Crops Good In Fort Mill.
Fort Mill Times: 1t Is a matter Of
general comment around Fort Mill
how fine cotton Is looking and seems
to be doing 1t seems that the dry
spell came after much of the cotton
was out of the ground, and the heat
Of May caused it to grow fast. Corn.

gardens suffered greatly during the
long drought. but the rains of the

said nothing about how many Ameri-
can consumers of sugar would be ben
Gifted about two cents a pound.

The insurgent Republicans of the
ly bad fix. They are divided among
themselves and are charged with in
consistency on Mr.. Taft's pet meas
ure, Canadian reciprocity, and in addi-
ton to this they are charged with
having a two-faced record on the di-
rect election of senators. When the
direct election of senators was before
the senate at the last session, Senator
Sutherland of Utah, fathered an
amendment providing for retention by
the Federal government of control
over the time, place and manner of
holding such elections. The Demo-
Gratis raised the point that the adop-
ton of this amendment would give
the Federal government control over
the grandfather clauses in the consti-
tutions Of southern states. Joining
hands with the Democrats, the insur-
gents declared on the floor of the SEN
ate that the amendment would never
do and when it came to a vote, the
following insurgents voted against
the Sutherland amendment: Bourne,
Bristow, Borah, Brown, Clapp, Col
Inns, Cummins, Cronna and LaFollette
and the direct election bill failed Of
passage. Since then the insurgents
have seen a great dark shadow. The
negroes at home had jumped on them
for voting to uphold the southerners
in state control of the franchise. When
the direct election bill reached the
senate during this session, Senator
Bristow tackled on an amendment
practically identical with the Suther-
land amendment against which he
voted in the previous session. When
the vote came on the amendment Mon
day, Senators Bristow, Bourne, Brown,
Clapp and Cummins faced about and
voted for the amendment. Borah and
LaFollette stood by their previous
vote. The direct election bill with the
Bristow amendment must now go back
to the house for acceptance or rejec-
tion and it is reasonably sure that the
Democratic majority Of the house will
kill it. The southern senators say the
south will never accept the direct
election resolution In it's present form,
and will charge the insurgents with
the defeat of the direct election meas
Urea proposition that the insurgents
have been loudly shouting for for
years-and also that the insurgents
have simply sacrificed their princi.
Piles for a few negro votes. The
Bristow amendment was passed by a
vote of As to A, Vice President Sher-
man casting the deciding vote. AS a
record of inconsistency the insurgents
performance of Monday night has the
blue ribbon.

- Washington, June 13: Denouncing
as a traitor" representatives in con-
gress who surrender their action to
party caucus and declaring that any
president is guilty of bribery who
undertakes to control the house
through patronage in those who es-
pouse administration measures re-
gardless of merits, Representative
Lindbergh of Minnesota, an insurgent
Republican, during the wool tariff de-
bate in the house today, attacked what
he claimed was the boss control of
the house, and its manipulation
through the caucus system and pa
tronage distribution. He charged the
Democrats with having worked for
freedom of action in the last congress,
when they co-operated with the in
surgent Republicans; but to have
adopted the evils of the caucus sys-
tenn now they are in power. The
house has capitulated to an unofficial
body now known as the Democratic
caucus, he declared. 1t is not the first
time in history that the majority
membership of this house has COM
mitted treason, nor is the Democratic
caucus the only caucus to have COM
mitted the Offense. Il am talking
against treason anu 1 anu
unhesitatingly say that any member
who surrenders his action to the con-
troll of a caucus, violates his oath, is
a traitor to his constituency and COM
mits treason against his country.
Regarding presidential use of patron
age, Mr.. Lindbergh said: The house
is the only elective body in Washington
and when any president underta ;es to
control it by systems Of personal IA
vors in the shape of patronage to those
who will vote for socalled administra-
ton measures irrespective of their
honest opinions Of their merits or de-
merits, he is guilty of nothing short of
bribery. One person cuts very little
figure here" he added, unless he is
in the swim with the bosses and then
he Is worthless to the people"

are two sworn statements to be made
one for the gentleman and the other

riage license:
