They 1IiIl Soon Be Here.

The Price-Campbell cotton picker
has demonstrated that cotton can be
picked by machinery much faster
and cheaper than it can be picked by
hand. Among those who witnessed
the demonstration of the Price
Campbell cotton picker near Char
lotte last week was Mr.. D. A. Tomp-
kins, a man who has had much TO
do with cotton and cotton mill ma
chinery, and who is therefore quail
fed to give an opinion on the Ques-
ton of machinery. He is hopeful OF
the Price-Campbell machine, which
he says leaves only about two and
Ialf per cent CT the cotton IN the held.
He says it's picking is practically as
near as can be done by hand, but
little of the cotton drops from the
picker, making the two and a hall
per cent referred to above. Nine
of these machines are now at work
in Texas. and, as Mr. Tompkin says,
it looks as if the present machine is
soing-to stay on the market. Like
all other inventions these machines
will be rapidly improved, and in the
next few years tney will be in use
cil over the cotton belt. Then We
will hear no more complaints about
the shor.ness OF cotton pickers to
gather the crop.

bott's death as follows:

two miles from mud cut, on that Sum
day afternoon and heard the whistle
of the train blow. l thought that the
train had killed one Of fathers year
lings and I went up there to see. 1
saw the Hankies pass by the mud cut,
but did not see the body of Abbott.
The train had gone by tar, time l
got there. I had never seen Abbott
but once or twice and don't know If
I would know him in the street. Dora
Abernathy was nothing to me. / did
not care about her. It Gid not make
any difference to me what Abbott
did. She was my cousins wife. And
that is all know about it. -
George A. Abbott, brother Of the
man who was Killed thirty-two years
ago, heard recently that Abernathy
had made statements in Blacksburg
that he committed the crime. He at
once began an investigation. He
employed J. c. Duncan, formerly
chief Of police at Gaffney, to work on
the case and when tie prosecutors
thought that sufficient evidence had
been secured. Abernathy was arrest
ed. Solicitor Otis has stated that he
has six witnesses Of Blacksburg who
heard Abernathy state that he killed
Abbott. It is thought that Aoernathy
talked too much when he was pos
sibly, intoxicated or when he had been
drinking.

Social Changes Must Come.

The social unrest now so manifest
in great Britain and continental Eu-
rope and to a lesser extent in this
country vii not down until radical
readjust-rc.cc,,,t. takes place Of the
whole social and economic structure.
At least that is the conviction Of in
telligent men who have studied the
situation at close range. The masses
have an idea that a more equitable
relation should exist between employ
ers and men, that wealth should be
more equally distributed, and that
wherever a remnant of the old feud
al system still exists it should be ce-
stroyed. a long step forward in th!c
direction has been taken in England
in the last two or three years, and
progress along the same lines is also
being made in Germany and other
countries. Apparently the changes
Of the next few years will be as mo-
mentous as those wrought by the
French Revolution of 1889, but hap
ply without the convulsions and
bloodshed that accompanied that
event. And certainly the results will
be more tangible and farreaching
than those of the revolutionary per-
iod of 1889.

California Moves Forward.

Most likely it is surprise to the
majority of people that the majority
in California for the recall was
greater than that for the Initiative
and referendum" For both amend
ments the majority was oEerWhelnl-
ing. but that for the recall exceeds
that for the initiative and referen-
DUN by severa! thousand. That YER
dict probably means that the deopIe
of California are dissatisfied with
some court decisions in their own
state and elsewhere, a conviction that
the judiciary, as we'll as other OIL
Gals, is not Immaculate, and that the
best corrective for judicial and otner
shortcomings lies in the power OF the
people to bring the offenders TO ac-
count. Evidently. also, the conten-
ton that the power to recall Will
lessen reverence for the courts and
make judges the mere Instruments
Of demagogues did not weigh Win
the Californians.

Senator Tillman's Reelection.

The Washington Post says Gin all
the minor political battle that are go
ing on throughout the country, as
prelude to the major struggle in
1912, the outcome of none will be
more interesting to Washington than
the result of the fight for reelection
being made by Senator Ben Tillman
in South Carolina. Although he has
suffered two strokes Of paralysis,
Senator Tillman's spirit has not been
crushed. He is the same "Pitchfork
Ben that Washington has grown to
love since those early days when,
rugged and bluff, he first came to
the capital to hurl himself into con-
troversy with Grover Cleveland.
Beneath the unpublished manner
of Tillman Washington soon found
the kindly heart Of a real man. The
courage, the homely humor, the
striking individuality Of this typical
southerner all made their impress
upon official and unofficial Washing
to1. People who visited the capital
wanted to see Tillman because he
had become a parn Of the national
drama. The illness of Senator Till
man grieTed ~all his friends. His
absence at the last session left "a void
that no other man could quite fill.
His announcement that he would not
return to the senate caused general
regret, but now that he says he will
come back if his constituents will
send him, the good wishes Of his
friends will be. with him. "It is
so typical of Tillman that he should
make this fight for reelection, "eVen
though" as he says, II should have
to make it from bed Of sickness, "
that Washington would have been
disappointed had it been otherwise.
Perhaps he would not have tried to
come back had there been no op-
position. The manner in which
Governor Blease Of South Car
olina has been testing strength
against Tillman was bound to bring
action from the old warrior. It Is
not in him to lie. back and quit. He
will make fight, and he'll make a
good one, even if he has to be car
RED to the stump. And if he loses,
it will not be because of any lack OF
that spirit and faith that is. said to
move mountains.

