CLARK BLAMES WM. j. BRYAN.

Him-Will Support Wilson.

Washington, July 4.-On his return
to Washington from Baltimore to-
night. Speaker Clark issued the fol-
lowing statement:
mo set OF men ever made a better
or drawer fight for any man in this
world than my friends all over the
country made for me. They have my
heartfelt thanks. We never had

adequate supply of postage stamps

by the duties of the Speakcrship. ]
could. therefore, aid my friends very
little. They made the fight, gave me
1000 majority in the States where
Governor Wilson and / competed in
the primaries and caused me to lead
on thirty ballots in the Convention. in
nine of which I had a clear majority.
Nevertheless, the nomination was be-
slowed upon Governor Wilson.
Il never scratched a Democratic
ticket or bolted Democratic nominee
In my life. l shall not change the
Democratic habit now. l am too
seasoned a soldier not to accept
cheerfully the fortunes Of war
II will support Governor Wilson
with whatever power / possess and
hope he will be elected.
Il lost the nomination solely
through the vile and malicious sland-
ers of Col. William j. Bryan, of Ne
braska. True, these ISLANDERS We're by
invendo and insinuation, but they
were no less deadly for that reason.

COTTON MARKET STEADY.
CROP PRESENTS SUB.
jet FOR CONSIDERATION.
Only in Texas Can Line be Received
Where Crops Are Uniformly Good.

New Orleans, La, July 1.-THE cot
ton trade this week will settle down
70 serious consideration of the prob
lem the growing crop presents.
No two accounts seem to agree as
10 the crop condition except possibly
those from Texas, where the crop ap-
pears to be uniformly good. Other
parts Of the belt apparently have very
spotted crops.
The Eastern belt has had a great
deal Of rain of late and it is the opin
ion Of the bulls that not much more
rain can fall without serious damage
resulting. In spite of this, some tele-
grams Say that portions of the Allan
tics have been benefited by the moist
ure. Bulls probably will be able to
bring about a further advance this
week. however, on the new crops if
rain continues in the East. 1t is also
certain that bright and dry weather
that part Of the belt would encour-
age Deafish endeavor. So far as can
be seen now, it will be weather mar
ket, pure and simple, this week with
the trade trying to find out just what
the crop does need.
The July position will command
more or less attention, but il is hard
y probable that it will be very ac-
tive because the interest in it has
narrowed down, through the liquida-
ion Of this last week. 1t is generally
accepted that the spot delivery will
be liquidated by the tender of actual
cotton.
More new cotton in Texas will be
looked for this week, but it is hardly
probable that receipts of new will be
heavy enough to have even much Of
sentimental effect on the market.

the work Of the majority of the ma

severe than the steam roller methods
of four years ago.

of Candidate Taft and under the di-
rection of President Roosevelt I was

and helped fiatten out the minority
of the committee who were in the

with them as were the Is men Of the

Mr.. Capers was one of the Is.
There will always be a steam

and fair thing is done, providing for
the new national committee to make
up the temporary roll and assume Of

pointed out that throughout his pub

Il believe" he said that we can
solve the problem before us more
readily and more successfully through
the Republican party than through

of which all bu; $363,621,0OS is i'm
circulation and the balance held in
the treasury Vaalts as the assets of
the federal government.
This vast volume of real money
breaks ali records. So far as treasury
statements show, i,r the winding UP
of fiscal year and it Surpasses a
year ago by $S4,5OO,0O0.
Treasury officials. estimating that
the population has grown TO 95,S66,-
600, which TO last Monday, say that a
pro rata distribution Of this money
would give each person $34.26, or six
cents more than year ago.
The total stock of gold in the
United States is $1,S13.499,44O. OF

GALL ISSUED FOR CONVENTION.
ROOSEVELT DISCIPLES MEET AT
CHICAGO. AUGUST 5.
Senator Dixon Thinks Every State
Will he Represented, Although Two
May be Missing.

