The succession of fines which has
marked the progress of the govern
ments successful campaign against
wire manufacturers recently indicted
for forming pools in alleged violation
of the antitrust laws, reached cli-
max last Friday when Edwin E. Jack
son, Jr., the New York attorney whom
the Federal attorney termed the
head and brains of the trust was
sentenced to pay $4,000. This is by
far the heaviest penalty inflicted upon
any of the seventy-three wire manu-
facturers who have pleaded nolo con-
tendere but it did not satisfy United
States District Attorney Henry A.
Wise He pleaded with Judge Archi-
bald 10 send the wire trust attorney to
Jail. He declared tonight that he
would apply for Mr.. Jackson's disbar-
ment. Ten of the indicted men, in
Guiding Mr. Jackson, changed their
pleas of not guilty to nolo contendere
today. They were fined $1,000 each
with 500 more for each additional
indictment. Against Jackson nine in
dictments were found and his fines
We're $1,000 for each count. In addi-
ton he was sentenced to pay $4,000
in costs. District Attorney Wise told
the court that the defendant had
made $211.000 in organizing the wire
pools i'm 1908 and 100000 i'm 1909
and charged that he had violated the
law for twenty years. In my opinion, "
he continued this man is the worst
type of criminal that society has to
contend with. He knew he was Vio-
lating the law and he dragged others
into it," Others who pleaded and
were fined today We're: Herbert l..

What Will vardaman po?-The as

What Will Vardaman Do2-The as
surance that James K. Vardaman is
coming to the United States senate as
the colleague of John Sharpe Williams
of Mississippi, has led to much Specu-
lation in Washington regarding the
kind of figure he will cut in congress.
That the long haired one will be in a
class all by himself, unless comparison
may be had with JEFF Davis Of Arkan-
sas, is admitted.
Davis has never done anything since
he came to the senate except to make
himself the laughing stock of the body.
Coarse and ill-grained he seems out of
place with his surroundings, and 1t is
doubtful if he ever will fit in. He was
not made for the senate, no matter
what may have been thought OF him
i'm the great state of Arkansas.
Will Vardaman do any better? With
prejudice 50 strong for the south as
to be offensive, the outlook is that un-
less he can be curbed he will strike a
Snag before he has been in the senate
many weeks. Fortunately there is
Williams of Mississippi-tactful and
diplomatic-who may, to a certain eX-
tent hold the rough and ready Varda-
man in check. 1t is not probable that
he would otherwise be restrained from
the traits of wOoliness which have
heretofore characterized his public ca
reer Vardaman and jeff Davis! Was
the like ever seen before?-Washing

No Boil Weevils Yet.-The boil wee
vii" bobs up serenely in different parts
of the state periodically, but happily
it is not the genuine article. So far
saws Prof. A. F. Conradi, entomologist
of the college and the South Carolina
experiment station, there are no cot
ton boil weevils in South Carolina.
Prof. Conradi's office is frequently
in receipt of specimens OF 'WeeVlls
sent in by alarmed farmers, VINO nave
discovered what they fear to De the
boil weevil. Recently there was quite
a scare from a sceptical farmer, VINO
was hard to convince that he had not
found the true boil weevil, and there
was much said in the way OF corre-
spondence in one of the papers about
II; but the specimen, when finally sent
to Clemson college for Prof. Conradi
TO identify, proved to be entlreIy
harmless.
Prof. Conradi wishes to call atten-
ton to the fact that there are two
hundred or more varieties of weeVlls
in this state somewhat closely resem-
bling the true boil weevil but that
none of them is injurious to cotton eX-
cept the cowpea pod weevil, which
Wnen lie SelS HuhSly ohA iiiiNN AAS
peas to devour, will attack the cotton
plant This fellow has done some
damage in spots in Bamberg county
and adjacent sections The best thing
to do for him is to plant few COW
peas in the cotton, and in this way
feed him on what he prefers so that
he will let the cotton alone.
OF course, Prof Conradi wishes to
encourage farmers to send in for
Identification any suspicious looking
"varmint' that may be found in the
cotton fields, so that If the genuine
cotton boil weevil' does make his ap-
pearance in this state, his presence
may become known at once, and prop
er steps be taken without loss of time
All specimens of insects and such like
for identification should be sent to the
division of chronology, Clemson Col

LOOKING FOR TROUBLE.
Cotton Market Promises to Be Unset
tied for a While.


