thew ever start, and of the many
insect pests, and climatic changes
that make a late crop so uncertain.
In conclusion your commlttee
would urge, with all the insistence
of calm and deliberate judgment.
that every one who can do so nold
his cotton off the market either IN
his own strength, or with the assist
ance of his creditors and the banks.
Pick it dry, gin it dry, put the bales
away under shelter dry. And If you
must borrow money on it, DO not
borrow more than % or 80 dollars
a bale and for not less than SIX
months. Thirty-day cotton loans
and loans close up to the market
value are worse than selling out
right. We call on all the unions IN
the cotton belt to join us in this
fight. Shut down on cotton now and
for the next 60 days and the fight IS
won. Paper contracts do not run
mills.
Yours for Southern prosperity,

CLASH OF WORDS
SHARP PASSAGE BETWEEN UN-
DERWoOD AND JAMES.
Both Withdraw Remarks and Then
Peace Once More Settle Down in
the Democratic Camp.

AlI0 DCllVSAol1S Oo"ps
Democratic harmony in the house
was momentarily ruffled Wednes-
day, when o. W. Underwood, Dem
ocratic leader, and Ollie James, who
have been close friends, became in
volved in heated exchange of words
in the discussion of a bill providing
for the improvement of Black War
rior River, in Mr.. Underwood's dis
trict. Both. men withdrew remarks,
and the incident was 'amicably clos
ed.
The bill provided for the building
of a dam to improve navigation on
the river. The construction of the
dam would create large amount of
water power, the rights to which,
under the bill, would be leased for
SO years to the Birmingham Light
and Power Company. Mr. James and
others opposed this provision, as
serting the term Of the lease was too
long.
Mr.. Underwood, declaring that he
cared nothing about the water power
feature OF the bill, but was much
interested in the navigation feature,
said that if the hill were held up
work on the Black Warrior would
&c ahead as originally contemplated
at an expense of nearly s250,OOO
more than the proposed dam would
cost.
Mr.. James asked If it was fair to
argue that unless the house passed
the lill, giving a half century lease
to q coporation without limitation
of its charges to consumers, certain
work would be done costing the gov
ernment 100000 than If the right
were given away.
"My friend from Kentucky" re-
plieG Mfr. Underwood, "has just come
out of a successful campaign for
senator where a play to the gallery
has purchased votes, but will say
to him that to claim water power Is
monopoly, to answer me with the
proposition that I am pleading for a
monopoly, Is not fair to me-"
Mr. James responded that ne
would have expected "a statement
more considerate Of the people OF
Kentucky among whom the gentle
men (Mr. Underwood) was born .
Then Mr.. Underwood, explaining
that he spoke under provocation,
withdrew his remarks, Mr.. James
withdrew his, too. The house ad-
journed without acting on the bill.

Witness: j. o. Meredith.
Editor Willis after seeing the let
ter of the governor published above
stated that since matters had taken
the turn they had, he would produce
the evidence, which he has done IN
the affidavits published above, to
prove that The Belton Times state
ment was correct in every respect,
and that then the people of the State
might judge as to whether GOV
Blease had stuck to the truth in de-
nying the correctness, of the article
The Belton Times has. In its pos
session other affidavits to show that
the governor did treat the young Ia

What They Say.
A dispatch from Anderson to The
State says J. H. Merritt, superinten-
dent of the Pelzer Manufacturing
company's mills, Nos. l, 2 and 3,
at Pelzer, said over the telephone
Thursday night that he received the
letter revoking his commission on
Thursday afternoon.
Mr.. Merritt said that he had
nothing whatever to do with the
incident at Bolton, that he was not
in Bolton at the time. His connec-
ton was merely taking the affidavit
of J. NJ. Alexander, who was present
Mr.. Merritt said Mr.. Alexander
came to him voluntarily and asked
that he swear him and accept the
affidavit and that he complied with
the wish and that the affidavit was
forwarded to the Belton Times.
]. nj. Alexander, who is superln-
tendent of mill No. 4, of the same
company at Pelzer, said over the
phone Wednesday night that he was
present at the time Gov. Blease pur-
chased his ticket from the lady at
Belton: that he voluntarily went to
Mr.. Merritt and asked him to swear
him and take the oath and that Mr..
Merritt complied. AS to any state
ment further he had nothing to say
other than that he would bow TO
the will of the governor. He has
not received his letter of dismissal
yet.

Europe Leads in.
Fighting Consumption
Great Foreign Remedy Now Being
Used In America.

Specialists In Europe have been
fighting Consumption during the last
few years with remarkable success
by using a Swiss preparation called
Sirolin.
This is of great interest to suffer
ers in this Country because Sirolin
has been imported lately in great
quantities, and is sure to become Just
as valuable in the treating OF the
disease here as it is abroad.
Sirolin, although very powerful In
attacking the Tubercle Bacilli, con-
tains no harmful or habit-formine
drugs. It seems to agree with the
most delicate stomach, and creates
an appetite that would do credit to a
healthy man, thus making 1t great
body-builder.
Additional information about Siro-
lin can be obtained in this Country
by addressing the Sirolin Company,
22S West Broadway. New York City
All leading druggists are recon-
mending and distributing. Sirolin

He testified he heard two shots fired in