New York, July IA call to the
people Of the United States who are
In sympathy with the national pro-
gressive movement to send delegates
to national convention to open in
chicago, August 5, was given out this
afternoon by United States Senator
Dixon Of Montana, Theodore Roose-
velts campaign manager. The call is
signed by members of the committee
chosen at a meeting, held in Chicago,
and also includes signatures of
Roosevelt followers in 40 States.
THE territories have no place in
national convention and will not be
considered" declared Senator Dixon,
in commenting upon the signatures.
AS for the missing eight States, the
most Of them probaly will send dele
gates, although they have not taken
part in the call. Maine, for instance,
postponed definite action because
there is now a strong fight on in the
primaries, with sympathy running in
favor of the progressive movement.
Delaware, North Carolina, Arkansas
and Nevada probably will take part
in the convention, although Missis-
sippi and South Carolina may possi-
bly, be unrepresented.
Each State will be expected to Sc
lect its delegates by its own para
phernalia. The representation will be
cut down to just one-half that of the
previous conventions. This was con-
sidered advisable since this conven-
ton is to be notably a deliberative
body and will certainly be composed
of class of men altogether different
from those who usually attend con-
ventiOns.
In all probability the convention
will adopt the name National Pro-
gressive for the new party. Thus
far no issues have been authorita-
lively stated"

were going out rabbit hunting. the
shooting being the result of dis
pute over she'll The defense claim
ed that the shooting was unintention-
al and that Nolan. the boy who was
shot, made dying statement To this
effect and that Toney should not be
punished. II was also claimed by the
defense that Toney should be let off
on account of an error i'm the indict-
ment, which stated that Nolan died
then and there" from the effects Of
the shooting, when the evidence
showed that he lived three weeks be-
fore he died. Judge Wilson overruled
this point. however.
Both of the boys were about four
teen years Of age at the time of the
shooting.

Several hundred we'll known busi-

tomorrow to organize the South Caro-

Handy Is making arrangements for
the meeting.
The reports from different sections
OF the State" said Secretary Handy
yesterday, ''are very encouraging and
indicate q large and enthusiastic
meeting.
Sumter will send GO delegates and
la brass band composed Of 10 men.
Florence will send about so delegates;
the Florence and Sumter delegates
coming over in a special train. Ker-
shaw will send II or more delegates;
Branchville 10 or more; Greenwood
40 or more; Camden six to ten; Che
raw large delegation; Charleston 25
or more; Orangeburg between 25 and
60; Beaufort one; Spartanburg two;
Greenville one; Clinton two; Union
nine or more; Chester five; Bolton
one. and it is expected that a great
many more will be reported between
now and July 9. 1t appears from the
above fignres that we will have be-
tween ESQ and 800 delegates in at
tendance.
This shows spirit Of awakening
|all over the State for State good and
II Is believed that the movement will
be given a great impetus by the en-
thusiasm that will be manifested at
the organization.
Much credit is due Sumter for the
interest that she has taken in this or
ganization and the number OF dele
gates that she will send, Their 60
delegates with the brass band Of Is
men will leave the union station in
Columbia on a special street car i'm
|mediately after arrival and will pa
rade Main street on foot, starting at
the capitol
IF all Of the cities and towns in
the State would send half the number
of delegates that Sumter will send.
In comparison to their population, the
opera house, where the meeting will
be held. would not be large enough to
seat the delegates. The desire and de-
termination on the part of these pub
lie spirited citizens to put before the
country the natural resources and al
vantages of their State is very crafty
ing and there has been no movement
In this line that has ever received
heartier response than this one, from
all parts of the State.
ut Is hoped that the citizens of CO.
lumbia. who have only to walk or ride
from their places of business to the
opera house. will turn out in full
force and lend their help and energy
to the cause. 1t is also hoped that a
great many Columbians will attend
the dollar dinner that night. Let it
be remembered that one has not to be
a member of any chamber Of COM
merce To attend this meeting or the
dollar dinner The only requisite
In the latter Is that the dollar be paid
either beforehand or at the door"