How JONES CAME OUT
HE BLOCKED MOVEMENT TO DE-
FEAT GOV. BLEASE.
Being Gotten Up by Tillmanites and
Anti Tillmanites in Every County

in the State.
The Spartanburg Herald says it
learned Sunday from an authoritative
source that the announcement last
month of the candidacy of Chief JUS
tice Ira B. Jones, of the supreme
court, for the governorship suddenly
called a halt on elaborately formed
plans for a, conference of leading men
from all counties of the state, at
which candidate was to be chosen
to oppose Governor Blease who would
be acceptable to all elements Of the
opposition.
There had been much correspond
ence in regard to the matter, and ar
rangements had been made for a
meeting of delegates from nearly eV-
cry county in Columbia during the
Red Shirt reunion. At this meeting
it was proposed to discuss the situ-
alton and make an attempt to con-
centrate on one man. 1t was then pro-
posed to build up an anti-Blease or
ganization in order to be ready for
an effectual campaign next summer.
The Heralds information was a
verse to the publication Of this mat
ter, saying it would do no good and
might injure Justice Jones. He de-
clared, however, that a number of
prominent men who had previously
been on opposite sides Of the polit-
ical fence became disgusted with the
administration of Governor Blease
and agreed to forget their differences
and work in harmony to accomplish
his defeat.
The Herald's informant mentioned
the names Of mum Der of those who
were in the agreement. There were
in the number Tillmanites and anti
Tillmanites, prohibitionists and local
optionists.
The leader of the movement, a
man prominent in state politics in
former years, found that it was look
ed upon with favor in all parts Of
the state. 1t was thought to be the
only way possible to defeat Bease.
Just as the plans were maturing,
The Her wasdni6um Gu mmbl
The Herald was informed, certain
element became suspicious that it
was a plot to put forward former
Governor John Gary Evans, of this
city, as the champion of the oppo-
nents of Blease. This suspicion was
unfounded, according to the Herald's
Information, who said that sentiment
had favored Maj. John G. Richards
Jr., as the candidate above anybody
else.
The suspicious element urged Chief
Justice Jones to take the field at
once and thus gain the advantage
and ward off opposition. There was
conference with Senator B. r. Till
man. Justice Jones forwarded his
resignation to Governor Blease. An
emissary was hurriedly sent to him,
begging him to do nothing further
until the meeting during the Red
Shirt reunion was held. But the
next day Justice Jones announced
his candidacy and the well laid plans
went agley.

PLEA FOR old VETS
GEN. BROOKS URGES THAT THEY
BE GIVEN PENSIONS.
The State Should See to 1t That None
of Her Old Heroes Won't the Nee
essarieS Of Life.

The following plea for the old SOL
diers Of South Carolina is made by
Gen. L. R. Brooks throughout the
columns of The State:
TO the Editor OF The State:
There is class Aof soldiers now
70 years old and upwards who can
not go to the Soldiers home, be-
cause their wives are living, and, as
the law does not provide a place for
these noble women, their husbands,
no matter how feeble they are, can
not and will not desert them. know
some who are renting land that have
lived three score and ten, and yet
they plow; and their wives, who
were tried and true during the war,
and by this time, sc years after that
terrible struggle, tired and worn by
the fatigues Of the farm. What can
be more pathetic? 1t is reasonable
that these old soldiers have at least
Sll month, and that their widows
receive the same amount.
Old soldiers, the State owes it to
you for service rendered. You stood
by the constitution Of the United
States as it was during the bloody
days of the war. The Northern sol
diers rebelled against it. You did not.
You fought, and have received no re-
ward. You carried on points of your
baynoets vistory over many bloody
fields, winning the plaudits OF your
enemies at the time. You represent
the true type of the American SOL
der. You are now unable to work.
You need rest; you need comfort in
your de-lining years.
Our great State, the greatest old
commonwealth in the Union, is able
and willing to give every Confeder-
ate soldier what was paid to him
during the war, s11 per month. Sure
ly, the noble men of our general as
sembly will not refuse S11 to those
of US who have reached three score
and ten, especially the ones who
live by manual labor. They stood the
cold, the heat, and frequently fought
as long as three days without food.
In their nakedness they won battles
and ate the food that was prepared
for the Northern soldiers, after driT-
ing them from their luxurious camps
The world has never produced bet
ter soldiers than the men who fol-
lowed the great Robert E. Lee.
Our Confederacy died aid battle,
its life crushed out by tread Of over
whelming numbers. Its memories are
it's own. Soon all who fought for the
Stars and Bars will be beneath the
sod. Our dead are imperishable mem
ories of what is left to us Of the
dead nation.
Comrades, your valor has been
told in song and story. The principles
for which you fought will never die.
Eternal right, though all things foil,
can never be made wrong.
"Ah, Muse, you dare not claim.
A nobler man than he,
Nor nobler man hath less Of blame,
Nor blamless man hath purer
name,
Nor purer name hath grander fame,
Nor fame-another Lee"
flushed is the roll of the Confeder-
ate drum,
The sabre's sheathed, and the can
non are dumb;
And Fate with pitiless hand has furl-
ed
The flag that once challenged the
gaze Of the World

Coincident with this, strange ru-

of Representative Oscar Underwood
