spikes being driven on each side Of
each street car rail the entire length
OF the bridge. At $3.50 a labor mass
meeting assembled at the Court
House, but labor union officials de-
clared they we're going to permit no
sort of infammatory speeches, but
intended to dismiss the meeting 50
soon as they have urged a cessation
of violence.
The labor mass meeting was far
more quiet than those which preced-
ed it, the net result being adoption
of a resolution, which has been tele-
graphed to Governor Brown, demand
irg immediate withdrawal OF the
troops. 1t is as follows:
"Whereas, three of the citizens Of
Augusta, while peacefully traversing
the streets of Augusta Friday after
noon, were shot down by irresponsi-
BILE militia; be it,
"Resolved, That we, the people Of
Augusta, in mass meeting assembled,
request of his Excellency, Governor J..
NJ. Brown, that the State militia be
withdrawn at once"
Thousands Marched Through Streets.
Following the labor meeting at the
Court House at $3.50, which lasted
ever two hours, a crowd of fully g.
900 marched out on to Broad street,
declaring they were "going to the
power house. At the corner Of 9Th
street an earnest plea was made to
them by one Of their political leaders
lot to attack the power plant or do
any further violence, but disperse
and go to their homes.
Half an hour later crowd
more than half as large congregated
four blocks further up town, in front
CT the fire houses, and again the
same leader mounted into an auto
mobile and made an impassioned ap-
peal to them, on the basis of a per-
sonal plea, that they not attempt vio-
lence but give him their promise to
disperse. Hundreds at q time gave
the. promise and left. At .Aldnight
the streets were clear Of that element
from the mill district, which has
caused all the trouble.
Shortly after midnight the COM
pany of troops from Wynesboro were
run into the yards of the Central
Railway and began to detrain. They

around the power plant and the local
troops removed by order Of Major

At WI Chang, China, more than
200 mutinous soldiers were summari-

German Military Officers Meet With
Fatal Accidents.

Near Freilburg, Saxony, two Ger
man military officers were killed
while flying Friday. This makes the
third double fatality in Europe with
in the present month in which mem

machine suddenly plunged from a
high elevation to the ground. The

PALMETTO BULL MOOSE
MEETING IN COLUMBI1 FRIDAY
TO LAUNCH THIRD PARTY.
Full Moosers" Looking to South
Carolina as Land of Promise on
Strenth Of Factionalism.

Strenth of Factionalism.
The "Bull Moose" will meet in Co.
Iumbia on Friday, Ocooper 4, to or
gsnize the Progressive party in South
Carolina, name the electoral ticket,
which will be placed in the field and
to consider the advisapility OF nom
mating q full State ticket to contest
with the Democratic nominees In the
general election in November, and to
do such other things as are necessary
to launch full grown "Bull Moose"
movement for the Palmetto State.
B. Sherwood Dunn, OF Aiken, Is
acting in the capacity Of "launcher'
for the new party, and is said to be
the national committeeman from this
State. He will preside over the 1ni-
tial gathering here on October 4, ano
see the Roosevelt party started on Its
efforts to capture the electoral votes
O, South Carolina. Mr.. Dunn is a
warm personal friend Of "T. R." and
went to New York to have a confer
ence with National Bull Moose"
Chairman Joseph M. Dixon and the
other dignataries of the third party
efore putting the final touches to hra
plans.
It is rumored here IN Columbia
that the "Bull Moosers" are looking
towards South Carolina as a land OF
great promise, and tnat they are
banking strong on the factional1sm
which reigns within the Democratic
ranks. One rumor has 1t that the
new party hopes that the State com
mittee will throw out Blease and
they would then seek alliance with
him, but indications being that
Blease is going to be declared the
nominee next Tuesday the third par
ty will probably turn to dissatisfied
Democrats with the purpose In view
OF recruiting strength from their
ranks and placing full State and
electoral ticket in the field.
It is accepted here that the Pro-
gressive party will certainly name an
electoral ticket and go before the
people and ask them to vote for Col.
Roosevelt for President. This per-
sonnel Of this ticket and also the pos
sibility of the "Bull Moosers" max
ing overtures for alliance with some
one of the factions in the Democratic
party, make the meeting called for
October 4 full of interest.
It is said there that the personnel
of the third party will be white men,
and most of them hitherto unidenti-
fled with politics in the State. The
Jerome Hotel will be the headquar-
tel: for the meeting Of the Progress
sives on October 4.

