THE CROP YIELD,

Those who think that the
claims Of deterioration in the
cotton crop is moro imaginary
than real should take a trip over
the fields and convince them.
selves that the estimates made
recently are very conservative,
they do not tell the alarm
ing story as fully as it exists.
Instead Of the falling off being
25 per cent as some Of the esti-
mates are, reliable information
to US is that the loss will be
nearer 80 per cent. Crops that
in the early part of July prom
ised a full yield now show clear
ly the effect Of the seasons, the
fruit upon the stalks are fully
matured and the stalk is practi-
cally dead, there will be no stop
crop" and many Of the bolls on
the stalks are drying up to give
up only small part Of the fleece
that should have been in it.
From the reports made to US,
not by alarmists, but clear
headed conversative men, Clar-
endon will not make as much
cotton as it did last year. and a
month ago there was a good
promise Of at least 10 per cent
more.

WHEN WILL THEY BE SATISFIED?

It is rumored that Hon. Frank
B. Gary will be a candidate for
the bench when Judge Klugh
resigns. but we hardly know
whether to credit the rumor or
not. Mr.. Gary is fine man,
and no doubt he is IL good law
yer, but it does seem to Us that
we have as many OF one family on
the bench as IS proper, enough
to at least satisfy the general
public. unless the State should
adopt the policy of placing the ju-
dietary in the hands Of this one
distinguished family. One brother
is an associate justice, and for
whom we have the highest re.
gard, another brother IS on the
circuit bench, he too, is a very
popular man. now to take
still another brother simply be-
cause there is d vacancy in his
circuit is going it rather strong
we think. When the legislature
assemblies we have no doubt the
former speaker, and vacancy
filing United States Senator will
find that many of his friends
will feel that the bench is fully
supplied at this time with mem
bers Of the Gary family.

Bruce at Bannockburn.

Robert Bruce vas the descendant
Of Norman. He was half an Eng
lishman and half Scotchman, and by
his mothers side he was claimant
to the Scottish crown. After many
daring adventures and rude perils,
borne up throughout by strong perse-
rering conscience and an ardent love
Of liberty, Bruce was able to get to-
getber a patriotic army to meet the
English at Bannockburn In 1914. Be
fore the battle began the Scottish
army knelt down in prayer. Edward
H. was looking Oh. He turned to h,s

Easy to Mako a Gun.

The ameer Of Afghanistan once start
ed q gun factory Of which be was very
proud and placed it under the super
vision Of smart Yankee who could
keep his business to himself. Ameer
Khan, one of the ameers chiefs. came
in to see the factory one day The
Yankee showed him around, and ut
the end Of the inspection Ameer Khan
said:
''This looks very simple. Now tell
me just how to make gun, and I will
set up a factory in my own province
on my return home"
ut looks simple" said the Yankee,
land it is simple. To build gun you
make hole first; then you wrap some
iron around it. and there you are"
Ameer Khan shook his head. "Ah," I"
he said, there is plenty Of air for the
hole in my province, but how the iron
should be wrapped around It Is thing
none Of my people know"

MERIT AID not POLITICS.

The contest for the Judgeship
to be made vacant by the resig
nation of Judge Klugh in the
Sth, circuit promises to be a live
ly one; already two of the Able
vile Bar are candidates, and
there is no telling how many
more candidates will come from
the other counties in that cir
cult. Of course, every lawyer,
whether or not he has had d case
in court regards himself qualified
for the bench, and if he can Sc.
cure the endorsement Of the
other lawyers of the circuit he
stands a good chance Of election
before the general assembly.
AS we said last week Hon. ".
n. Graydon is a candidate for
the iudgeship. and we do not
believe a better man could be
found for the position, if a sterl
ing character, long experience,
and success at the practice in its
various grades: broad minded and
independence are the requisites,
he is possessed of these qualities
and would be a splendid acqulsi-
ton to the bench. But if poll
tics is to play an important part
in the selection Of a man to hold
the scales of justice with an
even hand, we fear Graydon will
not measure up. He has no
political prestige further than
the service he rendered While
a Senator: and here he man
ifested an independence which
forced even his opponents to
admire him. Graydon is Il
reasoner and once he is convinc
ed. there is no vacillation, but
promptly and forcifully he
makes known his position and,
against all comers he is able to
defend by his logical arguments
his decisions.

SUMTER'S BOND ISSUE SHOULD BE AMI
CABLY SETTLED.

