the president signed the Payne-Ald.


rich-Smoot bill and vetoed ours.
Instead OF being slapped together
hastily without due consideration
the Democratic wool bill was one OF
the most thoroughly and carefully
considered tariff bills ever present
ed to any president for his sigma
trre.
In view of the foregoing facts, it
surely must be that the president, in
his zeal to reform the broken lines OF
the stand-patters, forgot that all men
were entitled to square deal and
when he uttered ,his monstious and
preposterous sentence:
The bills bear internal evidence
of the fact that they rested on basis
Of not tariff for revenue only, but
tariff for politics only
Really ! do not see how he could
md it in his heart to utter the fore
Going words, for which there is no
basis of fact in the universe.
'Never in the history of govern
ment, venture to say, have import
ant pblic interests bee ndealt with in
such a light-hearted way with such
absolute ignorance of the effect Of
legislation and with such willingness
20 sacrifice business interests to po-
litical eXigencies.
That is as reckless and as un-
fax statement as has been put into
print since Gutenberg invented NOV
able type, and is a personal reflection
on the sense, honesty, integrity, bo-
ma fdes and patriotism Of every man,
Democrat or Republican, who voted
hem. not for myself alone, but for
all who voted as I did.
The president rushed in to create
an issue. We pick up the glove flung
into our faces and the faces of the
Consumers Of the land We gladly

fldert.y beliere that the people will
endorse our cause and give to US the

TROOPS LEAVE TEXAS.
No Troops Are Quartered Near Mex
lean Line.

A criterion of the American Off
cials take in regard to improved con-
ditions across the Mexican border IS
found in the fact that practically all
of the United States soldiers paroll-
ing that quarter have been with
drawn from the immediate vicinity Of
the frontier. 4 few cayalrymen re-
main along the western Rio Grande
border.
The only patrol maintained at
this time is along the California from
tier because of the disturbed condl-
tions in Lower California.
The recommendation of Gen. Jo-
seph ". Duncan, commanding the de-
partment of Texas that restrictions
surrounding the soldiers in his terri
tory in regard to short excursions in

ferred to the State department with
the probability that it will be ap-
proved.

WHY WINDS BLOW.
Why There is Such Thing as Air
Currents, or Wild.

Why Ihere is Sucn InlnS as i4lr
Currents, or Wild.
Astronomers and other scientists
have not yet succeeded in ascertain
ing just how far the atmosphere of
our earth extends above the land and
the sea on which it rests, but some
of them hope to some day soon. the
Astronomer Royal of England, who
has completed his report for the iis-
cal year ending May 10, tells some
Very interesting things about the va
lying densities. attitudes and Tempe
atures of the air cushions, air p ca
cts and air currents surrounding the
earth.
In reference to air currents and
the reasons why the wind blows, the
report explains that air consists of
gaseous particles, all trying to get
away from one another, AM tfat,
compelled to come closer together by
contraction, or forced to f!y further
apart by expansion. A quart bottle.
for example holds % grains CT air at
the temperature of 70 degrees. If
the bottle be cooled by surrounding
it with ice, the air inside contracts.
When this occurs, more a. rushes
in through the bottles neck. The
o"art of air now weighs more than
80 grains. If the bottle be heated,
the air expands; its tiny particles fly
further asunder, and many OF them
escape from the bottle altogether.
There is still a quart of air, but it
weighs much less than the criaiaa!
90 grains.
Now, consider tie earth and the
s"a under t:ia influence o. varying
degrees of the suns hea:. Where
tho heat is greatest, the air is made
lighter and expands. Where the
heat is least, the ar is uGeIpandec
and heavy. Poth hot and cold air
have weight, but the col!. being
heavier, is drawn more effectively to
the ground. IN doing SO 1t drives
the lighter air up out Of its way,
lust as lump of lead dropped Into
a pail of water forces soma OF the
water upward. If the earth were
equally warm at every part, and con-
tinued at constant temoeratule,
wind could not exist 1t blows be-
cause of heat and gravitation. In
other words air moves from the place
where it's weight or pressure is most
toward the place where its pressure
or weight is least.

Little Girl Tells Man to Trust in God
and Be Man.

A special dispatch to the State
says S. H. Rush and J. L. B'uist Of
that place were passengers on the
steamer Apache, which made such a
narrow escape from a watery grave
during the storm. They were re-
turning from New York. Mr.. Rush
says a little 10-year old girl on the
ship was very consoling and sympa-
tfetic to him. He was very nervous
and making public demonstrations
of his feelings. The little girl was
sitting in her fathers lap and reach
ed over and put her hands on his
shoulder, saying, Trust in God and
be a man.

and jealous care as England does,
southern cotton mills could find in
the great undeveloped countries of
South America and Mexico a market
to absorb their output for twenty
years to come. In addition there are
the Philippines supplied almost en-
tirely with cotton cloth by English
mills while we, duty free, send COM
paratively nothing and complain of
high priced cotton and overloaded
markets in the cloth trade. All that
is needed now to establish a paying
trade with Pacific territory is to make
goods in the patterns and weaves de-
sired by the native taade and the re-
suit is accomplished. England does
this and even with payind duty, reaps
profit while we allow considerable
opportunity for Tightening the load

it there in flat defence of Liverpool,

us rouse ourselves in great effort

CRUSHED TO DEATH
TICKET OFFICE BLOWN OVER
WITH FATAL EFFECT.
Two Men Sheltering Themselves Be-
hind 1t From the Storm Are Hor-
ribly Crushed.

