FOR A COW SHOW.

At a more or less informal meeting
of a half dozen interested citizens in
Guiding Mr.. John r. Hart, mayor Of
Yorkville, and Mr.. G.. H. O'Leary, pres
ident of the Board of Trade. held in
the court house yesterday afternoon,
the idea of holding a cow show in
Yorkville at some early date hereafter,
to be agreed upon was favorably dis
cussed and adopted, subject to the ap-
proval and cooperation Of the town
council, the Board Of Trade and the
business people generally.
A temporary organization was ef-
fected by calling Mayor Hart to the
chair, and electing Mr.. Bun Bridges
secretary, after which there was a
general discussion Of the probable
benefit Of the proposed undertaking
and more or less consideration of the
labor and expense that will be in
volved in making of 1t success, that
would be Of benefit to the COW owners
of the country surrounding. and q
credit to the liberality and intelligent
management of the town Of Yorkville.
At the request Of the chair. Mr..
Bridges outlined general plans for the
show about as follows: I'm the first
place Mr.. A. S. Barron has kindly Of
fered the use of his large livery stable
building Is admirably suited for the
purposes of the show. There is no
question of the fact that we have an
unusually large number of fine cows
all through this territory. and the
biggest problem will be to get
their owners to put them on ex-
hibition. This problem, however.
think can be readily solved by
the offer of liberal premiums for but
ter fat production, regardless of looks.
and for the best looking cows. OF
course, the farmers would not bring
out their COWS solely on the possible
chance Of winning prizes. But In con-
nection with the show we Will arrange
to have a number of cow experts like
the dairymen at Clemson, Prof. Ira w,
Williams, superintendent Of the state
cooperative demonstration work, Mr.,
b. Harris the we'll known cow man
of Pendleton, and probably Mr.. Clar-
ence II. Poe of the Progressive Far
mer. These will give talks In which
there will be much valuable informa-
ton as to the economical and profta-
bile care Of cows and In which they will
show up all the fine points OF the diff
ferent animals I'm a way that will be Of
very great value to everybody, who
takes advantage of the opportunity to
listen to them. Also l think that there
will he no trouble about securing the ac-
tive interest and corporation of whole
sale dealers I'm salt, washing powders,
separatOrs. dairy products. cow barn
fixtures, etc, and this will also be Of
more or less educational value. Mr..
Bridges suggested that among the
necessary prerequisites for entrance
should he the keeping Of butter rec
ord for not less than a week previous

Gaffney Ledger March %: The en-
tire population Of Gaffney was shock
ed Friday morning to learn that Capt
James B. Bell, editor of the Cherokee
News, had on that morning suffered q
stroke of apopleXy. Capt. Bell retired
Thursday night in his usual health and
good spirits and the attack Friday
morning was so sudden as to cause
alarm and uneasiness in the household.
Mr.. Brian Bell Of Columbia, was sum-
moned by long distance phone mes
sage. All that medical skill and ten
der, loving hands could do was done
to relieve the sufferer, and while the
patient remained unconscious during
the greater part Of Friday he began
to rally late in the day and has con-
tinued to improve steadily ever since.
Yesterday he was reported as being
able to be up. There is no more warm
hearted, jovial person in all the world
than Cant. Jim Bell and his legion Of
friends in Gaffney and all over the
state will wish for him speedy re-
COyery.

The Columbia State moves the re-
peal of the act providing for special
judges, and we heartily second the
motion. In our opinion, II there has
ever been any warrant for the system
at all, it has been very much abused,
and that abuse has not been delayed
to the present time either. We are
believers in the proposition that long
tenure is absolutely essential to intel
ligent, impartial judicial service, and
the temporary character Of the special
judges authority is sufficient in itself
to condemn the whole system. OF
course, we have no sympathy with
Governor Bleese's contention that only
his friends should be appointed spe-
cial judges, because that Is too easily
accommodated with the idea Of control
Of the judiciary by the executive and
is contrary to both the letter and spir-
it of the constitution under which we
are trying to live.

The Cow Show.

