PREDICTS DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Well Known Tennessean Says Re
publicans Will Lose.

It is the belief Of Benton McMll-
Ian. Of Tennessee, for twenty years a
leader among the Democrats in con-
gress that the party will sweep the
nation next year and take possession
of every branch of the federal gov
ernment. Mr.. Mcmillan has been IN
Washington the past week, and ne
has conferred with Democratic lead
ers in both the senate and house.
81 was an elector Of the Tllden
ticket" said Governor Mcmillan Mon
day, "and I have participated in eV-
cry campaign from then till now
but the party has not been In bet
ter shape for a great many years
The situation today is the reverse Of
what it has been in past presidential
contests.
.s1n the past the Republican party
has been united and the Democratic
party divided. Today we are unlteo
and the Republicans divided hope
lessly so. The division are not To-
cal, but general. The more advanced
and enlightened Republicans have
come to realize that in the language

sunposed or avowed candidate for the
limited States Senate from Missouri.
There were politicians who ellminat-
ed him from the race by making a
vague and Indefinite promise that
thew would some day support him for
President. The public is Of the opln-
ion that if any politician in Missou-
RI profited by the agreement with
Folk he is so much ahead Of the game
but the country as a whole IS not
found by any such political schem-
ing. Certainly Mr.. Clark was not a
candidate for Senator and did not
profit by any agreement between the
Democratic candidates for Senator in
Missouri two years ago.
''The impression is growing among
public men that the country IS turn
ing to Speaker Clark as the most
available Democrat to nominate for

GOES FOR FATHERS BODY.
Waited Forty-one Years to Recover
it From Glacier.

Miss Edith Randall, daughter OF
John C. Randall, banker of Qulndy,
Mass, who lost his life in the Alps
nearly forty-one years ago, is now
on her way to Chommonix, where she
hopes to recover her fathers body
when the Glacier des Bessons gives
up the bodies of those who were froZ-
en- at the top September 9Th, 1870.
On arriving at the little village az
the foot of the Alps, where the glac-
ier gives up its dead. Miss Randall
will stay at the same hotei where
her father lodged and will met the
children of the guides who also lost
their lives on that occasion.
Randall ascended the Alps with
two ether tourists and nine guides.
The party was caught in the snow
storm and all died. Recent discov-
cries indicate the bodies will be re-
covered within a few weeks.
It takes forty years for the glac-
Ger to travel from the place where
the men perished to the little village
at the bottom.

This STATE LEADS
VALUABLE AGRICULTURAL STA
TIsTIOs PUBLISHED.
Value of Crops in South Carolina Per
Square Mile Reached Second Of all
the States.

Some interesting statistics on the
agricultural situation in South Caro-
lima have been prepared by CommIs
ioner Watson from the recent fedora
census. AS has been announced thi:
State jumped from 21 to 13 points IL
rank in agriculture.
The value Of the agricultural pro-
ducts of the State Increased by 2S.4
per cent. in one year. The value ot
the crops in 1910 was s140,000,000
which was an increase over 1903 Of
s3I,000,000; an increase over 1900
of s62,2SS,000 and an increase Of
sSS,6S5, 900 over 1910, all Of which
shows that the value Of the crops has
increased over 100 per cent. during
te past decade.
With reference to the value of the
crops per square mile South Carolina
ranked second Of all the states with
S4,51S. Other States in comparison:
Illinois, s5,122; Georgia, $3,743;
Texas, s1,36s
All other Southern states show the
value Of crops per square mile te
be less than $4,000.