The Sumter road bond issue
will have 4 Stumpy road Ia travel
before bonds are secured. 1t Will
be remembered that the election
commissioners threw out a box
on the ground there We're four
teen illegal votes cast in it, which
gave to the advocates of the bonds
q majority, otherwise it would
have been (; tie: now comes the
attorney for the opposition, arm
ed with aftidavits showing that
seven of the fourteen alleged
votes were cast by men who vot-
ed for the bonds, this brings the
result back again to the tie. In
our opinion there is but one way
to have this matter settled salts
factory, aud. that is to adopt the
suggestion Of The Item. to de-
clare No Election" and let it go
back to the voters: unless someth-
ing Of the kind is done. there Will
always be a source of irritation,
contention and soreness, that can
not help the county, and espec-
tally the city Of Sumter will be
injured thereby.
We are interested in the out
icome OF the bond issue in our ad-
joining county, for the reason, if
Sumter votes to bond herself for
good roads it will have a strong
influence on the voters of this
county should the subject be pre-
sented to them, and, we think it
likely in the not far distant fu-
ture. Therefore we hope not to
be regarded as :'butting in"
where we have no concern. 1t is
our judgment the building up Of
the highways is the best invest
ment a people can make, it is
that which brings an immediate
return to every citizen, and the
only way the object can be prop.
erly accomplished, is through the
issuing Of bonds to raise the mon
ey. If Sumter arranges to build
up its public roads through
bonds, in all probability Claren-
don will follow suit, we have a
live progressive people who will
not be content to travel in the old
ruts while our adjoining friends
are enjoying the comforts and
conveniences Of first class high
ways. For this reason we are anx-
ious that a satisfactory adjust
ment Of the differences can be
reached. When this has been done
and the good work begun by our
neighbors. it will bolster up the
argument in this county when the
campaign IS on for good roads.

COTTON TARIFF NOT DISTURBED.

President Taft vetoed the cot
ton tariff bill, which in our opin-
ion meets with the approval of
even those who voted for the
reduction. There has been a
whole lot Of little politics played
in the congress which has just
shut up shop. the hypocrisy has
been so glaring that it Is practi-
cally confessed the cotton tariff
reduction measure was support
ed by the southern members to
be in position to reout the charge
Of Inconsistency, we do not be-
lieve there was a southern man
in congress who at heart wanted
the tariff reduced on cotton, and
especially do we think the south
ern men interested in the sugar
and rice schedule played little
politics when they voted for a
tariff reduction on these articles
grown III the south: and which:
if the duty is taken of, open the
gates for the foreign product to
flood this country at prices far
below the cost Of production Of
labor here. The veto by the
President saved to the cotton
growers a lot of money for the
present crop. but when congress
reconveues there is no telling
what the Democratic majority in
the House with the mixed
breeded senate will do in order
to get an advantage over the
party which has had control
these many years: and which
claims the credit for the present
progress and prosperity Of the
country.

The election in Jefferson coun.
ty Alabama, which includes the
city of Birmingham, reversed it
self on last Thursday on the liq-
uor question. In 1907 the county
voted for prohibition by /; major
ity Of !, 500, and returned to the
saloons by about 1900 majority.
The issue was mainly dispensar.
les OF saloons, although the ques-
ton Of wet" OF dry, was also
voted upon. 1t will be remem-
bered that the Alabama le@isla-
ture in 1907 adopted a very strin-
gent prohibition Law, so stringent
that as the time We predicted it
would not stand any longer than
the people could get a chance at
the polls to reverse ii. There is
only one way TO handle this trou-
blous question. and that is by To-
cal self government.

The recent registration in
Charleston show 9,210 names on
the books, there will be a purg-
ing of the double entries which
will reduce the number down
considerably. According to
the number of white population,
we doubt if Charleston has over
5000 voters, it has has never
voted that many, but in a hot
election where the politicians
are intensely interested, and the
beer is free, there is no telling
the number Of votes that can be
gotten to the polls.

Governor Smith of Georgia has

Governor Smith of Georgia has
vetoed the Act passed by the leg
islature, permitting the exchange
of railroad mileagefo for newspaper
advertising. Just why newspa-
pers should not be permitted to
contract with the railroads for
mileage or anything else We can
not see, it strikes US that the gov
errors action is a direct strike at
the constitutional right of con-
tract. However, the newspapers
Of Georgia may be allowed to sell
their space for real money which
in the end Will suit them better
in most instances we imagine.

Senator E. D. Smith has added
considerable to his prestige since
he put the department of agri.

ton in the matter of sending out
estimates of the cotton crop, a
new report is to be given out
Friday. and if the former estl-
mates of the department shows
to have been greatly over esti.
mated: as it is believed will be
the case, then Smith will have
done the South a valuable SER
vice, at any rate his directing
the attention to the lax methods
employed to estimate this impor-

WAS HILL FORGED OUT?
The Impression Prevails That Taft Asked Former German Ambas-
 sador to Resign.

pr. David J.

His resignation will take eff. feet on July 1, by which time 1t is ex. pected that President Taft will have named his successor.
 1t is the impression that there were differences of opinion between pr. Hill and the state department as to the handling of the potash question, which has been under discussion between the United States and Germany foI months. It Is reported also that the officers of the state department re. gretted his failure to bring to their attention commercial opportunities which came under his attention.