E. +. Smith of Columbia and E.
V. Cutter, motorman of the Con-
solidated Company, were crushed to
death when the ticket Office of the
Consolidated ferry wharf on Mount
Pleasant was crashed down on them
Sunday night, about II o'clock, at
the time the terrific storm that struck
the coast was at its height. The
TWO men We're sheltering themselves
behind the Office from the driving
rain.
Mr.. Smith and his wife we're safe
on Mount Pleasant and had made
preparations to remain at the home
Of some residents who had kind
" offered them shelter. l! seems
that Mrs. Smith had forgotten her
pocket book on the ferry boat, and
she send MI. Smith back to the
wharf to get it. He crossed the
bridge to the boat and securing the
purse started back, but just then the
bridge broke and began giving way.
He stopped for shelter behind the
ticket Office and while waiting there
the office blew over, killing him and
Mr. Cutter.
In the darkness and the excite
ment it was not known that the two
men had met their death beneath the
wreck of the office, so their bodies
lay unmolested for hours. When the
office wreck was moved it was found
that the men had been horribly man
sled. There was no way of getting
word of the accident to Mrs. Smith,
and it was not until shortly before
the Venus left with the bodies that
she knew of the sad fate of her hus-
band, whom she had sent on mis-
sion in her behalf.

PLEASED BY REPORT
SENATOR SMITHS CONTENTION
CONFIRMED By 1T.
SAYS He Was Glad Of Opportunity to
Protest Against Reckless Estimate
of the South's Great Crop.

The State says when asked for a
statement in reference to the govern
ment condition report published by
the United States department. OF agrl-
culture and the advance in the price
of cotton, Senator Smith, who ar
rived in Columbia from Chester Fri
day night said:
''Of course it was very gratifying
to me that my contention was right.
And also to see that the telegrams
fror the commissioners of agricul-
ture were practically verified by the
report from the agricultural depart
ment at Washington.
"I am glad that had the privilege
of being in position to protest
against the agricultural department
at Washington using its immense Of
ficial power in such an cutrageously
reckless manner.
81 believe that conditions as they
actually exist warranted lower con-
dition report. I have not had the
pleasure of meeting any of the Cali
fornia cotton growers, but it is ludi-
crous and perhaps from another
view. more than ludicrous for that
State to be set down seriously in a
cotton crop condition report as being
| 100. 1t might be interesting and en-
tightening to know what the comparl-
son of the present crop in California
| was based upon. It has been in only
the last two or three years that Cali
fcrnia has made any cotton at all. l
presume the department scarcely sent
an agent from the East across the
continent to California to estimate
the condition of the crop in Califor-
| mia, as compared with the condition
of the crop in the East. However, in
spite Of all this, it is gratifying to
suppose that the secretary of agricul-
ture took the pains this last month
of ascertainipg through mis- own per-
scnal supervision, some approxima-
ton of the real condition of affairs.
''It is absurd, even now, 70 predict
a yield of the present crop with any
degree of accuracy, for the reason
that the deterioration is still contin-
ming. In most States the fertilizer
are now exhausted. And therefore
| the plant being at it's maximum IN
size or fruitage has little OF no
chance, under any weather condi-
tions, of increasing It's fruitage, but
i is subject to deterioration. There
are limited areas in the cotton belt
where on account of the richness OF
the soil. the plant may continue to
bear and late frost might add
somewhat to the yield in these locali-
ties. But think l voice the opinion
of every practical cotton grower
when 1 say that the major part CT
| the cotton area where fertilizers are
used have reached the limit Of any
further improvement and is subject
now to no change in condition ex-
cept one of deterioration.
II think the September report will
show a still further decrease in condi-
ton and a consequent sslrinkage in
the guesses as to the size of the crop.
I take this occasion to state to all
harties interested that even were a
$4,000, 900 bale crop made, ne world
have need for every pound of it.
And if the value of cotton is to
be measured by the price Of other
articles Is cents a pound is little
| enough in all reason"

ENGINEER KILLED
FLYING PLANK KNOCKS HIM OUT
OF WINDOW.
For Several Minutes His Comrades

injured.
Among the storm casualties re-
ported to the police at Charleston,
the first was that of Mr. AloEza J.
Coburn, an engineet of the Southern
railway, who was struck by piece
of plankins while standing near
window of the yardmaster's Office on
Line Street
Mr.. E. S. Flathmann, night yard
master of the Southern Railway. gave
a very descriptive account of the un-
fortunate accident. Mr. Flathmann
stated that about 1910 o'clock Sun
day night, he, with several other rail-
road men, were discussing the posi-
bility of getting out a. train which
MIR. Coburn was to run. The engi-
neer at the time Of the accident, was
standing with his back near the east
window trying to repair broken
chair, when suddenly a loud crash
was heard, and the small wooden
building was Jared as if struck by
lightning.
In less ime than it takes to tell,
Mr. Flathmann said, it was all over
and the only thing unusual noted at
the time was that the frames of the
east and west windows were blown
away 1t was fully five minutes be-
fore the excited men recovered their
senses. No attention was paid to the
absence of Mr.. Coburn, as it was
thought that during the nerve raking
period he had left the Office and gone
to the round-house. But later de-
velopment showed that he was not at
the engine house, and the yard mas
ter and his party therefore started
out with lanterns in search of their
comrade. They had not gone very
far when Mr.. Flathmann stumbled
over the remains of the engineer.
The body was taken to the yard
office, and the coroner was imme-
diately notified. The coroner did not
view the remains until IL o'clock next
morning. The inquest was held af-
terwards. The board that struck Mr..
Coburn was part of 20-foot piece
of roofing torn from box car, stand
ing on the repair tracks of the car
shops. Mr.. Flathmann bears sever
al ugly cuts on his right hand, and
thinks that either a piece of the win
framing or the shoes of the dead
man struck him as he was hurled
through the west window, near which
Mr.. Flathmann was standing.

conspires to put out the price to de-
