URGED TO HOLD COTTON.
HEAD OF NEW ORLEANS Ex-
CHANGE TALKS OF PRICES.
thompson, Indorsing COlquitt's Plan,
Says Present Policy Of Planters
is Suicidal.

New Orleans, Oct. 1O.-In indoors
ing the plan proposed by Gov. Col
quitt Of Texas to call a meeting of
southern governors and representa-
tive men of the cotton belt to devise
a method Of checking the decline in
the price Of raw cotton, w. B.
thompson, president Of the New
Orleans cotton exchange. said today
that the South should rally to the
call.
The way the cotton producers of
the South are now throwing the
staple upon the market is CONNER
cial suicide" said Mr.. Thompson. "It
is by no means certain that the cot
ton crop will be as large as many
have predicted it will be. A great
deal can happen between now and
the time the crop is harvested.
1T is a pity that cotton should be
selling in the country for 9 cents a
pound. Because of the increased
cost of living, the planter is not re-
ceiving penny more than he did
years ago, when cotton was cents
per pound.
Il hope they will awaken to the
situation that confronts them. If
they will only hold back their cotton
and let it go gradually, prices will
Immediately begin to soar"

which the number OF whites has
been preponderant or more nearly

During the ten years from 1900 to
1910 the white population Of South
Carolina increased from 557.sO7 To
b7s.i62. a gain OF 1885. In the
same period the negroes increased
from 7s2.32i TO s35.s43. n gain OF

creased at the rate OF 21.s per cent

HARD ON CLEMSON.
Probability is That Fertilizer Tag Tax
Receipts Will be Decreased This
Year.

Columbia, Aug. lot is expect
ed that the Clemson college income.
derived from the sale Of the fertiliz-
er tax tags, will be cut down con-
siderably by the low price of cotton.
1T is not probable that much fertili-
zer will be purchased because Of the
lack of money caused by the steady
fall in the price Of cotton, the South 8
great money crop.
The report on the sale of fertilizers
show that so far Clemson college has
received $247o17,7S from the tax.
as compared with s221,175.44 on the
same date last year. The total
amount received from the sale in
1910 amounted to 240,OsS.95. 1t is
estimated that the college will this
year receive about s265,0O There
Is tax Of 25 cents en- every ton Of
fertilizer sold, and this means that
the farmers OF the State will use
about 100000 tons of fertilizers this
year.
Announcement has been made that
an agricultural course of one year is
to be established at Clemson college.
This, in the opinion of w. w. Riggs,
Will enable many young men of the
rural districts to attend who are not
in position to give up four years in
regular college course.

TURKEY ASKS AID OF POWERS.
SOUNDS GERMANY ON QUESTION
OF INTERVENTION.
Ottoman Government Contemplates
Yielding Part to Save Rest OF Its
DOmjniOnS.

Berlin, Oct. "A circular note
from the Turkish government asking
the powers whether they consider that
the time has arrived to seek a basis
for negotiations looking to peace be-
tween Turkey and Italy, and under
what conditions, was presented to the
German foreign office here today.
The note contemplates the cessior
Of Tripoli to Italy under certain con-
ditions.
1t is probable that the communica-
tion from Constantinople will be
discussed by other powers before the
Italian government is approached. 1t
Is thought at the foreign office that
Italy may not be ready to negotiate.
The decision to expel Italians from
Turkey, against which representa-
tions of the German ambassador at
Constantinople have not been ef-
fective yet, was designed chiefly, it is
thought here, for effect upon the
coming negotiations. Turkey hoping
that the threat might induce the Ital-
ians to make moderate terms.

TripOli's Comedy.

Nothing in naval annals smells less
of the heroic than the gunpowder
that was expended by the italian
ships-of-war in their fight in the
cause Of civilization-as it was
grandiloquently set forth in a state
ment from Rome-as they lombard
ed the town Of Tripoli. The shots
might as we'll have been directed at
graveyard, as. when the valorous
descendants Of the Caesars got close
enough to jump to the ground with
their faces shaded with their hands
to protect them from any slant shot
of the Turks. they found the place
barren Of inha bitants, save the blind
the lame and the halt.
The prouetting Of the Italian feet
before Tripoli, i's elaborate observ-
ance of the detc'' att-rk n ftr
onslaught upon practically defens
less town. seems very amusing So
deed. Yet here is another naval bat
tie that will be handed down to pos
teritv as a real fight and a glorious
victory. The Turks had no fight in
them, and no appliances for fighting,
as their short-range guns made only
noise. The pyrotechnic display Of the
Italian gunners may be estimated in
so many additional dollars Of debt TO
the already taxation crushed popu-
lace.
This petty byplay Of warfare
should cease. 1t is now being ad-
mitted, as the American indicated at
the offstart, that the so-called war
was hatched up by the Triple AL
nance, and that the issue is fore
gone. Unless the Turks should run
amuck, the capture, Of Tripoli after
sham battle will mark the beginning
of the end Of hostilities.- s.-Baltimore

NEGRO SHOT BY HIS son,
Leonard Wood, COlOred, Is Shot in
Tussle With Ills Son, Marion.

Tuesday night Leonard Wood, an
old negro living out on Manning
Avenue. was shot while tussling with
his son for the possession Of a pistol,
which he was holding. The ball en-.
tered his right breast and he was
dangerously, If not seriously wound

The trouble is alleged to have
commenced because of some ex-
postulations which Wood. senior,
made to his son about going. to GER
tain places and doing some things
which he did not approve OF. At first
the argument was quiet and the tus-
sle was friendly one, but when the
son became angry and tried to take
the pistol away from his father by
violence. 1t was then that Leonard

weapon up so that II It went of It

SELECTION OF SEED CORN.
Clemson Extension Work-ArticIe L..

If one desires to improve his seed
corn for another year the time to do
it is before the present crop is
gathered. When a person follows the
common practice Of securing his seed
from the barn, large ears are in
variably selected and it cannot be
told at that time whether the ears
are large due to breeding, or wheth-
er they have been produced on stalks
which have been favored with an un-
due amount Of fertilizer or distance.
If seed are selected which have been
grown under the latter conditions,
they are not apt to produce large
ears another year unless given a
rather heavy application of fertili-
Ger or more distance than necessary.
Therefore, the seed ears should be
selected from stalks which have
grown under average conditions.
To make this selection properly, it
must first be decided which portion
Of the field represents as near as
possible the average soil conditions
Of the farm. Then from blocky and
healthy stalks which have not been
favored with an undue amount Of
distance or richness in the soil, the
seed ears should be gathered. Be-
fore breaking the ears from the
stalks, one should ascertain their
size as near as possible. This can
20 done by carefully examining them