The COW show which 1t is proposed
to hold in Yorkville, will so far as we
have information, be the first thing of
the kind attempted in the state and
will, there Is every reason to believe,
be Of splendid educational value to
those who are beginning to interest
themselves in cows, as we'll as Of great
advertising value to the town and
community.
We have it from those whose ex-
perience entities their opinions to the
most weight, that there are some unu-
sually fine milk COWS in this commu-
nifty; that as a matter Of fact fine
cows are the rule rather than the ex-
ception; but that still the people who
own them have a great deal to learn
about cows, and we do not doubt the
correctness of this opinion.
The cow has been here for so many
years that it would be idle to try to
trace her coming. She has all the
while been regarded as a domestic
necessity, and has been treated ac-
cordingly. There has been very gen.
eral recognition of her importance all
along; but it is only within the last
fifteen or twenty years that people
have been giving really serious atten-
ton to her possibilities, agriculturally,
commercially, or otherwise. She has
not had anything like the attention to
which she is entitled, and under the
circumstances 1t Is not surprising that
people should have really fine animals
without being fully aware of the fact.
At this proposed show, the idea Is to
secure the exhibition Of all the best
cows in the country under circum-
stances that will show them off to the
best advantage and steps will be taken
to secure also the presence of some OF
the most noted and successful cow ex-
perts in the country, who will be able
to tell the local cow owners just what
they have, and what they should do In
the direction Of Improvement. =.
There Is reason to believe that the
proposed show will attract attention
not only in this immediate vicinity;
but from without the state, and there
is in the prospect that which makes
it we'll worth the while Of local people
business folks generally, as we'll as
COW owners particularly, to give the
undertaking their most earnest and
liberal support.

READY FOR THE FRAY.
Outlook That the House Will Revise
the Wool Schedule.

Washington, March 26.-Members
Of the ways and means committee OF
The house Of representatives are not
much excited that western wool grow
ing interests are preparing to march
upon Washington In force when the
tariff question Is considered
while / have no authority to say
that wool growers will not be given a
hearing" said Chairman Underwood,
''it Is my opinion that they might just
as well make an assault upon Gibral-
tar as upon the house. We know all
the arguments that will be advanced
against the revision of schedule K,
but there Is no question about what
the house will do. We will make our
revision and send it to the senate and
whether 1t goes any further remains
to be seem"
The comment made by Mr. Under
wood reflects the attitude Of tho en-
tire majority Of the ways and means
committee and the leaders Of the new
Democratic house.
Acting as a committee on commit
tees, the members of the ways and
means committee have practically
completed their labors. Possibly 1t
will be the judgment Of the Demo-
cratic caucus next Saturday that all
ganized Immediately.
No action has been taken by the
Republican minority concerning COM
mittees.
1t Is probable that most Of the i'm
portant places will be filled by men
who are now the ranking members.
1t is likely that a place on appropria-
tions will be given to Mr.. Cannon,
who was chairman Of that committee
prior to his elevation to the speaker
ship.
Mr.. Cannon has told a number of
his friends that he does not want the
leadership Of the minority I've had
my fling" he said. Unless urged by
standpatters 1t Is not believed that he
Will be a candidate. In the event he
should not be elected 1t Is likely that
the contest will be between Mann of
Illinois and Weeks of Massachusetts.
Both would be sure Of large follow
ings should they become rival candi-
dates.
Some time ago 1t was announced
that no effort would be made to con-
slider filling vacancies on committees
in the senate until after the conven-
Ing Of congress in extra session on
April 4. The informal talk so far in
dicates that there will be a genuine
attempt Of regulars and progressive
Republicans to "get together" The
promotion to vacant chairmanships
under the seniority rule will give the
progressives a good show and 1t Is
likely also that places will be given to
this faction on most of the important
committees, such as finance. appro-
priations and judiciary.

PRICES AT STANDSTILL.
Cotton Trade Also Guessing on Extra
Session.