cording to the statistics cleaned fol

10000. The crop Of 1909 was
worth s312,oOo,0o0 and for 1908
$ s1,230,Oo0. It will be seen that
the cotton crop Of 1910 was worth
$1,000, 900 more than 1908. There
are in the South 44o,o00,00o acres
Of land available for cotton and only
one out OF IL acres Is planted. < OF
the cotton crop 19 per cent was con-
sumed in the United States; 40 PEI
cent was exported and IS per cent re.
NAMED in this country up to Feb
ruary, 1911.
Concerning the value per bale OF
cotton the following comparison
is given: Value per bale, 1910, sS7,.
Is; value per bale, 1904, s50.37;
value per bale, 1898, s3o.22.
It is pointed out that the sum OF
se04 was received for 20 bales OF
cotton In 1898 while the farmer re-
ceived s1,743 for the same number in
1910.
In South Carolina there were IN
1910 175,180 farms or an increase
of 13 per cent over the preceding
decade. The value of the lands and
buildings increased by 1872 per cent;
implements and machinery 112 per
cent; lands 169 per cent; increase IN
labor bill rs per cent
These statistics show that there
were 20,S25 farms added. There
are s4,227 owners, or an increase OF
s4,S10, and of these farms 1887 are
mortgaged. The tenants number H.
O97. The increase in the number OF
tenants during the decade was 1o,-
11a. and the same in preceding de-
cade, $4,000.

president of the Mott Iron Works,
Of which his grandfather was the
founder and well known as a yachts

result OF the development cf an on

what is known as a molane sarcoma.

COWARDLY ATTACK
GANG HOLDS UP AND BOLDLY
BEATS SENATOR BILBO.
Physician States Injured Mans Skull
Fractured, But Wound Not Neces-
sarily Fatal.

State Senator Theodore Bilbo, can
didate for Lieutenant governor o.
Mississippi, was attacked and severe
ly beaten at Starkville, Miss, Thurs
day by J. J. Henry, claim agent o
the Mobile, Chicago & New Orlean:
railroad, and former penitentiarJ
warden, the encounter coming as di
ect sequel to campaign speech de-
livered by Senator Bilbo at Blue
Mountain, Miss, recently in which
Bilbo is credited with having vigor'
ously assailed Mr.. Henry, impeaching
his character.
The affray occurred aboard a rail
road train in which Mr.. Bilbo was
proceeding from Columbus to stur'
gis, Mss, where he was to have
spoken Thursday afternoon. Ross A
Collins, candidate for. attorney gene,
al, who was accompanying State Sen
ator Bilbo to Sturgis at the time Of
his encounter with J. J. Henry, has
given out the following statement:
sWhen the train reached Starkyille
was seated directly in front Of Sen
ator Bilbo, in the smoking compart'
ment, talking with Mr.. Carruthers, OF
West Point. Carruthers left the train
at Stakville and I was looking out OF
the window at about half a dozen
people on the station platform when
heard loud, dull lick. l heard a
man groan and saw Senator Bilbo fall
at the blow from a pistol. Immediate
" man covered the crowd IN the
smoking car with a pistol, and / IN
derstand that another person stood
guard with him. EVERYBODY was made
to yacate the car, and the TWO men
revented any one entering while J. j.
Henry administered repeated blows
upon Senator Bilbo's head and body
with the butt of a pistol. Some peo-
ple on the outside Of the car thinking
Bilbo dead, begged Mr.. Henry to stop
which he did after having inflicted
probably 20 or 25 blows"
Henry was witness before the
legislative investigation subsequent
to the charges of Senator Bilbo that
he had been paid a sum Of money to
forsawe Ex-Governor James K. Var
daman in the senator.:l caucus OF
last year, which elected United States
Senator Leroy Percy as the successor
to the late Senator McLaurin.
FolIowingth the legislative inquiry a
court trial was had of Percy sup
porter in the senatorial campaign,
and he was acquitted of the charges
of bribery preferred by Bilbo. Dur
ing the present political campaign
charges and countercharges between
several of the candidates have fol
lowed fast and partisan feeling has
reached a high tension.
Reports as to the extent of Bilbo's
injuries are conflicting. At first It
was said that his wounds were not
serious, but late this afternoon a des-
patch from Ackerman, in the immed1-
ate vicinity of Sturgis, quotes Dr..
Murphy, who was called to attend
Bilbo, as saying that his skull is
fractured, but he is not necessarily
fatally hurt.

The loss of more than 500 lives is
to be credited to the general heat

the failure at many points to report
specifically the number Of deaths, 1t
