In their anxiety to reach the sur

they MADE NO deal
NOTHING IN THE VISIT OF TILL
MAN AND JONES.
Capt. John G. Richards States That
There Was No Political signifi-
canoe in Their Visit.

That the recent visit Of Senator B.
R. Tillman to his home recently has
no political significance whatever was
the declaration Of Mr.. John G. Rich
ards Monday afternoon. Mr.. Rich
ards also says that conclusions which
have been drawn from the supposed
visit Of Sen. Tillnan and Chief JUS
tice Ira B. Jones to his home at the
same time, to the effect that Mr..
Jones would have the political sup
port Of Senator Tillman and Mr..
Richards, should he make the race
for Governor next year, are entirely
erroneous.
This statement was called forth by
an editorial in the Sumter Item which
has ben copied in various State pa
pers. This comments as follows:
1--WE have been wandering what
would be the political outcome Of
Senator TiMman's and Chief JUS
tice Jones visit to Mr.. John,G. Rich
ards of Liberty Hill, and while We
have not yet found the answer the
following editorial in the Lancaster
News is somewhat Illuminating"
The editorial in the Lancaster pa
per referred to is merely a comment
upon the current reports that Chief
ustice Jones would enter the race for
Governor next year. After quoting
this the Sumter paper continues as
follows: eff Chief Justice Jones
should enter the race for, Governor
against Governor Blease and II he
has the assurance of the support of
Senator Tillman, Mr.. Richards, and
their friends, Cole Blease, will not
serve two terms as Governor all pre-
cedents to- the contrary notwith-
standing"
81 have read comment in the col
umns OF the News and Courier y
said Mr.. Richards, 'this statement
from the Sumter paper Of visit OF
Chief Justice Jones and Senator TILL
man to my house surprised me very
much. Senator Tillman and I, as is
well known, have been warm, perso-
nal friends for a number Of years.
His visit to me had no political signif-
icance whatever. Chief Justice Jones
did not visit my home while Senator
Tillman was there, and therefore
do not see how the Sumter paper
drew or came to its conclusions,
which were entirely erroneous

WOMAN RUNS GAMING HOUSE
Minneapolis Society Ladies Lose
Large Sums in Resort.

At Minneapolis, Mime an ultra
fashionable gambling house has been
closed by the police, after running
sor sevral weeks, during whilh time
hundreds of women have been squan-
iering their time and money in the
place.
A highly respectable society woman
Of the city ran the place. She was
successful in her enterprise and the
curb at 723 Nieo,let avenue was con-
stantly lined with limousines and the
town cars of the rich women. All
sorts of games were played, the police
say, a general raid would have been
made, but for the select quality of
the customers of the place.
The closing of the house was caus-
Cd by the wrath OF Sn irate well-to-do
grocer Of the city, who discovered
that his wife had disipated a large
portion of his bank account IN the
beautifully furnished rooms at 72S
Nichollet avenue. The owner was
brought up on the carpet immed-
lately, and closed the doors OF the es-
tablishment to avoid trouble with the
police.

LIQUOR FIGURES
MORE BEER DRANK THAN WAS
EVER DRANK BEFORE.
Had It Not Been for the Prohibition
Movement 1t Might Have Been

There is mighty little encourage
ment for radical legislative temper
ance ayocates to be derived from
the recent figures given out by the.
Internal revenue Office. Following
the high mark of 1907 there was
decline for a couple Of years and it
appeared that the great areas Of leg
islatiyely dry territory were having
some effect upon the traffic.
Then the tide changed the other
way and for the fiscal year that end
ed on the 30th of June reached the
enormous total Of 134,600,193 gal
Ions of whiskey, an increase over
the preceding year of more than 81
100000 gallons. -
The consumption Of beer increas-
ed from 5s,544,775 barrels in 1s1s
to 63,216,S51 barrels in 1871
making a total combined increase for
the year 121, ,049,S23 gallons. Not
only is the aggregate consumption
greater but the per capita consunap-
ton would have been but for the ar
dent efforts of the prohibitions and
those who think temperance is to be
promoted by legislation of that char
acter, no one can tell. 1t might have
been more, though we are rather in
clined to think that the law-maklng
has been without appreciable effect.
upon the whole.
It may have been sanitary and
beneficial in some communities and
it may have been just the reverse IN
others. This much is certain. if the
sumptuary legislation has reduced
consumption in the area to which ii
applies, the folks beyond its reach
have suddenly developed an appetite
and capacity for ardent spirits that
is little short Of alarming.
Because of the increased per cap
ita consumption this latter conclu-
sion does not seem reasonable and IL
accordance with the facts. We know:
of course, the figures are sometimes
misleading but in this instance We
can see nothing in them more strik-
ing that the suggestion with which
this article started, that there is
mighty little in them that Is encour-
aging to the advocates of extreme
legislative temperance measures :

Oil bales of the growth of 1911,
ginned to September /, 1910, $685.

TIE ginning of cotton of the growth
| Of 1911 was carried on more actively
throughout the cotton belt to Sep
tember this year than in any SINH
lar period in the history of the indus
! try, at least as far as accurate gin
| nings records have been kept. This
is shown by the first ginning reports
Of the season compiled by the census
bureau from reports of its correspon-
dents in the cotton growing States. A
total of 771,415 bales has been gin
ned up to a week ago. This is greater
oy almost 100000 bales than the pre-
vious record made in 1905.
The continued hot and dry weather
| in greater portion of the belt, espec-
tally in Texas, was chiefly response
Die for the increase. These condi-
tions meant the early maturing of the
7 crop, but this alone is considered
cause of greater ginning. Farmers
have been more active in getting their
crop to the ginneries and, it is said,
in some counties of Texas, where the
bulk of the Increased ginning was re-
ported, the entire crop practically al
ready has been ginned.
! Little relaxation appears to exist,
according to the census bureau experts
between the size of the crop and the
quantity of cotton ginned during any
period of the season. This is shown
lin the big crop Of 1904, 1906 and
| 1908, each of which produced more
than 100000 bales. In these years
the percentage of the total crop gin
ned TO Sept. was 2.S, 81, and 81
per cent respectively, while in 1905
when the crop was 10,SoO,000, AS
per cent of it was ginned by Septem-
Der 1. Last year 81 per cent Of the
total crop was ginned to September 1.