Total. .. .. .. .. ..12,181.724
These figures are full and will
rather be over than under the crop.
Tho demand for cloth is good and
sales are made at full figures.
Spinners are staying out of the
market, hoping to force the price OF
cotton still lower, believing that the
bulk Of the crop will be forced upon
the market by November l and sold
at a sacrifice.
Now is the time to market your
cotton as slowly as possible. You
must meet this stay-out Of the mar
ket policy Of the spinners by staying
out of the market yourself. Don't
offer bale for sale that you can pos
sibly hold. Warehouse your cotton
aud borrow money on it, If you must,
to pay your debts, but don't sell. II
the south will follow this policy, you
will, in my opinion, see IS cents cot
ton by January 1, but II you rush it
on the market and have it sold at
forced sale, you will, in my opinion
SEQ it sell at or below VI cents.
If this crop is marketed slowly
you will, in my opinion, see an as
cending market, until IS cents is
reached. Use business judgment in
marketing your cotton; the crop is
short, below supply for the spin
dies for the next IL months; there is
no use in making your losses still
greater by sacrificing your cotton.
The following is President Dabbs's
letter to the farmers OF the State:
To the Farmers of South Carolina:
Never before that I can recall have
we had better prospects of good
prices for cotton. Sixty days ago
cotton sold at 13 1-2 cents at inter-
ior points. All of a sudden without
rhy me or reason" the market broke
ard it continued to go down until
10 1-2 cents was reached in the To-
cal markets. Not having the desired
effect of stampeding the farmers like
it has in the past, We see it steadily
going up. Each day the "wiseacres'
say it will break tomorrow. Each
day they say Liverpool should come
down six or seven points. Each day
sees the report that Manchester con-
tinues to buy at higher prices than
can be paid on this side. What does
it all mean?
II it means anything, it means that
cotton is in demand; that organiza.
ton is telling or that there Is fear
|of it; that the farmers, the merchants
and the bankers need put to pull to.
gether and we will see 15-cent cot
ten for two-thirds OF this crop. II
also means that they are working to-
gether more slowly and the price IL
yours.
We rejoice in the activity display.
ed in organizing chambers Of com.
merce in the towns and cities Of the
South. We rejoice in such "boosters
trips" as Richmond just pulled off
and as Sumter will pull of in few
months. We rejoice at the hopeful
letters from the various counties OF
South Carolina that look to thorough
organizations Of the Farmers Union
in them. Yes, we will organize
When each county has its strong
Farmers Union, and each town It's
aggressive chamber Of commerce all
working in harmony then we will
see State farmers union and State
chamber Of commerce building a
greater South Carolina.

"I WILL VOTE FOR BLEASE"
SAYS ALBERT E. HILL
Aspirant for Office of Solicitor Says
That He Voted for Blease Last
Election And Will Again
This Year.

During the course of his address
before the Blease Club at the
Fraternal Hall in this city Saturday
night, Albert E. Hill, candidate fol-
Solicitor, followed Solicitor Otis lead
and stated definitely that he was in
favor of Blease for Governor. 1t will
be remembered that at a political
meeting held in Spartanburg some
time ago, Mr.. Otis came out for Jones
and said that he would vote for Ira
b. Jones and favored the Jones ticket.
At that time neither Mr.. Hill nor Mr..
Blackwood would state what their
views on the gubernatorial situation
were, although Mr.. Otis stated that
the issue was clearly defined and
should be touched upon, saying that
each candidate should declare his
position.
In the course Of his remarks Satur-
day night, Mr.. Hill said that he had
received number of favors from the
Governor and that the Governor had
helped him out in a number of ways.
He said that he voted for Blease the
last time and that he intended doing
SO again this year.
Neither Mr.. Blackwood nor Mr..
Otis were in attendance at the meet
ing although both had been invited
for the occasion.