The cotton market this week prom
ises to be an unsettled affair, says
New York dispatch of Sunday. Some
of the largest operators in the cotton
world have taken opposite sides of the
market and a battle royal of wits and
money is apparently to be waged be-
tween them. Manipulation will be in
evidence for some time to come, until
fresh developments of great strength
sweeps the market from the grasp of
the manipulators at any rate. The
manipulation that will undoubtedly be
carried on will be the downfall of
many a small trader who carries too
much cotton.
In the immediate future the market
will be less inclined to pay attention
to the legitimate features of the mar
ket than to the more snowy features,
such as the buying or selling of huge
lines of contracts by the big traders
for the purpose of swinging the mar
ket half a cent a pound one way or
another.
Up to the middle of this last week
the market was technically very strong
owing to the large short interest II
carried. This interest was, to a great
extent, run in. Because Of this the
market this coming week, will need
more support from the long side than
il needed last week, as the demand to
cover short cotton will not be as great.
This is a point that must not be over
looked. Again large traders are accu-
mulating huge lines Of long cotton,
which may eventually put the market
in the same position ii was just before
the sensational break from above 1850
TO below IL cents. The large line OF
long cotton owned by certain bull
CLIQUE made this break possible, and
the accumulation of long lines now
should be studied by all classes OF
traders.
The market will not have a normal
feeling Monday because Liverpool Will
still be closed. The trade will express
much curiosity as to how Llverpool
will take the fluctuations on TINS slue
since Friday night.
The movement Of new cotton Is now
getting so large that it may become
feature of Importance this week. Last
week the statistics OF interior towns
were affected in small way by re-
ceipts of new. Their effect ought 10 De
increased this week. With the market
balanced between bullish and bearlsn
influences, new cotton moving In pulk
might help the bears whole lot.
1t is now nearing the time or tropl-
cal storms and already one or two dls-
turbances of this sort have moved out
of tropical waters. For the next TWO
months the bears will always nave 10
contend against the possibility OF q
tropical storm that will disturb their
best laid plans.

Nerves Demand Oats

Oats are rich in 1ecithin-far richer than
any other grain. Lecithin is the main ele-
ment needed in building up nerves and
nerve centers. 1t is notable fact that
nervous people are particularly fond of oat-
meal
The most valuable nerve tonic of vege-
table origin is a product called Avenin-
derived from oats. Physicians prescribe it
almost universally for building up over
worked nerves.

Human Statistics

Here are some facts which we
have learned by personal canvass
conducted in forty States. They
are cited as confirming scientific
opinion regarding the worth of
oatmeal.
In the tenement districts, where
the average child is nervous, wan
and undeveloped, not one home in
twelve serves oats. The children
are blighted, the best authorities
say, by the lack of well-balanced
food.
Among the highly intelligent,
where our best types are bred. seven
out of eight are oatmeal homes.
We consulted 1900 physicians
and found that four out of five
serve their children oatmeal.
We find that four-ffths of all
college students come from these
oatmeal homes. So do the great
majority of the successful in every
walk of life.
But a canvass of 81 poorhouses
shows that 90 per cent. of the in
mates were not brought up on
oatmeal.
In four state penitentiaries, only
two per cent. of the prisoners were
fed on oatmeal in their youth.
Among the hayward boys in
prison schools, two-thirds had never
tasted oatmeal at home.
And the oatmeal-bred person is
the rarest exception among workers
in the lowliest vacations.

Oats Build Brains

Oats contain more organic phosphorus
than any other cereal food. And phosphorus
is the brains main constituent.
Among college professors, who work with
brains alone, our inquiries show that 90 pei
cent. regularly eat oatmeal.
Among college fraternities and eating clubs
we find oatmeal to be the regular dish with
90 per cent. of the members. That's a
natural result of the brains call for phos.