This coming week the cotton mar
ket, says a News Orleans dispatch of
yesterday, Is extremely likely to be
deadened by the approaching session
Of congress. To some extent 1t was
felt last week, and this week traders
on both sides will do more or less
evening up of commitments In order
to be prepared for any attacks that
may be made on trading in future
contracts.
The general belief is that legisla-
ton of a beneficial nature will be at
tempted and that interference with
ernment supervision. This Is some
thing that the best element in the
cotton trade is hoping for and openly
working for AS the situation now
stands, however, spectators will treat
as bearish influences any agitation In
congress until it Is positively known
that the measures to be introduced
are not similar In character to the
Scott BILL which failed last session.
1t Is now much of a weather mar
ket, and from this on the daily swing
of prices will be the result Of more
construction placed on the weather
map than any other factor. The mar
ket will open for the week with the
lTdue dIlSlOuS u ulSCOuIll TIC WedllcI
developments over Sunday. The fore
cast called for rain over partly the
entire cotton belt and should the re-
turns from the belt indicate that gen.
eral rains fell, the advantage will be
with the bear side, for the feeling still
exists that the deficiency in rainfall,
as the result of winter drought, has
not been made up. OF course, with
continued rains. the time will come
when complaining of too much rain
will be heard. few days more Of
wet weather and planting and prep
arations for planting will be inter-
fered with. while in the very early
sections 1t will cause foul and grassy
crops.
Statistics were very bullish last
week. and the movement for this week
started off with the promise that the
into-sight would again be very small
The generally accepted theory Is that
a week Of large spinners' takings is as
a rule, followed by week Of smaller
takings. Last week takings were ex-
ceptionally large, which caused belief
In smaller takings this week. At the
same time the into-sight promises to
be so small that large decrease In
the visible supply is possible, and,
after all, the variations in the visible
supply are the main feature Of the
weekly statistics The figures last
week. bullish as they were, had no
effect on the market but it Is un-
natural to suppose that the statistical
position can continue to strengthen
without causing an upheaval sooner
or later, and many experienced trad
ers are watching figures closely,
knowing what Is bound to take place
when conditions are ripe.

The Columbia State Of Sunday con-
tains another letter from T. B. Fielder,
making more threats as to how hot
he is going to make it for Governor
Blease and his associates, and Cover
nor Blease has given out to the news
paper men an intimation Of the sensa-
tional things he is going to show up
against the attorney general, T. B. Fell
der and others. Maybe, both can do
what they say they can do, and If so
all right. We don't think anybody on
the outside has any objection; but
somehow it seems to us that we would
be more impressed If these doughty
antagonists would come forward with
facts, rather than with scurrilous in
situations and threats. Anybody can
make charges, and some people are
simply past masters in the practice
of hurting forth personal abuse. But
that kind of stuff is worth nothing.
1t is worse than silly. What the pub
lie wants is facts.

Just after the recent election Sena-
tor Tillman referred to the victory Of
Governor Blease as an illustration Of
the small influence Of the press of the
state, and now he Is saying that Mr..
Blease has lost his poise somewhat as
the result Of the nagging Of the press.
It Is strange how these things can be-.
In the first place, we do not think Mr..
Blease has lost any Of such poise as
he may have had. We are unable to
see that there has been the slightest
change in his expressed views or ac-
customed conduct. But even If there
had been a change, 1t could not be at
tributed to the discredited press. be-
cause Governor Blease has all along
claimed that he does not read the pa

Many are looking for Fielder to make
good and others are looking for the
governor to make good. Some are
wondering whether both are bluffing.
In the story of the Lonesome Pine, a
tale of the Kentucky mountains, there
Is related a thrilling episode in the
progress of a long sustained feud in
which an equal number Of leaders OH
either side are described as being
brought suddenly and unexpectedly to-
gether, with the result that each man
covers his antagonist with his rifle;
but none dares to fire, because he
knows that the first shot will be the
signal for certain death for all. That
was a scathing attack that Mr.. Fielder
made on Governor Blease; but if there
were any facts in it, they were not ac-
companied by proof. 1t did not even
give convincing answer to the charge
that he was the author of the letter
that the governor had given out as
coming from him. The main thing in
it was a promise to make some real
revelations. The governor has given
out an intimation that he can make
some revelations also, and has prom
ised to do it. We are about as we'll
prepared to look for things sensa-
tional from the governor as from Fell
to learn things. That each is afraid of
the other as described in the episode
recited, we are not prepared to claim.
II the threatened exposures really be-
gin, then it is to be taken that the IL
lustration does not apply. If it does
not begin there will be still other rea-
sonable explanations other than that
one may stand in fear Of the other.
For instance, there are those who sus-
pect that Fielder got his job as attor-
ney for the winding-up commission
on the strength of information he had
previously acquired, either as attorney
for the whisky houses or through his
efforts to get on the ground floor with
the South Carolina grafters. If this
be true. then he is out only for the
stuff. and what he previously offered
to the winding-up commission he
would now as readily sell back to the
whisky houses. Again 1t may all be
an empty bluff. On the other hand If
the governor has anything of a sem
sational nature bearing on the situa-
ton, it is his duty to give it odt
whether Fielder comes back again or
not. What is going to happen no man
