COM
plete destruction of the opposing army
by the Confederate troops.
He analyZed the situation at Shiloh,
at Fredericksburg, at Charlottesville,
at the Wilderness and at Spottsylvania
court house to show that the south had
victory we'll within grasp. Then he
returned to the question, why did not
the south succeed? Col. Aldrich gave
his answer to the problem in this SEN
tence with which he concluded his
speech: When you look back and
weigh the influences and situations and
conditions" said he, with an earnest
ness which seemed to be directed at
each old soldier individually, Il tell
you that no Yankee beat you-God
beat you!" And thus he voiced the be-
lief that the outcome of the war-the
surrender of the south was the working

The Gaffney Ledger calls our atten-
tion to the fact that the local magis-
trate has sent up the near beer cases.
Correct; but that does not mean any
thing yet. The cases had to go up one
way or the other, and it will take de-
cision of the supreme court to decide
the matter finally. And if the supreme
court fails to rule against so-called
near beer, it is not difficult to foresee
the outcome.
